Will of chaos

On the way to the mansion, I leave the others talking while I remember the way Vanessa fought today.

I remember the spells Érica and Irina taught me, the defense type spells are divided into physical defense to deter physical attacks, magic defense to deter magic attacks, elemental defense, and basic defense.

Basic defense is variations of the same spell known as Mana Barrier, it is considered the best defense, but it is also considered the worst defense, the reason for this is that this barrier can deter all types of attacks, but each time that it takes to damage the Mage's mana is consumed in the same proportion as the damage taken, this makes the Mage at a great disadvantage when using this spell as he runs the risk of running out of mana completely in the middle of combat.

Irina told me that Mages usually use layered barriers, the way to do this is to put the Mana barrier first and put the other defenses in front leaving the Mana barrier as the last line of defense so the mage is as safe as possible. while trying to save your energy for battle.

But I was confused why Vanessa didn't do it the way I was taught, maybe she did it that way as part of her training?

I'll ask her later, today I saw Vanessa fighting very well using only magic, I could also see her fighting as a team along with Irina, Irius, and Ibuki.

If everything keeps going well we'll all be able to fight together when we get deeper into the Dungeon, at first I wanted everyone to get used to fighting the Undead, so I fought today too, in order to gain some practical experience fighting Count the Zombie Commander.

I think I'll have to start using the light spells Irina taught me, I don't think I've used them before, normally I use more wind, fire, or earth element magic, it's still very difficult to process so many attack variations at the same time during the combat, so I try to restrict the types of attacks I can make to keep myself in control of what I can do during a fight.

----------

While I got lost in my thoughts we arrived at the mansion, then Caryna appeared saying the food was almost ready, we could even smell the food, in this brief distraction we didn't notice Ibuki's disappearance.

The next thing I hear is Caryna screaming as she arrives in the kitchen and Leo dragging a chained Ibuki still with a piece of meat in its mouth back into the bedroom.

With Caryna having to start cooking again, everyone had time to shower and change into more comfortable clothes before eating.

During the meal we were talking about what happened at Dungeon today, Ivan and Diana were telling me what I did wrong when facing that Zombie Commander, they also talked about what I could have done differently.

Meanwhile, Irina, Érica, and Vanessa were talking about magical attack patterns and their own fighting styles, it seems they were seeking advice from each other to get stronger.

After the commode, I told everyone to go to sleep and I said I was going to try to get to floor 51 tomorrow, the same floor where Carlos stopped.

The reason not to go deeper tomorrow is because the monsters will start to get stronger and more numerous from now on, so we'll have to be careful and proceed calmly.

After eating and talking to everyone I go to my room and stand on the balcony watching Byakko, Yomi, and Layla playing with the Spirits and Fairy Children in the garden.

"Can I bother you a little?"  (Ivan)

"You never bother me, Ivan, don't worry about formalities and talk any way you want around me."  (I)

"It's hard for me not to be formal as I was raised the Prince of a Kingdom, losing old habits is difficult."  (Ivan)

"Do what makes you most comfortable, but what do you want to talk about?"  (I)

"I want to talk about the Dungeon of the Undead."  (Ivan)

"Since day one I've been feeling something strange in there, but I didn't know what it was, all I could tell is that with each step deeper I could feel this strangeness better."  (Ivan)

"I thought that because I turned into a monster the way I felt inside the Dungeons had changed, but I didn't feel that strangeness in the Dungeon of the Great Serpent."  (Ivan)

"The only thing I find strange is that amount of miasma, even Carlos and Mari think that miasma is strange."  (I)

"That was where I was going to get, today just before I left the dungeon I finally understood the strangeness I was feeling, it was the miasma, I was feeling some kind of presence mixed with the miasma."  (Ivan)

"A presence? From whom? Was it not some monster?"  (I)

"I can't tell, it didn't look like the presence of a monster, a person or a Demi, I couldn't understand what it was."  (Ivan)

"..." (I)

"Don't worry, as we progress through the dungeon we can find out what is this strangeness you felt, what do you think?"  (I)

"All right."  (Ivan)

After a short conversation with Ivan telling him not to worry so much he leaves, so I call Vanessa into my room to watch over me while I drink Dragon's blood.

It wasn't surprising that horrible pain ran through my entire body, but I was starting to take this kind of thing better, soon the pain was gone and Vanessa was healing me.

Ding!

<[ Her skill leveled up [ Great Pain Resistance: 3 > 4 ] ]>

<[ Your bloodline has become stronger and purer [ True Dragon: 15% > 20% ] ]>

I was already finding it strange to have achieved a blood purity of 20% and still not have gained any kind of skills, this has never happened before.

I would like to understand why this is, but since I have nothing to do about it I'm going to sleep to be in the best condition for tomorrow, so I lie down on my bed and go to sleep.

zzzzzz...

Zzzzz...

zzzz...

----------

The next day Alice wakes me up at Freya's request, after dressing me up as well as others we ate and left for the dungeon.

Today it's planned to go to the floor where Carlos stopped exploring which is floor 51, the boss monster on floor 50 is one I didn't want to face and there are others in my group who think the same way as I do, for so I decided to tell everyone to attack so we can kill him as quickly as possible.

Once we get to the dungeon we enter and go straight to floor 40, the boss monster of this floor is called Meat Golen, this is a monster whose entire body is made of rotten flesh, it has no weak points to attack, so The only way to kill him is to attack with fire, this monster doesn't use magic and doesn't have attack skills, but his defense and stamina are amazing making an enemy difficult to defeat.

But that's not the biggest problem, what's worse was his appearance, which Carlos described in his briefings as a grotesque body made up of the rotting flesh of several different monsters, not only his hideous appearance but also his rotten smell.

Just imagining such a creature is disgusting, if I could I wouldn't want to face this monster, but Ivan said that as we don't know yet which dungeon boss is, the best we can do is gain as much experience as possible fighting these monsters to be prepared.

This time I wasn't going to let Vanessa participate in the battle, this time Layla, Ivan, and Érica will attack this monster, my plan is very simple, once we find this monster we will all use our strongest fire magic to defeat this one monster with a single attack.

With that plan in place, we followed the map Carlos left to go straight to where the boss of this floor is and I used my detection skill to dodge the monsters until we got there.

Once we got inside and checked where this monster is we followed my plan and quickly used our fire spells hitting it with Firebolts, fire spears, fire shots, etc.

Ding!

<[ you gained 720 EXP from enemy kill ]>

The moment we spotted the monster we attacked without even giving it time to move, just seeing its appearance was far worse than anything I could think of, Layla and I continued using our fire attacks until there was nothing left of this thing's body. beyond his core.

After killing this monster let's get its core and look at the chest that appeared, Layla, who was curious to see what was inside, flew off to open the chest, as soon as she touched the chest it opened showing several sharp teeth and a long tongue, then the chest tries to devour Layla with a single bite.

"< Freeze >" (Layla)

Frightened and taken aback by this surprise attack, Layla used a mid-level Ice element spell that froze this thing in a place like a statue of ice, it froze with its mouth open and tongue sticking out trying to eat Layla.

After pulling away and taking a few deep breaths, Layla creates several blades with her space element and cuts this icy stay to shreds with a face filled with rage.
