Behind a few of the white haired individuals I see two much larger figures. They look roughly 7 feet tall and for all tense and purposes look like humanoid wolves. They have the the body and abdomen of an athletic human, while having large arms and massive fists. Their bodies are covered in white and silver fur and the two wolf men's claws shine just as bright as their eyes do here on floor one.
None of them approached me but just continued to stare at me. I didn't pay them much mind but it was uncomfortable to have them watch me. When I squinted my eyes and focused on their levels I saw that the white wolves were each around level 270. Though one of the ones in front looked human the two in the back looked more beasts than demi humans. The other demi humans on this level aren't even over level 50. So since I have been waiting on Hjokk and Cam it is a tad bit unsettling being watched by these large people.
I didn't have to wait long as Hjokk came back and arrived on my shoulder.
"I gathered enough meat I believe. What are you planning on doing anyways Vali? You plan on feeding everyone down here?"
"That's exactly what I'm planning on doing."
Me and Hjokk began to whisper to one another. She still didn't want anyone to hear her so she would only speak between people I was healing. It was kind of funny as she seemed to act quite frustrated that I wouldn't just take time for her....'...Hehe...though she can't make a grin she can give a pretty intimidating glare.'
'I don't blame her I guess. I can't just go around trusting anyone. And this society also seems to filled with their own internal problems.'
Hjokk even brought a few trees she cut down to make a fire and brought everything out of her inventory in a wide open space a ways away from the demi humans shacks. A large heard of some kind of animal is dropped next to the large wall only a small distance away from everyone.
'...WOW.'
Hjokk may have kill over 400 monsters. I have no idea how many bodies are there but it's not like the smell of death could get any worse around here. The mountain of monsters stood taller than the wall that surrounds this city. The monsters looked to be some type of bull type monster.
Everyone around is wide eyed at the large mountain of bodies and Hjokk flew back over to my shoulder. I threw the boards into a pile and cast fireball into the center.....Within moments a large bonfire was made. I took out a small table I had built using tool creation and a couple other supplies I always keep in my inventory for when I cook outdoors. Luckily many of the races down here have the dismantling ability and I had each of them cut the leather off of the meat. Apparently many of the Jiji are quite great with their hands. I'm not sure if they are skilled butchers or just hard workers.
Each of them work in unison and collected the leather and worked to cut through meat cleanly to save every last piece of meat available. They were very intricate and watching them was actually quite fascinating. They were very quick and their hands I know noticed were rather large for their bodies as well. They looked to be quite strong for their small bodies and moved quite quickly. The Jiji race is small but they look to be quite the little workers.
After the leather was collected they chopped the meat and brought it to me in stacks they even made a tarp made out of the leather and stacked it in unison. After I saw how each of the worked together to climb the mountain and lift the bodies in a lined faction I then realized how that massive wall on floor 52 must have been built. These demi humans all work rather well together and if this city is where the majority of them live, I think they are responsible for building most of the things I have seen here. While the Reiki were more of farmers and resemble the idea of monks when I think of them. The Jiji race appear to be a race that also has its own benefits...Cam acted like they are looked down on but regardless if its because they are hungry or not they are all quite hard workers. They even dismantle much faster and cleaner than I do.
I started rubbing the ingredients I mixed in my hands over the beef from the strange monsters Hjokk had brought. Around that time Cam came along and gave me a lot of ingredients from their farms and some crystals that he could collect in the allotted time. He stared wide eyed at the ridiculous size of bodies of animals and just stared back at me like I was crazy.
Just then the Annunake race people I believe to have identified walked over to Cam.
"Ah Captain, It's good to see you again."
"Ah...It's great to see you as well Akino you look well."
A female Annunake walked up to Cam and addressed him as a captain. After that several individuals walked up along with her.
"Yes Cameron....What exactly are you doing down here?"
One of the wolf men from before came and stepped in front of Cam and stood taller than both of us. He had the legs of a wolf as well and he wore dark black pants over them. He had a large white bushy tail coming from behind his back but had no shirt on showing off his strongly formed physique. He had grey scars covering his white furred face, body, and arms. He looked to have been through many battles.....The wolf looked to be quite strong.
"...Adimar....It is a pleasure to see see you again sir. I am simply here along with Vali and are planning on cooking a meal for those on the lower floors."
"....Vali hmm..."
The large wolf faced man came walking towards me and looked to be observing me as he walking around me. Though I don't have an appraisal type skill, I can't see much about objects or people in this world. Though since we are in a dungeon I can see levels of those of anyway level higher than me if I squint my eyes. Apparently not all individuals outside a dungeon can see levels or information on others unless they have an appraisal type skill. Only monsters show levels. Though since I am a blessed one if I squint I can perceive some form of information about someone.
The wolf's name is Adimar and his level was 288. When he got to my side he stopped .
"....Boy....Are you human?"
He whispers that into my ear while I am cooking. I still have my mask on though he must have saw my human shaped ears. I continued cutting up the meat and mixing some of the vegetables into a soup for everyone. The ingredients rubbed between my hands dropped into the broth I had been making with the seasoned cooked meat.
"That's right.....though I'm not sure why you call me a boy."
".....Tis your scent little one. You don't give off the smell of an adult. "
The white haired human looking girl looked back at me and smirked. She looked the most human of everyone down here. I can see what looks like ears to have been cut off on the top of her head, as well as part of her tail looks to have been ripped off.
I'm not even sure what this girl is talking about but Adimar isn't refuted what she said either. It's weird but this girl in front of me doesn't appear to be showing any demi human traits whatsoever. There were only 4 of the white haired race I thought to be the Annunake but two of them looked more beast than man, while the other two just looked like regular humans.
Adimar didn't say anything but continued to stare at me with his silver eyes. I didn't respond much to it and just continued cooking the meal. I wasn't sure if he would start anything here but since I'm claiming to cook everyone a meal and have healed many here I'm sure he wouldn't try to fight me here just because I'm a human.
