[POV Reo]
It took us only half an hour to arrive at the entrance of the 5th floor. I know we could have rushed but I told Ororo to kill everything. Ororo's basic stats were slowly increasing. Her growth rate was way faster than the average adventurers of this world.
We finally descended the stairs and the lights changed from blue to green. "I don't think that we are going to see new types of monsters on this floor" Ororo mused and I nodded my head while rubbing my chin.
"No, we aren't" I said as Ororo started to slay goblins and kobolds with a lightning sword in one of her hands while in the other she had a lightning whip.
The lightning whip was the primary weapon but since we had to pass through narrow corridors too, she decided to make a sword in case a monster is able to get close to her.
We finally finished clearing the 7th floor too, though we were yet to meet any other adventurers though. Even though these three floors were filled with goblins and kobolds, these monsters were a lot stronger than the goblins from the 1st-4th floors.
We also got a couple of new types of monsters… Frog Shooter (A frog monster), War Shadow (A dark humanoid monster), Killer Ants (A red ant monster), Purple Moths, Needle Rabbit (A rabbit monster with a horn), Blue Pappilio (A butterfly monster). Though there were only a few instances when these monsters made an appearance. Goblins and Kobolds were the common monsters.
I waved my hand and Ororo's stats appeared in front of me. Hmm… She is progressing quite well. Her Agility and Magic finally reached the H rank while the rest of her basic stats were still in I. Even the 8th and 9th floors were filled with goblins and kobolds but they were stronger than their predecessors.
The 8th and 9th floors were much wider and bigger than the previous floors. There was a thin line of grass under our feet while the walls were covered by moss. Unlike the previous floors, these two floors were lit by phosphorus, it was almost like sunlight.
"The kobolds are much faster here" Ororo muttered as she beheaded a kobold with her sword. The kobold was able to dodge her whip due to the narrow corridor and reach her. Ororo wasn't able to swing her whip perfectly due to the narrow path.
Once again there were a few instances when monsters like Frog Shooter, War Shadow, Killer Ants, Purple Moths, Needle Rabbit, Blue Pappilio made their appearances but they weren't common.
"If you haven't noticed the goblins are stronger too" I said dryly and Ororo simply shrugged.
"I haven't noticed…" Ororo shrugged in a dismissive manner as she continued killing the monsters. Of course, you won't notice as you kill them as soon as they appear.
I decided to take another look at her basic stats and her Magic has reached G while all of her other stats were H ranked, even her Agility was still H ranked.
Looks like her lightning powers are being considered as Magic in this World. That must be why it is progressing so quickly… She has been constantly using her lightning powers to kill the monsters.
We finally descended to the 10th floor and met the first group of adventurers. We only received odd looks from them but both of us simply ignored them. As we ventured deeper into the floor, we quickly noticed that the mist was getting thicker but Ororo wasn't bothered because of her sharp senses.
Finally, new monsters started to appear on this floor. Orcs, giant bipedal pigs and they smelled revolting. I could never look at pork the same… "I am gonna avoid pork for some time…" Ororo grumbled as she killed the group of Orcs. Looks like I wasn't the only one who was disturbed by the revolting smell.
"You have my full support" I said and choked due to the disgusting smell. I am the strongest being in the whole Omniverse and here I am being defeated by Orcs. I mean what the fuck?!! I really wanted to erase Orcs from the Omniverse.
Thankfully, we only found Orcs on the 10th floor. I simply used my Space Powers and dematerialized. Ororo shot an annoyed glare in my direction or where I was before dematerializing. It was never mentioned in the canon that the Orcs smelled so disgusting… oh… It's only in this particular Universe. I should have checked before coming to this Universe.
I simply chose a random Danmachi Reality for Ororo. Oh well, it's not a big deal. We finally descended to the 11th floor and both Ororo and I released a relieved sigh. "That wasn't nice, you know" Ororo said and gave me the stink eye for abandoning her. I chuckled sheepishly as I rubbed the back of my head.
Moments later, I was finally able to gather back my bearings so that I could make an excuse. "It was instinctual…" I said with a straight face. I would have hugged her to sate her anger but she wasn't smelling that good at this moment.
"Yeah sure…" Ororo said dryly and I Scourgified her to get rid of the smell and I immediately pulled her into a hug. "Yes yes, My anger is sated, for now. Can we continue?" Ororo asked in an amused tone and I nodded my head.
