Chapter 4 - The Dungeon

"Rex how much time until we reach the across which Liora" asked Reine, "About 30 minutes" replied Rex. Today was a great day and a Saturday as well! The weather was nice and our occasional breaks were also pretty fun!

If you didn't know me, Reine, Rex and Rako are on a journey to find Rex's sister Liora. it's been 2 days since we left and we're almost to our destination. Thankfully there was a town in our way so we stocked up on restoration items. I'm level 37, Reine's 39, Rex's 45 and Rako's is 42.

"What level should Liora be at?" i asked Rex, "She was 35 earlier because she used to fight a lot!" said Rex looking proud. Wow that means she might be a great warrior, "speaking of which Rex i met someone like her in a dream in my world" i said to Rex.

"Really?" said Rex, "yeah, i don't remember what that dream was about though." i replied, after hearing this Rex was lost in thought until we reached the entrance of the dungeon. "Here it is" said Rex, "the one thing separating me and Liora" he continued.

Rex looked frustrated, after all this has been the biggest obstacle in his life, "let's go" he said in a frustrated tone. After entering the dungeon i was surprised, this dungeon is so cold, dark and depressing. There were weak mobs everywhere, it was getting annoying, this is not the epic adventure i pictured this to be.

Rex looked very frustrated and angry throughout the entire dungeon until we reached the mini-bosses room. "Is this the boss room?" asked Reine, "No" replied Rako. Then suddenly a giant shadow figure appeared and a health bar with the word "Shadow The Third" appeared.

What a weird boss name, shadow the third, anyways that's not important we have to kill it quickly to get to the boss. "Y'all know the plan" said Rex, "yes!" all three of us shouted, then Rex said "you can't stop me from getting my Liora anymore."

At his signal we got into formation, Reine and Rako attacking using electrified and lighted ice shards, and me n' Rex attacking him head on. The boss used a shadow sword to we both parried him by using our sword and gave openings for those two to attack.

"This is getting boring let me finish this" i said, Rex parried his attack and gave me an opening then i sprinted and jumped towards him and shouted "[Power-Up: Burst Slash]". I launched a barrage of attacks and then the mini-boss died.

"That was easy, how much harder is the real boss?" i asked Rex, "much harder" replied Rex. So that's why Rex and Rako were unable to take it out! Anyways we advanced with the occasional mobs getting in our, this time there were less and the few were much more powerful.

After a while we finally reached the boss room and Rex looked longingly at it in anger. finally we entered it and. "Get ready this is the final battle!!!!" shouted Rex, this was his last fight before reuniting with Liora! probably. A demon-esque figure its name was [The Dark Lord].

we got into the same formation as last time, this'll be a breeze. Then the dark lord attacked me with his blade and i tried to parry it but the blow was so powerful i couldn't parry it. I understand what Rex meant if i can't parry it there will be no openings and if there are no openings Reine and Rako won't be able to damage it!

"This is just ridiculous!" i complained, "less talk, more action" commanded Rex, this was right this boss isn't some joke. Finally i regained my balance and attacked the boss, "[Skill:Dragon Burst Ultra]"

the black flame dragon appeared and started attacking him. i defeated Rex in one shot with this move it should finish him.

The flame dragon attacked him and the boss parried giving Reine and Rako many openings and letting us slice him. Eventually the dragon hit him squarely in the chest and there was an explosion.

If this doesn't finish him i don't know what will, as the smoke cleared we saw that the boss was still alive.

"What the fuck!" cried Rako, how can this happen? is he immortal? How? Why? "Don't lose hope guys!" shouted Rex, he's right if we lose hope we're sure to die. OK let's get this guy!

To parry his attacks we had to use power up skills.

"This is just ridiculous he's going through our magic points like butter!" i cried, Rex looked extremely angry as if he could burn the world with his anger. "i'll fucking kill you" he shouted. Rex cares so much for his sister and this an obstacle to him.

"You're so weak boss!" shouted Rex, what is he blabbering about we're losing to him how is he weak? "You can just go die" shouted Rex, he's gone insane. Then Rex attacked him and broke his sword, after that he chopped off his limbs and finally, "[Darkness-skill:Destruction Meteor]" he screamed as he laughed maniacally. The skill activated and the boss died immediately.

"W-What just happened?" asked Rako in a surprised voice, this is ridiculous how did Rex gain so much power. "Rex are you okay" asked Reine in a frightened voice, "yeah i'm okay" replied Rex.

With this in mind we left the dungeon and entered a weird castle thing, it looked like a castle but was much much smaller.

eventually we forced ourselves in and there was an ugly looking man, "huh, intruders! guards stop them!", there were many guards but. "Shut up, let me see my Liora already" said Rex in an unsettling

cold voice, "no, not my beautiful Liora!", Rex immediately killed him.

We went into the chambers and Rex ordered us to search, after some time i found a girl who looked like Rex's description of Liora. "Are you Liora?" i asked the girl, "what does he want with me now?" replied the girl in a sad voice.

Wow she's been tortured pretty badly i see, i quickly smashed open the cell door and freed her from her restraints. "Why are you doing this for me?" she asked me, Liora is way more beautiful than Rex told me i've never seen a girl even come close to her in beauty, she has long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes.

I saw Rex and shouted to him "she's here Rex!", "REX!" shouted Liora in joy, "sister" said Rex breaking down in tears.
