Rosy wondered where the Source could have been this whole time.
She didn't know why he even came back to begin with, which would only bring him even more troubles. It was certainly better to completely forget about this place and live a new life wherever he was, yet… he came back unexpectedly so.
If she could find anything useful for her bosses, then her Job was as good as done.
"Let's see… Oh? What's that?"
Rosy glanced at the ceiling, as she suddenly saw a lot of black goo dripping from it.
"Uegh… Is this… wait… MIASMA?!"
"Surpriseeeee~"
The Miasma suddenly spoke!
Shock!
Rosy was shocked!
Well, only for a bit, she calmed herself in a millisecond after her initial shock, summoning her Shadow Aura and her Darkness Knives crafted finely with powerful and legendary materials harvested from beasts from Europe, the blades of the knives leaked a powerful essence.
Her eyes flashed with bright red light as she utilized her Shadow Dagger Techniques in an instant, she released several techniques at the same time, unleashing a storm of slicing dark winds over the mass of miasma, whose threatening presence didn't dim at all even before such might!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! BOOOOMMM!
Her attack shattered the wall and left a large mess in the interior of the house, Rosy leaped back, glancing at the creature behind the smoke.
"Not even a scratch?"
The creature made of miasma began to reform itself, it had been sliced into pieces, but for a slime-like creature, it was nothing!
"What is this? Has the Source left this guard dog just in case? I should escape…!"
Rosy had no intentions of fighting, having captured this info was more than enough, moving towards the door, she opened it and rushed outside.
"I have no time to deal with you, whatever you are, bye-bye!"
She opened the door and walked outside, only to realize that the outside was not really the outside, she had… entered the house again, into the same room as the one previous to this.
"Eh?"
"Heeeey! Where are you going?" asked the creature, with the voice of a young woman, as Rosy gritted her teeth and rushed towards the door in the new room, only to enter the same room again.
"What the?"
The creature slowly approached her, only for her to rush outside and find herself in… yet another similar room…
What kind of thing was this?! It was too ridiculous to be the truth!
"What is this?!"
Rosy quickly recalled something within her memories! She remembered one time she had entered a specialized trap made by a powerful Space Attribute Warlock. She had been trapped inside an underground dungeon that never ended, whenever she entered a new floor, the dungeon led her to the first floor, it was an endless loop with no way to escape!
However, she had realized that every dungeon that was like this always had a way to destroy it from the inside. The ability to manipulate space and even dimensions couldn't be easily created without an immense source of power, something named Mana Core that was placed in the middle of the dungeon would usually bring it with mana for it to continuously work.
Usually, they were underground, beneath her very feet, but the ground was harder than her own fists and legs at that time. Nonetheless, she had found a way through overusing her powers over a certain spot, until the concrete broke out and she found a secret hidden room underground, where a glowing sphere was fueling this nightmarish loop!
"This is a dimensional dungeon with an endless loop mechanism. That monster follows you everywhere you go and slowly approaches you. It seems to be completely immune to my physical power, perhaps destroying its soul could make it die, but I cannot do such a thing without losing most of my power in the process… I have to find the core and escape!"
"Hey! Where are you? Ah!"
The creature emerged in the form of a beautiful girl, surprising Rosy for a bit. This girl was a gothic beauty with pale-white skin and long black hair with gleaming crimson-red eyes… it was no one else than Terra's strongest goddess, the Goddess of Chaos, Axitl!
Axitl released a bit more of her power when she met with Rosy, such enormous, overwhelming Aura that even surpassed by far those at the peak of the Demigod Superhuman-level of power… Shew as an authentic Goddess!
However, Rosy wasn't able to properly discern her power due to the little amount that Axitl revealed, but instantly felt that she could quite possibly be at the pinnacle of SSS-Rank if not a bit higher!
"S-Shit! Here, take this gift!"
"Oh?"
Rosy opened her spatial bag as she threw a strange jewel at Axitl, the jewel began to spin around and released a toxic gas around her, blocking her vision… Or well, that's what Rosy thought would happen, as Axitl opened her mouth and absorbed all the poisonous gases, and ate the jewel in half a second.
"AH?!"
Rosy threw a smoke bomb and then used her ability named [Shadow Sneak] to enter the shadows of the house and sneak out of Axitl's grasp, getting upstairs and trying to find the dungeons' core of power!
"Where is it?! Where is it, damn it!"
She rushed around the house, running on loops continuously, Axitl used a bit more of her speed to catch up to her, tailing her from behind! She had to admit it, Rosy was very fast!
"There you are! My dearie told me to eat anyone that gets inside the house…" said Axitl.
"G-Get off!"
Rosy desperately fought against Axitl's miasma tentacles that attacked her, as she struggled to move and used her daggers to slice through her barely, jumping outside the window!
CRASH!
She reached the same room where she was, of course, gritting her teeth, she rushed towards another door, finding the same room again, Axitl jumped through the window and was right behind her!
"Shit! Ah! There!"
Through her expanded supernatural senses, Rosy managed to find the presence of the Core, right below her feet!
