Chapter 206 Cap 205: Dungeon Of The Undead Part: 3(Chapter Preview)

As soon as we arrive in town I tell everyone to go do what they want and I'm going with Layla to the Adventurers Guild, it's already nightfall so I hope the Guild isn't too crowded.

"How can you sleep all day while we're still inside a dungeon?"  (I)

"It was really annoying to see others fighting monsters so weak, besides what could happen in the first twenty floors of a dungeon that would endanger people who had defeated a Grade S monster?"  (Layla)

"You are making arguments as an excuse for your laziness."  (I)

"You have to learn not to let your guard down in unfamiliar places, your logic is also very naive."  (I)

"You know that unpredictable things can happen, an example of that was when we were in the Dungeon of the Great Serpent and we found the novice killers, then there was the Evil Seed break and the monster wave."  (I)

"Things like that can happen when you're less prepared and with my luck, it will definitely happen, so I never let my guard down, you should do the same."  (I)

"The master is very serious, he should learn to relax and have more fun, there's nothing wrong with taking a day off."  (Layla)

Sigh

"(The problem is that you want to take every day off.)" (I)

While talking to Layla I arrive at the Guild and ask a receptionist to tell Carlos or Mari that I'm here, so the receptionist goes up and back in a few minutes taking me to Carlos' office where I only see Mari sitting reading some papers.

"If you're looking for that muscle head missed the trip, he's at the Duke's house."  (Mari)

"Is he still at work delivering reports on things that have happened to the Duke?"  (I)

"No, that idiot went drinking at the Duke's house for finally finishing all the work we've been doing with the special mission Diana participated in, the new dungeon and the monster wave."  (Mari)

"And you didn't complain about him going out for drinks?"  (I)

"No, he deserves this rest, the Duke is also a workaholic and doesn't have many chances to rest, but with my husband around he won't have much choice."  (Mari)

I walk in and take a chair across from Mari who is sitting in the Guild Master's seat at her desk.

"Well it doesn't matter if he's not here right now, I can talk to you about it too."  (I)

"Did something happen?"  (Mari)

"Nothing much, just a few of my doubts, as you already know today I went exploring the Dungeon of the Undead with my group."  (I)

"Yes, you came in the morning to pick up the special mission Carlos prepared for you."  (Mari)

"Did something happen inside the Dungeon?"  (Mari)

"Not exactly, just wanted to talk about something."  (I)

"Ask what you want."  (Mari)

"As you know me and my group have already conquered the Great Serpent Dungeon."  (I)

"But even on the top floor of that dungeon I've never seen miasma, this Dungeon of the Undead has miasma since the first floor and it only gets worse with each floor deeper."  (I)

"I know, that's one of the reasons that place is giving us so much trouble, if it weren't for you and your group to be here, then we would have a hard time getting rid of this dungeon."  (Mari)

"What I find strange is that the only time I felt so much miasma in one place was when I was present when the Evil Seed was broken, plus the number of monsters on each floor is very large compared to the Great Serpent Dungeon ."  (I)

"Those are good doubts, so starting places with a lot of Undead always has a lot of miasma, not only that but the stronger the Undead monsters, the stronger the miasma in the area."  (Mari)

"So imagine an Undead-only dungeon, a place like this will have a lot of miasma, but you're right to worry, normally the miasma in this type of dungeon would only appear from floor 40 onwards, but the miasma appears from the first walk which I also find strange."  (Mari)

"But about the number of monsters being bigger I can say that you're right, besides you don't have any more adventurers entering that dungeon, so it's normal to have more monsters."  (Mari)

"I see, thanks for the info."  (I)

"One more thing, Carlos and I got together with some friends to try and clean up this dungeon, but as you know we couldn't because of the miasma."  (Mari)

"We were only able to get to floor number 51, which means that after that floor there will be a lot more monsters and chests as there was no one who went there before."  (Mari)

"From what I could see this dungeon doesn't pose much danger to me and my group, so it doesn't matter if there are more monsters."  (I)

"Brave words, but don't get too confident."  (Mari)

"You'll see, the master and I will conquer this dungeon in a few days."  (Layla)

While I was talking to Mari a nosy fairy got in the way of the conversation while sitting on my shoulder.

