CHAPTER 38 LOCATION
kurinai pov
The secret floor which we are heading is part of the crackens dungeon known as the Death Valley prison. In this floor, all enemies that were defeated or caught were placed here.
The brother of Karen which is kiba was the head guardian of this floor where he keeps the prisoners at bay.
As we are at the entrance of the first floor I talk to Karen first.
“Karen, everything inside is beyond your capabilities and was more vicious than what you expect, though their power was restricted it doesn’t mean that they cannot fight. You need to keep in my side no matter what happens because they will not attack you as long as you are with me ok?”.
“Yes, your majesty” Karen replied.
As we reached our destination, the tattered gate and rusty metal door where the entrance towards the prisoner valley giving us a creepy atmosphere welcomed us as we approach the gate.
Seeing this, Karen was taken back as she saw the gate creepier than before.
Karen and kiba were siblings because I created them at the same time with the same features though their actual powers may differ but the fact that they share the same genes makes them as twins.
My cape was blown about, flapping violently as the bluish aura keeps on coming out from the gate.
Before we enter, I notice that Karen was still in his feet and couldn’t move.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“I’m just feeling cold.”
“It’s part of the stunned effect of the prison valley. Sorry, I forgot to give you this”. I handed him a cape which is resistant to all types of stun and magic restriction.
“Thank you, your majesty”. She blushed as she receives my cape.
“You’re welcome, let’s go.”
As I open the gate, we were welcomed by the cold world of darkness and terror atmosphere. The 24 story tower giving the impression of death makes everyone who will see it shiver from fear.
As we enter I cast aside the doubts in my mind and looked at the magnificent 24 story high tower in front me.
The tower was covered with ice and was emitting a bluish dark aura, some parts of the floor were covered with skulls and bones and creating a discomforting ambiance.
It was called the Death Valley Prison. All enemies of crackens were locked in here.
“Let’s go. “I talked to Karen who was shocked at the moment.
As we reach the door, I opened it and was amazed by the creatures inside. Though Karen couldn’t see it because only the hallway was being lighted and most of the area was covered in a dark light so she didn’t notice that every hideous and creepy monster was lurking in a slow movement pace.
I use my divine vision so I could see it but I was still amazed that kiba maintained this creature at bay.
We walk to a silent and dark passageway extended all the way into the prison.
“...your majesty, welcome to my humble abode. Kiba is at your service. “A guy who appeared out of nowhere suddenly made its appearance when we almost reach the second door which lead to the receiving area of this tower.
“ohh kiba, did you prepare the thing I just mentioned you earlier?” I asked him.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
“Yes your majesty, the reason why I wasn’t at the gate to welcome you is because I was preparing the things you asked for even though for a short notice I still finished it before you arrive. ”Kiba exclaimed.
“Very good then, let’s go!” I said to them who silently followed me.
I was thinking about the person who used the teleportation bracelet which is a high world class item that was given to a player who completed an event back when it was a game.
Considering that there is other like me inside this game made me anxious to meet them. Right now I wasn’t concerned about zeberu because anytime I can kill him through character destruction.
But my reason why I was here is not only for zeberu but the concerns about a world class item being used recklessly.
No matter how strong an opponent is, if you are equipped with good items and equipment’s you can definitely defeat your enemy. It also applies to me, at my own level right now, raising it would be difficult, but I am pretty sure that I was strong enough to defeat anyone who would try to invade my territories.
But if all the holders of world class items and ancient runes unite and gather together, they would definitely defeat me or else can kill me.
As the door silently open, a huge crystal ball that is floating at the center is glowing in the dark.
“your majesty, for what reason are you telling me to prepare the crystal ball?….”
“Well then kiba I’m here to let you use your skill to pinpoint the location of one of the guardians, zeberu,”
“The Floor Guardian?... why do you need to locate zeberu your majesty if you don’t mind?.” Kiba asked me
“Zeberu betrayed his majesty. “Karen replied instead of me.
