“Can we escape Hero Udon” Serena whispered to me. I looked around, besides from Neptune and the Sword Hero Weapon, there was probably about 20 other players, give or take a few.

“Can you fly Vnaa out of here Miko?” I asked her

“No! I can fight too” Vnaa puffed out her cheeks at me

“I know you can, but we are going to need to escape, all of us” I replied to the sulking Vnaa

“My wings aren’t that strong, I can’t even fly myself” Miko told me looking down in shame. That doesn’t help, damn it!

“You take care of these Laimus, I have a matter I need to settle in the town this traitor Nino lived in” Neptune walked over to the lake and stared back at me, his cold ice stare was enough to make anyone freeze, just by that stare alone, I knew he was going to do something horrific that would not only endanger the lives of the innocent but mercilessly kill them.

“Will do God Neptune” Laimus bowed with his arm out to Neptune, is he in on this as well? I don’t know why they are called Hero Weapons, none of the welders I’ve met are Heroes at all, you’ve got this disgusting, pervert over here and than that coward Ice Dagger Hero, just thinking about her makes my blood boil.

“If you manage to survive these players, be so kind and come see me, I would rather not go to the trouble of finding you all again” Neptune seemed to return to a calmer state and gave myself and the girls a disturbing smile, a wide grin and downturned eyebrows, signifying his evil intent.

“Get back here you coward!” I yelled watching Neptune jump over us and land on his demonic sea horse

“Where’s he going Master Udon”

“His probably going to destroy the rest of the town and frame me for it” I told Miko as Neptune disappeared in the distance over the calm lake

“Don’t forget about dazzling little me here” Laimus said taking a step forward, the other players had already circled around us, blocking any escape route we might have had.

“Why are you working with that piece of shit God, aren’t you a Hero Weapon? They are supposed to help and protect the dungeon” I know it was a stupid idea, but maybe I could reason with Laimus

“Hmm, help the dungeon you say? I don’t believe that’s the true nature of my dear Hero Weapon here” Laimus stroked his sword with a grin on his face

“These Hero Weapons are extremely powerful, if the Dungeon could create something like this than surly it wanted us to wield these weapons as we see fit. Money, fame, woman, men, anything I ever want I can have just by swinging this sword around, I gain followers where ever I go, the more power I have the more I can take, that is the true nature of these weapons. Idiots like you can’t see that, and that causes you to hold onto stupid morals like ‘oh the Hero Weapon will save us’ how pathetic and weak, get stronger by yourself instead of relying on other people, but in saying that, I couldn’t take what ever I liked if people actual did do stuff for themselves, so I am to thank the idiot people of the dungeon like yourself” Laimus turned to me and narrowed his eyes, his intent was clear as day, if he could help it he wasn’t going to kill me here, but he was going to inflict as much pain as he could, a true psychopath stood in front of me

“Hear my words dungeon, I ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of the Shadow’ Shadow Mist!”

“Umi, Miko, try and take out as many of those players as you can, Vnaa stay back and help from the rear, Serena try and group them all together and wipe them out in one shot with your magic” I shouted orders watching the entire area around us succumb to my shadow mist, Laimus and the other players looked around as they were engulfed in the purple mist.

“What a weak spell” Laimus chuckled

“Hear my words dungeon, I The Hero Weapon of the Second Floor ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons Sword flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of Light’ Flash!”

“What kind of crap is that!” Hero Weapons have their own incantation? Just how many different ones are there!?

“Hero Udon!” Serena shouted out. Laimus’s flash blinded everyone in the vicinity and dispersed my mist in the process

“Damn it” I mumbled grinding my teeth. These Hero Weapons are nothing but a pain!

“Sir Udon, try and do the incantation that the Sword Hero Weapon just did” Umi shouted out. I didn’t know how though, do I just say it?

“Fool! Only a Hero Weapon can do a Heroes incantation, just how stupid are you” Laimus burst out in a fit of laughter, his hair was all messed up, strands were standing up, other parts looked drenched in sweat as they hung over his forehead while the rest seemed to become thinner than before.

Calm down Udon, just think, The Creator said I’ll get a handle on my Ghost Seed after each use, just think about what you want it to do. I closed my eyes and pulled out my Ghost Seed holding it tightly in both my hands, I felt the magical energy flowing through my body and into the seed and back into my body, I could feel my feet starting to warm up, was I gaining mana through my surroundings?

