Just as I guessed st evening, the floor was ah floor. But this isn’t what I was expeg at all. What we faced was a massive underground cavern, filled with falling dripstones, and all.
And the mohat lived in this cave thingy were ros, stone golems, earth golems and so forth. All the golems.
“... Brian… how do we get past this?” Lua asked. “We ’t just fly here.”
“That’s true. But if you ’t fly, you have to walk. And if you ’t safely walk on the ground, make an underground path. Drillroid.” I summoned a monster.
Spoiler
[colpse]My idea was this. If the area we see is too dangerous, we’ll just make our own path. And for that, Drillroid is perfect, so I ordered him to make us a path towards where Laura assumed the floor boss would be.
The tunnel he dug wasn’t that tall, but it was still more than enough. Then, for safety reasons, so we won’t run out of air, I summoned Spirit of the Breeze to circute the air in our tunnel.
Spoiler
[colpse]Once we emerged from the tunnel, we were within the visual distance of the floor boss. Anolem, but this one looked like it was made of metal. A metal golem. More specifically, a mithril golem.
“... Brian? How do you fight a mithril golem?” Alice asked. “Do we just … attatil it dies?”
“We could, but I want to test something out first. you all deal with the olems? I’ll take care of that mithril golem.”
“Sure.” Alice agreed. “But I get a mithril on made from it?”
“... A mithril swordstaff, huh? I think I do that.”
“Thanks. I knew I could t on you.” After Alice thanked me, she flew into the air with her Mana Flight, ao suppress the stone golems that were starting to surround us.
… wasn’t it part of our pn to not fight? Well, whatever. I guess we fight a bit. As long as Alice doesn’t level up too many times, we should be fine. Avoiding level up siess is holy the only reason I’ve kept Alice, Lua and Ria from fighting too much. I ’t get it, because I’m already at the level cap.
Anyway. Back to that mithril golem. And what I want to try with it.
“System Down!” I activated a card.
Spoiler
[colpse]
When I got it, Laura said that System Down should work oal golems, so I wao test it. And with Health scious ing the o pay that 1000 HP, there was no reason not to try it.
And it worked. The mithril golem before us just … well, it disappeared. Vanishing from existehat included everything about it, including all that sweet mithril I could have used.
… well, System Down worked, but it might not be a good idea to use it. Materials are too important to just banish. But at least this firms that banishing S-rank monsters is possible, so that is a good way to get rid of them in cases where speed is of utmost importance.
“Brian! You promised.” Alipined, as we walked towards the floor.
“I know. I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was just going to disappear.” I defended myself. “And I did p order for mithril in Vist Hills metal shop, so we just use that.”
“That is a promise, right? You won’t just say no ter, right?”
“Yes. That is a promise. I’ll make you the best swordstaff this world has ever seen.” I promised Alice, before I added a timeframe. “Eventually. But before that, I’ll make you a mithril swordstaff.”
“Thanks.” Alice beamed me a smile. “But if that was a lie, you’d better get used to waking up to a Dark Burning Attack every m.”
“I’d prefer not to burn, so I’ll do my best.”
“... it's not light?” I questioned whe to the floor. I had expected this floor to be light attribute based, sidering the forests, but it was wind. And not a floor I was the biggest fan of.
There were mountain tops, ected by rope bridges, and we would have to move on those. The winds were super strong, and would be knog you around while on that unstable footing, and to add to that, the room had plenty of griffins, ready to attack you on the spot. In short, this was a nightmare for anyone who has a fear of heights. Well, its not like it would be fun for anyone else either. Except maybe for me.
“Son riding time again.” I deduced.
“That might be for the best.” Lua agreed. “It will take us a while to get through this floor otherwise.”
“I want to get to the dark floor.” Alice added.
“Well, it might be … Anyway. What dragon to … oh? Yes. e forth, Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!” I called forth my monster. I already gave Neo Ultimate its ce to have fun, so why not Alternative Ultimate.
Spoiler
[colpse]He was going to be our offensive power for the floor, so now we just needed our rides. I summoned King Dragun and Thousand Dragon for that. I was on King Dragun with Alice, while Ria and Lua shared Thousand Dragon. Agunan still had to fly himself.
Spoiler[colpse]King Dragun was iing to ride, sidering his stitution, but his shoulders made for det seating spots.
The boss of the floor was another S-rank monster. A giant dor. An enormous bird rivaling the size of the Ro the Valley of Haze I gave Christina. A bird the size of a dragon.
Spoiler
[colpse]
It attacked us with a mixture of wind magic, as well as its owhers, which it shoot out at super high speeds. But with my Alternative Ultimate Dragon on the job, the bird didn’t stay in the air for too long, and we were able to head to the floor.
“...snow? Wasn’t this supposed to be a light floor, not water?” Alice asked.
