Chapter 642 Reaching Floor 3



-----

"Everyone, don't lower your guards, Floor 3 is the most dangerous one. It is where the most Abyssal Ants were, and it is a gigantic Cave System. The Ant Queen I remember had the power to shape the Dungeon and the walls, so it is very easy to get lost. Stay at our side and don't sidetrack." I told everyone.

"ALRIGHT!"

The Dwarves seemed to be ready for it, so there was no point in taking longer than we've already had taken, we stepped into the stairs leading to the Third and Last Floor of the Dungeon, slowly walking until the last stair.

And there it was, we were greeted by a beautiful yet black-colored and ominous-looking cave. The stone was purple and black instead of the natural gray and blue, and the entire atmosphere gave out a very terrifying presence and aura to it…. Well, not too much to me, I was pretty alright being a ghost and all.

The dwarves, however, I could clearly heard their uneasiness as we walked across these underground cave labyrinth. Lucifer and Brunhild covered our front and back respectively, their enormous and scaled bodies were our shields from any ambush.

"Its awfully silent here… Where are the Ants?" Wondered Partner.

"I can see them…" I said. "And I can also feel the Fragment of the Evil God, it is furious, it seems. And it is emanating a very strong aura, it is fueling this entire Floor with strong quantities of Miasma…"

I looked into my Automatic Map, as most of the Dungeon Floor started to get mapped as I spread small Phantom Familiars the size of flies, which were mostly invisible to the giant monsters crawling here. As I mapped the area, I quickly noticed armies of Abyssal Ants waiting in ambush in each corner of these places.

Woah these bastards are crafty- Wait, what is that?!

However, amongst the Abyssal Ants, there were also another group of new monsters. Gigantic golems made of stone and crystals rested there, waiting for a foe to approach, and with them… what are these? Graves?

T R U U U U U M M M M M…!

The ground suddenly began shaking as I sensed the presence of many beings crawling underground! Moles? No, these things are not moles at all!

"A tremor?!" Asked Lucifer.

"Look!" Takeshi pointed at the distance, as gigantic graves emerged one after the other, hundreds of them blocked our path!

"G-Graves…?" Emeraldine asked.

"Is there a monster shaped as a grave?" Partner asked.

"Not that I remember…" I said. "But this is… not a monster, these graves are special Dungeon Devices, and they summon…"

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, from within the underground, large monsters emerged one after the other. Their bodies were overflowing with Miasma and Death Essence, and they were decaying. Over a hundred zombies appeared, roaring furiously at us. Ghosts showed up as well, screaming and howling in agonizing fury. Skeletons of various shapes and forms as well, some resembled turtles, others larger or smaller reptile skeletons.

And of course, there were also hundreds of human-like zombies and skeletons. These guys were not humans though, they were smaller, burlier, and had big armors and long bears. They were all dwarves! Dwarf Zombies and Skeletons!

"Undead?!" Asked Brunhild.

"I can see a lot of Undead Turtles and Lizards as well!" Lucifer said. "They have crystals attached to them, I can assume they're the same ones we fought back then when you let us gain levels…"

"Yeah, I think they are… This bastard of a dungeon had such a massive army of Undead?!" I asked in surprise.

"Wait, those are dwarves! Our kin…" Helga said. "Could these hundred fallen warriors be the ones that came here before us? I knew they were many that died, but this many?!"

"This is horrible…"

"I had grown accustomed to Maria's undead, but seeing our own kin enslaved into an evil dungeon is not my thing!"

"Yeah, this is completely different now!"

"It's personal!"

"Use your light magic attacks to purify them! We must send their souls to Valhalla!" Helga roared.

"Yeah! I will help as well, we must definitely not let them be enslaved…" Emeraldine said. "Maria seems to be incapable of taking them to her side, they must have been completely corrupted by the Evil God Fragment's powers."

"Yeah, I cannot take them to our side, these Undead are different, like… they were raised differently than mine, they were converted into Undead purely through Infectious Miasma, not through Skills or Magic and correctly done. And the worst isn't just this, I can feel more and more Undead and Abyssal Ants crawling everywhere… We'll need to go all out to beat them all and get to the boss room!" I said, leading the charge. "Let's go! [Summon]!"

FLAAAASH!

I quickly summoned my army of Undead, which now had added over four hundred Abyssal Ants as I boosted their power through buffing spells and bone armor for extra protection! The Abyssal Ants rushed forward, attacking with their fearfully big  jaws. Some were covered on flames and others on darkness and lighting, receiving the elements which they were killed with.

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH!

The clash between monsters echoed loudly across the caves, as I quickly ordered many of the Undead to explode to expand the range of attack and set chaos into the enemy ranks. The explosions came with chain explosion as well, which took over the ranks of Undead and Ants army.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!

The explosions continued, as Emeraldine and the Dwarves used their Light Magic to purify the Undead as well, unleashing beams of light, exploding light arrows, and Root even helped with his Sunlight Beams, devastating the Undead even more to not allow any to escape the afterlife.

I unleashed several of my Magic Spells and powerful Skills as well, opening up a path which we walked through, as we reached the next corridor… only to be ambushed by even more Monsters!
