BXBX NOVEL Chapter 817 Choosing A Dungeon
Chapter 817 Choosing A Dungeon
"So what Dungeon will you choose?" She wondered, the moment we arrived back home we sat down around the table to rest and have some snacks we bought along the way.
There were several coffee shops and bakeries nearby, so for dinner we bought a lot of cake slices, pies, cupcakes, and flavored bread, alongside cappuccinos, flavored milk, and teas.
We didn\'t felt like cooking, so we simply bought a lot of pre-made stuff and had a feast before going to the dungeon tomorrow.
Naturally, Erika\'s mom was interested in what we would be exploring. After all this is an important test for the Year 2 Students.
"We\'re still looking for a good one." Erika said, eating a bit piece of apple pie while sipping on her cookies and cream Frappuccino. "But I was thinking that something big and strong, right? The highest ranked B Rank Dungeon would be fine!"
"Is it really okay to get so cocky about it?" Wondered Evelyn. "You might have defeated a lot of demons now and all but… Still, shouldn\'t you take it easy? Go for the easiest one, please… I just don\'t want to worry anymore… Eugh."
"Hahaha, I don\'t think that\'s possible." Elizabeth laughed. "Knowing Blake…" She sighed, quickly giving it a bite to her strawberry cheesecake, and then drinking some of her favorite blend of black tea.
"He probably wants the hardest one." Eleanora nodded with Elizabeth, as she was drinking a cup with fresh demon wine I had endless storages of inside my Inventory. She was also snacking on some onion bread with ham and cheese. "And I wouldn\'t have expected anything less from my beloved master."
"The hardest?" Wondered Cattalina. "Is it true, Blake? You\'re going for the B+++ Rank Dungeon?"
"Yeah…" I nodded. "I had already considered it. Though, this is the first time I\'m admitting it. I hope you guys don\'t chicken out." I smiled.
"We\'re not! I\'ll gladly walk into the depths of hell!" Chris said. "After all I\'m a master of fire and all…" He smiled confidently.
Recently, he has gotten some attention from girls as well. However, aside from a few dates, he hasn\'t been able to find someone that was genuinely interested in him and not just on his fame. Though, he had become more confident and has stopped whining.
"I guess there\'s no point in me whining about it either…" Eric sighed. "Though, I\'m quite nervous, but… It\'s fine, as long as we all go together."
"Don\'t be nervous, it\'s going to be alright. We\'ve grown plenty strong ourselves!" Alberta said. "Last time Blake checked our Status, we were soon to reach max level, so we could try getting to that point while we are at it!"
"I agree…" Elfriedden nodded. "Let\'s do this… B+++ Rank or whatever, what\'s happening on my kingdom\'s way worse anyways. So, what Dungeon is it though?"
"Yeah, which Dungeon is the B+++ Rank Dungeon?" Wondered Erdrich. "I\'m quite curious…"
"The only Dungeon that\'s B+++ Rank in the whole city." I smiled. "It\'s a Dungeon I\'ve been looking forward to exploring for a while, now that we\'re finally strong enough, it\'s time to get there and plunder its riches… The Red Dragon\'s Volcanic Labyrinth."
"Red Dragon?!" Asked Chris in surprise. "W-Wait a second! You mean an actual real dragon? Like the White Dragon living in the mountains near our town that didn\'t allowed people to mine there for the mithril?"
"Yeah, though this is a Dragon that lives inside a Dungeon, therefore, it is much more restrained in power compared to the Wild Dragons out there." I explained.
"Indeed, it is as my son-in-law said." Cattalina nodded. "The Red Dragon, still, is a very formidable foe. He is as strong as an A+ Rank Monster, actually. Because of this, the B+++ Rank Dungeon is usually treated as an A Rank Dungeon at the very least… Though, certainly, it is possible to clear it to complete the test…"
"We\'ll fight a real dragon?" Wondered Erika. "That\'s… amazing. Maybe I could become stronger if I drink its blood or eat the meat and heart? After all, I am part dragon…"
"It could work, I had thought about it." I nodded. "I\'ve reserved the Dungeon for the rest of the month. With the platinum card it was easy to do so much, and not many people enter it to begin with…"
"T-Then it sounds like a plan!" Eric said nervously. "Woah, I was so confident but hearing we\'ll fight an actual dragon… it fills me with a lot of thrill."
"I\'ve seen Dragons before, back in my continent…" Said Alberta. "They roam the Mountains we inhabit. And are a constant problem to us. Though, some are wild, there are other smart dragons, which have their own culture and form large families. We have some that were our allies…"
"Interesting, so not all dragons are dumb winged lizards?" Asked Erika with a giggle.
"Of course they aren\'t!" Elfriedden sighed. "In fact, Fafnir, that damned Dragon King is making a real mess of the continent where I came from! I\'ve heard he\'s a corrupted and cunning being, smarter and more merciless than us elves."
"I have heard about him a lot already, Elfriedden…" I sighed. "Anyways, let\'s eat to our heart\'s contents before we start getting ready for tomorrow\'s expedition. I plan to complete the dungeon that very day, so we can visit it multiple times through the month! I don\'t think we\'ll be able to hit max level with a single visit, so make sure to get prepared, we\'ll be working harder than ever before."
"Alright, bring it in!" Erika was pumped up. "I\'m going to get to Rank 4 and get a new Spirit!"
"Me too!" Elizabeth was also excited. "And… then we can go enjoy our long summer vacations back home, it will be nice~"
"I can\'t wait for that too!" Erika agreed. "Right, Eleanora? We\'ll have Blake all for ourselves by then!"
"Indeed." Eleanora giggled joyously.
