《dungeon alive》chapter 24

Elique pov
That damn chaos God Matt killed my followers. It's a good thing those were some of my weaker followers but regardless it can't go unpunished. I think next time i'm going to send three giant berserkers two Elven archers and a human Mage, they should have enough power but just to be sure I'm sending a owl bear with them.
I can't wait to see what he does when I kill his little dungeon.
2 weeks later...
Matt pov
It's getting kind of boring being a god. I want to spice it up so I'm going to do something big.
I'm going to build a city.
Of course it will be a holy city and I have to do something super racist because of it but I want to be fair so I'm making it that humans who aren't my followers can not enter.
Pretty cool right? Yeah I thought it was a good idea because humans are super racist and speciesist. Of course tho I want it to be mostly monsters and magical people's. For the city I plan on using a mountain about 100 kilometres away from there my goblin village is set up. That way I can have the village supply the city with warriors when needed.
It had to be massive to accommodate monsters of all sizes. With streets of smooth cobble stone for both strength and ease for the carts that would probably be rolling on it. It needed flying mount stables as well as accommodation for monsters that can fly but are intelligent, such as dragons. A huge crafting sector for monsters and people to get equipment.
It was surrounded by good hunting grounds and various other mountains. The dredge race had a large population in the area and I intended for them to build the city. Well I guess I'll pay them but I don't really know what they like...
The only problem was the tribe of arrogant grawl. The ape like people were high in number and had many warriors. It was going to take... More power than I currently had to dispose of them.
So I'm going to take up some forbidden magic in order to do it.
No nothing that destroys unfortunately, I tried that, I can not learn destruction magic. But I can learn mutation magic and it does kill. But it's technically not a battle magic so I can learn it.
It's called the vell, it steals life force from one creature and transfers it to another, which results in mutations. Like if someone was wearing armour against their bare skin it would fuse the armour to them and it would be apart of their body, making them a monster. It's highly dangerous but I think it's bad ass. It will make my followers who are human not human if I use it on them though. It will draw a lot of hate to me from other gods tho, mostly weak gods trying to make a name for them selves. No one over c rank would trouble themselves with a small bit of forbidden magic. Now if I was to release a horde of people who could use it I would attract attention of people much stronger than I. Hell really old b ranks can destroy everything I have right now easily, just because I'm a young god. Most other gods have a whole country for themselves. I want a country. I'm taking the mountain range. It doesn't have great farm land but with most everyone being monsters and magical we can do with less vegetables and what we do need can be grown using magic.

So on a different note that God, Elique sent more followers again. They even brought an owl bear, sad tho that its strength is only on par with hind bears. Otherwise it may have caused some problems for Lana. Her second floor currently has almost 100 rooms, it's massive and I'm not sure why she hasn't made a third floor yet.
The super dungeon is so big that I haven't even seen it all. Having a core crystal that large Makes it work very fast.
Also my village has a third chaos goblin now with many close to ranking up. The lesser imps seem calm when they meet the goblins but the Kelioblobs are downright hostile. Their numbers are only slightly larger now and I think my village would win in a fight but the losses would be heavy so I'm not starting anything just yet.
I also created a few fleshreavers. They use corpses to create their own body as well as create off spring. They grow by eating other creatures. The strongest is currently level 120 with the weakest being level 4 the height difference is over 12 feet. The wingspan on the strongest is almost as big as a jet plane. There is currently only three fleshreavers. They are camping out side Lana because they ate the entire cemetery. I plan on using them to help fight the grawl, whose average level is 50. The chieftain is level 150 which would normally be a problem but by the time we get there all the fleshreavers will be around that or higher because of animal and monster corpses that attack us. I was preparing a small surprise of murlocs and skales to attack them. The skales had a frog like body with a massive sharp spine and a flat face filled with ferocious teeth. It cost me a lot of points but 100 of each were hiding in the forest below the mountain ready to strike. It was a suicide mission but they could hopefully take out some infrastructure and spread chaos, as well as kill a few grawl if possible.
I currently was having Hunter lay down in the ground and there was a dragon core laying on his naked chest above his heart. I was planning on doing his mutation first because he has taken on a leader position among my people. In order to do the mutation I had Lana send out 3 hind bears and they are just laying down sleeping. The process was hard but after a quick yes from Hunter I began. Light of all colours, but mostly brown and red flowed into Hunter and as it did he started to glow, to the point I couldn't even see him anymore. I couldn't stop the magic now though because it would almost surely kill him. I could feel the life drain of of two of the Bears completely but the last bear was still putting out fire mana.
And with a final surge the bear died.
By this point I couldn't see anything but hunters shape.
And it was not the same as before.
With a final blinding( not to me of course) flash the, now red, light was gone. In place of Hunter there laid a monster. It was about 6 inches shorter than him and looked to be made out of dark grey stone with veins of lava running through out its body. It had small wings on its back that, presumably, would not allow for flight. When I checked hunters level it had jumped by ten, putting him as the highest levelled person in game. His race also also changed to become a draconoid (lava variant). He didn't get to choose where the stat point went though it seems that they all went straight to endurance. Surprisingly enough he didn't lose any agility. I had Maxin move his limp passed out body to the side. Or well I guess he tried and ended up having some skeletons do it because Hunter was to heavy.

