SELECT DUNGEON'S STORY - Nephilim's Corruption

Chapter 29 - Monster Man, Shin

This time Vezda did not hold back his strength at all. Vezda mustered all his fighting abilities to finish off the mysterious group. Vezda saves the use of explosives by using explosives contained in every body of people from the mysterious group. Explosion after explosion witnessed by the group from the Cathur and Vezda Alliance was so efficient in using its explosives that in addition to killing the people from the group, he also killed many plant monsters.

“I don't know who he is and why he can have such sword skills, but for sure he is a high-level adventurer.” Adrian said to the others while remaining focused on protecting the magician in the back line.

“I've heard that he's level 5. His name is Vezda Fenias and a new member of the Alliance Aliviah.” Lilina explained while joining the fight.

“THROW ALL YOUR MAGIC FORWARD!!!” Vezda shouted while jumping far back into the center line while finishing off the plant monsters that were in the vicinity and the frontline opened the formation so that the magic from the back line could be blown away.

All the magic that the backline had gathered did not have much effect as everyone from the mysterious group that had survived the Vezda attack turned out to be protected as well by some powerful plant monsters.

“Damn it!” Nyllia said to the others.

“Mira give recovery potion where!” Lilina said to Mira.

I don't have crystals from those plant monsters. I need it to use magic. Vezda reached into his pocket, but there were no crystals left to strengthen his magic.

Vezda accidentally discovers that a turquoise crystal derived from plant monsters and similar species can be used as a magic catalyst. Looks like the one who can use it is also just a Vezda because no one is idle to try it other than Vezda. Then of course Vezda tried to use a crystal that can be dropped monsters that are generally purple and the stronger, the crystal will be bigger. However, there was no response or any effect on the magic used. With that, he could amplify the magic results he unleashed while using Overkill just like when he used Thousand Lights magic together with Syllia.

“Learline, focus on healing the injured. The rest focused on the fight against the plant monsters. I'll protect you from a suicide bomb attack!” Vezda says.

Ragnulf immediately advanced to face the Tamer without fear, but of course Tamer sent many Monster plants to Ragnulf. Unfortunately because Ragnulf had memorized the monster, all the monsters Tamer sent were useless.

“Cih, no matter how much you send the monster, it won't change anything!” Ragnulf easily reached the Tamer and immediately attempted to slash it, but the Tamer was as fast as Ragnulf.

“Death!” The Tamer dodges to Ragnulf's left side to attack Ragnulf, but Ragnulf also kicks quickly to the left side, slashing Tamer's head.

Unreasonable resilience. Ragnulf's slash did not have much effect despite hitting Tamer's hand.

He's very fast. The tamer was also quite overwhelmed handling Ragnulf's extremely fast attack.

“Ghost of Aliviah. Looks like you're here following War Dancer.” The Tamer said to Ragnulf.

“What did you do to Samir?”

“PartnerI's dealing with War Dancer. Maybe 1 hand or foot War Dancer already cut–”

Before Tamer could reply to Ragnulf's words, Ragnulf had attacked Tamer very quickly, but the Tamer could still resist Ragnulf's attack.

Is he getting faster? The tamer felt Ragnulf getting stronger and faster.

“I'll make sure you die in this place too.” Ragnulf this time was furious and had no intention of restraining himself anymore.

Ragnulf and Tamer's attack this time was so fast that it was very difficult for Syllia to be able to help or just direct her magic.

“Sister Ragnulf!” Syllia wants to help Ragnulf.

“Wait, Syllia. This way we won't be able to help too much.” Celaena stopped Syllia.

“I know, but there's a right too. I would be very troubled if I had to direct my magic with such a fast-moving enemy.” Syllia said to Celaena while watching Ragnulf and Tamer fight.

“So, it's a high-level adventurous power.” Celaena finally saw how high-level adventurers fought and witnessed firsthand that far beyond reason power.

One of the Strongest Alliances in Femi, the Alliance of Aliviah has a very fast person that is Ragnulf. In terms of speed, no adventurer could match Ragnulf. However, the Tamer that Ragnulf is fighting can match Ragnulf's strength and speed.

The abnormal resilience was like the white-haired Tamer that Brother Samir was fighting on the 18th floor. Syllia recalled exactly what happened on the 18th floor a few weeks ago.

“NAEA!” The tamer summoned a plant monster in the middle of her fight against Ragnulf and made a distance with Ragnulf.

“Damn it!” The plant monsters instantly attacked Ragnulf quickly and in large numbers.

I had to distract the plant monster. Syllia prepared a position to cast a spell and tried to focus on the spot.

“Celaena, I ask you to protect me for a moment.” Syllia said to Celaena.

“Good.” Celaena prepared in front of Syllia.

“Moonlight gives me power,” Syllia starts an early chapter of her spell and gathers more focus for her magic.

As expected, the monster that attacked Ragnulf turned its attention to Syllia and Celaena. Celaena was also prepared to kill the monster.

“Naea, forget that witch. Focus on killing this damn Werewolf!” The tamer gave orders to the plant monster and immediately spun back to attack Ragnulf.

