Void's Dungeon catered to a very different type of clientele in comparison to Frost's and Indra's. The Dungeon of Niflheim and the Lightning grotto held a great variety of monsters, offering bountiful materials and ample hunting experience for their delvers.
Void's Prism of the Mind (the official name of his Dungeon) however promised complicated puzzles, difficult riddles, unique traps and most importantly magic based treasures. He would frequently create low level spell books, one time inscriptions and other oddities to be placed throughout his Dungeon, making the experience a true treasure hunt and a holy land for young and aspiring mages.
But for Queek and his army of rats Void's Dungoen was a literal death trap. His rats charged without care, rampaging through the narrow walls of the maze, powerless against Void's traps. Every few minutes a new group would either be teleported away and transported before a powerful enemy or be dropped into a hazardous area, both quickly claiming their lives.
The number of traps, their careful arrangement, the reckless advancement of his forces and the sheer number of rats made evading impossible. Frost and his siblings repeatedly watched as Queek's forces were methodically displaced and eradicated. Frost had to admit that his younger brother was far better than he was when it came to trap management.
Thus he leaned in and took many mental notes, hoping to improve his own craft. Maya smiled at his side, silently approving of his conduct.
"Seems Void was a safe bet brother; we'll being making bank in a few hours." Indra chortled with a sparkle in his eyes. Like Frost he bet on Void to win, placing 7000DP on the line, chump change in his eyes but free DP was free DP.
"Agreed but let's not count out Queek so soon, he may have a few trump cards hidden away." Frost smiled and agreed with Indra.
"Void's defence appears pretty solid especially against what Queek's capable of, but his offence could certainly use some work." Aqua chimed in with a moment of clarity, causing the two brothers to alter their screens so as to view Queek's Dungeon.
A moment later Indra blurted out "You can't be serious!" Shocked by what he was seeing on the screen. Void's invading team was a mere fraction of Queek's, less than 100 monsters. Though their individual quality was rather high it was quite lacking in comparison.
Both Frost and Indra thus turned their gazes to the one person who could possibly explain this dilemma.
Chronos' body trembled under their scrutiny before mounting an explanation "Our Dungeons don't have many monsters in them. We focus more on quality than we do quantity so in my eyes scrapping together a hundred monsters is already pretty good... all things considered."
"Don't you think you should have told us that before we placed our bets?" Indra questioned with a twitching upper lip. Experience exclusive tales on m v|l e-NovelFire
Chronos looked away before answering back. "Does it matter?"
"You!"
"I know that no need to rub it in and....I'll bring it up with Void later." Frost knew he was a one trick pony; he didn't need to be reminded of it, but he also agreed with Maya's suggestion. His Dungeon really would benefit from a more varied monster roster and perhaps an environment that didn't have an ambient temperature that was below freezing.
On that note he perused the variety of his siblings, wondering who would make for a good training partner. Indra was at the top of the list obviously given their close relationship, but a few others may provide more unique opportunities.
Once the war hit the two hour mark and after a valiant effort on Queek's part his invading forces were finally eradicated by Void's defences upon reaching the last section of the second floor, bringing an end to his invasion. Now all Void had to do was delve further within the remaining 2 hours to be granted a complete victory.
By this point Void's forces were still rather consolidated thanks to their superior strength and they had just reached the early stages of Queek's second floor. Therefore at the current rate it was obvious who'd be victorious in the end, but Queek refused to surrender, hopeful that a miracle would happen.
But unfortunately a little after 3 hours and despite Queek bringing out what he considered his trump card Void's forces reached his third floor thus bringing an end to the war.
Void had won and by no small margin. His forces still held close to half their original numbers while all of Queek's invading team was eradicated along with 80% of his defensive forces, a decisive victory.
"It's over, Void has won." Said Frost with a relaxed and satisfied expression.
"Hahahaha see I told you he'd win hahahahaha." Chronos erupted into celebration, pumping his fists high into the air and laughing as he relished in Void's victory as if it were his own.
"14,000DP, thank you Void!" Indra also celebrated with gusto. Focusing primarily on his winnings, completely forgetting about his earlier misgivings.
"Useless bastard!" Pyro however loudly cursed, directly insulting Queek and his efforts which quickly drew the ire of many of his siblings as well as their father. Dark really didn't appreciate Pyro bad mouthing his younger brother over his loss. Just because he had a particular grudge against Frost it didn't give him the right to drag in the rest of the family.
"Hmph!" Unfortunately Pyro's stubbornness and pride didn't allow him to apologise or admit any wrongdoing. Instead he blew steam out his nostrils and turned away, ignoring the glares from those around him.
Dark flourished his sleeve making the large viewing screen go black and magic crests to appear below both Queek and Void. A few minutes later the two Dungeon cores appeared back in the ball room to face their peers and relish in their results.
"Congratulations on winning your first Dungeon war Void, well done." Dark proceeded to start a loud round of applause causing the old man that was Void to rub his neck from embarrassment with a goofy smile on his face. Following that Dark looked at Queek with care and affection in his eyes.
"Queek you put in a valiant effort, I was happy to see such aggression within you after what happened to you before but in the end Void was simply the better Dungeon core, better luck next time."
"T...thank you Lord creator."
