Ch. 21 Flexibility
Back at Malpetios Core Room. It's so difficult to absorb things with people inside my halls... at least I can focus on it to speed up the process, I got some of the Mages processed and unlocked [Magic Cloth] and [Magic Silk] and got myself a new skill.
[Mana Shield]: Using the mages Mana field as a blueprint and the core's natural talents, this skill was created.
A barrier surrounding the user protecting him from sources of damage. The strength of this barrier is determined by the amount of mana supplied by the core and can be enlarged or refilled at no wastage for as long as it remains in the core's life forcefield.
This skill was mentioned by Q'ill before, now that I have it I can protect myself better from sneak attacks, at that moment I felt a large amount of Elemental Wind rampage inside my halls pulling all the poison out while feeding me Elemental mana. It seems there's a lot of mages this time, a bad feeling creeping all over my Core. Q'ill! I sense so many mages is this normal?
She grimaces, no dear... the soldiers were fine it was only slightly strange for them not to send their slaves the goblins or war captives. When you told me about their mages I assume they were commanders behind this 700 strong army, but after killing all but three to still have more mages can only mean there's a higher rank commander sent personally by the Church most likely a rank higher than the mages, there should be 200 or more... Dear! Can you increase your life aura anymore? I'll support your boss while you fight at least till the real commander shows up, I may not be able to fight for long since I no longer have Elemental Mana but I can still give them a good show!

Looking at my inventory I had 18 (Life Crystals) from so many people staying in my halls for around seven hours, however, It feels like something is blocking the hundred or so crystals from being collected, I can only guess I need to be empty of invaders to gather them properly.
Looking at the entrance, twenty mages walked inside my now poison-free halls, ten of them started to cast Ice spells freezing my river rooms to the point my slimes can't escape the thick ice. More mages came soon after with sixty soldiers, they approached the gravel and sand room where they cast a mass levitating spell their goal my Blender Room. Five of the mages kept the group off the ground, ten mages quickly squeeze themselves around the narrow doors and froze the Blender room, the rest moved to the entrance of the Maze 20 mages were left behind. The soldiers started to explore my Maze while the remaining mages walked outside, now with even more soldiers they walked over the gravel and sand room causing the water to be forced out of the ceiling, the mages quickly froze the water clogging the exits not allowing for the water to build momentum.
I ordered my slimes to try and dig their way out of the sand and gravel room but was nearly impossible, the few that managed were blasted before they could even fully exit the ground, the mages clearly aware of their attempts. I was panicking! What can I do? Should I try to Evolve the Ivys so they can move on their own with no stimuli or maybe the slimes? But I need the Crystals to let Q'ill move more freely so she can help me, gha... worrying about it won't change anything! I quickly used the Crystals on myself, it was better to rely on someone as strong as Q'ill than to try to salvage this sinking ship.

Q'ill there's little time before they arrive on my last Puzzle Room, I don't know how long it would take them, but considering there are so many not more than three hours tops. I quickly drop around thirty (Prismatic Mana Ivy Fruits) at her feet. Here eat this when you are low! Q'ill looked at the fruits happily thanks dear, I'll try to wait for their commander to show up before I cast any big spells, are you ok? I can sense your distress, hehe well and your telepathy waves are blasting out at full force, you can probably knock someone out. I was a bit ashamed that I was so obviously out of my league, what can I do I have never thought I would die any second, although my Human memories are no longer so dominant I still see myself as him, I been trying to ignore the bloody scenes and strange feelings of "cannibalism" each time someone dies in my halls, I have found comfort in just pushing them aside and remind myself that I am a Dungeon Core and not a human, but I can't keep hiding from my problem, yes I am a Dungeon but I am also Human.
Thanks, Q'ill, I am really not used to all this death and fear, I can barely think properly and just push it all back in my mind somewhere. Is fine dear, no matter what we are here together, just remind yourself that you are doing this to survive ok? She said. I nodded and felt better, with a calmer mind I started to look at my options.
I thought of many different things I could do but none of them seem effective, while I was brainstorming the soldiers made it to my 9th room, I relaxed a bit thinking that my puzzle room would buy me some time, however, I was shocked to find the fountains empty, Dumbfounded I looked as the mages followed the soldiers to the room and just filled the Balance Scales with Water Magic arriving at the boss room.
Malpetios brain, if you can call it that, seemed to forget that mages can just fill the required water with magic. Huh??... Oops?!

How to have fun in an apocalypse (Rewrite)
After spending an unsavory amount of time in hell, our protagonist finally manages to escape the place that had kept him captive for so long... again. Unfortunately, even after plotting and planning for years, he ends up in a place not much different from the burning and agonizing Tartarus he once had to call home. Guts, blood, and carnage start to reign over Earth as soon as he set foot in it, much to his dismay. What use is it to cry over spilled milk, though? Tired of the monotony of endless torture, he steps into the world intending to have as much fun as possible. While others might try to raid the Orc Lord with as many people as possible, why not challenge him to an arm-wrestling tournament? The power of friendship will surely be on his side. Why hide from the big, bad wolf in one of your houses if wearing camo in plain sight should have the same effect? Now, making friends and going on adventures would be perfectly fine, if it wasn't for the fact that he hides a few more secrets than one might think at first. This is a complete rewrite! Due to being unsatisfied with the previous version, I have decided to work the story up, beginning from the older chapters! Version 2.0 includes: - enhanced writing and editorial skills - additional information and aspects to characters - minor deviation from storyline and improvements

8 152This project has no purpose
Summary: This is the story about the life of a "human" amidst a world that only appears to be earth at first glance. Long ago the face of this world resembled the typical tales of yore; of knights and fairies, swords and magic, however such an era has come and gone. Even the world of fantasy has progressed steadily into the modern epoch filled with the wonders of science and technology! In the ancient times a certain crisis had occured that lead to the quick decline of various magical species. Due to their low population and general incompatibility with the other races they could not crossbreed to save their numbers. Left with no other choice the major races of the world gathered together in an attempt to change the fate of this dying world. Their only hope was a special 'world-tier' magic known as 'the dusk of harmony'. The result of this magic would dissolve every race into their purest essences known as 'aspect' and instill them within the human population. The humans were the best choice as their numbers were numerous and form was similar to most races. As such, the various races of this world managed to save themselves in essence and soul only, though perhaps there was no other choice. With the various humans now carrying the weight and aspects of those who came before, life has continued onto the modern age. Yet, even amongst these hybrids 'Pures' emerge from time to time, beings who have inherited not only aspects of the ancient races, but their forms too. These Pures are often times exceptionally talented and seen as near deities. This is the story of a perculiar boy who is born with the soul of a stranger from the world known as 'Earth'. With the memories and soul of a human, he too is a rare Pure; a pure human. --- This project literally has no purpose and is being written because I felt like it. There isn't any semblance of a solid direction nor have I thought about any characters aside from the main character and a few auxiliary cast. If you would like to contribute to building this world with me then please contact me through a DM or by leaving a comment, I will be sure to credit you.