After cooking the broth in a large pot I continued to cook meet in the form of steaks and made them over a fire. I put a big iron slab and rig it to stand over a smaller fire I have created. I'm not sure how many dishes I prepared or how many mouths were fed but I'd say the crowd was roughly around 9,000 people or well demi humans. I wasn't sure if we collected enough food due to how fast the food was being eaten, but the demi humans were all quite small on this floor so it was possible to feed everyone until their stomachs were full.
My Cooking skill had also risen to Novice Level 3. Cooking for 9,000 people who also had several helpings rose the skill quite quickly. I'm still in the earlier stages of the skill mastery and the later masteries take forever to increase, though I have risen a lot today thanks to the increase in experience gained and cooking for so many people. I think Loki might have a hand in this for helping me gain experience faster but I don't want to think about that right now. Thinking of his stupid smile would only put me in a bad mood...'...Ugh...Loki.'
As I stared off squinting my eyes at the thought I hear the voices of everyone around filling their stomachs excitedly. Many at first were even unsure how to speak to me when they walked up to receive food I gave them. Filling their bowls with soup or giving them a giant steak made their eyes each shine much more than before. It almost brought many of them to tears as they continued shoveling food down there mouth. They probably didn't even chew any of it.
Though I raised my cooking skill quite a lot in just one feast down here. From gaining all those levels in mastery I also gained 5,000 to my health as well. The buffs from cooking go to my Hp, stamina, and sometimes even my intellect/wisdom when using different cooking methods I haven't tried in this world yet. This world rewards everything you do and cooks get some interesting buffs in this world. I want to see if there are even cooking skills in this world. If there are classes and professions there has to be things that work for every class like the game would..'..Hmm.'
There were thousands of Jiji's, Arachnee, Pixie and even some Annunake in attendance. The feast and bonfire lasted for several hours and after many had eaten I saw each race show their reactions much differently. The Jiji race sat back and relaxed, some of the pixies would dance around the fire and the Arachnee would even dance with one another too. It is remarkable how they can find happiness down in a place like this. Their spirits appear to be up which is good. This was truly never a site I would see in my old world.
So many different races coming together and enjoying our time together. I talked to many of the races and used some of the crystal gems on those I couldn't cure before. Most of the gems were green and blue while a couple were yellow. I was told the strength in magic crystals go green-blue-yellow-red-purple-black.
I used them on several of those who looked sick and was not just an injury I could fix before. The 10% rise in healing magic along with the effects of a crystal are truly spectacular. I can feel like my healing touch was a hose that was tied up for a long time and then suddenly released. With the power from the small magic crystals I now could feel Freya's Soul Recovery burst from the stone and shot into the individuals I used the skill on. Some it healed entirely of whatever sickness or disease they may have had. Though when I used it on a pixie something weird happened. The light from the crystal would glow brightly then scatter over the pixie like a shower. The sparks get absorbed and a feint light starts to glow around them.
They are a magical race so maybe they can be healed in different ways than other races.
"My wings are back!!"
The girl I had tried healing from before had large royal blue wings extend from her back and glow in a way they hadn't before. The light was a bright aqua color and lit up the area in a whole new light that didn't come from the large bonfire from before.
"Th..thank you!....Vali!"
She hugged me again and many of the pixies from before came around and started jumping up and down.
"Look Aurora's wings are back!"
The pixie girl Aurora in front of me has her eyes glowing now in a bright color of blue. Her hair was dark before and even her eye color had changed. Even though her face and body are still dirty. Her hair color is now a bright color of green. It's enough that there is even a glow to it.
'The pixie race appear to be a magically infused race. Perhaps living down here is more unhealthy for them then I'm aware of.'
"Vali!"
"VALIII!!"
The pixies started dancing around as if very excited for some reason. I guess they knew I was going to heal them though none of them came forward and asked. They all just kept dancing around the pixie girl seeming happy for her. I started healing each of them one by one and my Soul Recovery skill actually rose 2 levels to Intermediate level 9.
Due to using my recovery skill at advanced stages as well as by repairing pixies has lead to a massive increase in mastering skill levels. Though the earlier levels of mastery come quick this is a great place to level up your skills. I can't wait to fight some monsters in this dungeon.
I only healed around 30 of the pixies and each shined in a different ambience that lit up the once dark dungeon with their after glow. In such a dark and condemned place, with grim surrounding the walls, the ceiling, the ground the stand on, they couldn't have have acted happier. Even the ones who weren't healed were hugging the ones who were and they all shared in each others happiness....It was truly fascinating. They are an interesting culture.
I felt an intense gaze and looked over to the same white wolf from before, Adimar. His silver eyes stared back at me and his long white hair flowed like a main from his large dire wolf appearance.
I look away and see Cam is speaking to some one. Cam salutes the person and runs over to me and tells me the leaders have been waiting on floor 52 for a while now and have been waiting for us. I guess we have lost track of time.
I bid everyone farewell and told them I would be back soon. Karma and her mother both came to wish me a goodbye and to thank me again for everything. I also saw Henley and many of the jiji race behind him waving at me. The pixies stopped dancing and ran towards me to all hug me and wish me a goodbye. There race is the most accepting of me. I don't know if it's that they trust easy, or what but apparently in their culture giving them that bright light back is a big deal to them. I heard them whisper quite a lot amongst themselves but they all flew around and waved at me goodbye.
"Bye Vali!"
All the men and women pixies shouted in unison and then Adimar came walking up.
"Hope it's alright if I join you both."
"Ah....Chief Adimar....I don't suppose that would be a problem at all."
"Haha it's fine Cam you needn't salute me. I simply wish to know what the council's will with this boy as well."
He glared down at me and looked forward. He hasn't really spoken to me yet for that one time but he hasn't given me an indication at liking me at all. His glares at first were that of curiosity, when he found out I was human he then gave me looks of odd suspicion. Though after I saw him and his followers talking with Cam at the feast each of his followers have looked at me now with completely different glares. I don't feel that they think well of me though.
"I'll be tagging along as well then."
