Chapter 472 472: 7th Floor Welcome I
There was an intense and searing flash of light as Cole landed on the ground with a thump. He could taste blood in his mouth, but at the same time his head was ringing. He could feel his body acclimating and adapting to his new environment, so he opened his eyes.
[Welcome to the seventh floor, the theme for this floor is a sky full of stars. Welcome to the forgotten Galaxy, a cosmic land of ruins and forgotten civilizations and horrors untold. Both chance and woe are inextricably woven in this land….beware, even for God's, death can claim them.]
[You have Entered Time Dilation Dungeon Resis Colony. All Communications Blocked, You can not log out Until the exit has been found. Or you have slain the individual that dragged you here.]
[You failed the sixth floor system side quests. The side quest and system generated quest system is disabled for aspirants above level 100. Seek out your own opportunity and path to the next floor.]
The notification screen popped away and Cole was faced with a view of an endless expanses of stars and darkness. Where he was laying down, or rather floating through was a hanger bay covered in a layer of dust with a ruined ceiling of what was most definitely a structure in space.
But this was a dungeon, and the dungeon seemed to be in space and was in ruins. It should not be possible for him to be able to breathe without an atmosphere or gravity stabilizers and oxygen. Yet here he was doing just exactly that….Cole wondered if he could breath in the vacuum of space now, but in the end this was a dungeon. The rules of reality within it, is not the same as what's outside.
Cole got back to his feet, but not before another notification popped into his face. Plus maybe because he was so comfortable, Cole had not really noticed that he was actually still armored, so maybe the question of how he was breathing in the vacuum of space had been answered just from that.
Everything seems grayscale, it took a moment for Cole to realize that everything seemed to grey to him, because it was pitch black in here, and he actually had some sort of night vision. Before this of course he had the night vision, but this one was on a whole other level.
[You Have Been Marked For Assassination]
Cole raised an eyebrow at the rather ominous system prompt as he looked around. Whatever this dungeon was, or what shape he was in, he could only tell that he at least was in some sort of massive hanger bay. He needed to move around a bit to at least figure out what was so up with this place.
After giving the wrecks of ships a cursory glance he leapt forwards, not even relying much on his own power to blast into the air and cross a massive distance, all he had to rely on was gravity that was absent in space. Plus it might be as good a time as any to practice the new skills and see what's up with them.
But he needed a secure location, this was like the beginning of the even all over again, new to level and power and he had to rely mostly on his wits to survive. The first floor was a desperate struggle for Cole, hopefully the 7th floor is nothing of the sort.
*Clang!*
Cole shook a bit, thoroughly spooked by the loud clanging sound that just went through the entire Dungeon. He swallowed, looked around a bit as he summoned Azazel. He was in space, there was no better weapon to use that a gun. He shifted the weapon into its revolver form as he took a much closer look to his surroundings.
One half of the hanger was missing, it just seemed cut off, like a power sword or energy beam had shared it in half. And sure enough the other half of the wreckage of what seems to be a space station or colony could be seen in the distance, empty and devoid of life and absolutely colossal.
He could try to get across, but until he was sure his control over gravity was absolute, he would not be risking the open vacuum of space. He turned away, finding a ladder to another walkway that overlooked the hanger. It led to a maintenance entrance, but a little ways further down was an open blast door that led deeper into the darkness.
So that was two options, Cole had to pick one which was more viable for him. But which it was, is the question on the table. And he spent to long asking it as crossbow bolt stabbed through his right leg, punching through his thigh to go through his genital and straight through to his left leg where the bolt moved through until only the bottom half still stuck in his body, the tip outside gleaming with blood.
[You Have Been Afflicted With A Pain Curse! For 5 Seconds!]
"Fuck!" Cole cried out loud as he took an instead step backwards and traced the location where the crossbow bolt had come from. He noticed someone vanishing in a cloud of shadows as he opened his eyes and turned, just in time to get a dagger stuck under his jaw and through his entire skull to come out of the top of his head.
The fact that whoever was attacking could get through Cole's defense was already a sign that he was dealing with an equal in power if not above him. So this was death, and as darkness swallowed Cole he could see and recognize that his enemy was the same person that had tried to kill him back at Te Boreas.
And then it was over, with Cole stumbling forwards, his eyes wide in shock as a crossbow bolt went through the spot where his legs had just been a few moments ago. Relying mainly on instincts Cole used [Auric Galaxy] releasing a blast of star light infused with Gravity that blasted his assassin backwards, the individual stabbing a short black knife into the steel floor of the station they were on, releasing sparks as they traveled backwards. Cole had to be honest.
"That was so cool!"
[Your Bloodline And The Stat Divination Have Achieved Synergy! The Technique Divining Devil's Eye has been comprehended by 5%! Comprehend it fully to unlock the technique.]
Cole could only come to one conclusion after seeing this prompt…
"Dude! I can see the future!"
