BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ryu: What was it!?
Lyra: Explosives, they came from the stairs!
Alise: We're stuck on this floor.
Cries from afar: PITIER ARGH!
Alise: To arms!
By the time we arrived, 2 of the attacked adventurers were dead devoured by imps. The other two trying to resist the orcs. The closer we got, the more we felt the smell of sulfur intensify. Neze and I loaded the imps, Kaguya and Alise eliminating the orcs while Ryu and Heith healed the two survivors. Lyra she supervises the area.
Me: Die of shit! STORMBOLT!
Neze: Save your spells!
Adventurer injured: Jasmine...
Heith: She is dead. Take your sword and fight.
Lyra: New group approaching! Alise!
Alise: On it!
Kaguya: Another group of orcs is coming! They are chasing a group of adventurers!
Lyra: So we advance towards them! Alise at the front, Kaguya covers the rear. Tank on the right, Neze on the left. Ruy Heith and I protect the injured!
Our group intervened between the monsters and the adventurers. We saved three more. But the quantity of monsters never decreased. Many dead groups were crushed by the mass of orcs or devoured by imps. When we met an infant dragon, Ryu and Lyra took care of it alone. We fought like this for several hours. Heith proved indispensable, the wounded oversaw thanks to her, our wounds and fatigue remained toleral thanks to this healing magic. But her mana ran out and his fatigue accumulated.
Lyra: We won't last indefinitely.
Ryu: Why do the monsters keep coming?
Neze: The Lure monsters are still there, or rather again are sent close to us.
Kaguya: Scumbags want to see us dead. Alise, what are we doing?
Alise: Let's move closer to the staircase towards the 11th floor. The Dungeon must be repairing it so fewer monstrers will arrive from this direction. Once the wall is broken, we will be protected on one side. Lyra do you know where we are?
Lyra: I think, the ascent should be... that way.
Me:Are you okay, Heith? You're holding up ?
Heith in sweat: Yes... it's nothing compared to Baptism... I just feel like my mana isn't filling up or very little, even with potions.
Me: Limit yourself, we still have potions of care and endurance. Say it if you need help.
Neze: He is right, rely on everything. If necessary, Ryu can also heal.
Heith: Thank you. But healing is my job and I will make sure to fulfill it.
Alise: Here is the staircase...
Neze: And the smell is even stronger.
Lyra: The monsters are going to arrive, Heith takes the wounded and destroys the wall. Alise and Kaguya defend the front, Tank and Neze the right and Ryu the left.
Rescued adventurer: We can also fight!
Lyra: I know, but I don't know you, if necessary I will send you to help.
Ryu: Incoming!
And the fight resumed, the orcs and imps and the bad bats came out of the mist en masse. The ground trembled under the blows of the masses. The quantity did not seem to decrease, for each kmonster kill two others took its place. The rescued adventurers quickly joined the fight, going to support Ryu. Under the orders of Lyra and the care of Hetih, we managed to last an hour. The monsters succeeding each other wave, after wave after wave. At the end even Alise and Kaguya were exhausted but the monsters finally diminished.
ROAR !!!
Adventurer: A Dragon Infant!
Adventurer: He is black! A variant!
Me: Neze with me! Here is our adventure!
Neze: You're crazy!
Me: That's why you love me, isn't it!
The infant dragon roared in front of these two insects daring to challenge its power. He is a dragon, the top of monsters, these insects are inferior, they dare to challenge him they will die from their arrogance.
ROAR !!!
Me and Neze charge the monsters each taking a side the monster prepared its breath.
Me: STORMBLOT!
BOOM!
The lightning struck him in the head, the lightning contracting his throat disrupting his attack and triggering an explosion. Neze took advantage of it, rushing onto her right pawn!
CLING! CLING! CLING! CLING!
Neze: I can't pierce those black scales!
Me: HIS TAIL! BE CAREFUL!
Neze was surprised by the speed of the monster, the tail hitting her and ending her in the wall. I took advantage of the distraction from the monsters to strike.
CLING! CLING!
