Dungeon Exploration Part 3

Jessica and Liang Ri finds out what is inside the treasure chest. It contains red vials. "These are health potions. Drinking them will heal your wounds." said Jessica. Liang Ri seems to be amazed. "Can this cure any illness then?" she politely asked. Jessica shakes her head and explained why it can't. The health potions only heal "Wounds".

"I had alot in my inventory so you should take some, Liang Ri." said Jessica as she hand out the health potions. "I am obliged to accept these treasures." said Liang Ri gratefully. They continued their exploration.

On the way, they encountered Ghouls. Liang Ri attacks and sliced of the head, but she flinched when the body attacks back. "Cursed being. I will cut them to pieces." she said then performs a technique. "Twin Fangs". A sword technique that slashes the enemies in two directions simultaneously, like a fang bite. This of course dismembered the ghoul until it unable to move.

No experience award. The being is still alive. "Can you hear that?" asked Liang Ri to Jessica. She nods in agreement. They can hear numerous amount of growling ahead. A wave of Ghouls is coming to them. "Liang Ri! Cover me!" Jessica shouted. They assumed party formation.

Liang Ri is attacking the enemy and keeping them away from Jessica. Jessica tried to use Rock Burst but stopped when she thinks about it. She might hit Liang Ri at the back. She cannot also use Thunderbolt. For now, she settled with Fireball and burn the Ghouls.

"Fireball!" she shouted then the ball of fire is launched in the air, landing on the Ghouls. It exploded and its fire burned them into ashes. It gave experience. Liang Ri is doing great until she got unexpectedly grabbed by the legs. She fell down and one of the Ghouls bit her arm. "Liang Ri hold on!" shouted Jessica as she uses the Rock Burst to knock back other Ghouls. Liang Ri broke free and retreated. "Forgive me. These cursed beings are way too many." said she feeling regret.

"Don't worry about it. Now I can use that spell." said Jessica, preparing for a spell. This time, she casted Thunderbolt. Its lightning chained from one Ghoul to another, and burned them from the inside. This gave enormous amount of experiences that is enough for Jessica to level up to level 34. She is very happy about the result.

This dungeon is more dangerous than Jessica anticipated. Of course, these undead are weak by themselves, but their numbers will overwhelm them. Jessica takes this opportunity to upgrade her Fireball to level 7. This increased it's damage output and it's burning time. But this also increased it's mana point cost. This is why Jessica prefers not to get new skills unless she needed to.

"There is something I want to ask of you." Liang Ri asked to Jessica. "What are you looking for exactly? This place will curse you and insanity will take over your mind." she added. Jessica cannot deny that this place gives evil atmosphere. "Well I want to become strong to live on." answered Jessica. Liang Ri feels a bit hostile towards Jessica.

"This Mortal is dangerous. Yet I need to cooperate with her in order to leave in this place. I have to becareful of the artifacts we will find." she thought in her mind. Liang Ri belongs to a Righteous Sect. The place they're in makes her tick and be suspicious to Jessica, the only person who could enter this place.

In the end, the trials continues. As they fight on together, their bond grew stronger and Liang Ri eventually got enlightenment in her journey, causing her to breakthrough. Her realm is now Early Soul Wandering Realm.
