Chapter 18 - Exploring Dungeon Bonus 'Phase 5'
The night of victory had yet to be fully achieved, even after that life gamble. Seconds every second replaced by minutes, then taken the task by the clock, the three of us make the best use of time to recover the body and Ergon as much as possible.
Because my wounds were not as bad as the two of them, I got up from a short sleep. Back to this ground floor. However, after the war it all turned 180 degrees from its origin. This time, the barrenness of the latest foothold by the beautiful fertility that I had never seen. The sky – the sky is also different, the concentration of red blood has been dashed into the blue of the sea.
“Crazy, whatever happens in my sleep.” I was amazed to see the panorama given here.
“Yes, this is the smelting phase, the last thing you should do after this.” Sahut Mashiro, make clear my words.
“Fluing yes...”.
“True, where your life and death are questioned. No matter how hard you try, if this dungeon doesn't accept it, Dead is your last title.”
Not less than a few minutes later, Taka woke up. Without a groan of pain from his wound, he remained steadfast to stand up.
“Ta – Taka?!” I watched him wake up.
“Halo...let's immediately continue our last trip.” The reply, seeing the curves of his injured body with his leisure.
“This child.... is very relaxed in all situations, at least your expression should not be too relaxed. Life and death are at stake.” Mumbles.
“Mikadzuki still fainted yes, it looks like Mind Down - its severe.”
Taka said it while cleaning the dust that was stuck in the clothes and then approached Mikadzuki.
“Iya, so…. He has often experienced Mind Down huh?”
“Often, her small and cute self has 2 legendary magic in it.” Answer Taka.
“I also don't know, whether my body will be strong bear that 2 powers.” Sahut Mashiro with a contrived tone, interrupted our conversation.
‘So that big yes the risk.’ I thought in my heart.
“He is a fool, you just don't know how terrible Mind Down is.”
'So so yeah.. bothered too.' My words together were a limp tone as if not caring for Mashiro who was blabbing at length beside me.
“Hora! You heard no!”
As a result, Mashiro's all-knowing face immediately turned into prisoners who were impatient for his free day.
‘Y…. Yaa’
“Alright.... has enough rest.”.
Taka's chirps turned the two of us away, even though he didn't know what I was doing, but it stopped him.
The hero without such a license never complains of anyone's lack, he is always ready to fight even if the storm gets in the way.
“Hap, then with this we can continue his journey.” His bridge held the middle-aged Elf girl on his back.
‘Eh? Seriously though? Ahhhh well be willing however the result is clear.’
I thought I was approaching them both.
Taka smiled at me, continuing by going near the corpse of the Bearrock Golem. Just as he did for a moment managed to kill the mysterious man, pointing his palm at the monster's body. Straight away, the carcass melted slowly as if brittle was its greatest weakness, as well as leaving behind some crystals.
“Nahhh this crystal can be used as the key for the next floor, and also this amount is a lot.” Tukas Taka touched some of the crystals scattered on the ground.
“Ah – Yes.”
“Last, we have to find the secret door.” His voice played an irregular limas-studded crystal with his hands.
“Doors?” I ask not to know.
“True, the gate that connects with the Core of this dungeon.” Sahut Mashiro, answering my innocent question.
“Etto, a kind of secret passageway, I also do not know clearly how it is shaped. But my hunch says behind the waterfall that's where she is." The impression clarifies Mashiro's answer while pointing towards the waterfall behind the big tree
“So so, let's have a look together.” Take me.
“Come!”
We went towards the towering waterfall, as if we were made the size of an ant before him. It continued by barging into his swift stream, and seeing if there was any secret room or door inside.
“Wohh lucky! Here it is!”
Shouted Mashiro pointed towards the rock hole in the cave, not clear with its shape, as if formed naturally by water droplets.
Hearing my direction paused for a moment, and looking carefully at the hole, tucked in my mind the same shape as the irregular limb crystal Taka had taken before. I intend to tell him.
“Taka instead of i -.”
“Well right, here it is! Exact same isn't it?”
Taka with his spirit chuckled at the crystal he held, comparing it to – times with an eye view.
Without further ado, Taka approached the stone hole and matched the base of the crystal with a natural hole in front of it.
“Try it, maybe it fits.”
I said looking at Taka's behavior who was still confused about the problem of the stone and crystal hole.
“Ba – alright.”
Taka stuffed the crystal into the hole, it seemed like he did not impose a will for the precision of the crystal form. However, who would have thought that the beautifully shimmering green object was quite suitable in the hole.
“Wahh fitting Aoi!” Shouts surprised.
