Ch 79: Dungeon diving. PT2
Sitting on the stairs to the 4th floor Ruby puts away her lunch box.
"I don't get it? How is Kyra such a good cook?" Yang says
"I don't know? I think it's time we continued further down." Osaka says
"Speaking of which? Osaka? Why are you not fighting again?" Blake asks
"Because we don't know if I would be able to physically train my self it I took a boost in stats from killing monsters." Osaka says
"Wouldn't it boost your stats when you trained yourself anyway?" Ruby suddenly asks
Everyone stops walking.
"Probably..." Osaka says
"So, you should fight anyway then?" Yang questions
"Yeah, it would make sense." Blake says
"'If that's the case we won't hold back.'" Ki Ozpin says through Osaka as her backpack full of monster stones disappear into a weird rip in space.
While Osaka suddenly holds her cane like you would a sword.
"Umm? Where did your stuff go?" Weiss asks
"Isn't that similar to what Kyra does?" Yang asks
"Oz says he wants to say yes , but he can't feel any magic when Kyra does it." Osaka says
"Interesting." Ruby says as she cuts the head off of a giant ant.
"When did the light change color?" Weiss asks looking up at the green walls.
===============
A few hours later
"Ughh! It feels like we are in an ants nest!" Yang shouts caving in the exoskeleton of the an in a single punch.
"Guys I see stairs!" Blake says being able to see better than them in the dark.
"Yes! Finally!" Weiss shouts.
Blake leads them over to the stairs and they see a misty floor below.
"I bet Kyra is upset we are missing dinner right now." Ruby says
"Hm? It's only 3" Osaka asks
"Oh? It feels like we were fighting forever." Ruby says walking forwards to suddenly fall into a hole that led to the floor below.
"Now we are super lost." Yang says sounding tired.
"Hey? Is that a walking pig?" Weiss asks seeing an Orc.
"No, Weiss he's a Faunus get it right." Blake says sarcastically.
"Look at the bright side. We should be a little over halfway to the 18th floor." Ruby says
"True at least we know as long as we head down. We will find some help our." Weiss says
"I'm surprised we haven't run into any other adventures." Osaka says
"Almost sounds like Fate is messing with us." Ruby says
While Osaka/Ozpin frowns and sighs knowing full well she's probably bored.
"So any idea on how to get out of here?" Ruby asks
Suddenly a bright light heads towards them.
All of them get out of the way to see a fireball the size of a fist fly by.
Suddenly a decent size lizard appears out of the smoke. Roaring at them.
"Awe, it thinks is threatening." Ruby says swinging her scythe as the monster drops dead before and dispersing into mana.
================
Meanwhile on the surface.
Kyra is in the forge with Hephaestus definitely not arguing about how Kyra decided to use electricity to help her turn iron to steel rather than carbonizing it.
"I'm just want to know where you learned that! There is no way you came up with that!" Hephaestus shouts.
Kyra just giggles unwilling to answer.
"I could teach you." Kyra says with a brilliant smile.
"I the goddess of the forge will not be thought by a god who is not a Devine smith." Hephaestus shouts when suddenly there is a knock at the door.
"Come in." Hephaestus says sighing to herself.
"Hephaestus-sama, there was an issue in the dungeon. It seems a strong monster got to the upper floors and wiped out the monster population on the floors." Tsubaki says a little pale.
Kyra just face palms.
"I forgot to tell them not do over do it." Kyra mutters sadly the two women heard it.
"I'm sorry?" Tsubaki asks
"Sorry, say when does the monster Rex on the 17th floor red pawn again?" Kyra asks wondering it there will be a show.
"It should sometime this week, why?" Tsubaki asks
'And knowing Sandstorm she's probably going to interfere so I'm guessing they will fight it.'
"Well, it's going to be quite a show when my children curb stomp it." Kyra says with a grin.
