Walking through the fastest way out of the dungeon like labyrinth. I see many things... but there is something that is weird that I don't see.
In this Dungeon I ran into magical traps to prevent people from either entering or escaping. But the weird thing is that there aren't any weapons of any sort.
None... the corpse in this dungeon look humanoid but none of them have weapons. At first I assumed that they might've been criminals that were thrown in but that doesn't look like the case...
There are multiple corpses that have a very mage like design. Yes, they might've all have been mages... It's weird... in the very olden ages of my time humanity started war with weapons and went adventuring with weapons you know... I thought it was human nature to have weapons first...
I ran into yet another trap...
It's a pit fall trap this time...
But It doesn't really matter to me. Why? cause I can fly...
Yeah, that was how I past most of the traps I encountered so far...
It seems like they were on the look out mostly for humans and not small birds like me... I continue on my quest of looking for a way out.
I'm looking for a way out... turns out the map can only show me things that are 100 meters in diameter around me...
But it doesn't show me how to get out of this dungeon like labyrinth.
2 hours later...
I got tired of flying and just when I land... a magic circle appears... the magic surrounding me then go berserk, waves of lightning shoot out of the ground and... the scenery around me changes.
Melisa POV...
I have come into this labyrinth yet again, looking for treasure... that's right I'm a treasure hunter... NOT...
I am a adventurer of the Demon Continent.
I came here with my party for a B ranked quest.
Quest Objective:
Kill 1000 Zeogoblins.
Side Quest:
Find Information about the strange magic frequency coming from within the Dungeon of Magic.
My party consists of:
Melissa (Light Magic) (Occupation: Priest) (Rank B+) Me...
Shawn (Fire Magic) (Occupation: Attacker) (Rank B+)
Eric (Earth Magic) (Occupation: Main Tank) (Rank B+)
Alice (Water Magic) (Occupation: Leader) (Rank A-)
Zeither (Darkness Magic) (Occupation: Assassin) (Rank A-)
"Everyone there coming!" Zeither quickly and smoothly rushes though to the back of our party while saying that.
"How many are in the group?"
"It's in a group of 40."
"40! Didn't I tell you not to get so many!?" Alice says in a furious tone.
"But I didn't this time! I swear. This time while I was scouting for some they suddenly started rushing my way so I thought they found me."
"They started to chase you? Something's not right. Maybe we should retreat for now to..." I say in a cautious tone.
"Forget that! There just a group of zeogoblins so what if there in a group of 40! I'll still burn them to cinders!" Shawn cuts me off in a arrogant tone.
"He's right Melissa. There just in a group of 40 even if it's more then usual we can still defeat them. We have you after all. You can just heal us after we're injured right?" Eric says this in a soothing way.
"Eric..." I mumble.
"Don't worry I'll protect you so you don't have to worry about a thing." Eric smiles right after saying so.
"Get a room you love birds, and there here!" Zeither yells in a mocking yet urgent voice.
"Get in formation! Eric put up a earth wall. Shawn start chanting for multi flame arrows. Zeither go set up an ambush. Melissa put up a light barrier and get ready to heal." Alice yells out in a commanding tone.
"Yes ma'am!" Everyone yells out in union.
Eric quickly puts up the beginner level earth wall but by controlling his magic he makes the earth wall far more sturdy.
"I call upon you my friends of fire assist me in piercing the ones before me. MULTI FLAME ARROWS!"
Shawn chants his medium grade spell flame arrows. It's a spell which fires multiple smaller versions of the beginner level spell flame arrows but these arrows are condensed versions of the beginner version.
Eric then uses the beginner level spell Pitfall.
Like its name it creates a pitfall that causes the zeogoblins to fall into.
And then Alice finishes chanting her magic.
Rain and Wind combine together and create a power like none other. STORM OF THE END!
Advanced level magic. Fusion. This is a advanced level fusion magic. By fusing 2 elements together she can create a power that enhances each other by multiple times. This is the power of a A rank demon adventurer.
"Stop dazing around Melissa!"
"Sorry!"
"Power of light power of recovery. Lend me a hand to help them recover. MANA TRANSFER."
That is my magic. Light magic is a support magic it can only be used to support. It is for healing and recovering.
I recover Alice's magic and lose some of mine
Just like the magic is called. Magic transfer. It's a medium grade magic.
Next Alice uses the beginner level Freeze to freeze the water from the storm magic she used earlier.
The the zeogoblins get stuck in the ice and this slows them down.
But this only slows down the ones in front. The ones in back suddenly split up to go around the earth wall.
But the ones that split to the right suddenly get ambushed by Zeither.
Zeither pierces the one in back with dark pierce a beginner rank magic . After doing so he starts sneaking up on the rest of the goblins. They don't even notice him because of how well he hides himself.
Suddenly a goblin turns around and spots him. The minute he lets out a ear splitting screech.
"SERKKKKKKK!"
This so happens to get the attention of the goblins in front and they all spot him.
"SHIT!" Zeither says this while piecing the head of the goblin that screeched.