I don't know where all this stuff I saw with the naked eye came from. Simultaneously, the rocks as the sturdy walls of the cave collapsed slowly then opened a secret passageway inside.
“This yes?”
“True Aoi, let's go in.”
We entered the final stage, the feeling of resignation still has not grown in my mind. I still believe, the cooperation formed with Taka will produce definite results.
Just like the previous floor, the atmosphere of the creation of this hallway is really gripping. Darkness at the end of the eye. For lighting? Only a torch on each pillar is very far away. It was more visible as a road sign rather than a lighting.
“Ta – Taka, I can't see anything.” I hesitated to go through the terrain in front.
“Nothing, no monsters or anything here.”
The reply, I could hear his footsteps away from where I was.
“Tu – wait.”
Wanting, unwilling, I set foot slowly, starting to enter the ground floor.
Moments after feeling this deep field, I felt a huge difference. For example, the temperature of this room. Normally, if we enter the basement without air gaps, it will definitely feel sultry. But here no, the temperature is really comfortable. In accordance with my body.
No, even here it's very quiet. I can hear my own heartbeat, it's very comfortable. To me, an introvert. All the neighborhoods here are my paradise, aloof without a bully.
“Aoi! Aoi!”
Usut had a mouth, there was the sound of someone shouting as if calling back from old life.
‘Who?’
“Aoi! Aware!”
‘That voice...Taka?’
“Aoi!”
‘Whispering! At least let me relax for a while.’
*Plak!
Someone who did not know where it came from suddenly slapped me hard, not just pain, but his voice boomed to my ears.
“What! What's up!” I cried out in annoyance from that darkness, seeing Taka in front of me looking at me.
I know from the look on his worried face, this must be a hallucination. Intent of “worthy or unlike you in Dungeon.” I am grateful to be aware of all that, maybe death will come to my body if it is not awakened.
“Thank God Aoi.” Chirps Taka was relieved while giving her little smile to me.
“I – Yes.”
I looked around, watching what would happen next. Glancing here and there, from the right side to the left. Mashiro was also beside me, her face was not much different when we first met, between contentment and passion.
“It looks like the three of us are worthy, to be part of this dungeon.” Taka touched the rough wall in front of him.
“So, the previous atmosphere was ... exam?” I was surprised by what I had experienced before.
“Really, but new betting starts.”
Right after Taka said that, the sky of the room sky shook. Followed by the rumbling sounds from all corners, as if a place in this land wanted to bury us alive.
“So you guys, who finished this dungeon. Two humans and one elf were in a fainting state. "
A voice with deep heavy intonation appeared and echoed from somewhere out of nowhere.
“True, Dungeon guard core.” Sahut Taka replied to the mysterious voice.
‘Mashiro, what happened?’
“Inti dungeon, where you will talk directly to him. This is melting and betting, life and death.”
Mashiro answered looking at the sky, curious about the source of the sound.
“Hoshizora Taka-.”
“Good!”
“-Last, Aoi Syafiqi.”
“Ba – good.”
I don't know what really happened, so I followed the hero, but all I believe in right now is Taka and Mashiro.
“I don't want to linger – long at the moment. It's easy, you two should answer my three questions honestly.”
The core dungeon's voice again sounded, offering a peaceful path that the three of us would go through.
“Good what is.” Answer Taka.
“Of course, if you manage to get through all those questions, I will give you a fair reward. But, if you pray in every sentence. I'll make sure you're destroyed with no left.”
“So first question: Memory.”
It was clearly accompanied by a rumbling sound from the side of the right and left sides.
“You should say......First love.”
He focused on the question he wanted to ask.
[[Huh?]
Hearing the dungeon Core question, we fell silent mute and looked at each other. Wonderful for the answer that will be given.
“Well, it's time to let out your honesty.”
Strictly speaking, the deep hoarse voice really did not match the question he gave.
“Oi, Oi, Oi. Really? Taka is easy, as Mikadzuki is his fiancee. Lah me?” Mumamku panicked.
“Good, my first love was my own fiance, Mikadzuki Fin.”
Taka replied firmly with a face full of confidence behind it, he should have answered that.
“Ehm, Taka Hoshizora. Honesty loh, are you sure of that answer.”
Spooky reply by Core dungeon, the right side wall suddenly moved closer to us slowly.
“Not honesty? Lying?!”
My murmurs were surprised to see Taka. The confidence that had been built on his face instantly collapsed, his face was now dampened by cold sweat.
“Ta – Taka?”
“Good – alright! I love Asteria Hoshizora! Yes my own sister!”
His shout was full of emotion, the shame he kept out completely simultaneously by anger.
[[Eh?!]
