CH.3 Escape the Dungeon
<span style="font-weight:400">Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang
<span style="font-weight:400">Wall of the cave is now showingrge cracks. It will fall soon.
<span style="font-weight:400">(30 seconds until the wall breaks. I rmend summoning your monsters now.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure.” I hold Uraby in my left hand and call out. “I summon Uraby.”
<span style="font-weight:400">A card appears on the ground and from it a 3 meter tall dinosaur rises. Luckily it fits in this room. The summoning took about 3 seconds.
<span style="font-weight:400">I hold Sparks and Frenzied Panda in my right hand, but decide not to summon panda yet. But sparks will fly as soon as that walles down.
<span style="font-weight:400">(Master, are you not going to summon ‘Frenzied Panda’?)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Not yet. I need it as a surprise. I also don’t want it to get caught in Urabys attack. The summoning is fast enough that I can do it in an emergency.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Understood. The wall ising down in 9, 8, 7,)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. Let’s do this.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Bang, Bang, Bang, CRASH
<span style="font-weight:400">The wall falls and a tunnel 3 meters wide and tall is behind it. The tunnel is filled with little green jerks. So those are goblins. I don’t see any kobolds though. Maybe they are hiding behind the goblins. Well that doesn’t matter now.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Go, Sparks!” I yell while holding the sparks card in my hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">From the card in my hand, mes burst forth. As the mes reach the goblins I already begin to see the first ones falling. That was super effective. It’s actually kinda weird. The mes don’t feel hot. Is it because I am the caster or…
<span style="font-weight:400">(Masters cards are not fire magic. They are instant damage that looks like fire. That is why it does not feel hot.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. The goblins are not charred at all.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Correct.)
<span style="font-weight:400">As system support answers me the Sparks card in my hand vanishes, just like Pot of Greed earlier. Spells must be one time use. I should ask system about itter.
<span style="font-weight:400">After flying down the corridor, the mes die down leaving a carpet of corpses in their wake. That’s going to be a lot of clean up. I really hope I don’t have to pull ears off of those goblins.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How many died to sparks?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(76 Master. I underestimated the power of ‘Sparks’.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nice. How many are left in this tunnel before we reach the next room?)
<span style="font-weight:400">(38 Master.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. Let’s see what this dino can do. Uraby move towards the tunnel!”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Master the tunnel is quite tight for ‘Uraby’. It might not be able to fight at full strength there.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s still a dinosaur against some goblins. It will do fine.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“ROAR” Uraby lets out a mighty roar before charging in.
<span style="font-weight:400">Uraby begins its charge over the corpses. Like system support said, its head almost reaches the roof. But, almost doesn’t count. Like they say in Yugioh, only thest lifepoint matters. Unless your opponent runs Exodia.
<span style="font-weight:400">I follow behind Uraby and see it running past the goblins and kobolds tearing them to pieces with its ws, stomping on the unlucky ones and crushing the survivors to the walls with its tail. I think it''s even eating some of them. It’s a lot more effective than I thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sorry panda but I don’t think you are gonna get a turn.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I trade the Frenzied Panda card in my right hand with <span style="font-weight:400">Kagemusha of the Blue me that I ced in my right pocket earlier. If I have to summon another monster I think a smaller one willbo better with the dinosaur as it will be able to protect me better.
<span style="font-weight:400">(Master, survivors ahead. 2 kobolds and 1 goblin. Goblin is heavily wounded but can still move. Kobolds have minor wounds.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. Come forth Kagemusha of the Blue me!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Again a card appears on the ground and from it a tall muscr male holding a sword rises. He kneels before me and asks.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is my mission, my Master?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You can talk?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes Master. What is my mission?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Him talking catches me off guardpletely. I mean he is humanoid but still. I regain myposure quickly and answer.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m getting out of this dungeon. I sent Uraby ahead and he is cleaning up most of the monsters, but there are some survivors. I want you to kill the survivors and keep me safe.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes Master.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Kage raises up to a standing position. I kinda feel intimidated by him. Like I’m not small at 175 cm tall but this guy is more like 195 cm and full of muscle. How does he only have 800 attack? This makes no sense.
<span style="font-weight:400">Kage makes quick work of the surviving kobolds and goblin that system warned me about earlier and the two of us move through the corridor.
<span style="font-weight:400">Along the way to catch up with Uraby we find another four survivors. All of them are kobolds. Are kobolds just better at dodging than goblins. Well at least Kage is doing a great job.
<span style="font-weight:400">As I think that I take a look at Urabys card that is in my left hand. It has developedrge scratches on its surface. The card that used to look mint, now looks like its been yed with for years.
<span style="font-weight:400">“System, why does Urabys card look this damaged?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(It is reflecting how much damage ‘Uraby’ has taken.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Really? So I guess all these goblins and kobolds are getting some hits in.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Most of the damage is likely self caused by ‘Uraby’. It is hitting its tail and ws on the walls and the ground. That is my estimation given the state of the survivors. I do not think that these monsters have the time to worry about how to attack, when all their focus should be on survival.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“But you said all the monsters were super aggressive cause I broke the dungeon core.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Yes, but they will still want to survive. They only get mad because the dungeon is their home and it also feeds them.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s hope Uraby doesn’t die of self inflicted damage before we get out of here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(I do not think that will be a problem.)
<span style="font-weight:400">Making our way out of the dungeon, I realize how small this dungeon really is. It’s only two floors. It has 7rger rooms that were used by the monsters as some kinda base. Total survivors of sparks and Uraby were 14. 10 kobolds and 4 goblins. Not that they survived Kagemushas sword.
<span style="font-weight:400">I can see Uraby ahead standing by the exit.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Finally, some sunlight.”
