《Land of Ilragorn》Chapter 16- Cyko Generals
Advertisement
Ten days have passed since I started going into the dungeon.
Suvunkilbub told me that the dungeon changes to train me.
The dungeon would usually just send hordes of monsters out to attack me so that I could get battle experience.
However, since I have the race skill that allows me to get a buff from fighting multiple enemies, it has been giving me challenges with one powerful enemy.
The challenges have been pretty simple.
The third floor was a circle room with high walls, still the same bricks and glowing cracks.
The monster was a harpy. the challenge was that if an attack hit the floor, the floor would disappear, and a pit of spikes surrounded by lava was below.
I mean really, lava and spikes, together, that’s a little excessive.
Anyway, the harpy could fly, so I kicked it through the ground.
It was a really simple floor.
Though while it was dying in the lava and being impaled by spikes, it started doing the chicken dance and making chicken noises.
This place really confuses me.
The fourth floor was another circle room, but the roof wasn’t as high, and the ground was stone.
The monsters were stone behemoths, moles, five of them.
The challenge was that the moles, high level but small, could appear anywhere on the ground, and I had to predict where they were going to end up.
I got two of them before the others learned that they should go up away from me.
I counted the time when they went down and then went back up, however, I couldn’t tell them apart, so I gave up on that.
I then tried something I saw in a movie a long time ago, I used flamethrower on one of the holes.
Pillars of flame shot up.
All the moles were dead.
They all died underground, so I didn’t see any gesture, but I expected it was doing one.
The fifth floor was weird.
I mean weirder than the rest of them.
I was dropped into a clear ball, then a small, but muscular, bi-pedal dragon started pushing me.
I started spinning, so I tried using aerial movement to stand up, but the ball crashed into me.
I didn’t know what to do, so I kicked the ball.
It cracked but was slowly healing.
Why can a ball heal, whatever, I found my way out.
I kept kicking, the dragon spun me faster, I couldn’t get a hit on a crack.
I didn’t stop kicking until the entire ball was cracked.
One last kick, the ball shattered.
I got a level in punt for that.
The dragon laughed and rushed me.
He beat me once, ran out of time, but the second time was mine, as it took me less than ten minutes to go through the four floors before it, no monsters in them.
Before it died to flamethrower, it made the peace sign.
The next floor was a slightly transparent maze, where four flaming monsters chased you.
I tried water gun, but it evaporated, even the mana boosted one evaporated.
Each hallway had a golden light that when touched disappeared.
I was being backed into a corner until I noticed that one of the lights was bigger and brighter than the others.
I touched it, the flame monsters turned to ice and started running away.

I ran and kicked it.
The ice disappeared as I shattered it.
I led the other three to the other brighter dots and shattered them as well.
The last one though, instead of running, it started spinning, a joyful spin that a three-year-old would do to express their happiness.
The door appeared, but I had to traverse the maze to get to it, it was near the beginning as well.
The seventh floor was a square room, same designs, and it had a filolial, which surprised me, I tried to say hi, but it fired a red light at me.
I tried to dodge, but it curved and hit me, and we were off.
I couldn’t stop my legs, they wouldn’t listen to me and just kept running forward.
Behind me a red light trail followed, what a weird skill.
I was about to run into a wall, but then I turned my head.
My body followed.
I then proceeded to run into the opponent's blue light trail.
I get this game now, we had this game in my original world, though I’m pretty sure almost the games here were based off of my original world, I asked Suvunkilbub about it, she didn’t know anything, except that the monsters I’ve seen so far usually give her the most trouble out of the monsters she’s seen in this dungeon.
I then proceeded to beat it at her own game easily, as my speed stat is tremendous.
Once the lights were gone, we fought, of course, I won, but before she died, she stuck her tongue out of me.
This is kind of getting repetitive, I cheese or complete the challenge, then I kill the monster.
I can work with this.
The eighth floor was a square room with a high ceiling.
The monster was a single centipede.
It was huge, three times the size of the snake I beat before I got to the village.
Then multiple mushrooms fell out of the roof as if fell out of liquid.
They started floating in the sky at random elevations.
Then the centipede started going down towards the mushroom, when it hit the mushroom it changed directions.
I fire a pepper breath at it, it goes in half, another head forming and goes in the opposite direction.
I then shoot at the original multiple times, it splits off into multiple pieces, until I hit the head.
When the head is hit it completely disappears, I then proceed to hit the head of all of them, missing a lot.
The little ones are a lot harder to hit than the big ones, so I hit all the bigger ones first.
When it’s just down to three little ones, I realize I could probably jump up and hit them.
So I do, and I am successful, they easily go down.
The last one does the gesture, as usual.
It goes cross-eyed, and then his eyes spin.
It then laughs to itself and disappears.
The ninth floor was a kobold in heavy armor, with a circle made of something that looked like chalk.
I walked up to it, it immediately ran up to me, no speed reduction with the armor on either.
It hit me out of the ring and then teleported back to the original position.
This time I activated magic armor and hit him back, I actually couldn’t push him back at first.

Then I activated flamethrower and pushed at the same time.
Then it became an easy second round.
