Chereads / Magic Of The Dragon God / Chapter 4 - Proven Hero

Chapter 4 - Proven Hero

After searching for a few days, I finally found a way to clear my name. I had one month in hand before the war, if I could do it by then, it would help me out a lot. I have to collect two types of Artifacts from two different dungeons, red artifact and blue artifact. Red and Blue dungeons are the hardest of all dungeons, however, after getting the artifacts and putting them together, one can change any event. This is probably how that guy did this. The most probable reason for this is jealousy. Once an event in history is altered with the red and blue artifacts, you can use red and blue artifacts to undo the change.

In other words, if I am able to get both of the artifacts, I can restore the original history and its events.

After I get the artifacts, I have to take them to a secret temple known as the truth temple. Once I take the artifacts there, I have to put them in their respective slots and I'll be able to restore the original history.

That is how the legend goes. I hope it's true as I am about to put all my time and effort grinding the two dungeons.

Hevop: "FIREBALL!"

Hevop: "Kage! Pin them to the ground!"

Ains: "HAAAAAAAAAAA"

Ains: "We did it!"

[SYSTEM: BLUE DUNGEON, FIRST FLOOR HAS BEEN CLEARED - 1/6]

Ains: "Let's go! 5 more floors to go!"

Hevop: "Ains, be on guard, don't get to excited"

Ains: "Sheesh man, can you at least let me have some fun?!"

Hevop: "Man, you take it too easy. Kage, search the monsters' dead bodies and extract the items."

Kage: "Yes, master."

Alice: "Master, you were so cool!"

Hevop: "Th-Thanks, Alice…"

I use magic, however my primary weapon is a sword. The armor I am wearing right now looks fabulous. And the two handed sword that I wield is a huge double edged sword.

Ains is basically the same.

Alice uses daggers along with her magic.

Our butler, Ken, fights by hand. Martial Arts is his strong suit. His punch can practically destroy a small mountain.

Hevop: "Alright, let's head to the next floor."

We headed down to floor 2. We found a single hall which seemed infinite. We started to walk towards the darkness but there was no end. As we were walking, the torches on the sides were being lit up.

Ains: "This place doesn't end does it? Is it a maze?"

Hevop: "It's possible"

Hevop: "Hey, by the way Ains, you have a specialty with mazes don't ya?"

Ains: "..."

Hevop: "Ains?"

I turned around to find myself alone.

Hevop: "Ains! Alice! Ken! Where are you all?!"

Hevop: "What in the world just happened? I can't stop here, I have to keep going. Wait, I see light at the end of the hall!"

I ran towards the light. As I reached the end of the hall, I found something unexpected.

The dead bodies of Ains, Alice and Ken.

Hevop: "What the hell in the world happened?!"

Alice: "Master! Over here!"

Huh? That voice,

Hevop: "Alice, is that you?!"

Alice: "Yes, it's me, master! Don't fall for the illusion; this is an illusion floor."

I see. Which means…

Hevop: "Alice! I'm gonna cancel the illusion!"

[Light Magic: TRUE VISION]

I was back. My friends were standing right next to me.

Hevop: "Are you guys okay?"

Ains: "Yeah we're fine. It seems like they didn't expect us to cancel the illusion. The exit to the floor is right there. That's the third floor"

Hevop: "Yeah, let's go."

[SYSTEM: BLUE DUNGEON, SECOND FLOOR HAS BEEN CLEARED - 2/6]

I have a bad feeling about this. Blue and Red dungeons are supposed to be hard, how is this so easy?

Hevop: "Kage, set a teleportation checkpoint here"

Kage: "As you say, master."

Hevop:"Guys, let's go to the third floor"

This looks like some sort of a cave.

Ains: "Hevop! There is a message here!"

Ains: "It says… 'Welcome to hell'"

Boom!

Hevop: "What was that?! Better go and check."

Ains: "Hevop, we don't need to go and check. It's here for us to check…" He said with a nervous smile.

I looked behind me and saw the shadowy figure. The figure was huge. It was a horrific sight.

