Chapter 157: Dungeon Cleared
Chapter 157: Dungeon Cleared
[Luna POV]
The day after my fun night with Tamamo, we continued our dungeon diving. We had a good pace of going through the floors and several weeks later, we reached the final floor. Right now, we were standing in front of the final boss door and were getting ready to take it on. Once our preparations were done, I opened the large doors and we entered the room. When we were all inside far enough, the doors closed themselves and we all heard a low hissing.
Master, may I male a selfish request? (Ophidia)
Whats up? (Luna)
Can I be the one to fight this alone for a while? (Ophidia)
Im fine with that, but can I know the reason why? (Luna)
Its a matter of pride. (Ophidia)
Again, Im fine with that. Does anyone else have a problem with this decision? (Luna)
No.
Nyope. (Mio)
Then go for it, Ophidia. (Luna)
She gave me a wild smile and started to transform into her serpent form. When she was done, she was the same size as the time we first met her. The floor boss watched this whole thing in silence, but when it saw Ophidia, its eyes seemed to glow in rage. Its hissing got louder and Ophidia returned the hiss. They stared at each other for a minute before they both struck at each other.
Didnt think Id see a kaiju fight today. (Luna)
{A what?}
A fight between two giants. It usually refers to giant monsters, but thats not the case this time since one of them is Ophidia. (Luna)
{I see.}
Isnt Ophidia technically a monster though? (Velvet)
I dont consider her one, so no. (Luna)
The floor quaked as Ophidia and the snake boss fought.
Are you going to get at least one hit in big sis? (Soleil)
Unless Ophidia wants me to, then no. I can tell this thing wont level me up anyway. (Luna)
You can tell that nya? (Mio)
I can get a rough sense of it, but I cant tell when I will level up every time. I usually can tell when it comes to things like this though. (Luna)
Thats interesting nya. (Mio)
Not really. Oh, watch out. (Luna)
Ophidia sent her opponent flying towards us and I teleported it back to the center of the room before it hit us.
Oi! Watch where you throw things Ophidia! (Luna)
Sorry master. (Ophidia)
The fight continued on for about two hours with Ophidia eventually coming out the victor. She nearly bit the snakes head off to finish it. When it was over, Ophidia slumped over and we went over to check on her.
You ok? (Velvet)
Yeah, just tired. But I won in the end so its fine. (Ophidia)
You seemed a bit angry towards the end there, what was that about? (Luna)
It insulted you master, and I wouldnt stand for that. (Ophidia)
I placed my hand on Ophidias side and started using healing magic.
Thanks for getting angry at it for me. (Luna)
Of course. Oh, and thank you for the healing magic. (Ophidia)
I nodded at her words and finished healing her. When I was done, she transformed back to human form and we went over to the corpse of the giant snake. I went up to the head and started inspecting it. I took out a few bottles and put them up to one of the fangs and a yellowish venom started seeping into them.
Oooh. Now this is some potent paralysis venom. (Luna)
I filled up several more bottles until no more venom came out. I then moved on to dismantling the rest of the head while the others worked on the rest of the body. When we were all done, we went up and touched the core of the dungeon. We were transferred to the stone door that blocked the entrance from the guild. When we exited, the same receptionist came up to us as usual and we relayed that we cleared it.
Its done. Final floor count is 100. (Luna)
Thats amazing. Thank you all for your hard work.
We went through the details and handed over the last few maps we made then we went to the room weve been staying in and went to bed. Then next day, we went to the main room and received our maps, then we bade everyone there farewell. When we got outside, snow was piled high as well as falling from the sky. Everyone grabbed onto me and I teleported us to the guild in Onigashima. When we arrived, we were on the third floor of the guild.
*Sigh* Just as empty as ever nya. (Mio)
Why is this floor always empty anyway? There should be more high rank adventurers here, right? (Soleil)
Most quests from this floor take them out of the city for a while, so they are always on quests nya. (Mio)
I see. (Soleil)
We went up to the counter and told the receptionist that we had something to report to Ibuki. They led the way to her office and we entered after knocking on the door. When inside, we saw that the mountains of paperwork were actually less than the last time we were here.
Oh, youre all back. How was it? (Ibuki)
Fine, we cleared it yesterday. (Luna)
Thats great. (Ibuki)
We all sat down and I pulled out all the maps that I made.
Here are the original maps for all 100 floors not counting boss floors. Also, there is a checkpoint on floor 51 for people to use. (Luna)
A 100 floor dungeon huh. There hasnt been a new one of those in a long time. (Ibuki)
Are they that rare? (Velvet)
Not rare per say, they just dont appear very often. We have several all over the empire, but a new 100 floor dungeon hasnt appeared for at least 200 years. All that have appeared until now have had 25 to 50 floors. (Ibuki)
How interesting. (Ophidia)
We continued our report of the dungeon and a few hours later, we were done.
Now, with the report done, I have a promise to keep. I hope you can hold off of working for a little longer Ibuki. (Luna)
If its to eat, then I can. (Ibuki)
All right then. (Luna)
I pulled several freshly cooked wyvern meat dishes out of my inventory and placed them in front of everyone.
As celebration of finishing our quest, lets have something delicious. (Luna)
The rest of my party smiled and Mio and Ibukis eyes were shining. When they started eating, it was like they turned into puddles form the bliss. We ate in silence while watching the twos reactions.
Fufufu. I see that you two enjoyed that. (Luna)
Indeed nya. I think making you my eternal friend was the greatest decision in my life nya. (Mio)
Yes. I havent had anything this good in so long. (Ibuki)
Oh, youve had something like this before? (Luna)
I meant that I havent had any really good food in a while. Im always just eating something that can be made quickly so I can work and eat at the same time. (Ibuki)
Oh. (Luna)
Before we leave for the day, I need to tell you something nya. (Mio)
What is it Mio? (Ibuki)
Im joining Lunyas party. After spending so much time with them, I cant just go back to how I was before nya. Plus, I just want to go with them nya. (Mio)
Hahahahaha. Very well, I wish you the best from now on Mio. (Ibuki)
We all got up and bid Ibuki farewell, then I teleported all of us to the island.
Whyd you bring us here Luna? (Velvet)
Why not? Since Mio is with us now, she has to pick out a room and we just finished a big quest, so I feel like a few days break should be in order. Not to mention that were going to the shrine next week for the Vanquishing festival. (Luna)
Woah nya. Where are we nya? (Mio)
Were on my floating island. Come on and choose a room to make yours. We can show you around later. (Luna)
Ok nya. (Mio)
Like this, our first dungeon quest in the empire was completed.
Chaos Realm:
Atmos: Payto!
What?
Atmos: This is frustrating. Why does this guy not just tell the girl how he feels about her? Like come on, it's soooo obvious that they like each other, why don't they just get together already?
I understand how you feel.
Atmos: And why am I even watchin this? Were are the other good animes you were telling me about?
Hey, if you're going to watch them, you have to take the good and the mediocre. I'll show you a good one after you're done with this one.
Atmos: Fine.