The woman Akino also chose to come with Cam, Adimar and myself. Since we needed to get to floor 52 quickly according to the Reiki attendant we followed him deeper into the city to a different platform. It is part of the building that nearly reached the top of the first floor's ceiling. We stepped into a large platform and where an Eis Neko in dark clothing was waiting for us. He glared at us and we stepped onto a platform and he activated something on his bracelet. Then all of us were then transported to a large room.
"Hmm so you have a warp ability?"
"....It is just a way some of us travel quickly through floors. I had to borrow this from General Alysteir....She is very pissed she was left waiting."
The neko race guy seems oddly angry with me for some reason. Then again I'm not getting nice looks from anyone else either. The giant room is empty and we are told to follow the the neko raced man. Walking through to the outside the floor I walked through this morning I now notice is completely abandoned. There isn't the sound of anything here and I could have sworn I heard some training or people on the wall working from before. I can't hear anything now.
We continue to walk through the quiet city while light from the sky illuminated the entire town from the light of the large moon in the sky. A large blanket of shade however stood over a large majority of the city due to the giant wall, though it was a large city from it's interior now that I'm walking through it, it is still deadly quiet.
"So...That odd bird of yours....Does it taste as good as that food you made?"
The woman Akino tried to make a conversation as we made our way through the abandoned city streets.
"Ha...I wouldn't know, I've never tried to hunt something like Hjokk."
"Oh is that its name? So it's more of a pet then."
Hjokk then glares back at me and I just simply smile back at her.
"Haha, I don't know I feel like I'm honestly the pet at times."
"That so...."
The white haired women continued to walk forward through the city without looking back at me. I don't know what her or Adimar's problem with me were but they did not seem to give off an atmosphere of liking me. They did eat my food but they honestly didn't give me the impression they trusted me at all.
"Yep...fraid my bird is much scarier than me...."
"Ok...we're here."
With that the neko man opened up double doors to the quiet room and the image of the same war room from earlier was now filled people. Several demi humans of many kinds I haven't seen yet were gathered.
Sitting around the table was an assortment of different demi humans with several of their own kind standing behind them. Their was a white haired jiji race, a white colored Arachnee woman with white hair along with a white spider like body. Behind her were two Arachnee that had short black hair and long pointy fingers. They looked to be rather dangerous. The white Spider queen also had 2 sets of red eyes and looked at me with a very dangerous gaze.
There was also a strange birdlike race seated across from them.They each have large feathered wings coming from their backs and brightly colored feathers coming from the tops of their skulls and hair. They resembled a war chief headdress in a way. They looked to be large for demi humans and the large male leading them had the head of an eagle and it looked almost like one of those mascots you would see running around a sporting event. Though this creature gave off a very intimidating presence of his own. His muscles were very large and he his talon like appendages looked to be dangerous.
Sitting beside them was a red pixie that glowed much brighter than the ones I saw on level 1. She was looking at me curiously and had a couple of other small pixies gathered behind her as well. There were more Annunake race here as well and even a few that looked like Adimar. They were all strong individuals and each gave off a serious atmosphere while looking towards us.
There was also Malfius sitting beside a blue haired man with short hair. He was a member of the dark clothed neko race and standing behind him is that same blue haired neko women from before. Next to her was a white haired women in black clothing and also wore the twin swords at her side. Though she looked to be from the same race as Malfius. She was actual quite an alluring women.
As much as I wanted to stop and stare at that women I couldn't. There standing next to her is someone who gives me a very erie feeling. Out of everyone in this entire room this individual gives off such a tingling sensation I'm forced to take notice of her...'Why is my focus drawn to this woman?'
There in the same dark uniform and a captains hat is a women with long blue hair. Her black uniform fits tightly to her figure and looks much more fancy than those around her. She has the same swords at her sides but looks to have several items she is wearing that look peculiar. She is somehow of higher rank than the other individuals around her but not the man sitting next to Maflius. He looks to be the leader. But I can't for some reason take my eye of this women with long blue hair.....
Though these are it....These are the 7 race leaders all gathered in one room with their representatives. These are the Seven people I need to talk to.
"Great your here now Vali...Adimar oh it's good to see you, Though I wasn't expecting you here of all places."
Malfius spoke up and adressed the white wolf man standing next to me.
"Yes.....I too wished to join in on this council. I hope that is ok with all of the esteemed leaders of the alliance?"
The others looked around and simply nodded and only the other white wolves showed concern. Before anyone continues the wolf man Adimar stepped forward in front of me and addressed everyone in the council room. Behind me I noticed Akino was closing the doors behind her.
"Now then.....before we begin, though I am not an individual of rank anymore, I request we sanction a gag order on everyone in this room...Regardless of what is spoken here....nothing leaves this room!"
The room became silent at Adimar's words. The demi humans looked around the room and not much protest was made. Though the blue haired man did speak up before there was much say in the matter.
".....Though you are correct, you are an individual who has lost your rank so who has also lost the right to be in this room. However.....We were already planning on placing a gag order on this event. The floor is off limits for the day and the city has been moved to a location on 45. We need to make this quick."
The blue haired man looked straight at me with a look as if looking bored with me and not wanting to continue.
"So Malfius...this is the person.....This person is the one who is going to save us and slay Balor?!"
The large eagle demi human yelled this at Malfius and looked at me while leaning back in his chair. Those behind him shook their heads and seemed agitated. The were men and women in their race that didn't have the heads of birds. But each had feathers naturally coming out of the forearms and heads. Each stood quite tall.
".....If you would all let me explain....I will tell you the truth about this individual today."
"He's human."
Adimar stopped Malfius from continuing while he walked over and leaned on a pillar next to table and stating this fact.
"What!?"
"Impossible!!"
Loud noises irrupted in the room and every one of the demi human races that were in the room started making loud noises and looking amongst themselves then right back at me. Some look at me curiously while others look at me with disdain. Each of them however look to show the same look of shock at my sudden appearance.
"....It is not impossible...Vali here....Came from beyond this dungeon. He's a human from beyond this place."
