The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 33

After successfully defeating the five Goblins that blocked their path. Xi praised the performance of Airis who can defeat five Goblins easily.

It doesn't need to be on the fence anymore. With such high stats, even if there were more than ten Goblins, Airis could still defeat him easily.

“Good work, you really deserve it.”

“Thanks Mr.” While bowing and bowing his head.

“Now nothing is in the way. Come.” Invite Xi to continue this hunt. Xi understood, that this is not a real Dungeon. This was just the outside of the entrance that was inside the Dungeon. And those five Goblins were actually monsters living outside of the Dungeon.

It's a long way away. But they managed to get through it quickly.

At the end of the road, two burning torches were seen. And it was a torch that was used to illuminate the entrance of the Dungeon.

Right in front of the Dungeon entrance, there were several human corpses, as well as the corpses of monsters lying there.

The unpleasant rotten scent that they had been smelling all along was coming from this pile of corpses. And it seemed, Those people had no intention of cleaning it up. Or maybe because they are too lazy to do so, because events like this happen very often. It makes them bored, so forget about it and just leave it there.

After all, the foul aroma coming from within would not be smelled until it came out. So, there's no reason to think about it.

Xi walked over to the human body lying there. The color of his skin had changed to blue, it was due to the decomposition process of the corpse. That's a normal thing.

Although the stench is so strong and stinging to the nose. But, it was nothing for Xi who had already frequently smelled and tasted this kind of foul scent.

His duty as a soldier in the past has gone through a lot of crazy things. And these kinds of things have become her all-day activities. So, it can be said Xi is immune to this kind of foul aroma.

Because no one takes care of these bodies, and if it continues to be left it will be bad and the stench will be even more pungent.

Xi used his magic “[Flame]” to burn the corpses to dust. So that there will be no more people who are disturbed by the stench, and this will be a little more respectful to those who have died.

Xi just didn't want these corpses to be stepped on by the monsters that lived inside here later. Or the other adventurers who tried to take the treasures left behind. Although it seemed, the precious items they possessed had been taken by others before them.

There was a reason why Xi did not bury them. That was because, the structure of the ground within this Dungeon was extremely hard, and it felt like a solid rock. To bury them, it was difficult, if it was indeed easy, then there were already many funerals of people within this Dungeon. And the guards also did not need to repot bringing out the corpses of the dead people out of the Dungeon.

After all the bodies burned down, Xi started walking towards the entrance that was there. Open the door made of stone. There is nothing special about the door, just a plain stone door without any carvings there.

The door opened and the red light radiated out from within the Dungeon dazzled the eyes.

The bright light must make Xi protect his eyes by hand.

Quickly the red light faded away, displaying an appearance within a real Dungeon.

Xi and Airis went inside to see it more clearly. Upon arrival inside, the Dungeon's door closed by itself.

Airis was surprised, but Xi was not. This was Airis' first experience of entering the Dungeon. It was the same with Xi, but with such a phenomenon, it was not the first time.

Inside the Dungeon, it turned out that a fishy smell was also present. Xi and Airis took a look around, and right upon looking up at the Dungeon ceiling. There is clearly a skeleton, like a large skull of an animal.

[You have entered the Dungeon]

A notification received by each of them.

“Master, did you also see it?” To make sure what he saw was right, Airis asked Xi.

“Iya... It's Quest.” Xi read the notification. “So this is a condition to finish the dungeon? Or a condition for us to get out of this Dungeon?” Xi was a little confused. Because what is contained in the Quest is not mentioned to defeat the boss of the monster that controls this Dungeon.

The requirement to complete this Dungeon was to find a [Rune Stone] within the boss room. And to get to the boss room, Xi and Airis had to finish the first floor first. And the concept of this Dungeon was a tiered Dungeon.

To be able to pass through the first floor, and go to the second floor. Xi and Airis had to survive for three days and three nights on the first floor.

If it works, a message will appear informing them. After that, there will be a gift that will take them to go to the next floor.

“Questnya is to survive for three days. Dungeon like this is perfect for raising our level.”

The number of monsters that are many like endless and Wave monsters that can appear on a regular basis will be able to provide Exp in large numbers. Of course, the more monsters you defeat, the more Exp you get.

“Then sir. What are we supposed to do? Maybe this sounds easy because it only needs to last for three days. But this is also dangerous, because we do not know what kind of monsters are on the first floor.”

“You're right. It's dangerous too. Therefore, we must also be careful and do not be careless. Information we have can be said no.” Xi thought about what steps he should take. Although this Dungeon was often visited by adventurers, other adventurers were also very stingy to share the information they had.

It is not easy to open their mouths. Because information is power, and power is money.

That sounds bad, but, that's the truth. Without money, there would be no information.

“Let's move slowly, we need to know what kind of monsters live in here.”

Xi invited Airis to go deeper. Because, it seemed that on the front there was not a single monster standing guard.

Not knowing what the reason was, yet it looked desolate for a survival system. It's too easy.

Take advantage of the free time that existed before the monsters came and found them. Xi tried to walk and browse through this dungeon to find out the structure of this dungeon.

The longer they walked, the area of the dungeon felt increasingly widened. And the ceiling of the dungeon was also getting higher. However, it is clearly visible there is a skeleton like a backbone that supports the ceiling so as not to fall.

Looking at his bone age. It had been about two or three hundred years of his life. And this dungeon was formed not naturally by the ground, but this dungeon appeared due to the presence of a large, long-lived creature died.

There is no reason why this creature died. Xi suspects that this may be due to his age.

Keep looking at the ceiling, and it's getting higher but can still be reached if using [Fly] magic.

Xi concluded, after seeing all that. This giant creature is probably a giant turtle. Turtles are one of the creatures that are blessed with a long life.

A world where senseless things happen.

In general, turtles even though they have been aged up to a hundred years or more will not grow large, as big as a mountain.

But in reality, this is not a normal world. Where powerful creatures and large creatures like mountains exist in this world.

This world order is very different from other worlds. This world was able to hold countless kinds of power that didn't even make sense.

Even if the gods were to descend into the world, this world would not be destroyed.

Seeing his master constantly staring at the ceiling, Airis was confused and curious.

And to answer his curiosity, Airis asked. “Mr... Is something wrong? Why do you keep looking at the ceiling?”

“Nothing special. Only, now I know this dungeon was formed inside the body of a dead giant tortoise.”

“Ja so, you mean this was formed because of a dead living thing?”

“Yes, I don't know how, but in fact it was formed from a dead living thing.”

Xi muttered deeply.

‘If this dungeon was formed due to a dead living being, would I also be able to create a dungeon from the souls of the dead?’

That's a curiosity. However, of course there was no answer to his murmur.

It's the sound of footsteps. It can sound pretty loud. Hear from his voice, and the ground surface is shaking.

Xi and Airis realized that someone had come, and it seemed that the guests who had come were not few.

“Master..”

Xi nodded deeply. He's figured. “Brease.” He retrieved the Demon Snake Dagger from within the inventory. “They came.”