I was surprised to hear that, even Mashiro who looks not interested in “soan” was also surprised.
“You said an honesty.”
Accepting the dungeon Core in a more relaxed voice, the wall beside us also came to a halt.
[[Eh?!]
A sense of surprise that had not subsided since Taka said his heart, The Core Dungeon considered him to be honest. As if the water was moaning, curiosity and shock were mixed into one.
“Next your turn, man with unique eye color.” Continue to direct his sinister voice at me.
“Eh? That, anu, ah-.”
Not letting out my words, the wall beside started to rumble and move closer.
“Aoi!” Shouted Taka in panic.
‘Sial, I don't know what to answer.’
“Iya - yes, she is a girl younger than me, her name is Azuzi Namida!”
I lowered my head to hide this half-dead shame.
“I've expected.” Lirih Mashiro teased me.
‘Whisper, howlo!’
“Good, you guys passed the first question.”
The Core Dungeon's mouth slowly stopped the pace of the walls.
“Sst – Aoi, keep it a secret, this is the other side of us, okay?”
Taka chirps, that small voice really makes our statements both secret documents.
“Clearly.” I answered Taka.
The question given by the Core Dungeon was indeed a life and death gamble, but all of it was easily sidetracked by the first matter. Now, the beginning of a foothold has been exceeded. As if wading through stormy seas using anti-apocalypse submarines, all obstacles were mere sight.
“Alright, it's time for the second question….Mathematical Logic.”
The follow-up wave he had launched along with guessing - his ridiculous guess.
‘Serious now? I don't know about math, shit.’ I thought to myself inwardly worried about the question given by the Core Dungeon.
“Easy, because there are only three people here, and one is unconscious. I'll give you one thing.”
Obviously moving two sides of the wall ready to soften our bodies, whenever he wants.
“Absolute problem certainly.”
Mashiro muttered frowned, I can still hear her little voice. Not knowing what, I decided to shut up and ignore it.
“So, known age of Orcs 4 times of Elf girl age. Within 4 years, the age of the Orc would be 3 times the age of the elf girl. Well, now how old is the Orc and the Elf girl?”
After saying the math question, start the side of the wall moving back. As if giving a limited time for us to solve every question he asked.
“The Elf age is long so about 15 if girl, right?” I thought, I tried to think as I could.
“Of course it's wrong!”
The annoyed voice of the Dungeon Core heard the sparkling of my voice, the moving wall further accelerated its pace.
“Your fool hastens your death, fool!” Mashiro sternly snapped at me, even though she was only a spirit, her words were truly about my whole soul and body.
A light journey that I consider an anti-apocalypse submarine, met with high coral like mountains. The human mind will never even touch the will of God. A sense of confidence in my body, collapsing easily.
“The age of Elf girl is 8 years old, and Orc 32 years old.”
Taka answered breaking back all my despair, The Core Dungeon that heard his reply instantly fell silent along with both sides of the wall.
“E – Eh?”
“Ya the answer.” The young man said the hero silenced the mute Core Dungeon with his words. “For example, the age of the Orc was between 20 to 100 years, then the possible age of the Elf girl when 4 times smaller it was limited to 21 years.” The bridge breathed.
“But, if you add 4 years to it, then the only answer is “Usia both can be divided by 3 then the result is 12 and 36, then stay minus 4”. Meet the answer 8 and 32 years.” Taka completed the explanation for the previous answer.
“….”
I also contracted the silent disease of the Core Dungeon when I heard Taka's explanation, not knowing what he meant. Even Mashiro who knows about science gaped at Taka.
“Yes….I used a rough way to break it, and that way is true – is really inefficient.”
Still not satisfied with the explanation of his words, Taka continued to explain the way he used it.
“You know? Puzzle – Teki which Dungeon Core gives is Stimultan equation, it is complex material.” Sneakily.
“Quite – is enough, I'm satisfied with your answer, yes it is 8 and 32. Enough already!” The grumbling Core Dungeon captured clearly the decipherment of the puzzle given by Taka.
“Really? Seriously?” Wonderful Mashiro heard Core Dungeon receive Taka's answer.
This time, with Taka as the captain who leads the ship's movement. Pearl words “Usaha will not betray the results.” Realized by him. That unyielding youth really brought out all his talent.
“Good, then last question…..Recognition.” The rumbling sounds started to reappear for a few times. “Tell your sins.” The intonation of the big and deep voice this time matched the question that was uttered.
“I...” Taka's shrill voice rang out from behind his lowered face, barely visible to the countenance at all. It is like wearing a mask to cover his true self.
“I, have killed Leora Hoshizora, My own sister.”
Seriate….
