Chapter 25 - Melting Point

I know the general direction towards this dungeon, but...

"Explain guide, why is it beneath me?"

----

So I need to look for an entrance, it's call's so far is close to sending me to my boiling point. If it wants something why can't it send a talking monster to me? Is it that lazy or just a newborn?

Thanks to detection, I was able to locate the entrance pretty soon. But the annoying call gets even louder, I feel like I'm gonna start losing it. 

[Dungeon Duel Initiated]

[Both participants territories will remain unchanged for the duration of the Duel]

[Challenged participant will choose the mode]

[Challenged participant has chosen 'Winner takes all']

[No rules shall be set as a result (Excluding the aforementioned rule of unchangeable territories)]

[300 seconds countdown for preparation will begin]

[During this time neither participants are allowed to preemptively start]

...the hell?

"...Guide, explain at once"  ( Alicia )

 ----

"I understand so far, however, I wish to know how I got dragged into such an event?"  ( Alicia )

----

"Why have you never mentioned anything about this?"  ( Alicia )

----

...Wow, this is just great. So it was all a trap. Thought I could at least trust a fellow dungeon spirit. But just as I stepped in to expect some hospitality, it's just a trap.

"Hi, there newbie."  (???)

"Good morning, to what do I owe this sudden displeasure?"  ( Alicia )

I don't see anyone or anything in the vicinity, but the voice echoes all around me. At this point, though I'm boiling with so much rage I'm far passed my boiling point.

"Oh? should you be taking such an attitude towards, the awesome me!?"  (???)

"I don't recall anything for me to treat such an 'awesome' coward with any level of respect."  ( Alicia )

"Shut up! A mere E-class monster should know your place."  (???)

"Peeping at a ladies secret is filthy."  ( Alicia )

This guy seems to be built specifically to piss us off. This vampire body may be between F and E rank in terms of pure stats, but these stats will increase soon enough thanks to the founder's bloodline this body naturally possesses. But to call this sub-core an E-class, normally this body gives off the feeling of being a D-class and by no mistake either, as it does possess the fighting strength of a real D-class when it's abilities are in use.

It either must've peeked at my stats through some method or examined this body, which is disgusting in its own right.

"Alright, I've decided, I will turn you into a seedbed for my monsters after I'm done with you!"  (???)

"You wish to taint this sacred self of mine?"  ( Alicia )

[Pride requests temporary access to DP]

[Accept?]

 This was something I encountered when Pride wanted to peruse the catalog to get something like the 'Purification spell scroll' or the 'Purifier stone'. All to keep filth off of itself before but now it seems bent on destroying this irritating filth.

I didn't notice it before since Pride hasn't done anything so far except insult this spirit. But the smile on my face is getting scary, I can now tell at this point even Pride is losing it. 

"Don't worry, I will treat you well. After all, I don't get to see many idiots who choose to give birth to Founder-type monsters. I'll be sure to pop at least several hundreds pure-breed vampires out of you. Huahahahaha"  (???)

"I see."  ( Alicia )

[Pride strongly requests temporary access to DP]

[Accept?]

Dammit, this is getting worse for both me and Pride, even with 'Serene Mind' I can feel that myself is about to explode in anger. 

"Oh? I'm sensing a lot of hatred. Try as you might, the wall of my dungeon is so strong that even C-class can't make a dent into it."  (???)

One more reason to win now. With these walls, I should be safe from almost anything within mortal boundaries. I'm not going to torture the info out of him on how to make these walls or anything. I'm just gonna have a small chat.

"Are you both still so stubborn? let me say this, even raids conducted by 10s of C-ranks have never been able to harm me while being able to survive a sweep from a hundred C-ranks and I have half a century of experience compared to your meek life."  (???)

So what? If I have these walls and my previous dungeon, I believe I can withstand an Assault from entire companies of C-ranks.

"Have you both finally realized that it's hopeless to fight against me? Vampire, abandon your parent and if you satisfy me enough then I might consider not letting you rot as a seedbed, HUAHAHAHAHAHA"  (???)

[Pride Furiously requests temporary access to DP]

[Accept?]

Haven't you noticed yet that this Vampire you are talking to 'IS' my Sub-core!? Rather you have been disregarding me entirely for a while now.

"Now pledge everything to me and become my property Vampire. As for you Spirit, I have no need for you, so you  can go die now. HUAHAHA"  (???)

*SNAP*

*SNAP*

Aahhh, It's no use, I thought I could control myself but it really is no use. This guy is just way too much of a genius at enraging people.

THIS BASTARD PUSHED US PAST THE MELTING POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I would like to know your name first of all"  ( Alicia )

"Finally decided to conceded, HUAHAHAHAHA, then behold the name of your new master RAMPART!!!"  ( Rampart )

[Pride WRATHFULLY requests temporary access to DP]

[Accept?]

Accept, GIVE THAT BASTARD HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Well then as much as I detest it. I shall remember your name for the loathing you have let me taste."  ( Alicia )

"Tch, struggling pointlessly till the end. Prepare to be rag dolled Puny Vampire"  ( Rampart )

[Countdown: 0 sec]

[Let the Dungeon Duel Begin]

And let our hunt begin.

"[Acceleration] [Mana Endurance] [Roses of Blood---Be my Weapon]"  ( Alicia )