It teleported back to its original spot in its stance.
I walked over to my starting space.
This time we circled for a second, then we came together pushing at the center, he has a little more strength then I do, or is it the armor?
Whatever I use the same strategy.
Once he is almost out, he teleports to his starting position, leaving me to fall out of bounds.
I look up to see him smirking.
A little embarrassed, I get up and go to the starting position.
I then use aerial movement to get behind him, then use crushing beak to grip him.
I then pull him to the outfield, ten times easier than pushing.
Perhaps he has a skill or the armor has an enchantment that he can’t be ‘pushed'.
With this knowledge, I win the next round easily, he tried to dodge me, but couldn’t, I was too fast.
We fought and the usual cycled continued.
I won and this time it just laughed and smiled.
Now here I am, the tenth floor.
I am walking down the stairs, the same bricks, the same glowing green.
It is almost brighter here than any other room, I guess this is the boss room.
I reach the entrance of the room.
Every single monster I’ve faced is right in front of me.
The minotaur, the gargoyle, the harpy, the moles, the short muscle dragon, the four flame monsters, the filolials, the centipede, and then the kobold.
“Welcome, Kwehzalcoatl, chosen by Suvunkilbub, to the boss room,” the kobold yelled.
“Indeed, you are one of the few who have made it, but that doesn’t mean much, once you're gone, you're gone,” the filolial said in a snooty voice.
“Hey, he is a guest, at least give him some respect, I had a lot of fun fighting him,” the minotaur said.
“Same,” the short dragon said with a nod.
“Well I didn’t, I think he deserves some rudeness, he destroyed my precious body, Cyko gave it to me itself you know,” the gargoyle said with clear resentment in its voice, yet its mouth didn’t move.
“Oh you don’t shut up about that do you,” the moles said in unison
They all then start talking at the same time arguing whether I deserve respect or not.
“I have a question.”
“Yes, what is it.”
“Who are you guys, and didn’t I kill all of you?”
The kobold smiles, “We are the Cyko generals.”
“You don’t look crazy.”
The centipede laughs.
They all stare at him until he stops.
“Anyway, we are dungeon monsters, our souls come from the dungeon core, meaning we all can fight you infinitely until you destroy the dungeon core.”
“Did you just give me your weakness?”
“Not really, isn’t that common knowledge?”
“Well this is my first dungeon, but it makes sense.”
“It’s your first dungeon? Wait, how old are you?”
“A little more than three months.”
They all gasped and said random things consisting of what’s and how’s and I lost to a three month your old.
“Anyway, why would I want to destroy the dungeon core.”
“What do you mean, that’s the main goal of dungeon excavation ain’t it?”
“But I need training, isn’t this the best training I could have, just doing challenges and fighting you guys?”
They all look dumbfounded.
“So you don’t want to kill Cyko,” the harpy asked.
“Not really, I mean if it just produces EXP wouldn’t it be a good thing to keep around?”
“That’s… A unique thought process.”
Silence goes through the room for a couple of minutes.
“So, this is floor ten, is this the boss room?”
“Oh… Oooooh… yes, it is. This is the boss room.”
“Is fighting you guys the boss fight?”
“It was, but now we don’t really have a purpose in fighting you, besides once the time runs we all go to our floors and you have to fight us again.”
“Do I really have to play those games again?”
“Well, now you don’t have a choice.”
“What do you mean?”
“Bye.”
A light flashes through me.
I’m back with Suvunkilbub, a little angry.
“Gross.”
I again fall to the first floor.
30 minutes later…
“Well, that was fast.”
I learned all the tricks from my first time through, a couple of skills like flamethrower and aerial movement leveled up, also the skills they gave me became LVL 2, simple really, wasn’t hard to beat them once I learned how to cheese them.
I still gained nine more levels too.
“So, now I just have to beat you guys right?”
“Do you really think it will be that easy?”
“I gain four hundred fifty stat points from having nine enemies, even if you fight me one on one, my stats will be way above the average then they already are.”
This was a bluff, I had no idea if they stayed that way, never had a chance to test it.
“Now that’s troublesome, but I think it will be less simple than you think.”
“Anyway, I won’t destroy Cyko, but now I set a timer using analyze, you can’t fool me anymore.”
I found this out during my third day of dungeoneering. Apparently analyze can set a timer, tell me the time, translate any language, tell me the temperature, and even tell me what moon it is going to be.
This led to murmuring among the crowd with basically the subject of why can’t the muscleheads do that.
“It’s probably that I have high intelligence so I get more options with it.”
“So we can’t convince you to wait, well then I guess we have to fight.”
“You deserve what’s coming for you, vermin Chocobo.”
“Let's have a good fight.”
“You’ll pay for breaking my body two times, this body was sculpted by the magnificent Cyko, you shall perish.”
“Shut up gargoyle, and you’ve dug your own grave.”
~Angry fiery wiggles from the flame monsters that have no mouth~
“Let’s have a battle Cyko itself gets excited for.”
“Watch your back, I’ll be there.”
“Let's have a hundred legs of fun,” the centipede said chuckling to himself.
“Let's go,” I activate mind acceleration and magic armor.
I rush forward.
