[Wheew! I thought this one will be a Code Blue.] Giann said while feeling like a heavy burden on his shoulders have been relieved.
If this dungeon was a color blue they would have no chance on clearing this.
In the world where Giann lives his second life and to the world where gamers of Earth go to. Dungeons were identified on the color on their entrance.
It was divided from lowest difficulty to highest, starting from yellow, blue, orange, black,light red, dark red, and violet.
*Author: If you're gonna say it sounds familiar. Well you're correct about that and I give credits to the manwha I based it from. By the way I will announce them as Code Blue, Code Yellow, etc. So that it will be easier for me to insert intstead of Color Yellow and such.
Like the level of Tier applied on people, dungeons also have seven stages of levels.
Code Violet were highly dangerous dungeons that even the Divine Demon would take a moment to think whether entering that hell.
If you think that's scary well it's not compared to the Chameleon Dungeons.
Basically, Chameleon Dungeons were very tricky dungeons that change their level when a person enters them.
Giann heard this from his parents, he learned through them that a famous skilled Tier 5 Sword King entered a Code Light Red dungeon. As soon as he went inside the color of the dungeon changed into a violet one. When everyone heard this they were scared out of their wits. What about the Tier 5 Sword King? God knows what happened to that poor soul.
Remembering that made Giann chills but thankfully this place is a low leveled area.
After Giann and the rest finished preparing their materials for their raid they entered the dungeon.
As soon as the last person entered, who was coincidentally Giann. The yellow color started to fade away and it was replaced by a blue color.
What a twist of events! Is this a lucky chance or a mournful event?
Somewhere where Giann was very familiar.
"HAHAHA! Who knew this human boy draws trouble and fortune around him! What a very amusing and interesting trait." Amused Abyss was laughing and was very intrigued by this Giann's luck.
After Giann and the rest went into the portal they found themselves in a dark cave.
"Zhalene please illuminate the area." Raven said.
"Ye-yes." Blazing Zhalene slowly chanted a verse, and a ball of light popped up on her staff and illuminated the area.
"Now everyone, onward!" Raven commanded.
"Yes Sir!" the 4 members of Raven's group said in unison.
As they moved forward the pathway of the cave, Dean Zi went ahead for scouting followed by the rest of the group.
"Now that I think of it, may we know how should we address you?" Raven asked while looking at Giann who was behind.
"Oh where were my manners?! This humble friend's name is DeathRich." Giann said while bowing.
"What a creepy name." Chaunce said while having shivers.
"Well there wasn't much of an idea when I created my character." Giann said with an awkward smile.
"Why don't you show your face to us, DeathRich?" EricKhan asked Giann's strange behaviour hiding his face.
"I'm afraid that's confidential. My brother told me to hide my face and only show it when necessary." Giann said while showing an innocent smile under his hood.
"Well the character we take is quite similar to what we look like in real life so it's quite understandable." Chaunce shared.
[Bruh I look nothing like this on Earth.] Giann complained in his mind as he sighed.
After walking circles and circles on the cave, the group arrived on like a field.
"As for the strategy, Chaunce will trigger the agrro and tank the boss. Erickhan will heal him. Blazing Zhalene will support from a distance, be careful not to put much damage so the aggro will not fall into you. Dean Zi will protect the healer of incoming ranged or melee Giann and I will attack the boss from the sidelanes." Raven discussed to the group.
[The Group Leader already had a plan. Quite amusing. I'm starting to like this group more.] Giann said while he was suprised and was intrigued by the group's actions.
After discussing they went to the centre of the area, they then heard the usual cold mechanical voice.
[BOSS WILL APPEAR IN 10 SECONDS! KILL THE BOSS IN 15 MINUTES!]
"Shit! This dungeon is a blue-colored!" Giann cursed.
"How?" Raven asked while having a worried look.
"Time limit Challenges only appear on Blue Dungeons above! It seems that we just encountered a 1 in million chance!" Giann shouted while stomping his foot clearly enraged.
"Does that mean we're all gonna die?!" Chaunce and the others stumbled on the ground.
"No as long as we stick to the plan and be sure to be alert at all times we can manage this!" Raven said encouraging his dispirited comrades.
Suddenly the cave was illuminated by torches on th walls.
When the group was looking around for the boss, they heard like a lion's roar and saw a beast generating from particles.
