The Dragon Lord System
S3 - 82

With great anticipation, I slowly pushed the giant gate in front of me.

Inevitably, such a bright beam of light shot out from the cracks of the gate, almost making my eyes burn.

So this is the secret? The mysterious room behind this gate.

But, like a cliche drama, the light slowly dimmed, giving me a chance to observe further.

I entered the room, my steps heavy with a burning fear and curiosity. And in front of me lay an unexpected sight.

A very large room, so spacious that it is almost hard to believe. But the most striking are the gemstones scattered all over the floor of this room.

They glittered in various colors and sizes, like an endless expanse of treasure.

I could hardly believe what I saw, as if I were in a fairy tale or a fantasy game.

While feeling a little skeptical, I grabbed one of the gemstones that were near my feet.

And at that moment, a smooth cracking sound was heard

No... The gemstone is actually a crystal?

With a feeling of confusion, I tried to remove one of the "crystals.

Cracks...

Cracks...

I feel a bit stupid in this situation. It turned out that what I saw as "the gemstone" was just ordinary crystal.

No wonder the magic energy that usually felt powerful within the gemstone was not in this grasp.

I looked at the crystal with a bored face, like a child who had just been told that his favorite candy was running out.

But, if there is one thing I am good at, it is the gemstone and everything related to it.

I felt like I was an expert in the world of gemstones. Every day I eat and study gemstones to explore their magical potential.

So, you could say, I am an expert in this "field.

Slowly, I put the crystal back into place and continued the exploration of this vast room.

Who knows, there may still be many mysteries waiting to be solved in this place.

I stepped slowly through the room filled with colored crystals.

There was a black crystal stone that looked like stars had fallen from the night sky, a red crystal stone that emitted a smoldering aura like embers of fire, and a white crystal stone that shines brightly like snow in the sun.

Countless variations of color and crystal shapes adorned this room, and most interestingly, some crystals even lit themselves up like fluorescent lights.

It seems that I have entered into a world full of shiny crystals.

I walked through the floor filled with sharp crystals. Although it looked dangerous, I did not feel any pain at all when my dragon's foot touched the crystals.

It felt as if I was stepping on a smooth and soft surface.

I couldn't help but smile amusedly when I realized that my decision to focus on improving defense stats had proved its worth.

I don't know what's waiting in this room, I'm ready to face it.

I feel more confident in the power I have now.

It was then that I began to realize the difference between me and Vael. I glanced back quickly, and sure enough, Vael was walking gracefully over those sharp crystals.

In fact, it seemed that he was not disturbed at all. I couldn't help but smile, maybe I was too worried about him.

"Is that the intuition of a parent?" I murmured in my heart.

Vael seemed aware of my gaze, and I could see how he directly lowered his head.

I continued to step closer to the giant crystal, and the closer I felt admiration for its size that exceeded my large body.

I pondered for a moment, is there a possibility that this crystal is something more than just an ordinary crystal?

I slowly got near the huge crystal mound, and curiously, I grabbed it carefully.

It felt strange, I could feel a gentle tremor in my palm as I touched it.

The magic energy I recognize.

"Hmm. This is strange," I murmured softly to myself, but with a curious smile on my face.

"Since when can a crystal stone have magic energy?"

I momentarily pondered, as if doubting my knowledge all along.

But of course, as a lazy dragon who likes to eat rocks I also always learn, I know that new discoveries are always possible.

Carefully, I decided to test my theory.

Quickly, I punched the crystal that stood like a tower in front of me.

Cracks...

A crisp sound filled the room as the crystal pieces were cut off from the huge mound. I looked back at the crystal piece in my hand.

"Cretek.." The voice echoed in the room, perhaps also reflecting my disbelief in this discovery.

My large body was lowered as I more closely observed the crystal.

An unusual fragrance came out, and it was as if calling out to me. I tried to smell it closer, as if trying to figure out what made it so appealing.

And at that moment, something extraordinary happened. That scent not only tempted my sense of smell, but also my tongue.

The sudden hunger pangs in my stomach seemed to signal that this crystal might have more properties than just ordinary crystals.

my hunger is so strong and cannot be ignored. Without thinking any further, I took the decision to .

Indomitable, I bit the piece of crystal.

The sound of krunchh was heard as my teeth broke through the dense crystal.

There was no resistance, just a strange sensation that made my teeth continue to tear the crystal.

An even stranger sound was heard as I swallowed the crystal.

And at that very moment, I felt something extraordinary.

Really, it tastes delicious!

I felt like I had found a hidden treasure.

But of course, in addition to pleasure, comes the big question:

I was still astonished as I chewed and ate the crystals in my mouth and just then there was also a bright and increasingly bright crystal sparkle, suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed completely.