All the Goblins turn there heads and there red bloody eyes stare at Zeither.
They then charge and attack Zeither simultaneously.
"Melissa focus on healing Zeither!"
"Yes!"
"Shawn use fire wall!"
Fine!
The battle was long...
The zeogoblins in the pit started climbing out by stepping on each other. Just when that happened Shawn fired middle ranked spell inferno.
Spell that causes a area flame.
But the one on the top of the goblin stairs was able to jump out before the flames hit.
Maybe not...
Eric placed another earth wall on top of the last one causing the height to double.
The goblin fell to it's death.
Zeither starts to defeat the goblins while I use healing. Zeither is quite good at close combat despite being a demon. Although humans are still better at close combat as they follow the way of the Martial Tao.
Despite being a demon that follows the way of Magi and unlocking the secrets of the Universe he's also studied the way of the Tao the way to Immortality.
He made his own style of fighting. It's called Magic Combat.
The way to use it is basically using beginner level spells in union as they don't require chanting. Then using the martial arts of humans to close in on them and attack them with magic from close distance. But that is all he told me. There is probably a lot of other secrets to this style of combat of his.
Write when were about to finish off the rest of the zeogoblins we hear a howl.
"AWOOO!"
Once this sound came out the zeogoblins tense up and go crazy.
They start running toward Shawn. They just charge through the flames of his fire wall.
These flaming zeogoblins rush out of the flames and start biting him.
I start chanting my spell of protection but its too late. One of them has bitten his neck. They quickly consume him once he stopped his resistance.
There wounds from the flames heal after consuming him.
There next stop is me. Why? Because I was only able to put up a barrier of light after they made him a corpse. And now I am blocking them from eating there meal.
They take the phrase "never interrupt me when I'm eating to another level..."
I needed to break away from where I was at.
But while doing so Zeither gets over whelmed by the other remaining zeogoblins.
"Melissa! Heal Zeither! I'll get the flaming zeogoblins." Eric then pushes a barrier of earth below me and gets me to higher footing. Next he puts up a earth wall around Zeither.
AH!
What happened!? I turn my head around only to see a pack of Dire wolves.
Dire wolves! They must of been attracted by the scent of blood! Were retreating!
ROAR! (I am a dragon...roar... )
Wha- AH there's a Bone-dragon!
Why would a Bone-dragon appear here!
Bone dragons are a undead creature. They are immune to most magics as it has a magic disruption barrier around it. Therefore only highly concentrated magic can defeat it.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
An S rank Mage is the Bare minimum needed to defeat it and even then they need to be in a party of 5.
Run, we can't beat it!
"Zeither try to distract it for a couple of seconds!" Alice says in a commanding voice.
"Are you kidding? That's a fucking BONE-DRAGON how do you expect me to stall it!?" Zeither yells this in disbelief of what he just heard.
"Quit being a pussy! Your the only one who could you know! It's a undead creature and you have darkness magic so it will be attracted to in some way. You just need to stall it for a couple of seconds and once we get out of here you can use shadow to get away!" Alice says in a persuading voice.
"That sounds like a good plan! Good thinking Alice." That's what I think in my mind. But the next words shock me.
"HELL NO! Bone-dragons are undead creatures they don't see or smell they detect life energy. Shadow won't conceal me! Don't think I don't know your trying to use me as bait!" Zeither yells this in outrage!
Zeither slowly backs up and conceals himself and goes running off in the opposite direction of the Bone-dragon, heading for one of the exits!
"Dammit!" Melissa use a light barrier! That would slow it down."
She was just trying to use Zeither as bait... Light is the opposite of darkness therefore it is it's natural enemy. She's trying to use me as bait as well!
I immediately try to run away.
"GET BACK HERE! Only light magic is most effective against an undead. Even if it has magic disruption, It can't escape from the fact that it's undead! Therefore light magic works!" While saying so she uses water whip to stop me from running and then uses freeze. The ice stops me from moving and pins me to the ground!
"Stop! Release me!" I plead.
"Sorry don't blame me I'm just trying to survive!" She says that while running toward the closest exit.
Once she rushes out she uses a block of ice to seal the exit. This was to gain some more time to escape.
"She used me as bait! Dammit!"
The Bone dragon charges at me.
Why? Cause I have light magic.
I use three light magic barriers one after another to stall for some time. But it's hopeless... I can't get out of this ice.
The Bone-dragon attacks it and breaks though 2 of them and almost breaks the last one with the swipe of his claw.
"Melissa!"
"Huh!?"
Eric charges toward me and uses pitfall to drop me down to a lower ground. Right when the 3rd barrier is almost broken through.
The Bone-dragon furiously roars at Eric and the sound of it's roar echos into the pit he created for me.
"Come at me you skeleton of a over sized lizard!"
"ROAR!"
"The Power of Earth shall consume you, be swallowed by the earth! QUICK SAND!"
Quicksand is made beneath the the Bone-dragon because the magic isn't against it. The earth beneath the dragon turns to sand and it starts to sink.