“Master Udon watch out!” I opened my eyes to see ten players surrounding me, they had their weapons drawn and swung them high above their head, if this doesn’t work I’m going to die here

“Hear my words dungeon, I The Hero Weapon of the Dungeon ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons Ghost Seed flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of The Shadows’ Shadow Ball!”

“Ghost Seed?” Laimus muttered.

“Whaaa!”

“Get out…!”

“Arrrr!” A single but massive Shadow Ball appeared from my hands and sucked up all the players surrounding me inside of it, after a short while the shadow ball imploded sending a shock wave through out the floor, the players that were sucked up were sent flying in the explosion, I had no idea if they were dead or alive. I on the other hand collapsed to my knees, my MP was back down to single digits, 5, but the shadow ball itself did not harm me.

*Shadow Ball Mastery-3/10

*Basic Mana Increasement Mastery-4/10

*Ghost Seed Mastery-1/10

“What!? I don’t know what trick you just pulled, intimidating a Hero Weapon Incantation, just how cowardly can you get” Laimus looked on at the carnage that I had just caused.

“Girls! Take them out!” I shouted out pushing down on my sword to help me up

“On it Master Udon”

“I’ll get them Papa Udon”

“Of course Sir Udon”

“I won’t let you down Hero Udon” All four girls dashed out and took two players each except for Miko and Serena who took on three.

“They won’t save you”

*Pow

Laimus had walked over to me and smashed the hilt of his sword into the side of my head, I immediately went to ground, my head was ringing, my vision blurry, I could feel the cold sensation of blood running down my cheek

“I didn’t want to ruin that pretty face of your’s, I’ll have to ask Charlie to fix it up for me, don’t worry she might not be the best healer and her methods are rather painful for the patient, but you’ll be good as new after. A brand new toy! I can’t wait!” I regained my vision to see Laimus grab my hand and lick his lips

“Get off me!” I kicked him in the chest pushing him back, he squinted and gritted his teeth back at me

“Just give up already!” Laimus came back charging at me, I jumped to me feet and parried his swing but than went flying through the air and smashed into the side of the snowy mountain

“You pathetic insolent little shit! You really think a cheap and poorly made sword can ever stand up to the Dungeons Sword! Ha! I guess the saying ‘beauty comes at the price of stupidity’ was referring to people like you” Laimus held out his sword again and began incanting.

“Hear my words dungeon, I The Hero Weapon of the Second Floor ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons Sword flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of Light’ Fallen Angel!”

A light yellow and white glow appeared around Laimus and disappeared a short time after

“If you don’t know what I just did, I raised my own attack power, it can be used on an entire party but they are just slowing me down” Laimus grinned at me and pointed the tip of his sword towards my chest

“Hear my words dungeon, I The Hero Weapon of the Second Floor ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons Sword flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of Light’ Bolt Break!”

A single strike of lightning appeared from the tip of his sword and rushed towards the air at me, the crackling sound it made as it flew through the air was intensified with the echoes from the mountain, I could hear the sizzle it made as it aimed right at me.

“Master Udon!” I turned to see Miko slice one of the players neck with her blade and block the other twos attacks, if I get hit by this attack he’ll go after the girls next.

“Arrr!” I manage to push off the mountain with my feet and jump right beneath the incoming lightning strike

*Bang

The bolt of lightning hit the mountain sending debris over the area, I got hit by some fairly large chunks of ice and rock, they burnt my skin on impact from the heat the lightning bolt accumulated.

“Pretty impressive for a low level player, I heard your Gem was crystal clear, I wonder how you managed to do that?” Laimus rushed in and swang his sword down at me. I rolled to the side and swept his legs sending him down to the ground, I jumped on top of him and punched him with all the strength I had left. I had dropped my sword before I jumped, I had no other weapons except the Ghost Seed.

“Get off me!” Laimus shouted as I gave him a series of left and right hard punches to his cheeks, blood spat out of his mouth along with a tooth or two, his cheeks were already black and blue. For all the talk and strength he possessed with that sword of his, his close combat is nothing.

