"This looks pretty eerie to me." Said Yuki. She had come with us alongside Frost and Huginn and Muninn, and obviously, my beautiful Kuro-chan too, her beautiful black scales were shining brightly today. She seemed healthier now that she had been filling her belly lately. The mean idiots of the sect seemed to not even feed their pets correctly. When I adopted her after I killed her previous owner, she was actually starving.
"Woof!" Frost barked bravely as he looked into the depths of the Rank 1 Dungeon in front of us, there was a massive amount of dark aura coming out of it. He gritted his teeth, showing off his sharp fangs as if he were barking at something and not just the dungeon itself…
It is often said that dogs can perceive things that we usually cannot! Well, I can also perceive it, there's definitely a something there.
"Indeed, this place is looking rather spooky." Said Miranda, rubbing her chin as she looked into the depths of this dark dungeon, the lights were off, and you could only see pitch darkness.
"C R A A!"
"C R O A!"
The two crows sitting over my two shoulders also showed their discomfort, I petted their heads and caressed their fluffy feathers until they seemed to calm down. They were now able to reduce or increase their size around, so it was more comfortable to have them in my shoulders, and I felt kind of like Odin himself with a white and black crow, hehe.
"Grrryyyssshaaa…!"
Kuro seemed uncomfortable too, even her, a Rank 4 Beast, was rather uncomfortable of whatever was lurking inside… indeed, this was dangerous.
"What the heck can be inside of there for even Kuro to get worried? Isn't she a super strong Rank 4 beast?" asked Yuki, she was still Rank 3 and had yet to become Rank 4, though she was very close.
"Indeed, little Kuro seems worried… Welp, might as well prepare myself!" said Miranda, as she opened her pouch and summoned out of it a gigantic corpse of a snake, which she quickly parasitized and possessed using her moldy powers.
"Hehehe, this is a nice body! The Mana Core is also a nice conductor of my Mana!" she said in the form of a gigantic black snake, Kuro looked at it with surprise with her large snake mouth wide open.
She seemed to be saying "wow, a new friend!".
"Gyshi!" Kuro suddenly began to rub her head over Miranda as if she was trying to make friends with the new beast of her kin that had showed up, incidentally the corpse she was using was a male snake, so perhaps Kuro had other underhanded intentions.
I don't know how to tell her the harsh truth that this is just a corpse being possessed by Miranda, even when she saw the entire process, she cannot connect the dots properly and thought Miranda just went away and this giant snake woke up from a nap or something.
"Ugh, what's wrong with Kuro, she's rubbing all over me!" said Miranda.
"She's wants you to become her friend, she's happy there is another snake, I think." Said Yuki.
"Woof!" Frost quickly startled us out of our own world, as he roared back at the dungeon, unlike us, he had not lost any concentration and was looking directly at it still…
This wolf can sometimes be rather steady.
"Alright, looks like Frost is way too altered so let's get done with this as quickly as possible." I said.
"Hm, it would be better that way, let me help you out in this extermination. I might not look like it, but I am still a strong Rank 4 Magus… I've also kept most of my Abilities and Magic, and even my Unique Skills, so there's no way I am not useful." Said Yukihime.
"Me too, I will fight well." Said Mikoto. A ghost dragon was still as strong as a dragon, but not as strong as her original self at Rank 5. Although maybe both will reach Rank 5 again as ghosts, and even surpass that Rank one of these days… but we'll see until then.
"And of course, my lord, I am here as well to be of your service! I recently evolved so I am very strong!" said Rose. She didn't wanted to have her "personal ghost assistant" role taken away by the new ice giant ghost. As a proud former Vampiress, she couldn't accept such a thing.
"Us too, don't forget that we are here for the killing~ Hopefully there are tasty new Mana Cores- I mean, monsters… Maybe we can get a rare Skill~ Hehe… I want to bathe in blood, it's been a while!" said Skadi.
"It has only been half a week since the last battle, Skadi…" sighed Uller. He was less bloodthirsty than my psycho spear. I guess such a chill and cool personality comes with being a gigantic blade. I shaped him like Berserk's Guts Blade, so of course he's cool.
"Sure thing! You better put up your weights!" I said, as we charged forward, I mounted Frost back as Kuro was being mounted by Yuki, Huginn and Muninn sat down on my shoulders, and the
We moved forward into the darkness as I conjured the Photon Bullet Skill but instead of firing the bullet of light, I gathered it dozens of times over my hand and then encompassed it with a sphere of reflective ice, making a light bulb, which I made float using wind magic atop our heads.
The entirety of the place was finally illuminated through my special methods, as the entire dark dungeon revealed its secrets to us. The darkness was unveiled as we saw tiny little legs crawling around and running away from us, we suddenly felt that as we walked deeper into the corridors, we sensed more and more eyes looking at us eerily.
And indeed, there were also a lot of spiderwebs spread everywhere…
