CH.260 Clearing Dungeon 27_001, part 1
Our ‘rest’ day went just fine, but it wasn’t that restful for . I went around the city, picking up preserved, and not so preserved, foods for us. Used Mystik Wok multiple tis to make us foods, and also made sure to refill the magic flasks of both Lua and Ria with dragon blood. Agunan actually didn’t mind using the dragon blood in that way and didn’t raise a fuss.
Now with a bit more than a month's worth of food, and sleeping bags and pelts for all of us, we were ready to head to the dungeon tomorrow.
After our morning breakfast, as well as a quick goodbye to everyone, the five of us were off towards dungeon 27_001. Admittedly, this might be just a day trip, but at the sa ti, depending on the size of the dungeon, we might have to camp there for multiple days, and we were prepared for that. I had so food ready to go in my storage, and I could make more with Mystik Wok and Ergency Provisions.
Our flight to the dungeon was made in the brand new B.E.S. Crystal Core, that I just got. I just wanted to test it out, so I could compare it to Big Core.

[Each ti a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card when that Spell Card resolves. If the 4th Spell Counter is placed on this card: Destroy this card, and if you do, the player who activated the Spell Card at that ti takes 3000 damage.]

Maybe I should look into making so sort of facility that produces mana using Spell Counters. I know that mana can be instantly transferred over even long distances, thanks to Agunan’s life dedication, so I should be able to do it as well. But I’ll still need better cards for it. Maybe if I had that one field spell, Magical Citadel of Endymion, I might be able to do it. Then make so sort of mana transferring device, using sothing like Pitch-Dark Power Stone, or so other card that can move Spell Counters around. Maybe even using so of the tech my monsters have.
… wait? The facility … in that dream Lua told about … was that the Magical Citadel of Endymion? Was I able to make one? If her dream really is anything more than a dream, then I think yes. There are just too many coincidences where I could call it ‘just a dream’.
We got inside the dungeon, after I removed the boulder blocking the entrance. The stairs down were completely covered in spider webs, and other stuff, but the monsters seem to have fallen back into the room ahead.
“Master, allow to clear the way.” Agunan said, as he stepped forward.
“... sure…” I allowed him.
Agunan ignited his own body, and the area around him began to burn. The fire then cleared all of the spider webs, as well as the other trash in our way.
“Wow. Thanks, Agunan. Great work.” I complinted him, as we walked into the dungeon.
“So, how do we want to clear this place?” I asked. “Do I just summon so powerful monsters, so we can blast our way through, or do we take a more careful approach?”
“I think we should do it quickly. If the Goddess wants us to clear this place, we should do it as quickly as possible.” Lua answered.
“... that’s boring. I wanted to fight myself…” Alice complained slightly.
“I don’t think this world will run out of monsters even if we demolish the monsters in one dungeon. And they do co back, even after we eliminate and re-establish this place.” I reminded her.
“Master, do you have contact with the Goddess?” Agunan asked.
“Well, kind of. I’ve never t her personally, but she did promise to talk with . And I have t with a System Agent, if you know what they are.”
“Them? Yes. I’ve heard of them. … but the Goddess, huh. I wonder how powerful she is..?”
“Please don’t fight with gods. And if you do, at least fight with ones I can summon. It will be a lot easier.”
“You can summon gods?” Alice asked.
“Well yes, but also no. At least not yet. Exodia, a certain golden giant Agunan was after, is more or less a demi-god. And there are other demi-god level cards, but I just don’t have any yet.” I told them. “... also, the Goddess said I shouldn’t summon Exodia anymore, so I won’t be doing it, unless absolutely necessary.”
“Can this Exodia appear in your world, Master?”
“In the factory? ... I’m not sure, actually.” I answered Agunan. “I’ve never seen him there, and considering that he is basically five cards in one, I think he might not be able to, unless soone summons him. … and I don’t want him destroying that place, so I’m not sure I want to try. Maybe just wait until I get so of the other god-cards.”
Like co on. Agunan. Even after the install, you lost your factory rematch against Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, so why do you want to fight a god? Well, admittedly it wasn’t really a fair fight, because they fought in the area governed by Mountain of Light, so my Blue-Eyes got the power boost from it. Next ti, I’ll have them fight in a neutral environnt. And if Agunan wins, he can always play around with Shining Dragon next.