With that everyone started to show the same looks of shock, all but the Eist Neko and Reiki races. Everyone continued to show looks of anger or surprise while they continued to look straight back at me. All of them....It was an unpleasant feeling and I honestly didn't know when I was suppose to say anything.
"Are we sure he's human....I mean he looks like he could just be another Annunake?"
"Nope....He's got the ears on the side."
Akino then chimed in and the rest of the audience continued to clamor.
"Ok....now how are we sure Malfius, so if this is someone from beyond this dungeon, if he's not some Annunake or some human whose the ancestor of some who survived in this place, what's this puny little guy gonna do to to get us out of here?"
To this statement from the blue haired man sitting in the chair made everyone nod there heads and look back at Malfius awaiting his answer.
"This puny human took down Malthiel...."
Hearing Malfius say this no one clamored like before or made any noise, rather they just slowly turned their heads back and stared at me now with an even more strange look.....I mean I guess I know how unbelievable that could sound for those who knew Malthiel but the looks they are giving me are ones as if they heard a rodent somehow took down a lion.
With everyone looking at me I simply took out Abgrund and held it before everyone in the room. The dark aura is released from it and everyone in the rooms whole body froze and tensed up while looking at me. Though since it gives everyone around such an odd feeling when I bring it out I put it back into my inventory.
"It's true!..."
"H..How could he take down Malthiel!!"
Many voices started clamoring together amongst themselves, all other than Malfius and the blue haired man sitting beside him. They along with the demi humans standing behind them must have already received the news of Malthiel's passing and accepted me as the one who killed him. My eyes wonder around the room and found each of the members here were all high level, well higher than me. The three highest leveled individuals in the room however were Malfius, the man sitting beside him, and then the blue haired woman behind them. This woman who had a very dangerous look about her, was at the highest level of 357 and seemed to be much more dangerous than the man in the chair who was 334.
"If it were true his level would be much higher than Malthiel's. But he's not even above level 200. It's a lie!"
One of the bird men from behind the Adler representative voiced his concern.
"Yes....I too am puzzled by this Malfius."
The blue haired man who appears to be one of the leaders of the conference looks back at Malfius as if pressing him to answer. He blue haired man in a black uniform had two blue pointed ears above his head but kept a fairly young adults appearance. He looked older than me but it was hard to tell just how old he was. I'm not sure of how the demi humans of this world age. I'm curious as to now that I have several demi humans living in my cabin. I was planning to view their growth alongside my own but hopefully I can also learn some things from these people as well.
I smiled and looked around the confused state of the room. Hjokk looked back at me and whispered in my ear that we should be careful here. The mood does seem to be getting bad. Looking towards Adimar and Akino beside him they both appear to be looking back at me with the same angry gaze as before. I don't know what it is about a human to them but they do not like me for some reason.
"Yes well..."
"Now, now....See everyone heres problem is they just keep thinking I'm going to help you all out of the goodness of my heart. See....I have my own demands as well for helping you all."
I cut off Malfius and everyone in the room then turned back to myself and the purple bird resting on my shoulder.
"...What was that?"
The blue haired demi human man looked back at me now seemingly annoyed. His earlier bored behavior spiked when he heard me speak up for the first time.
Everyone else didn't appear to enjoy my tone either so I continued.
"....Sorry I'm just not the good samaritan type. Though, I do believe that we can help one another...You guys agree to a few things for me....I help you escape this dungeon."
I looked over at Adimar and Akino and they smirked at me then glanced back at the blue haired man sitting next to Malfius.
"AHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Everyone erupted into laughter and some snickered to each other about the statement I just made. I guess to them in a world like this level is everything. A place where your strength is literally said right above your head at all times. Not like it is outside this dungeon. Unless you have a type of skill to view it all you can see is the name of a person and hp bar when squinting above a person's head.
To a person like me coming in claiming to do what they haven't been able to accomplish for centuries I guess would be hard to believe for them. I don't blame them.....though....I'm not really in the mood to play games right now. I've seen what the actions of this council have done. I can understand the ideas of over population on some levels. But I feel that they should all unite together in this place to get out of here. I saw and met quite a few people in the lower floors. I've gotten to know some of the policies this group has implemented..'...I need to show them here that I make the rules from here on out starting now!'
"Ok....How's this human from beyond this place..."
"Vali..."
"What was that?"
"Vali...that's my name."
"Ok...Vali....How's about you prove to us your someone we can put our faith in. Simply walking in here claiming to be able to go against a god! To say you'll do what none of our kind have ever been able to accomplish for thousands of years while appearing so weak! Let's forget the fact your a human, something we all know to be a botched race.....You walk in here....Holding the weapon of the one we hate most!"
Slam!
His voice gradually got louder and looked back at me. He slammed his fists on the large table. There on the hard stone table the entire edge of the table has been shattered. The entire stone table cracked throughout the surface and a large cracking sound filled the room.
"Fine....What do you have in mind."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'This.....seems unfair....'
The blue haired man I have now learned to be called Malaki proposed a 3 on 1 match between me and 3 selected members of their choosing. We left to a lower floor that resembled a humid jungle. It had a large bottomless pit we were standing over with several stone pillars that rose over the large abyss. This floor too had many bodies lining it's walls...but none on the ceilings.
"What's wrong human!....If you can't handle these three opponents there's no way you'll be able to conquer Balor's Dungeon! Hell....If you can't beat these three now your not even a match for Alysteir!"
Yah...I don't think I'll like Malaki. Alysteir was the blue haired girl that stood behind him. Her grim appearance gave her the look of a person who had seen many horrors in her life. Though the looks she gave me were that of a crazed person. She was however the strongest of the Eis Neko's and was hailed as the strongest in this dungeon currently and had the largest level of anyone trapped here. In fact I can honestly understand, just the atmosphere around that person is very unpleasant. Having her gaze on me this whole time has constantly kept my hairs on my neck stand on end. Though luckily I don't have to face her right now. If I did I would probably have to get serious and might actually not be able to take her at all if not for my death's grip.