“What? Zeberu, How come?” kiba showed an overreaction that’s why I chuckled as I saw him doing that kind of stuff.
Although kiba voice was full of doubt, he still gave an immediate response to the request.
“ok, then.” Kiba started to use his hand in a fast yet gracious movement. He activated his kills and multiple layers of magic circle appear in the black crystal giving us a picture of zeberu heading somewhere.
Kiba was one of the highly NPC I created to perform a job like this before this skills really helps me a lot in defeating some weaker dungeons. Although it wasn’t visible from his outer appearance, he specialized in locating and finding a certain thing either a biological or non-biological.
With a speed fitting for the power that he possessed, kiba was able to quickly report the results.
“done, I found him, your majesty.” Kiba showed a big smile and show us a better picture of where exactly is the location of zeberu.
A giant monitor appeared after he cast a magic sequence in the crystal ball.
“very good—.” I was praising him when I notice that zeberu is wearing his 2nd battle mode.
Zeberu has a three set of armor, the third one was the usual one he wears every day and the one in the monitor was the one he usually wears when he is in a battle. The last armor he has is reserved only when all of his tentacles were cut and his last chance for survival.
The person displayed on the monitor display wore full body armor. It was the silver lining diamond armor which I created for him. When I look closer, he was holding a giant crystal sword which has a sucking part in the end.
It was the dropper sword which is highly used for extracting mana and drain enemies life and power.
This was zeberu 2nd full battle mode, a magic caster which had the highest specialized combat ability.
“Dropper sword!” I said it out loud and the two look at me with a shocked face.
Everyone knows how destructive this weapon is; even the guardians fear this weapon. It was the Divine class magic item I gave him to maximize his power.
Karen let out a dismayed voice after seeing zeberu weapon.
Each guardian possesses a world class armor and a divine class item.in the game of World of dungeons, magic items can be obtained only if you finished a special event or through a loot which is if you happen to defeat a monster boss or a dungeon which is more high leveled than you.
The second one is to make it, but in order to make this type of weapon; you need to do countless battle in the demon abyss and in the lake of despair because the materials were only found there.
But fighting in this area is highly difficult because the level of the monster there is higher than usual. That’s why world-class and divine items were hard to obtain.
Not only that, if you wanted to make this kind of weapon——it had to be a weapon forged from ultra-rare metal for it to be possible.
Even I, a player that ranked in the top ten, did not arm every NPCs that I created with Divine class items. They would only allow them to possess one or two at the most. And that reserves to the guardians only.
And zeberu possessed the Divine class item, the dropper sword.
“...Let’s go right now. “I said to Karen.
“Your majesty, we need to kill zeberu, if you allow me to exit the secret floor then I can give you good results”. Karen exclaimed after seeing zeberu in his battle mode.
“no need Karen, seeing this makes me sure that zeberu is not a traitor”
“huh? What do you mean by that?” kiba exclaimed.
“there’s no need for you to know”. I face the two siblings and started to head back to the door when suddenly Pitou contacted me through a message.
“Your majesty, there’s something I need to tell you. “It was Pitou who had remained in feloria kingdom.
“What is it Pitou? Right now——”. I was planning to say that I am busy but stopped when I heard him said the next word.
“the seven heroes arrived at the kingdom and right now they were in a meeting on how to solve the current problem regarding the tower.”pitou reported
“and they also spotted one of the guardians in the west side of the border, and I think they were talking about zeberu”
“What? You said, guardians?”. I turned my eyes towards the monitor focusing on zeberu who was still floating and heading somewhere.
“About that guardian, do you know the reason why it appeared on that location?”
“Unfortunately, nothing your majesty. Right now all they are talking was speculation of attacking the kingdom. "Pitou exclaimed.
I dismissed pitou and face kiba and told him.
“Right now, I want to use your puppets for the meantime to monitor zeberu because they were hard to detect, I will head somewhere first before I will attend to that problem”.
After I expressed gratitude to kiba, I slipped into deep thought.
