Will of chaos

Pov Ibuki:

Unfortunately, I can’t participate in the same training as master, so when I left the room before he woke up today, I went to the new training that master’s sister suggested.

I grab my mask and clothes and run to the Colosseum after eating a few meat dishes to give me strength for the day.

When I arrived at the Colosseum, I show my identification that I got the other day and permission from the master’s sister to be able to use her VIP room while I’m here.

“I arrived…” (I)

“You’re late, Ibuki.” (Sophia)

“She hooked up with Zenos last night, so give her a break.” (Diana)

“This data is very interesting, how did I not think of this before?” (Nicole)

“What is she doing?” (I)

“The master gave her a tip, told us to keep an eye out while he collects information from the various daily combats here in the Colosseum.” (Sophia)

“Has the combat of my Grade of strength started yet?” (I)

“It will start in 1 hour.” (Diana)

The best way for me to train is not against monsters, I need to fight against people of equal strength and who know how to think, fighting in a simple way will not work against cunning enemies, that’s why I can never touch the master, he always predicts my attacks, the same with Diana.

1 hour later, arena.

I was in the arena facing a Dark Elf, and along with him was an uncertain monster that has scythes instead of arms and legs that look like spears.

“[Begin!]”

“< Shadow World >” (I)

“< Hidden Shadow >” (I)

“Think you can catch me off guard?”

“< 4 Scythes Like 1 >”

As soon as the fight starts, I take over the arena creating a dome of shadows, this should steal the enemies’ vision, but the master warned me to always think as if the enemy could know where I am, so I add a spell that covers me with shadows.

The enemy attacks together with their monster, they knew where I was and they attacked coordinating, I noticed that the Dark Elf’s eyes were closed.

“< Illusory Shadow Blade > ×50” (I)

“< 100 Cuts >”

I create dozens of Blade attacks that seem to change their directions, but they are false attacks with the True ones always following through into the shadows where they come out from another angle in the direction of the target.

The Elf tried to use an attack to defend himself against the illusions, but the True attacks hit his body and left his monster lying on the ground almost dead.

“[Winner, Mask of Shadows!]”

After that I spent the whole day in the Coliseum, I fought 53 times, of which I was victorious 39 times, most of the times I lost it was the same reason, resistance to the shadow element or Affinity with the Light element, but at least I learned a lot during these fights.

We also discovered something the DM should know, good thing Nicole has been recording everything all day.

Pov Zenos:

I spent a few hours talking with the three Saints and Arthur about the Dungeon, the Communal Temple, the city, and the rules within the Dungeon.

Vanessa and Freya helped me with the parts I forgot, after all, I don’t even know everything, especially about the city since I dumped most of the responsibility on someone else’s lap.

It was no surprise to see the Pleasure Saint’s charmed face, her eyes were shining when she heard the courtship and kidnapping system inside the Dungeon.

The Saint of Love also loved knowing about the variety of races living in harmony within the Dungeon.

The Saint of Fertility in turn seemed interested in the rare or unique races within the Dungeon, moreover, her eyes were more dangerous than the Saint of Pleasure’s when they looked at me.

After telling them all this, I called Nix to ask the 3 Santas and Arthur some questions, I could already imagine the answers, but I prefer to guarantee, so I ask the usual standard questions to see if they have prejudice against any race, their objectives in entering in the Dungeon and whether they want to harm anyone in the Dungeon or my group.

It was no surprise that everyone passed, but I had to ask these questions anyway, after that I opened the Dungeon and asked Jade and Barok to take the 4 guests to the Dungeon City, but at that moment Dragonewt arrived earlier than my sister had taken it, she was kind of drunk and my sister said she was cool so after asking a few questions she got in along with everyone else.

It was funny to see the drunken Dragonewt take Barok who was bigger than her in her arms and carry him inside like a princess, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so embarrassed, but she was much stronger than him, so there was no way to resist.

After I stopped laughing and closed the Dungeon, I went looking for Nix’s Father, I still wanted to know what those crystals were, I found him in the garden talking to another man who disappeared before I got to him.

“Who was that?” (I)

“A Dragon he came to give me an update on some things, it seems that the war has started between the Black Empire and one of the Kingdoms that supports the Church of Light.” (Arash)

“(Has the war already started?)” (I)

“(I’ve only been focusing on myself, maybe I should do what Luminus asked of me, any help against the Church of Light will be a breakthrough.)” (I)

“Arash, I’d like to talk to you about something.” (I)

“About the Dragon Seals I guess, I was surprised, shocked actually when my daughter talked about it.” (Arash)

“At first I wanted to talk to you about this, but another matter occurred to me that I’ve been pushing with the barrel for a long time because of training.” (I)

“So talk.” (Arash)

“You must know who the True Dragon of Light called Luminus is, right?” (I)

“That bastard tried to come to this town 4 times and tried to invade the Dragon Mountains 1 time, of course, I know who he is.” (Arash)

“Do you know why he did it?” (I)

“I see, he asked for your help, didn’t he?” (Arash)

“I know he’s trying to lead some of the Dragons of Light back to our side.” (Arash)

“Then why don’t you talk to him?” (I)

“Why do I want them all DEAD!” (Arash)

Saying that I see his eyes turning black only with red irises as a murderous intent started to leak for just 1 second from his body, but it was enough to make my whole body shiver and drench my back in cold sweat. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

When I realized, he was gone.