“Cih.” Celaena immediately advanced after seeing the plant monster heading towards Ragnulf.

“O, Holy Lighting. Become a sword that destroys your enemies. Lighting Wave.” Celaena used her magic while continuing to advance.

Celaena uses her magic to kill some plant monsters and attack the Tamer.

“Weak!” The tamer held Celaena's magic easily and struck Celaena's sword which would withstand Tamer's attack.

“AHHH!!” Celaena was thrown and her sword shattered holding off Tamer's attack.

“Elf damn.” Ragnulf sees Celaena will be attacked by the Tamer, but in a state of fighting several plant monsters at once.

“Death!” The tamer jumped up to kill the thrown Celaena.

DUGH!!!!

Ragnulf kicked Celaena to avoid the Tamer's attack very quickly.

Very good, I can't avoid it now. Ragnulf's position was now in a position that could not move quickly to dodge after kicking Celaena and it looked as though Tamer was smiling with victory.

CRAT!!!

An invisible blade slashed at Tamer's neck, but could not cut it. Ragnulf retreated slightly to make distance.

How– Tamer was aware there was a man's air nearby.

“I know you're there!” The tamer attacked someone who was not seen very hard and it was Racita who used magic items to make herself invisible, but the magic item was instantly destroyed.

Mastercraft? Hand protection to make it invisible. I thought he was dying just now. Tamer was surprised to see Racita rise again and attack her.

“The banquet came to me, James.” Racita uses a potion that James threw before he died.

“See who your opponent is!!!” Ragnulf directly attacked the Tamer in succession and did not allow the Tamer to fight back.

Ragnulf's successive attacks were so fast that Tamer found it difficult to fight back. However, due to the power that Tamer had, Ragnulf's attack still did not bring too much change.

“Don't get cocky first you!!” The tamer gets a chance to attack Ragnulf and langusng hits him.

CRACK IT!!!!!

The power that surprised Ragnulf as both of the short swords that Vezda gave were destroyed easily with just 1 punch of Tamer's even though the sword was made of Titanium. Ragnulf fought the Tamer with his bare hands.

“Let your shine penetrate everything. Reach and repeat.” Syllia finished her record and still held her focus and mana.

“DO NOT HESITATE! FINISH AND SHOOT!” Ragnulf shouted to Syllia and looked at Syllia quickly as a sign for Syllia and Syllia understood what Ragnulf meant.

“LIGHT RAY!” Syllia shoots her magic at the Tamer and Ragnulf jumps.

“You still haven't learned either!” As the Tamer was about to fend off Syllia's magic, Syllia's Light Ray Magic turned upwards right towards Ragnulf.

Syllia's Light Ray magic was extremely accurate magic and never missed a predetermined target.

“!!!” The Tamer was startled and saw Ragnulf absorbing all of the magic of Syllia in his right leg protector and was ready to be knocked out with a much stronger force.

“Tap on target.” Ragnulf praised Syllia.

“Now die!” Ragnulf kicked the Tamer coupled with the magic that was knocked out.

The tamer bounced and his mask was destroyed. The bottom of his foot was also crushed without any remains. Dust and debris began to cover the Tamer.

“You all step back and take care of Racita. I'll finish them all.” Vezda gave orders to all the Racita groups to approach Racita.

Vezda quickly killed all the people from the mysterious group. Then one of his bodies he saw the details he needed to confirm. Tattoo on the neck. The tattoo on the neck of the corpse he saw gave him enough information and it was confirmed that they were Fractional Demons or The Fragment Demons. The large group he once slaughtered in Araga.

“Quick to Racita!” Mira gives directions to Racita while carrying her bag and Vezda's to use her important ingredients.

“The wound will open again!” Nyllia approached Racita quickly with the others.

Nyllia helps Racita lie down properly, then Mira uses an Injector made by Vezda for physical recovery and mana. Then give a high level potion for total healing.

“Are we successful?” Celaena asked as she held onto her right hand which was aching from Ragnulf's kick just now.

“I attacked him with the intention of killing.” Ragnulf.

“There is no way Tamer will be fine after the attack given Kak Ragnulf and magic combined like that.” Clearly Syllia while continuing to be on guard.

“He's like a monster.” The joy said and began to rise again.

From behind the smoke and dust finally seen the silhouette of a man with a complete body.

“You almost killed me. However, this body of His beloved is unlikely to be destroyed so easily with such an attack.” The tamer walked back to them with a different appearance of her body.

His body regenerated without using potions or magic. His feet are also regenerating, but not like human feet. Ragnulf closely watched everything though it was still covered in smoke and dust.

“Cannot be. Astaroth Films.” Racita saw the figure of a man with jet black hair that was long and straight.

“Astaroth? Filmmaker?” Syllia slightly recalled what the adventurers on the 18th floor had said about Filman.

Filmmaker has the nickname Astaroth, he is a member of the Alliance that entered into the Fractional Demons. Filman hunted down many of the Alliance and became the mastermind of the 27th Floor Event a few years ago. He was killed and the last report is that his lower body was destroyed.

