Chapter 250: Frigging Dungeons

[Charm Ray] Activated!

I hit the closet dragon, a massive red-headed beast with yellow cat-like eyes with slits for pupils. The pupils of the red dragon were now small red hearts, and the rest of the eye bled from yellow to a solid pink. The dragon took on a look of desire and lust but then turned on the green and blue that were already taking deep breaths.

The red dragon went for the green, catching it by surprise, and biting into its neck, and pushing its huge head towards the blue dragon that was mid breath, forcing it to stop. The green dragon was forced to expel fire in the other dragon's face, but it was a dragon and the fire had no effect. Still, it had pissed the blue dragon off and it attacked the green dragon, thinking it was helping.

But that wasn't the case, and when the green dragon disappeared in a shower of black particles, the red attacked. The blue was already turning back to me and never saw it coming. The red bit the blue behind the head on its neck and then clawed the blue until it shattered into the small black digital bits.

[Death Ray] Activated!

The Red dragon shrunk to a single point and disappeared. There was nothing left, not a single black bit appeared, almost like when I killed Datum and Grismald. That was new, and a bit disturbing, I wonder what it meant?

'Don't worry, it's a normal death, you just wouldn't get any experience from the kill, the particles are experience markers in the game worlds. All twelve are like this because there are varied systems, and some use experience while others use other ways. So, I assume you did the monsters this way for convenience since you like the random so much.' -Dansei

'This would be fine if I was playing for fun, but trying to beat the game for real as a normal player, even with my cheating is a real pain. It's almost like the game I created is testing me to see if I am worthy. Did you hear me before about the fifth leader?'

'Yes, and just like you assumed, we know nothing, but I don't think that is a blocked memory. There is just nothing there to remember like I never knew so there is nothing to look for in my thoughts. Blocked memories are just what they sound like, it's like something is stopping me from getting that last bit. You know that feeling of having something on the tip tongue? The same, but I know the information is there, and I can feel the block stopping me from seeing or saying things I shouldn't.' -Dansie.

That just made my suspicions about Reginold deepen, but I had people to rescue! I started to move forward until the tunnel turned. Around the corner, there were two massive bull-men with large bucklers and maces, Minotaurs, not dragons. What the actual fuck? 

'Did I take a wrong turn somewhere? Is this the wrong place? I specifically remember them saying that dragons took the girls to a cave in the mountain? Why are there Minotaurs here?!'

'They didn't say what was already in the cave, and the monsters in dungeons usually stay in their areas. I'm going to just go ahead and blame this on you. I mean it's not really your fault, you made a good game!' -Dansei.

I looked back to the entrance, but it was just a dead-end, of course it was, what else would be there? This would have to be a dungeon because we can't just go for a frigging stroll through a cave without it turning into a blasted dungeon! I was starting to get really sick of me, but this was Reginold's fault for messing everything up. 

This was supposed to be and run through for a bunch of Game Masters, but somehow we are the player now. I floated forward and once I was twenty meters away I blasted both Minotaurs.

[Death Ray] Activated!

[Disintegration Ray] Activated!

One disappeared into a single point and the other exploded into a shower of black bits. I continued forward, still in a foul mood, but the eight more of the two-legged cows rushed around the corner! Yes, the chances of this happening were about Murphy percent, and I fired a Charm ray at the first one, who stopped and then got trampled into black bits. 

I was trying to back up fast and I fired off a Petrification Ray at the next one that took the lead, and then a Paralyzing Ray into the one just to the left of them. The effect caused them to freeze and fall, crushing the stunned one into black bits, but the other stole one tripped three.

Only ten seconds had passed and two were still rushing me so I hit the first with my Enervation Ray and dodge the first swing, which was very wide of me. The other bull-man was coming for me still, and I only had three options left.

Slowing him as a single target was a waste, and so was the Eyeon Ray, so I pointed the seventh eyestalk at the Minotaur that was just catching up with the one that missed me, and now they were both almost on me.

[Meteor Ray] Activated!

A massive magic circle filled the tunnel up to where I stood. It was similar in the magical marking the Meteor strike from the Wild Strike Class, but the size was over ten times that. Both Minotaurs tried to rush me but slammed into a transparent blue wall at the edge of the magic ring where I floated.

Behind them the other Minotaurs rushed in, the circle allowing them in. That was when the stone mountain ceiling disappeared and I could see the burning star get closer. The impact was loud, but after it was done the ceiling reappeared and the floor was unmarked.

Just another day in the fricking dungeon.
