BXBX NOVEL Chapter 940: Moving To The Mithril Mountains
"Me neither!"
In front of my party of friends and familiars, a huge cave section stretched endlessly across the interior of the Mithril Mountains. We had just landed in the very entrance of the White Dragon Dungeon. By merely stepping in here, we could feel the Dragon\'s powerful presence.
Erika and I were the first ones to step inside the Dungeon. This place, despite looking rather normal for a section of caves, and with an entrance that didn\'t even have a gate, was indeed a Naturel Dungeon. Not the same as the Artificial Dungeons that were located over at Stronghold.
Those Dungeons were apparently made by the Architect, a "Deity" that is the guardian of the Dwarves. It seems that the alliance between Continents didn\'t just include the mortals, but even the Divine beings that watch over each continent created an alliance.
Nonetheless, although we\'ve grown used to those Dungeons with systematic floors and rewards, Natural Dungeons are the more "normal" way a Dungeon works. They\'re born from corrupted Mana, Miasma, which spreads naturally through the land.
The Miasma not only distorts the land but also space itself, create a strange internal dimension where the dungeon becomes located. Monsters naturally spawn here, and even a boss is decided. Sometimes, a Dungeon Core can be formed if a Dungeon is old enough, which helps them grow even larger and produce even more monsters when they feed on the souls and mana of whatever their monsters kill.
This Dungeon was immensely large and encompassed the entire interior of the Mithril Mountains caves that were once dug by people. However, it has no real "floors" you either go to the left, right, up and down depending in the paths of the caves that were previously dug down.
However, I can sense it, the White Dragon\'s presence is below us, hiding within the core of the Mountain, either sleeping or snacking on the precious Mithril, which our armies need to forge strong enough weapons that can damage the demons without melting against their demonic energy-imbued blood.
"So this is the White Dragon\'s Dungeon, it doesn\'t even have a name, but it does feels like a Dungeon. The whole atmosphere changed the moment we stepped here." Erdrich analyzed his surroundings. "And the White Dragon\'s presence… I can\'t feel it at all, is he hiding from us?"
"No, it has simply not even noticed us." I laughed. "He is looking down on us, believing we are just insects that don\'t even deserve his attention. We are going to prove him wrong though."
"Insects?!" Chris groaned. "We\'ve been growing stronger all this time and this bastard is looking down on us… I just reached Rank 4 too!"
"I suppose, as Blake said, we just need to prove him wrong, Chris." Eric smiled, readjusting his glasses.
"I never thought I would reach Rank 4 so quickly… it was all thanks to the EXP we earned from the Demon invasion that happened out of nowhere!" Said Alberta, moving around with her extremely heavy-looking full body armor.
"Yeah! I\'m glad you guys got to Rank 4 already." Said Erika. "We are just a bit from reaching max level ourselves, right Eli?"
"Yep, Rank 5 is right around the corner, you guys better catch up quickly." Elizabeth teased them.
"Well it\'s easy to say that when you girls got five-star talents from the get-go, we had to grow from much lower stars!" Chris complained.
"Didn\'t Blake have like no stars at all?" Asked Eric. "He had no talent, now that I remember."
"Yeah, I acquired one after reaching level 10 without one, thanks to the Grimoire." I explained to them. "Elfriedden, what\'s wrong?" I noticed he was slightly nervous.
"N-Nothing is wrong!" He was startled due to my question. "I also am Rank 4… I am totally alright. With my new Spirit and the Skills I\'ve forged and leveled up, I am invincible… Yet."
"Yet?" I wondered.
"A-Are you sure we can do this now? Can\'t we come back later? Like, in another time, once we get a bit stronger? I mean… Isn\'t that White Dragon a Divine Being too? I know it can\'t be stronger than Fafnir but…" Elfriedden muttered. "All Dragons are Divine Beings of S Rank at the very minimum.
But I fear this being could even surpass S Rank…"
"I know it might feel like I am being overly confident for no reason, but trust me, I\'ve calculated this for a while. And using my summons, I\'ve also analyzed the level of the monsters here, and the power the White Dragon holds." I revealed.
"Wait, you have?!" Erdrich asked. "H-How so?"
"I sent an army of fifty Familiars here some time ago, made them battle the White Dragon. I was able to see some of his abilities and gauge a part of his power." I explained. "And it\'s not like I have gone all out, even against Lilith, I didn\'t unleash all my power. I\'ve grown considerably. I will take on the White Dragon on my own if necessary.
You will have to simply attack it while I take all its attacks. And if things go to the worst possible scenario, I can easily get all of us out using my Shadows. We can try until it works. As long as you guys are willing to come alongside me."
I looked at my friends, and they all nodded. Elfriedden sighed.
"Fine, I guess…" The elf crossed his arms. "I did ask you to help me free my continent from the demons as well, a monumental task by itself. The bare minimum I can do is return the favor with your hometown."
"Hah, you think too highly of you, long ears." Laughed Erdrich.
"Shut up!" Elfriedden groaned.
"Enough, I\'ve heard your words, Elfriedden. Let\'s go. There\'s a huge group of monsters about to greet us." I smiled.
"Monsters? How many?" Erika wondered.
"At least a thousand." I laughed. "Prepare yourselves, this is going to take a bit of time. {Summon Familiar}"
Hundreds of cards appeared in my hands as they materialized into large battalions of all kinds of Familiars. One thousand Dragon-type Monsters, all of them A Rank at minimum, arrived.
"ROOAAR!"
