38 Dungeon of Truth 2

Chapter 36: Dungeon of Truth 2

*Panting*

The whole room trembles as I fight with the bear.

Each of our clashes creates tremendous sparks and gusts of winds. I keep moving on and attacking until a certain gauge to be full.

I couldn't feel the wounds I'm having right now as I clash with the polar bear who didn't speak. Not that he will speak since in the first place, he can't speak. But he communicates with us due to telepathy. And if I may say, he sure talks a lot.

{{Are you angry?}} the bear asked.

I'm angry?

That's right. I feel so mad right now.

I didn't answer him with words as I continue to rain him with his attacks.

{{Is it because of what happened to your friend?}}

Is it because Frea almost die? No. Then is it because she lied, that she wanted to live?

Since the first time I met her, she is always smiling. She reminds me a lot of a certain idiot.

Then maybe because she remind me of her, that's why I'm being like this.

("Because we are already friends,") Frea's words haunted me down.

'Friends?'

*Swoosh!*

{{It's not my fault that she lied. Entering the dungeon, lying with the questions asked here has a huge punishment.}}

I still doesn't answer.

{{Why are you even bothering with them? You could answer the question and proceed to the next floor.}}

I halt my attacks as I jump a few meters away from him.

It is true. The question for this floor is easy.

"Why," he asked? They are not characters of the Journey of End. I was supposed to be with Rey's group and watch and help them progress each level or I should do things on my own.

I suppose to do the plans, I needed to do in preparation for the next quest.

But why? Why am I here? Why am I with this people, that has nothing to do with the progress of the story?

Since I met them, I am going astray of the story.

'We're Friends.'

"It is because they are useful to me."

No that's not it.

{{Is that really the truth?}}

"Whether it is the truth or not, it has nothing to do with you."

[Impact Release has been activated]

I rushed towards him and disappear in front of him. Then reappeared, behind him.

"Impact Release," I stab the dagger to his nape before he could even make his move.

*Boom!*

*Boogsh!*

I flew off hitting the wall. But I manage to control my fall and was able to still land with my two feet and stand-up.

{{Hahaha. How amusing that you are liars to each other.}}

The huge golem polar bear, dropped on the floor creating a thud sound and the whole floor trembles.

[You killed your first monster.

Reward: 20 gold

You've got a new title: Monster Slayer]

The title that is given to those who slay monsters. And the one that I don't want to have.

I guess, I'm trying so hard to be like Rey. Doing things, that I thought I could do just because I know the events. But in truth, he is him and I am me. No matter what I do, I can't do the same things he did confidently. We are entirely different with each other. Maybe, that is also the reason that I don't want to stick with him? And sticking with this guys instead? The same people, who have no relations with the novel at all.

"Via, are you ok?" I look to see Dina heading in my direction.

"Yes," I said with indifference with my tone.

"About what happened back in the Rey's base." Dina looks sideways.

"No need to worry about that, just take care of those two sleepy heads there," I said as I turn my back on her and started to walk away.

"Shall we go now?" Mira reappeared on my side.

"Where are you when I'm fighting?" I cross both of my arms and look at her clearly annoyed.

Mira shrugs both her shoulder. "Watching," she said nonchalantly.

I gave her a skeptical look.

"I only said that I would prevent you from dying. And none of those sorts happened," she said and we halt on our steps.

We are on the outside of the room now.

"Just teleport us already to the final floor" I said. I already felt tired doing all of this and just want to finish it all.

"Hai!" Mira then starts chanting some words that I don't understand again and the next thing I knew, I was now standing in front of a huge dark door.

On the top of the door, there are red glowing characters of 100th on it.

The final boss of the dungeon floor is beside this room.

|||"The truth about is because of your selfishness. You were not able to do anything as you watch those close to you die and the world you originally live got destroyed."

The Final Boss of the Dungeon of Truth spat out all those words to Argaux as soon as he step inside the room. This is the 16th transmigration of Argaux on Earth - J.O.E|||

Instead of questions given from floor 1-99 of the Dungeon of Truth, in the final floor, what the dungeon boss would give you is all about the truth about you, both good and the bad. And some things you don't even want to find out.

Once I step in this door, would the fact that I know the story of this world would be revealed?

I drank three <Fairy's tear> to cover up all the hp and mp, I lost from the fight before.

Even if I don't want to enter here, this is the only way to get out of this place. To defeat the final dungeon boss.

"Umm, excuse me could I get the end terms of our deal now that I escort you here now," Mira said with fidgety voice.

"Actually, I have another request..." I raised my hand to stop her from talking.

"You could choose more items from my inventory if you fulfill my request," I said and her eyes glimmers with my words.

"Oh, hohoho, why didn't you say so? Speak..."

"Please make the rat following me disappeared."

With that said, Mira disappeared and the next thing I know is a loud scream of a man was heard before the place covered with silence again.

Mira reappeared in front of me again.

"All done, though he disappeared immediately since it is just a shadow puppet,"

'Shadow puppet...'

I throw the items that is placed in storage ring to Mira which she caught hurriedly.

"The other items will follow suit, after I defeat the boss..." Mira wanted to retort, but it is too late as the final dungeon door opened...

{Interesting, you have truths that could change the flow of everything's fate...}

That is the first thing I heard as I step inside the room...

"And that truth would only remain here since I will kill you."

{Hahaha! Interesting! Let's see!"}

A burst of booming laughter echoed through the whole room.

The battle to keep the truth now begins...
