"Grind some levels?" Asked Lucifer. "I guess… I had not thought about it. However, I had originally believed this dungeon was weakened upon conquering it."
"Yeah, didn't that happened to the other one?" Asked Emeraldine.
"Let me explain to you, my dears." I said while suddenly changing my clothes into those of a teacher. At the same time, I summoned a board from my Inventory and began drawing over it, showing two dungeons.
"Affnaria Dungeon was always just weak! Pathetically weak. Lucifer was sealed in there and all, but the dungeon originally wasn't something beyond E Rank in difficulty." I said. "However, due to the Vampires' schemes, they used the lives of people to create a ritual that infused their many souls inside the dungeon. Dungeons feed primarily on souls which they convert into mana and power. this way the dungeon gained great strength, temporarily capable of bringing enormously strong monsters. They even added miasma into the mix, making the dungeon gain a greater and eviler consciousness which had planned to run over the entire Affnaria Duchy. Thankfully, we heroically defeated this dungeon's schemes… However!"
The board quickly changed as I showed how that when we defeated the monsters and I conquered the dungeon, I ended eating all the Miasma and the dungeon was cleansed. Without the miasma the dungeon weakened severely because it was already incredibly weak.
"The dungeon was weakened as it was finally completed and I conquered it. So it simply went back to its original level of strength! I know it is sad and all, but that's how life is." I sighed. "However this dungeon was always powerful. The miasma inside was provoked by a fragment of the evil god. Once this was cleansed the dungeon simply stayed strong because it was already strong. However, this dungeon is too STRONG, which means that once it accumulates enough Mana, it will poop it all out into countless monsters. So we are going to repurpose this option and just summon them all so we can constantly level up. Yeah it is a simple reason I shouldn't had explained it all ."
"I see, so this dungeon was just madly strong!?" Asked Lucifer.
"There are dungeons like that. Weak and strong, like monsters in the wild." Said Brunhild. "To tell you the truth, this dungeon should had been way stronger. However, it was split in half."
"Split in half?!" We asked in unison.
Brunhild suddenly started talking about some info we didn't even knew before.
"Now that I've recovered after sleeping and eating nutritious things for a while, my memories have begun to flourish once more within my mind." Brunhild said. "I remembered a powerful Divine Lightning falling from the skies long ago, before the dwarves arrived at the mountains. The two mountains, this one and where the dwarves are living, used to be an enormous, single mountain. However, this divine lightning that came from the skies suddenly split it in half. Over time, it turned into just two twin mountains. The dungeon, the biggest one, which held the large evil god fragment was split in half as well, so it became two dungeons, this one and the sealed one."
"Amazing… Wait, lightning? Did a God did this?" I asked.
"Possibly. The gods sometimes do these things to punish mortals and bring divine retribution upon the fragments or those that attempt to use them. Perhaps someone had sneaked inside and tried to grab the fragments directly, and a god of thunder enragedly conjured the lightning, splitting the whole mountain." Brunhild said.
"Splitting a whole mountain…" I muttered. "(Oi Tyr, was this Thor?)" I asked.
The sphere of darkness and miasma opened his single red eye, looking at me from within the Realm that was created within my soul after I absorbed a fragment of the Evil God, him.
"Quite possibly. The gods deal these blows on my fragments from time to time to weaken me, most likely. Probably stopping any chances I might have for a resurrection…" Sighed Tyr. "Damned Thor, that was his lightning…"
"(Gods are pretty strong… How come we'll even go against them?)" I sighed.
"You might get there eventually, don't worry. The others too." Said Tyr. "You've got what it takes…"
"(What it takes? Don't act mysterious now and tell me…)"
"I can't, seriously, I don't remember more…"
Tyr was the real identity of the Evil God, for a little refreshing of he mind. And was a God of War and Law that posed a threat against Odin and his other sons due to his ways of thinking and the strength he developed. A plot to destroy him happened, here even Loki and Thor worked together to beat him down.
Now he's called the Evil God, which only takes upon the name the Gods gave to him in this ancient era after Loki used his Chaos to corrupt his soul and body and transform him into an Evil Divine Being filled with anger and looking rather monstrous…
He's just fragments at this point, but if I gather them all, his resurrection might be possible, something Odin and his family would never want. Somehow, we have to go around this because if I want to find the truth about this world and more, I might as well get to it. Each fragment will also make me stronger too.
"In resume, the dungeon should be way stronger. It was probably… S Rank originally." Said Brunhild.
"S Rank Dungeon?!" I asked.
"Those Dungeons said to be the strongest out there?" Asked Emeraldine.
"There are supposedly even more stronger dungeons than S Rank, but yes. It was just as strong as an S Rank Dungeon. Once split, this one is B Rank and the other… I don't really know for sure, but perhaps A Rank." Brunhild said.
"Damn… well, that only motivates me more to get to work! Alright, let's get slaying for now. I'll summon a bunch of monsters, let's get ready. They shouldn't be anything too hard." I said to everyone.