“Die! Die! Die you loser!” I shouted out giving him another series of punches

“Get off me!” Laimus managed to grab his sword and thrusted it over my body and down towards me

“Whoa!” I jumped off him and face planted into the snow, I rolled on my back and saw the sword had impaled Laimus’s shoulder, blood was spurting out of the wound, he looked at his shoulder in shock. How stupid can you be! Even if you managed to hit me, the sword would have just gone through me into you

“Arrr! Help me you weak fools! I can’t move! The sword is stuck in the ground!” Laimus shouted out to the other players to help him, but when I looked around there was only three players left, Miko and Umi were just about to finish off their last one and Vnaa had just given a hard kick to the back off her last opponents head, I saw the other one Vnaa had defeated and she only looked knocked out, but the ones Serena, Umi and Miko had fought all looked dead. The two players lying at Serena’s feet were missing both their arms and their faces looked to be burnt to a crisp, Umi’s had been impaled by her Sea Trident while Miko’s had cuts all over their bodies and either their wrist or neck was slashed. Damn, these girls are ruthless, I guess that’s the difference between us, they understanding taking a life in order to protect your own is just the matter of living in this world.

“You’ll die here, all those people you have killed in order for yourself to gain power will finally rest in peace!” I was only assuming he had killed people for his own twisted pleasure, I mean the creepy, disgusting shit he said he’d do to me was more than enough to relate just how messed up this boy is in the head

“Ha! A f-fool like you c-can’t kill me!” Laimus looked at me with a sinister smile, the blood he spat out covered his black and blue face, it was a disgusting sight to witness

“I won’t be weak anymore!” I picked up my sword and raised it above his chest

“Arrrr” I thrusted the sword at his chest

*Clang

“What the…..Arrr!” A object was thrown into my sword and my sword was jolted from my hands and flown into the snow, I turned to see where that object came from only to be kicked in the face and flown to where my sword was

“Lover Laimus, I wish you would tell me when you were going on adventures like this” A big muscular man pulled the sword out of Laimus’s shoulder. He had what looked to be tribal tattoos on both of his huge biceps, he wore an unbuttoned brown leather vest, with grey cargo pants, he had black boots on and also a scar across his hairy chest, all in all in was a pretty weird get up.

“Lover Laimus, please stay still why I heal you” A tall but smaller brunette girl appeared behind the muscular man, she cast what I think was a healing spell on the injured Laimus, he withered in pain while she was doing it but after she was done his wound was completely healed. She wore a pink feather in her braided hair, a sideless dark crimson red dress with black boots.

“I’ll get you back for this! You’ll become my new lover” Laimus shouted out, he didn’t look real threatening being cradled by a huge man. There was two others with them, one looked to be a small slave girl, she wore chains around her neck and arms, her face was bruised and dirty and it looked like she had animals ears, although I couldn’t tell what kind, she only wore what seemed to be a worn out potato sack with a piece of rope around her waist. The other was a skinny, lanky man, he had dark brown hair and piercing hazel eyes, this one wasn’t a slave, he wore brown green trousers with a brown zig zag pattern running down both his legs, a skin tight long sleeve black shirt and carried a bloody machete, if I remember correctly it looked like a Tapanga type machete.

“Lover Laimus, we must go, Neptune has set fire to the town surrounding the eleventh floor stairs, if we do not leave now we might not be able to jump up to the thirteenth floor” The Machete guy told Laimus

“Count your luck! Where’s my play thing? Come here now” Laimus shouted to me and called over the slave girl

“Ow” He gave the slave girl a hard slap across her face, the hit broke her skin slightly and he licked the blood of his fingers watching the girl wither in pain on the snow

“Get her up, lets go!” Laimus ordered his party, in a blink of an eye the five of them disappeared

“Master Udon!” Miko ran over to me and helped me up

“Sir Udon, are you hurt?” I looked around my body, and besides from a couple of bruises and maybe some broken ribs, I wasn’t injured at all

“I’m all good Umi, how are you four” Vnaa and Serena ran over to me and just smiled in response

“We’re fine” Serena replied

“I didn’t think we would get out of that, we held up pretty good” I looked at the bodies scattered around the area, the mountain looked destroyed in some parts, but with a bit of snow fall it would cover up the holes, the dead bodies might attract some monsters though

“We should start to move, monsters or other players will be heading this way, I think I heard that Neptune had set aflame to the town as well” If that was true than getting past the next floor would be a pain

“What about him Hero Udon” Serena pointed to the fallen body of the little God boy Nino

“Check if his ok, but we should head out soon” Serena walked over to Nino’s body and picked him up

“His still alive, I shall bring him with us” Ok…I didn’t see an issue with it

“Let’s get going” I told the girls, we headed towards the desert, I remember seeing a small cave on the side of the snowy mountain over looking the desert.
