*ROOOOOAAAARRRR!!!* 'Roar'
*ORRRRRAAAAAA!!!* 'Iron Skin'
"Huh, I can actually feel myself getting a boost in power from that skill of yours." Riviera said, as even though Gareth used Rhino in the Training room, most of the time it's him and Dain working together and competing with each other so Riviera just let them be as a result, not feeling the power of 'Roar' from Rhino.
"Well it only lasts about 30 seconds but increases everyone's weapon strength by 50% as a result, ranged weapons, melee weapons, magic, other Warframe abilities, basically everything becomes 50% stronger for it's duration." I explained to them along with the fact the radius is a 40m radius around me at that so everyone would need to be close by for it to effect them.
Sadly I don't have any strength increasing mods for my Warframes yet besides me acquiring the stretch mod to increase the overall range of my abilities so far.
"So what are we down here for? Sure I wanted to check out the dungeon and all that, but I don't have anything else besides that." Loki said as she crossed her arms behind her head.
"Well, I kinda want to finish hunting Hellhounds in order to get their pelts, the Empress put down a 1mil valis bounty for 100 'perfect' Hellhound Pelts, but I don't think it's possible to make it perfect pelts if you skin them down here in the dungeon, so after I kill them I just shove them into my inventory to be skinned for their pelts back home." I say telling them about the quest I took up.
"Ugh, you took a quest from 'her' of all people? Well good luck with that." Loki said, making it very clear she has a bad impression of the 'Empress' of the Hera Familia.
"How bad is she if you can't stand her?" I already didn't have too good an impression of both the Hera and Zeus Familias since their lower ranked members get away with doing some rather awful stuff just cause their familias have been around for nearly a thousand years and basically have a major monopoly over Orario as a whole.
"If I said she is the mortal equivalent of Hera, almost like she is actually Hera's real blood related Daughter having both her personality and near identical looks, then you can understand why I don't like her." Loki explained and I couldn't blame her, everything I have heard about Hera is that she's a Tyrannical Narcissist who looks down on everyone and anything who isn't as good as her and her familia, then I can easily guess what this 'Empress' is like.
"Speaking of which why is she called the 'Empress'? I get that's the title that she earned for her high level right? But she has an actual name right?" Everyone only calls her the Empress, but no one even knows her name and she's the leader of the Hera familia, hell I know the name of the leader of the Zeus Familia is called Maxim and I believe that's his real name, but Empress is just a title after all.
"I have no clue." Loki surprisingly says with a shrug.
"She does have a name, but only those she has recognized as her equals, upper ranking members of her Familia, or the rare few she genuinely cares for are the only ones who know her real name, and those people know not to tell her name to others less they face the wrath of Orarios strongest Adventurer." Riviera said as she chimed in while we kept going deeper into the dungeon.
"That's…. Weird, but whatever, anyway if she's giving out a million Valis for anyone who can do her quest than who am I to say no?" Plus I need a lot of money if I'm going to build further weapons, Warframes and even upgrades to our Dojo.
*Crack Crack Crack*
Though as we entered a new room the rock walls began to crack open before a group of Hellhounds began to appear before us.
"Alright, now please aim for the head, I need those pelts to look good." I say pulling out my Boltor as I pulled back the handle on the side of the gun to get it ready.
"Yes, yes, whatever you say boss." Loki said sarcastically before pulling out her Zhuge, a charged single shot Crossbow or a rapid fire repeating crossbow, and took aim alongside me.
*GRRRRRRRR!!!* *HOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLLL!!!!!*
Suddenly we saw another much larger crack appeared in the wall in which a much larger than average Hellhound appeared, but unlike the pitch black fur and blood red eyes with small flames coming out of its mouth.
This one had a Dark Maroon colored fur coat with completely white eyes along with flames wreathing its body like a coat, it didn't take a genius to realize that this was a special grade Hellhound, a much tougher version of the regular Hellhounds.
"Ooooo…. I can feel this one is a tough one, maybe only slightly weaker than the Infant Dragon I fought before." I muttered to myself but both Loki and Riviera clearly heard me.
I took aim and began to fire at the charging Hellhounds with Loki using her 'Hall of Mirrors' to get more shots off and take out more Hellhounds heading to us.
However the Larger Hellhound stayed back, as if it was purposely watching us fight the others before making a decision to join the fray.
Though it didn't take long for all the other Hellhounds to be killed and were laying on the ground as blood flowed out from their skulls or neck leaving only the Maroon Hellhound alive.
*AAAAAWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!*
It howled out before its body was covered entirely in flames, from its head all the way down to its tail was covered in flames, it was less calling it a Hellhound and more like a different monster entirely.
"Sköll" I could barely hear Loki Whisper as the Wolf finished taking on an entirely different form, it was giant now, originally only 5ft from head to tail, now however he was a massive 25ft and was staring down at us with his teeth bared.
I put away my Boltor and pulled out both my Sun and Moon, "Riviera! Were gonna need your help with this one!" I shouted back to her as I prepared myself for a fight.
Though if my eyes were visible they would have widen at what I saw.

The Tower of Babel, on the Edge of the Roof of the tower a man could be seen with his legs hanging over the edge of the tower looking down at the City below.
Nothing but the lower half of his face could be seen underneath his hood as he was grinning ear to ear as a dark greenish ethereal glow morphed and moved under his hood.
"The Tutorial period is over Kiddo, now it's time you... Entertain me." He said as he kept on staring down into the city below, his eyes piercing through the ground, into the dungeon layers all the way to where his entertainment was playing out right before his eyes.
"RIS VOME LOHK XATA" he spoke in a language that none but him could understand before his laughter filled the air as he disappeared without a trace.
"The Fool, You have only just Begun your Journey."
