Chapter 210: Dungeon of the Undead Part: 7

After we got home I gave Nira everything she could sell or distribute to others, just like I've been doing since the beginning I'm saving the bodies of some monsters for me to eat another day. 

When we were showing the items to everyone the cleansing potion was snatched up by Lyra who said she would study it, meanwhile the bone shield was taken by Anton who said he liked how it was done. 

After that Caryna brought out delicious food for everyone to eat, after enjoying our meal I met with Ivan and Diana outside the mansion to discuss what we will do tomorrow. 

We were sitting at a table near the garden. 

"How big do you think this dungeon must be?"  (I) 

"Carlos thinks he should make it to the 65th floor, but maybe he can make it to the 70th, we won't be able to know until we get to the top floor."  (Diana) 

"Then it won't be long to conquer this dungeon, but I'd love to know who would be the boss of this dungeon."  (I) 

"I wanted to know too, but there's no other way to find out than to go into the boss's office."  (Diana) 

"We may not know which boss it will be, but we can assume it will be much stronger than Basilisk and it will definitely be Undead."  (Ivan) 

"If we're guessing, from the monsters that have appeared so far it can only be one type of Zombie or Skeleton."  (I) 

"I agree, the worst case would be if you were a Mage because there would be a high chance of being able to cast spells or summoning abilities for Grade A Undead, that would give us a lot of trouble."  (Diana) 

"If it were a melee fighter it will be easier as Vanessa can use Holy magic, but a Mage would have ways to defend against Holy magic."  (Ivan) 

"Over the last few days, I've realized that we've been getting overconfident because of this elemental advantage we have in this dungeon."  (I) 

"I don't like it, that's why I called you here, I want to discuss some strategies in advance in case unforeseen events happen when facing the Dungeon Boss."  (I) 

"I like your way of thinking, Master Zenos."  (Ivan) 

"By preparing for the worst, we'll be more prepared and safer, that mentality that keeps someone alive."  (Ivan) 

"Actually I'm sure something unexpected will happen."  (I) 

"You always worry too much, Layla is right when she says the master needs to relax."  (Diana) 

"You know I worry about you, I'd rather make mistakes for preparing too much than crying for not preparing myself enough."  (I) 

"The important thing is to form some plans for different possibilities, we have to keep things simple so that we can adapt quickly."  (Ivan) 

"The most basic plan I can think of if it's a Mage is for me to face him head-on while trying to break through his defenses so Vanessa can deliver the killing blow or at least weaken him enough for us to finish him off quickly."  (I) 

"If it's some kind of Mage it would be good to attack with light element magic to break the barrier and make Vanessa save strength for a true strike."  (Diana) 

"That sounds good enough, but what if it's a warrior type like Ivan?"  (I) 

"So a single attack from Vanessa won't defeat him, it will only weaken him, in which case I'd better come forward and face him, so Vanessa uses her Holy magic to weaken him, at which point Layla, Irius, and the master can finish off it with Light element magic."  (Ivan) 

"But you risk getting hit if you get too close to him."  (Diana) 

"I agree with Diana, it's best that Irius and I attack him with Light element short-range abilities so we don't risk hitting you by accident."  (I) 

"Our attacks can hurt him little by little and then we leave it to Irina to restrain him long enough for Vanessa to land a fatal blow."  (I) 

"I agree with this plan."  (Diana) 

"So let's go with that plan, but I don't like taking risks, which will happen if the boss is a fighter and he has a summoning skill."  (Ivan) 

"Others can take care of the monsters if summoned or at least hold them for a while."  (I) 

"Freya will be of help with her arrows and rica can use a paralysis curse on them too."  (I) 

"Those plans will be enough for now, it's no use making too many plans, what we'll need are just initial plans as a base, then we'll adapt to whatever happens."  (Diana) 

After an hour of talking we came up with some plans that could be put into action, so we went in and got together with every one to talk about those plans, after which everyone went to their rooms. 

I go to my room and drink Dragon's blood with Vanessa by my side watching over me. 

Ding! 

<[ Your bloodline has become stronger and purer [ True Dragon: 20% > 25% ] ]> 

After that, I went to sleep.

---------- 

The next day we leave early after a short meal from Caryna, head straight to the Dungeon, I'm planning on getting up to floor 60 and facing the boss of that floor today if possible. 

We entered the dungeon and started exploring each floor from floor 51 onwards as we don't have a map this time. 

We calmly explored each floor but it was difficult, there were a lot of monsters, it even felt like those horror movies showing a large horde of Undead coming towards us in the middle of a desert at night, it was scary. 

But it was scary only for me that I associated this scene with horror movies from my old world in my mind, the others were happy it was a desert at night as we could see enemies approaching from far away or so we thought. 

The Undead came out of the desert sand often close to us which caught us off guard sometimes. 

After spending most of the day exploring each floor we only made it to floor 57 where we were facing an intermediate boss who was some kind of Zombie Sand Shark that was attacking us in the middle of a sandstorm. 

This damn sand shark zombie was attacking us from below which was making it very difficult for him to catch him, so I had an idea and told rica and Layla to use the most powerful fire magic they had on the ground along with me, meanwhile, I spoke for Freya to use her Wind magic to drive everyone up away from the sand. 

Everyone jumps and a gust of wind throws us up where a bubble of wind magic keeps us protected from the sandstorm and afloat, some, rica and Layla use our fire spells aiming for the sand below. 

"< Tornado of Flames >" (I) 

"< Fire Wave >" (Layla) 

"< Explosion of Flames >" (rica) 

Three intermediate-level fire spells hit below causing an inferno of flames to spread scorching heat to where we were standing. 

Ding! 

<[ You gained 544 EXP for enemy kill ]>

.

.

.

<[ You have leveled up ]>

.

.

<[ Your work has reached the maximum level ]> 

It looks like he's dead, so I twice use an intermediate water spell to put out the fire below, which didn't seem like a good idea with the blast of hot steam that came our way, but thanks to a barrier from Irina nothing happened. 

After the steam left we could see below even though the sandstorm continued, what we saw was that a large area of desert around us had turned to glass. 

"< Sword of Judgment >" (Irius) 

Irius comes out of the barrier and jumps on the glass below with his sword shining in black and white lights, the moment he hits the ground he pierces the ground with his sword spreading a shock wave that shattered all the glass and made everything shake. 

BOOMMM!!!!! 

That's when we saw the mangled body of the Zombie Sand Shark, I keep the body which is a full ten meters in size in a storage item I asked Nira to buy, so we continued exploring until we reached the secure room on the floor 58. 

From the safe room, I decided to go back to the first floor and then back to the city, we were in the dungeon for a long time today and we weren't able to advance as many floors as we planned before, the reason for this was a large number of monsters, not knowing where the stairs were to the next floor and the monsters getting stronger. 

When we left the dungeon everyone was tired and it was mid-afternoon, looks like we made it out before dark today. 

We return in silence to the mansion as we are exhausted, as soon as we enter we will first take a shower and then eat something, I leave the things I don't want with Nira and go to my room with Vanessa to drink Dragon's blood. 

Ding! 

<[ Your bloodline has become stronger and purer [ True Dragon: 25% > 30% ] ]> 

After that, I was too tired to think about why I'm not getting any skills, so I lie down on my bed next to Layla who is already asleep, and give in to my sleep and my weariness. 

zzzzzz...
