Chapter 23 - Chamber of Hell (1)

As the trio walked into the chamber, the stench of blood became filled the air making it difficult to breath.

Ryan kept on walking into the chamber. He could sense the immense amount of negative mana all over the place. 

He had unsheathed his sword waiting for the Tyrant to strike at anytime. He was eager to finish it off as he didn't have much time.

[Trial:Dungeon 

Duration:47minutes 54secs]

Ryan knew that they had to hurry or they would be lost in the Dungeon forever. 

The trio stayed vigilant as their eyes surveyed the entire room. From the mountain of corpses to the blood stained walls. 

A Tyrant was not one to act so recklessly. They moved with caution, gradually talking every step. Ryan knew that the tyrant was aware of their arrival. It was just waiting for the right moment to strike. 

Tyrants were formidable monsters as one could single handedly level down a village. They ravenous beasts that sought nothing but darkness and destruction. 

The trio finally came to a stop as they faced with yet another challenge. 

Before them stood three passageways, each one leading to an unknown challenge. 

Ryan had a bad feeling about this. It was just a way to separate them.

Ryan suggested that they all take one route as it would be better for them to be together when facing the Tyrant.

And Ryan couldn't bear to lose two valuable allies in this godforsaken dungeon.

They all agreed on the plan as they took the middle route, leading them again into another open space filled with more piles of dead bodies. 

Gabrielle wondered how many people this monster had been killing as she gazed upon the the piles of dead corpses all over. Doubt started to creep into her mind, but she soon found her inner courage and continued on their journey. 

Ryan knew that ot would not be long before they were greeted by the devil of this hell.

Luckily, Ryan was right as the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

"An earthquake?" Eclair asked as she struggled to maintain her balance. 

Ryan knew that it was far from it. Suddenly the the ground began to open as several corpses fell in the abyss it created.

To their surprise, a huge snake came out of the ground as it stood tall and mighty. The ground still trembling. The snakes length was unbelievable as it coiled around itself several times. It was as tall as a building, standing almost 20ft in the air.

Ryan had expected this, but was still a little bit shocked at the sight before him. 

The snake let out a large hissing before revealing it's treacherous fangs.

When the trembling had stopped the snake looked Ryan in the eye as it came a little bit closer. 

For some reason Ryan felt fear when he looked into the eye of the snake as he couldn't move, being frozen by fear. But he soon broke out of that prison as he resolved hardened, as he summoned more courage. 

The snake was visibly shocked to see this as Ryan had been the first to break out of it's grasp. 

Ryan immediately warned Gabrielle and Eclair about its eye. The two quickly averted their gaze from the snake eyes. Though, they were already slowly being consumed by fear.

Soon a notification came up above Ryan's head.

[Trial:Dungeon 

Duration:40minutes 25secs]

[You have made it to the boss chamber. Slay the tyrant and receive your reward. Failure to complete task will result in dire consequences]

Ryan glanced at the System's notification as this was the first time he was given a task by his System. 

Ryan had choice but to accept the task. He then reminded the two about their previously discussed plan. 

The two nodded in affirmation as they all got into battle position. 

The snake saw that they were willing to fight and it got furious as it charged towards them. 

They all leaped out of the way as a giant crater was created due to the impact from the snake. 

Ryan realized hiw powerful the tyrant was as he landed on the ground, sliding several meters backwards. He soon regained his balance as he charged foward at the snake. He leaped up into the air as he attempted to slash the tyrant.

Ryan was shocked as the sword didn't even dent it. The snake was covered in thick hard scales making it impossible for attacks to penetrate it. 

The snake slammed its body into the wall as it attempted to crush Ryan.

Ryan was quick jump off it's body as he landed back on the ground. 

Eclair was the second to attack as she created vine like ropes. The vines emerged from the ground as the wrapped around the snake keeping it bound in one place. 

Gabrielle took this chance to attack it. She created multiple clones of herself as they all leaped into the air. They all channelled mana unto their blade as they struck the snake.

Sparks of fire were ignited as a result of the snake hard skin clashing together. Though, her blade attacks were ineffective they snake still got sent down due to the impact. 

The snake slammed into the ground creating a large crater as a huge gust of wind blew across the chamber. 

The succubus race were prominent in terms of power. They possessed the strengths of giants making them the strongest beings on Spectra. 

Gabrielle landed gracefully as she let out a smile. Unfortunately for her the snake wasn't going down that easy. 

It raised it's head as it let out a fierce hissing. Still bounded by the vines it struggled to move. Ryan tried looking for a weak point as he tried targeting its lower body.

Ryan landed several attacks on the snake as he couldn't seem to penetrate seem to penetrate it. It truly was impenetrable. 

The snake was getting annoyed by what Ryan was doing. It struggled and struggled and managed to break out of the vines holding it captive.

Ryan wasn't going to give up so easily as he clenched his sword tightly, leaping forward for another attack.
