Chapter 20: New monsters,plants and terrain.
In the Ashfall city, dungeon gateway square.
The explorer party made of Miles and the others had once again come here in the morning after finishing their preparations for the dungeon dive.
“Hey guys, have you all finished your preparations? If you are not sure then recheck it now.” asked Rebecca for confirmation before entering the dungeon gateway.
After Rebecca said that Miles and the others rechecked their gear to see if they were missing anything or not. And after finishing their rechecking process they all gave their approval that they were prepared for the dungeon dive.
“Alright everybody let's go shall we.” said Rebecca. After this all the party members entered the dungeon gateway together.
Then after entering the dungeon's first floor they once again started their journey through the areas they had already gone through to the point where they last left off in the dungeon.
Meanwhile as the explorer party was going through the dungeon, Lucas had once again levelled up and was currently reading the level up messages.
[Ding, congratulations the host has levelled up to level 7]
[The host has obtained 3 skill points and the floor limit has been increased to 10]
“Nice another level up, also system, would you upgrade the skills: monster creation, plant creation and terrain manipulation using my new skill points.” said Lucas.
[The skill monster creation lvl 7 has been upgraded to monster creation lvl 8.]
[The skill plant creation lvl 3 has been upgraded to plant creation lvl 4.]
[The skill terrain manipulation lvl 2 has been upgraded to terrain manipulation lvl 3.]
[New feature of the skill terrain manipulation unlocked multi-terrain floor.]
[Multi-terrain floor
It is a feature which allows the user to use two or more elemental terrain templates on a single floor.]
“Oh sweet, that feature will be quite useful indeed, also show me the new elemental plant options.” said Lucas.
[Please choose any two new elemental plants:
Deathbed Seaweed (water+death)
A rare water and death type elemental plant which as its name states is a deathbed for any foolish creature who walks on it for too long as the deathbed seaweed slowly sucks the life force of all creatures who are in contact with it and then uses the extracted life force to rapidly regenerate itself when attacked.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Living Sea Serpent Kelp (water+life)
An extremely rare water and life type elemental plant which actually has infant level intelligence and the ability to use advanced water magic together with basic healing magic. This plant even has a tale about how a Living Sea Serpent Kelp had once helped a hero in his journey as a battle pet. Due to the ability of this elemental plant to grow only one can be placed in the dungeon before floor 20 has been finished.
Protective coral (water)
An water type coral elemental plant which protects all creatures who inhabit it while absorbing the mana of the inhabitant creatures inside it to grow.]
“Whoa the first two options this time around are so awesome especially the second option which is like an actual boss level monster.” said Lucas in amazement.
“Hmm the third option is not as good as the other two and I don't really like the fact that my monsters will be weakened so, system, I choose the Deathbed Seaweed and the Living Sea Serpent Kelp.” said Lucas.
[Ding, the elemental plants Deathbed Seaweed and the Living Sea Serpent Kelp have been chosen as the new elemental plants.]
“Now system, show me the new monster type options would you.” said Lucas.
[Please choose any two new monster types:
Twin-headed sea serpent (adult)(unique)(fire+water)
An adult Twin-headed sea serpent which knows how to use advanced fire and water magic and its every fire type attack is made of sea fire. It also has the ability to use sea fire to self-destruct when near death which creates a very powerful sea fire tornado which covers everything within a few kilometres radius. Due to the monster being too high-levelled for floors below 20 these can only be placed as a boss monster.]
Deep sea hunter (rare)(water+dark)
A rare water and dark type monster which looks like a mermaid with long ears and dark skin together with eyes which are as dark as the abyss who know how to use intermediate water and dark magic. They lurk in the darkness of the deep sea and hunt down all their enemies in the most torturous way.
Abyss lantern fish (rare)(fire+dark)
A rare fire and dark type monster which lures its prey using fire magic to create fake seafire orbs in the darkness of the deep sea and then explode those orbs when the prey arrives and then use dark magic to hide in the darkness and kill the prey.]
“Hmm the choice this time is a little difficult as both the second and third option are both good options.” said Lucas before starting to think a little.
Then after some time he chose the Twin-headed sea serpent and the Deep sea hunter as his new monster types.
“Alright system show me the new elemental terrain template options.” said Lucas.
[Please choose any two elemental terrain templates:
Luminous mine fields (dark+water)
An deep sea luminous mine fields terrain where extremely explosive mine orbs float everywhere in the water which glow bright luminous while intact but when touched explode and release intense darkness in the surroundings removing all light from the area and also as long as any creature is within this darkness made by the luminous mine fields they will be attacked by endless dark wisps.
Empty sea (dark)
A deep sea terrain where nothing other than water and darkness exists and when any creature tries to light up the area the endless darkness kills them and even traps their very soul in the empty sea for all eternity. (Warning: no elemental plants can be placed in this elemental terrain.)
Deep sea paradise. (life+Water)
A deep sea elemental terrain template where all monsters of the dungeon will be strengthened and continuously healed by the life magic which is engraved in this terrain and elemental plants also become stronger when planted in this terrain.]
“Hmm now the third option I am definitely taking but the choice between taking the first or the second option is quite hard so I need to think a little here.” said Lucas before starting to think about which option to choose.
