Chapter 7: Dungeon

It leaped high into the air and crashed down in front of me, sending me sprawling. It even cracked the floor upon landing. "That's some crazy strength!" The big thing materialized a great sword made of darkness and swung it at me. I rolled away before the greatsword crashed down on where i was before. Shit if that hits me, i am a goner. I leaped back and used blazing tempest. "GAHHH!" the creature screamed in pain as it was engulfed by a vortex of spinning flames but it swung its great sword and it dissipated the vortex.

"Shadow slash!" and i swung my energy sword in front of me. A huge burning scar appeared on the creature and i could hear the sizzling of the flesh. The creature clutched it's chest before more darkness engulfed him, healing the wound. He has regenerative ability shit. "Sword dance!" and with that 8 energy sword floated around him. "CHARGE!" i commanded the sword as all the sword started zooming towards the creature. The creature started swing his great sword around like a tornado but the sword all pierced through him regardless anyway.

"GAHH!" it screamed as all 8 sword got stuck inside it. The smell of burning flesh was filling up the room. "Blazing tempest!" and the creature got trapped inside the spinning vortex of flames again. It slowly fell over backwards before the flames and swords dissipated. Whew that was intense. The darkness around the creature started melting off and a skeleton appeared in it's place. 

I walked towards the skeleton and it appeared clean and white. Not dirty or cracked or any signs of wear and tear. 'Ting' leveled up X4. "What! I defeated a boss like monster and i leveled up 4 times only! What the fuck! Was this piece of shit actually weak?" i shouted angrily to myself. Status!

Leveled up so much yet stats increased by a small amount. Still a increase though i thought to myself as i tried to stay positive. I started walking towards the exit before i realized that a golden sword appeared which was stuck in a rock. Hmmmm, a legendary sword maybe for my reward? I walked towards it and tried to pull it out but it didn't moved in the slightest. I started getting frustrated and slashed it my Arbiter in anger. It sliced through cleanly, cutting the golden sword into half. 

What the..... this sword is useless! I threw the top half of the sword across the room and it bounced off the wall.  What a bummer. Just as i was about to leave the room, i noticed the skeleton's finger sparkling. Upon a closer look, there was a ring on it. "It least i will take the ring as a reward." i grumbled to myself before going to the exit. As i started making my way up to the surface, i realized that it was going down instead after awhile. 

Did i go to the wrong direction or something? I came across a two way path splitting junction. Hmm, left side seemed to have brick walls and the right side seemed to be more rocky walls. I chose the left side and continued on my journey. All this time, i kept my energy sword activated as it was too dark to see but as i continued making my way down, it seemed to get brighter but i kept it on anyways. 

Surprisingly i did not run into any small fries. I wonder why? The tunnel slowly got bigger until it opened up into a large area complete with a small lake and forestation. Is this suppose to be a underground lake or something? At the top of the room, there was a large crystal glowing brightly while radiating warmth.

There was small wild life here. There were insects and fishes could be seen in the lake. While i was admiring the view, i noticed that there was a small island with a chest in the middle of the lake. Should i swim across it? Nah too risky. There will probably be guardians or something. Can't use my lightning magic to shock whatever is in the water since i am underground. 

I decided to put the tip of the energy sword underwater. As it went under, steam immediately erupted and started to boil the surrounding water. Suddenly the water erupted about 7 meters away from me and a huge form stood towering over me. Whoa, it was my first time seeing a hydra. It had golden scales with it's signature 9 heads. There was back fins going from the heads down to the tail. It stood menacingly over me before it opened it's mouth and spoke.

"What in the blazers are you doing!" the hydra screamed at me with a deep voice. "Here i was taking a nice long nap and some random person comes up and starts boiling the water, sending damn vibrations throughout the entire lake, waking me up!" the hydra continued it's rant with anger. All 9 heads were talking together so it amplified the sound. 

"One job! I gave one job to that damn black thing to guard against intruders and it can't even take care of a brat like you!" "Hey! Watch it fish face and don't call me a brat!" i retorted back. "What you want a piece of me?" the hydra hissed at me. "Hell yeah! Give me a piece of you!" i scoffed. "Interesting..... I have not have a lively talk like this since 300 years ago. Everyone would cower in fear and would ignore me but you are different so i might listen to one of your request." "Well then, i want the treasure on that island over there." i demanded while pointing at it.

"Ahhhh so you want the treasure." the hydra concluded. "Do you even know what that is?" "Uhh nope i don't but i am taking it either way." i replied back. "Sorry no can do so prepare to die!" the hydra suddenly shouted out before launching a green liquid from one of it's mouth at me. I just managed to jump out of the way before it hit me. The green substance started melting the ground i was on. Shit it is acid. "I am invincible! Even if you cut off my head i will grow it back!" it roared at me before breathing fire at the ground where the acid was.