Though my stats are high for a human around my level, I have no idea the stat growth of someone who trains daily in a dungeon for the entirety of their lives. They are each strong clans of demi humans who have lived the better part of a millennia in this dungeon and have trained and learned to survive in the most dangerous environments Balor could throw at them. They've lasted the horrors, and the long fight of this dungeon. They and are amongst the remaining seven races left in this place. Currently I'm going to fight 3 of these powerful races.
One Reiki woman who is wearing the black uniform from earlier. She is the same one with white hair who didn't match the group of Neko races who were standing beside her. Though she does look to be quite strong. Also the bird like man leader, and a white wolf man leader who also is in a beast form. Apparently the Annunake are a race that can transform into these large white legendary beasts and are said to be incredibly strong. They are according to all the other races here amongst few legendary races of demi human produced by gods. Their levels were 298, 305, and 301. These guys were nearly twice my level. If I used my Demonic awaking skill my strength and defense would rise by 200% and the rest of my stats would rise by 25%. That would put my level at around 180-190. Though my strength and defense would be at around level 300. So if I use this skill I can possibly match some of these larger demi humans if they get close. Though if things get bad I can always flash away.
My stats are high for someone around my level I'm told, I'm sure my genes have something to do with that as well. If it weren't for the blessed skills or the inherited abilities I received.....I probably wouldn't stand a chance in this world.
The wolf growls at me and the eagle person flexes his muscles. The wolf I'm fighting isn't Adimar. He and his female friend are standing alongside several other delegates that are still remaining on this floor. We left floor 52 and came to floor 11 to a weird pit like structure that covers a large area of the dungeon floor. It has many large steps and stones to jump across and use to get to the other side. The spectators or watching me standing several dozens of meters away from my 3 opponents. The girl stands in the center and keeps both her hands on her sword hilts. To her right is the wolf man and he is standing on another pillar that reaches far down into the empty chasm below. To the Reiki women's left is the bird man with the head of an eagle. The same boss eagle who was angry from before.
Though.....I should be focusing now....'Like I said before.....I really don't feel like playing games with these people and I want to show who the dominate one in this relationship will be from here forward. If they continue to think they are in charge they may complicate things for me in the future. If I shut these people down quickly...I can probably get them to agree to my demands more easily later on.....Ugh...It could be difficult though. Each of them are around twice my level. Two of them are the leaders of their races delegates and one appears to be quite skilled in using a sword. This could be difficult...'....No.....I can end this quickly.'
"BEGIN!"
Someone yelled for the start of the match and the eagle man rose in the air and started flapping his wings back and forth rapidly. His wing spanned several meters in the air and when he extended them a large shadow fell over the fighting grounds. The Adler race man's wings blocked out the sun from this floors walls and began to shine. Then small lights began to form in the shapes of feathers and began to shoot down in my direction like a machine gun firing off. Loud roars ring out as the feathers begin to crash into the stone pillars.
At that moment I feel the Reiki woman closing in on my position at an alarming speed while the Annunake man is flanking around my right side. Even though there are large gaps between some of these large pillars we are standing on they move at a tremendous speed.....If I didn't have Loki's gift I probably wouldn't be able to last in a fight with these people....well.....I don't feel like thanking him anyways.
I looked towards the steep drop below and smiled just before disappearing from the the battle arena entirely. The faces of all the onlookers including my pursuers were in awe. That's what I thought.....The Eis Demi human girl Ecclaire from before was under the impression I just moved very quickly. They didn't know I had the ability to travel through space.....After talking with Loki I have learned something very interesting about spatial magic.....I'm really not using it properly. To use something properly you exude the most out of it you possibly can. I haven't been using it well at all.
I appeared over the Adler man who was flying overhead and landed a stunning blow on the back of the Adler's head with the back of my leg.
BAM!!!!!!
"What was that?!"
"LOOk! Up there!"
The Adler race man then began to.....glide slowly back to the ground. Though he didn't struggle he just simply descended and flew downward slowly. He was appearing to fly away from the area but the amount of damage done to him wasn't much at all. I used my spatial magic to appear back onto another pillar that was roughly where they were originally stood due to the damage from that wing attack from the Adler race. The pillars that got hit with those feathers of light were destroyed and several of the large stones that stood over the large abyss began to topple several over. Many of them were erased entirely as if they were shot with a gatling gun. I then looked back at the Adler man.
As I looked further at the Adler demi human I noticed he wasn't flying away at all. He had been knocked unconscious by my hit to the back of his head and is now slowly descending to the dungeon floor, his wing span simply being so large it carried him and made him continue to glide over the floor. It's kind of a funny sight to be honest.
"Pffftttt...hehe"
"YOU!."
"...In one hit?...Fine I'll get serious."
The Annunake and the Reiki woman then faced back at me and then decided to take me as a serious opponent. The woman's blades were still not drawn yet but she then slowly began to advance towards me while Annunake's arm was a very large spear and threw it at me.
After seeing this I simply activated my spatial magic again and appeared on a pillar only a few feet in front of me but now completely out of the way of the spear that was moments from hitting me. Now only several pillars forward from where I stood the Reiki woman had now turned to her side to face me and we had now made triangle the three of us.
The large broad Annunake wolf leaped towards me and swung his claws in the direction of my neck. The crowd could here the loud snapping of my fingers and his image then disappeared entirely.
Loki gave me a lot to think about after showing me some of the ways he uses spatial magic. I was using it all wrong. I was simply thinking I was teleporting myself from one place to another. But essentially that's wrong, I'm not moving from one place to another at all. In fact I'm simply stepping into another space when I activate spatial magic. To put it more simply.....If I opened up a space to step through that would make me appear 100's of feet away from where I am, and put my left foot through it. My left foot would then appear in that space while the rest of me is still in this space. It's essentially like being in two places at once and thusly destroys the physics of my world in what I am doing.
If it was possibly for Loki to place me in a space of his choosing and even amplify the time perceived in that space by a million he could essentially keep me trapped in a box forever. This thought is truly terrifying to me so I wanted to increase my understandings of spatial magic. I figured out I don't simply have to move myself from one space to another. I could move others to spaces I essentially want to move them too as well. If I dignify a space and that person steps into it I can make them appear in another space of my choosing.
