"Blargh!"
As soon as everyone regained their senses, Nogla felt his stomach churning and before he knew it he was on the ground barfing.
"First timer huh?"
Looking at Nogla, who was on the ground barfing, the middle-aged man shook his head amusingly.
"Yeah, it happened the first time when he ate a Chorus Fruit." Terroriser told the man by his side.
"I don't know what that food is but yeah, teleportation sickness sometimes happens."
It took like a total of five minutes before Nogla was finally able to stop his body from barfing.
"Oh fuck, I felt like crap." Nogla said as he tried to get up, only for him to fall back to the ground. After having vomited so much, he could barely stand up.
"Sit down for a bit."
Leaning against a nearby rock, the middle-aged man held a new cigarette between his fingers and exhaled smoke in the air.
It was only after Nogla heard his voice that he managed to get a clear look at his surroundings.
A vast plain field filled with oak trees was before his sight and if one looked ahead, towering mountains that penetrated the clouds could be seen.
The air felt extremely fresh and it reminded Nogla of the time when he was in Clayton ridge.
"Hey Nogla, snap out of it, check this shit out." Terroriser snaps his finger, waking Nogla up, knowing he has the same reaction as him.
Looking at what Terroriser was pointing at, Nogla could see a massive warp gate behind him while five white-clothed individuals patrolled around it.
"Damn, where are we exactly?" Nogla asked.
The middle-aged man only shook his head, "That would be classified, young man. The Guild won't allow anyone to find this Dungeon for their own reason."
"Uhh..."
Then, Terroriser said, "Well if it were me, I would just look at the surrounding geology and narrow it down to possible locations. I would say we're a hundred of kilometers north from the city. Based on these trees, it seems they were at that forest northwest from the Forest of Death."
Not too long ago, Brian sent out many surveillance drones around the lands the same as Basically did. So with it, it wouldn't be too hard to narrow places down according to the details of the surroundings.
"Hoho, you're a smart one eh?"
Laughing at Brian's comment, the middle-aged man stood up.
"That's true. It seems we need to erase you then."
"What!?"
"I'm kidding, hehe."
"Wow, never knew you can make jokes."
"Hey, I've always been a joker since I was 10."
"By the way sir, what should we call you?"
As the trio were walking, Nogla couldn't help asking him for his name.
"Me?"
Suddenly, his expression returned to the completely unrefined and crude look, when he said his next words, the two's hearts shivered for a split second, if Terroriser has a heart.
Puffing the cigarette in his mouth, the middle-aged man smirked.
"Just call me Bond"
The two snickered and Terroriser spoke, "As in James bond?"
"No, James Bond is my dog's name, my name is Secsual Bond."
""Hahahaha!""
Couldn't hold their laughs, Nogla and Terroriser laugh out loud.
"What's so funny?" With a questioning look, he asked.
"Don't know, but it sounds kinda sexual!" Terroriser replied with a laugh.
"Uh, okay."
After walking alongside Mr. Sexual Bonding, and chatting with him for a bit, Terroriser's scanning suddenly detected a tremendous energy coming from the distance while he is laughing with Nogla.
"Nogla, did you feel that?" Terroriser said as he pats Nogla's shoulder.
The latter nodded. "Yeah."
Noticing their reactions, Secsual smiled, "What you guys felt over there is the accumulated magic energy of all the monsters inside of the dungeon."
Staring ahead at the source of where the energy was coming from, the two couldn't help but feel slightly nervous.
Looking at them, Secsual grinned as he said. "Nervous?"
Nogla firstly replied. "I'd be lying if I said no..."
"Don't worry too much, although it is indeed scary for a first-timer like you folks, you'll get used to it eventually. "
Slightly pausing, he looked at the gate which was becoming clearer by the minute, and lightly said.
"Moreover, wait till you see an S-rank Gate."
"An S-rank Gate huh..." Terroriser mumbled with a hint of interest.
If the energy coming out from an F-rank Gate was this much, he wonders how much energy would come out from an S-rank gate, he guesses it could malfunction his system or worse fry his mechanical brain.
Just the thought sent shivers down his spine if he had one.
"You guys that I forgot your names were, let us pass."
Greeting two individuals clad in white masks and armor, Secsual handed them his card.
"..."
"..."
Ignoring him, the two guards took the card and scanned it.
After making sure everything was alright, both guards stepped to the side and made way for the three.
Taking a step forward, Terroriser scans show its energy measurements grew at a tremendous rate that is bursting out from the gate.
"I guess this is where we part ways, boys." Said Secsual, standing beside the guards.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Sexual Bond." Nogla thanked the man.
"Haha, Don't worry about it. Just doing my job. Take care of yourself as well Mr. Nogla, and the other guy..."
"Uh, the name is Bria—"
Cutting Brian off, Secsual warned. "Take care of yourself boys! Hope you don't get eaten by a Spider Knight, these things are annoying as fuck!"
"Noted!" Nodding his head, Nogla turned around and faced the dungeon.
"Wait! I didn't tell you my na—!"
Before Terroriser could say more, he was pulled by Nogla as he jumped into the dungeon.
———
As soon as Terroriser regained consciousness, he felt a leaf landing on top of his face.
"Pho!"
Blowing the leaf out from his face, Terroriser lifted his upper body and looked at his surroundings.
His in some kind of red forest, the atmosphere seemed very weird as he could see the rocky ceiling on the very top, and also an orange run floated on top. Terroriser got this RWBY vibe from this place with a familiar scene he knew, but instead has a ceiling.
[IMAGES]
The ground beneath him was full of cracks, and signs of skirmishes could be seen everywhere in the surroundings. Evidently showing that battles had occurred in this place.
At the very corner of his sight, he could see Nogla laying down who just recently woke up.
"You okay, man?"
"Yup, I think we're definitely inside a dunge— blurgh!"
For the third time, Nogla threw up again. Really, Nogla had some teleportation issues.
Putting his attention somewhere, Terroriser thought of something, so he uses his cyborg abilities, scanning everything 2 kilometers around them.
"Hm, just like its description, there really is no source of water nor food here." Terroriser said as he looked at the red trees and plant life.
Unlike the original trees and plants, these plant life in this dungeon have completely different properties compared to them. Literally there are no fruits or any edible you can find in this forest, even water sources. Even though the Trees and Plant Life need water to survive, the ones in the dungeon seem they don't need one.
Aside from monsters, who don't need to eat or drink, the only other living beings Brian detected were the small insects that hid throughout the red forest.
"Come on, Nogla, we should check our supplies before we move out."
Taking a moment so that Brian scans the whole abnormal environment, Terroriser told Nogla to quickly check his equipment. For a few moments of scanning, Terroriser then does the same.
"What else... hmm, I think that's it."
Seeing that they didn't have anything missing, the two completely stood up and decided to venture deeper into the dungeon.
As they were about to enter the red forest, Nogla excitedly said. "Alright, to our very first dungeon!"
