"This happened millions of years ago, but the size of the meteorite was bigger than this, and it fell from the sky, why is it curved from the northwest this time?" One of the scientists said that scientists in Aetheris City had succeeded in bringing home samples of the meteor that fell on Britonia.
"From what I see, it shows radiation similar to the mana radiation that occurred millions of years ago." Said one of the scientists there who was looking at and studying the purple rock.
Millions of years ago a meteor fell to Earth, but until now scientists in Britonia don't know where the meteor hit, that's why there are so many questions that can't be answered.
From the book created by April Houndwarts, it is written there that a large rock called a meteor fell on another continent, he tried to explore the ocean with his wife, but something else happened, in the book he was not successful in finding it, and ended up dying because attacked bysea monster, this book was launched to the public by his wife who survived the attack.
That's why scientists created steamships to carry the rookie Gladius and several main Gladiuses to explore the ocean together to the island that we haven't explored yet.
****/ Wein Grimveil's POV :
Shit, that means we're locked in here?
I swallowed my saliva.
Seeing one of my team panicking, Professor Kathrine, who was trying to control herself so that the others wouldn't panic too, tried to continue walking calmly.
"Come on, we have to keep going–"
"Roaaarr!!!" A loud roar echoed through the Dungeon, making some rocks fly and the dust shake. This one didn't feel like the roar of a big cat, it sounded more like a giant reptile.
It sounded intimidating, powerfully, along with the heavy footsteps, it felt like a group of animals was coming towards us.
"Something is coming, get ready!!!" Loraine said lead, I don't know, but she certainly didn't look panicked, she was extraordinary, she could still lead this army properly.
The vibrations were getting closer, we all formed a circle while backing away so we could see the whole place, this Dungeon has lots of circular tunnels.
I slowly backed away with Sherlyn next to me, her hands were shaking and she couldn't even hold her bow, next to me was Kylo Sharks who was holding his giant shield.
"I think this could be the end for us." Said Kylo Sharks who looked scared, but his big body with broad shoulders was very strong, the same as his mentality which looked like he could overcome this.
"Shhh." I told him to be quiet, if he said that wouldn't many people panic even more, it was clear that fifteen people definitely wouldn't be able to overcome the Abyssal Gate, even Gladius needed an hour to complete this.
I took out my sword, the Divine Repulsor which appeared from my right hand, giving off a mystical purple and black aura effect with flashes of purple lightning flashing as it appeared in my hand.
This legendary sword in my hand feels light, with a blade that is as black as a starless night, and a beautiful size on the hilt.
"Roaarkhhh!!!" "Bugs!!" Something fell after a very loud roar from one of the tunnels, but because it was echoing we couldn't tell which tunnel it was from.
It sounded from the right, moved to the left, then moved back and forward again, making it hard for me to know where the monster would come out?
But not long after that, a monster as big as an elephant with dragon scales, its face looked like a dragon, and I thought it was an earth dragon, but why was its size so big?
They even have a colony, aren't Earth Dragons solitary creatures?
Several of us immediately prepared to attack, but the monsters only remained silent after several of them appeared from the cave.
"That's the Earth Dragon 'Houndworms'" Said Professor Kathrine, Loraine, who was directly facing the monster, began to panic, her eyes were intimidating with horns curved like a goat.
"Can we attack now?" Tiffanie said, she who had looked excited earlier, this time became very alert, she even hid near the big Kylo Sharks.
"Hold still—"
"Aaaa!!!" Someone from our troops was attracted and torn to shreds by the Dragon, with its long nails it attracted several of our troops.
"Attack!!!" The order came back from Loraine, but it was too hasty, I know she couldn't bear to see her friends being killed one by one by the Dragon, right? but this is the wrong move for this team.
"NO!!!" I said shouting, but they didn't pay attention to my screams, even though I tried to scream as loud as possible.
They continued their attack, Kylo Sharks as Tank was in front to guard the others, Professor Kathrine also joined the fight.
I think I have to follow it this time, even though all the opportunities are lost, soon there will be a real attack from the Dragons of this land.
"Kill the Dragons and look for the right tunnel, it will lead us to the Abyssal Realm which is safer than here." Professor Kathrine shouted.
He slashed the Dragon's thick skin with his dagger, he even fired his old gun at the Earth Dragon who was attacking Kylo.
I survived here while killing several Earth Dragons that came towards me, but there was no point in wasting all my energy on something that was endless.
"Some people hold back this Earth Dragon, and some people look for the tunnel leading to the Abyssal Realm, HURRY!!!" I said firmly, I am not the leader here ordering them and they did not refuse in the slightest.
"I will find a way to the Abyssal Realm, Loraine and Glen come with me." Tiffanie, with her enthusiasm back, looked cheerful and invited several of her friends to join.
"I'll leave it to you." I said, then Loraine started to shake, her eyes were very glazed, Glen looked normal but I saw that his mentality was getting more and more torn.