"Finally decided to show off little Fairy? Seems like you have a lot of trust in your Contractor, don't you?"  (Mari)

"The master is very smart, but he is also very careful, he would only accept your husband's request because I convinced him."  (Layla)

"I know that Carlos told me about you, thanks for your help, have a cookie."  (Mari)

Mari opens a drawer and takes out a round biscuit that she throws to Layla, which she starts eating the moment she takes it.

"What a strange Fairy you have Zenos, why does she hide her wings?"  (Mari)

"It's also weird that she looks so much like you, her hair, her skin color, and her eyes...." (Mari)

"Don't try to dig my secrets Mari, not even the Assassin Guild master could, so don't try."  (I)

"(I'll use Lucas' name to keep her from continuing her questions.)" (I)

"I'm not investigating you, I just found her appearance curious."  (Mari)

"Besides, every adventurer has their secrets, even if it looks like you have too many secrets I'm not going to go any deeper into it."  (Mari)

"Thank you for understanding."  (I)

After that I got up and said goodbye to Mari, I already found out what was confusing me inside the Dungeon today, now it's time for me to go back to the mansion.

----------

After I came back I gathered everyone to talk about the Dungeon, I said that I intend to go to floor 40 tomorrow and everyone agreed, I also delivered the monster materials that we got today to Nira, she will evaluate, distribute and sell whatever is leftover.

After the meeting I called Vanessa to walk with me through the gardens of the mansion, I did this because I wanted to know more about her way of fighting, which impressed me a lot today.

As we walked through the garden the Fairies and Infant Spirits would fly around me and every now and then I would throw some energy for them to eat away from me.

Meanwhile, Vanessa explained to me that the Martial Art she used today was taught by her old father, this is a basic martial art for those who are learning to fight, she started using this martial art to adapt faster to her body, then From this, she started to use her own way of fighting little by little and tried to include her wings in her combat mode, which took a while to do.

She said that she was happy with the resolve of the training she did, also said that she will use tomorrow to train with her spells and skills that she didn't use today.

After this conversation, I went to my room with Vanessa and Layla, as soon as we entered I put on the barrier of silence and get ready to drink Dragon's blood.

After filling my glass with blood I drink it all at once, feel my throat burn and the energies destroy my body, I try to resist the urge to scream and I endure the pain.

After a few seconds or minutes, I feel similar energy in my blood again absorbing this wild energy then the pain stops and I see a magic circle around me that emanates comfortable energy.

Looks like Vanessa was healing me at the same time she was being hurt, I thank her for that.

Ding!

<[ Her bloodline has become stronger and purer [ True Dragon: 10%> 15% ] ]>

After that, I appreciate Vanessa and Layla's help, so I'm going to sleep, I need to be in great condition for tomorrow, even if I'm not going to fight, I have to at least be ready to go into combat if I need to.

zzzzzz...

Zzzzz...

zzzz...

----------

The next day everyone woke up early and got ready, after we eat I have a brief meeting explaining the monsters that are registered in the information Carlos gave saying that they appear on the floors where we are going tomorrow.

After that we all left for the Dungeon, we were talking along the way, I noticed that Vanessa, Irina, and Irius are laughing and talking, it seems that as the three were once part of the Church of Light and are now my children ended up having a lot in common what made them create a bond of sympathy for each other, I'm happy to see them getting along that way.

"Admiring your kids getting along well?"  (Ivan)

"Yes, their story is similar, it made them understand each other easier."  (I)

"They're lucky you found them, master."  (Ivan)

"I and my daughter are lucky for that too, I dreamed for twenty years to see her smile just one more time, now I see her smile every day."  (Ivan)

"Don't thank me so often Ivan, I wasn't totally selfless in helping you guys, you know that."  (I)

"At least you've always made your intentions clear, you may not have noticed, but see how many different races are working for you?"  (Ivan)

"..." (I)

"You treat us all equally, you treat us all like family, for me who lost almost all of my family this is very important."  (Ivan)

"This isn't the time for these sentimental bone bag conversations, we're almost there at the Dungeon."  (Layla)
