After the rather terrifying encounter with the Crystal-Tooth Tiger, Bora decided to explore the dungeon while keeping an eye out for any threats. He had a little bit of experience when it came to fighting so he was confident in his own survival, as long as he didn't meet anything that could use magic.
' Master I think you should start searching for loot. Giving the fact that you haven't encountered any monsters I think that we are in a bonus room right now. Bonus rooms are usually devoid of any dangers and are just there to reward the conquerors, though it is weird that this room is at the beginning of the dungeon and not near the end. Anyway it seems that your legendary luck as decided to show up once again.´ Said Aria. Bora's eyes lit up when he heard the word bonus, and he stopped being cautious in an instant. Instead he started to search for anything shiny and soon found something.
« The hell is that even supposed to be ? » Asked Bora as he glanced at the Golden Flute that laid at his feet.
' Master...Is your luck even legal ?! The first loot you found is one of the rarest ! Not the most powerful one, but it is incredibly rare and most people would kill to get it. Which is quite normal given what it can do. This thing is a summoning flute, and it seems to be at quite a high tier too. Since it's made out of gold, I would say it's around Tier 5, but i'm not sure. Then again a summon would really help you no matter the tier. Take it and look for the race of the creature you can summon with it, it should be written somewhere in it.' Said Aria. Bora started to drool as he listened to what Aria said, he really wanted to thank his parents for his luck at this moment.
« Hmmm it says Djinn, or is it Djounn ? I don't know what it is, any idea ? » Said Bora as he looked at the words that were carved on the flute. For some reasons, even though he never saw that language in his whole life, he could understand what was written.
' Djinn, huh ? Quite good but not really useful for you. They are basically brutes with high physical abilities and resistance, but that's pretty much it. As soon as you start to fight against ennemies of an equal tier that uses magic it will become useless. But it can be used as a trustworthy companion. Especially since summons, real ones and not those you can get via a spell, a extremely rare. You could even let it live with you, Djinns are not considered as monsters. ' Said Aria. Bora was a bit disappointed, but he quickly remembered that it was still a lot stronger than him.
Without asking Aria what he had to do, Bora started to use the flute, and the words carved on it began to shine brightly. A golden cloud suddenly shot out the flute and began to take the form of an humanoid being. Though it was a big humanoid, being approximatively 1,80 meters tall, which was just a bit smaller than Bora.
« ......Woah. » Said Bora, his jaw dropping when the cloud fully changed into a Djinn. And now, A female Djinn stood in front of Bora. Grey skin, piercing blue eyes, short black hair, a pair of antlers on her head.....She was a deadly beauty. She wore a simple iron chesplate, two golden gauntlets, a pair of leather boots and a red skirt. The Djinn looked around before spotting him and bowing.
« I'm Katarea, a pleasure to meet you. » She simply said, which stunned Bora. From what he heard while he was trapped in the statue, Djinns were similar to Demons, both in powers and appearences. He thought they would be the same when it came to personnality. Then again there did exist some polite and friendly demons, so it wasn't all that weird.
« I'm Bora, a pleasure to... » Bora couldn't end his sentence because Katarea's eyes widened, and in a flash she was kneeling on the ground.
« I'm sorry for not recognising you my lord. I did have some doubts since I sensed your divine energy, but your appearence seemed different. Hearing your new name does confirm my doubts. » Said the Djinn, while Bora didn't have a single of what was going on.
´ Sorry it's kinda my fault. I forgot to explain a lot of things to you master. For now just play along, tell her that you forgive her but that as a punishment she will have to fight alone in the dungeon and protect you.' Said Aria.
' Okay.....´
« Hm Hmmm, I forgive you but you shall be punished. You will conquer this dungeon for me and you will do it while protecting me, I won't lift a single finger to help you. » Said Bora. He breathed a sigh of relief when Katarea nodded and started to walk towards the second room.
´ Very good improvisation Master, you are a natural.' Praised Aria.
´ Yeah, yeah whatever.....You better start explaining things after we conquer this dungeon.' Said Bora in his head, as Katarea continued to walk while taking small glances at him.
After walking for a short while, they both arrived in front of a massive iron door. Bora didn't even had to enter the room to know that it was filled with monsters, he could see a black mist escaping the door, and it spelled trouble to him.
« My lord you should stay in the back. In this new form you won't be able to survive without having to use your energy and that would be a waste. I think it's better if I deal with all the monsters while you wait for me. I'll retrieve the loot for you. » Said Katarea, looking at him hopeful eyes.
' Well I do think we should do that, thank you for noticing that I'm weak Katarea.'
