Chapter 9: God magic
"Hey, Ubel", Olleus said.
"Hmm, what is it?" I replied.
Olleus looked sort of spooked. "It's very surprising how fast Dark elves grow during their growth period," He said.
"Just get to the point," I said.
Olleus got a point though, I used to be really short before. However, it seems that I have grown quite a bit. I had the body of a teenager; my snow-white hair has grown to shoulder length, and my eyes have grown a little bigger. Right now, I am 18 years old, still, it's a little early for my growth period.
"Well, Sanjo has requested that you and Isao go training together in the dungeons," Olleus said.
"Is that so?" I said with a non-interested voice while reading the book.
"So, are you going or not?" He asked, concerned
"Of course, I'm going, Isao is very important," I said.
"Go then, they are waiting for you," Olleus said.
"See you, Olleus," I said, Olleus waved back.
Apparently, we are going to train in a new dungeon that appeared. Isao was waiting outside the dungeon. "Isn't Sanjo with you?" I asked.
Isao looked around before answering, "I can't see him, but who knows where he is". Creepy, Sanjo is creepy.
"So, should we just go in?" Isao asked me.
After a short pause, I said: "What's the worst that could happen?"
We entered the newly established dungeon; the dungeons are classified the same way as the Adventurers ranks. G – SS, the G class dungeons were simply rooms with nothing inside. The F class dungeons have some Rank 2 monsters inhabiting it. Rank – E may have several floors. This continues to SS, SS dungeons are literally mazes, filled with demi-gods, dragons, and ancient undead heroes. No one really knows the purpose for the dungeons, it is a subject that I, myself have researched.
This dungeon is classified as D-rank, a quite common rank among dungeons. Walking in, you can see that it has a classic cave-design. It is roughly 4 meters in height and 5 meters in width, and it is quite easy to know where you are supposed to go.
"Uwahh, this dungeon is scary," Isao said.
"If you think this is scary, wait until we start with B-class dungeons," I said.
"I'm scared just thinking about it!" Isao slightly squeaked.
The monsters in this dungeon weren't that hard to beat. I think we could take on around 15 of them if we fought together.
* * *
We continued down the dungeon, "Hmm, this is weird" I mumbled,
"What is weird?" Isao asked.
"Well, the dungeon is getting more complex the longer we go downwards. This is normal of course, but we are starting to exceed D-Rank difficulty." I answered Isao's question.
"Should we go back?" Isao asked.
"Nah, we can go on for a while." I decided.
After going deeper into the dungeon it started to get ridiculously hard for a D-rank dungeon "Ehm, Ubel?" Isao had a question.
"What is it Isao?" I said.
"Isn't this getting too difficult?" Isao asked.
"You think so too, it would seem that this isn't a D-rank dungeon," I said.
Just now, we were fighting against three Rank 6 – Rock Trolls.
"If this were a D-rank dungeon, then we would have reached the boss room already," I said.
"Then should we return?" Isao asked.
"That isn't possible," I said.
"Why?!" Isao screamed.
"After reaching the Tenth floor, the wall closed upon us, remember?" I answered.
"That did happen, I must've forgotten it. But, what do we do then?!" Isao shouted.
"We continue down to the boss chambers" I wiped the blood off my sword and continued downwards.
* * *
After intense fighting, we finally managed to arrive at the boss chamber.
"Seems we managed to get to the boss chambers" Isao panted as he said this.
"Yes, now, the only thing left is to kill the boss, and in order to that, we have to be prepared." As I said this, I took out a few potions.
"You can make potions?" Isao asked.
"Yes, according to Olleus it was important for me to learn" I answered.
"Well, it's good that you have potions with you," Isao said.
We drank the potions to prepare for the boss battle, Isao played with Wolfie a little. Although my attribute is unknown, I can still use Iron and fire for some reason. So I decided I'd prepare a few iron spells.
Isao prepares several shadow arts spells to use during the battle. Isao drinks more potions to replenish his stamina.
After resting both our minds and bodies, we decided that we were done with preparations and slowly opened the door. What awaited us was an gigantic… rock. What was at the end of the dungeon was a rock. Some might think that, but I know that that is not a rock. It is an elemental, a rock elemental.
Normal elementals are around Rank 4–7. However, this thing must be at least Rank–8. That is the same level as a Low class-dragon.
"Defeating this thing won't be easy," I said.
"I know, but it's not gonna kill itself," Isao said,
"Hehehe, you're right about that" I chuckled a little.
The battle started with me launching the first attack, it was a simple destruction fire spell… "EXPLOSION!". The spell perfectly hit the sleeping elemental giant.
"It's waking up!" Isao shouted.
"Don't reveal yourself yet!" I shouted back.
The Elemental got up on its two feet and started to run towards me. Its movements were sluggish but all of them held destructive power. The elemental was about 20 meters away from me, when suddenly thirty iron spikes came out from the ground and roof, the elemental let out something that sounded like a groan. Then it started running again, but Isao was prepared to deal the finishing blow. Completely hidden, Isao suddenly appeared by the elemental's head and activated a second spell he prepared. "Shadow binding!" Isao shouted the spell name. Several black ropes came out from Isao's arm and started to twirl around the elemental giant. Successful! Or so I thought.
Just before the rope managed to bind the elemental giant, it started flailing around with its gigantic arms, and it successfully managed to break the rope. "Damn it!" Isao shouted just before he received a small finger flick from the elemental. Isao was shot away like a bullet.
He's OK, I've seen him get out of worse situations.
Damn it, this is way harder than I expected. I have no choice but to activate the second spell I had prepared. "Spike ball!". After I shouted these words, a giant spiked iron ball fell unto the Elemental. Crushing some of it. After this, it became furious. It started to run towards me again.
Tch, when will this thing die! "Fireball!" I shot out a classic magic. Damn it! Using this no-chanting thing is taking a huge toll on my magic capacity!
The giant is getting closer!
The giant appeared right in front of me, I had just fired around 18 spells. Some of them were really strong too. Is this thing unkillable?! What do I have to do to make it fall over and die?!
Just when I thought everything was over, just when the gigantic arm was just 3 meters away from me. Everything froze.
"What is going on?" I asked the void.
"Chi", I heard a childish laughter behind me, I turned around only to find a little beautiful girl, she had quite the smug expression.
"Hmm? Who are you?" I asked the little girl sitting on a rock behind me.
"Who I am? Didn't your mom tell you?" The girl asked.
"I don't think a dead person can talk much," I said.
"I know she's dead, but did she never mention me?" She asked again.
"Can't remember her telling me about a girl with long colorful hair" I said.
"Isn't it beautiful? Well, enough about me. It would seem you're about to die, am I correct?" She asked,
"You're not wrong, I mean not now after I moved over here," I said.
"You still need to defeat the thing, don't you?" She said.
"Well yeah, I do need to get out of here," I said.
"Well, I have just the thing that you need." She said sounding like a businessman, "God magic" She said.
"What's that, some sacred type of magic?" I said.
"It isn't sacred, it's not something "we" the gods give," she said.
"What is it then?" I asked.
"Remember when the aptitude tester just exploded in your face?" She asked.
"Yeah, I do. It appears that my attribute is unknown" I answered.
"Don't you think it's weird that you can still use basic attributes like iron and fire?" She asked again.
"Of course I do" I answered.
"Well, all that is related to god-magic. Your 'unknown aptitude' actually is simply called 'Creation'" She explained.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Let me show you," She said and moved away from the gigantic arm made of rock.
