Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 170 - The Last Floor



The group opened the large door which stood at the bottom of the small staircase they had just gone down. 

They couldn't see anything on the other side, except a pitch white colour. 

"It's Space magic, Master, doesn't this mean..." 

"Yeah, unless we beat the boss or another party comes open the door for us, we won't be able to make it back." 

"Ms. Sylvia... You're joking, right?" Serena asked with a nervous look 

It was understandable, it was the last floor, the last thing they needed was for their fight to be in an unknown location. 

"I won't force you three to come, John, this is one of the last things I can offer you as a teacher, for a disciple, you did well to make it this far." Said Master Sylvia 

Despite her straight face not showing it, John could tell that his master was troubled by something. But he couldn't force his party to go through with something so dangerous too... He didn't know what to say. 

"Isn't it a bit too late to say that?" Serena asked 

"But didn't you just say that you wouldn't mind head-" 

"Don't live in the past, John." Serena interrupted. 

[This girl...] 

"I agree with Serena. We should finish this off and go home." Said Ariel. 

Seeing how everyone was on board, John looked over at his Master with a smile as he said: 

"And there you have it, Let's finish this and go home, Master." 

Seeing this, Master Sylvia looked at everyone before she turned to the door and said: 

"Be careful." 

She then walked through it. Right before she passed through, John could see a smile formed on her face. Those were rare but were a sight to look at. 

The three followed behind and walked through the door, completely aware but unprepared for the difficulties which lied ahead of them. 

------------------------------------------------- 

After passing through the door, John opened his eyes. He was in a giant familiar room, which he recognised from the moment he awoke. 

"This isn't the dungeon... Hey, Zestari." Said John as he turned around. 

Zestari was behind him, she stood there quietly without saying anything, he couldn't tell what was wrong since her facial expressions were invisible to him, but he could feel that she wasn't in a good mood. 

"Why aren't you saying anything?" John asked. 

"Take a proper look around at the room." 

Doing as he was told, John looked around. It was then that he noticed, it was no longer half of the room which was clouded in darkness but around 3 quarters of it. 

"Do not use possession, no matter what. Promise me that." Said Zestari as she faced him. 

John didn't have to ask to know what would happen if the entire room became clouded in darkness, in fact, he felt like Zestari might have been doing something to slow down the progression. 

"Don't worry, I promise I won't use it." John said with a nervous smile. 

"John, this isn't something you can take lightly, your soul will be consumed. This isn't just your consciousness... This room is linked to your spirit." 

As he heard this, not an ounce of surprise appeared on John's face, only a smile as he said. 

"I know, I always knew. Don't worry zestari, I won't let myself be consumed, I promise." 

"John, Wai-!" 

------------------------------------------- 

John opened his eyes once more and couldn't believe his eyes, he was there, on the last floor. Along with his master and friends. 

It was a big room, bigger than all of the rooms in the dungeon so far, walls were high and wide. It seemed to be made out of a special stone glowed a radiant white colour and appeared to reach over 100 meters in height. 

The ceiling was covered by a half sphere which stretched all around one side to the other. It seemed to be made out of something looking most likely like glass. 

And as they looked through the sphere, they could see the sky which was outside. There was no way that it was the real sky since they were 5 floors underground, but since they teleported through space, maybe they weren't even in the dungeon anymore. 

Something about the sky felt wrong, it didn't feel like the sky at all. It was night-time and there were stars, but the moon looked unnatural like a dark sun. 

Their attention was all focused on the sky, but it was quickly changed as they looked at what stood in the middle of the room. 

There was a bridge which led to an arena, much bigger than the other floors. It was surrounded by a dark pit. Something they had already expected. 

What stood in the middle of the room however, was unexpected. 

A single being? 

"A person?" Ariel asked. 

It was a lady. She looked to be just as old as Master Sylvia, around her 20s. Long white hair with a medium-balanced frame. 

She had a lot of armour on her body, held onto a spear which was planted into the ground beside her as she remained in the middle with her eyes shut. Just by looking at her face, the word 'angel' would come to anyone's mind. 

Well anyone except for John's as he already had two angels by his side. 

"We don't really have to kill another person to complete this dungeon now, do we?" John asked. 

Serena and Ariel both looked worried, they had expected a giant monster, but instead got another person like them. 

"Don't worry, that's not a person." Said Master Sylvia as she pulled out her daggers. 

They already had flames oozing out of them, from this John could tell that it wasn't time to worry about whether it was a person or not. 

Not only that, but after taking a closer look, John could see the stains of blood on her armour and spear. 

"It's a monster which has been forced to fight for this dungeon for years.. Rather than being worried about killing it, we should be worried about it killing us." said Master Sylvia as she began crossing the bridge
