Is It Wrong For A Gamer To Be In The Dungeon? Familia Myth Of Zetta

...

I cannot let my guard down for the second time now, and because of this that I cannot—couldn't drink any potions, because if those small span of time has been created or if I try to do so, I will automatically directly straight to oblivion by this monster like what it did the last time, thats for sure.

While the Jaggernaut run towards me— "Old guy, if you still have an energy left to spare, stand up!" I shouted, and the clash started.

At the same time, who I called. Bors stands up and still sweating cold as the fear are still lingering through his freshly damage bones

Good. He heard me. Is what I thought after noticing him stand his ground— I shouted towards him because I saw him twitched just now

To the battlefield

Zzzzap Zzzzap—

Without delay, black Lightning manifested around my feet and spreaded throughout my body as my hair started to stand up in straight.

Outside the Battlefield, "Please, take Cranel-san away" says Ryuu to Adventurer Bors, as the Old guy hefted the small rabbit into his broad shoulder with a single nod as his reply.

"I'm sorry, I will stay here, so please keep him safe", Ryuu follow a word and patted Bell's rabbit-like hair while Bors started to retreat with Bell in tow.

'Really, why did you have to stay here goddamn it!' As I saw the Old man walk out of the floor only with Bell, I cursed in alarm. Ryuu at the same time stayed still, I wanted to smack her head but then, she started chanting as her hand are reaching off to me

[The song of a now distant forest. The nostalgic song of life. Please bring the mercy of healing to those that seek you—]

——CLANG!!

Parrying the monsters latest attack, I at the same time, teleported infront of her as her hand touches my back—

[—Noah Heal!] At her last word, some of my light wound started to close, and the pain from heavy wound subsided. I now felt that my body lightened due to my stamina charging up.

As for the extra heal from my Kite Shield. Well, I'm sure as I level up and the help of Stats in Falna, my HP grew big. And its heal at the same time became only a single drop of water in the ocean as of right now. Long story short. Useless.

As for Ryuu's [Noah Heal]. Thanks to that I now can lift my body freely as the warmth enters through my skin and run through my vein, through blood and towards my very bone and slowly creeping through my brain. That feeling is only plays for a second but it felt like an eternal bliss,

But I should not have it loose as the Jaggernaut charged towards us, I fetch up Ryuu's waist and jumped back, dodging my Assailant through any skill possible and widened our distance

"I thought you were useless the moment you overwhelmed by fear... but then again, thanks for healing me. Now, run away from here!" Like that, I drop her near the waterfall until the Jaggernaut arrive from tailing us. She said something but I didn't hear them as I activated my trump card yet again

ZZzzap—

I activated my newly obtain skill for the second time.

This one, is the skill I obtained from that [Grimoire of D.e.s.i.r.e] the last time...

Black Lightning

A skill that helps me destroys every enemy that hinders me.

A skill that protects everyone I hold dear

A skill that helps me reach out of a person I hold dear.

And of course, a skill that protects me from harm...

And why its black you say? I don't know and why it also has a weird name; but I'm sure, what I d.e.s.i.r.e at that time is a manifestation of a lightning itself

"Uwo!!!" Black lightning covers my entire body until it concentrated towards my both hands after activating <Haize Pala> and thew it towards the monster, of course it reflected back to me again but that was only the gap I created as I already above its head and hold them with both hands while my foothold is its own shoulder while crouching.

<Absolute Thunder!>

Is the name of the chantless magic I receive. And yes, Not a lightning but a thunder.

It deflected some of my skill but the lightning current is only charged towards my arm again

Kiyaaaoooh——!

The Jaggernaut replied with a hoarse screech of pain while at the same time, its two tail, pierced my heart and stomach successively.

"Kuuwahg! Kuh!" I cough up pools of blood, twice

"N-no!!!!" She wail out after witnessing what was happened as if she's already sure that I was dead, she charged towards us but I shake my head telling her not to come

No missy, not this time!

I won't die this time.

This was fatal, but not this time. This isn't my time yet... my Adventure, my Myth... is only Just begun!

So with that thought, I didn't stop my assault

<Rewind!> the skill creates a clock ticking counter clockwise for only 2 seconds—

And then! <Absolute Thunder!> <Absolute Thunder!> <Absolute Thunder!>

I threw 3 of them successively after the Rewind as its tail glitches through my body and passes through while the damage was ultimately restored, and at the same time, its head turned to charcoal dark.

