The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 117 - Conquest of Dungeon 2
“No monsters?” Said one of the players in this Dungeon subjugation army.
The number of troops that were originally larger than 12,000 people now only remains as many as 7,500 people. It was still a huge amount, but the losses they suffered were quite terrible.
While at this time, they began to breathe a sigh of relief in this mist-filled cave. Unaware of the danger that awaits them.
The fog zone is a zone that has absolutely no monsters, except on the 10th floor which is only 1 monster. Including traps in this zone are only 2 types.
[Thick Fog] that would produce a thick white mist that restricted the views of the Dungeon conquerors. This trap was always on and filled this entire fog zone with a thick white mist.
While the second trap is a trap disguised with the fog. [Poison Gas] that gives off gas with a slightly greenish color. Even so, the color was not so visible behind this thick fog. The smell? There's nothing at all.
While the effect is deadly.
[Providing the Poison effect to anyone who inhales it]
[Poison effect can be stacked up to 20 times]
[Each stack of Poison effects will deal 200 damage per second]
[Damage caused ignoring all existing defenses]
This stack or stack effect will increase the longer a person inhales this poisonous gas. Of course, this poison effect is quite easy to neutralize by using antidote or antidote potions. But it'll all be free when the invaders aren't ready.
That's because….
“Hei! Didn't we enter the safe zone?!” Shouted one of the players.
“Yes, I think this is one of the safe zones that have no traps and monster ambushes.”
“Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief!”
Everyone began to lower their guard. Including General Agmar.
“Alright! Since this is a safe zone, then we will rest here first!” Shouted General Agmar.
Contact all NPCs and Players immediately sat on the ground. They started drinking the healing potion while recovering their stamina. Some NPCs appeared to have prepared food for some people.
In fact, they had just invaded and passed through the Ruins Zone for 1 to 2 hours only. But they look so exhausted. It is natural because the pressure is so great in the previous zone.
No one was careful. Everyone started to lower their vigilance and even started to joke around with each other.
‘Tick…. Tick...’
I heard a clockwork sound. This voice was very slow and almost impossible to listen to.
That is, the activation requirements of the second trap [Poison Gas] that will activate after a certain time lag the invaders enter the 6th floor.
For the 7th to 10th floor? All the poison gas has been activated and awaits them.
Fortunately for the players, because system notifications warn of the situation that occurs.
[You've been exposed to the effects of poison!]
[You have received 200 damage per second!]
[You've been exposed to the effects of poison!]
[You have received 400 damage per second]
It all happened instantly.
“Uhuk! Buaah!!”
“Damn it! What ugh...”.
Everyone started to look and bleed. Some of them were even seen scratching their chests.
Who has a high level?
“We're going to run away! Anyone who can run straight off the floor.”.
‘DUUUAAARRR!!!’
I heard a very loud voice. From a distance, it appears that the entrance connecting between the 6th floor and the stairs to the 5th floor has been tightly closed. A giant door made of iron.
Destroyed it? It is possible, but it is very difficult to do in conditions filled with poison gas like this.
“Damn it! We have been wrong for entering this Dungeon without any preparation ma.... Uhuk!!!”
Hundreds of people had fallen in an instant. They died because the effects of the poison had accumulated up to the 10th stack. In other words, they would receive 2,000 damage every second just by being in this giant cave.
The NPCs and Players immediately took out their Antidotes. Some people who did not carry it in their pockets, or in Inventory for players had to crawl into the pile of equipment carried by the Supporter squad.
The outcome?
In just 5 minutes, more than 3,000 people have been killed.
I saw him quite satisfied on one side, but very upset on the other.
“Don't I already ask to set a trap so that it's not too difficult? It's free if they all die and can't make it to the 20th floor.
That's because they'll think this Dungeon is impossible to conquer and won't come back here a second time.” I said to Oliver who is in charge of overseeing the construction of this Dungeon.
“I'm sorry, My Lord. But I've set up and set that trap to be as weak as possible. I didn't think they'd die that easy.” Reply Oliver.
Lucien who was listening to my conversation with Oliver immediately joined in to give his opinion.
“Tuanku. What if we disable the entire trap as soon as only a few people remain? In addition, maybe we can also finish off the monsters that came out of Spawn Point.
As for the floor guards who act as ‘Zone Boss’ which is very deadly, we can evacuate them to Dungeon Origin.”
Lucien's explanation makes perfect sense. After all, I just want them to feel the ease of this Dungeon along with the challenges that exist. After that, I have to show the wealth that is on the 20th floor and then finish them off as the Boss of this Dungeon.
That way, people would flock to attempt to complete this Dungeon.
Therefore, if they were only a few people left then….
“Keep watching them! As soon as their number is below 100, kill all the monsters. Lucien, pull down the entire Boss in each Zone. They are too precious to die.
After all, they were not ordinary monsters that would respawn after they died. In the future, they would become killing machines that would finish off anything that colonized this Dungeon. Understand?”
I explained the command at length.
“I understand, My Lord. I'll do it soon.” Lucien immediately nodded and went to the 21st floor to use the Teleportation Circle and pick up the entire Zone Boss present.
“Oliver, you get ready to bring some of your subordinates and break all the traps. Including, finish off all the monsters that were there. You can do it without getting hurt with traps and monster raids yourself right?” I asked Oliver.
“Of course, My Lord. I'll be on standby starting from the 10th floor.” Reply Oliver while immediately going towards the 21st floor to use the teleportation magic circle.
Liz and Tasmith?
They were still by my side to help me keep an eye on the movements of those Dungeon conquering forces.
...***...
...Dungeon Treasure's...
...Fog Zone...
...10 Floor...
“Huh…. Damnit…. Will this time again appear traps like on the previous floor?” General Agmar asked with a very tired breath.
Not only that, he also appears to cover his nose and mouth with a thick cloth. All of that was for the sake of reducing the effects of the poison entering his body.
Almost 3 hours have passed since the riot that occurred on the 6th floor due to the appearance of poison gas. Although they should be able to get to the 10th floor quickly, they could only walk slowly while continuously gulping down Antidote and Health Potion.
Their numbers?
There are only 6 people left.
“Agmar, isn't this Dungeon too horrible?” Asked a lady with that type of magician with a face full of fear.
“No! We alone are too careless to enter this dungeon without careful preparation and rely on only a large amount! Honestly, I want to get out of here right now.” Reply to a man with a two-handed long sword. A Warrior type.
“But we can't go back. The whole door closes just after we pass it. Despite being able to return, the monsters on the 1st to 5th floor are still waiting for us.” Obviously a girl with a harp in her left hand.
“How about your Potion supplies? Is it still enough to withstand the poison that will appear on this floor?” Ask a man with a thin body. His ninja-like equipment made clear his status as an Assassin.
“Any…. I don't feel any poison on the 10th floor! Even...” Said a girl dressed like a priest who was all white with blue grooves. It is very clear that he was a healer or healer.
“You're right! In fact…. Some land seems to have damage?!” Shouted Agmar. He is a Tanker with heavy armor equipment that is now starting to look rather outdated.
And so….
The remaining 6 players on the 10th floor, continue the colonization of this Dungeon. They continued to move very carefully at every step, making their exploration very long.
Without them realizing it, all the monsters and traps that were installed had been destroyed by Oliver and his Elite subordinates.
