Chapter 32:Fire Dungeon, part 7

Following the group of patrolling Lizardman from above, I was able to find their village. The Lizardman's village was located within 3 large connecting caverns that had houses made out of stone or carved with the walls of the cavern.

Along the ceiling of the caverns and the tunnels, I noticed that they used fire mana crystals as light sources and warmth instead of the normal magma I seen in the first floor. Although their was lava lakes scattered around the area, most of the light produced in the second floor was emitted from fire mana crystals.

Flying around the village, I noticed that the Lizardman haven't fully discovered the magical uses of the fire mana crystals.

Other things I've found in the village was the Lizardman's farms; Hellbark trees and lava fish farms. The Hellbark was what the dark blue wood they use was from and could also grow white apples.

Eva:This is interesting, the second layer is replicating the environment that someone would usually find in the nether.

Shomei:Is that this world version of Hell? And if so, maybe we were teleported to Hell at the begin of the dungeon.

Eva:No, this isn't the nether, it's probably a Dimensional Space someone made.

Shomei:How can you tell?

Eva:Well the metal doors obviously, and the fact that Lizardman don't live in the nether. The nether is filled with zombies, skeletons, and pig like creatures.

Shomei:Why pig like creatures?

Eva:Honestly, the people in aether or heaven for the User, didn't want to look at or smell the pig like creatures since most of them were disgusting, dirty, and ugly.

Shomei:... I don't even know what to say about that.

Eva:Well they weren't wrong and not all pig like creatures were sent to the nether. Pigkin is the best example of pig like creatures who aren't straight up sent to the nether once they die. Although if the Pigkin was sinful in their lifetime, they'll obviously still get sent to the nether.

Shomei:Ok moving on, I wonder where the door to the next layer is? Although saying that, it's probably hidden and protected by the Lizardman and their king.

Eva:Queen, Lizardman have queens since females are the ones usually stronger and/or bigger in nature.

Shomei:... that sucks, I'll probably have to kill her to open the door to the next layer.

Eva:Just keep in mind that lizardkin might be in the next layer.

Shomei:Yeah but that means I might have to kill that queen to.

Eva:... there might be treasure at the end.

Shomei:Like I need treasure with my magic.

Eva:You'll never know, there might be something the User can't make. Just try to stay on the positive side.

Shomei:"Sigh* whatever, I just need to find the next door"

...

Looking around the village, I couldn't find the door to the next layer.

Since it's already night outside the dungeon, I decide to leave exploring the dungeon another time.

Checking in the magma slimes, all of them were done with their training and was hunting salamanders in the first layer.

Just in case if any of the magma slimes reached level 25, I gave them all experience stones.

To be able to make magma stones as incentives again, I told the magma slimes to practice casting multiple [C+. Magma Cutter] at the same time.

After commanding the golems the new requirements for giving the magma slimes magma stone, I left into my Inner World.

Since I didn't have anything but the fire bird and salamanders corpse, I made magma stones and fire mana crystals for the witches. To make it seem that I actually found them inside the dungeon, I made the magma stones and fire mana crystals Chipped and Flawed.
