TBATE Back to save you

CHAPTER 9: The beginning after the end pt II

Arthur Leywin POV

The dungeon we are riding today is SS ranked called " Pixies Labyrinth ". It is constructed of fifteen known floors and one rest area in the middle

Each floor is different and in some cases, it is made by the preferences of its guardians

First five floors don't have a guardian while floors six to fifteen all have different guardians. Each floor guardian is an AA-ranked beast, except for the last one which is S ranked

In order to go to the next floor you need to kill the guardian, take its key and then locate where the doors to the next floor are. Each floor is constructed as a maze and full of traps which makes finding the doors that much harder

The floor guardians are going like this

6th AA ranked Golem. It has average strength but it's tricky to kill because of its insane regeneration ability, the only way to kill it is by destroying its core

7th AA ranked Ice tiger. As his name suggests it has the ability to manipulate ice which makes it very hard to approach. It is also very fast so one needs to stay cautious

8th AA ranked lion king. It's a giant beast that has both great strength and speed. The most characteristic thing about is that it's guarded by a group of world lions

9th AA ranked tempest serpent. A giant purple snake that lunches lightning at its opponents

10th AA ranked sky queen. Sky Queen is a bird that manipulates wind. The most characteristic thing is that it throws sharp wind attacks at its opponents from the sky. The fact that it flies makes her that much harder to kill

11th AA ranked orc lord. An orc that has the physical strength of the S-ranked beast but its speed is at mere B rank. It usually manipulates terrain with earth magic, but it's easily countered

12th AA ranked puppet lord. A monster that has a unique ability to manipulate the corpses. If I have to compare it to something from my old world, it would be a Licht

13th AA ranked wicked fox. It has nine guardians and the ability to use illusions. Its physical strength is nothing to boast about but its speed is great. Sometimes they reach the level of an S rank, but there have never been records of such a case in this Labyrinth

14th AA ranked bee queen. It has the greatest speed out of all guardians and it has the ability to command bees, which gives her access to a virtually infinite army. It specializes in wind magic

15th S ranked Insectar guardian. An S-ranked beast that is almost as rare as an Elderwood guardian, it also has an appearance of both bug and a human, so it is considered one of the creepiest ones on the continent. It has everything, speed, defense, and strength. Its poison is one of the deadliest in all of the beast glades and its armor is said to be almost as tough as Dragon scales, regular dragons, but it's still incomparable to asuras. It has a tail with a sharp end that can penetrate through some of the toughest armors and barriers with ease. Sometimes it is looking down on its opponents with a mocking look, and it always lets one adventurer survive and escape as if it wishes for him/her to tell the tale. The only reason it is not considered as an SS rank is its low mana reserves. During the war, it was corrupted and made us a lot of trouble, so the council had to deploy a Lance, Bairon to be exact, to kill it. Unfortunately, he charged it too much so we couldn't make use of its body

On the first few floors we are going in formation where Gerd, a dwarven mage that specializes in earth magic, is in the front detecting for traps and enemies, me at the right and Jasmine on the left side as guards, healer and conjurers in the middle and Alea on the rare making sure that we don't get an old good ambush from the back
