Finding Maps

A world of dark blue with rays of light diminishing above, Noah laid on the back of a giant stingray. Its body flapped as it swam with speed.

[Blue Sea Ray]

B Class

Level 65

He hadn't tamed the stingray, he had just gotten on its back and laid there, it had ignored his existence and was going with its daily swim.

Normally monsters didn't let you get this close, Noah assumed it was a hidden effect of the Sea Serpent's Blessing. This was great since it made travelling a lot easier. He was faster than the stingray but he would need to use Ice Skating on the bottom of the ocean floor which had all types of obstacles in the way.

This was rather simple and direct, just a bit slower. Noah opened the Explorer Map. He was on his way to his 7th B Class dungeon.

Seeing he was close enough, he got up, "Thanks for the ride!" Running off he started shot in the direction of the Dungeon.

He saw the dungeon and was a little surprised it wasn't your typical cave. It was a sunken pirate ship. It was large, more so than cruisers on earth. Its structure was wooden, but of some special kind. There were windows placed sequentially on the side. It was broken and wrecked as pieces had fallen over and the sails were torn. There was still a black flag at its top with a skull and bones.

Noah landed on the deck, then entered the ship through an opening.

[White Shark]

B Class

Level 70

A large shark passed by it noticed Noah and swam at him. It seemed like the Sea Serpent's Blessing didn't work on dungeon monsters. Noah pulled out his two weapons.

He shot with his gun, then sprinted forward, his sword slashed up. He slid past and left another. Completely out speeding it he left a few more and killed it.

He then moved on through the dungeon to find the dungeon lord.

...

Exploring the sunken pirate ship, was different from other dungeons he had seen before. Normally dungeons expanded the space inside of them, almost all dungeons after D Class did that. There was also only one entrance and exit, however, this was different. It followed the shape of the ship from the outside, you could also break through the walls or windows and exit the dungeon.

He then went through the whole thing and entered the captain's room.

[Great White Shark] (Dungeon Lord)

B Class

Level 74

A dominating white shark with a deadly aura looked at Noah.

Noah moved forward, he used Death's Dance on himself. He then used the Critical Hit Eyes to find its weak points. He Flash Stepped around cutting it up.

The shark sent all types of water attacks that Noah easily dodged. The fight took ten minutes and the corruption energy had spread all through it.

Noah about to finish the fight activated Yin Yang Reinforcement. He raised his sword up when his sight suddenly caught of map stuck to a large broken table next to a wall.

[You have seen what should not be seen, you may not speak about it.]

The map then aged immediately and disintegrated.

Noah stunned let the shark get close. Phase Shift!

The Great White Shark passed straight through him. Now the shark was behind him he spun and had his last attack hit it from behind, killing it.

[You have Slain the Dungeon Lord!]

Items dropped. Noah thinking of the map that had disappeared, saw another Map among the items.

He picked it up.

[Pirate Treasure Map]

It was an old yellow colour with a red cross on it. He opened his Explorer Map to see where it was. Explorer Map worked perfectly, showed exactly how he was supposed to reach it.

'It's quite far,' Noah thought. As he estimated the time it would take to travel he noticed that his explorer map now showed tiny temple-like symbols of different colours.

There were four such temples, black, blue, light blue and green. If he made it so the map showed all four at once it would look exactly like the Map he saw on the table, the one that disintegrated.

"I can't speak about them so they should be secret buildings. That map gave me the location of four of them. This black temple isn't too far, let's investigate it first." Noah said looking at the map.

Secret Buildings were structures similar to the Secret Alchemist Hut he had found earlier, each one was valuable and contained some kind of treasure that would help you grow stronger. Compared to dungeons they were much more valuable.

Out of the dungeon he slid on the floor with his Ice Skates. He had the Explorer Map open as he followed along with it.

He reached the point. He didn't see a building around rather a large gaping hole on the bottom of the ocean.

Noah floated above the hole, he couldn't see the bottom, so he could tell it went deep into the earth.

He then swam down into it.

"The ocean is beautiful. I wish Alice could come with me." Noah thought as he swam down. He spun around getting a look at the walls around.

There were blue stones stuck in the wall releasing light. Seaweed and all types of ocean plants grew. There were Crystal corals forming trees of pink and red. All of these made the hole a deep water wonderland.

At one point, the beauty withered away and it was just getting darker, the water got murky. There were no more plants or life in general. The walls were dark and so was the water. Noah sensed the energy of a strong monster.

He finally saw the end of the cave. As he did he noticed a black tentacle move out slowly, it then shot in his direction!