Maxin was up next to be mutated and when he laid down he placed a iron golem core above his heart and a mana crystal on the other side of his chest. He placed minotaur horns on either side of his head and two more eye balls on his forehead. He also strapped a shield to each arm.
Because we now know what would happen better he was adding more things to make him stronger. It would also take more power tho so we had a hind bear, the level 70 flesh reaver, a level 10 lich of his, and I was even able to summon a lesser infernal, tho it took about as many points as a dragon. The lesser infernal was 40 feet tall and made of countless bones twisted together. It had a fire ball floating in its chest and was a level 300 monster. Maxin was going to be bad ass.
The magic started and the amount of energy going to Maxin was a lot more than than what had gone to Hunter. Majority of the energy was dark energy and Maxin was covered in a dark light. Weirdest thing I'd ever seen and I currently am a God in a fantasy world, so that's saying something. It took twice as long to complete this mutation but when it stopped Maxin was 20 feet tall and made of a huge number of bones. He no longer had flesh but he had a massive head and four eye sockets with black flames in them. He was covered in a armour of what appeared to be shoulder blades. On top of his head rested massive horns tipped with crystals. When I checked his race it was the greater noble lich and his level was almost 200! He was a power house. His physical stats were were almost twice that of Hunter and he no longer had mana. Wait no mana. Oh it got replaced with essence. It's like 1000 times stronger than mana but it does all the same things. He had exactly 1000 essence.
Monsters really do do it better. He also gained a few skills including but not limited to mass create undead and unholy blessing. He could create massive amounts of undead and they would all be elites. I was going to mutate Gerald to but he wanted to wait until he was larger and could do a better mutation.
I didn't really know how to do Lana so I just left her. I also let the level 4 flesh reaver eat all the corpses. Boosting him up to level 110.
I was finally a force to be reckoned with. At the cost of almost all of my points...
Regardless I was. I left the passed out monsters in the care of Maxins head lich who surrounded them with some archers and swordsman.
Maxin had spent all the money he gained from loot to equip his ever growing army.
With the head lich nearing level twenty he was almost sentient and was a good leader for the other lichs.
I teleported to the dredge capital and flew around looking for the leader. It only took about five minutes to find him and two to argue with him about the price. He was an ass hole. I think I know a better way to mine out the mountain at a much cheaper price...
By the time I made it back, after checking my village, I found that Hunter and Maxin were both awake and getting used to their bodies. I told Maxin to load his entire army into his space as well as the fleshreavers and I told Hunter to hop in as well. Then I used all but three of my points to teleport Maxin to the only entrance to the dredge capital.
Then the army attacked. The flesh reavers ate many but it was so insignificant in the grand scheme of thing that it didn't matter. Maxin did something that I'm not sure is genius or stupid... He used 500 essence to bless his lead lich. The lich instantly evolved into a greater lich and is level 65. He could now kill almost any player because monsters are just stronger than people. The only reason people have a have a chance is equipment. Well when you give monsters equipment they become deadly, or uh deadlier.
With the new strength all we had to do was wait for it to be over. The dredge managed to kill a few level ten lichs that were wandering around but that was it. They got swarmed so badly by all manner of creatures that they died quickly. It wasn't a great fight though because by the time they killed all the dredge up to the castle almost all the undead we brought were dead. I may have gone over board and killed every single living being in the city. The flesh reavers were both over level 220 now and they flew effortlessly on their big rotten wings.
It was time to take the castle. All the dredge soldiers in the castle were level 70.
It was Time for the big boys to fight. Maxin and Hunter strolled towards the castle along with the level 65 lich.
It was like a force of nature hit the soldiers. Maxin sent dredge flying and shot spells out and Hunter was very accurately sending heads rolling with his sword. The lich reanimated all the dead to fight.
It took them about three hours to clear the castle. With that all the dredge in their main city died.
But then Maxin reanimated them all and set them to work on the mountain. Of course he did send protection for them. He created a lich and then blessed it with his last 200 essence bringing it up to level 25 instantly.
With the issue about about the city mining sorted I simply claimed this is a holy city so that only people and monsters affiliated with me can enter unless they kill the guardian. Which currently is going to be all of Maxins lichs and their left over troop except for the level 65. With that the boys started their walk to the mountain and I signalled for the murlocs and skales to attack. It will take Hunter and Maxin about 4 days to reach the mountain because they are building the army on the way there. I'm about to receive a lot of points...
