Chapter 12[Volume 2]
Jon looked at the white room, he had reached level 19 with two skill points. Ned looked at him as he walked to the computer, Ned was part of his team so when one leveled up, the two of them would appear in the white room, Jon pressed exit, he looked at the giant scorpion that appeared in front of him, they had faced several already, this time Jon only went with his family, no support.
They were in the last dungeon of Tyria, after this there was only the last dungeon of Valyria left.
Arya cast her Life Absorption on the animal and it moaned in pain as it lost health. Ned lunged at the animal's tail, tearing it apart.
He reached the white room. He got level 13 with 3 skill points before leaving. Ned saw Sansa come up behind him and cast her regeneration on him.
The man nodded and watched as Arya impaled the scorpion with a blade through its eye, then flipped over to avoid a pincer.
The girl arrived at the white room. She reached level 8 with 1 skill point, and left the room.
Jon was thrown back by a blow from the pincer and Sansa used full heal on him, reaching the white room. And She went up to level 8 with two skill points.
Jon attacked one of the beast's legs with his ice aura, the beast fell and Ned finished it off.
The boy steeled himself and saw that there were ten medals. He had explained to the girls that they were medals that were exchanged for skills at higher levels. He also explained to them about the dungeons and there were two left to have all of Valyria.
Ned supported the plan to wipe them out, because, having a stronghold in Essos, far from Westeros, if worst came to worst, Valyria in all its splendor could easily support more than half of all the northerners.
They continued on their way, the dungeon had enormous desert beasts, they had already fought with half a dozen giant scorpions, two snakes and a dozen vultures.
The old man sighed as he saw that they were approaching an area where the main monster seemed to be, if they defeated it, they would get past the dungeon.
It was a kind of pyramid and there was someone waiting for them inside.
Ned looked and saw a tall person, someone with serious injuries, he could tell because there were white bandages covering his entire body.
They approached and stood on guard, Ned and Jon in front, Arya and Sansa behind.
Ghost growled and Jon tensed, the others didn't need to understand Ghost like Jon did to understand that he was an enemy, Ned looked closely and the bandaged man had blood red eyes.
He raised his hands and a swarm of beetles appeared in the sands and attacked them.
[T/N: MUMMMYYYY!!!!!]
Sansa let out a scream as she saw the beetles approaching.
Jon struck the ground with his sword, and an icy breeze struck the beetles and froze a couple.
Ned drew his sword and also summoned his elemental aura and the sword seemed to throw out electric shocks.
The bandaged man looked on with interest and raised his hand again, but Ghost lunged at him and bit his arm.
The wolf howled and backed away.
"Heal him Sansa" Jon said.
The girl approached the wolf and used her full heal, he seemed to be better.
"It seems the boss won't be easy," Ned said.
"He's not the boss, he's some kind of guardian, the boss must be in the pyramid" Jon said.
Ned raised an eyebrow.
"It seems we can't touch it without being harmed," Arya told them.
"Direct attacks don't work then" said Jon.
Jon ran towards the bandaged man and launched an attack on the ground with all his strength. Ice was created and was thrown towards the bandaged man who received dozens of wounds from the pieces of ice.
He fell to the ground.
Ned followed suit and punched the ground, a bolt of electricity shooting out and hitting the being, causing it to let out an inhuman howl.
Arya meanwhile cast her Life Absorption on it, the being groaned but Arya was not attacked by it.
Sansa remained impartial throughout, waiting for the moment to heal if necessary.
Jon planned to end it all, and quickly cast Critical Strike and Elemental Aura, took his second sword and surrounded it with fire, ran towards the bandaged man and struck the ground in front of him with the swords.
A dozen ice spikes emerged from the ground, piercing the man at the same time as a fiery explosion incinerated him.
"Ready" Jon sighed.
"Shall we go in?" Arya asked.
The others nodded and went into the pyramid.
Upon reaching the central room, another bandaged being awaited them, but this time, he was larger, about two meters tall, muscular, his bandages were black, some skin could also be seen between them, completely black, and his eyes were red with black pupils.
The being did not stop to greet and raised its arms, Jon saw how scorpions appeared in them and launched themselves at them.
Ned took the initiative now and slashed his sword through the ground, lightning bolts striking the scorpions on the ground and knocking them back.
The being meanwhile had moved quickly and reached Ned, hitting him with his hands and sending him two meters to the ground.
Jon attacked the being and hit it on his back before falling to the ground from a sort of suffocation.
Sansa quickly moved to her father and healed him, but the man was still in pain.
He moaned loudly as if he couldn't breathe properly.
"It's like a disease" she muttered as she watched Ned's hands turn purple with strange bruises. The girl used Cure Diseases on her father and they returned to normal, the old man seemed better and stood up.
Sansa ran towards Jon and did the same, he began to breathe normally, Arya threw herself on her and the girl fell, fortunately she realized that her sister saved her, the dungeon boss had attacked her without her noticing.
[T/N: It immediatly starts rupturing your bloodvessels as soon as it's in your body, which would help it rappidly spread in a body. Also the rupturing would destroy the Aeolies, or whatever the ballsacks in your lungs are that allow you to breath. Could be Magicaly enhanched Hemolysis]
"He's already realized that you heal us, you're his target" said Arya.
"He'll have to get through me," Jon said, approaching.
"Do you have a plan?" Ned asked.
"Sure, attack" said Jon.
Ned raised an eyebrow and Jon slammed his hand into the dirt.
"Summon Soldiers" he whispered.
Thirty armed soldiers appeared in front of them, Ned knew it was his soldier summoning skill, which could summon a unit of thirty soldiers at this level and they were random, including swordsmen, spearmen and archers.
"Attack!" the boy exclaimed.
Dozens of arrows were sent to the monster, and he fell after receiving so many, but then he got up without any problems.
Jon prepared himself.
"I wouldn't be a boss if it was easy," he resigned himself.
The mummy summoned his scorpions again, and these were countered by the lancers and archers, although some of them fell due to their poison.
Arya was using her Life Absorption to attack, when something occurred to her.
The dungeon boss used a kind of curse on his body to make them sick and summoned scorpions to attack.
It was magical.
"It needs mana" she murmured and pointed at the mummy.
"Mana Absorption" she cast.
A blue ray came out of her fingers and hit the dungeon boss, he stopped his attack and fell to the ground tired, Arya appeared in the white room.
"Wow, that thing must be worth a lot of points" she whispered and headed to the computer.
She had reached level 9 with 2 skill points. She left the room and saw Jon take advantage of the fallen mummy to hit him with his sword.
"No!" Arya said upon seeing him, the mummy flew backwards from Jon's blow, and the boy continued his attack with the soldiers.
" What happened? Why didn't he get sick? " she thought.
[T/N: ...Dementia?]
Sansa meanwhile was healed the falling soldiers who were fighting the scorpions. She used full heal about three more times before falling exhausted and reaching the white room. She got level 9 with 3 points before leaving.
Ned meanwhile helped the soldiers, and used his aura of the elements again to hit the scorpions, throwing a flame that incinerated most of them, and reached the white room.
"How's everything going? " he asked.
Jon looked at him and nodded.
"It seems that Arya's Mana Absorption prevents the monster from harming us when we damage it" he said.
Ned nodded, the plan was simple enough. The man walked over to the computer.

