Angry Dungeon.
The hole that the Worm Well made its way from was akin to a gateway from hell. The number of monsters that crawled up from there was quite frankly ridiculous.
I have never seen the monsters working together so much regardless of species. Multiple WormWells were used as a way of transport with their massive bodies, the other monsters would take hold on to some of their scale-like exoskeletons and hang on for dear life.
[LizardMan Elite-Lvl4]
HP: 1600
MP: -
They were the stronger version of Lizardman. Their scales were as strong as armor and deep blue in color, the weapons they carried were of much better use.
[Spartoi- Lvl4]
HP: 2100
MP: -
The Spartoi was a skeletal monster. Yet, it moved nowhere near as a skeleton monster should. It had a solid all-rounder foundation going on. Strong, Fast, and nimble. What made them hard to deal with was the weapons they spawned with, maces, swords, and lances. They had rather good technique on them, fighting in a way similar to adventures and not monsters.
But, I had just the tool to deal with undead monsters. Holy magic was their ultimate archnemesis.
[Barbarian-Lvl4]
HP: 1800
MP: -
The Barbarians on the other hand were two-meter tall monsters that resembled Minotaurs. Other than the fact they were completely in a different league. They looked quite sinister.
These were just three of the many monster species that caught my attention at that time.
My legs started to lose their footing, the ground started breaking and splitting to make way for the incoming Stampede of the monsters focusing entirely on me.
There must have been about three hundred heads mixed in and between. The entire floor was soon to be filled by that number and possibly even more.
It was utterly chilling, their eyes glowing in fury following my every move. It seemed personal somehow. I was almost tempted to just teleport out of here and save myself this encounter.
'No, you won't Ken. You need to get stronger, remember? You just had it easy before.' I squeezed my hands until my knuckles turned white.
Something I didn't know back then was if you looked closely, you could spot a big wide toothy smile gradually appearing on my figure.
My heart was pumping out more blood than ever, my mind running faster than ever. My senses are as sharp as they could be.
I was in optimal condition.
''Let's fucking go!!'' I shouted encouraging myself.
That seemed to work as the battle horn to the upcoming fight.
The Stampede came crashing down on me like a wave, I had to address that somehow. Yet, they had complete disregard for their life as usual. All manners of blockages would get run through, firewalls, wind walls... The few first monsters would knowingly sacrifice themselves and let the others move. The remaining monsters would get scorched or slashed up a bit at best.
*Swish* I moved my head to the right.
I touched my cheek and looked down to see blood on the tip of my finger. I could almost see a triumphant mocking smile on the Spartoi that threw that spear.
No matter how many I stabbed, I eviscerated, decapitated, or blew up. There would always be another monster behind it. The waves were endless. It was regenerating faster than I was dealing with them.
'Why the actual fuck is the dungeon this pissed?!' I shouted in my head as I was looked at the scene in front of me.
I began to slowly but surely lose ground in this battle. The overwhelming number of ever-increasing monsters made sure of that, and the monsters were coming at me based on what thing I used, magic or swordsmanship.
The situation is starting to look desperate. There was a limit to how much I can regenerate.
I grabbed a couple of MP potions back from my starter pack.
[MP Recovery Potion]
Fully restores the MP of the user.
I uncorked one of them and held three more in my mouth to be opened with my teeth. I was constantly getting hit and killing monsters while this was happening.
The finished product was a dense gravity-condensed sphere filled with extremely high-pressure steam and rock splinters mixed on the outside layer covered by a wind barrier. It took at least 4-5 times my MP reserves to make this beauty.
I had sweat running down my whole body while creating it. One small mistake, and I would turn into space dust along with the monsters that wanted to kill me.
My face must have had the most maniacal smile. I flipped the horde of monsters surrounding me '' Here, catch.'' I threw the mini supernova at some skeleton.
I could see him slash it as I nopped the fuck out of the dungeon.
I grinned even further sensing the vibrations coming through.
-------
(3RD POV)
It was a sunny, beautiful day. The people of Orario were blissfully unaware of the concoction Ken was brewing up deep inside the dungeon.
Abruptly, however. Some vibrations were felt by the people with keener senses. The vibrations gradually grew to the point where the stalls started shaking.
'Oh! It was just an earthquake.' The general populace thought.
Although a select few were not so gullible about the reason for this predicament. Some investigations were planned to be made. Too bad they would not be able to find anything.
''Hahaha, shit that was close.'' said a silver-haired man, wearing bloodied scrap for armor. The sword on his waist decorated with dried-up blood. He looked like someone who just escaped death.
''Ken. What are you doing here? You can't just pop up whenever you feel like it.'' Said a red-haired lady strictly, she was in the middle of paperwork evidenced by the staggering amount of documents lined up on her desk.
''My bad, my bad.'' the man said sounding not that apologetic.
''So what did you do this time Ken?'' Said the red-head directly, looking in front of her as she sighed grabbing her nose when she took a look at the current state of the man.
''Me? No way, come on. What can I do?'' All the man got as a response was an eye roll. ''Well, maybe WE can do something now?''
The man headed slowly to the only other occupant of the room, a perverse smile on his face.
