Chapter 206: Kutlu's Dungeon
James realised that he had chosen one of the right branches when he chose to follow one of the many branches that ran underground.
After almost an hour of walking, James came to the entrance of a cave.
He could clearly recognise the dangerous pressure coming from inside the cave. A crimson aura seemed to be pouring out of the cave and whatever was inside seemed to be telling James that he had to leave.
This aura made James' body tremble from head to toe, his hands were shaking, and he was really frozen with fear despite all the skills he had, all the power he had.
"Be careful James, what's inside is dangerous, I don't know what it is, but in your current state you could die instantly, be ready to use your Aura of Chaos ability."
He hadn't said a word as Vlad's voice echoed in James' mind, knowing that every single word his ancestor had said was literally true.
He had slain Fallen Gods, slain dragons, and had become too close to perfection for the gods, but the pressure from this tiny cave almost reminded him of the first time he had seen Nyx.
This pressure wasn't as strong as the immense power and darkness surrounding Nyx, but at least this pressure was of that perfection.
James took a deep breath and stepped into the cavern he had found by following the mana tendrils, just as a system notification appeared in front of him:
[Kutlu's Dungeon
Welcome to the trial dungeon of the cosmic being named Kutlu. The three trials you will undergo in this dungeon will go down in history as layers that can determine your future. Kulu, who had been waiting in their absence for a long time, created this dungeon and started to wait for the arrival of his heir, whom he hoped to come in the future.
His millions of years of waiting is now over.
Dungeon Difficulty: Creator-Grade
Dungeon Prize: Blessed's Art of Death
Punishment for Failure: DEATH]
When James read the notification in front of him, he felt his heart fall into darkness. Even the difficulty of the dungeon he had entered told him clearly about the shitty situation he was in.
"Creator-Grade." James blurted out, and as he tried to regain his composure, he was met with another notification window:
[Viewer viewing is blocked until the end of the dungeon].
The moment James saw and read this notification, he realised that he was on his own. He had only his aunt and two ancestors for psychological or tactical help.
[Dungeon will be sealed until the user dies or clears the dungeon].
When another system notification appeared in front of James, the idea that there would be no way out of there was ingrained in his mind, despite all the pressure on him, he had to move forward and conquer this dungeon.
Even though the trembling had passed, he still hadn't regained his composure, and with slow steps, he made his way through the cave.
The cave, which seemed to have been formed by normal natural paths, suddenly began to be surrounded by flat, beautifully architected walls and passages began to be revealed.
James honestly didn't know what was going on. He saw three paths, and at first, he thought that this must be connected with the three exams he was going to take, so he started looking for a token to indicate this.
However, there was nothing to indicate what was what.
Sitting in the centre of the space, James looked at the three huge passageways in front of him and tried to think about what was behind their closed doors. He didn't want to bring death to himself by picking the wrong door and opening it.
The strange thing was that none of the gateways in front of him had any trace of mana. He realised this from the complete destruction of his previous mana veins.
Even though that strange power continued to suppress James, he still felt no trace of magic or aura coming towards him.
It was as if these three passages and the three doors of the passages were sealed and waiting for the person who would open them.
Taking a deep breath, James thought that there was nothing he could do now, he tried to choose with simple psychology.
He thought that perhaps the leftmost option would be an easy gateway, whatever was inside should be far less harmful than James had expected.
After all, that's how it would be in most games. From left to right the difficulty levels increased, as did the difficulty of the choices. Upon entering the tower, James wanted to choose as if he were playing a game for the first time.
After all, there was NO other solution or choice.
After a glance at his inventory, he took Selene's Throwing Knife in his left hand and tightened his grip on the holy sword Clarent in his right.
He had cleared his mind to use Aura of Chaos, if necessary, he would use 8 Sacred Fire and try to survive no matter how exhausting the flames made him.
He had dozens of moves at his disposal though.
Time element, poison element, blood element, and ice element were the basic powers he could use. In addition, he had the abilities given to him by the two classes he had and the passive abilities in his items, not to forget the passive bleeding chance in Galahad's Swordsmanship ability.
He knew that if that ability worked, he could kill almost anything below the Fallen God class if James survived till the enemy falls.
James slightly regretted not taking his daughter Miracle with him. After all, the help of a Supreme Dragon was something that could be incredibly helpful, even if it was a newborn baby.
Still, there was nothing James could do now, he had prepared everything and made up his mind to open the door.
In just a few seconds he had pushed the huge door in front of him, perhaps ten metres long, and with the door opening in the middle, the power rising out from within began to walk towards him.
The danger was just beginning.