I chose that Annunake man to reappear somewhere roughly close to the ceiling of this floor and dropped him.
"AHHH!!!!!"
I can hear his faint screams rather far away....hehe..
Now it is just me and this girl. This Reiki girl who is wearing the same clothes as all the Eis Neko's but is clearly not from the same race as them. She still hasn't drawn her swords yet. and is staring at me quite intently....'Ok....I'll fight one on one. And I'd honestly like to see how I'd fair against a swordsman.
I increased my claws and tell her I'm ok with accepting her challenge. She lunges towards and when I throw a punch with my right arm her image disappeared and my legs are swept from under me. I immediately activated spatial magic a pillar away and then jump towards her. She reacts smoothly as if never losing track of my wear a bouts and jump back towards me.
She released her twin swords and flipped over top of me and spun downward in a fan like motion.
I deflected the spin with my sharp claws and and tried to deliver a shot into her stomach.
The force from me parrying her swords flipped her body and she somehow rode the spin and connected her fist that was still clutching one of her swords into my ribs.
Critical Hit!
You have been hit with Chi Divider
You have lost 200 mana
- 2,000 mana per minute will be lost if chi continues to flow out of your body
- Agility has been reduced by 15%
- Strength has been reduced by 10%
- Effectiveness of skills has been reduced by 12%
- You have received 600 damage
'....What!?'
The force of the punch entering my ribcage sent feelings of lightning down my spinal cord and jolted my entire system. As hard and tough as my defenses were my entire body ached after this hit. This was honestly the strongest punch I have ever received in my entirely life. It....yah ....it's way stronger than Master Fe's. The power of that blow regardless of how strong it felt like it did all sorts of internal damage to my insides.
This person is strong. One punch to my ribs cage did all of this?
I tried to land a rapid counter but she swung around me on the narrow pillar like she was swimming through the air. She then jumped and quickly landed a kick to my now other ribcage and a much stronger force than from what I felt the first time sent me flying.
CRACK!
BOOOOOM!
The force from hitting my right side sent me flying dozens of meters crashing on top of another stone pillar. I started to fall over and quickly grabbed the top of the pillar.
Critical Hit!
-You have received 1200 damage.
Due to the force of the blow to your body, stamina has been reduced by 15%
I should have a high defense, for a human, for anything around my level. This world even shows how my growth should stack up to another. If my defense is high enough it should be able to support a fight against these people. Maybe...I might need to use Demonic Awakening against this person.
That one punch felt like nothing I've ever felt in my life. I can honestly feel my energy being drained after that hit. Honestly....If I didn't have Loki's blessing I may have not been able to handle 3 of these people at once....No I'd be kidding myself if I thought I could.
'Yah....I always thought but if I could have chosen out of a catalog for animals or monsters of this world I could have absorbed other than Malthiel and the other monsters. If I had the world tree essence in me whenever I absorbed any of those other monsters could have given me a completely different body actually with completely different skills....Though....If I could have chosen.....A tiger's legs would have been one of my top choices definitely.
Tigers have tremendous leg strength. Though I acquired some traits from those horned rabbits and the defense of a boss gorilla. Tigers legs are truly incredible. Back in my world a tiger's leg muscles are so muscular, some tigers after death still have the ability to keep their bodies standing due to their massive leg strength. They can break and sever jaws with one swing from their monstrous paws, and this women is a race of white tiger humans.
...Ok I need to get serious here.
I lift myself up and face her and she quickly advances on me.
I activate death grip to see if I can stop her in her tracks but oddly..'...I feel her life force but....it's weird. It's....Like it's too large to hold in my hands and I can't firmly grasp it.....could....could she have a resistance to this skill?'
Death grip is still in its first stage, due to my manipulation I thought I would be able to at least stop this person from advancing but sadly I can't. She smiles at my odd face and swings her swords back at me.
I try to activate lightning step and this somehow gives me an edge against this woman's incredibly fast strikes. Between each strike I activate it to increase my cognitive functions and speed to match her strikes and parry her swings. I don't think my claws can hold off for long. If I didn't have this ability to time it just right I probably wouldn't be able to hold this for very long.
The swords are from an odd material like my necklace and seem to produce some kind of heat to them as well along with the light that comes off of them. If I didn't activate lightning step at just the right time and deflect it I'm sure the strength of this sword would actually shatter my claws regardless. They are made of an incredibly strong and hot material.
The colors danced along with each strike and we continued our battle on the pillars dancing around as the spectators watched us. Wee would jump between pillar to pillar reacting to the other we each tried to create an opening to launch a counter to the other. Though we appeared to be quite evenly matched though she is slowly beginning to gain ground on me. I feel as if I am stronger and possibly faster than her but she moves in such a way it's just very odd to track her. Honestly she doesn't run in a way like humans from my world run. I run and smash through the ground while cutting through the air.She moves as if the wind is carrying her across the battle ground for her and she simply strikes when she tries to find an opening.
She then back flipped and jumped from pillar to pillar attacking me and the battle went on for a long time. She was truly a frightening opponent. Honestly, If I tried to fight all three of those opponents and they were at her level, I would have never lasted. If I activated Demonic Awakening maybe I could last in a fist fight with this person to reduce the damage, but the only reason I coached her into taking it to swinging her sword is because of the extent of the damages from her punches on me. I never knew monk skills like that existed in this world.
Too bad for them they didn't know but this terrain was to my advantage. To a person who can travel to whatever point they want at will this battle ground was to my advantage the moment we got here. I only wanted to use spatial magic and my raw strength to show them I was stronger. If I used a weapon that may have looked in favor of the weapon. If it was any other location maybe they would have had the advantage. If I didn't have spatial magic I might have gotten to see just how strong that wolf or bird man really were. Though I may have a way of gaining an upper hand on this girl.
Thinking of this I smile while thinking of an interesting idea.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing....Simply enjoying this fight is all.....Your sword skills are phenomenal...Though.....I'm much more impressed with your hand to hand combat."
