As they were about to leave the hidden chamber, the sound of rubble shifting and stone grating against stone echoed through the tunnel. They tensed, preparing for another fight.
Keshav motioned for Jasmine to stay behind him, holding his sword at the ready. "Stay close. We don't know what's coming."
They waited tensely, listening intently for any clues as to what was coming towards them. The sound got louder, and soon they could make out the shuffling of heavy footsteps and labored breathing.
Suddenly, a group of figures emerged from the darkness of the tunnel. They were grotesque creatures, their bodies twisted and misshapen. Some had limbs that seemed to extend far beyond their natural limits, while others had unnatural protrusions and growths that made them look like walking nightmares.
Keshav's grip tightened on his sword. "What are those things? They look like something straight out of a nightmare."
Jasmine shuddered at the sight of the creatures. "I don't know, but they're not natural. They must have been affected by some kind of dark magic or experimentation."
The creatures advanced towards them, their movements jerky and disjointed. As they drew closer, they began to babble incoherently, their voices a mixture of guttural growls and high-pitched cackling.
Then Keshav easily cutted them down using his skill
The creatures fell to the ground, motionless and silent. Keshav surveyed the area, making sure that there were no more threats lurking in the shadows.
Jasmine said "Lets go find boss monster and kill it"
Keshav nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a plan. Let's go find the boss monster and finish this dungeon."
They made their way back through the tunnel, their senses heightened in case any more creatures decided to attack them. As they walked, Jasmine's mind drifted back to the crystal pyramid in her subspace. It was a powerful artifact, something that could reshape the world in the wrong hands.
Keshav noticed her distraction. "You're thinking about the artifact, aren't you?"
She nodded, her expression solemn. "Yeah. It's hard to get it out of my head. The power it holds... it's both incredible and terrifying."
Keshav placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll figure out what to do with it. For now, let's focus on finishing this dungeon and getting out of here."
Then keshav continued "We don't need it. If you want i can cut it with my skill."
Jasmine hesitated for a moment, considering Keshav's suggestion. Destroying the artifact would mean ending its potential threat for good, but it also felt wrong to simply throw away something so powerful.
Finally, she shook her head. "No, let's keep it for now. Despite its power, it's still an incredible artifact. We can figure out what to do with it when we leave this dungeon."
Then they continued to kill monsters on the way of boss.
The further they went, the stronger the monsters became. They fought their way through hordes of creatures, their skills and teamwork making short work of even the toughest opponents.
Finally, they reached the final chamber. It was a vast space, the ceiling disappearing into darkness above them. At the far end of the room stood a massive figure, its body covered in chitinous plating and claws that dripped with viscous goo.
Jasmine and Keshav brought up their status window, checking their level. Jasmine was at level 83 while Keshav was level 86. They had leveled up twice in this dungeon.
"We're getting stronger," Keshav said with satisfaction. "This boss isn't going to know what hit him."
Jasmine nodded, her eyes fixed on the boss monster. "Let's do this. This time i want take boss monster down in no time."
They stood amidst the crumbled and broken remains of the boss monster, the dust settling around them. Jasmine's heart pounded in her chest as she brought up her status window, her level now reading 85.
Jasmine smiled, without showing any exhaustion as it was very easy for them to kill monsterswith their skills. "Yeah, but so do you. You're leveling up quicker than me now."
Jasmine used her skill and easily extracted the heart stone and nexus stone from the shattered remains of the boss monster. The stones glowed with a dim, pulsing light, their power barely contained within them.
Jasmine held them up, studying the stones closely. "These are powerful. We'll need them to power up our skills even further."
I spanked her "Did you forgot nexus stone don't affect our cheat skill."
Jasmine giggled as Keshav spanked her. "No, I didn't forget. But we can still use them to power up our other skills. And who knows, maybe they'll come in handy in some unexpected way."
Keshav sighed "We could but no one had discovered how to obtain new skills yet, if they had they are not making it public"
Jasmine nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face. "You're right. It seems like no one's figured out how to obtain new skills yet. It's frustrating, but I guess we just have to keep trying and see if we can stumble upon something."
Keshav said "Lets keep nexus stone with us for now instead of selling it."
Jasmine nodded in agreement. "Good idea. We never know when it might come in handy. For now, let's keep it with us and continue to search for more information about new skills."
Then they were teleported out.
Keshav and Jasmine found themselves standing outside the dungeon, the sunlight blinding them for a moment after the darkness of the dungeon. When their eyes adjusted to the brightness, they surveyed their surroundings, taking in the fresh air and sunlight.
Jasmine stretched and let out a sigh of relief. "Feels good to be out of that dungeon. I didn't realize how much I missed the outdoors."
Keshav nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was starting to feel claustrophobic in there. But at least we made it out safe and sound, and we got some powerful upgrades too."
As their phones got network after coming out of dungeon they got many notifications from Player Association.
