Apparently, the big mana core from the Rainbow Slime Emperor could feed an entire nation with mana energy for their magic artifacts for years and years! Wow, I don't really care though, I am making some pretty accessories for the two treasures of my life, so they can suck it up.
Anyways, it was time to move out, but right after we began to step upstairs to walk out of the boss room, the System spoke to me and reminded me that I actually wanted to conquer the dungeon. Right, I almost forgot. I was so concentrated in thinking about accessory designs for my wife and my daughter that I ended losing myself in my own thoughts, that can be quite problematic.
<Hey! You have to conquer the dungeon, remember that!>
"Ah! Right, wait, I have to conquer the dungeon!" I said.
"Oh!"
Everyone stopped moving as they realized I wanted that. Benladann nodded as she came to my side and the two of us began chopping down the ground with all the strength we could muster, the secret of finding the hyper secret dungeon core is tearing apart the spatial walls that separated it in a dimensional bubble, as I call it. We can't do that with just sheer strength, but Benladann can use Chaos magic to corrupt the spatial walls elemental power and weaken them to the point we can hack them open.
Yeah, it feels like a hack or a cheat, but that's how we did it back then with Benladann, and this is how we always do it, without her I wouldn't be able to actually reach the dungeon core room actually, so its thanks to her that I can do it and become a Dungeon Master.
Crack… crack…!
CRAAAASH!
Benladann hit it once more with her new black axe, that had an easier time harboring her chaos magic, and the space below us slightly cracked open, until a large crack on it appeared, and it was slowly regenerating back, so we had to quickly get inside. The two of us jumped inside with Benladra on my arms, and we landed into the floor quickly after.
"Wow! Dwark!" Said Benladra, looking around, the room was completely dark, but there was a mysterious orb shining in the distance, that was the dungeon core.
"Shiny!" She said, pointing her tiny index finger at it.
"Yep, that's the shiny." I said.
"Let's get done with this… Cough, ugh, there's a lot of dust in here…" Said Benladann.
"Yeah, I'll clean it using wind magic later today…" I said.
I moved towards the dungeon core and touched it, quickly asking the system to hack it by infusing a bit of my mana inside. The dungeon orb, that was only shining slightly began to shine even brighter than before, as if it were activating after eons.
FLAAASH!
However, something we didn't expected happened, as some sort of hologram emerged in front of us! It resembled some sort of female figure? It had the shape of a mannequin than anything, a white mannequin in the slight shape of a female, without any eyes or mouth or anything, just completely white.
"UWAAAH! W-What is that?!" Asked Benladann.
"Uwaaaah!" Cried Benladra at the same time as her mother.
"C-Calm down! I don't know but this thing is… part of the dungeon core?" I wondered.
"…Welcome, dungeon conqueror." It spoke with a soft voice.
System! What the heck is this thing?!
<Analyzing…>
<Apparently, some sort of independent magical creation infused into the dungeon core by someone incredibly powerful, it has lived for apparently millions of years and… I think it is something like an A.I…>
WHAT?!
"Oh, I see, so the one that managed to break through the space wall was you, a Unique Skills user- no, two! Oh? Three?! Amusing! My master would be pleased to meet some fellow earthers." It said.
"W-what are you?" I asked.
"Oh, my bad, I should had introduced myself beforehand. I am Zero, the autonomous and artificial "elemental spirit" made by master to guard this inheritance set in an easy dungeon." He said.
"An inheritance? And master? Wait, you're a spirit like Belle then…" I said.
"Belle? Anyways, Master's plan was flawed, I don't know how he truly expected anybody to find his inheritance if he locked them behind this spatial bubble, unless they were able to use spatial magic, which is too rare…" He said. "Well! He wanted someone comparable to him to find them, and here you are, you three managed to do it, congratulations to you for doing something that literally nobody could do for millions of years!"
"Eeeh?!" Wondered Benladann.
"Weee?!" Asked Benladra.
Really, mother and daughter were very similar sometimes.
"Dear, its an inheritance… Remember Belle's dreams? Like that, but not so annoying." I said.
"O-Oh! I see… I never thought we would find one…" Said Benladann.
"Nwever…" Said Benladra.
"Ahem, anyways, this inheritance was made by Master Takeru, he was known in the outside world as the Great Demon of Dungeons, and he was said to torment the world with Dungeons for blah, blah, blah. You know the drill, right?" Asked the spirit.
"Y-Yeah… He was a bad guy." I said.
"Well, plot twist! He wasn't!" Said the spirit.
"Huh?!"
All three of us were left confused.
"How?! He planted dungeons and filled the world with monsters! It was said that he filled the world with so many monsters that all of life was going to be engulfed!" Said Benladann.
"Well that's not true, mostly true but not completely… Erm, well, we could say that master was… an eccentric man obsessed with dungeons, and he was somewhat of an anti-hero sometimes, but he wasn't bad BAD!" Said the spirit. "Really! I swear by my creator."
"Huh… Can you explain it a bit better?" I wondered.
"Well, I surely can, but let's resume it with a few words. Master was somebody that saved the world instead! In the past the world was filled with miasma…!"
