Just as the eerie silence settled in and the boat began to glide across the black pool, a low rumble echoed from beneath the water’s surface.
The water around the skeletal ship trembled violently like sothing ancient was stirring from a long slumber.
Then,
CRACK!
A section of the pool ahead split open like a maw, revealing a swirling whirlpool of black abyss.
The skeletal ship, instead of avoiding it, accelerated toward the vortex under the control of the silent, cloaked ferryman.
"What the hell?!" Alan shouted, reaching for the hilt of his sword as the boat began to tilt downward.
Zara gripped the side. "Is he trying to kill us?! But I sense no hostility... It just feels like it’s a guide taking us sowhere,"
"You are right!..." Ami’s voice was sharp, her eyes wide with realization.
"This is part of the dungeon. It’s a transport spell disguised as a natural fall... everyone, brace yourselves!"
The mont she said that—
WHOOSH!!!
The entire boat plumted down the magical waterfall hidden within the whirlpool, wind moved past them like a strong breeze.
Saltwater sprayed into their faces... Darkness swallowed the light, and then,
SPLASH!
They landed hard into a subterranean sea, the boat was surprisingly intact thanks to magical reinforcent runes.
But now they were inside a cavern that shouldn’t exist.
It was a massive hollow in the earth where the sea itself seed trapped like a beast caged in stone.
The ceiling above was lined with glowing coral, and the water sparkled faintly with traces of magic.
"Woooohoooo!" Tia was screaming mid-fall, but once they landed, her expression turned grim.
"Wait... where are we now?" she asked a common yet logical question.
Alan stood up quickly. His clothes were soaked, his sword out, eyes scanning the place as he couldn’t sense any other breaths.
"It’s not over. This place... it feels alive,"
He quickly activated his sage eyes.
Eva narrowed her eyes. "The magic here is ancient... And not friendly, maybe we should have brought Miss Mira, I don’t understand magic..."
Just then,
BOOM!
A tentacle, thick as a tree trunk and covered in glowing sigils erupted from the sea and crashed down onto the edge of the pool with a sickening wet sound.
BWOOM!!
Another tentacle followed. Then another...
The sea churned violently, the boat rocking. They leapt off just in ti as,
A massive Kraken-like beast erged from the depths.
What the fuck was this place, they couldn’t fathom.
But it wasn’t just a beast, it was the undead, the one that has no soul.
This ans Alan can’t use his soul pressure to kill this thing.
Its flesh was half-rotted, violet bones visible through its grotesque form.
Magical chains bound its torso, glowing with the sa hue as the runes on the cave walls.
Its eyes were the pits of void, that locked on Alan and his party.
Ami’s voice trembled. "That... that’s not a summon. That’s a seal guardian. A fragnt of the true Kraken... and it’s pissed."
Alan cracked his neck. "Good. I wanted a real fight anyway..."
His stats have grown rapidly and he wants to test his ability.
He doubts with his 50k stats he can’t fight.
He stepped forward, lifting his blade, which now glowed faintly with sword aura as if responding to the Kraken’s dark aura.
The others ford a formation behind him.
Zara summoned twin fire daggers, unlike the regular large spear.
Eva was carrying a hamr with the pointy spike at the mont instead of a battle axe.
Tia pulled her staff out, summoning the storm light.
Ami rose into the air, magic circles blooming like flowers around her body.
...
ROAARRRRRR!!!
The Kraken roared, a sound like ancient worlds collapsing, sending a very strong shockwave in all directions.
The air vibrated with tension.
Magic flared, water hissed as it boiled in contact with raw power.
Alan pointed his sword at the monster.
"Let’s show this corpse what happens when you challenge the wrong team."
But things don’t go as planned.
Bang!
One of the tentacles struck Ami, instantly weakening her.
Pfft!
She coughed so blood.
Alan was stupid in bringing others into the dungeon that was ant for him, thinking it was a good idea.
Nevertheless, Alan won’t regret his decision, he has his own strength to back that decision.
They imdiately started a formation attack.
Tia and Eva attacked the tentacle with storm light and hamr, while Zara used fire to weaken it, its tentacles were lubed with so strange mucus which was highly flammable.
Ami got up and tried to heal but it seed it was an anti-heal curse, she couldn’t heal herself, thus, she tried to use her magic to bind one of the tentacles.
And Alan himself used sword aura to cut its limbs.
He was a sword saint, and his second could cut through everything.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
After a few minutes of fighting, they managed to kill it and break the magical chains.
A black chest appeared in the place of the Kraken.
They were tired and so of them had a few bruises here and there.
But they were still high in spirit, this was the first ti they defeated a high-level undead.
They checked the black chest.
Inside, there were a few things.
First was the key that could be used for the door they didn’t see at the cave.
Then a scroll, the scroll was the skill of healing that was very rare to co by and it could also remove the effect of anti-heal it any kind of curse magic, which was given to Ani. .
The last was a special school glowing with the strange rune.
[Class: Rune Master ( legendary ) ]
That was a very useful item for Alan so, he hurriedly used it on himself, as for won, they might get better class later on.
Just then,
A blue window appeared before them, and water began to rise, all the surrounding Instantly covered by seawater.
And sohow miraculous, they were inside the sa ship.
The grim-reaper like for guy, sailed the ship with Schyte.
[ Floor 1- Complete ]
[Floorr 2 begins ]
Soowsh~
"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Ah...."
