Meeting Izuriel and Salamanders Dungeon

As Xol entered the classroom he noticed it was 20 square meters in size, the flooring was made of wood and in the back of the room there was another door. There was no one in the room but Xol, could see various paintings decorating the walls. Above the door in the back there was a painting of a red phoenix, on the center of the left wall there was a painting of a white tiger and opposite to this there was a blue dragon. Taking some steps in he saw that there was also a painting above the door he enters depicting a black tortoise with a black snake intertwined.

'There no one in here. They explained that the teachers had an office connected to their classroom, maybe he is there' Xol thought as he walked and knocked on the door.

"Wait a moment." A voice came from inside. "Come in."

The office was roughly the same size than the classroom, there was a desk opposite to the door, with some papers and a terrarium over it. On the back of the desk there were many bookshelves. Just as Xol entered there was a bookshelf on each side. Just beside the bookshelves the wall was full of 1 meter tall drawer stacked side by the side starting from bookshelf until reaching the other side of the room, above the drawers there were many terrariums. On the drawers closer to the desk Xol could see 4 fish tanks filled with water with some amphibian lizards swimming inside, 2 on one side and 2 on the other. Above the drawers and terrariums there were many paintings. Finally, there was Young man around his 30s with black hair and beige scholar robes, seated on the desk writing something and glancing to a fish tanks on his left from time to time.

[Izuriel ??? LVL ???]

Xol was immediately drawn to the paintings in contrast to the ones in the other room, these paintings depicted many landscapes instead of simply animals. He could see mountains, ruins, waterfalls with a mystical feeling. There was even one that depicted a dragon coiling on a fortress and breathing fire to the heavens.

"WOOOOW, are these paintings of dungeons." Xol jumped seeing the paintings with some ruins, his eyes brimming with excitement.

"HAHAHA, you know I think you´re the first person that actually ask that questions as he enter my office. Usually they would ask me about my class or level, the organisms on the tanks, and some would just get straight to the point asking how to be my discipline." Izuriel said with a smile. "You´re an interesting fellow Xol, and yes these paintings are sights from dungeons."

"Did you paint these paintings!" Xol said as he shifted his sight from painting from painting.

"Yes. How about I struck you a deal seeing you have the basic qualifications for being my disciple, give me a few minutes to finish writing my current observations and as long as you keep quiet you can examine the paintings to its full extent, once I finish writing I´ll answer your questions. Also, the terrariums also depicts dungeons if you're so interested in dungeons." Izuriel said with a smile, it has been a long time since someone got an interest in his paintings.

"Deal."Xol quickly covered his mouth and nodded his head.

Izuriel laughed slightly at his reaction and continued writing. Xol quickly started examining the paintings to his full extent, he could see some writings on the walls of some of the ruins, found that one painting had a chest hidden in the ruins that were depicted. His smile and excitement kept growing as he appreciated each painting and kept growing even more when he scanned the terrariums and started picturing himself inside them exploring the dungeon they had. He tried to keep the most silent he could but from time to time he could hear some thuds from the other room as if someone tripped.

"WAH!" a shout sounded from the other room but Izuriel didn´t mind and just kept writing.

Finally finished writing, he placed his pen on the side and stretched and glanced at Xol "Okay, I finished ask away."

"How strong was this dragon?" Xol asked pointing at painting.

"150, it was boss monster of dungeon I embarked around 30 years ago." Izuriel replied.

"Did you really visit all these ruins, also what was on the chest" Xol asked his eyes full of excitement.

"Yes I did, the chest had an enchanted bow I used until receiving some grave injuries." Izuriel replied

Xol continued asking about the terrariums and paintings, Izuriel answered all his questions patiently. Having had his full Xol he exhaled a breath of fresh air and smiled.

"What do I have to do to become your disciple?" Xol asked his face full of anticipation, his image of Izuriel had grown so much and he wanted to be his discipline at any cost.

"Well you already have the basic qualifications and just need to pass some tests and accomplish a list of my petitions." Izuriel answered being prepared for this answer from the start.

