The quartet walk out of the light to a massive cave before them, the cave is filled with water and has rock platforms over it. The roof has a giant crystal at the center which provides light, on some of the platforms are plants and even in the water. The platforms vary in sizes as some are like an oasis to a simple stepping stone.
Flint looks around the place, "Okay, this isn't what I was expecting."
Chuck nods as he looks over the water, "Yeah, with how flashy the entrance was I expected some ancient ruins of some kind." He taps the water as his reflection ripples across it.
Aella is amazed, "Don't you guys get it? Normal dungeons aren't even half as big as this." Aku looks at Aella with a brow, so does the boys. "A dungeon of this scale can only be made by...by a god!" she looks around the place the looks behind them.
The door they just walk through only has its post but no gate, this surprises them. Aku stretches her hand to the gate then a space opens showing outside. "*Sighs* For a moment I thought we couldn't leave." Aku wipes the sweat from her brows.
Flint holds his chest, "*Sighs* I'm glad we can still leave." Vision changes as the place is red and the quartet are seen from below the water. Flint continues speaking, "I wonder what we're to do now that we're here. Don't dungeons normally have puzzles or just killing monsters?"
The vision goes behind Chuck as he's the closest to the water, he puffs his chest out. "Hahaha, this isn't all bad. I was expecting to some monster to attack us- " A monster covered in a dark aura jumps out of the water and lands behind Chuck as the shockwave lifts him up, "Like this! SHIELD!" he turns and raises his shield. *ROOOAAARRR* BAANNGG!*
Chuck slides back on the ground for about 5 meters, the group turn to look at the monster that attacked them. Flint glares at it, "APPRAISAL." The monster turns to Flint and runs towards him, "System! Share the results to the community!" He raises his sword to parry as the dark aura surrounding the monster disappears. The monster is question is a humanoid dragon without wings of size 2 meters, it's dark green with a long tail.
Aella looks at the monster, "It's just like the monster on the gate but smaller!" she readies her rapier to fight.

The monster jumps as it culls into a big ball falling towards Flint, he dodges out of the way. "You guys see it's status?" The group responds, "Yeah!"
Aella is a bit frightened, "Guys, how are we going to beat the thing! We're lucky it's WISDOM stats is 1 or we're screwed!" Aella moves away from the monster.
Chuck readies his machete, "Technically, we're screwed either way."
Aella is, "HUH?!" the monster turns to her as she gets it's agro.
Chuck rushes towards the monster, "It's WISDOM being 1 doesn't meant it's dumb. SHIELD TECHNIQUES > SHIELD BARGE!" the monster raises its foot and kick Chuck's shield stopping his attack completely. The monster jumps back as it opens it's mouth, lightening crackles in it's mouth as lightening shoots out towards Chuck, *BANG* covering Chuck's place with smoke. The smoke clears showing Chuck covered in wounds as he's healing slowly, lightening is crackling on his body but his movement is slowed.
Aku appears behind the monster as she swings her swords down, the monster blocks with its tail. *CLANG CLANG* Aku jumps back, "Did this thing just use it's tail like a sword?!" Aku gathers EP on her sword, "ENERGY MANIPULATION > ENERGY SWORD SLASH." A slash leaves her sword but the monster jumps evading it. Aku appears beside Chuck, "You okay? That thing got you pretty hard."
Chuck grits his teeth as his muscles pulses painfully, "Yeah, I'm okay. That things attack can paralyze also, be careful." Aku runs towards the monster as it keeps dodging her.
Flint appears behind the monster then swings his sword, "SWORD TECHNIQUE > EARTH SHATTERING SWING!" *SLASH* the monster has a slash running through it but it jumps back. A green aura appears around the monster as it slowly heals. "Tch, it's not going down easy. We corner it and strike it."
Aella trembles, to her, this monster is as terrifying as the monster king that attacked Frishia. "W…..W….W...Why is there a boss monster here?!" she can barely move.
Aku looks at Aella and appraises her.

Aku looks ahead, "Aella, hang back for now!" she jumps and twists in the air, the monster dodges as her swords hit the floor *CLANG* Flint moves over Aku swinging his sword but the monster dodges jumping back.
The monster is on its hands, it snarls at Flint *BANG* A shield slams into the monster as it rolls towards Flint. Flint raises his sword high and swings down beheading the monster.
Chuck breathes heavily, "That was rough. Good thing it lost focus on me."
Aku rushes to Aella and holds her in a hug, "Don't worry Aella, it's dead." Aella nods as she calms down. Aku looks over at Flint, "What kind of boss monster is this? Don't they normally wait at the end before joining the fight?"
Flint looks serious, "If this was a boss monster, System would tell us. System, isn't this a boss monster?" Chuck clasps his hands together praying.
[ANALYSIS: Target is not the boss monster. Target is only a mob on this floor]
Chuck stomps his feet on the floor, Aella trembles even more as her grip on Aku tightens. Chuck looks up, "Damnit, so we gotta fight more of these things?" He points at the monster corpse as it glows. The duo get ready as Aku protects Aella.
The monster dissipates into some form of lines or data leaving an orb behind, the orb floats a bit above the ground as if rotating. Chuck takes a step closer to the orb to examine it, but the orb rotates faster and shoots into his chest.
"CHUCK!" Flint goes to hold Chuck's shoulders, Aku is worried, Aella has her eyes shut thinking Chuck is hurt.
Chuck's eyes open wide, "I don't believe it, I levelled up!" he beams with joy and jumps around.
