Chapter 101 Forbidden Dungeon Conquest - Second Floor Pt.II
There was something odd with the giant undead. Its eyes flared as a weird dark aura took over its body. Its speed suddenly went up. It charged at Aeri who was on the ground and kicked her face, attempting to knock her out.
‘Kawaii!’
She jumped straight for the attack. Her sword glowed a bright red as she lifted it up, holding it like it were some javelin pole. Her arm increased in size and with what I assumed was all her might, she threw the blade at the giant undead. The attack was so fast the giant had no time to react. The blade was stuck in its body, coming out right through the front.
‘Damn it! I hate to admit it, but swordsmanship isn’t my thing!’
It was tough coming to terms with that fact. But it had to be done. I lifted my hands up and charged a huge chunk of my mana to create one huge fireball before.
‘[Divine Fire Ball]!’
The large white flame was released right at the undead. Unfortunately, there was the problem of Aeri being there with the creature. Fortunately, I was adept at using shadows to have my way with everything so I teleported her behind me as the fire ball made a direct impact on the creature.
Surprisingly enough, this wasn’t enough to make it go down. At this point, its body was set ablaze as it walked towards us.
‘Ah! I didn’t call for a giant ghost rider you damned undead!’
When I looked, I noticed something sticking out on the tip of Kawaii’s sword. A crystal orb of sorts.
‘Lady Hinotori! That orb! It may be the undead’s weakness!’
Kala’s voice came into my head. It was a bit different from [Telepathy]. In fact, it was more like a radio than anything. That wasn’t really important though.
‘Will regular magic destroy it?’
‘I don’t know! B-But brute force will do the trick for sure.’
I looked to my side and saw Aeri still on the ground. I didn’t have time to wait for her to get up now. I seriously underestimated this thing’s capabilities.
‘Ah whatever. I don’t like this idea, but to hell with it!’
I rose the shadows to bind its limbs. Although the undead was so strong I was struggling to keep it in check and the closer the shadows got to the fire, the harder it was to control them. They got thinner, requiring me to pour in more shadows which wasn’t really easy to do.
‘If I can’t finish him off with the shadows, I’ll just bind him for a moment.’
With all my strength, I forced the shadows to grab the skeleton’s arms and legs. This took a whooping 200 mana points out of me. And this was with my cheats that allowed me to use shadows and magic with little mana. He was simply that strong.
‘Everyone, attack it with long range attacks on my signal.’
“Huh? W-We don’t have long range attacks!”
Aeri complained and I looked at Ulva who was shaking and looked on the verge of tears. Kawaii was holding up her shield as she looked at the beast and seemed like she was prepping for something crazy. Kala just stood there, probably unsure of what to do since lightning didn’t work on undead. I however had a thought after a flashback of her skillset came to mind.
‘Ah, Kara. Since you have an affinity for the Holy element, add that to your lightning. It should work on them, right?’
I suggested to her. She looked at me as if that was something no one was supposed to know.
‘H-How did you know?’
‘Just add it to your lightning! Now.’
Shakily, she nodded her head.
‘I-It will take some time.’
‘What? Why would it take time? Tch, never mind. I’ll do this myself.’
“Bu-“
We didn’t really have time for this, so I would simply finish this thing off by myself. I didn’t wait for her. I jumped straight at the beast and used my [Aura Burst] to give me a short boost in all physical starts. I used [Sprint], [Charge], [Throttle] and [Peck], forming what I termed, [Battle Ram]. I shot another [Divine Fire Ball] at the undead as I rammed right into the gem sticking on the outside.
CRACK… CRACK… BOOM!
There was a large red explosion followed by a dangerous bright red light that sent me flying right into the ground beneath it. I was forced to endure the full brunt force of the explosion while on the ground and my health points ran faster than the flash to save his girlfriend.
“Ah! …tori!”
“…ig… sis…”
“L…dy… Hi… ri.”
The sounds of everyone’s cries gradually lessened as time went by. There was a certain pinging sound that came into my ear drums as my vision dimmed. My body was simply too heavy and my brain too exhausted to think.
DING!

Dhijan Nation, Hero Princesses Throne Room
"Sister Neburis! Sister Neburis, did you hear?"
The girl with dark purple hair called out as she looked up at the one who sat on the tallest throne.
"Shut it Rulis, I'm not interested in whatever it is you've heard."
The dark haired beauty ordered, not even sparing the girl a glance.
"But sister Neburis! Sister Neburis!"
The girl called out again.
"Younger sister Rulis, Neburis told you to keep quiet."
The blonde gem who sat on the second tallest throne said.
"Sister Jeanne. Sister Jeanne. Did you hear?"
Rulis then directed her attention to the blonde.
"Oh my, Younger sister Rulis, what happened?"
Jeanne asked with a curious smile.
"Did you hear? There was an attack on Dirthaven."
"Oh?"
The blonde was a bit surprised.
"Apparently there was an incident where about a thousand shadow demons appeared in the ugly capital. That fat dumbass fucking pig's mansion suddenly disappeared."
"A thousand shadow demons?"
"Damn it Rulis, shut up. If the king hears, I'll have to give up my peace and move out to do something annoyingly boring."
"Ok, ok, big sister Neburis. Whatever you want."
The girl expressionlessly said as she sat back up.
"But to think that Keimen would receive such a blow like this again, after six years ago. That nobleman was the only reason they weren't completely wiped out yet."
Jeanne said with a seemingly worried tone.
"I don't think the other nations will stay quiet after this now."
Neburis cursed under her breath
"Something crazy is about to happen very soon."
"Ah… I'm guessing you are talking about the Elder Clan Meeting. That's right. It's happening in a week, isn't that the case?"
The dark haired beauty got off her throne and began to leave the throne room.
"Sister Neburis, where are you going?"
"I'm bored. I'm going to a dungeon to kill some monsters."
"Make sure to come back for dinner."
"Tch. Shut up. I'll eat with the monsters I find in the dungeon."
"What? You mean you will eat them right?"
"I already told you to shut up!"
