Chapter 149 - Herarld Of the End Dungeon

[The Third Reich stepped into the Dungeon's core. The air was stale, the walls pulsing with deletion runes. Void ling scanned the surroundings, unimpressed.]

Void ling:

(Deadpan)

"Never expected this Dungeon to look so dull..."

Blaze:

(Arms crossed)

"Tell me about it. Looks like a forgotten tomb."

Ryuu:

(Glancing around)

"Creppy silence...Too quiet."

King Ryder:

(Nodding)

"It's the kind of quiet that hides something."

Nox:

(Voice sharp)

"The beings in here...They're going to be intense."

Zephyr:

(Grinning)

"Then let's not waste time."

Suddenly, a horde of hungry orcs surged from the shadows, Snarling and charging.

Ryuu:

(Stepping forward)

"Looks like we've got a fight on our hands."

Blaze:

(Smirking)

"Don't worry. I'll handle it--"

Nox:

(Stepping forward,voice cold)

"Step aside, King of Flames."

Blaze:

(Blinking)

"What?!"

Nox:

(Raising his hand)

"Come at me, fools."

The orcs charged--But as soon as they reached Nox...Their bodies completely vanished. No impact. No resistance. Just...gone. Everyone froze. Except Zephyr, Who watch calmly.

Void ling:

(Staggered)

"Are you kidding me...?"

Blaze:

(Whispering to himself, eyes wide)

"This bastard...He's even more powerful than before. They vanished without touching him...How much power did he gain?"

Zephyr:

(Smirking)

"Not surprising...From the King of Dimensions."

Nox:

(Grinning)

"They didn't even get obliterated. They vanished from reality, because they couldn't withstand my presence. My aura alone...would've been worse if I pressed it."

Ryuu:

(Stunned)

"Just your presence erased them? What king of being are you?"

King Ryder:

(Quietly)

"This is beyond scale..."

Void ling:

(Nodding)

"Never surprised. From the King of Timeline."

Nox:

(Turning)

"Let's continue. Before it's too late."

Void ling:

(Serious)

"You're right."

At the Astral Kingdom 🏙 Scene: Astral Kingdom--The City Plan. Outside the Lingholdhouse, Aria, Xun, Clara, and Blazion stood together.

Clara:

(Excited)

"Let's visit the city! We haven't been there before."

Blazion:

(Nodding)

"You're right. It's time."

Aria:

(Smiling)

"I'm in."

Xun:

(Raising an brow)

"Not a bad idea...But the risky part is not telling anyone. What if we get lost."

Aria:

(Waving him off)

"Nahh...we won't get lost."

They all agreed. Xun teleported home in a flash.

Seraphina:

(Opening the door)

"Where are you guys?"

Xun:

(Calmly)

"I'm with Aria, and the rest. And mom--will it be okay... if me and the crew go to the city please..."

Seraphina:

(Curious)

"Why do you want to go to the city?"

Xun:

(Explaining)

"We want to explore. We've never been there."

Seraphina thought for a moment, then nodded. And then she spoke.

Seraphina:

(Softly)

"Sure. But be back before your father returns."

Xun:

(Grinning)

"Thanks, Mom. Will do"

He telported back--Moments later. He reached there and..Aria asked.

Aria:

(Eager)

"Where did you go?"

Xun:

(Smiled)

"Mom."

Clara:

(Blushing)

"So...what did she say?"

Xun:

(Smirked)

"She said yes. But we need to be back, before My dad comeback."

Blazion:

(Smirked)

"Alright...Let's rolll."

They telported to a vast empty land near the city. The wind was heavy and it was calming. And then blazion spoke once more.

Blazion:

(Streching)

"Let's not waste anymore teleportation. We'll walk from here."

They all agreed--And began their walking journey. Back at the Dungeon ⚔️ Scene: Herald Dungeon--The Second Wave. More orcs surged from every direction--Sideways, backwards, front ward.

Zephyr:

(Grinning)

"Looks like we've got more in our hands."

Void ling:

(Calmly)

"No worries."

King Ryder:

(Curious)

"What do you mean, My lord?"

Void ling:

(Placed his hand in his pockets coldly)

"You'll see. COME FORTH!"

From the dimensional shadow void purple--black shadows, infinite armies surged--Dragons, beings, legions of darkness.

Nox;

(Smirking)

"Ahh...summoning your armies."

Blaze:

(Grinning)

"Then I will too. RISE FORTH!"

From the dimensional fire abyss, infinite fire armies emerged--Standing behind Blaze, awaiting command.

Void ling:

(Smirked)

"Go, Shadows!"

Blaze:

(Smirked)

"Go, Burners!"

The armies surged forward--Clashing with the orcs in a relentless storm. The battlefield trembled.

Nox:

(To Zephyr)

"We can't just stand here."

Zephyr:

(Grinning)

"That's more like it."

Both surged forward--Punching and crushing orcs with monstrous speed. And then Zephyr spoke while fighting in mid air.

Zephyr:

(Laughing)

"These orcs are like glass!"

Nox:

(Grinning)

"You can say that again."

