Reincarnated as a Phoenix

Chapter 77 - Dungeon Ten

(Ikarus) "Seriously, which way do we go?"

(Zeki) "The fuck would I know?"

(Ariza) "This place isn't very nice"

"..."

We've already entered the last dungeon and we already know what the theme might be, clearly it must be based around escaping or something similar. The second we walked through the entrance into this place after heading through the cave, the walls closed up trapping us, then it almost felt like an elevator going deep into the earth. It's stopped now and none of us know which direction to head in, there are four different doorways around us in this cube looking box to go through but this clearly isn't going to be easy if it's a dungeon, at least from what we know right now.

There isn't much to describe though, the cube just looks slightly metal, maybe steel looking and the doors look the exact same, that's really all about it.

"I swear I've seen a movie like this before"

"Really? How did it go orangey?"

"Erm... pretty sure only one person lived and the rooms kept moving about as well"

...

Well I've just killed our spirits, we'll be fine though! We're immortal phoenixes after all, maybe not immortal but compared to most humans we are. That's really the only thing I remember about that movie though, it was one of those films where nearly everyone needed to die because of 'plot' reasons. Forget it, need to focus on the situation, Petra seems to be concerned on something now.

"There is another problem though, pretty sure this place is slowly killing us"

"What do you mean older sis?"

"Uh huh?"

"Yeah, what Petra?"

We all ask her what the issue is but none of us seem to know the reason why Petra said that.

"Can feel a slight effect, almost like my health is draining but it's also not"

As soon as Petra's says that, Aesa can't help but confirm something.

[<-User's- health is currently being affected while in current dungeon>]

'Lemme check my status then'

[Name: Ikarus | Species: Phoenix | Level: 97]

[Health 29,370*/30,000*]

[Stamina 7,816*/10,000*]

[Magicka 30,000*/30,000*]

[You currently have 3500 unassigned points]

'Huh? I swear that's how it should be; my health hasn't lost any more than it should've'

[<-User's- current health has an unknown effect adding to it, effect doesn't allow any lost health to regenerate while under dungeon conditions>]

'So I can't regenerate health down here? I guess Petra was a little mistaken then. Does healing counter it?'

[<Unfortunately negative, target -Ariza- or potion -healent- will not counter the stagnant regeneration>]

Well that adds another risk element to this place, it seems me and Petra aren't the only people who have this effect also now.

"Uh, I feel that as well now"

"Err, couldn't you have told me that a second ago? You fucking idiot!..."

Ariza seems to understand what the effect is and Zeki's clearly having a go at his system voice.

"... What do you mean you didn't know? It literally is your job to know!..."
