Chapter 16 - Miner's Cavern

Arcin stood in front of the dungeon entrance looking at it. The entrance was on the side of a mountain with a slightly large stone gate in front of her. The gate had runes she has never seen before but due to her ability [Omnilingualism] she was able to read the runes inscribed however understanding what they meant listed on the gate was another thing. '[Omnilingualism] it's defiantly a useful skill it's likely the only reason I am able to communicate in this world. Hmm, I wonder if this is a skill I've always had or one that I got after what Animus did to my body.' Arcin thought as she looked at the gate of the dungeon.

At the moment to Arcin there was nothing special about the gate she was just staring at a wall with a stone arch. "How do I activate the gate? Fulgur a little help?"

[Just walk towards it the gate should activate you get close with the SHI bracelet.]

"Thank you."

Arcin made her way closer to the gate and noticed that the runes begun to glow the same colour as the man that the SHI bracelet was emitting slightly. 'I think I get how it works not. There must be a special stone or ore in the bracelet that activates the runes.' She thought pondering, when the gate open there was the colour of different shades of purple and dark blue that were swirling together. "Yep that look real portal like. Sigh… even though I've been here for almost a week its still hard to believe this suddenly became my reality. Alright no use hanging around here lets head in Saisako." Arcin sighed as she pulled out the Staff of Animus.

Arcin held the staff in her hand and swung it around all little. "Alright this will work out nicely." She muttered before stepping inside the gate and being transported into the dungeon.

When the light clear she looked around to see a fairly large cave opening with crystals in the ceiling and wall that emitted lights she looked around in slight amazement. 'Wow I would never be able to see something like this on Terra. "Saisako you should get out of my hood we are in the dungeon. We came here more to train you after all." Arcin sighed shaking her hood slightly waking up the little fox she let out a slight bark out of annoyance for being woken up.

Jumping to the floor Saisako stretched out in front of Arcin before let out a slight bark too in front her that she was ready. The two then begun to make there way into the dungeon and it wasn't long until large moles appeared in front of them. The moles were about half the height of Arcin, making it almost 4 times the height of Saisako. Thought I called it a mole it didn't look that much like your typical garden mole. Though it had some of the features to make it look mole like you could also consider it as a monster hedgehog as the monster had spikes coming out of it. It had large very large claws that could clearly be used to brake rocks something to be wary of for sure.

Saisako looked back at Arcin in which she just responded with a slight nod. Getting the okay to fight the monster from her master she turned to look as the monster. Saisako begun to growl fangs showing, in a poster ready to pounce at a moments notice. Saisako then lunged at the large mole going for the throat and such.

Arcin was surprised she knew a thing or two about foxes and a few other mammal species back on Terra and Saisako didn't fight like a typical fox rather a mix of both a fox, wolf, and cat ways of fighting, but even then watching Saisako fight was different. It was unique but fairly effective.

Slashing one eye Saisako created a blind spot then jumped back Arcin could sense the mana that begun to surround Saisako and noticed that blue markings begun to appear on Saisako's fur she moved her tail then a blade of water off water shot out and hit the Molehog (yes that's its name). The water blade slashed the Molehogs neck and even cut a few spikes off its back.

[Molehog Lv. 8 HP 950/1,500]

That attack along took off 500 HP from the Molehog's health. 'Elemental weakness are defiantly important to remember since Saisako a Lv 5 beast managed to do that much damage to a monster 3 levels above her.' Arcin thought looking at the status as she sat down on a rock nearby in order to watch the fight and be able to jump in at a moments notice.

Saisako was fast making it difficult for the Molehog to hit her. Saisako begun to attack quickly moving around avoiding most of the monsters attacks. When she dodged the hit she would counter with either a physical attack or a magic attack with water blade. Saisako was slowly whittling away the Molehog's health she was making decent progress despite the level disparity.

Saisako jumped onto the back of the Molehog were she cut the spikes off and dug her claws into its back she bit down on the monster neck and slashing its one claws into the back. Blood begun to trailing down the Molehogs back from the numbers wounds that Saisako was making.

[Molehog Lv. 9 700/1,500]

'Siasako's STR is either fairly low or the Molehog's DEF is very high. Hmm I should actually look at Siasako's status now that I'm thinking it.' Arcin thoughts as she went to pull up Siasako's stats she had the feeling of something closing in on their location.

It was then that other monsters begun to show up with a group of four Molehogs that showed up. 'I should hold them off to give Saisako a better chance.' Arcin sighed hopping off the rock she was leaning against. She spun her staff in her hand and made her way over to the 4 Molehogs.
