Chapter 126 126 Eisheth’s prison (Part-1)
[Lucy's POV: ]
"You know you are an absolutely dumb person?"
"You are dumber than me, you know? I didn't cough up blood, look at that precious blood on the ground. It's not mine for certain."
"I'm not in that much pain either! People would die if they experienced something you are going through right now! You said you could do it 'no swat'!"
"I did it! See that dark cave! I opened it up!"
"The pain!"
"You have gone through worse things! This one is nothing compared to that!"
"You are not me! I can endure, you can create miracles! We are different and you are in pain! What if-"
-Slap!
"Shut the fuck up. My head is melting! Fuck!"
She slapped me again, what the hack! My entire body was already hurting after collecting that dragon Mana, and now a direct slap?!
"I'm hurt as well, you goddamn idiot!"
She was confident that she could undo that seal with ease with her current body, We had done it in the game many times anyway, this time should have been easy as well.
'But this turned out different from the game.'
The pressure it put on her mind when she was undoing the draconic magic barrier was surprisingly beyond our expectations. Like, It was even beyond what I expected it could be if things were different from the game.
'But this was way beyond even that.'
The pressure she felt on her mind and that severe headache was what she was feeling after her body and [Six Walls] filtered it, and still, even I could tell it was unbearable for her.
My body also suffered a lot from that extremely strong dragon Mana which, my body actually tried absorbing but failed miserably since the clash of two energies was too sudden and out of the blue.
If I had been prepared, I might have been able to absorb that crazy pure energy, even just an ounce of it, but there was no time to think about anything like that.
"Ughhh! Let's use the elixirs."
I didn't want to use those things until later but this was an emergency. The dungeon we had opened up just now was a little different from the usual monster dungeons that people know about.
"Fuck that bitch! I wanted to use them in synthesis later!"
They were precious, not just because we got them from the silver treasure chest but also because they were comparatively of higher quality than the cheap elixirs we could afford right now.
They were good, like really good. Whoever made them had even caught El's attention since she had rarely seen ones like them.
She wanted to create artifacts that could hold recovery effects comparable to those elixirs through the synthesis process but, this incident shattered those plans.
"Keep a little then. A portion of it should be enough for our bodies. I will use Dawn's [Origin] if we need it afterward."
"Fuck. I don't like this."
She took out two familiar-looking vials containing a magical liquid that had a unique light of its own, the elixirs we had obtained from that silver treasure chest and were saving for an actual emergency.
'This is still an emergency, even though an unexpected one.'
The power of an original dragon surpassed even my expectations. And this incident confirmed one of the doubts I had about us, and the world we were in.
'Even though it is very similar to our game, this is a world with its own standards.'
It was certainly possible that most of the things would be the same about this world and our game but, not everything is going to be the same.
Just like the strength of this original dragon's mere magic, something that was not even its actual skills, things were going to be more difficult when it came to the unique creatures or, the four great species, awakened ones, mystics, and the special ones.
"Let's be more careful next time."
We weren't players anymore, but an actual part of this world. The restrictions of the world were the same for us as any other element of the world and the Worldline.
We will have to keep that in mind.
"Cheers."
"Really?"
She handed me the restoration elixir while the Mana elixir gleamed in her hands. But her hands were shaking even still. It was amazing how she was handling that unfamiliar amount of pain.
'She didn't like the pain so she avoided it most of the time, but, perhaps thanks to all the training we had since our young days, it had helped her improve her endurance a little. But this was still not enough.'
A dragon's magic is not that different from its skills, and, one of the most interesting aspects of its magic is its unique self-awareness.
Their magic is almost like a living creature, something which can act on its own if any kind of unexpected thing happens.
Even this time, the magic spell knew the one trying to undo the barrier was not its creator so it tried rejecting her input midway through the process.
Things could have been worse if she hadn't acted quickly and used an extreme method to directly operate the magic spell from its core, reverse calculated every single element, and possibility, and reopened its structure from that core.
She practically 'created' something in reverse, something her body was yet unable to handle.
So, she was in pain, and I was too.
There was no need to argue any further. The dungeon we opened was a 'territory' so if we wasted too long here, things would be very difficult, and a 'dungeon break' would happen. And, the creatures inside there would come out and it would become even more difficult situation to deal with them.
"Cheers."
-Tak.
"Gulp."
We tapped our elixirs and she drank some of it, and handed it to me, while I handed her mine after drinking some of it. We usually share them with a kiss but that was off-limits until this fucked up exam was over.
It was best to finish the whole potion or elixir or any recovery item for the best possible result but we couldn't do that now. Both of us had to be in the peak condition for this dungeon raid and these were the best options we had right now aside from summoning Raz and spending some unnecessary money to get something similar.
'We shouldn't do that either. Now that we know there might be greater dangers similar to this one, we could be in great danger in the future. So, we have to be more prepared for that.'
Besides, we had heavenly constitutions. The effects from these powerful items should recover us to a pretty good condition.
"These certainly are quite something. I feel freaking great!"
And these potions also went beyond our expectations. The surprised look on her face was adorable, but the warmth and new life-like feeling we got after drinking them was undeniably better than I expected.
The pain I was feeling throughout my body recovered instantly and even the clashing energies became stable after drinking it.
What's more, I felt like my strength and stamina was enhanced. But I didn't get any notifications so, perhaps the system couldn't recognize this enhancement.
"Huuuuh. Better. Now I can kill everything without any problems."
"Yeah. Let's start then."
We were ready now, and the headmaster was watching us, and he would continue to watch us inside this dungeon. But the fact that, as soon as we enter, we will be leaving the test area in a way, remained unchanged.
It wouldn't be safe, but, we knew it was never safe.
If we couldn't even defeat a demon of her level, there was no way we stood a chance against the beings we would face in the future.
But, we just survived the power of the dragon that had captured her and kept her alive only because her child liked a peculiar creature like her.
We survived that, something even she might not have been able to handle. So, killing her, a bitch that was nothing more than a whore that liked 'pure' creatures, was a comparatively easy task, even after taking our newly gained insight about the unique creatures of this world.
"Haaaa… alright."
Holding our hands together, we placed them on the surface of darkness oozing out of the dungeon that had appeared after her amazing work.
[You have discovered the <D> rank dungeon: Eisheth's prison!]
[The dungeon is a unique territory of a certain being holding higher authority. Checking the eligibility to enter the dungeon.]
[Checking the previous life records of the individuals.]
[Ding!]
[Scan complete. It has been confirmed that the challengers are 'pure' beings.]
[You are eligible to challenge the dungeon: Eisheth's prison. Please note that the territory of the dungeon is filled with demonic energy.]
[It is suggested that you use light or holy protection regularly to negate the opposing power.]
"We had to remain pure for this very moment, haaa… Imma gonna kiss your soul out when this ends darling."
"I'm waiting for that as well. So, let's go."
Smiling at her warmly, I squeezed her hand a little and nodded confidently.
Before us was demon territory, the dungeon boss was a particular type of demoness bitch who are actually very famous among different parts of the Worldline thanks to their innate ability to induce pleasant dreams and provide heightened pleasure to their 'consumers'.
They are bitches, beings of lust and pleasure. Born with a body that is sin itself. But, they are naturally that way. Some like it, some don't. But the fact that she will like both of us, will even try to take the 'purity' we preserved with so difficulty from us, is always there.
We will be up against a succubus of higher rank than us, but before we face her, we will be up against her 'pets' or more like toys that she had used for her own pleasure all this time.
The dungeon will be difficult, but…
"[Light of strength]."
We were together right now, and also all by ourselves...
'We can go all out if it is necessary.'