I looked towards the shadowy figure with cold eyes. I ran towards the figure with my sword and started chopping him up with my sword at an untraceable speed.

Hevop: "It's dead."

Ains: "Hevop, if it's dead that easily then…"

Hevop: "Yeah, there's more"

The darkness soon disappeared as I used light magic to reveal the area crawling with shadow monsters twice our sizes.

Hevop: "Alice, handle this, I'm gonna relax here and watch."

Ains: "Hevop, Wait, seriously?!-"

Alice: "Yes, master!"

Alice ran towards the shadow figures with such a high speed that it seemed like she just teleported.

Hevop: "Just watch, Ains."

Ains: "Wow… You have certainly trained her!"

Hevop: "Hehe, this is not even 5% of her full power."

Ains: "Hevop, is she perhaps…"

Hevop: "She's still not as strong as me or you, but she's a Legend-God"

Ains: "Dude, you're really good at teaching!"

Hevop: "Hehe, thanks."

Safe to say, it took about 15 seconds for her to kill about a thousand of those shadows.

[SYSTEM: BLUE DUNGEON, THIRD FLOOR HAS BEEN CLEARED - 3/6]

Alice: "Master, the floor has been cleared."

Hevop: "Yeah, good work, Alice"

Butler Ken: "Master, you seem to be having fun."\

Hevop: "Ken, don't tell me you got too old to fight!"

Butler Ken: "Hahaha, surely you jest master, I'm barely 62-years-old"

Ains: "Y-Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what normal humans call old."

Butler Ken: "Masters, do not worry. I'm still capable of serving you. After the hard training you put me through since when I was just 15-years-old, I feel like I'll be fighting like my prime for another hundred years, haha!"

Hevop: "Glad to hear."

***

At last, we finally made it to the sixth floor! It was.., oddly empty.

Ains: "Hevop…"

Hevop: "I know. Guys, prepare for battle."

Time for the boss fight. We entered the room to find the large boss room! And the boss was at least the size of a small mountain.

Hevop: "Butler, are you sure you're supposed to be wearing your suit for battle?"

Butler Ken: "Master, everyone is wearing a suit other than Alice, who is wearing the martial arts clothes you made her for agility."

Hevop: "Haha, guess you're right"

Hevop: "Alice, find openings and observe its weaknesses"

Alice: "Yes, master!"

Hevop: "Ken, Ains let's go!"

Butler Ken: "Yes, master."

Ains: "Alright!"

I jumped about 15 meters high and used my sword to attach myself to his body. I put my hand on his body and casted a spell.

[Fire Magic: FIREBOLT]

It seems to be unaffected.

Alice: "Master! Eyes! Target the eyes!"

I pulled out my blade and dropped from his body

Hevop: "Ains!"

Ains: "Got it!"

I casted a gravity spell as Ains picked me up and threw me towards the turtle-like enemies eyes.

I stabbed his eye using my sword while hanging on to it and casted fire magic.

Alice: "Master, you have to destroy its heart somehow!"

Hevop: "What a pain."

I used fire magic to burn his eyes to ashes and entered his brain through his eye.

Ains: "Hevop, you are one brutal and disgusting guy, I love it!"

I cut my way out of the brain all the way to its stomach. After reaching the stomach, I used my sword to cut the stomach and reach the heart. After a lot of cutting, I finally reached the heart. I used fire magic to dispose of the heart. After destroying the heart, I cut my way out of his belly.

Ains: "Yuck! Hevop, you're covered with blood and intestinal juice, ugh!"

Hevop: "Haha!"

[Water Magic: PURE WARM WATER]

I washed myself and saw the Blue Artifact, wait, is that the Red Artifact with the Blue one?! There are two?!

Butler Ken: "Master, this is an extremely rare occurrence!"

Hevop: "Yeah!"

I took the two artifacts and was about to leave.

Hevop: "Good work guys!"

Hevop: "Let's go."

Suddenly the artifacts disappeared from my hands, as I heard a mysterious voice of a man

???: "Where are you planning to go?"