"Prof, lead the attackers so they can protect those looking for the tunnel to the Abyssal Realm." I said, Professor Kathrine, who no longer used her dagger for fighting, started to approach me.
While reloading the antique pistol this time with a different power, he installed a laser bullet that was only in the trial stage.
"Uh huh."
Professor Kathrine started to become the vanguard, with Kylo Sharks who was holding back alone with his enormous shield.
He ran towards Kylo Sharks, I followed behind him because he was using a gun, that meant someone had to protect him closely.
"Hold on a little longer Kylo, I'll help you." I said, then I took steps to fight against the earth dragon.
"How long can you hold on?" I asked Kylo Sharks again, I saw him withstand many long claws that were the equivalent of a katana tearing Kylo's shield to shreds, but I was amazed by Kylo's strength which could last long enough.
"M... Maybe in about ten minutes." He said, Earth dragons are a stupid species, they are not good at attacking and sometimes they don't even attack, but this feels strange, this dragon is big but it is very aggressive.
"Pew... Pew... Pew.. Pew.. Pew" Professor Kathrine shot the earth dragon's very rough and thick skin easily, with the glowing bullet making a hole in the neck and several other parts of the dragon.
But weapons have limitations.
I swallowed my saliva once again.
I felt a huge voice, with very relaxed slow movements, as if he knew that we wouldn't be able to defeat him, The voice slowly approached, some of the ground dragons became very quiet.
The great aura produced.
"TIFFANIE HAVE YOU FOUND HIM?" Kylo shouted, no longer able to withstand the attack, but the attack slowed down, making Kylo even more relaxed.
"I think there's something bigger coming." I said, Sherlyn who was next to me, held her bow and aimed it at the tunnel where she felt there was something there.
"That big monster won't come to us I don't think." Sherlyn said after several things she tried to see what was happening.
His hands were shaking, with his eyes unable to see, I think he was very tired.
"How long have we been here?" Janice exclaimed from behind me, she is the assassin on this team, and very agile, but this is the first time I've seen her.
"Where have you been?" I asked very curiously, but he just held back his words, I, who saw him as if he was hiding something, started to approach him.
"I found the Abyssal Realm, but it was locked, I think we have to look for the key, I deliberately wanted to discuss this with the Professor, but not the others." Looks like I'm also included, he found the Abyssal Realm, but it's locked, I can't think anymore.
You've never heard of an Abyssal Realm that hasn't been open for a long time, from all the oddities, I think this is an S Rank or AA Rank Dungeon.
"We've been here for thirty minutes." Janice said that apparently she was also calculating all this, I saw that she was very good at reading the situation, and was very calm now.
That's quite a long time for us who didn't bring other equipment, we could have died because there was no experiment, I think we would have died from exhaustion without food.
"I FOUND THE KEY!!!" The girl shouted proudly as she brought the key to me, Loraine looked even paler this time.
Tiffanie ran, she lifted the key as if showing it off to me, she ran while smiling happily and proudly.
"Follow me." Janice said, Tiffanie hadn't handed over the key, because suddenly I was pulled by Janice, who didn't know what her purpose was.
"What is it?" You really believe that inside the Abyssal Realm it will be better? Aren't a lot of things that could happen there? and even more monsters than here." Several people behind me saw the two of us arguing.
However, because our expressions were very gloomy, it looked like we were hiding something and even looked like we wanted to plan something.
"You ever entered the Abyssal Gate?" I asked him back, obviously I already had experience here, because I had previously been to the Dungeon which turned out to be the Abyssal Gate, but it was different but at least it was the same thing.
"N... Not yet."
I turned my back to Janice, she looked annoyed while looking at my back, I don't know anymore, but she became silent.
"Where's the key?" I said to Tiffanie, then suddenly Tiffanie threw it at me, with quick reflexes I caught it easily.
"Tell me the way." i said to Janice, but Janice still held back, she thought that it would be safer in this tunnel.
"…"
"Wein... Why did all the earth dragons run away?" Asked Kylo who was still at the forefront, Professor Kathrine was confused, Sherlyn even tried to pull the bowstring while putting fire on the tip of the arrowhead.
"Tang!!!" The fire arrows flew and illuminated the pitch black tunnel, allowing us to see many earth dragons running back.
However, when we reached the end and we couldn't see it, the fire started to go out, and we saw nothing new, only a group of earth dragons returning home.
"Pang... Fwhip!!!"
Sherlyn fired again at a different tunnel, this time she fired at the tunnel next to the Abyssal Realm tunnel.
The tunnel was dark, with flames flying alone to the end without anything new ahead, but at a glance you saw a new figure.
"What's that?" Sherlyn asked.
With a long neck, sharp teeth, a very thin jaw with thick skin, red eyes, a face like an intimidating monster, staring at us who had just shot arrows at him. "Kroooaarrkhhh!!!!"