This lineup might be extre overkill, but I also don’t want any trouble, so why not? Also, I haven’t summoned Dark Sage since I made the engagent bracelets with him, so it is about ti I summoned him again. Sa goes for Black Luster Soldier. It has been a while since I've summoned him.
“We are getting through this place quickly. You four clear all the monsters in our way.” I ordered my summons, and they got to work.
Out of the five of us, only Agunan could keep up with their speed, so the rest of just kind of stayed back and walked. I also kept collecting the monster corpses into my Storage as we did. That led to realize sothing I haven’t noticed before. The monster corpses from the dungeon have a condition called ‘miasma curse’. It ans that they have a lot more miasma than usual monsters, so their materials cannot be used, unless they are purified by Holy Magic, and I can use Storage to purify it as well.
The miasma itself, according to Laura, would result in the equipnt made from them being cursed, so you definitely don’t want to use them without the purification. Even high ranking monsters outside of dungeons sotis have that condition, but Tahlia must have always purified it. One of those ‘It doesn’t really matter, but wish she or Laura had told ’ things right there.
The second large room didn’t have insects. Instead, it was filled to the brim with plant type monsters. The strongest of them was a B-rank man-eating plant, so that was fun.
The third had bird type monsters, with the strongest ones being a group of four griffins.
“... how large is this dungeon?” I asked, in a tone that might have sounded more like complaining.
It was the evening of the day we arrived here, and thus far, we had gone through over 30 rooms of this dungeon. And with the rooms being massive, and filled to the brim with monsters, even with my arsenal of summons, it took a while per room. Also, all of the monsters were high ranking monsters. None had been below C-rank, and most were B-rank.
And eventually, even A-rank monsters began appearing. Which in itself wouldn’t be a problem, but they did slow us down just a bit, especially if I didn't have my A-Forces out here. But I could easily fix that little problem by throwing out so equip spells, so we were making good ti.
The only problem was, we now needed to sleep in the dungeon. … I honestly hoped we’d have this place cleared in one day, but nope. And unlike TinaWood, this place doesn’t have guaranteed safe zones, so we have to use so… not so conventional ans of making a safe zone.
“Swords of Revealing Light.” I activated the spell. With it, no monsters should be able to attack us.

… but we would still have to have at least one of us stay awake, to keep watch, just to make sure. For that, the girls needed more powerful monsters. If sothing does break the Swords of Revealing Light, the cards Alice, Lua and I have set on us should buy us a bit of ti, but still better to make sure.
I gave Lua her own copy of Guardian Angel Joan, as well as Water Dragon, and the cards she needs to summon Water Dragon. Guardian Angel Joan I don’t think I even need to explain, but I added the Water Dragon because she paid so attention to it when I pulled it from the pack.

But I really need so stronger water attribute monsters. My strongest is Gogiga Gagagigo, and he is uncontrollable. Sure Neo-Daedalus is almost as strong, but still. None of my water-attribute monsters have over 3000 attack, and that is just a sha.

Giving sothing to Alice was a lot easier. My dark lineup is a lot more varied. But there was only one she really wanted.
“Can I have the Dark Paladin?” She requested.
So of course I gave her a Dark Paladin, as well as its fusion materials.

I also let her keep the Polyrization she used to fuse her monsters, and also gave her a De-Fusion to go along with it.

I did warn her that I’d take them back if she used them on a person, but Alice just reassured that she wouldn’t do that.
And finally, Ria got herself a copy of Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys. Don’t think I forgot that she wanted it. Sure it might not be quite as strong as the others, but it will buy a bit of ti in case of an enemy attack.

“Master. You should just let keep guard, so all of you can sleep for the night. I don’t need to sleep, as long as I have food.” Agunan offered.
“Nope. Not happening.” I denied. “I need you in tip top shape for tomorrow, and for that, sleep is important.”
The order in which we were taking turns keeping guard was Alice, Agunan, , Ria and lastly Lua. The reason I went with this order was because Alice, Lua and I could tell ti with out System Supports, so we would be able to ti for how long we need to keep guard before waking up the next person. And our System Supports would also wake us up for our own guard shift.
… the only problem was the Swords of Revealing Light. While Lua, Ria, Alice and I could all activate it, if anyone but activated it, we couldn’t all move inside of them. If Ria activated it, Agunan and I could move inside just fine, but Alice and Lua would be frozen. And if Alice or Lua activated it, Agunan and Ria would get frozen. So the only choice was that I have to wake up every two hours to recast the spell. It could be worse, but I still don’t like it. But better than being eaten by monsters during our sleep, so I’ll just have to accept it.
We naturally didn’t use Level Up!s because we were in a dungeon, so after getting into my sleeping bag, I quickly fell asleep.
