The Dungeon Lord

Chapter 8: The Eternal Dungeon (Part 2)

We started moving on. As we walked down yet another set of stairs I had a bad feeling a out the floor to come. Harley turned out to be a great solo fighter, but she was terrible at helping others after she finished off her monsters as we did. This floor was filled with Orcs. There was quite the variety of sizes of them as well. Some were scrawny and used magic, some were huge and buff using giant clubs to attack. We struggled against some of the larger beasts, but we finished them all off fairly quickly with teamwork.

We finally came to one of the huge rooms we have come to be more familiar with. I noticed this was was much taller though. As we looked forward we saw a giant orc with headgear and a necklace made of skulls. He had blood on him using it as tribal paint. He stood up and roared. Bloody hell that was a powerful yell. No way he made that sound. Is there another monster here? I thought to myself. As we started walking towards him Gerith appeared behind him and slit his throat. The problem was it barely cut the skin. I tried using magic, but my bolts and spells simply reflected off of him. "Shit" I mumbled as I ran towards the towering beast. I used Boost on me as I jumped and  unsheathed my dagger. I twirled a few times slashing at him mid air before I felt a thump on my side, shooting pain quickly flowed throughout my body, and I was sent flying and rolling at least 20 yards. Fredrick and Harley met the same fate. I noticed a small cave as Gerith appeared again. I also noticed the back of its neck looked different. "Gerith!" I shouted after he slashed and failed. As he appeared I leaned in and whispered to him. "Tell the other two what I just said. Also tell Clare to stay back." I said as I ran starting my plan. As Gerith left the others and they got up running towards the Orc I started on my part of the plan and ran around it towards the cave. I figured there was a mage there. What I found instead sent me running. Gerith appeared again saying "What was there my Leige?"

"Something far worse than that Orc it was a blo-" that is when it burst through the wall. A massive dark Blue Dragon. As I kept running I looked back as it stretched it's wings. It had to have a wingspan of well over 100 meters. As it took to the air me and Gerith took care of the next step of the plan and I Boosted both of us and we jumped slashing at the back of his neck. Blood splattered everywhere and a as pouring from the wound. As I thought. There are vital nerves and veins there. I thought as I dropped our Boost and Boosted Fredrick and Harley as the Orc turned towards me and Gerith. As he turn he splattered blood all over the ground. He brought both his hand in a fist and put his hands up above himself and started bringing it down towards me and Gerith. Me and him both dove to the side as the ground shook. Then we heard the Dragon roar again. We looked up and saw the Dragon coming towards us and the orc. We ran as the Dragon engulfed the orc in a fiery inferno. The heat from the blast reached us and I felt the skin on my face burning. The Dragon then came in and clawed yet back of the orc which then screamed out in agony as its blood flowed all around him before the Dragon took of its head with a single bite. Well this isn't according to plan but still is workable. "Guys. There is a lot of loot in that Dragon's lair. Problem is the Dragon. Now is it worth the risk is the thing. If we do go for it, we might have to fight the Dragon. I think it would easily kill all of us." I said. Everyone sat thinking. "We could run in there And take as much as possible or someone can distract the Dragon while the others take as much as possible. We also could stand and fight or run away. You know what that is the plan. You guys go into the cave after I draw him towards me. Just make sure your asses get me some enchanted or magic armour, books, or weapons. Plus get a tone of gold. Fill your bags with items. Then run to the stairs. I will follow you after you guys are well down the stairs. Now wait till I get him to follow me." without a word I ran away. I used Boost then ran going up the walls of the room in a spiral. When I finally saw the beast I launched several Fireballs at him. That pissed him off. I started running back down trying to avoid all the flames it sent towards me. When my foot slipped. Shit. What do I do? I thought. Then I got and idea. I aimed away from the wall and used sever Fireballs Lightningbolts and Earthblasts I then felt my foot hit the wall and I used Boost and started running once more. I kept running and I got to about 40 feet to the bottom before the Dragon flew in and destroyed a part of the wall. I started falling, but from this height I knew what to do. I got myself in position and when I got close to the ground I rolled. I felt something in my right leg snap, but the adrenaline rush was too much for me to feel the pain right now. As I started running the adrenaline started running up. I then used Repair tapping into then the glove to strengthen the spell. Still tapping into the glove just a lot less I launched a Fireball at the Dragon. As I thought it was the piercing darkness I wanted.
