《The Paradoxical Dungeon》Chapter 11: The Battle Continuous
Advertisement
With the beetles having started to heal I move my vision over to the next battle. There I see Bolt leading his tribe into battle aginst the second group of humans. These ones seem to be from the empire and are much weaker than the last group. Which I find is strange. How can an empire be so much weaker than the people it rules over. This group doesn't even have some strong Mage or warrior with an exceptional sword.
It's as I'm thinking this that final five of them all take out a scroll of paper and start to chant. As they do this a wall of Mana appears around them. As they do this I start to take a closer look at them and notice that they seem to be wearing nicer close then the rest of them. They also have better weapons and are the only ones that seem to have these scrolls on them. It's at this moment that I realize what is happening, they are probably low ranking nobles that thought they would get a part of the blessing for killing me if they entered the dungeon and used the other soldiers as guards.
They also probably brought the villagers into the dungeon distract some of the monsters so that they had a better chance of surviving. They were also moving to my core and not just staying in the entrance of my dungeon. This probably means that they can't just stay at the entrance if they want to gain the benefits for destroying my core. I must have been much stronger than they, though. So they hired some local mercenary to help with fighting me and sent in many of their soldiers as scouts to find the path to my core for these nobles.
As I'm thinking about these things, the barrier breaks as Bolt hits it one last time. With it now down they kill the nobles and finish of this group with only have lost 10 beetles and taking minimal damage. I order them to regroup with the other beetles as I start to look at how the other beetles are doing.
Blaze seems to be doing well, he was taking out a mercenary group and had only lost 25 of his subordinate while having taken out most of his enemies. I watched as he stabbed a person with his pincer and burned his insides before throwing him aside and running at a woman using a strange glowing bow. The man fired his bow at Blaze before reaching her hand into the air and creating an arrow out of mana before firing at Blaze again. I watched as Blaze was able to dodge the first one but was hit by the second one as he exoskeleton started to crack. Ignoring this, he continued to run towards the woman with the fire on his pincers started to glow brighter.

The two of them look each other in the eye as she fires her last arrow. It hits him making his exoskeleton starts to crack even more, to the point where it starts to look like spider webs, but it does not pierce it. Knowing that he has won, he reaches here and finishes her of. With their leader now dead, the rest of the mercenaries start to panic a bit more than the last group. But are still very calm for the situation that they are in.
With the rest of the humans being cleaned up and having lost a total of 25 beetles I move onto the next group. This group just so happens to be the other noble group that did not have a named monster going after them. Despite this, by the time I started watching them. They had already lost all their men but a few that were hiding with the nobles and had only killed around 20 beetles. I watched unimpressed as the barrier protecting them fell and they were left defenseless as the rest of them were slaughtered. With that pathetic fight over I decided to see how the villagers were doing.
While trying to find them I found the running away from the beetles as they were slowly being picked off one by one. I was about to stop paying attention to them when I noticed something interesting, they were heading straight for the exit. Wondering how this was possible I noticed that one of them was holding a quickly drawn map and was doing his best to read it while running away.
Wondering if they would be able to make it out or not, I decided to watch them as they struggled to run for their lives. The man in the lead yelling out instruction as the others did what they were told. as they followed behind him. I thought that they were actually going to make it out. That is until they ran into a pitfall. Killing the three in the front and trapping the rest of them with the beetles, they only lasted a couple of seconds before the last of them fell. With them dead, I think that everything is going perfectly as I move to the last battle.

When I get there all I see is beetle and human corpses everywhere. Looking around the only things still alive are Gust and a human wielding a great sword. Gust is doing everything that he can to fight with the person, but since his ability is focused on observation, there is only so much he can do. I watch as the large man swings his sword down on Gust over and over as his exoskeleton starts to crack more and more. This goes on for a bit before Gust's exoskeleton finally shatters and he makes his Mana Core explodes sending powerful blades of wind out in every direction, cutting the man's arm off but not killing him.Seeing that he is still alive I'm about to send in more monsters to finish him off when I notice that he is probably going to bleed out. With this in mind, I start to gather ever beetle that is still alive and start the final fight with the last four.
With them, all gathered I start by sending them all in except for the three named ones and 25 normal ones. As they start to get closer to the humans they enter a battle formation. With the archer in the back, the Mage in the middle, and the two swordsmen up front. It is in this formation they are able to kill every beetle that comes for them by simply cutting everything that comes at the while the to ranged attackers kill everything that is far away from them.
It is only a couple of minutes into this fight and they have already managed to kill over half of the beetles that are going after them. If that isn't enough, none of them even look tired yet. They seem to be having fun as they are killing monster after monster. The two swordsmen seem to be in perfect sync as they cover each other and push forwards through the horde of enemies as they are covered by the mage and archer.
They had pushed their way through the whole horde when I put my plan into action. I sent in Aqua to charge at the archer. Quickly reaching him, it self-detonated before any of them were able to react. As he did this pressurized water launched out of him in every direction, killing the archer and wounding the man wielding a great sword.
Seeing this the two Swordsmen started running towards the Mage but where to late as Bolt also self-detonated, killing the Mage and giving a chance for Blaze to go after the two Swordsmen. He reached the two of them and did the same, covering them in fire and sending them both flying into the walls. With them both dead I send the remaining beetles into clean up the mess.
As they are doing this something unexpected happens, the one wielding the Katana start to get up. Noticing this, the beetles around him start to go after him. Not even a second after they are in range of him, he starts to attack them. Killing them one after another, showing no signs of weakening. It is as he is doing this that I realize that I need to think up a new plane fast. And it is with this thought that I start to try and think of what to do as he kills the last surviving beetle and starts to walk around the dungeon looking for me.

8 216Dark Winter
It is always darkest before the dawn. After the divorce, Katie Fox was forced to live with her mother in New York after the judge ruled that her father, a former Army Ranger, wasn’t stable enough. They called him ‘that crazy bunker guy’ or ‘that paranoid freak.’ Whatever they called him, Christopher Fox was a Prepper. He taught those willing to listen how to survive in a catastrophe and how to prepare for the end of the world. More than that though, he was her father and she would rather spend her life in his underground bunker than another minute in that New York highrise. So, she ran away. The date is November 28th, Black Friday and hell has been unleashed on the world. A freak storm mixes with a deadly virus that turns its victims into mindless hunters of flesh. Katie will have to use everything her father taught her to survive and reach the safety of his underground bunker. Note from the author: Thanks for stopping by! The plan is to upload a chapter every Saturday or Sunday (as my schedule allows). Hope you enjoy the story!