[Fallen Beast Black Rhino, Lvl 10, Tier 0, Variant Boss]
[HP: 5,000/5,000]
[Attributes: Unkown]
Horror dawned on the face of all the players in that dungeon.
"Guys! Be prepared that thing is a one hit beast! It might be strong but its agility its slightly slow." Giann shouted warning the others.
"Slightly? Does it makes a difference?" Chaunce smiled warily.
"Chaunce tank it! EricKhan use your healing spells on him continuously! Blazing Zhalene cast buff spells on us! If possible use some agilty boost spells. Dean Zi support us on attacking and keep an eye out for our healer. DeathRich let's attack its legs so we could make it even slower." Raven commanded.
"Aye!" The group of five responded and going to their positions.
The beast charged to its nearest prey who was coincidentally Chaunce.
"Stone Pillar!" Chaunce chanted and he was enveloped with a orange-like substance and became tough like a pillar that could never fall down.
The Rhino collided with the strong pillar. Chaunce's health was reduced to 10%. Erickhan bombarded him with healing spells restoring his health back to its peak.
Blazing Zhalene chanted a buff spell on Giann, Raven, and Dean Zi.
"Lightning God's Breath!" Blazing Zhalene chanted while waving her staff.
Giann, Raven, and Dean Zi suddenly received a 20% boost within a duration of 30 seconds.
"Raven! Dean Zi! Focus on its legs we can't let its charging skill recover! " Giann shouted as he drawed Void Blade and slashed both the beast's lower feet five times.
-100 HP
-100 HP
-100 HP
-100 HP
-100 HP
Raven attacked the beast's upper right foot and Dean Zi attacked its upper right foot.
-58 HP
-72 HP
As Giann was about to continue his 6th blow. The Fallen Rhino immediately fell back and circled around and used it's charging skill and now it's target was Blazing Zhalene.
But due to it's weakened legs it couldn't charge as fast as it could earlier seeing this Chaunce ran in front of her and chanted the skill he used earlier.
"Guys! I have low mana! I can use this skill 1 more time but please finish it off as possible! My body can't take this pain!" Chaunce reminded the attackers while breathing heavily.
The beast arrived and collided against Chaunce's shield but the damage was more powerful this time so strong that it reduced Chaunce's health to 5%.
EricKhan panicked by this revelation she immediately used a Mana Recovery Potion and once again bombarded Chaunce with healing spells.
"I don't have much Mana Recovery Potions left. So finish it off!" EricKhan shouted while having a pale expression.
"Raven! Dean Zi! Continue to attack its legs I will target its eyes!" Giann shouted while brandishing his sword.
"Copy! Both of them said in unison as they charged to attack its upper legs.
-60 HP
-80 HP
...
Giann immediately went on top of the beast and he immediately stabbed the beast's right eye with his sword.
-160 HP (Bonus Critical Damage)
Giann suprised on this as he drawed a dagger on his back and stabbed the beast's left eye continuously.
-100 HP (Bonus Critical Damage)
-100 HP ( Bonus Critical Damage)
-100 Hp ( Bonus Critical Damage)
...
Suprised and enraged by the damage the Fallen Rhino received he shaked off Giann as it was trying to get a bug out of his back.
*Author: Imagine like a cowboy trying to tame a wild horse scene.
[ 1 minute and 49 seconds left.]
Giann tried his best to hold on to this beast while continuously stabbing its eyes.
The process continued for 50 seconds and Giann's face was slightly turning green until the beast health arrived at 1%
An unknown force radiated in the beast and knocked off Giann on its back and was thrown on the wall and also blew off Raven's group causing their health reduced below 20%.
The Fallen Rhino suddenly emmited a deathly aura and smelled the nearest player, Blazing Zhalene.
The Fallen Rhino charged without hesitation and its speed was mysteriously doubled.
Seeing this Blazing Zhalene lost hope and held her staff trying to cast a fireball but a familiar figure appeared out of nowhere and withdraw a green scale like substance.
That's right Giann was sacrificing his treasure the Jade Python's scale.
The Fallen Rhino's fierce attack collided on the Jade Scale but somehow Giann didn't get thrown off but instead his his health was reduced to 1% and his hood was blown away by the impact and revealing a handsome face with long purple hair.
Giann threw up a large portion of blood and drew Void Blade and pierced its eyes.
"Die, you fuck!" Giann cursed as he withdrew his sword and slashed the beast's head.
