Stella immediately recognized the monster that stepped out of the portal it was an enderman the tall pitch black purple-eyed creature was hard to mistake as anything else. She instantly averted her gaze from the enderman's body making sure not to look at its head.

She knew that the body of an enderman produced pearls that would allow for teleportation but killing an enderman was a huge task. She decided it was worth the risk as the pearls could open up new ideas for research.

Stella ordered her golems to surround the enderman while she would come up behind it. The enderman was just staring at the golems not moving, she quickly ordered all the golems to attack preparing her hammer to strike after it was distracted.

The enderman blurred as it grabbed 2 of them golems by the heads slamming them into the ground crushing their heads. Tank and Melee struck at the enderman aiming for its legs the enderman countered by dodging Melee and kicking Tank aside, Ranger shot an arrow at it only for the enderman to catch the arrow.

Stella quickly moved in aiming to shatter its legs with her hammer managing to connect a hit hearing a loud crunch as the bones in the legs shattered as the leg bent at an unnatural angle before falling limply.

The enderman quickly turned its head and roared it then swung at her leg ripping it clean off. Stella quickly screamed out in pain before tears formed in her eyes, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. She quickly grabbed her leg and rolled to the side dodging another blow from the enderman.

She held her leg up to where it was ripped off and activated the taint forcing it to heal the wound, after another dodge she ordered the golems to swarm it hoping it would buy her some time. Most of the golems were batted off into a wall or floor, but a few managed to get an attack in causing minor damage.

Stella had reattached her limb and a gross purple scar was left in its place, she quickly got up and pulled out some alumentum, and threw it at the enderman, while picking up her hammer. The enderman quickly teleported out of the blast zone before rushing at Stella.

"Fuck, even with a fucked up leg you can still move that fast!"Stella exclaimed while dodging a swipe aimed at her throat

She quickly swung upwards at the arm that tried to rip her throat out, as it connected the arm was torn out of its socket with the enderman roaring again. The enderman swung and clawed at Stella while she tried to dodge and block the attacks, she was able to avoid most attacks but a few got through giving her some nasty wounds.

Stella watched as the enderman disappeared, as she turned to look behind her she was sent flying into the portal. As she gathered her bearing using the taint to heal up her injures she saw the enderman run through the portal lunging at her.

She quickly swung her hammer at its head hoping to kill it, the enderman was thrown into one of the red rock walls. Stella saw that it got back up even with its head half caved in and bent at an angle that should be fatal.

She quickly pulled out her wand and launched a bolt of ice at the monster while dashing towards the monster. The enderman quickly dodged out of the way and rushed at Stella, as they got closer Stella went for an uppercut with the hammer while the enderman tried to bite her.

Stella got the hit in first throwing the enderman upwards in a spin, she watched as the enderman tried to get back up but collapsed shortly after.

"You are one tough monster."Stella said

She went over towards the body and saw that it didn't turn to dust like the other monsters in the dungeon before realizing that she wasn't in the dungeon, she was in the nether. Stella quickly went through the portal and grabbed some jars that she had brought with her and moved back to the enderman.

She quickly dissected the monster taking samples of its body, but most importantly she pulled the pearls out of its body, 2 greenish-blue pearls sat in her hand she quickly finished up and looked around the portal area.

The portal ended up on the top of a cliff overlooking a red forest with a sea of lava not too far off in the distance. The sight was pretty, with the sea of magma and the glowstone overhead the red forest looked pretty, the heat, however, was almost unbearable.

Stella brought some golems through and had them guard the portal on both sides, using a few golems to mine she dug out some of the netherrack and made a small wall around the portal to hide it from other monsters.

She headed back to the dungeon and decided that she would need better gear for exploring the nether. While she headed back to the surface she studied the enderpearls, they had an aspect that she only saw in the stuff that the eldrich monster dropped back during the monster fariae.

She quickly made her way to the Manor and up to Lokis office to tell her the news of the nether now that it was open, she wasn't quite sure whether to tell Loki or not but decided that she should because it was related to the dungeon.