"The first thing you need to do is going into the level 15 dungeon "Elemental Salamanders" of the academy and bring back the skin of 30 elemental salamanders, type doesn´t matter as long there 30 of them and you need to go solo. While you're in there I´ll write down the other things you need to accomplish. You can find the dungeon in the obelisk hall you took the first trial with the other dungeon I made for the academy."

"WHAT! You made the dungeon of the academy?"Xol asked bewildered, he remembered Izuriel made the trial token and that he needed his permission to take the crystals but he was not expecting he also made the dungeons.

"Un, I have dungeon creator as one of my sub jobs and made them to help the push the academy students to new heights" Izuriel explained with a smile.

"So cool, does the elemental salamanders have something to do with the lizards you have in the fish tanks" Xol pointed to the fish tanks in the room.

"With my axolotls? In a way yes as they are also salamanders but apart from it no., I need the skin to advance the research I´m currently undertaking on them." Izuriel replied shaking his head and the extended a hand "If you´re interested I could tell you more once you reurn."

"Un, okay I go right now and bring what teacher asked" Xol replied and turned and abruptly stop beside the door.

"Um, teacher why was there times I heard noises and shouts in the next room." Xol turned with a confused face and little fear on his eyes as he remembered those events seeing the door.

"Oh, that, I don't like meddling with students that don't have the basic qualifications, so I placed a formation that just sends them back outside the room once they advance half the room" Izuriel said with smirk on his face.

"How many sub jobs does teachers have?"Xol asked with a troubled face.

"How about I answer you after you come back" Izuriel stated.

"Un"

Xol quickly went to the obelisk room and soon found the obelisk of the elemental salamanders.

[Elemental Salamander Dungeon.

Level 10 -15 dungeon]

Xol placed his hand on the obelisk after using the observer skill and entered it.

He was in front of a mountain pass, leading to a rainforest surrounded by mountains. He quickly used Mana Sonar and detected two signals close by. He glanced to where he felt them but couldn´t see anything, he quickly retrieved his spear from his inventory, but saw a black liquid coming for him and quickly dodged to side. Landing he sent a Mana Bomb to where the liquid was shot.

*BOOM

As the blast dissipated, he saw two salamanders measuring 1.5 meters in length.

[Shadow Elemental Salamander LVL 12]

HP: 2,978/3,500

MP: 7,489/8,200

[Shadow Elemental Salamander LVL 12]

HP: 2,989/3,500

MP: 7,589/8,200

Both salamanders quickly started shooting Xol. Xol jumped toward his left and dodged both shots and returned fire with Mana Bullets. Landing two shots at the same salamander, he also summoned chains and bind them. He made sure they couldn´t continue shooing and used this time to take out a spear from his inventory. Advancing toward the one with the least health he started stabbing it. Just as he finished this he moved to the second one, but the salamander managed to slip off the chains and started retreating the area.

Xol quickly gave chase but the salamander severed his tail, Xol ignored this and still dashed. Taking a step forward the tail suddenly started squirming and released a black fog, he quickly jumped toward his back, but he still made some contact with the fog.

Feeling pain from it he glanced at his HP and saw he took 70 damage in corrosive damage. Seeingg the expanding fog, Xol decide to return to gather the loot from the first salamander while the fog dissipated.

[Acquired the following items:

Shadow Elemental Salamander Skin X1

Shadow Elemental Salamander Bones X3

Mana Crystal X2]

´So shadow elemental ones can hide and their release a corrosive fog as a lifesaving skill while retreating. I also need to be fast before they squirm out of the chains.' Xol analyzed the information he got from combat.

'I also need to stay on guard against the other elements, since they could have different skills or not. ´

After the fog dissipated, he saw the tail was still there, he got close cautiously and poked with the spear seeing no reaction, he tried collecting it.

[Acquired the following items:

Shadow Elemental Salamander Tail X1]

´Seems I can also collect their tails if they cut them out to flee.'

Advancing forward he soon got a better glimpse of the rainforest, opposite from where he was, he could see a massive tree in the distance, he could see some mountains where tall enough to even have snowy peaks.

"Lets the hunt begins" Xol said as he started moving forward.
