Tak Tak Tak
The team walked from a small bridge of concrete as they observed the surroundings.
They were inside the second chamber, approaching the circular stadium that they had seen in the image.
All of them were on their guard, as they knew how this dungeon wasn't an easy one.
Any trap could pop up at any time and injure or even kill one of them.
Flip
As soon as they reached the middle of the stadium, a paper appeared above them.
[Welcome challengers.]
Flip
[You were successfully able to steal the key, but unfortunately, you have been caught. As a punishment for your crime, you have been sent here, to the stadium.]
Flip
[Criminals are also living creatures. The kind ruler of the room has given every criminal a chance. If you want to live, survive!]
"Stay on guard. Monsters are coming."
Ben, who was standing at the front, said as others became stiff.
Whoosh Whoosh
As soon as the paper disappeared, two dark mists erupted in front of them as two huge monsters appeared.
"T-this can't be." Noi muttered as she looked at the two monsters, who looked very familiar.
Standing on four legs, the monster's whole body was covered in dark mists. They had four red eyes each as a river of saliva and disgusting liquid dropped down from the mouth.
…
Ding
[Scanning host's body for any fatal injury.]
Inside a dark hallway, a figure lay down unconscious.
The figure was still alive as his stomach rose up and down once in a while.
'This idiot. He is gone again.'
Inside the figure's consciousness room, Eden sat in the chair as he looked at the bed.
Aiden was unconscious lying on the bed.
Ding
[Several fractured limbs were detected. It is advised to treat them quickly.]
Sigh
Looking at the message, Eden sighed as his figure disappeared.
"…AGH."
As soon as Eden disappeared from the consciousness, the outside body groaned as it started to twitch in pain.
"Tsk. How could he slip the heart stone in such a dangerous situation?" He muttered as he gritted his teeth.
Trickle Trickle
Slowly lifting his body, he felt the blood flowing down from his head as he felt lightheaded.
"Why fear death when your luck is this bad?" He muttered in annoyance as he dragged his body to a nearby dark wall and rested his body there.
"Broken leg. Broken ankle. A big wound at the head tsk tsk…"
Lisiting out the injuries, Eden looked at his right hand. There was a black ring on his ring finger. Touching that ring, two glass bottles appeared on his hand.
It was a dimensional ring that contained his items.
"Window. These two are the only potions there. Will this suffuce?" He asked.
Ding
[It would be just enough. Please drink it without wasting any drop.]
The window appeared as Eden squinted his eyes to read them. The lightheaded was affecting him.
Tap
Opening the bottle, he chugged both of the potions.
"Ugh. The fuck is this shit. I feel like I'm gonna hurl." Eden muttered as he started to gag.
Ding
[Waring! Please don't throw the potions out.]
The window appeared as Eden frowned.
"Tsk. At least be of proper help."
Thump
The body flopped down to the ground as Eden also became unconscious.
Ding
[Potion consumed. Healing the injuries.]
…
While Aiden's body remained unconscious in the dark hallway, some distance away from his position, a golden light was being emitted from a door.
This door, unlike the cloth door or the lanky door, appeared grand and made of gold.
It was huge, as a golden hue emitted from it.
It was the last and the fourth chamber.
Inside the door, it was a very dark room.
Whoosh Whoosh
But within the darkness, an everlasting and unique fire was raging.
The fire couldn't be properly seen in the darkness since the fire was one with the darkness of the room.
Within the raging fire, its source was in a deep slumber.
…
Inside the second chamber,
BOOM
A small figure jumped up high in the sky as the monster in front of him also did the same and jumped.
As soon as the monster jumped, the small figure clenched his palm into the fist and swung it at the monster.
The monster was too big for him to miss even by mistake, as his fist landed right between the monster's four red eyes.
BAM
As soon as the fist landed, the monster was sent back into the ground.
CREAK
The monster's huge body slammed on the floor as huge cracks started to form.
'That's it?'
Ben thought in a slight disappointment as his body started to fall down.
BAM
As he fell, he landed on top of the monster's gut.
GRRRROOOOOOWL
The monster growled as black blood started to flow from its mouth.
Whoosh
As the blood flowed, the monster turned into dust and disappeared.
Sigh
Exhaling a breath of disappointment Ben turned around to support the others.
Srrrrrrr
As he turned around, he saw dark clouds floating on the air swirling on top of the other monster.
Zzz Zzz
A frequent string of purple lightning came from those dark clouds, as it could be seen that the purple lightning was being charged.
GRRRROOOOOOWL
The monster growled in an attempt to fight back, but
[Sealing grip]
Green shiny ropes, appearing from several green magic circles, were binding the monster from all around.
Noi, the source of the green magic circle, was holding her staff with its end connected to the ground and her green book, her [Personal Sigil], at the top end of the staff.
Not only Noi, Kate and Blake were also doing their things as Kate took out a huge chain from her storage pouch and ran around the monster.
Swoosh
She threw the chain above the monster to the other side as Blake caught it. They ran around in circles as they did the same thing and pinned down the monster.
Zzzzzaaapp
The dark clouds finished charging up the lightning as they rained down on the monster.
GRRRROOOOOOWL
The monster growled in pain, but that wasn't the end as more purple lightning rained down on it.
Zzzzzaaapp Zzzzzaaapp Zzzzzaaapp
Zzzzzaaapp
Grrrrrrrr
Thwamp
As the last purple lightning rained on it, it let out a small groan as its body dropped down.
Whoosh
Just like with the other one, it also turned into dust and disappeared into the air.
Tap
Closing her purple book, Ann looked at the position where the monster recently was. The dark clouds above them disappeared, same with the green shiny ropes.
Sigh
Breathing out a breath, Noi felt exhausted as she took out a small green potion from her storage pouch and drank it.
'The ground here doesn't have much mana to draw out.' She thought as she looked at the ground and then at her staff.
Her staff wasn't an ordinary stick; it played a role for her. It was called
[Pacifier: An artifact used by mages to help them control their mana more efficiently. It helps mages with large tanks of mana to control their mana and helps mages with small tanks by providing external mana.]
Noi, who had a small tank of mana, used the staff to draw mana from the ground and use them for her spells.
Clang
Kate collected her chains as she put them inside her storage pouch while Blake checked on Ben.
"You are very strong guild master, Ben." Blake said as Ben simply sighed.
"Go back to the party and inform them; it's not over yet." He said as Blake nodded his head in surprise and ran towards them.
Flip
[Good job surviving till now. But prepare yourself. Its not over yet.]
GRRRROOOOOOWL
