[VRMMO] Dead One

"I wants the notes of this entire place taken. Anything and everything." – said ClownFrog as he walked towards the group that had gathered near Oron.

"I want all the data regarding this place."

"The statue. The style. The text. Everything. Even photos as well."

"Huh. Is that place really that important?" – asked Rampage who walked behind ClownFrog.

"Yea… It maybe is way more important than an anything we have seen so far." – replied ClownFrog as he turned back to the Rampage.

"I mean, this place, this room, this statue? It maybe an lead to something extremely important. Something to "Forgotten History"."

"Everything and I mean "EVERYTHING" is important informations in this room."

"I want even slightest details of this whole room recorded."

"…."

(Now that I think about it. Should we ran into some monsters already by now?) – though ClownFrog.

[Dragonian Territory] – [Enchanted version of the [Dragonewt Territory]. Much stronger detection skill, but also uses way more energy to maintain.]

"…."

(There are monsters outside…. But they are hiding.)

(Weird.)

(These monsters never ambushed us and instead ran at us mindlessly…. And yet they are hiding?)

(…. No.)

(Its other way around.)

(They don't want to approach this statue?)

(Did they worshiped…. No.)

(Its hate and fear.)

(And statue of the god in the place such as prison and execution grounds?)

(Imprisoned and executed while having this thing mock them.)

(Were they forced to worship this thing as they were held here and executed?)

(Are the people here some sort of "Victims of the Zeus" or some people that believed in him?)

(Honestly, this place had piqued my curiosity.)

(This place has "SECRETS" and leads to them!)

(I wasn't really person interested in history, but this? This got me interested.)

(Especially "ZEUS".)

(An "NAME" found in the Forgotten Fragment.)

(This is quiet big piece of the lore.)

After taking everything, we found in that room, notes, photos and all other stuff, we continue the exploration of the dungeon while obviously encountering more and more monster on our way, including the boss monster.

Sometime later, we managed to get to the floor number 4 and oh boy, the scenery there was completely different.

There weren't any cells or anything like that, it was…. An straight up torture room… The entire floor was.

"What the hell are we looking here at?" – said Rampage as she observed old and destroyed torture tools.

"Torture rooms… Everything on this floor seems to be related to torture." – said GreyHunt.

"Nothing more. Nothing less."

"There is no prison theme here, nor anything related to execution."

"This whole floor seems to be dedicated to torture?"

"…."

"Where the fuck are we?" – asked Rampage.

"I mean, for real."

"The Forgotten Bride dungeon wasn't anything like this!"

"Well, this dungeon was well hidden, to the point it took me sometime to found it and there is also the fact of "WHERE' the dungeon is." – said GreyHunt,

"An desolated place where no man live and see."

"I don't know if this dungeon manifested or what ever else here on purpose or other stuff…. But the question we should be asking is: Are other Forgotten Fragment dungeons are also like this? Do they have an hidden pieces of the history? Maybe each has and we maybe had missed something in the Forgotten Bride dungeon?"

"Actual, I kind of though about it." – said ClownFrog.

"When we were in the dungeon, we never found anything religions, right?"

"No statue. No object of worship. Nothing like that."

"Even though it was temple, there was nothing there."

"…. Wait, so is that like an hint?" – said Shri who tried analyze the situation.

"But wait... Yea, that is weird. Should that statue be in there instead of here?"

"Yea! That is the thing!" – said ClownFrog as he snapped his fingers.

"I clearly remember that fuking temple, since I was struggling to deal with it for the long time…. But I don't remember anything religions at all…. So, I can say that there was definitely nothing religious there." – said Rampage who had in past tried to conquer the Forgotten Bride dungeon multiple times, only to fail each time until she was assisted by the Purple Hyena guild.

"But what if there was really no leads there? I mean, what if only some Forgotten Fragments have stuff like that?"

"Who knows? Maybe they do, maybe they don't? Maybe they all have, but are too blinded with our greed to beat the dungeon to not notice the hidden lore?" – said ClownFrog.

"Take this entire dungeon for example. Its telling story, without telling it."

"Its unknown, yet it somehow gives hints of what had happened."

(And, there is also the name…... "Zeus" …. This information is extremely valuable like hell.)

"Em… I don't want to bother you or anything, but we seems to have some company." – said Ampi who was keeping watch outside the room.

