Dungeons. Literally in English it means as a dungeon. But in fantasy stories, dungeons are often described as places where monsters gather. There are also many treasures that can be taken by the slayers who explore it. It can be said that dungeons are the fastest and dangerous way to become stronger.
Now Dans and Dayat were heading towards one of the dungeons near the Capital City, which was the Scorpios Dungeon. Dungeon Scorpios is a relatively safe danger, at least in rank B. In addition to its mid-range threat level, its location near the capital made it frequently resolved and cleaned periodically. This makes it a treasure and monsters there are few, but if lucky to find a monster that gives a lot of loot.
“The first day of adventure in another world, our property is taken by our own friends. Then the second day in another world, we begin the exploration of the real fantasy. What's waiting for us up ahead? Let's look forward to the story of the two of us, yey,” Dayat provides a strange narrative.
“What, the hell, you are this,” said Dans cynically. “This is a bad thing when we have nothing. Good thing we still have one piece of gold coins left that can be used to pay for admission here. Can you act more realistically?”
“Already, already. I'm just amusing myself in the narrowness, anyway.”
“Can you stop that? More importantly ...” Dans stared at the vast hallway in front of him. “I wonder how dungeons can form. There was no way people in this era could make a banguan this grand underground, not to mention the monsters living inside the dungeon.”
Dayat raised his hand and explained, “According to the book I read, dungeons have been formed since the Age of the Gods. There is no record of how dungeons were created, but the way it works is more or less a dungeon is to invite people from outside with items from defeated monsters. If that person or individual died within the dungeon, then his corpse would be converted to whichever was next to maintain the existence of that dungeon.
It has been proven that dungeons that run out of mana do not produce monsters, which means they cannot give loot. But even though the way it works is by converting the corpse into mana, the individual outside the dungeon that goes into it will lose its mana periodically. Therefore, the beginner slayer error is to run out of mana after too long inside the dungeon.”
“In other words, we are currently in the stomach of living beings.” Dans stared flatly and disdainfully at the road in front of him. “If only this place did not have a labyrinth-like look, but rather was damp and smelly, I'm sure almost no one would come here.”
“That's true too, anyway..”.
They continued their exploration of the dungeon. The first monster they found was the Inland Rat who dropped the Wooden Sword Handle when it was defeated. None of them knew of its function, so they just left it there. Unfortunately they forgot to bring a bag, so they couldn't carry it.
Descending to the second floor, they encountered the Day Bats monster that fired Light Bullet Magic at its target. Both of them were a little exhausted when they met the flying monsters, but both of them managed to defeat them by firing the Dark Projectile. Just like before, they left the loot of the Day Bats, namely the Neck Feathers of Bats that should be able to be used to make clothes.
To the third floor, they encountered a physical attack-type monster, the Cave Goblin armed with a short sword. The size of this creature is only 30 centimeters, but that is what makes it difficult to handle. In addition, their habit of living in groups makes it more difficult for both of them to beat them. It was fortunate that Dans had Sleep Magic which was a debuff of the darkness element, so this was easier. Unlike before when Sleep was used, the bullet of light from the other Day Bats made one awaken.
“I'm starting to wonder, why monster corpses disappear when defeated except lootnya,” asked Dans.
“Well, according to the estimations of the researchers, the corpses of the monsters will be returned to where the dungeon is. This is in accordance with the law of conservation of mass, where energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only deformed. Then about why loot does not disappear, it is because it is still necessary to attract greedy people.”
“Then watch the soap opera series tonight. Greedy Slurry Builder Becomes Dungeon Fertilizer,” Dans joking answer.
“Haha, it is fun to fight sleeping targets, yes,” comments Dayat. “Sadly debuff is only effective on targets whose mana level is lower or equal.”
The fourth floor was not too special, where they found a combination of the previous 3 monsters. The Cave Goblin became the vanguard, the Inland Rats infiltrated and attacked infuriatingly, and the Day Bats fired projectiles behind the two. They were both quite troubled, who unfortunately also both had a one target attack type. Sleep Dans magic is also useless as there are Day Bats. There he will even be attacked when chanting.
“Huff... We finally got here too, yeah. Fifth floor...” Dayat looked at the high gate in front of the two.
“This must be the boss room. How do we open it? Pushing it?” lamented Dans.
*criet!*
Right after he finished those words, the large door of the room suddenly opened as if inviting the two of them to enter.
“The name is also a fantasy world.” Dayat stepped in first. “Yuk in!”
“You know for yourself the rules in boss subjugation, don't you?” Dans followed him from behind.
“Of course,” replied Dayat with confidence. “First, when all players enter, then the door will be closed until the boss is defeated or all players die. Second, the number of items the boss dropped was equal to the number of players. Thirdly, the item that fell from the boss was nicer than most items from ordinary monsters.”
“Good. All we need is item quality, not kwantitas.”
The gate suddenly closed with a loud voice. They were both in a very dark room without that light. Then, by itself, suddenly a fire raged on each side of the room where there were torches. Its name is also a fantasy world, so there is no need to ask how a torch can light up on its own.
In the middle of the room, there was a boss monster standing. The shape is very strange, not at all similar to any animal on earth. He has a height of 2 meters. His entire body was brown and covered in black fur. His eyes were red and thirsty for blood. He wore a simple iron armor and carried a large axe in his right hand.
Once hit by an attack from the axe, then surely they both will die.
“As before, I will distract and you attack when off guard.” Dans walked forward while taking his sword.
“Okey!” Dayat instantly used Conceal Magic and disappeared from his place
Conceal magic itself is one of the basic magic to hide the air of existence. When this magic is activated, then the steps will become quieter and the unfocused person will not realize its existence. Of course, there is Magic Cancel who is the opponent of this magic and can mess up the opponent's buff. But with Dornum having an Anti-Debuff gift, then his property could not be undone.
“Graaaa..!” The monster started by shouting loudly.
“Do you want to scare me with that? Too bad it won't work.” Dans recalled the night before, when a Zen aura enveloped him. “Bos Monster dungeon with C level threat, Berserk Furry ….
*Step!* *step!* *step!*
The monster immediately walked or more into running at Dans with his axe ready to be swung.
“Have a powerful and deadly attack yet ..”
*wing!* *blar!*
When he got to Dans' place, he immediately swung his ax vertically, then the lunge from the axe instantly smashed the floor. After the axe was removed, he was shocked and widened his eyes to realize that Dans was not there.
*glash!* *slash!* *slash!*
Using Shukuchi, Dans was behind the Boss Monster and gave it some slashes. “Movement of Berserk Furry is very slow.” He looked at his former slash and thought, ‘But the defense is stronger than I thought..’.
“Guo...” The monster, Berserk Furry, was instantly enraged to see himself getting some injuries. He immediately turned around and raised his axe, about to attack Dans.
Dans could of course avoid that easily using Shukuchi or moving in person. But he instead shouted, “Now!”
*crash!*
Dayat instantly appeared behind Berserk Furry's neck and slashed down using his bluish-colored sword. “Swatcher Skills: Magical Swipe!”
*bugh!*
The head of the monster was immediately decapitated and fell to the ground in a soft voice. Furthermore, that headless body started to fall down and a lot of blood flowed out from it.
“Well, this is very-very disgusting.” Dayat scrunched his lips at the scene. “I'm sure if this creature is haram to eat.”
“Already. This is the world we will live in. Don't think too much.” Dans walked over to her. “Which is better than this, now is the time to looting.”
*cring!*
A golden light began to shine in the middle of the room, which further incarnated into several treasure chests.