"ROAR!!"
"Melissa I'm coming for you so sit tight!"
"Eric!" I cry.
Eric slowly puts up multiple barriers of earth around the top of the quick sand although he can't kill the Bone-dragon he can still stall it by trapping it.
After putting multiple layers of earth barriers on top of the quick sand that the Bone-dragon is submerged in. He uses earth barrier below Melissa to bring her out and says "We can't stay here any longer. I'm out of mana and It's probably gonna get out soon." I cast Mana Transfer while on the run.
But then the Bone-dragon breaks free of the earth and charges at us furiously!
It quickly catches up to us in the blink of an eye.
"ROAR!"
It swings it's mighty claws at us and Eric quickly pushes me down to the side. The swing misses me but... it takes Eric's Arm.
"AH!"
"Eric!"
The dragon attacks us yet again with no compassion for our screams. A Blood thirsty undead is all it is. No compassion for the living.
I quickly use another 3 light barriers simultaneously but before they go up.
"ROAR!"
It's roar disrupts my magic causing a collapse in my magic. The magic particles that disperses and activates a trap. Thinking I'm about to die I shut my eyes. But then I hear "Don't you dare touch her!"
Eric uses earth wall to protect me and uses up the last of his mana.
"Eric!"
"Don't worry... I'll protect you from this over sized lizard that over lived his stay... *cough* *cough*"
That's when a magic circle appeared. On the ground a complex magic hex that intercepts with each other appears. Lightning shoot out of the floor covering the skies. Waves of lightning come tumbling out and this makes the Bone-dragon back up.
"This is a teleport!"
"BANG!"
Flames and dust burst out in front of me, both me and Eric get shot back by the shock wave of the burst. When I open my eyes I see a bird. A scarlet red bird. But this bird is weird, how so? It looks confused over something. Then It sees me.
It has intelligent eyes as if observing what is going on. Then the Bone-dragon starts charging towards this weird bird.
"Wait, thats weird... Bone-dragons are usually supposed to charge towards the being with the most life force. In other words the one with the most Mana or Qi, why would it charge towar-?"
"BOOM!"
Fire, Flames a golden scarlet flame burns thought the dragon... where is this flame coming from you might ask... that little red bird...
Lu Chen POV...
A wave of lightning rose up and I was engulfed in it.
In the next moment I see a woman... and a skeleton like thing and lets not forgot the man who is injured.
A monster a woman and an injured man... hmm... maybe the man was going to rape the woman and then the dragon popped up and attacked him... just when he was about to do the act... that might explain it... why do I think this? Because the woman's clothes are ripped open and...her top part is showing... Or it might be that the dragon attacked them and caused her top half to be ripped to shreds... I think it's the ...
Before Lu Chen had a chance to decide if the dragon was a good guy or a bad guy it attacked him...
Well since it attacked me I guess I'm going to have to kill it... lets hope it wasn't reason 1...
I did the only attack I new how to do.
I release the heat that is inside of me which I will later learn is mana.
And this heat burst out.
But unlike the first time I did it I knew what was going to happen so I tried to stop the heat from coming out of every part of my body and instead concentrate in my mouth.
The Golden Flames shot out of my mouth and hits the skeleton like monster... the flames automatically shot though its defense... No resistance what so ever...
[Contragulations you killed a Bone Dragon]
[You level up]
[You level ...]
(I'm not gonna write what level anymore... to bothersome. Authors Note~)
It dropped a black gemstone as well...
STORE.
I turn my head around me and look at the girl as she stares at me in shock with her jaw dropping to the ground.
I try to say something to her but the words wouldn't come out of my mouth. No it wasn't because I was fascinated by her beauty it was because it really couldn't come out of my mouth... Chirps were all that come out... Annoying.
Then I thought [Expand: 1000p = 100,000in squared]
[Are you sure you want to expand?]
[Yes]
Flames rise up surrounding me and a 100,000in squared piece of paper appears.
I start folding it into a human boy. Yes a human boy. But the current body of my can only stay as this crane and cannot turn back into paper.
That means that once I changed paper into a thing I can't change back into paper... good to know.
I move my consciousness into the human boy and the system rings.
[Origami Self Creation]
[Humanoid Form]
A cute boy was what I folded my self into. Yes, I can say I am quite pleased with this face of mine. Next I made my clothes.
{Origami Creation: Clothes Set]
As for the crane that was my old body, I use immortal rebirth and pull out a sliver of my soul.
"Rise from the ashes my Immortal Phoenix!"
My soul added with the Immortal Rebirth flames and adding on the name I give revives the creation of mine from my last life come alive.
"Rising from the flames comes back my Phoenix Soul. I have the Soul and a body and the flame of life. The soul and body become one! REBIRTH OF THE PHOENIX!"
After, that the flames die down and out I come.
I can finally speak to someone in this life... maybe not... as speaking in Chinese doesn't seem to go though... English doesn't work neither does French, German, etc... Never thought even though I have the body I can't speak the Language.