Like magic that suddenly possessed every crystal, this entire place turned into an incredible sight.

The colorful light emitting from the crystals creates a mesmerizing look, like a festival of light that hypnotizes the eye.

However, that beauty was immediately interrupted by the tremors emerging from below.

A small earthquake shook the entire room, making the crystal walls rumble. But what was most surprising was the change that occurred to the giant crystal mound in front of me.

With a sharp kretek sound, the mound began to move.

Kretek.

And amidst that tremor, the crystal mound that originally looked like a huge ornament suddenly started to enlarge.

Slowly but surely, as part of the small quakes that occurred, the mound revealed something extraordinary.

With wide eyes, I watched as part of the originally hidden crystal mound began to open, like a flower blooming from its bud.

And at that very moment, in the midst of the brightness of the colorful light, a figure appeared.

That was...

A huge crystal monster, a crystal golem creature that emitted a loud roaring sound, rattled the entire room.

ROAAARR...

It seems that the existence of this monster does not trigger the fear that usually arises in situations like this.

For some reason, it was as if there was a strange calmness encompassing me.

However, despite not feeling any fear, a sense of alert remained within me as I looked at this crystal creature that was getting closer with its heavy steps.

...[.BOSS DUNGEON] LV.???...

...[.Lithos the Crystal Colossus...

...Description: The invincible crystal golem, destroys its enemies with a sharp crystal attack....

Lithos the Crystal Colossus, once the name of this monster was emanated above his body, was like a hologram projection creating an aura of mystery in the surroundings.

It seemed, he was the boss of this dungeon, and his level was a great mystery.

But one thing was certain, he had the ability of a deadly attack by using the sharp crystals hidden in his body.

Looking closely, I could clearly see how Lithos looked.

Its body resembled a large wolf decorated with gray armor and a reddish hue on its legs and ankles.

But the most striking thing was the long crystal protruding behind his body, like a natural weapon.

This really made me even more curious about this creature.

No wonder I feel like I'm playing an enigmatic RPG game.

That majestic figure of Lithos was increasingly dominating the room, and my gaze was met with a sharp look.

It was as if there was an inner fight going on between us, not knowing what came to mind in this crystal golem.

Although our size difference is striking—15 meters in height compared to 5 metersku—but strangely, the feeling of fear seems to be replaced by the strange confidence that grows in me.

Is this the influence of my new skill? or is it the effect of leveling me up?

I'm still pondering..

And at that moment...

"FUCKING LIZARD! HOW DARE YOU EAT MY BODY!" The voice shrieked and filled the entire room, as if trying to break the crystals around him.

As it turned out, Lithos, the Crystal Golem, had quite a surprising speech ability.

I watched with raised eyebrows as the voice came from the direction of Lithos.

He actually let out an angry expression and seemed to be actually communicating with a threat that was very real, or at least real in his view.

The wolf crystal monster brought its giant head closer to me, its voice breaking the silence of the room.

I was slightly amazed by his impressive height and the blazing hue of crystal color on his body.

But, for some reason, my first reaction was a small laugh.

His voice was so angry and full of threats, like the screams of a little boy who lost his favorite toy.

I tried to assuage my laughter, but a serious expression immediately replaced it.

"I'LL FINISH YOU OFF MERCILESSLY, YOU FUCKING LIZARD!" The shout boomed again, echoing on the crystal walls.

I pondered for a moment, observing the figure of Lithos with attention.

At that instant, the body of the giant crystal monster named Lithos moved swiftly, its claws and huge hands slashing towards me like lightning.

BAM!!!

The thump shook the entire room, as if the world was shaking from the impact of his attack.

It was clear that Lithos possessed extraordinary strength.

Dust flew all over the room, shrouding visibility and creating an increasingly dramatic atmosphere.

.........

"DAD!" Vael's screams filled the room with deep concern, his voice sounding as if he was screaming in worry.

Although Vael's heart was sliced because he had been yelled at and yelled at by his father before, he still stood firm, emitting an aura of devotion to protect him.

His eyes were red-hot, burning like the unstoppable embers of anger.

"LOWER DOG! HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY FATHER!" Vael's clash carried a thunderous fury, and his gaze turned into something much more terrifying – was almost like a demonic figure filled with grudges and fury.

With no more words, Vael quickly took out his main weapon from his inventory.

And he drew his golden black bow, his main weapon glittering with a golden-white aura.

He grasped it tightly, preparing to unleash a fierce attack on the giant crystal Golem that dared to challenge his father.

"[DIVINE SHOT]!" Emotion-filled screams slid from Vael's lips, accompanied by quick and precise movements.

An arrow emerged from his bow, shining brightly with a holy aura, carrying an incredible power.

The arrow rushed towards Lithos, bringing hope to end the threat that lay before him.
