Chapter 1331: The One Behind Everything
Chapter 1331: The One Behind Everything
As we rushed into the crystalline miasmic cave, we were instantly stopped midway through by a bunch of miasmic monsters. I was unable to properly use my Dungeon Master powers in this domain either, so I couldn't just teleport everyone away from them.
The crystalline caves atmosphere was even more toxic than the infested forest, and the clones coming from the walls were strong and gigantic, crawling towards us with ferocious and furious roars, they were all four types, my dad, Felicia, Celica, and Celeste all over again.
"Dammit! Even more of these things?! And they're made of crystals too!" said Celeste.
"Can we handle them? Uwah!" Celica stepped back as her golems blocked the attacks from her copy golems, now made of hard miasmic crystals.
"НАААН!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
My father roared, swinging his blade and unleashed a barrage of slashing attacks, with his incredible might, he slashed and reduced to ashes dozens of clones.
BOOOM!
"No time to waste, let's go! Follow me!"
My father charged forward as the mighty Hero he was, slashing away any clone that tried to stop us. Yet the clones also started coming from below, surging from the floor and trying to grab us and cut our legs with giant swords, wielded by the clones of my father.
"Dammit, they're coming from everywhere!"
I quickly cut through their arms and weapons, while firing beams of light. With Naturia, Yggdra, and Alice, we've been constantly trying to purify the entire cave, yet the crystals that made it were incredibly hard, and the miasma too dense.
Whenever we cleansed an area, it would instantly be contaminated again, making all our efforts worthless! At the end, I wasn't as amazing as my mom, if she were here, we would easily cleanse everything.
"I'll take care of the back; you keep moving forward!"
Felicia suddenly stayed behind, as she used her powerful magic to easily destroy all the clones coming for us, while also shattering those coming from beneath, freezing them and then
heating them, making them explode instantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Thank you, Felicia!"
My dad looked slightly relieved, as we advanced through the corridor, only for something else to begin happening now. the walls themselves started moving, trying to close on us and crush
us!
"T-The corridor is becoming tighter!" Celica cried.
"Are you kidding me?!" Celeste groaned. "I thought all of this would be some easy monster hunting, but it's getting a bit ridiculous, Sylphy!"
"I'm sorry! I'll make up for it later!" I could only apologize, because all what was happening was my fault at the end. "Come!"
I quickly grabbed the two of them and then Felicia with my Yggdragon Aura, wrapping them around with several dragon tails, and rushing forward.
"Dad!"
"Yeah!"
Dad grabbed Ivy and Bark, and then we started running as quickly as we could, the walls only closing faster and faster. Growing thinner. I quickly summoned Brownie here, as he used his powers to control the crystals to an extent, making them move even slightly slower.
"Thank you Brownie! Please hang in there!"
"Chuuu, chuu, chuuu!"
He was growing redder as he was using all his powers to keep the walls from closing on us. At the same time, I activated the powers of the bracelet yet again. I could see the end of the corridor, I just had to reach it.
I can't easily use the Dungeon Master powers anymore, that teleportation ability was so useful... But what I can do is remember that feeling, the power of moving through space.
I started constructing a magic circle, my father nor Felicia knew teleportation magic, only mom was good at using it.
So everything depended on me!
"Come on, come on...!"
RUMBLE!
The walls began rapidly moving again, Brownie dissipated into particles of spirit energy, coming back to my Soulscape all exhausted.
He died?!
I looked behind, suddenly realizing a monstrosity made of crystals was chasing us, moving across the walls with ease.
Shit, this is getting ridiculous!
"Come on...! HAAAH!"
The magic circle was done, and the bracelet shone with an azure color, an explosion of blue
light surged.
BOOOM!
The crystals were destroyed and suddenly stopped moving.
The magic circle failed, but the space attribute shockwave was strong enough to shatter these diamond-hard crystals with ease.
"Well, it still worked somehow!" said Ivy, laughing.
"Incredible, my goddess!" Bark praised me.
"T-There's no time to praise me, that thing's coming!" I said. "Dad?!"
"I'll take care of it!" Dad suddenly left Ivy and Bark behind and rushed to fight it. "RAAAH!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
He slashed through the monster's body parts with ease, but they kept regenerating back, endlessly growing more and more crystals.
"GRUOOHHHH!"
It roared furiously, conjuring deadly magic circles, and firing giant spears of crystalized miasma imbued with demonic power.
"T-This is, demonic power?!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
My father clashed against them and easily parried them, quickly beginning to transform, his
remaining spirits merging with his body.
"Salamander! Give me your power!"
"Very well."
FLUOSH!
Dad suddenly gained red and orange scales, and an overall reptilian armor made of scales and flames, as he rushed towards the monstrosity, most likely a Tier 10 Miasmic abomination, blowing up pieces of it with his blazing attacks.
"It looks like it's going to take a while! Felicia, I'll leave them to you! Take down the Miasmic
Lord!"
"Wait, dad!"
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, the ceiling above started moving down, creating a giant wall separating the two of
us, I tried to run to stop it, but Felicia grabbed me and dragged me back.
"DAD!"
He smiled back, his eyes blazing with flames.
"Don't worry, Sylphy! Your dad got this!"
ВАААМ!
"Sylphy! Don't go chasing him! He's Allan, he'll be fine no matter what!"
"B-But what if it's not the case anymore?!"
"Enough! Trust your father! He's strong, stronger than ever before actually, now let's go! We
have a Miasmic Lord to kill!"
Suddenly, Felicia's Aura transformed into a giant ice and fire draconic bird-like creature,
grabbing us all and flying to the end of the corridor, the ceiling behind us was constantly
closing, walls after walls appearing.
RUMBLE!
And once the last one closed, we barely managed to get through it, right below, and then rolling into the end of the corridor, a gigantic hall of purple and red crystals.
CRASH!
As the walls closed behind us, we gasped for air, feeling exhausted.
"It looks like you've made it here... Congrats!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
And then a voice echoed, a slightly annoying, familiar voice.
The voice of a man I once confronted, someone that had tried to take Celeste's soul away.
"W-Wha...?!"
We all froze before his presence, it wasn't even his real form, but a fragment of a piece of his true divinity, yet it was here, present.
A huge crack in space had opened in the middle of the hall, leading to a hellish landscape where crimson flames and demonic energy rushed into the hall, feeding an egg-shaped
crystal.
That's... a demon gate?!
And inside of that egg, there was something growing.
That's not an egg, it's the lord's cocoon!
But above all...
Him!
"Y-You're...?!" even Felicia's eyes widened in shock. "Impossible! How are you here?!"
We all looked at the origin of the voice that greeted us.
A phantasmal being made of miasma and demonic energy, and a tiny piece of his divinity.
A muscular man with blue skin and many arms, and a cunning smile.
"I am the master and creator of all dungeons. What's wrong with me being here?"
"The Evil God of Dungeons..."
