Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 377 Reaching The Third Floor, A Maze!-----
The layout of the third floor was not what we had expected, it was a small maze. There were many walls that led to various corridors everywhere. The floor size was still the same as the others before, so it wasn't anything that big, but still, it seemed that it might become confusing.
"Oh, a Maze-type Floor, these are easy as long as you know how to find the way down. There are usually monsters here waiting for you at every corner, have your senses in alert, kids." Said my father.
Father gave us a small tip before shutting himself up and simply watching over as we tried to find a solution to this dungeon's layout. A maze was certainly not something easy to resolve. If the walls of dungeons could be destroyed, I would honestly just break through them to get to the end, but I heard from my father that dungeons walls cannot be easily destroyed. They're abnormally hard and we would need to first learn "how to slice a dimension" to even try to break through them.
I guess he would resolve this problem very easily by doing that, but us? Well, not so much. We'll have to find our own way outside of this place, which is honestly a bit of a pain, but I am also quite excited. It is a weird mix of emotions I guess.
"This is a bit confusing, but we should begin walking for now and see what we end up coming with. Maybe there could be some clues." Said Aquarina.
"I guess you're right, sitting here thinking won't get us anywhere." Said Zack.
"Let's go then." I nodded.
We moved forward while looking around. We walked straight towards a corridor in front of us until we found a wall, we moved to the left and… dead end.
"Ah, dead end, well, let's go to the previous area." I said.
"Yeah." Said Aquarina.
"We'll get through it." Zack answered.
We moved towards the previous area, and the give a turn to the right. Suddenly, we found ourselves moving in an almost zigzag fashion, until suddenly we saw a larger room. It was a dead end too, but this room wasn't here just for show.
"What's that?!" Asked Zack.
"Ohhh! A chest!" Aquarina said happily.
"Wait, a chest?!" I asked in surprise. The thing far away from us, which I noticed late because I was looking elsewhere, was a big brown wooden chest sitting right in the middle of the room.
Aquarina ran towards the chest, trying to go open it.
"Wait, Aquarina, isn't this a bit too obvious?" I asked her, but she was getting too close.
"Wait, what's that?!" Zack asked.
"GRAAWR!"
Suddenly, the enormous chest opened wide, as an enormous mass of serrated teeth appeared and gigantic tentacles as well! Was this a Mimic Monster? It looked different than Furoh, so it wasn't a Mimic Demon at all!
"GUUU!"
Pyuku reacted faster than Aquarina and quickly wrapped himself around her, grabbing her away by extending his slimy tentacles and attaching them next to the wall to the left.
CHOMP!
The powerful jaws of the Mimic almost chomped Aquarina, but she managed to escape thanks to Pyuku's quick response. My father was looking at things very calmly! Hey, what if Aquarina got eaten?!
"Come on kids, don't fall for such obvious tricks. Aquarina learn to be a bit more sharp." Said my father. "Everything inside a dungeon is suspicious! Never lower your guard, NEVER!"
"Okaay, I get it! I'm sorry…! Uwah!" Aquarina lost her balance as the enormous Mimic ran towards her. It was faster and more ferocious than Furoh himself. This thing wasn't something that we could easily beat in one single attack. And it seemed to be covered in the chest itself that was actually a hard shell.
CLASH!
The creature moved its enormous tenacle-like tongue while jumping over the floor, furiously hungry for Aquarina.
"Electric Shock!" Zack roared, acting quickly as a spark of lightning hit the Mimic strongly!
SPAARK!
However, the creature was almost unscathed, looking back at Zack and beginning to chase him around.
"Damn it!"
While the Mimic chased Zack, I decided to act. Simple magic might not be able to easily get through its shell, so I quickly gathered the flames of Ignatius and enhanced my movements through a variety of spells such as [Metabolism Acceleration] and [Speed Enhancement] alongside the Wind Attribute Tier 2 Spell [Whirlwind] and flew directly towards the Mimic, reaching over its hard shelled head and unleashing an explosive slash of flames, which suddenly took the shape of a furious blazing dragon.
SLAAASH!
BOOM!!!
"GRYYYY…!"
The enormous explosion of flames engulfed the Mimic, as it quickly closed its shell to protect itself from the flames that could burn through its soft flesh. The monstrous creature suddenly began rolling over the floor this time, trying to push us over and then eat us. This thing was definitely not a small mob! Could this thing be Tier 3 or 4? That would make it a D Rank Monster!
CLAASH!
Suddenly, it hit me from behind while I was trying to find an opening. I had ended distracting myself by looking at Aquarina and thinking about helping her. The beast not only tackled me strongly while rolling, but it promptly opened its jaws and attempted to devour me whole the moment it hit me.
"GRAAAHH…!"
But this was just what I wanted anyways!
"Ember, Ember, Ember…!"
I gathered flames through Ember and covered my free hand with flames, quickly unleashing an explosion of blazing fire into the monster's open mouth, and quickly rolling to the left.
CLASH!
"GRAAKKHHH…!"
The creature ended hitting the wall right in front of it, while it was burning from the inside. The Mimic then attempted to chase me down again. The flames I threw inside of his mouth didn't killed it yet!
"Thunderous Axe!"
However, Zack acted, channeling thunder and wind into his Axe as a powerful explosion of lightning and winds forming a small storm was unleashed towards the monster the moment he swung his weapon.
BOOM!
The explosive combination of winds and lightning kept the beast at bay, only for a bit, as its shell barely showed many signs of being wounded. However, Aquarina emerged behind the monster after Zack's attack, as Leviathan Jr. suddenly began to unleash an icy aura around her!
"Freezing Storm!"
FLUOOSH!
