The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 131 - Trial of the Dragon
“Eh?!” I was shocked to death to hear his words.
‘Did he really know about me?’ I thought in my heart.
“Ma-forgive me, immediately I will leave the place...”.
Before I could finish my words, the creature immediately cut him off.
“Fear me, O people. I am Ruderioss, the Ancient Dragon who rules over this entire sandy land!” Ruderioss said in a voice so loud that it was able to shake everything in this dark-filled place.
“Damn it! What can I do if I finally have to fight you. I'm gonna die cool you know?!” I shouted at Ruderioss while preparing my Staff of Enigma.
“Hahaha! Don't get me wrong, man! A creature like you is just an ant to me. Although hundreds of human legends like you gathered, it won't change the fact that I can step on you easily!” Shouted Ruderioss.
Instantly, there was a system notification with a bright red color that was quite scary for me.
...[.WARNING!!]...
...[.WARNING!!]...
...[.ANCIENT DRAGON RUDERIOSS HAD USED HIS POWER AS ONE OF THE ANCIENT DRAGONS!!]...
...[.DIMENSIONAL CHANGES ARE HAPPENING!!]...
...[%#%^@!%&!!]...
...[.THE ERROR!!!]...
“Damn it, what the fuck now? Wait for…. Isn't the notification like this..” I said to myself.
Instantly, the darkness that enveloped my entire gaze disappeared. Now, from the East to the West and the North to the South, there is only endless desert.
The extremely bright sky as well as the extremely scorching sunlight only aggravated this place.
“The power of this dimensional change…. Don't say similar to the one I have?!” I said to myself who is currently still confused by this situation.
I constantly turned my head in various directions to look for the existence of the Dragon.
Most Dragons do have wings to fly in the sky. Even so, it did not rule out the possibility that Ruderioss had a different form. Anyway, I've only seen his eyes since.
Before he could finish the confusion, there was a very loud sound from all directions.
“Hahaha! Don't equate my power with yours, man! I not only changed a little bit of the dimension, but turned this whole world into a desert! This is my power as one of the Ancient Dragons!” Ruderioss said in a very loud voice.
“All…. World?!”
Hearing his explanation, I could only be surprised. How not, I feel that my power to turn a small part of the place into my Dungeon is already incredible. But throwing people into a world filled only with deserts?
Isn't that too strong?! In other words, my death was confirmed here.
But as if wanting to lower me even more, Ruderioss spoke again.
“Although that, killing you with my power directly would only embarrass myself. Therefore, I will give you ease, O man! Stay in this world for 14 days. If you succeed, then I'll let you go. Not only that..”.
Hearing Ruderioss's words, I was a little relieved on one side but quite annoyed on the other.
How not? Survived for 14 days? Doesn't that mean I have to play for a full 34 hours in the real world? Isn't that dangerous enough for my body?
Ruderioss continued his words after pausing for a while.
“I'll also give you the treasure you want. Isn't that an interesting exchange, man? Tell me, will you accept my challenge?” Ruderioss continued with a voice that shook this world.
Instantly, a system notification appeared in front of me in bright red.
...[.Secret Quest!]...
...[.Ancient Dragon’s Trial]...
...[.Rank :???]...
...[.Mission]...
...Survive in this desert world for 14 days....
...[.Special notes by Supercomputer Genesis]...
...[.It is not recommended to accept this Quest because it is quite dangerous for the body in the real world. After receiving this Quest, the Log Out button will be locked for 14 days until it is complete or dead in the middle of running the Quest.]...
...[.The Quest Completion Prize]...
...[.Selecting 2 of Ruderioss's treasures, the Ancient Desert Dragon]...
...[.Consequences of Refusing the Quest]...
...[.The loss of the opportunity to challenge Ruderioss again]...
...[.Other consequences unknown]...
...[.Consequences of Quest Failure]...
...[.The loss of the opportunity to challenge Ruderioss again]...
...[.Other consequences unknown]...
...[.Are you going to receive this Secret Quest?]...
...[.Yeah] [No]...
Seeing this Quest notification really pisses me off. In any case, I must accept it to be able to obtain my 2 treasures of choice from Ruderioss. Even so, I don't want to harm my body. But….
After a few tens of seconds of careful thought, I have decided on it.
“I will accept your challenge, Ruderioss. I will show you my ability by surviving 14 days in this world!” I shouted while pressing the [Yes] button in front of me.
“Good choice, Man. I'll see what the power of a Legend of the Human Race is like here. Don't disappoint me, man!” Ruderioss said in that very loud voice.
The system notification appeared before me again.
...[.The Log Out button has been locked for 14 days!]...
...[.Player : Eric can't leave this world for 14 days unless he has a death in this world!]...
...[.The system will warn if the condition of the body in the real world worsens!]...
...[.When that happens, the system will give you the option to forcibly thwart the Quest or to continue!]...
...[.Genesis has communicated this condition to the emergency contact listed on Player ID: Eric!]...
...[.Company Staff Re:Life has been on standby for the worst conditions!]...
Simultaneously, something appeared moving beneath this vast desert. After a while, the true figure was immediately seen. The name and level of the figure that appeared from under the desert was clearly visible before me.
...[.Desert Lizard.]...
...[.Level 231]...
It is a lizard-like monster that stands on two legs and scales thick enough to be yellow. They use equipment like Warriors that are quite complete.
...[.Desert Draconic]...
...[.Level :287]...
It is a monster that resembles a dragon but with a human form. His body was scaly yellow which was similar to sand. Its main weapons are its sharp claws as well as extremely high physical abilities.
...[.Sandworms]...
...[.Level :312]...
It is a giant worm that is over 10 meters long. They moved very quickly by diving into this sea of sand. Their large mouths were filled with extremely numerous and sharp teeth.
...[.Giant Elephant]...
...[.Level :243]...
It is a giant elephant with a height of 8 meters more. Some of them even reach a size of 12 meters. Its main strength is exceptional body resistance and body size is too large.
...[.Sabertooth...
...[.Level 198]...
It is a tiger-like monster with teeth as sharp as a sword. Its extremely fast and agile movements made this monster extremely terrifying.
...[.Desert Dragon]...
...[.Level :389]...
It is a four-legged dragon with giant wings on its back. The length reaches 12 meters more with a height of 5 meters. Its extremely thick and hard yellow scales made the sword completely incapable of scratching it.
“Really…. Ruderioss, how strong are you to be able to create a world filled with such monstrous monsters? You were even able to create dozens of these desert dragons in an instant? Hahaha..” I said to myself after understanding the situation around me.
Tens of thousands of monsters of various types appeared from all directions. They move at different speeds. But their goal is the same: to kill me.
“I guess, surviving for 14 days in this world is not as easy as my shadow. Let's see how long I can last!!!” I shouted while preparing my various magic and ran in a direction.
