Chapter 142: B2: C42: Hide and Seek
Zarian stepped into Ruvaria’s room and felt a complex shift between dimensions. He reacted a split second too late and transitioned to a different realm of reality.
His heart hammered in his chest. Adrenaline filled his veins. His body became hot, hungry, and ready for a fight.
His cloak snapped out and sprouted dozens of deadly limbs. Zarian prepared to hand-sign and chant for One Percent Power.
He looked around and saw he was in an old stone hallway. Ancient roots dangled from the cracks in the ceiling. There were rings upon rings of mushrooms that covered the floor, with a layer of thick, loamy, and moist dirt underneath. The doorway he used to get here was gone, replaced by a wall covered in thick roots behind him.
Little motes of concentrated energy bobbed around in the air like blue glow flies. The air was rich with aura, more than he’d ever felt before in one location.
There were no immediate dangers he could sense. Zarian and Para remained at the ready as they finally addressed the gold notifications hovering in the air.
<You’ve entered the Enriched Faerie Dungeon (Epic-Level 70).>
<You’ve been brought here under friendly but highly challenging conditions. No mini-map. Find the Dungeon Mistress, Empress Ruvaria, Daughter of the Absolute King.>
Daughter of the Absolute King? Zarian thought in wonder. How much lore do you have packed in you, old lady?
