Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 190: Entered the dungeon

Nessa looked at them as they approached the other team and realized they were the ones they were waiting on and were also the ones that Yonja and his team warned her about, the best friend and the leader of the team.

"So he is the leader and she, the best friend?" Nessa asked and Sophia smiled.

"Yes, you have it right," Sophia responded and Nessa sighed.

"They seem like trouble," She mumbled and Sophia nodded.

"That's because they are but he is strong, his name is Ian and the girl's name is Lara," Sophia said and Nessa smiled.

Ian was tall, slim, and muscular, with short dark hair and blue eyes, whereas Lara was tall, slim, fair, with blue eyes and long blonde hair.

"Ian, what took you guys so long?" Yonja asked.

"I had to take care of something Yonja..." He responded as his attention diverted to Nessa and her friends.

"Now, what do we have here, who is this cutie?" He asked with a smirk and Yonja looked at Nessa as Ian approached her and Isamu and Teruo stood beside her.

"This is Nessa, she is with my team and is joining us this time," Yonja responded.

"Nessa, nice to meet you, I am Ian," He said as he brought forth his hand and she smiled.

"Nice to meet you as well," She replied before shaking his hand.

"What rank are you?" He asked.

"C," She responded and he smiled.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes, she is, shall we get going, we are already late and you can thank yourself for that Ian," Yonja responded as he walked away and the others chuckled as they followed him through the woods.

"You're like a cranky old man, you need to calm down a little," Ian said, to which Yonja scoffed.

"Don't give me that crap, Ian, you know how this goes, do you think they care if we die or live? Who knows what lies within that dungeon? No one, because no one got to the actual target," He replied, and Ian sighed. Sophia patted Yonja on the shoulder, and he glanced at her, and she smiled, and Nessa looked at Ian.

"Let me get this straight, we are all being paid to clear this dungeon, more money to set you for a lifetime, without knowing what it is at the core of the dungeon and anything great has to be returned to the royals, do I have that right?" Nessa asked.

"Yes, you have it right, ever since..." Yonja responded with a sigh and Nessa walked up beside him and he looked at her then smiled.

"Things changed ever since the king and queen left, for some reason it's weird," He said and Nessa scoffed.

"Yeah, well, maybe you guys should know a bit more about a few things, but I will leave that be for now let's just clear the dungeon and see what it is that's in there other than money that's so valuable," She replied and he nodded as they arrived at a broken down entrance between a hill and they sighed as a cold air blew out of it.

"Well, we are here, I have to say, I don't mind going back right now, but, whatever," Cortan said and they laughed, then looked at each other and Nessa smiled before walking ahead of them and stepping into the dungeon and the others smiled, then Yonja and the others stepped in with her followed by the other team and the hall was lit up with torches on the wall.

"Magic," Nessa said, and the others drew their weapons as they progressed deeper into the dungeon, when the ground began to vibrate and the walls behind them began to move, and Sophia gasped as it blocked their path back to the entrance, and they looked at each other.

"If we go back we will find the entrance back the hard way, I suggest we clear this dungeon if we want to leave here in one piece," Ian said as he kept on walking forward and they followed him.

"I take it this is the first part of this dungeon? First level?" Niva asked and Nessa looked around with her eyes glowing blue, but sensed nothing around them.

'Do you sense anything bad here?' Nessa asked.

[There is no sign of anything moving anywhere near you guys, and the dungeon has multiple sections, some of which are filled with different life force, I sense a bit of forest life as well, and there are many doors with strong magical powers covering them.]

"What on earth is inside this dungeon?" Nessa mumbled.

[Dungeons usually contain a variety of items, such as artifacts from the past, gold, diamonds, or magical items that can grant you special abilities; however, dungeons are unpredictable, and you never know what will happen next.]

'Now this is going to be a problem since know one even knows about all the types of danger that could be lurking in here,' Nessa thought and Isamu and Teruo looked at her then she sighed.

"What's the matter?" Sophia asked and Nessa glanced at her then smiled.

"Nothing, just thinking about what we might actually bump into in here, I have learnt that places like these contains many different types of threat and now I am wondering which type among them awaits us," She responded and Sophia sighed.

"Even I am worried about that, we could all be in more trouble than we know, this dungeon gives me the creeps," Sophia said and Nessa smiled.

"Don't worry, all we have to do is stick together and we will be just fine, hopefully," Nessa replied and Niva chuckled and they looked back at her.

"What?" Sophia asked.

"We can use our abilities together, if necessary, there are so many ways to survival, relax a bit, the more you fear, the worse it gets for you," She responded.

"She is right as well, if we stick together and try our best not to get separated, our chances of survival will be higher, we have to be on guard," Nessa added and Yonja nodded then Sophia sighed while holding her sword firmly in her hands.
