~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Inside Elenahiers Dungeon, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:17 AM)~~~

My entire body is already covered in blood from the monsters that are exclusive to this dungeon. The Children of Saeramar are very high level, and they're extremely durable. My wings are dripping with blood, and The Witness is soaked, red liquid dripping off the tip. Everyone else is in a similar condition, and we've only been fighting monsters none-stop.

Hailey and I move at speeds that allow us to see the world in a slower motion. We're both fast, but these monsters are just as fast as we are. Jasmine and Sally are both of our main concerns. They've been killing enemies, but only the weakest ones out of the constant stream that's coming after us. The Children of Saeramar are true abominations.

They're humanoids that have multiple arms and legs, moving in a manner akin to beasts and demons. The stuff out of nightmares... Really... "They'll keep coming until we reach the rest area! A place built by the Elven Adventurers that frequent this place!" That's something I'm looking forward to seeing. A place built inside a dungeon that can be used to rest.

Elenahiers dungeon is far more complex and unique than I anticipated. The system has an influence on this place, scaling the level of monsters once it engages in combat with one of us. If one fights me, it'll be around level 190. If it decides to leave and fight someone else, it'll scale to their level. A new feature that I didn't know existed. 

It's been that long since I went into a dungeon since The Collision. This is far more beneficial for the players and NPCs, in my opinion. "I bet that I'm going to be over level 145 after this dungeon! Maybe even higher!" Sally's excited voice reaches my ears as I slow down, and the area resumes normal speeds. She's having fun... That's awesome!!

I'm gaining EXP and doing it fast. By the end of this dungeon, I'll be level 194, after all this time too. I've stagnated at this level for a very long time, and it's time that I start up again. I'm still at tier 1 in terms of the tier system, and I have to do my tier 2 mission before I can even think about doing my tier 3 mission. I'm very far behind, and that isn't good.

Players everywhere have definitely surpassed my level and tier, especially those in big guilds. "Stick together and keep calling out where more are coming from! These ugly freaks will overwhelm us if we don't kill them as fast as they show up!" Helda knowing how this dungeon works and what we need to do helps more than I can put into words.

We continue moving forward, and piles upon piles of bodies are forming behind us, and the walls, ceiling, and air are thick with blood. You can smell the iron in the once mortal and human or elf abominations we're facing. Some of them differ from one another, like ears and height. Meaning there is a mix between human and elf abominations in here.

What I'd like to see is the boss. What kind of fucked up monstrosity is the end fight. It has to be strong since it's guarding the potions we need. Asking Helda right now is impractical since, you know... We're in the middle of a battle... "More coming from the left passageways!!" Ashburn is quick to call out another group heading our way, and I cut through multiple at a time.

My wings and sword work in tandem, making it easy to absolutely destroy everything that comes my way. There are few that hang around longer than you'd think. I match up against these creatures well since none of them are using armor or weapons. They're charging us blindly with their disfigured and disgusting bodies. They do look unholy...

It's becoming annoying having to shake my head every few seconds to get the blood out of my eyes. The smell... It's some of the worst stinks I've ever smelled in my entire life. Hailey, Jasmine, and Sally have all taken a second here and there to puke getting this far, and the only reason I haven't is cause I know a worse smell than this, and this probably ties with the second.

The heat from the blood and bodies is causing the humidity and heat to rise. Since all the warmth escaping from the dead corpses has nowhere to go, it's just hanging around and making it worse. While I won't sweat from an activity like this, I know that everyone other than Hailey is probably getting a little swampy in their clothes. 

We continue fighting all the way down the long and every changing paths. Helda knows the direct route, and following her is the fastest way through. After about 25 minutes of keeping a steady pace and doing this the right way, we make it to massive doors that don't fit in. Helda pushes them open, and as soon as we enter, the monsters behind us head back the way we came.

My wings disappear, and blood splashes and flings everywhere as I do so. "Ohh, come on, Cera!! No need to make the rest area covered in blood! All of us dripping in it is enough as it is!!" The rolling of my eyes at Hailey causes her to sigh, and Sally lets out a little giggle. I look at her, and she's dripping in blood, and I'll admit... It's rather hot...

Thinking like that and feeling like that kind of makes me feel like a psychopath, but seeing her be a badass in combat and her looking like this is the result... Damn... It's hot... "We should all take an hour or so break and refill on food and water. It's going to be a 2 hours long continuous fight to get to the boss room from this point." Geez... This is sucking more and more.

My eyes shift towards my EXP bar, and I've gained 70% of my entire level. Leaving me at 73% out of 100%. That's a lot of fucking EXP, and I'm starting to wish I had more time to grind this dungeon over and over again. "God!! The fucking stink is never coming out of my armor!!" Hailey flicks her wrists, splashing blood around just like I did... Hypocrite.

~~~(Time: 8:48 AM)~~~

My ass lands hard on a stone chair, and I lean back, letting the blood slowly drip off me. It's hot and gooey... It's disgusting in ways that I never imagined... I've been covered in blood before, but not blood as thick as this... It's taking most of my will not to find a corner and hurl over and over again. "You okay, sis? You're looking a little green..." Speaking of the cyborg...

How come he's not bothered by any of this!? It's complete shit that he's always fine in every situation! Always in the perfect state of mind!! "Oh, shut up! Spare me the sarcasm and act! I'm making you buy me all underwear!! It's in my panties, for fuck sake!!" My anger and frustration overcome my modesty. I don't care how inappropriate that sounded.

Not right now, at least, and Cera chuckles to himself and shakes his head like the cocky little shit I know! Sometimes, I wish I could just... Kick him right in the nuts! I love my brother to death, but... God! He's so annoying! "Don't even talk to me right now! I'm mentally checking out!!" He raises his hands in mock surrender. Ugh! This dungeon can suck my nuts!! Even though I don't have any!!