“What is a dead person doing here?” The young lady asked the film.

It's the same as on the 50th floor. Ragnulf and Syllia understood very well what was happening and were not surprised by what was to be seen next.

“Of course I'm dead, but I was given a chance to live by Him.” Fiman's body is visible and the lower half of his body is regenerating plant monsters, but it remains shaped like a human leg and on his chest is a very clear crystal.

Everyone there was shocked to see the figure of Filman turning into a plant monster. Every one of them was all confused as to why it could happen even Syllia and Ragnulf were still confused despite having fought Carlos who ended up the same way.

“Shin, you are really similar to Carlos.” Vezda came to the front of Filman by mentioning his real name.

“Oh, Vezda. I am confused why there are adventurers who dare to kill many other adventurers mercilessly.” The film says to Vezda.

“They are Demons, Fractional Demons. Am I going to stay silent to see them roam like that?” Vezda cadavers and cleanses both of his machetes from the blood of his enemies he has killed.

“As Carlos says. You're just a stupid human being and you're lucky enough to kill Carlos and Vina.” The film says mocking Vezda.

“Then what are you? A disgusting monster?” Vezda just said and smiled.

“Hahaha. I am a mixture of humans and monsters of course. I have the same strength as I used to plus the power of this incredible monster.” The film says with pride.

“Yang is right! Now the Demons have also sided with the monsters?! How many adventurers did you think died because of you? Even James!” Lilina directly said to Filman.

“Do not equate me with garbage that only ends up being played by Archon.” The film says while retrieving the corpse from the plant monster.

“I and Naea are from the same place. I am not Tamer, but all Naea will obey my command and see me as their mediator with Him. Then Cuscuta is a parasite that will continue to give birth to Naea. With the birth of Naea in large quantities here, it will slowly be easily sent to the surface.” Film raised the corpse of the plant monster and new plant monsters began to be born from the existing walls in the sector.

In the laws in Velt, a monster born from a monster would have a crystal quality that was very different and much inferior to its parent. That's something that's been confirmed since time immemorial. However, Naea or the plant monster is born from Cuscuta which is another plant monster with different and separate crystals does not even reduce the quality of the crystal. This is something against the law in Velt.

“Why? Why are you doing all this?” The young lady asked the film.

“To destroy Femi, master all the dungeons that exist in Velt, conduct an invasion on the surface, kill all the Archons, and revive the war between monsters and humans.” Vezda replied calmly, but everyone there was surprised not to play with what Vezda said.

“I was curious, how did you know that?” The film asks Vezda.

“Carlos and Vina never wanted to run something like this. They are forced and unlike you, Shin. Every one of your goals I have also understood well, but it seems he also does not know much about this problem.” Vezda.

“It turns out they're just useless insects to him. No wonder they deserve death for betraying Him.” The film says with great pride,

“Since long ago you never liked Carlos because he could master the Dance of Flowing Water until he could create a new technique. Isn't that your reason long ago? Even you left us first and killed your own family before leaving just because you couldn't get the ability of Carlos?” Vezda's words were very serious.

“Ho? Turns out you've pretty much observed everything well. But, I really wanted to kill them all.” The film says and laughs proudly, while the anger from Vezda continues to peak little by little.

“It's done? Your bullshit is just to buy time until your legs can heal as before, right?” Ragnulf asked Filman while paying attention to all his cavalry.

“You turned out to be paying good attention. I'm not alone anyway. You guys forgot about Cuscuta?” The film says that a new parasitic monster emerged from the ground and was very large when it approached.

“You must be kidding me!?” Lilina said as she looked at the enormous monster.

Cuscuta, a parasitic plant monster that gave birth to Naea. It was huge up to tens of meters and looked extremely terrifying from any angle. This time all the adventurers who were on the 24th floor in the western Feeding Zone had to fight against the giant monster.

“CUSCUTA!!! DESTROY THEM!” Filman gave the order and the giant plant monster was ready to overflow them all to death.

“DISPERATE!!!” Ragnulf shouted so that everyone could hear and everything immediately scattered so as not to be hit by Cuscuta.

“Blomer, Blorie!” Lilina calls the Folkr brothers who were saved by Vezda.

“We are fine.” Blorie replied to Lilina, but Blomer was still shocked by what had just happened.

“You two stay with the front line and do not get separated.” Vezda said and left them for Ragnulf.

Ragnulf kicked Cuscuta so powerfully using magic that was absorbed from his shoes. Unfortunately, the size is very large it does not give much effect.

“Ragnulf!” Vezda summoned Ragnulf and slashed Cuscuta with his two cursed machetes so that the wound on the monster could not be healed, but due to its enormous size, the attack still had no effect at all.

“Too big! I can't give you any meaningful effect!” Answer Ragnulf.

This fight will be very difficult. Cuscuta was tens of meters tall even bigger than the Boss Floor monsters present in the dungeon. This will mean nothing but searching for the crystal that is the core of the monster, looking for it is another matter. With such a huge monster Vezda was also overwhelmed despite already using the techniques he had.
