[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor - Chapter 474 – Diamond’s story – Ruby King – Part 10.
<<Honestly speaking, things weren’t looking good for us.>>
<<We tried avoiding fight as much as possible while making monsters behind us "stuck", in order to somewhat hide our tracks while also hindering the enemy pursuers.>>
<<However, sometimes we ended up reaching the dead ends and needed to turn back... This is a labyrinth type dungeon alright.>>
<<But more annoying part about this was not the fact that we needed to get monsters again and again, including some monsters on some paths which we already met, but sometimes we encountered paths which contained which we couldn’t really "avoid" or "go past them".... So, we had to fight.>>
<<The first servant golems didn’t really had any ability. They were giant humanoid statues which did had speed, defense and offence.>>
<<But the second servants? Well, they do have ability to fire a beams from their fists.>> 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
<<It seems they can only fire 2 beams and then the attack enters long cooldown.>>
<<Honestly speaking... The second servant may look only bit tougher, but still being easy.... But the problem was that all other physical abilities got also increased, making them much harder opponents.>>
<<In short, if there was few of them in the same path, we had no choice but to fight them.>>
<<...>>
<<We ran at the full speed.>>
<<We used up potions and other expendable items to keep up the speed while also recovering.>>
<<And... Fortunately or not?>>
<<We have found the stairs.>>
<<We instantly took them down.... But it didn’t led to the end, but instead the second floor.>>
<<And to make things even worse.... My guild members got wiped.>>
<<All of them went offline.>>
<<And that meant one thing.>>
<<The Builder guild had finally entered the dungeon.>>
<<Now.... It is really a race... And we are at the disadvantage.>>
<<The Builder Guild can split up their forces in order to scout out the dungeon way better... Meaning that the odds of them finding the stairs leading to the second floor are way higher.... Fuck.>>
<<We are really slowly running out of time.>>
<<Even worse, we still didn’t found the pattern.>>
<<There is no such thing as "strong monsters’ presence will point to the goal" or "hidden pattern" or "hidden markings", no.>>
<<There is still nothing like that.... And that straight up means this dungeons have straight up no leads.... And we have to brute force through everything in order to possible reach end... Or possible another set of stairs.>>
<<Either way.... We were not prepared for going duo from the get go.>>
<<We did packed up a lot of stuff into our inventory, since we wanted to beat the dungeon the first try, even if it means using up a lot of extremely valuable single use items... But right now, we are bit fucked.>>
<<We need to rush it, but the more reckless we are, the more items we will use up.>>
<<And if we run out of items.... Things will end up badly for us.>>
<<But at the same time, if these bastards not only catch up to us, but also overtake the lead, then this is straight up game over.>>
<<Specifically Doremi.>>
<<I can’t beat her.>>
<<And she still has her own guild.... Meaning she will be able to get easily healed and repaired... Which in turn would mean we would had to probably face her at full power.>>
<<Doremi is straight up death sentence right now for either of us.>>
<<And if just one of us dies.... Well, then it is also a game over.>>
<<Barge and I need each other right now... And without either presence, the chances of succeeding are nonexistence.>>
<<...>>
<<So we ran once again.>>
<<We began exploring the second floor of the labyrinth.... And like before, we were able to sometimes dodge or go past some group of monsters... However, the number of the stronger monster groups we had encountered started slowly increasing.... Not only that, we started seeing this guy.