And until I confirmed that its whole body returned to dust, did I release my skill activation, I grinned out of happiness and this time, my conciousness faded for good.

Ahh I see. So this is Mind Down.

Is the word I last to remember.

※ ※ ※

At the same place where happens the heartbreaking scene a moments ago. A place are now in peace that one could hear a single bit of a sound of a critter—only if they could live inside the dungeon.

So this time, the only sound is coming from a wide and big waterfall and the flow of a water current within this peace-looking place as if they're not in the dungeon.

But then, the voice of an elf, break this silent as she look towards the unconcious man "You really are an amazing... and at the same time, I can't understand you at all, really, and although I was happy that you're not a goner by now, but what is that? How did that attack didn't leave any mark on your body?" The elf, Ryuu looked at the unconcious Zetta with so many question needed an immediate answer while she gave him a l.a.p pillow and silently rub his unhollowed c.h.e.s.t and stomach. She clearly seen what happened, how that place has been stab from his back, but alas, not a single hole could be seen.

"Are you always this strong? No, at that time from 17th and 18th floor, I'm sure you're not this quitely strong but only fast" Ryuu close her eyes and reminisce from that time and smile as she raise up her chin. She knew it was him who was adjusting for them to have a synergy from hat time. Ryuu cannot put them into words, but that is the first time that someone follow her very move as if they were dancing between life and death.

She also remember the time that this same man clasps his hand against her without a second thought even though he knew she was an elf.

"Not only that, you even confessed when we were just a complete stranger. But still. . . That is the first time I heard that exact word, directly towards me" she look at him again.

'But then again, you were selfish by destroying that memory, you bastard, useless dumbass'

'Still... I was happy' she then bit her lips

At the same time place her face against Zetta's forehead and muttered "You know, I don't know what should I reply until now. From that confession of yours, that is—"

KRrrkk—!

SSssss——!

Out of nowhere, before she could finish her word, the wall near the waterfall created cracks, big enough to see who peaked.

"That!" Ryuu couldn't help but aghasp while grabbing Zetta's unconcious body, but the lose in strength hold her body downbas all she could do is to stay still and hug the man.

——Kiyaaaaa!

As the monster emerged, it opened its mouth and completely swallowed the elf and Zetta along with the ground beneath them. Anyone could see that theres something big who bite the whole ground...

At the same time, the monster dive below the waterfall and started to slither away

Who ate the two is the Monster Rex called, Amphisbaena. The monster with two headed snake, but this snake has the twice the size of the monster rex of the same name that the Godhood Familia killed just a couple of weeks ago.

Half an hour later, the Hestia Familia along with others who came here after Bell told them that his master and Ryuu are at this level, discovered the mark of a bite, big enough to eat anyone without blinking an eye. Watching this, they scared sh*tless

But only one person didn't look at that area but instead walk towards the cliff. Bell, look below the unendless waterfall and clenched his teeth, he regain his conciousness but the wound and impact from the Jaggernaut are still lingering inside his body as he swayed. Haruhime caughr his staggering and limped body

"Ryuu-saaaaaan!!!! Masteeeeer!!!" Helplessly, he shouted below and only heard a small sound echoes towards them, but none came out.

"Lets go!" Bell ordered his party consists of Hestia, Takemikazuchi and Miach Familia after drinking a piece of potion.

This time of the day, because they just finish their exploration did the Godhood disperse for a while and hunt separately.

And as for why the Artemis Familia isn't in the Dungeon. They receive a mission from the Guild of who knows what.

"The strongest flame temporarily vanish. But the green leaves was guarding it even in exchange of its own life" Cassandra of Miach Familia, murmured from the sideline while looking below. Daphne heard her but she only shakes her head in lost. This time, their party started to venture below floors without any back ups

Below the Guild Headquarters

"The dungeon are getting angrier and angrier caused by that young man" an Old man muttered, namely Ouranos as he open his eyes.

Fels who just emerged, ask for confirmation "is it Zetta-kun? Ouranos-sama?"

Ouranos nodded, "Hmm, the entity I cannot discren if good or bad, that even Loki is now aware of... and if this continues, the dungeon will spawn stronger calamity and become the graveyard to all Adventurers even before the start of the new Era"

Silently, the hundred year old Fels, look elsewhere but didn't make any move or ask any follow up question.