"Yes...I was once fought as a member of the Reiki race and alongside my father....I chose another path. A path of the sword to take on those beasts.....And you think you can help us with such things as you laugh during all of this....is it because I'm female what is it?!"
"No you misunderstand. I was simply smiling because I was impressed is all. I myself want to learn the way of the sword as well.....Perhaps you can train me some day...That is after all this."
"Ha....If....you beat me then I'll teach you how's that!"
After she stated this she gave me a feint and lowered her body in an instant her image changed with a green light surrounding her and her body shot forth like a dart towards me with one sword pointed towards my face.
I activated lightning step but it felt like her speed had changed somehow and as I swung down at her image that should have been slowed down began to squirm and avoid my claws and go straight toward my shoulder.
PING!
The sound of the sword crossing over my skin and scraping against the top of my bone rattles the sword and sends shivers down my spine.
She somehow increased her speed and matched my own and got her sword into my left shoulder. I'm bleeding though I only lost 4000 health from that. I guess those durable bones came in handy.
Looking up I can see the Reiki girl tilting her head looking up at me and feel the gazes of everyone else as well.
"Yo...You?.."
"I'm complicated."
I knocked the sword out of her hand then stomped my foot onto the stone pillar while activating lord's earth shattering smash with full power.
BOOOOM!
I feel the shockwave travel down the pillar and the smoke rises as a loud bang fills the battle grounds.
Everything started to shake and crumble as all of the pillars had began to topple over crash into one another. It honestly felt like the whole dungeon floor began to shake.
"What?"
The Reiki woman began to jump away to escape the falling pillars to find a good vantage point and I too jumped onto another pillar several meters away.
She looked back at me as if contemplating on how to finish me off in this situation and draws her sword pointing it at me. She began to jump onto each pillar that was falling onto another and lunged over large gaping pitfalls that had since crashed into the practically bottomless pit below. No floor could be seen through the dense fog below but one could fathom it was a long drop. However, to this woman she is leaping over falling debris from the ceiling as well as the large pieces of stone that created this arena.
She looked as if she were to fall but would simply jump on a falling rock and run up it. She would then jump up parts of the wall and other stone pillars and was doing it so swiftly. She moved like no one I had ever seen before and it was a strength I had never seen in another person...'....She was stronger than me.'
I may have learned to fight well, acquired stronger skills in this world, and have magic that can distort space itself, but if I were honest with myself, I believe her to be much stronger than myself. I have to use all of these things just to fight her. And even with my incredible stats and abilities I don't know if I could do what she is doing right now. This is a different form of strength I'm not use to and I am in awe of this woman.
'She moves like gravity doesn't exist to her. She runs horizontal down falling rocks and jumps between pillars to advance forward even an inch. She swims through the air and moves so swiftly it's truly a beautiful spectacular scene I would never witness in my last life. Her white long hair flowed behind her in a fancy braid as she moved easily around the collapsing environment. She moved like no one I had ever seen before....'
BAM!
Another Rock crashed into the rock she had been running along and it jolted her forward causing her to misstep.
She was only a few pillars away from me and had jumped up to grab one of the only remaining pillars that stood still.
"Ah!..Mmmm!"
The Reiki girl struggled to pull herself up with her one hand but she was struggling.
Looking away from her I don't really give it much thought as I feel the fight has ended. Honestly it would be a shame if this person who was going to teach me how to fight with a sword were to die so soon. Especially if she is to help us take down Balor in the future we need more people as strong as her.
I appeared on the pillar she stood on and kneeled down. After smiling down at her and looked at the long drop below I offered her my hand and asked if she wanted a lift.
She had the same bright blue eyes as Malfius had and looked to be a very stunning beauty as I had originally thought. She does have this oddly alluring feeling about her though she also gives off the impression of someone one who is hard to please.
She doesn't smile back at me but does glance down at the long drop below....'...Ok she can't possibly be thinking of jumping can she?'
"What....is taking my hand that bad?"
".....Fine....I concede."
After picking her up and lifting her onto the pillar I activated spatial magic and escaped the collapsing arena that has now been turned into an empty pit. All of the pillars have crashed and broken including the one me and the Reiki girl were just standing on.
The looks on everyone's face was priceless. No one said anything though I didn't get the best of looks from some of the Eis Nekos or the Annunake race. Though many of the Adler race were glaring at me I noticed that the Pixies in attendance and the a couple of the Arachnee were laughing quite historically. Apparently they thought the whole display was hilarious.
Though no one else really said anything I told Malfius I needed to leave now but as we walked to the floor elevator we discussed all of the things and terms I needed them to follow if we were going to work together....I hoped that this was a first meeting and maybe in the coming days we can communicate about what we are going to do from here on out.
Since this floor was barren and many of the demi humans were still talking amongst themselves Malfius and I continued our talk until we got back to floor 52. I and Hjokk then walked past the city gates and I activated spatial magic to appear outside of the dungeon. I'm starting to comprehend spatial magic a bit more now. Maybe soon I can learn to use it in more ways like Loki has...'...Honestly there are a lot of things I need to work on.'
Me and Hjokk continued to walk into the forest back to our cabin in the woods and the sun began to set. We got back earlier than yesterday as I didn't want to continue leaving mom at the house with people she didn't know for such extended periods of time. Though she has seemed to enjoy it, I feel that is wrong of me to put on her.
"....Weird day."
'Weird day...."
Hjokk commented about her thoughts on the day and I agreed.
"Well.....I think that went well."
"You too huh....Yah I honestly didn't see my day going this way when I woke up this morning."
Honestly it did start weird. I woke up and had strangers in my house who turned out to be a princess from one of the countries whose duel I interrupted the other day. Then had to sick Fenrir on a large number of individuals from the Aldain Kingdom which I have decided is my enemy. Afterwards I went to a dungeon created by Balor that I thought to only have two races exist inside of it had actually 7 different races of demi human living there. They lived in some weird social structure between races and were originally to have 10 races though due to tragedy and apparently some deceit, they have lost quite a bit over the years. They're histories are much more deep than I originally thought yesterday after meeting this demi humans. I'm hoping I can trust them for the future.
