Chapter ?363 The Strange Dungeon Part 2
"I think I changed my mind. I do not want to go in there…." I know it may sound strange after fighting monsters and dealing with the undead but bees were not my thing. They were small and hard to hit and would sting you! Although bees can not actually harm me but still! In my past life bees were the things I feared most!
"Oh? Does my Faith has something she is actually afraid of?" Diablo asked teasingly. It was rare for him to get a chance to tease me, so I will let it go. But still, I will pinch him because his smile makes me mad.
"Ugh… Let's just go in and check it out. But it worries me, with how this is a portal and not a door…." The dungeons we have gone to so far all had doors and not a portal. As such, it concerned me that maybe there was something off about this dungeon. Why would it have a portal instead of a door? If we enter, will we be able to exit right away?
"You are right…. Let's check it out first by sending in some shadows. They will tell me what is inside." Diablo suggested, which I agreed to. He then summoned four shadows of a higher rank and sent them in. But as soon as they all entered, Diablo's brow furrowed. "I lost contact as soon as they entered…. Let's wait and see if any of them exit back out."
"Okay." We found a spot to sit and waited. And waited….. And waited…. No signs of the shadows whatsoever.
"Okay, scrub it. I am not risking missing my wedding due to some strange dungeon!" I made a firm decision. I then flew up into the air only to find that the fog seemed even more strange as I tried to break through the fog bank to see where I was.
Seeing how I was getting nowhere, I flew back down only to find Diablo gone…. "Diablo?" I called out over our connection, but there was no answer. "Don't tell me…." I started having a bad feeling. While I was in the same location, or at least I think I was in the same location, the fog was getting denser and denser, which made me think of one thing. "The fog is the dungeon…. But if that is the case, where are the monsters?"
This question perplexed me because even with Diablo running, I should have been able to sense monsters. I sighed as I waved my hand, "Diablo!" I called out again to call him to me like I normally would, but I got nothing once again… I frowned and tried a few times before deciding to try something else. "Appraisal!"
[Binding Fog]
[A fog that comes from the Tri Queen Dungeon. All those who enter the fog must clear the dungeon before they can leave it.]
[Binds summons]
[Binds team members]
[Binds teleportation]
[Binds outside communication]
[Team members and summons will be separated and will have to clear the dungeon themselves before they can be reunited with their team members or masters.]
[Summons can not be summoned or de-summoned While in the Tri Queen Dungeon or its vicinity.]
"Tri queen dungeon, huh?" I frowned as I looked at the swirling portal. "So no matter what, I must complete this dungeon…."
This was not what I was expecting at all. To think that the fog itself was a binding spell. I did not detect it, and now I was trapped inside of it. "I still have about a week. I need to finish this before my wedding…. But how am I going to notify everyone…." I thought for a moment before pulling out a teleport crystal and tried to activate it, but it did not work.
Letting out a long sigh, I could only try to rush through the dungeon. It was just that…. "There has to be a way to at least send a message even if they can not send one back." I thought for a moment before beginning to work on a magic circle in the dirt underfoot. After creating thousands of them in a short time, I finally got a small connection with one of them. I quickly sent a message over to Iena, who should be my receiver, telling her that I was stuck in a dungeon that locked people in until completion. And to not come here at all costs. I also stated that the king should have the northern forest sealed off until I could escape.
Whether or not this reached its intended target, I do hope the person who does get it will relate the message for me. I did, however, memorize the magic circle I made and would try to refine it until I am able to escape this place. Then maybe I can get in contact with everyone.
Biting my lip, I walked up to the portal inside the big bee head's mouth and stepped through it. There I was met with something I would never expect. "Welcome to the Tri Queen Dungeon Game Show! To think we would have so many contestants so soon. You are our next contestant, so please step right up."
In front of me were three big giant bees that looked like hornets standing and talking while wearing pink dresses and crowns on their heads. At such a sight, I was at a total loss of what to make of this situation. The whole place looked like a game show you would see on Earth. Even the bees who were hosting the show were all low level.
[Bee Queen 1]
[Level 15]
[Bee Queen 2]
[Level 15]
[Bee Queen 3]
[Level 15]
Should I just kill them and be over with it? I have no idea what would happen, but if I did, wouldn't that make things faster? I was just about to pull my sword out when two large bangs were heard, and two statues taller than a house appeared with large bulky arms.
