Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 228 Dungeon Master: Arachnie

[OP: ]

In every special structure of the Worldline, there were times when the dungeon is locked after a participant enters it. The dimensional dungeons are the main kind of dungeon that show this kind of behaviour.

Some tasks are given to the participants of the dungeon and only after completing at least all of the given tasks can they get out of the place if they don't have an Escape crystal that was worth around 10,000 Oz.

This dungeon was also the same and had tasks. Something that the 'players' in their game would have called 'quests' of the dungeon.

However, the quests do not exist for them who could not be categorised as players but instead a part of this world.

Thus, these dungeon tasks were only dungeon tasks for them. Something they would complete naturally since they were here.

But, still, the main reason they were here was something else. Something that would have been 'hidden' sub-quests for the players in this dungeon with special rewards.

"Wow, isn't this quite a fancy door for a normal insect queen?" 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

For them, these hidden tasks were special opportunities to obtain a member for their group, a member for their party, their next authority, as well as sole ownership of a direct pathway leading to a completely different world than they lived in.

A world that was different from the four continents and the dimensions that existed in their world.

[ "Honourable master. The title of a King or Queen isn't given to just anyone, you know, right? The one behind this door is a Queen so, according to the lowly standards of this world, she would at least be strong enough that you would have to struggle against it a little." ]

It was a special place that was different from here, and better from this little ugly world as well. That was the main reason they had chosen this place as their debut point into the political world of their own world.

"Hehe, it's cute when you address me so respectfully… but yes, the titles of Kings and Queens are special. Especially the ones given by the Worldline directly.

Right, Raz dear?"

<Hmmm? Nya? I am busy, El. Don't talk to me.>

The two of them were standing before the gates of the dungeon's boss, the master of the land they were standing on, some of the few <S> ranked royal creatures currently present in their world.

Their two familiars were accompanying them, and so was their dimensional merchant that was busy setting up the device for the stream that was being broadcasted in real time.

The gates, made of a unique metal with a strange purple glow to it, had attractive carvings all over it, something that certainly did not seem like work of some demonic beasts of low intelligence like these creatures.

It was attractive, and El liked it quite a bit from her artistic perspective. However, that only led her to have these doors for herself.

"Let's go in, everyone~?"

The two of them had no worries about this raid even though the opponent was virtually an impossible opponent to win against in their current levels.

However, they had nothing to worry about since they had their trusted companions, their amazing familiars with them.

They would take care of the things if the two fell behind in any aspect, and if the situation got worse, they had the Escape crystals anyway.

[You have entered the main chamber of the master of the <D> rank dimensional dungeon Devilant Colony!]

[The dungeon master: Arachnie is glaring at you with resentment!]

[Warning!]

[The opponent possesses a higher status than the challengers! The demonic energy in the surroundings makes it difficult to control yourself! The presence of the master of the dungeon is unbearable!]

[Running a status condition check…]

[Ding!]

[You have resisted with stronger Authorities.]

[Ding!]

[The opponent is judged to be stronger than you.]

Their crown skills were upgraded now so, they felt even stronger boost while standing before this strong opponent then they usually do when facing a opponent of a higher overall power level than themselves.

"This is crazy."

"El, would you mind if I take the first hit?"

"Hmmm? You wanna go first? Sure, go ahead."

[ "You filthy demons! You killed my children! You bastards! You are not leaving out of here alive!" ]

The dungeon boss was not a humanoid like the other creatures of this dungeon. She looked like a spider even though she was an ant. A very, very, very big, ugly and powerful spider that had twelve legs, a disgustingly large and monstrous mouth, six big eyes as black as the darkness of the room they were currently present in, with spider web like strange fungus covering every corner of this place along with unique looking shiny eggs stuck on them.

She was the opposite of how actual Queen ranked monsters usually look, but her ugliness just made them want to kill this bitch even more.

"KHYYYYYYYYYYA!"

[[ Tsk. Why is that old lady screaming? She should just stay quite and accept her inevitable doom. ]]

[ "That's enough Cary. Let's go over there. You too Raz." ]

<Nyaaaaa.>

============

The enemy was strong and different from her size, the queen was very nimble with her limb movements.

She used her long spider-like legs as if they were a whip and attacked first, which the two of them obviously avoided. And, after the first attack, El had went to a corner, leaving the creature and Lucy by themselves.

[ "You lose you give me a wish." ]

[ "I am not fighting this creature to win, ma'am. I wanna test the new strengths. You can do the same after I am done." ]

The way the ant queen attacked was dangerous and even the solid grounds were getting crushed by the great attacks of her simple looking whip attacks.

She was attacking the bastards that killed all her children, the bastards that took everything away from her, the ones that destroyed their everything, the ones that were so shamelessly standing before her as if she was nothing.

These young fuckers couldn't possibly fathom just how she, a mother of those hundreds of thousands they had killed, was feeling at the moment.

She resented them, they were demons more demonic than devils like them.

She couldn't, she wouldn't possibly forgive these bastards for what they had done to her and her family.

They had to die and they would die the same way they had slaughtered her family.

-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiiiish! Swiiiiiiiish!

She was attacking the little bastard, she was attacking with all the strength she had, however, the eel like slippery bastard was slipping away from her like her attacks meant nothing for him at all.

