The moment he left I didn't even look back, I just left and continued walking with Puru and his clones around me. I continued the path and exited the hall and entered the black gate…
the moment I opened it a strong concentration of mana went out of the gate almost suffocating me, and it was just halfway through the floor I'm in and it's already this pressuring. I continued to my path and past the black gate is nothing but an open space that seemed to be swallowing the light that was placed inside it…
It was impossible to see. Plus Zal-sama didn't even teach me how to use my vampiric skills.
As I walk deep into the open space the gate immediately shut and there was no indicator on how far I was in this place… I ran in a straight path looking around in case I missed something on the way….
I've been running for some time now and still haven't seen anything, no trees, no walls, heck even the floor's covered in darkness
it's almost enough to make me go insane if it weren't for Puru's light, it keeps me in check whether I'm in some illusion or in reality…
"Puru!!!" Puru said in a worried tone "We'll get out of here"
I used my God eyes skills and looked around… but something's blocking it from being activated
[NOTICE!}
[The floor guardian's blocking all your ocular based skills]
[The floor's guardian has greater level than the user]
[WARNING!!!}
[The floor guardian will now summon the user]
Then in that moment I saw my footing glow in a faint red light
the light became too bright, I covered my eyes with my arms again
and when I looked around I was in a room that looked like an interior of a log cabin, I peered out the windows but they were just complete darkness.
when I turned around there was a table in the center of the room, and a woman with black hair and green eyes glanced at me
"I didn't expect someone of such a young age would be able to clear this floor… what is your name young one?"
I glanced at her with my red crimson eyes, I pinched my lips and my suspicious look at her didn't disappeared "Yggdris Argent du Eclipse…"
She rubbed her chin "Eclipse? Are you perhaps a demon?" she tilted her head as she asked the question
I nodded while maintaining eye contact at her "Arch va-" she interrupted midway of my sentence
she stood and walked towards me, her white flowy dress being dragged around her. She has an odd but endearing charm to her. She then asked me interrogatively "What is a demon like you doing in my floor? No, rather my dungeon?!" she said while staring down at me
I shook my head "I was only dragged here so I can clear this place"
She laughed "You? Clear this place?" she laughed at me mockingly "Oh boy, only a fool doesn't know when to stop… but you're no fool…"
My brows narrowed at her "What does that mean"
"You are just fodder for the strong to trample on" she said with a curled smile on her face… before walking outside the room…
I was left in the room alone…
I looked around when I realized. "Puru?" I looked around the room searching for him, I turned around and the door she walked through was open, and it was just a white emptiness…
I walked inside the white room and there I saw "Ji-ah?" the girl turned around that seems to be in a white gown and a white floating shoal that was wrapped around all over her. She cocked her head as she closed her eyes with a smile on her face "I found Mr. Akirayama!"
I felt the wind brush against my hair, I looked at her with wide eyes and a confused feeling within me.
"I-i... how am I back here?! Did I die?!" I looked at her with fear in my expression, my eyes started watering. She chuckled "No silly… this is like… a dungeon's connection with the divinity… it's more or less similar to summoning but… different"
I sighed "Why am I here?" she chuckled "I'm here to warn you… never judge anything by how they look, especially in this world!"
I blinked and I was back in the log cabin, the green-eyed woman standing by the opened door as she looks down on me "I wish you the best of luck" she said with a stoic voice
the door opened to reveal another black gate
"That's the gate to the floor boss… I'm only but a humble overseer"
I looked at her still suspiciously "You won't fight me?" I asked her with my narrowed eyes glaring at her
Her still looking down at me shook her head "Just guess what floor I'll reappear on"
I shrugged it off annoyedly, I opened the gate and a huge wave of light rained down upon me, when my eyes fully adjusted I saw myself in a large hall, larger than the one where i fought off the skeleton, and at the center, there was a huge bird cage that was big enough for at least 10 people to fit in, and on top of that the walls were carved off of white shiny stones and the ceiling is made out of some blue material that seems to glow and at the center where the cage was hanging from is a big circular yellow colored gem that gave off light as bright as the sun's
I walked in and Puru went in front of me "PURU!!!" and that noise made me realize that something was wrong
the ground area has boulders and all kinds of rocks scattered across the boss room, I hid behind one and stood still
footsteps, there were other footsteps than mine, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the boss' since it's still at the cage
and there I heard a female's voice, sounds like it's not older than me.
She was talking to someone… an older girl?
assuming they're human.
I used illusion magic to change my appearance to a normal looking human
my hair's the same length but have the jet black color and my eyes turned into an orangish hue
as for my clothes, I didn't bother changing it since it's normal even in the Human's kingdoms. A regular red robe and a light brown shirt underneath, with a black pair of shorts and black shoes.
I peeked from the boulder and an arrow immediately bounced off the boulder near my spot "Whoa!" I accidentally screamed, I stumbled back and fell on myself.
I looked up and a pretty looking girl with blonde hair and ocean blue eyes not older than me offered me a hand "Are you okay? I thought you were a monster." She said with an awkward smile on her face, maintaining eye contact with mine
I grab her hand and stood up "Ara~ Lady Aki found her true love! What a pretty development to behold!" she said with an overjoyed face her eyes not opening whatsoever. The older woman is wearing a purple gown and a huge witch's hat,
while the blonde girl's also wearing an adventurer's clothes but has more armor on her
"I'm Akina by the way!" she said with a bright smile on her face
she's pretty for someone the same age as me "I'm Reinn! Nice to meet ya!"
"Likewise… and this tall onee-san's name is Lorana! She's part elf!" the tall woman bowed her head "Where did you come from little boy?��� she asked me with a finger over her mouth.
I was caught off guard from her question since they've been so welcoming "We-"
and at that moment, a loud scream of a giant bird like creature filled the room
Akina grabbed the air like a sword and in an instant a sword made out of light appeared
Lorana raised one of her hands and fireballs appeared behind her "Little boy, If you won't participate just hide behind the rocks" she said with a concerned look at her face
but that just annoyed me even further,
I summoned a flaming sword on my hand and stood beside them
Akina smiled with full determination. The three of us standing atop a rock, the winged humanoid giant flew at us with spirits behind it
Lorana shot out countless fireballs purging the spirits, and then the winged humanoid figure screamed again
"Akina! Slice up the harpy!"
that's a harpy?! I stood beside Akina, we both leapt through the air and spun through the air evading the Harpy's wings as we slice through it. The beast screamed in pain as it crashed onto the ground
the smokescreen made it impossible to see anything, but in the smokescreen a bright orange light lit up and the harpy's wing that we chopped off turned into dust immediately
we landed onto the ground and Akina excitedly jumped around "YEAH!!!"
Lorana appeared behind Akina in the blink of an eye "Well that was a splendid subjugation ain't it?"
Akina and Lorana talking to each other with a bright air to them
but Lorana walked towards me "Reinn… how do you spell that?" she asked
I kept being caught off guard by her questions "R e i n n"
she nodded and smiled, her eyes closed shut but still showing emotions "Let's get going shall we? Will you join us or part ways Reinn-Kun?"
I smiled "Sure, I'll join"
we entered the next dungeon together as a team���
[E/N: Stop mistaking Zal and Zel. If you do this again there will be consequences…..
