We came with Acorn, Brisingra, Nieve, Gandalf, and Angelina, while leaving Erdrich and Anikitty behind alongside Jenny, so they could help out Ambil do his job and sell his product to the big new amount of customers coming today.
Despite there not being any more discounts, the quality of the products and the rumors of Player Planta making them spread everywhere, and now people from all over were coming to buy our products.
I guess my name is really quite popular, huh? It makes sense, most of my videos have already broke through three million views by now… It wouldn't be out of place to say I'm a BNLO influencer!
Though, that's a bit embarrassing now that I think about it…
"So why did you even come? Angelina would have been enough." Mark said, looking at Gandalf.
"I had to come and see with my own eyes how Planta can manipulate Runes! And of course, the Great Spirit she has tamed." Gandalf said. "What? Can't a man with passion over magic not have some little indulgence for once? Why are you so bothered, Titan?"
"Nothing…" Mark said while keeping silent.
I guess he got slightly jealous, Gandalf has been acting a bit obsessive with me and the spirit since we told him we could manipulate Runes to an extent. That's rather cute of him.
"Don't worry about him, he's just someone obsessed with magic, not me." I laughed. "He's not a creep, right Angelina?"
"Yes, Gandalf is a decent man." Angelina nodded. "He's just a bit weird when it comes to magic things… But that's just his obsession with wizards in general. We've meet IRL sometimes, he's a good guy, really."
"Why are you treating me like I'm some sort of pervert?! I'm just trying to be friendly and learn at the same time! Did I come as too obsessive, Planta?!" Asked Gandalf, trying to get closer to me, but Mark got in the way.
"Keep your distance buddy." Mark said.
"Ugh… Seriously…" Gandalf sighed. "Okay, I apologize…"
"It's fine, it's fine. Let's get along." I smiled. "Anyways, Acorn, can you smell anything?"
"Sniff, sniff…" Acorn's sense of smell was really good. "Yes, I can smell the scent of miasma and nether down there. Over there!"
Without even having to follow the trails left behind by the Spirits, we reached the hidden dungeon's entrance, which was an invisible barrier that brought us to the entrance.
[You are the first ones to discover the [Hidden Dungeon: Laboratory Of Madness]!]
[The Hidden Dungeon's depths invite you to step further…]
"We're here then." I said, looking at the message, I closed my eyes. "{Spiritual Senses}"
I spread my senses around us, as I tried to sense if there was anything down there we could find. Of course, the Spiritual Sense was a special normal Spell I had created by combining Spiritual Energy and Mana Sense, not within a Skill.
So naturally, Gandalf and Angelina were shocked to see me expand my senses so far with almost zero cost of MP at that.
"What was that Skill?" Asked Angelina in surprise. "You expanded your senses so seamlessly!"
"Was it a normal Spell?! I've heard some Players that have seen magician NPC conjure spells without using Skills, was it that?!" Gandalf asked while steam was coming from his nose.
"Y-Yeah… Can you calm down a bit?" I sighed. "Once you learn Runic Scripture, creating your own Spells based in your existing Skills or knowledge becomes easy. Now… Hm? The place seems awfully silent and empty. Did you slain all monsters?"
"Yeah, if there aren't any more there it means they won't respawn, it must be a unique-instance dungeon then." Angelina analyzed the situation.
"What's that?" Acorn wondered.
"It's when a Dungeon only spawns once with monsters that only appear once. The monsters won't respawn and once you defeat the boss, the dungeon either disappears or stays as an empty ruin." Angelina explained. "It's usually related with Story Quests and are not open to the public!"
"I see, quite interesting." Brisingra wondered. "Well, I really want to stretch my legs and fight something to level up, so let's go!" The Princess of Dwarves was the first one to step into the dungeon, rushing downstairs.
"W-Wait a bit, Brisingra, don't rush it!" I sighed, following her, everyone else quickly came alongside me.
"For an NPC she's sure very lively and with the desire to grow stronger…" Angelina said. "Well, that shouldn't be rare, NPC in this game are very complex, they must be using the latest AI Learning to create such complex artificial minds. You could even say they have souls of their own."
"Y-Yeah… The NPC of this world are people just like us, so never treat them badly." I said. "Make sure to always be nice to them, not only for being interested on what they could give to you, but just as basic human decency."
"We'll keep that in note…" Gandalf nodded.
"I've always treated the people of this virtual world fairly. Though, I've meet other Players that are always overly rude…" Sighed Angelina. "I wish people could be more considered, we're in their world after all."
"You really get it." Nodded Mark.
"I have no idea what you're even talking about…" Acorn scratched his head. "But isn't that the barrier?" He pointed at the distance.
"Oh, we're already at the end of the stairs?" Nieve wondered.
"I guess we ended getting down quickly with all the talk." Angelina smiled, patting the barrier of magic. "So this is the thing… Can you do it?"
"Hmmm…" The Great Spirit appeared in front of us. "Yeah, this is literally the same type of barrier that we destroyed back then. Alright… Let's do this and that. Planta, come help me too."
We concentrated our minds, closing our eyes, and imbuing our Mana into the barrier slowly, I saw all the thousands of runes making the barrier, and one by one, I started to grab the runes and move them away.
Eventually, a domino effect occurred, and the entire barrier became incredibly unstable, enough for Angelina's Light Spear to pierce through it and shatter it into pieces!