Blazing Zhalene who saw all that shit that just happened in front of her was shocked.
Everyone on the group was very shocked by this revelation.
[Oh Shit!] Giann exclaimed and immediately saw his status on top of his head.
🟢 [DeathRich]
[Wheew! I thought a NPC title would appear on top. Somehow this is strangely perfect.] Giann said while rubbing his hand on his chin.
Giann unaware of Amused Abyss watching him and protected his identity.
"You owe me one." Amused Abyss said.
"Are you girl?" Chaunce exclaimed while his mouth was wide as fuck.
Giann unaware of his current health and surroundings was awakened.
As Giann was about to reply with a cringey face, a cold mechanical voice resounded on his ears.
[YOU HAVE LEVELED UP]
[YOU HAVE LEVELED UP]
[YOU HAVE LEVELED UP]
[Congratulations! You have finished a Chameleon Code Blue Dungeon! Please collect the loot! Everyone will be transported outside the dungeon within 999 seconds.
*Author: Once again 100% credits to whom I based it from.
Giann and the others was quite shocked on the EXP they received.
As the Fallen Rhino's body began to fade, shining lights appeared in its body.
"What are you looking at?" Giann said in a curious voice while being stared by the shocked faces of Raven's group.
"Are you using a voice changer right now?" Chaunce asked while having a doubtful expression.
"Why would I use a voice changer?" Giann asked in a confused tone.
"Nah it's too unbelievable that a top player who can reduce my health to half would be a girl and can block a Lvl 10 boss final attack would be a girl." Chaunce said with the same doubtful expression.
"I can assure you that I'm a male. Forget it! Let's just check the loot." Giann explained and went to EricKhan to recover his health.
As the group finished healing themselves, they headed to check the loot.
The counted loot or items were 10.
"DeathRich we decided you will get 40% of the items." Raven said while making a smile.
"Are you sure? I only just delivered the final blow." Giann said while having a warily smile.
"Yes. If you haven't blinded and continuously stabbed that Fallen Rhino I'm afraid that we couldn't defeat that beast even if we challenged it for a hundred times." Raven said while having a thankful expression.
"That's right. You deserve those rewards." Chaunce said.
"You deserve it." EricKhan said.
"Mmmm.." Dean Zi nodded in agreement.
"Of course we agree!" Blazing Zhalene said while nodding continuously.
Hearing this Giann was touched. They could have finished him off when his health was reduced to 1% even Giann was afraid when that happened cause who knows what will happen to him, but they didn't instead they reward him handsomely.
Giann smiled warmly.
"Are you seriously a guy?" Chaunce annoyingly asked again ruining Giann's mood.
"Huh?! You want to know I'm a guy? Let me show you my sword then!" Giann immediately draw Void Blade and started chasing Chaunce.
The rest of the group immediately began to laugh.
When the group left the dungeon they immediately invited Giann to join their group but was tactfully declined by Giann.
"Well let's add as friends. We'll contact you if we encounter something very good." Raven said happily.
Suddenly Giann saw an email in his vision.
[ Friend Request: Raven]
[Accept/ Decline]
[Accept.] Giann said.
He saw a person icon on his bottom left view and saw Raven and the others accounts there while having a [Friends] affinity to them.
When the group and Giann seperated, Giann went further to the dark gloomy forest and sat down on log.
[Open Inventory] Giann thought.
Four items appeared in front of him.
[Fallen Rhino's Horn Tier 1 Item Ingredient]
Available Stats:
Unclocked when forged to an equipment.
[Raging Rhino Necklace, Tier 0 Growth Type Accessory]
Lets the Player enter a berserk phase for 30 seconds while boosting all Attributes to 10%.
Upgrade to Tier 1 to upgrade its attributes.
Requirements: None.
[Black Rhino Potion Consumable Item 2x]
+1500 HP
1 time use only.
This were the four items he picked from the Fallen Rhino.
They won't help him now but they were very useful in the future especially the Fallen Rhino's horn. He could make it become a very strong dagger with sufficient materials.
[Player Giann has defeated a Variant Boss. Rewarding Player with an Advance System.]
"What the?" Giann asked.
"Well Done! For the past years your experience on games still hasn't faded. Hehe." said a very familiar voice.
Giann stood up and saw a figure behind a tree.
"Amused Abyss you're still cringey as ever." Giann said while sneering.
