《Dungeon from the Void》B3 | Chapter 12 - Dawn's Trip and Jake's Troubles
Advertisement
Dawn
The first thing I see when I leave the dungeon is a small open field with a few tents on each side of it.
Since it's nighttime right now, I try to dim my flames as much as possible while also shrinking my size.
This should be enough to hide myself from the people on the surface.
Now, it's time to go 'borrowing' some new things for Fenrir!
After some brief snooping to make sure no one is around, I find a shiny new spear within a sleeping person's tent.
I quickly put it in my little mini storage before sneaking back out of the tent.
It's a good thing Wisps get a mini-storage, otherwise I would only be able to bring one thing at a time to Fenrir.
Too bad it can't fit very much.
I look around for a little bit for other people before checking out each tent that has no one nearby.
I continue doing this for a couple of hours before I start having difficulty finding anything new to 'borrow.'
So far, I have been able to find a nice potion of slightly higher quality than any of the ones we have seen as of yet, a shiny new shield, a couple different types of poisons, and a steel dagger.
Oh yeah, and that spear that I found earlier laying around in that sleeping man's tent.
Maybe I should check out that large building next?
It looks important.
As I begin floating over towards it, I hear a commotion coming from behind me.
"Someone stole my shield!" A shout can be heard from one of the tents I had 'borrowed' from.
Soon after, another shout can be heard from a different tent, "My dagger is missing!"
Okay, maybe I shouldn't be too ambitious on my first trip.

I slowly begin to float back towards the dungeon entrance as more shouts can be heard throughout the tents.
Fortunately, I manage to reach and enter the dungeon before any of them notice me.
I mentally sigh the moment I reach the safety of Fenrir's dungeon.
Fenrir notices me the moment I enter the dungeon and instantly asks, "So how did it go? Are you okay?"
I turn a light pink out of embarrassment before quietly saying, "I am fine."
"That's good," Fenrir says as I teleport to his core.
I then pull out all of the 'borrowed' loot I had gotten while on the surface to show him.
"This is all of the stuff I found while I was on the surface," I proudly tell Fenrir while glowing purple with pride.
Jake
"The monsters here are so easy to kill!" Arthur says with arrogance as we finish off the tenth room of the first floor.
"I know, right? Are all dungeons this easy?" Arnold responds, trying to curry favor with the young noble as usual.
It's times like these that I wish that I wasn't a part of Arthur's party.
Unfortunately, my best friend is also in his party, and I am not willing to leave her alone with these arrogant idiots.
I glance at Roselyn as Arthur opens the door to what should be the mini-boss room.
Why did she have to fall for that idiot?
I'm not even sure how he managed to get a diving pass in the first place!
Wasn't he supposed to be on bad terms with the City Lord?
Then again, he is the son of a Lady, so it's possible that he got one thanks to her.
I focus again as we reach the end of the tunnel.

Arthur opens the door, revealing the mini boss as it immediately gets up from its place on the other side of the room.
He then rushes in with his enchanted blade, followed shortly by Arnold.
Roselyn joins them with her daggers as I raise my bow to fire at the mini boss.
My arrow hits the monster in the paw right as Arthur raises his enchanted blade and sloppily slashes in the monster's direction, hitting it at an awkward angle and only damaging it thanks to the sharpness enchantment on his sword.
Arnold rushes in with his spear and impales one of the two wolves next to the mini-boss.
Jason finally catches up to the others and raises his great shield to protect Roselyn.
Meanwhile the idiot next to me finally manages to shoot an arrow into the mini boss' side.
The battle doesn't last very long, but Arthur manages to get himself hurt from the breath attack anyways despite being CL 5.
I sigh after the battle is over.
What idiot decided that sending him to a dungeon was a good idea?
He is basically just relying on his equipment and cultivation at this point!
"You did great, Arthur!" Roselyn exclaims in excitement.
Seriously?
I sigh again, deeper this time.
It's times like these that I wish Roselyn wasn't such an airhead.
By the time we reach the third room of the labyrinth, we have already gone through two extra paths that we didn't need to go through.
First it was through Arthur's pick, then it was Arnold's pick.
I hope that whenever we finish this puzzle, we actually manage to pick the correct door.
Speaking of puzzles, whose idea was it to have Arthur of all people do this puzzle?
Even the idiot would have been a better choice than him!
To prove my point, Arthur says, "Who cares about puzzles," before pushing random buttons on the wall, causing a bunch of wolves to spawn within the room.
I sigh before raising my bow to start killing off the wolves.
Maybe I can convince Roselyn to change her mind about Arthur?
I fire an arrow into one of the wolves' skulls, killing it in an instant.
Jason shields me from one of the wolves as the others go about fighting the rest of them.
I fire another arrow before ducking back behind his shield.
The fight doesn't last for long before we finish off all of the wolves.
"Alright, let's go through this door!" Arthur immediately announces whilst pointing at the door to the left of the entrance.
Of course, the instant we pass through the door, it seals itself shut behind us.
Why?
What did I do to deserve this?
Arthur doesn't even seem fazed as he marches on further into the room.
I notice Roselyn glancing at him in admiration for some reason as she follows after him.
Never mind.
It's probably too late to change her mind by now.
I guess I am stuck here for the time being.
I follow after the others without a word.