".....Are you planning on trying to save everyone in that dungeon Vali? "
"No....though it would help if more people were saved."
"I just don't want you to simply risk your life away on every passing stranger you meet with a problem. This is a Fallen God Vali.....He is going to be much stronger than Malthiel and.....Though Loki also wants us to explore into this matter as well, I don't fully agree with it."
Hjokk began to show her concern but didn't look at me as she spoke. She seemed hard pressed to find the words to guide me down the right path. She always tried to let me learn at a distance before but now she would sometimes try to give me her own opinion as well now.
"I know that.....But for what I have planned in the future, I may need the people in this dungeon. The more the merrier honestly. This plan of mine is complicated but if I can pull it off correctly we might all be able to benefit from one another in all of this."
It was true. I had been thinking about this plan for a few days now and more pieces continue to come together. Though it's complicated if it all works out the rewards will be just what I'm looking for.
"Don't worry. We're not fighting any fallen god or going to war with any kingdom just yet. I'm just gaining information for now."
"Well....the coming days will sure to be interesting."
As we continued back to the cabin we continued to talk more and even though Hjokk showed to have some concern over this dungeon she eventually gave up. We then discussed what we thought everyone was doing back at the cabin as we were walking back. She was right, there were a lot of things to do in the coming weeks if my plans are to succeed here, I have a meeting in a few days with the King of Asher....I'll know more then.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ari's POV
'Life sure has been good to me lately. '
"Oh good job! Ari...Your doing it!"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Vali....That's the name of the masked man who saved me.
It feels like....I'm finally experiencing life. Though maybe all this has just been a dream. I remember I use to have dreams of flying, or running through a forest only to wake up later. Maybe I really am just stuck back in that...
'No....all the experiences I've had the warmth I've felt. I remember....I remember being cold. This is real.'
For the first time since my legs stopped working I was taking my first steps and Elyria was cheering me on. She would do this with me everyday actually...'She's also been so amazing.'
No one ever really payed attention to me like this before. Even him...He always seemed so interested in the things I have to say and would always hold me so close to him.....'...Mm...Vali's honestly like a good dream.'
He would even feed me the first few days we met....He was always so gentle. It was the first time someone had treated me so.....important, and those delicious tastes uh....Surely I couldn't dream that up.
"Woh."
I lost my balance and fell over.
Woosh!
Something appeared right below me and hoisted me back up. It was Vali's pet wolf Fenrir. I gripped onto his soft fur with my hands to support myself.
"Thanks Fenrir"
He had such soft fur, he always let me pet him and I had never felt something so nice. I've felt honestly so many things these past few days. My face is even better again.
'I haven't even told him thank you yet.....I mean it happened so fast, and the way he reacted when he healed me was just. I don't even know how I could possibly pay him back either. He's a very kind human.'
"Hey how's everyone's day been?"
He's home....
I don't know why by my heart started racing back and forth and I tried to run to him. I wanted to greet him upon entering his home.
Bam!
I fell. I guess I can't quite run yet.
"Hey... I thought I told you not to exert yourself so much. Your body is going through a recovery period and....Oh well whatever"
As he picked him up he just smiled and stopped talking. I don't know why....oh....I think my tail is hitting him again. My tail does that a lot but I can't seem to control it. I forgot I even had one when I was in that.....You know it's strange, I remember that I came from a bad place, just...can't seem to remember what it all looked like.
Everything before that day Vali saved me and those other demi humans....is kind of a blur. It's like this is my real life and all that other stuff before was the bad dream. Though everything from my past is just, it's not that I've forgotten, just.....it's hard to remember.
I remember being in a cage. I must have been in there for a long time...but now I can't even seem to remember what it looked like for some reason. Like it was all just a nightmare, I can't seem to remember it all.
'It's just hard to remember anything from my past for some reason now. I use to get bad dreams sometimes too, even the first couple nights after I was saved. But...not really anymore. I feel bad that I lied to Vali that I was. I just wanted to wait up till he got home. I hope he doesn't get mad.....I'm sure I came from something bad, it's just hard to remember that place now.....There's just....so many new and exciting things to think about now.'
"Welcome home."
As I greeted and smiled up at him he brushed my head with his other hand and the warmth from his palm was transmitted to the top of my head. He has such a calming touch.
"Well Vali, You just missed it.....Ari took her first steps just a bit a go."
"What?!....I missed it....Hey look at you, your gonna be running in no time."
He seemed genuinely happy for me. I mean I believe he is. He's the man who saved my life and took me in when I was going to become food for monsters. Being a human has nothing to do with any of it.
Vali he's truly a good dream in a nightmare of a world. Looking up at him he's talking to Elyria about Noah. Earlier he was doing some strange exercises too hard with those odd stones on his arms and legs and was running and at some point passed out. Lily found him a few hours later and he's been asleep in bed ever since. Though Elyria did cook him some food and left it for him when he wakes up. It's fun getting to cook with Elyria or him. He seems to enjoy it to so, I enjoy it. Lilly seems to enjoy cooking and playing with Elyria also. Elyria's a great wizard! No...that's wrong she's a high...shama...
'Mmm....he always smells so good.'
I even picked up a skill since I've been with him in his home.
Scent Tracking
After always being so close with him and talking for so long in his arms. The scent of his scarf his mother made him around his neck and his own, after I learned to distinguish the two I somehow got a skill.
'But I somehow find his scent more pleasant....It's just so.....warm.'
He laughed after seeing Noah's state and his mother seemed to be a bit frustrated. They argued for a bit but I honestly feel like when he's here it's just me and him in the world. Elyria, Lily and Noah are great......I just always feel so swept away by this man.
He looked at me and commented on the pretty clothes that Elyria had made for me and talked with her for a bit. It was true Elyria made these clothes her self and are made from such a strange material. It's so stretchy but soft. I've never wore something so pretty before.
I just kept looking back up at him while he talked with Elyria.
'Mm...life has been good to me.'
