Chapter 27 - First Dungeon Cleared

The moment the health bar hit zero the body of the hydra exploded into a dark coloured mist before shooting towards Arcin surrounding her and entering into her body. When the mist entered her body she felt a sickening but strong energy course through it. She felt a torrent of energy inside her. The dark energy was suppressed but the power remained Arcin looked at her hand clenching and opening it.

Arcin then opened her inventory and notice the large amount of supplies that she got in her inventory from the hydra It was all high grade stuff as she was going over that there was another thing that went off.

"'Hmm though my chance of levelling up is low my stat increase per level isn't too bad.'" Arcin thought as she compared it to her knowledge of video game RPGs. As she begun to think of it more a large chest appeared on the 'altar' which the Hydra was guarding.

Arcin walked over to it and pushed open the chest and and looked inside to find 5 items. Arcin looked over them and with the TGG it told her was the items were. It was a wide array but they all seemed to be useful for them. There was 2 stones inside called lucky skill stones, 2 earrings of protection, and finally a set of blades.

[Blades of ???]

Arcin was surprised she had yet to encounter something that the TGG didn't fully identify. There wasn't even a description for it either, however Arcin had a feeling it was a gift from another higher being. She turned her attention back to the other items to read their descriptions.

[Lucky Skill Stone: This with grant the user an ability they greatly need]

[Earrings of Protection: Wearing this earring will grant the wearer protection from attacks and ailments.]

Arcin grabbed the earrings and put one in the cusp of her ear making that hoop like an ear cuff, then bent down next to Saisako and put the earring through her ear making the hole in the process. Arcin place one skill stone next to Saisako and crushed the other in her hand.

[Elemental Shift Learn - You are now capable of shifting your threw elements with ease casting it as if its your base element]

[Saisako learned Beast Skill - Can use a wide arrange of beast skills, similar to weapon skills they cost SP; Saisako's SP 500/500.]

Looking at this Arcin was sure that this chest had something to do with some higher being though not entirely sure what one but there was something going on. Arcin then reached into the chest and grabbed the blades attaching them to her legs. She fixed her cloak and turned around walking down from the alter as a hidden door opened.

The pair walking into the door to find a large statue of an unknot higher being with large wings and and a hood. You could neither tell what the higher being was but they looked divine on the ground there was a teleportation formation Arcin and Saisako stepped onto it and in the next moment there were outside the dungeon.

Arcin final felt her injuries the moment the adrenaline wore off. She gritted her teeth to ignore the pain. She removed the blades on the end of the staff that reappeared in her hand and begun to us it as a walking stick helping her walk back to town Saisako fought of any beast that tried to fight them. Even despite the difference of time in the dungeon Arcin was moving fairly slowly which forced them to stop for the night outside.

Since its was late Arcin gather fire wood and Saisako lit it on fire. "Saisako I need some water." Arcin said and Saisako just drenched her in water. Arcin let out a sigh before working on tending to her wounds. She was a little surprised at the rate of healing as it was faster than what she was used to but she just continued to work on the injuries chalking it up to another thing Animus granted her when she was brought to this world.

Arcin wrapped bandages around her legs, abdomen and any where else she had sustained injuries. She let out a sigh and flopped backwards hitting the ground a little hard looking up at the sky. The stars above her head were not familiar though very pretty she closed her eyes thinking of her father.

"'If dad was alive he would love this. He loved the stars, when I was younger he would take me to the roof of the estate and look at the starts. He'd point out constellations and planets, his eyes shined when talking about these things.'" Arcin thought she got up and went hunting. She killed a beast and begun to cooking it for dinner and took out a sleeping bag and pillow from her SHI unit and after having dinner when to bed with Saisako in her arms.

~It was dark and cold as she looked around she. Metal bars were in front of her. She reached out and grabbed on to the bars with her small hands. She tried to break them but that didn't work. She looked around and notice that she was smaller too. She begun to try and squeeze through the bars to escape.

"Rina… Rina come over here." A light women's voice spoke from behind her. She spun around and in the darkness she could just barely make out the figure of a women. No longer in control of herself her body raced over to the women and buried herself into the women chest with a wet face.

"Mommy… Daddy's going to save us from the bad men right."

"… I'm not sure sweetie. But I'll protect you no matter what my dear."

The women's hand who was apparently her mother soothed the young crying child but that moment didn't last long as their was the sound of the creaking door and clanging metal.

"Shut that darn child up!" the man growled who stormed over to them. "You should be grateful we haven't killed you yet. After all _________ wants you dead. But they will never know if we keep you here and use you how we like and that child as well. Hahahah out lovely." the man laughed. When she didn't stop crying he tore the girl out of the mothers arm and into the metal bars. Her mother glared at the man with daggers and tired to jump him but was stopped by chains which where binding her.

"Hahah don't glare at me like that women. Useless you plan to turn me on. A pretty thing looking at me with such a fierce gaze." the man laughed. She then got up and changed at the man biting his leg but he just kicked her aside. "Hahah. I love fierce women." the man purred.

He slammed the cell door closed and walked towards the women grabbed her face. "I'll be having my way with you." he laughed as he brought his hand under the women shirt. The women tried fighting back but it was no use. The sound of the women screams and cries begun to resound and she watched in pain with tears in her eyes as the man begun to have his way with the women.~

Arcin sat up her entire body drenched in sweat she put her hand on her face. She couldn't remember the dream she just had. But she was sure it was defiantly a nightmare.
