Chapter 108 Avaris Greater Labyrinth (Part II)
Entering the door, we went to the second floor. The place we entered was a swamp. "Olivia, please don't say things like that next time."
She looked away, seeing we had landed where we didn't want to be. Currently, we are in a swamp. The dirty water was touching us, activating my magic. I had stopped the water from touching me.
Olivia didn't have my magic, so she had to endure dirty water. It wasn't just the water that was annoying. But it was this gloomy atmosphere filled with trees.
We didn't know where we needed to go to the next floor. There was no path for us to follow since we just needed to go in a direction and hope it was correct.
"Olivia, let's go straight." We hadn't moved since we had appeared on the second floor. So, what was in front of us was likely the direction. The dungeon wouldn't be, so sadist to put it in the opposite direction.
Olivia and I had started to move forward. I already hated this place. Not only is the area disgusting. But the monsters were some kind of bugs that looked like giant bacteria.
"Olivia, I don't blame you if you want to puke." Not only are they disgusting, but the smell is horrible. I already wanted to leave this place.
I took some stomach medicine and gave one to Olivia. I had annihilated everything that had come our way.
The monsters that had appeared had doubled since the first floor, which was rare since the first and second floors were almost identical.
Even if there wasn't a path to the boss, I had found it swimming across the swampy river. The boss here was a black crocodile.
Both Olivia and I wanted to leave this place right away. I didn't hold back and launched a plasma blast toward it.
There was no way for the black crocodile to survive an attack at this level. Walking up to it, I picked whatever it dropped. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything but the monster core.
With the doors opening, I grabbed Olivia and left the place immediately. We finally left the stench behind, and the new floor was already a better place.
"Olivia, I hope we will never go to a place like that again," I told Olivia, who also seemed to have had enough of that place.
"Do you need some time to change?" She smelled terrible after entering the swamp. Muddy water was on her legs, so the smell stayed on her.
She would be sick if she didn't clean herself right away. "I will protect you when you're changing." We were lucky that we found a pond right as we entered the third floor.
We walked to the pond to see if the water was safe. Fortunately, there weren't any monsters in the pond here. Olivia then stripped and went in for a dip.
While guarding her against any monsters coming our way, I also enjoyed the view that Olivia displayed.
There was no way for anyone to come into this area, so Olivia wasn't worried if anyone would show up or not.
"Olivia, are you finished?" She wasn't washing anymore.
"Do you need me to dry you?" To think that I would use my body as a dryer. Not that I'm complaining.
Walking toward her wet body, I changed my body temperature. I had put enough heat in to warm her up. The water coming out of her had dried right as I touched her. I touched every part of her body before we left the pond.
"Could you bring me some new clothes?" Her old clothes were dirty. Taking out new clothes from my storage, I gave them to Olivia.
The three-floor was a place similar to the one we had on our second floor in Saint Maria's dungeon. We were in a forest, where a river connected to the pond.
"Olivia, let's follow the river." Even if we got lost, we could always go back to the pond with this river.
With a direction in mind, we choose to follow the river line. I was honestly surprised that there weren't any monsters attacking when Olivia was in the pond.
"Olivia, stay behind me." I had sensed something that was hiding behind the trees. Olivia listened right away and went behind me.
I couldn't make out what monster it was, we had wandered around the forest, and this was the only thing I had sensed.
Something wasn't making sense. I felt something wrong was happening on this floor. Guarding against the monster I sensed, I sent a plasma beam to the tree. My beam had destroyed the tree, but the monster I tried to hit was unscathed.
"Fuck!" I cursed, seeing what we were up against.
The monster in front of us is pretty ominous. It was a humanoid shadow monster. What made it wrong was it was as strong as a rank three mage. And to make it worse, its strong point was its speed.
Speed-type monsters were my worst kind of enemies. I needed to test what this shadow thing could do.
Sending many beams, it merged with the shadows of the trees. Fighting this thing would be annoying because it hides seeing any attack.
There was only one thing I could do. "Olivia standing right on me." I couldn't get her caught with this crossfire.
Harnessing a quarter of my mana. I had sent a bomb to the forest. I had to destroy the forest to defeat this monster.
The forest was now on fire. It was a good thing that I was in a dungeon. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done this much damage to the environment.
The shadow monster now had nowhere to hide. Before it could run away, I sent a fast homing attack. It tried to dodge my attack, but eventually, it would be hit, killing it.
"Olivia, could you help me recover?" I should have told Olivia to boost my magic power earlier. I was too tunneled on the fact something was amiss to ask Olivia for a strengthening.