Thankfully the 11th floor didn't have any Orcs, I used my powers and a smug grin appeared on my face as I noticed that there were no more Orcs after the 10th floor. Another thing I should have checked sooner. Looks like my head is still muddled because of that near death experience.
The 11th floor was filled with monsters like Imps (A small demon monster), Bad Bats (A dark bat monster with sharp fangs), Silverbacks (A large monkey monster), and Armoreds (An armadillo monster).
None of these monsters except the Armoreds gave Ororo a problem. The Armoreds's armours were really strong.
We finally descended on the 12th floor and the mist on this floor was way thicker than the previous floors. I sensed two more groups on this floor but they weren't anywhere near us so it wouldn't be a problem, they were probably near the entrance of the 13th floor.
Ororo made quick work of all the monsters on the floor as we kept looking around. All of a sudden Ororo jumped back and a very rare monster landed where Ororo was previously standing.
I noticed this monster since we had entered the 11th floor. The monster squeaked towards Ororo, she immediately activated her lightning armour. Her instincts were quite good. Well, I would have been very disappointed otherwise. All that training and hard work would have gone down the drain.
The monster expanded its wings and launched fireballs in Ororo's direction. The Infant Dragon is a level 2 monster which is rarely seen on the 11th floor or the 12th floor.
Ororo's whips landed on the Infant Dragon's scales and it wailed in pain. The monster might be strong but Ororo was way stronger as she had killed a black monster on her own.
It took Ororo only half a minute to slay the monster. "That was the 2nd strongest monster that I have faced in this Dungeon" Ororo said as she deactivated her lightning armour.
"Don't worry, this is just the 12th floor. There are a lot of stronger monsters in this Dungeon" I said and Ororo nodded her head in agreement.
"That's good then" Ororo mused and both of us started to head towards the 13th floor. Ororo has also gained some battle junkie traits but unlike Rumi or Hela, her traits were very mild and subtle. It was a minute side-effect of training with Rumi and me for so long.
Most of the time Ororo would try to avoid a fight but if a fight breaks out then she won't back down, even her battle junkie traits would start to show up.
We finally arrived on the 13th floor or the middle floors of the Dungeon, this part of the Dungeon was also known as the Cave Labyrinth. While she was slaying monsters I have been constantly updating her stats.
I decided to check Ororo's stats, her Magic was nearly E rank while all of her other stats except her Agility were peak G rank. Her Agility was F rank.
"Can you feel if you are getting stronger or not?" I asked. Ororo seemed to ponder for a few seconds and then she nodded her head with a grin on her face.
"Yes… My lightning powers and my Agility have increased. I can also feel improvements in other departments too but those two are the most noticeable" Ororo said with a thoughtful look on her face.
The two of us finally descended to the 14th floor. Both the 13th and 14th floors only consisted of tunnels and this part of the Dungeon is called Cave Labyrinth so the 15th, 16th and 17th floors must be the same.
Ororo faced various types of monsters like the Wyverns (A pink dragon wyvern), Crystal Mantiss, Lamia Mormoses (A small version of Lamia), Hellhounds (Dogs with fire breathing ability), Almirajes (A rabbit monster), Minotaurs, Lygerfangs (A tiger monster)...
These monsters were way stronger and faster than the monsters we have seen on the upper floors.
Even though the monsters were stronger, Ororo didn't have too much trouble with them. As soon as she started having trouble she would activate her lightning armour and it won't be a problem for her any longer.
Like this, the two of us finally arrived on the 17th floor. We also met the two groups on our way down here and they simply gawked when they saw Ororo slaughtering the monsters. As soon as we arrived on the 17th floor, the two of us were attacked by Goliath (The monster Rex of the 17th floor).
The Goliath was a level 4 monster. This was surprisingly a weak monster even though it was a level 4 monster, the Goliath's base stats must have been very low. Or Ororo was simply too strong.
It only took Ororo a few minutes to bring down the 7 meters tall monster. None of the other monsters posed any threats to Ororo so it took us a few minutes more to reach the 18th floor, the Rivira.
"Ororo, let's take a break here" I said and Ororo gave me a confused look. I immediately understood what she meant to say.
"Don't worry, monsters don't spawn on this floor" I said casually and Ororo nodded her head in understanding...
