Chapter 102: Going Deeper Pt.1
The elevator stopped and Lake said. "Hey Joy." When he saw her head move when he said her name Lake knew she was back to normal. "Hey Lake, they told me you wouldn't be back for a few days." Lake wondered who had said that to her and why but it wasn't surprising that people would be talking about him inside the guild, so he didn't ask.
"Are you in the mood to go into the dungeon today?" This wasn't a real question because no one liked to go into the dungeon, but Lake knew Joy couldn't refuse, so he was sort of messing with her. "Of course let's go." Once they were inside it didn't take Lake too long to get to the deepest he had ever been into the dungeon.
It was about 6 torches deep if you just kept heading straight. Most of the time they went all over the place because they were looking for weak undead to earn easy Exp so it usually took them a while to get this deep. The dungeon was like a web of tunnels leading all over the place so it was actually kind of hard to know where, and how deep you were at any given time.
When you weren't in a lit place it also had a darkness akin to what it was like while inside the forest during the massacre. Getting into the next tunnel to go even deeper Joy asked. "Are you sure this is about how deep the guards clear so we're going to start to run into actual undead that can do things other than run and swing their arms at you."
Lake had found undead more interesting since he had seen Domare make that undead giant out of a pile of dead bodies and a giant chunk of meat. "What kind of things can they do?" He wanted to know what to expect. "Undead as a race or whatever you want to call them are naturally gifted in Unholy and Dark magic as their mana is naturally already those two elements. Other races like us have plain mana when we are born, and only change it into an element once you choose to so you can try and ascend to godhood."
Lake knew you could change your mana into different elements so you could cast spells with it but he didn't really know you could make that change permanent. He guessed it made sense since the gods were literally the ones who put the elemental mana into the world and this made him wonder about the voices you heard when you used spells for the first time.
He didn't know if this was a good plan or not though because he didn't know how many were down here. So far the most he had seen in one tunnel was four and there were about 20000 tunnels down here supposedly, so at most he would have to kill 80000 undead which he could probably do in a few years.
Lake laughed at his very sarcastic math he had just done because it was hilarious, and thinking about that actually being correct was ridiculous. He also couldn't help but think that if the number of undead was actually that high it could potentially be a massive security risk if the Demon Lord was somehow able to get control of them.
Lake thought maybe that was why there were barriers that kept the undead from getting anywhere near the gate that the guards were at. Lake had never really thought about the reason the guards were there at all. He guessed they were there to keep an eye on the dungeon in case anything weird started to happen.
Getting into the next lit room Joy stopped him before he could go into the next tunnel. "Past this point there are no more torches, so it will be pitch dark from now on." So far every room Lake had been to had had one and he had been treating them like a goal every time he went into a tunnel so hearing there would be no more light at all was not something he liked even if he had been expecting it.
"What about the barriers?" They were more important than the lights because they made the tunnels more safe so he was hoping for more. "No the torches are what create the barrier, the undead can't get close to them." If Lake had thought about this he might have figured this out by himself.
"Have you ever been past this point?" Lake was looking at Joy so he could see her shake her head as she said. "No, it's against the rules for us to go this deep without orders to do so, and since there are no reasons to tell us to unless they want to kill us I've never been sent in."
"Do you think we should?" Joy shook her head even harder and said. "There's nothing in there other than undead that have been down here for years." Lake could see why Joy would think this because she couldn't see the Mark like he could, so to her he was just being overly curious.
"I'll be right back." Lake took a few steps into the tunnel to see if it was packed full or if it was oddly quiet like he thought it was. He could usually hear undead in a tunnel before he went into it but he couldn't this time. He could only see about ten feet because of the blinding effect from the Dark mana but he couldn't see any undead in the ten feet he could see.
Backing out of the tunnel, Lake said to Joy. "Let's go down this tunnel first then make a choice. This is the last tunnel where they won't be able to come from behind us so we might as well." Joy seemed reluctant but followed him in, and they started walking at a snail's pace with their ears peeled for any noise.