“No. This is most definitely a light floor. The sun is just behind a cloud at this point.” I told her. “O es out, this snow will reflect the sunlight, and we will get almost blinded.” I warned her.
Yeah. Snowy pins now. I was holy a bit afraid we would go blind, but it wasn’t quite that bad. … well, I still want sungsses, but no do. Also, the temperature wasn’t too cold, so we were just fine on that front. The windy floors were a lot colder.
The enemies on the floor were rainbow-horned rabbits. They are rge, human sized rabbits, and as you might have guessed, they have a rainbow horn. They use it to shoot light magid they also move quickly as anything, rivaling the speed of Ria’s Flicker Step. The only good news was that they have paper thin defense, so almost any direct attack from any of us would put them down.
To help us with that, I activated The Regution of Tribe, and decred beast-type.
Spoiler
[colpse]That prevehe rabbits from attag, making them basically harmless pets. Sure I had to tribute a monster every 15 minutes for the card, but that is a small price to pay for ease of mind.
At first we just walked, but eventually I summoned Oni Tank T-34 and XYZ-Dragon on so we could ride them. You couldn’t get inside XYZ-Dragon on, and the T-34 only had o at the turret, so we took turns sitting there. The others would have to hang out outside, 'enjoying' the blinding sunlight.
Spoiler[colpse]The boss of the floor was once again S-rank, a sor wolf. It was a rge wolf-monster, probably teers from head-to-tail, and it shot out sers. While The Regution of Tribe did prevent it from actually attag, it was still shining sht that is was difficult to look at it straight, so I just ended up b it with XYZ-Dragon on’s effetil it died. Sure I had to discard five Outstanding Dogs, but I would say it was worth it.
Spoiler
[colpse]
“... and now it is dark… Was it not enough to be blinded, now we are shoved into the night.” I pined a bit.
Holy, I had half expected this. A blinding floor could only be followed by a floor that was pletely dark. And not dark like that nighttime forest, but dark like … well, just plete darkness. No light anywhere.
“Should I use a Shine Ball to make us light?” Lua asked.
“Probably. But it might also attract moo us. If I had to guess, this floor is filled with mohat attay light source.”
“Do you have a better idea?”
“I do. Light of Intervention.” I activated a card.
Spoiler
[colpse]
The card lit up the dark room, revealing tons of human sized monsters. Well, maybe ghosts would be a better description. They were specters, to be precise. They hide in the shadows people cast and attack from there. But because my spell lit up the entire room, there were no shadows left for them to hide in. But I have to say, what a genius floor. If you use a mur light source, like the Shine Ball spell of a torch, you’d cast a shadow the monsters would be able to hide in. So as you ’t see any of the specters, you might assume that it is safe to just go forward.
But we didn’t have any of those problems, thanks to my card, so we could just gh the floor, while using the specters that didn’t really know what to do as target practice. Luckily this is a rogue dungeon, because if this dungeon had a DM who was trying to keep us out, I think he would be pulling his hair out by now.
The boss of the floor oher hand was a dulhan, with a headless horse and everything. I actually found it an iing boss, because the soft glow of the fmes ing from both the dulhan and horse’s necks gave enough light where we would cast nice shadows, had I not lit up the room with my trap card. So while the dulhan took our attention, the specters would have been able to attack us from our blind spots.
Again, quite the genius strategy. Sadly, it was wasted on us.
“Shinato, King of a Higher Pne!”
Spoiler
[colpse]“Shinato, destroy that dulhan.” I anded my fairy/angel guy.
Shinato got into bat with the dulhan, while the rest of us focused on the specters. But the dulhan, without the help from the specters, really couldn’t hang in there, aually went down to a Divine Ring attack from Shinato.
“I guess this is a good pce to stop for the day.” I said to everyone, after we had left the darkness room.
“Agreed. How long do you think this dungeon will be?” Lua asked.
“No clue. I think we are between floors 47 and 48 at the moment, and sidering that we have been running into S-rank boss monsters, floor 50 might be the st.”
“Brian, do you think the st boss will be SS-rank, like the behemoth was?” Alice asked.
“... probably.” I admitted.
“Will we be able to deal with it?”
“Of course. Why couldn’t we? You’ve do before, and noill use my entire arsenal of cards, so of course we will win.”
“I-if you say so…”
“You make it sound so easy…” Lua added.
“Well, it might not be, but I think we do it.”
“Don’t worry Master. As long as I am by your side, even something like an SS-rank will be easy.” Agunan said, even though I recall him saying he would have to go all out against a behemoth.
“Yeah. We will just deal with it, when it es to it.” I told everyone. “Right?”
“Yes!” They all responded.
With our enthusiasm for tomorrow set, we set up camp and got ready to rest for the night.
