Chapter 62: Truid Dungeon Quest (3) Medicine Trial
Rudra lunged forward into a full-blown sprint. He dashed side to side quickly, appearing extremely nimble despite his massive size.
'Rudra is no normal creature. He has been a Domain Alpha, granting him years of expert fighting and ruling experience. His combat is superior to that of a normal Polaris Tiger.'
Rudra didn't hesitate to show this, appearing right before the serpent's mouth.
The snake instantly lunged forward to bite him, but he jumped to the side--avoiding the attack.
*CHOMP*
He bit into the side of the snake, violently pulling a large chunk off of its body.
The snake screeched in pain, quickly turning its head around before approaching Rudra again.
Rudra continued to run away from the snake's head. As he was distracted by the front of the beast, an unexpected tail swipe whipped across his abdomen--throwing him onto the ground.
Tyr furrowed his brows slightly as he saw this, 'It's not going to be easy. This is no weak beast you're fighting.'
Rudra grunted, getting back up to his feet.
'I must end this now!' He roared.
'Why now all of a sudden?' Tyr questioned in slight confusion.
'Because I am angry!' Rudra lunged into the air, landing on the center of the serpent's body.
He aggressively began to bite into the snake--blood and guts quickly flying everywhere as the snake squirmed and moved with shock and pain.
Despite this, however, Rudra's powerful paw held it in place as he dug into its back.
The snake was too far away on either side to do anything about it, and in a matter of seconds, it was split into 2.
Rudra's white fur had been stained in crimson blood, but the snake was still moving somehow.
After becoming half the length of its original size, it slithered forward before turning around and coming back for Rudra.
Its eyes were savage and maniacal now, wanting to butcher Rudra more than anything else.
Tyr was a bit scared for him, 'Pure primal aggression is something that can make you win a fight sometimes...' He thought to himself.
However, he was surprised to see Rudra charge forward at the snake.
He roared from his gut, storming forward with a primal urge to murder himself.
'Oh... that's right. Rudra is the king of this primal shit.'
Just like that, the tiger ducked below and crunched into the snake's jugular--lifting the beast into the air before shaking his head violently to tear the jugular out of the serpent's body.
The snake's half-body stopped squirming and thudded onto the floor, and Rudra let go of the torn neck that was in his mouth.
Without hesitation, he tore into the snake's body--retrieving a bloody heart before walking it back to where Tyr was and dropping it before the young man.
'Master, I have completed your request.' Rudra said, his eyes expanded as though he was eager. He was panting slightly, similar to an excited dog.
Tyr smiled, "Good job, Rudra. I expected no less of you." He patted the tiger's head. Rudra closed his eyes as he received his pats, a feeling of bliss summoning within him.
'Hahaha! I am indeed great!'
"Don't get too ahead of yourself." Tyr laughed, "There's still a lot of training we have to do to get strong enough to where nothing can stop us. Infinite Domain."
Rudra entered the Infinite Domain through Tyr's shadow.
Tyr took a good look at the heart on the ground and also the body of the creature.
And after a few seconds, it all turned to dark ash and fell over itself like a falling sand castle.
"Just like I thought... it's not a real creature. That means it wouldn't have given me any EXP either." He looked around, "There's no way a creature like that could survive in here for so long without a proper food source, water source, and an environment in general. It must be an Aura Array that has kept it alive for so long."
The noise of rocks sliding against each other sounded in the distance. Tyr squinted, looking forward as he saw a large door open up in the wall directly ahead of him.
"A hidden exit after defeating the beast huh? I mean, it's not like this place is a death trap. It's a dungeon that wants only the best to receive its treasures." This was his best idea of what a dungeon was in general right now.
To be honest, he still wasn't familiar at all with dungeons. This was his first one, after all.
In fantasy stories, they kind of just popped up out of nowhere just to seemingly help Hunters.
But of course, these were different. These were in real life, with real history behind them. All of it was something that Tyr was mildly interested in, but more than that, Tyr wanted to progress toward the treasure room.
He made his way through the exit door and arrived at another room.
This room was small, about 8 by 8 feet in size. Tyr looked up and his brows furrowed as he realized that this room either didn't have any ceiling--or the ceiling was simply over 1000 feet high. The very top looked to be a light-blue, bright color.
The super-high walls were lit up with various crystals and gems.
'Seems that the only way out.' He noted, curving his attention to the other parts of the room.
To the left was a mortar and pestle with a box beside it that seemed to be full of various ingredients.
On top of all of this, this new room didn't seem to be of the same type of structure as the rooms before it.
Instead of being made out of smooth white-stone bricks, it was like a cavern room. The walls were made of rough uneven stones.
This was also the case for the walls going all the way up.
To his right, Tyr noticed a small crop plot with multiple different kinds of herbs growing inside of it that he had never seen before.
He was confused at all of this. He walked over to the mortar and pestle and opened the small box beside it.
It was indeed filled with various ingredients and odd objects, like bones, teeth, hair, silk, small flutes and whistles, dream catchers amongst other things that Tyr couldn't exactly identify.
Finally, he took out a note that read: "Save your friend by creating a medicine. Life and Death are in your hands... will you be a good God?"
Tyr raised a brow, "Save... a friend?"
***
In an entirely separate area, Urvil was nicked by a poisonous arrow attached to a tripwire hook. Her piercing scream echoed all through the dungeon chamber she was in as her face quickly turned pale and her knees gave out from underneath her.
Cyllia and Yurin quickly ran to her aid. Yurin placed Urvil on his knees: "Hey... hey! What's wrong? Stay awake! Don't let your eyelids close!
What are you doing!?" He began to almost freak out as he saw Urvil's eyes begin to slowly close.