It took Ned a few minutes to decide, on the one hand, he needed magic, on the other, he needed more strength in his sword if he wanted to quickly get through the dungeons, where his aquatic magic was of no use, or at least he didn't think it was.
He turned to look at Jon and he shrugged at his father's hidden question, Ned sighed and touched Swordsmanship.

He pressed yes.

Ned noticed it was similar to the earth element aura, but it wasn't random anymore.
He left the room.
Ned quickly invoked his Dismember, and began to attack the scorpions without any consideration, they were destroyed as soon as the sword touched them.
Sansa cast her full-heal spell on another soldier again, and Arya cast her Absorb mana.
Some beetles surrounded the girl and a howl was heard, Ghost arrived and shook them off, moving at high speed and with his claws, as sharp as metal, he quickly got rid of them.
Jon took advantage of seeing the creature distracted and sent four soldiers to attack it while he positioned himself behind it, the being attacked the soldiers without seeing Jon and he launched his attack against the creature's neck and decapitated it, arriving at the white room.
He looked at Ned and he nodded and head to the computer.

Jon nodded and started to leave, appearing on some beach surrounded by mountains.
"What happened? " Arya asked seeing all this new stuff.
"We beat the dungeon, the area was cleared. Now there's only one left" said Jon
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Robb looked at the woman as they dined, Talisa told him about Ned as a sellsword and about Sansa and her work as a healer.
News had arrived that the Ironborn had taken Winterfell.
Theon had betrayed him and the boy felt useless in the face of it all.
If his father were here, he would have scolded him.
He would have even sent him to his room to think, or slapped him.
As if he were a child.
Maybe he was.
A gullible child.
He believed in his friend, he believed that his friend's father did not want war.
He thought they would do the honorable thing.
He was wrong.
Talisa approached him when he was distracted and gave him a small kiss on the lips, they had been in a secret relationship for a few days, his mother didn't know or anyone else.
But the girl made Robb fall in love with her.
Her dedication.
Her kindness.
And her spirit made him fall in love.
"Everything will be fine," she told him.
And Robb believed her, at least for the moment.

Bran looked calmly out his window, a few days ago Theon had them locked up, escaping was easy, he would just have to fly, but with Rickon and the wolves it was more complicated.
The boy sighed.
They had to flee and he knew it.
He had been having dreams about a crow asking him how he could walk.
The dream left him confused.
He told him that he should go to the three-eyed raven beyond the wall.
The boy ignored him at first.
But then he started dreaming about the crow every day, without stopping.
"Go with Robb, or beyond the wall " he muttered.
"Bran?" He heard and turned to see Rickon.
"Soon," he promised.
Rickon nodded.
