The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 46 [New Dungeon Emerging ]
A boy climbed the stairs to reach the high shelf in the library. After finding the book he was looking for, the boy read it for a while. If he is not interested or already understands, the book will be immediately returned to its original place.
"AQUAAA!!!!!!!" screams of an Elf girl.
Aqua peeked at her cousin's girl who was running quickly towards her.
"Sister Rin.it's a library, you know," he said.
"I know, okay! But this is important!!!!!!" argue that the boy does not want to lose.
Aqua sighed, the boy came down from the stairs and approached his cousin.
"What's wrong? Was it so important that you made a fuss in the library?"
"Fufufu... Don't be surprised! We found a new dungeon!!!!!!"
"!!!?"
"Dungeon just said?!!!" startled Aqua.
"Really! Hows it? It's pretty amazing, isn't it?!" show off the girl.
"It's not an amazing level anymore, brother!"
< Dungeon >
A place that is not directly connected to this dimension. After you enter the dungeon, you are like entering a different dimension. Even if the outside of the dungeon was snowy, inside it could have been the Desert. Inside the dungeon was filled with monsters and treasures. The biggest difference between monsters in dungeons and outside dungeons is their level of strength and intelligence.
Most monsters within dungeons were much stronger than monsters outside of dungeons, as well as much more intelligent as well. Of course according to the rank. The treasures and items obtained from within the dungeon were of better quality than items of the same level.
Aqua let out an incomprehensible expression. On the one hand happy, on the other hand panicked and excited.
"The formation of a new dungeon is not a good sign. But it's still profitable. The problem is because it's new, it's definitely unknown."
"The formation of dungeons was extremely rare. It can be up to 1000 years. Whether it's luck or bad luck."
"What are the characteristics of the dungeon, brother?"
"Since the dungeon was formed not far from the Elf Forest, it could be claimed as part of the Vittacelar Kingdom. We've already sent people to research it, it looks like it's a tower dungeon type down. It's not known how many floors there are, anyway" Citrine said.
"Tower-type Dungeon down?! That's nice! This type of Dungeon has low to high level monsters according to the floor. Each of the monsters could not leave the floor either. So that's a great place to level."
Aqua clasped Citrine's hand with shining eyes.
"Sister..."
"Yes! Aye! I knew! I'll take you!" citrine screams can't bear to see her sister's cute behavior.
Aqua's face immediately beamed. The boy immediately hugged Citrine with a happy face.
"Thank you brother!!!!"
Citrine had just first seen Aqua acting like that. Aqua was indeed a warm and kind child, but she was not spoiled and acted childishly. So Citrine feels this rare moment should not be missed just like that. The girl returned Aqua's embrace happily.
"Haha! Who was I!"
Aqua raised her face.
"So, when do we go?!" ask the boy excited.
"We'll leave after Kak Turky's work is done. Maybe day after tomorrow? Ah, sister also said you can bring your friends along too."
"Well.that's great! Thanks so much!!!"
Back then, overjoyed to hear of a new dungeon, Aqua was unaware of anything suspicious. No, or maybe the kid doesn't want to suspect it.
And that would be Aqua's greatest regret later on.
...***...
Turquoise smiled amiably.
"Are you guys ready? The level of the 1st floor of the dungeon was 50. Maybe we can go in some floors," he said.
"Ready!!!"
"Oho~ if someone sees this, they'll think you found the dungeon, you know!" timpal Citrine with a mocking smile.
"Haha!"
Several times we fought throughout the journey. In fact, the five people get along quite well and have fun and trust each other. They arrived at the dungeon that Citrine and Turquoise meant.
From the front does not look like a dungeon, just an ordinary cave that is quite rubbed in the forest.
"We've arrived, prepare yourselves!"
In this party, Turquoise took on the role of party leader.
"All right!!"
Aqua as damage dealer, Yue as mage, Lix as assassin support and Citrine as archer and priest.
The monster they encountered on the first floor was an ordinary D rank monster. The monster was a horde of goblins. Actually just one of them was enough to defeat him. But being careless in a dungeon was the same as looking to die.
They managed to defeat every monster that stood in their way with quite good teamwork. The dungeon's difficulty would increase along with their descent. Originally only a D rank monster, over time became an A rank monster.
"Huh. hahh... Looks like we've come a long way."
Lix wiped away the sweat on his face.
"Lix is right. It has not been 1 day and we have reached the 24th floor. Let's take a break.My legs will break..."
Citrine sat next to the dungeon wall. The girl slid her legs in exhaustion.
"Yue hungry... Aqua! Can I eat first?" the little girl asked as she held her stomach.
"Maybe we should take a break for a while" proposes Aqua.
Turquoise seemed to still want to enter longer, but he could not ignore their colleagues. So he chose to rest for a while.
Aqua took out the food stored in the inventory before the exploration began. They eat voraciously without loosening their alertness.
"Unfortunately, flying and teleportation magic cannot be used here." Citrine lamented.
"Yes, I understand why I can't. I mean, there's a lot of flying-type monsters we're dealing with. It would be easy if we could fly too. If it's teleportation, I think the creator of this dungeon is cruel enough to not allow those who have entered directly out" Aqua explained.
"This is only the 24th floor and has reached the A rank monster. This must be a high-level dungeon. It could be that the 50th floor and above are no longer our level," Turquoise said seriously.
"Therefore, let's end this on the 25th floor. We'll go home after."
There's no contradiction there. Everyone agreed to end this exploration on the 25th floor. They were too tired to go any further, yet still strong enough to face 1 more monster.
"Come on, brother! My man can still for one more floor!" answer Aqua.
"You've done Mana Coercion 2x. Are you all right?" ask Citrine to worry.
Aqua smiled to clear Citrine's worries.
"It's okay. My limit is up to 3x. If it's just this much, my body can still hold it."
"Don't force yourself. Rely on your party members as well" Turquoise suggested.
Aqua nodded happily. Compared to fighting alone, having a party was indeed beneficial.
"All right! Just get some rest, let's get this over with and get back together!"
"OK!!!"
