Chapter 112 - Dungeon Exploration

Dungeons. A place that could be called a phenomenon as it appeared in a highly concentrated area of miasmic Mana that clumped together to form a Dungeon. The amount of natural. Miasmic Mana that gathered would determine what type of dungeon that would appear.

It is classified from F, E, D, C, B, A and S. F and E are not worth mentioning for their lack of challenge that only produces mostly Rank 1 monsters. A rank 1 monster is normally treated as a pest or wild animal rather than a monster.

D and C are for those who are well capable of fighting and have experience killing monsters. Dungeons do not only spawn monsters but also their natural environment making some adventure to be extra careful and prepared if they wish to venture to such a place.

"I would have picked a D class Dungeon, Doran's Aquatic Cavern."

After a day of staying within Talosheim, Ryuu and his harem took the chance to challenge the dungeon to help them grow stronger. Vandalieu along with Basdia and Vigaro, a male ghoul with long muscular arms that reach the ground despite being upright wielding a large battle axe.

"Hey like they say, the stronger the better! At least this gives me some thrill!!"

"Yeah, I heard there are creatures like dinosaurs here, right?"

Justine was prepared to use her [ Gilgamesh Gauntlet ] to slaughter some monsters as they headed deeper to the dungeon while Nezuko was more intrigued at the monster they would capture.

"This place is called Borkus' Sub-Dragon Savannah?"

"That's correct, it's named after one of the Titan Hero, Borkus hey where is he anyway?"

Trese looking around finds the place to be interesting since at first they came to the entrance that was made of ancient stone and as they descended find themselves at a completely different dimension having verdant tall grass and as the name suggests a savannah.

"How strong are the creatures inside this place?"(Trese)

"Strong, most of them are Rank 4 to 5. They have extremely thick hide with some having plates of armor."

Virgaro explains despite his thick and large muscles it is difficult fighting monsters since not only humans and any creature intellect have status and skills but also monsters.

Though, they don't have access to a job system besides Vida race, that mixture of monster and creature made within lambda.

To say that their strength base of their rank would be fatal as it could turn the tide if they have skills hidden. Though, it is mostly the Mid boss or the final boss that has powerful skills and has some intellect.

"You're rather excited, Ryuu?"( Kie )

Look at Ryuu who couldn't help but keep looking around and seemingly couldn't take his excitement. He was the one who has been eager to be here ever since they arrived.

"Come on, this place has Dinosaurs! I only saw them from television and always dream of having my own zoo!"

Ryuu acted like a child as he said since he's been a dinosaur and dragon fanatic ever since he had been a child.

"Fufufu you sound rather cute when you are enthusiastic!"

"I agree, he's acting like the children back home."

Kanae giggled watching Ryuu while Shinobu gave a faint smile, never expecting him to act this way since he is normally serious yet laid back.

"I mean We're the same, right Van? Dinosaur!"

"Of course! I have a dinosaur skeleton displayed."

"Damn I'm going to do that once I'm home!"

Ryuu was carrying Van on his shoulder as the two comedically scouting for any sign of dinosaur while Basdia and Vigaro turned towards Justine.

"The two seem to get along."( Basdia )

"Yeah, they share the same interest."

"Well, Ryuu always did want to visit a dinosaur museum but never had the chance."

Justine smiled proudly to see Ryuu finally fulfilling his long time dream of having a dinosaur pet. After walking several minutes, the group finally encountered their first monster.

"Whoa! Raptors!!"

Ryuu exclaimed observing the raptors running around the tall grass where Van quickly hovered down using telekinesis from a magic called No-Attribute magic. He conjured blood turning them into chains to bind the raptors in order to tame them.

"Amazing! As expected of an otherworlder, you easily pinned down a rank 4 monster!"( Vigaro )

"Are you going to tame it, Ryuu?"( Nezuko )

"Of course I will. Hold on."

The raptors were at least 5 and went closer to insert his mind into them letting them join the [ Hivemind ]. Ryuu instantly felt the change and addition to his body, opting him to smile and unbind the raptors who became tamed moving their way to Nezuko who excitedly rode the thing.

"Nezuko be careful!"

"Yahoo! Let's go!!"

"He tamed those monsters that easily? Hey Van does he have a cheat like ability you talking about."( Basdia )

"You can say that."

They continued their journey when Ryuu felt excited riding the dinosaur and planned to turn them into mutated creatures to increase their strength. Ironically, Ryuu fears birds when they're the closest descendant to Dinosaurs.

They encounter a few more raptors letting his lover get the feel to fight the monster. It would be a shame if they didn't level up their job.

Ryuu killed the raptors by controlling the pet raptors he had since they would also gain experience and those would also affect him but only 20%.

"It's rather hard to fight with when the terrain is like this."

Kanae commented as the raptors were doing ambush tactics due to the environment having tall grass that made it difficult to see them. Though, they could sense them didn't mean it was perfect.

She uses her magic to manipulate the grass to pierce through the raptors feeling the sensation of experience going through her body.

"More fighting, less talking!"

Trese cried out using her dagger to slaughter the raptors that leaped towards her and quickly used her shadow to produce a place that fortunately pierced the thick hide of the raptors.

"Go blue! Tear them to shreds! Flame bullet!"

Nezuko produced spinning bullet flames to shoot against the raptors and was fortunate to have [ Flame Mastery ] as it allowed her to control the flame and without it then the whole dungeon would set ablaze.

This shows that despite their power there are also some factors that could prevent them from going all out and should always be prepared.

"Heal! Greater Defense! Is this what real combat feels like? I'm glad I took training seriously."

Kie remains supporting them while fighting their enemies. She was able to easily maintain her casting without much problem and little Mana cost thanks to the [ Enchanter ] job that boosted her in those areas.

"Hahahah this is amazing!! Come!! Fist strike!"

Justine maniacally laughs, slaughtering the monster with her weapon rather easily, constantly pushing through and leveling at a rapid pace. It wouldn't take long for them to reach a hundred.

Though, the nature of their jobs required more experience than normal and known jobs.

"She's rather strong huh? Well we can't disappoint the newbie are we?"

"You took the words out of my mouth."

Basdia and Vigaro felt motivated to join in and compete after witnessing the display of power. They grasped their battle axes and sliced through the incoming Raptors.

Afterward, they went deeper into the dungeon and encountered large crocodiles that Ryuu happily added to his hive mind and saw how they rank up with his influences. He hoped to gain [ Guider ] a job that could influence and strengthen any followers.

"I can't wait how Onii-chan is going to react!"

"He would likely faint…"( Justine )

Nezuko was on top of one of the enormous crocodiles taking a liking to it as well.

"Anyway, how did you make them disappear?"

Trese asked after witnessing Ryuu absorb the Raptors and it was completely different than how he absorbed flesh.

"It's from the binder skills. You also have one then try extracting shadow from a defeated corpse."

"I can do that?"

"Can't hurt to try? Your magic reminds me of the shadow monarch. Try saying [ arise ] later."

"Shadow monarch?"

He happily explained the rest as they soon found themselves deeper and arrived at the 10 floor of the dungeon where they were greeted by a TRI horn monster.

"Isn't that just basically triceratops?"

"I had the same reaction?"

Ryuu and Van stared at the triceratops that had a behemoth of a body that was bigger than elephant producing electricity within it's horns viciously looking at them.