[ "El…" ]

[ "You can take down that thing on your own if you try a little harder, was what you wanted to say, right? I know. I damn tell she is weaker than we knew." ]

[[ No no. One knows for a fact that the dungeon master is a strong opponent and with all the debuffs and the restrictions of this dungeon, even the person master calls Association president would not be able to contend against the creature so easily.

It is all thanks to master and El's unique Zero skills that negates almost all of the dungeon's restrictions and the absurdly high authority competition percentage the two of you have.

One couldn't express one's astonishment at this~! ]]

[ "I can tell you wanna lock us up in your test tubes and analyse our skills Anna, but that can wait. I also want to do that, but let's do it after we are done with this." ]

Anna was a evercurious being. El prefered someone enthusiastic like her over a boring, fat, lazy, and useless dragon.

[ "Alright. I am going to use the skills now." ]

He had been dodging all the attacks from the creature all this time and it was frustrating for a being that was a royal, and master of this entire land.

She did not like how a small human male was using her as a toy, and was getting enraged.

However, he was finally going to attack now.

"Skill."

And, he was obviously going to try using the new ability of their skill…

-Swiiiiish!

"[Red crown]."

He dodged another one of her attacks which contained a powerful poison this time, and right after he activated his skill, a sudden burst of red light covered the entire room they were in.

-Oooooooooooong!

A simple translucent outline of a vague headpiece resembling a royal crown manifested on his head as the whole air around him changed completely.

[ "H-hun? What trickery are you playing human?! Just dieeeeeeee!" ]

The light quickly vanished so, the boss monster was fine and started attacking quickly once again, and he dodged it just like previously.

-Ooooooooong!

However, different from before, she couldn't see where he had gone… he just vanished from the place he was standing.

-Swiiiiiish…

There was a silence for a moment, as if the time had stopped for all the ones present in that chamber…

"Lowly insect."

However, out of nowhere, a powerful voice eachosed all around the place, and, the person that had disappeared from before her, reappeared right before her eyes with a white sword shining with a blood red Aura so strong it seemed like the sun, while at the same time so cold that one might feel their souls freezing from this fire like Aura.

"[Crimson sword]."

The dungeon boss Arachnie, was stunned by the unexpected appearance of this little bastard right before her face, and, the others including every single person watching their stream, were stunned by this.

Raz was currently the strongest person present in that place, and even he had failed to properly perceive his movements, there was no way someone else would be able to do this then.

"[Crimson Sword]."

They could see he was floating in the air, and, from the way his Aura was burning, it seemed like his strengths had increased a lot after he used his skill.

And, since the skill's new ability erased the skill cooldowns, he could use the powerful skills without their long cooldowns.

"[Crimson sword]."

They could see his eyes, which looked so cold even El had never seen him like that.

It was as if he was not himself in the first place, and, the way he used his skill without stopping, ruthlessly, without caring about the creature and it's actions towards El and the others, he just used his skill and continued slashing at the creature…

[Crimson sword].

[Crimson sword].

[Crimson sword].

And, he only stopped when nothing but a gruesome mess of blood and organs were left of the 'master' of this dungeon.

[ "Lucy…?" ]

< The fuck, nya?>

El was stunned, Raz and Cary were as well however, the most stunned person among them was his Anna.

[[ Master… no. Is that master? ]]

She could not believe what he had just done. None of them could. Not even the viewers and the spectators currently looking over them.

They could not understand a thing that had just happened.

"H-hmmm? What did I just…?"

But still, the shock that Lucy had after the illusion of red crown on his head had disappeared, and the unearthly scene before him at the moment, was incomprehensible for him.

He wanted to test his powers but, even he were to defeat this creature, he would not do something so heinous to it.

A few attacks to precise places was more than enough to deal with it.

And, in the first place, the creature was no weak being. Just for one attack to pass the hard exoskeleton, he would have had to use strong concentrated attacks in some specific points.

She was fast and her attacks were nimble so she was certainly a strong being with near impenetrable defiance, but, what was this…?

How did she end up like that?

He questioned, even though he knew the answers to those questions already. Even though he was the very cause that resulted in this mess.

[[ Master… ]]

His eyes were wide open, he was stunned, his heart was beating wildly, he was covered in sweat… he did not feel any great weakness in his body, and this just made things even more miserable for him.

"El… what did I…"

He was a good person. He wouldn't want to do something like this to any creature if he ever had the option to do so. And in this case, turning a useful <S> rank creature's body into something so wasteful was the last thing he wanted.

"I… I…"

He was having a mental breakdown, but his skill that had caused him to do that, was again causing him to just ignore all that.

His mind was telling him that it was just a useless bug, just another any that was there to be cursed under their feet.

However, that wasn't what he was like.

His heart knew what he was and was reminding him of his true self.

And, this entire contradicting emotional processes were causing a great conflict inside him.

A conflict he knew he had to solve himself.

"Oy, Lucy bastard. You ok?"

"El…"

He didn't know if he was the one that did that to the creature or the skill forced him to do it yet.

But he did not like how the whole fight ended.

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

But, the spectators that had watched the whole show had a completely different opinion of this cool fight.