The acid and the fire had a chemical reaction which caused me to be blown into the water. I know that as long as i burn the part where the head was cut off, it won't grow a new one. At least that's what the myth said. "Sword dance!" and with that 8 sword appeared around me. "Think cutting all my head together will work!" the hydra roared before jumping back into the water. 

I stood tensed, trying to pinpoint where it would appear. Just then, behind me the ground caved in and the hydra appeared looking proud before spitting acid at me from all 9 heads. I immediately started rotating all my swords in front of me. The acid bounced off the spinning swords with the acid being deflected away. Before the hydra could use it's fire breath, i used the illusions to cut off each head in a instance, leaving one head behind. 

"Wahahah did i not tell you it is meaningless to even try and cut off my head?" roared the hydra. As the hydra was going on and on, i noticed the area where it been cut off was burning up and not allowing the regeneration to take place. "What have you done to me!" the hydra panicked as it realized that it still had no grown back it's heads. 

"Well goodbye pathetic hydra." i said to it but before i could cut off it's last head, it quickly dived underwater and swam away at breakneck speed. Tch, free exp ran away. I started making my way to the island with the chest. The chest was decorated with gold scriptures. Time for my reward, i said to myself before opening the chest. 

Inside the chest was a small purple pill with a note beside it. The note read, eat this pill and get power! made by master alchemist. Hm.......... bloody suspicious. I should destroy this pill instead of doing what the note says. Whatever, let's try it and with that, i swallowed it.

"Hehehe, that idiot ate it." a voice with glee came from the hydra. "A weak brat like you would have your body breakdown before you even get the power." the hydra continued. The hydra was deep underwater, cradling it's burned neck. After i swallowed it, i felt like vomiting. It was as if this body wanted to reject the pill. I kept on and for hours and hours then the feeling finally stopped and i felt fine after that. Nothing changed........ what the fuck. Wasted my time. Better leave this hell hole and with that, i went back to where i came from and made my way up.

"Huh? She is still alive?" the hydra questioned himself. "She should have died. What sorcery is this!" and the hydra continued to ponder on it's own. "Ahhhh sunlight." i stretched as i had finally reached the exit. It had been a whole day already inside the dungeon. That was small though. One easy tunnel all the way to that weak hydra. 

I made my way back to my room and lied down to get some rest. Let's think about what i gained from that trip. I gained 39 levels and ate a pill that had no visible effect. Oh and that ring too. Wonder what it does. I took out the ring from my pocket and wore it on my of my finger. Nothing seems to be happening though. Sigh.....what a bummer and i took off the ring and placed it on one of my tail since my tail was thin enough for it to slip in to nearly the base.

Soon i fell asleep while thinking about my trip. I woke up the next morning with Yui sleeping next to me as usual. I got up and went to have breakfast after showering and changing into my casual attire which was shorts with plain t-shirt. I was eating a salad when someone sat across from me.

"So how was your day?" Aria asked me while sitting across me. "I uh listen, the reason why i didn't tell you" "I know Zaomi. It is pretty obvious that you had to hide your identity because of your tail right and your family didn't want to link you to them." Aria interrupted me. "Huh? How do you know that?" i asked in confusion. "Well i deduced it from all the facts so i apologize to you for doing all that okay?" Aria asked. Wow her deduction skill is decent for her age. "Yeah i accept your apology and i apologize too." i replied. "I accept as well." she said with a smile. And thus, that fiasco was over.

"Why are you still wearing that pathetic looking outfit!" Aria suddenly screeched when i was eating. "But it's comfortable." "That's it! We are going shopping today with your sister!" "Ehhhh! No way!" i tried to protest but it was no use. She dragged me back to my room to get Yui before going back out. "We are going shopping? Yay shopping with big sister!" Yui celebrated. "Where are we going?" i asked Aria as she pulled me along while Yui tagged along behind. "First, we are going to get some clothes." "What! That's boring! Let's go look around instead." i tried to resist but i was still pulled to a expensive looking store. 

"I don't have any money!" i lied but Yui interrupted me. "I can buy for big sister!" "There you go." Aria chuckled before going inside. After we went in, we were treated like VIPs because Yui was recognized here. I was forced to dress up in many different outfits which was tiring and embarrassing for me. "Kyah you look so cute in that outfit with your long black hair!" Aria shrieked while Yui agreed while pouting saying that i looked better than her. I was wearing a gothic lolita outfit. I was forced to wear it out while they threw away my shorts and t-shirt. They also bought other dresses and skirts before leaving the store.

P.S Sorry loli lovers but it won't last forever since they are still growing. And the reason why Mc didn't say anything about her circumstances was because i forgot to write about it. TEEHEE. Why Aria attacked is because she used it as an excuse to drink Mc blood i guess?