[Ruby King Servant – Third Servant]
<<Appearance wise, he had more black and white markings covering his body, while also having some parts of his body being only ruby.>>
<<Overall? That guy is a beast.>>
<<His speed, defense and offence are bigger compare to the second servant.>>
<<And that guy also posses the same ability as the second servant... However, it wasn’t all.>>
<<That guy also possessed ability which straight up causes his fist to glow red before then punching something, causing an AOE shockwave attack.>>
<<And it wasn’t just some freaking small AOE attack either.... Fuck me.>>
<<We tried avoiding taking paths with this guy being present, but sometimes we just straight up had no choice but to take his path.>>
<<Obviously that meant fighting, which did took us sometime to take down the fucker....>>
<<...>>
<<So far, we haven’t had any encountered or heard any sounds of fighting coming from behind us... Maybe we are getting lucky?>>
<<...>>
<<No. We can’t slow down our pace.>>
<<We are only in this position because we are rushing it.>>
<<We are trying to preserve as many useable items as possible.... But still, we are getting fucked.>>
<<We are forced to fight way more often.... And that leaves another problem.>>
<<Tracks.>>
<<I don’t know how long it takes for the monsters to respawn.... But if it does takes sometime to respawn, then each empty corridor straight up just leaves tracks for these bastards to fallow.>>
<<....>>
<<We continued forward.>>
<<And.... We found the stairs....>>
<<Results?>>
<<Third fucking floor.>>
<<There is a fucking THIRD fucking floor here.>>
<<We already fucking been here, wondering in this fucking labyrinth for hours! Even though we were rushing it!>>
<<And now the freaking third floor?!>>
<<...>>
<<And if there is something like the fourth servant version of those golems.... Then we will be straight up having boss fights nonstop.>>
<<Beating the first floor took us about half an hour.... But the second floor took us more than hour to beat... Maybe even hour and half.>>
<<The second floor not only had way more monsters, but it was by itself the second floor was way bigger compare to the first floor.>>
<<And by this pattern.... The third floor will have the same changes.... Fuck.>>
<<.... As soon as he rested up, we once again began investigating the floor... And from the get go, we realized that the difficulty of this floor skyrocket.>>
<<Not only the levels of each golem type increased, but also encountered this fucker.
[Ruby King Servant – Fourth Servant]
<<This guy.... Half of its body was just ruby and the markings were fully covering non ruby parts.>>
<<We haven’t fought this guy yet, since we decided to avoid him.... But there is a thing.>>
<<It was always alone.>>
<<We are seeing groups consisting of several different golems, which sometimes included third servants.... But so far? Only the fourth servant only appeared ever alone.>>
<<Not only that, it also posses’ detection ability.>>
<<My [Cloak Of The Thief Queen] has a powerful stealth ability, which can somewhat hide a non-rouge build user like me.... But even so, that thing was able to detect me, alongside Barge who did had rouge build on herself.>>
<<God fucking dammit... This is now way more annoying.>>
<<Before we could at least sneak a peak regarding if the path behind the monster was a dead end or not... But with that guy? We can’t take a look without fighting him.>>
<<God fucking dammit.... That meant moving forward is even slower now.>>
"..."
"Say... Do you think we can really beat this place?" – asked Barge as she and Diamond had a short rest while using recovery items.
"..."
"Honestly speaking... The odds of us beating this place are keep dropping by each floor." – said Diamond.
"We already been on the third floor for some time.... And I wouldn’t be surprised if the Builders had already beaten the second floor."
"This floor isn’t about being sneaky or playing smart."
"It is about rough power here to destroy everything in your path."
"We maybe have power, but with just two of us? We will just exhaust ourselves extremely quickly."
"Yeah... Honestly, my inventory is starting to have a straight up ’hole’, if you get what I mean." – said Barge.
"We still have this thing." – said Barge as she took out a crown like item from her inventory.
[The Mad Elemental King Crown – Legendary]
"Well... We may not have the [Mad Elemental Mage] class to use this item full power.... But still, we can use this skill second ability to spawn mad elementals." – said Barge.
"This will definitely stop the Builders in place for a moment... But obviously with this thing cooldown... We will be only able to use it once."
"Yeah... But do we use it right on the spot when we encounter them? Or we try to sabotage them?" – said Diamond.
"We could maybe try having monsters get them, maybe we can somewhat make them leave their respective paths and just go after them?"
"The biggest danger is still Doremi."
"We need to-"
"!"
"SHHH!" – Barge suddenly covered Diamond’s mouth.
"..."
"..."
"Shit..." – said Barge with nervous expression.
"I’m hearing stuff."
"These bastards.... They are already here."