Like Neze, my blade did not penetrate the flesh, his scales were stronger than steel. In response, the monster's head tried to swallow me. I felt him coming, my combat instinct sharpened by the training against Kaguya allowed me to slip under his attack. I attacked again, I tried to aim at the gap between the scales. Again the head or the tail pushed me back. Alone I have no chance against this beast.
Heith: Zeo Gullveig! Go back, he needs you.
While I was turning away, pay attention, Neze slipped behind the monster just under its tail and at a sharp cost she hit the underside of the tail.
ROARRR!!!
Alise: She got him!
Kaguya: Their belly has no scales, it's their only chance.
Lyra: The notch is not deep enough to disable the tail. But it's a start
Me: STORMBOLT! STAY THERE! IT'S ME YOUR ENEMIES DAMN! STORMBOLT!
ROAR!
My magic seems to affect him or at least annoy him. Perfect, stay focused on me, my mate will skin you during this time...
SWIFT, ROAR!
Me: Continue Neze!
Neze: Impossible! He is focusing on me now, take over.
The attention of the monster was thus exchanged many times. When Neze enlarged the wound at the base of the tail, the monster focused on her, trying to devour, crush i or hit her with his powerful tail. Several times Hetih had to treat us after one of these attacks hit us. For my part, my attack focused on his lower belly, Zireal piercing his hide but each time succeeds the monster shakes forcing me to retreat.
With each fold, the other attacked. With each serious injury, the other took back the monster's attention while Heith treated us. Every time the monster tried to spit fire, I interrupted it with my magic. Gradually our superperficial attacks worsened, the monster lost the use of its tail, its lower belly began to bleed more and more, it lost these forces, seeing its end approached the monster attempted a final attack. When I attack his ventral wound, the monster spread its four legs, letting itself fall to the ground.
Neze: TANK!
I felt the monster crash into my blade then I felt its weight crush my ribs, cutting off the air supply to me...
ME: COUF* Storm couf* bolt...
BLITZ!
Me: stormbolt...
BLITZ! ROAR!
ME: Die... STORMBOLT!
My lightning will strike along my blade, sinking deeply into its flesh. The monster roared with suffering, I felt it collapse, writhe in pain...
Me: DIE! STORMBOLT! STORMBOLT!
ROAR!
Neze: GIVE ME BACK MY MATE! GIVE IT TO ME!
With a clear hint of claw, Neze gouged his eyes. The monster writhed in pain, shaking its head to make this enraged werewolf leave. He tried to invoke his fire but his muscles contracted in his throat, because of the powerful electric currents burning and destroying these muscles.
Rooarr...
It is on this ultimate cry that the monster disappeared in a cloud of black dust.
Neze: Tank! Please answer me!
Me: ARG! MMH!
Heith: Let go of him, he has broken ribs and pierced organs.
Neze: Save him, I beg you!
Heith: Let me do it. My name is gold. The arm of the Goddess who took a oath of immortality. Burned thrice, pierced forever. The flaming spear prison, the light that kills death. Curse, Curse, Curse. My body is gold. Here comes the endless struggle under the reviving light. Zeo Gullveig.
I felt the warmth of the spell, the douleru disappearing, my strength returning, my vision became clear, a wolf with tanned skin and a silver mane greeted me.
Me: Hi my mate...
Neze: Hi mate, we got him.
Alise: CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO! It was a great fight.
Kaguya: The training is starting to pay off.
Me: Oh you, cought* wait until I level up so we can laugh.
Kaguya: As if that would change anything.
Lyra: Bravo to you two, the dungeon has regenerated the staircase. It's time to go back up.
Me: Good idea. But before, thank you Heith we will not have succeeded without you.
Heith: It's normal, but I'm going to ask for more naps, it was supposed to be my day off.
Neze: You know that you are welcome in our bed whenever you want. I love your perfume elsewhere.
Heith blushed immediately at the implication.
Alise: I also want this right!
Me: You haven't already granted it to yourself with Neze?
Alise: Neze yes but not you.
Neze: You have his authorization. We are waiting for you tonight.