"…*Sigh*."

"I guess we are back at non stop fighting." – said ClownFrog as he left the room and entered the corridor.

The sound of rusting chains could be heard coming from the distance before moments later an creatures covered in chains that were also fused with the monsters bodies as one without the head had emerged from the shadows and were running towards the group.

[Tortured And Executed And Forgotten]

"Huh. New guys." – said ClownFrog as he aimed with his staff at the monsters as the monsters threw their chains towards him.

"[Origin Elemental Blast]." – ClownFrog fired an blast of combined earth, wind, fire and water magic elements towards the group of the chained monsters.

The chains and the blast of magic collided with each other, causing an massive explosion that covered the whole corridor pathway.

However, moments later the chains began flying through the smoke, straight towards ClownFrog.

"Oh? Well, that is interesting." – said ClownFrog as chains closed in until they were suddenly all knocked away by GreyHunt and his expectable swords.

"Let me." – said GreyHunt before covering himself in the demonic energy and launching himself forward through the smoke before reaching the chained abominations that were ready to fight.

The chained monster swinged their chains around, trying to hit GreyHunt, only to hit his copy made out of sand that took the attack for him, while the GreyHunt himself somehow managed to find himself behind one of the chained monsters and swinged his arm around, slashing the monster right in the back.

"?!"

(Hard!) – though GreyHunt as he wasn't able to dig his blade into the monster flesh that was fused together with chains.

The chains monsters rushed at GreyHunt, only for them to get suddenly get send flying and away from the GreyHunt.

"You, okay?" – asked Oron who had fired the shots alongside Blueberry.

"Yea. But those guys seems to have somewhat high defense." – said GreyHunt as he retreated.

"I tried to do an quick assassination to not use up ammo, but I wasn't even able to dig into their flesh with normal basic attack."

"Huh. Really? I made your new blades extremely good at slashing and stabbing though." – said Blueberry.

"Yea, I know. And that is the problem, since it should have worked." – said GreyHunt before using enchantment skill on his blades and covering them in demonic energy.

"THEN LET ME AT THEM!" – shouted Rampage as she ran past GreyHunt and slammed against the chained monsters, only to get stopped.

"?!"

(They held me off?!) - though surprised Rampage as her charge was stopped pretty quickly by the chained monsters.

"Bastards!"

"[Blood Wreck]!" – Rampage blew herself with blood magic, damaging and knocking back the chained monsters.

After knocking back the chained monsters, the barrage of the bullets began flying towards them, hitting the monsters over and over, but not managing to kill an single one yet.

"!"

"Damn! They are really solid bastards!" -said Oron who realized that none of the new chained monster variants have died yet.

GreyHunt and Rampaged rushed in at the monsters and began fighting them at close distance with their weapons.

GreyHunt and Rampage both enchanted their weapons in demonic and blood magic before then using them to attack the chained fused monsters who were still able to somewhat take the hits from the two.

(Damn! The difficulty changed, eh?) – though GreyHunt before leaping to the side as an giant crossbow bolt flew past him and impaled the 3 chained monsters together before sending them flying, resulting in two monsters death, but not the third who managed to endure the attack and even stopped itself from being too far.

"Ampi!" – said Lil.

"I got it!" – replied Ampi.

The chained rushed in, but then out of nowhere, the ground beneath monsters feets sinked into the swamp, hindering their movements before moments later the plant veins with metal thorns grabbed the monster legs.

"Thanks!" – replied GreyHunt who used the opportunity to slash one of the chained monsters in two after using the [Demon Butcher] skill on his blade.

However, not all of the chained monsters were trapped in veins and swamp as some monsters were crawling on the roof right above everybody before leaping downwards, arming for the GreyHunt.

However, before the monster could reach GreyHunt, an golem made out plants and metal emerged right to him and punched the monster whole body with its fist while also extending it forward, ending with the chained monsters getting slammed and crushed against the wall.

"Me and Ampi will focus on support! You just focus on killing those fuckers!" – shouted Lil.

"You don't need to tell me twice!" – said Shri as she rushed in with her monsters that crawled on the walls, reaching the celling where some of the chained monsters were waiting to attack.

"Fuck them up!"

"Fuck them all up!"

"And then let's go and find that mothefuking boss of this place already!"
