Chapter 623 Deepest Depths

Chapter 623 Deepest Depths

The Elves witnessed it all.

The sight of nature in its purest form was burned into their minds.

They saw how Monsters devoured fellow Monsters, and how cruel the entire process could be. The world within the Dungeon was unforgiving-certainly not for the faint of heart or weak in spirit.

It was a complete nightmare.

Rey took them through paths, traversing various Floors so they could see even more of the calamity occur right before their eyes.

Some of them protested, desiring more than anything to leave the horrid place, but they were all ignored.

"You can leave if you want." They were told, but none of them dared to step a foot outside the only shroud of protection that they currently had.

They also couldn't attack Rey. If they did, and the barrier collapsed, they were pretty much done for too. As a result, they all followed him obediently-like sheep in a herd.

Finally, after reaching the entrance to the Bottom Floor of the Dungeon, they finally halted their long and frightening journey.

"C-can we go back now?"

"I'm so tired... and hungry..."

"My legs hurt. This place stinks. I want to go home."

Rey tuned out their whinings and focused on the door that stood in front of him. It was a double door, one he had to push from both sides to open. The thick stony surface showed just how strong of a barrier it was-and how heavy the doors were.

Still, this level of obstruction was no match for him.

'Before I go in, though...' Rey closed his eyes and sent his senses across the door one last time, doing his best to confirm the contents within.

'Beautiful...' His thoughts trailed as he laid eyes on the untouched garden that was the Final Floor of the Dungeon.

And it was just that-in every literal sense of the word.

The multi-colored flowers were almost as tall as an adult human being, and they decorated the entire space. Some were bright yellow, while others a dull purple. Some had various colors on their petals, and some had colors that seemed to change within moments.

The 'garden' that was this Floor seemed serene, with flowers like this growing in all areas of the room.

All areas but the very center, where a certain creature lay. As Rey stepped into the Final Floor, he felt the effects of gravity diminish almost instantly. Slowly, his body began to float in the air, and the same applied to all the girls who remained in his barrier.

All of them left the ground and found themselves swimming in the air.

'I see. This is similar to what Lucielle told me, and what I confirmed myself. The Mana Saturation of the Lowest Dungeon Floors, and the strange effects it can have on the environment.'

The last time he experienced this was in the last Floor of the Royal Dungeon-when the Dragon Commander appeared.

'Time flowed a lot faster down there than on the surface. It seems like this time it's gravity that's being affected. Or could it be the Boss' Skill?' Upon having this thought, Rey cast his gaze on the sleeping creature.

The beast looked like a dog, but it had five heads, with horns attached to each head-as if numbering them. The head at the center had the highest number of horns, five of them twisted and gnarled as they stiffly stood in place.

The Monster's snoring ruined the serene atmosphere, though Rey didn't see much of a difference with it's noise and the constant ramblings of the Young Ones.

'I'm beginning to understand why all the Elders I've met always seem grumpy!'

He had only met two, but the similarities were clear.

"In any case, it's time for a bit of an experiment." Rey smiled as he looked at the Elves behind him.

'I have all my specimens here. Might as well begin!