King Ryder:

(Watching)

"These two... They're fighting for fun."

Blaze:

(Smirking)

"Wouldn't be surprised if they wiped the whole dungeon."

King Ryder:

(To Ryuu)

"Let's dig in."

Both joined the fight--King Ryder unleashing countless powerful winds, Ryuu igniting fire, burning all the orcs as they were reduced completely into ashes.

Void ling:

(Watching)

"Looks like we don't need to join."

Blaze:

(Grinning)

"I'll just end it with one swing."

Void ling:

(Raising a brow)

"Don't tell me...You're using that sword?",

Blaze:

(Smirking)

"You guessed it, buddy."

He raised his hand--A blade formed: KING OF NOTHINGNESS. He pointed it toward the orcs. And then he spoke.

Blaze:

(Commanding)

"Everyone move aside!"

They stepped back, Blaze began to chant--his voice echoing like thunder. And then he spoke.

Blaze:

(Chanting)

"I leave the world in nothing! Heaven and Earth will divide as creations itself crumbles! My King of Nothingness shall destroy reality. APEX RUIN!!!"

From the tip of the sword, a surging annihilation wave erupted--Wiping out all the entire countless orcs, all armies of his and void ling's. And even half the dungeon itself was completely obliterated.

Nox:

(Stunned)

"Absolutely...wow. Not bad."

Blaze lowered the blade--it vanished into the air. And then Zephyr spoke.

Zephyr:

(Wide-eyed)

"What was that?"

Blaze:

(Calmly)

"My blade."

Zephyr:

(Smirked)

"That attack...It's so vast."

Blaze:

(Smirked)

"It can wipe out everything. It's an annihilation blade. I don't have time to explain it now."

Zephyr:

(Eyes narrowed)

"Sure."

Void ling:

(Stepping forward)

"Alright, everyone. We need to move on."

The dungeon fell into a haunting stillness. Tbe air was thick, the silence louder than any roar. And Void ling spoke.

Void ling:

(Eyes narrowed)

"I'm starting to believe...There are layers in this dungeon we'll need to pass through to reach the Second Crown Gem."

Blaze:

(Arms folded, tone sharp)

"I can accumulate that too. There's a large quantity of orcs in here...And it's getting annoying."

Ryuu:

(Glacing around)

"They're everywhere. Is like they are omnipresent. And also multiplying themselves."

Zephyr:

(Grinning faintly)

"Or they're guarding something."

Void ling:

(Stepping forward, voice calm)

"I'll use my Void Requiem to see what's ahead."

His eyes flickered--Then shifted into pure glowing purple. The void opened within his gaze. As he saw everything in his eyes.

Void ling:

(Speaking slowly, eyes locked into vision)

"The gem...It's safe. But there's...a figure."

Blaze:

(Frowning)

"What figure?"

Void ling:

(Voice deepening)

"He's very dark. His clothes...Hands to see. He's cloaked in something beyond shadow."

Zephyr:

(Tilting his head)

"Is he trying to hide himself?"

Void ling:

(Eyes glowing brighter)

"He is. But I can see it. Everything. He's sitting beside the gemstone...Arms crossed, and still watching."

Nox:

(Voice cold)

"So he's guarding it."

King Ryder:

(Stepping closer)

"Or studying it..."

Void ling:

(Tone urgent)

"We have to hurry. That figure...He's trying to absorb the gems power. Just by being near it."

Ryuu:

(Shocked)

"How is that even possible?!"

Void ling:

(Explaining, voice steady)

"The Crown Gem are conceptual anchors. They radiate power even when untouched. If someone sits beside one long enough...They can begin to resonant with it."

Blaze:

(Gritting his teeth)

"Then we need to move. Now."

Void ling's eyes flicked back to normal--The glow fading. And king Ryder spoke.

King Ryder:

(Firmly)

"We don't have time anymore. Let's go."

The Reichs surged forward--Ascending toward the next layer. Back Aria and her crews 🏙 Scene: Astral Kingdom--City Exploration. The city buzzed with life. People moved in waves, cars honked, vendors shouted. It was choas wrapped in color.

Blazion:

(Eyes wide)

"Nevee expected it to be this busy..."

Xun:

(Grinning)

"It's a city for a reason, Blazion."

Clara:

(Smiling, brushing her hair back)

"It's kind of exciting."

Aria:

(Pointing ahead)

"Let's check out some of the shops. See what they've got."

They walked forward--Into the heart of the city. The day was theirs. The crew walked down the bustling street, weaving through crowds and neon signs. They stopped in front of a store--its window glowing with displays of combat gear, cloth wraps, and bandage fighting outfits.

Xun:

(Deadpan, hands in pockets)

"Let's go inside."

They entered. The air was cool, the walls lined with racks of sleek battlewear and enchanted cloth armor. Clara and Aria froze, eyess wide.

Aria:

(Gasping, voice bright)

"Ooo...this looks amazing!"

Clara:

(Smiling, eyes sparkling)

"I know, right?!"

Xun:

(Turned to Blazion, unimpressed)

"Shouldn't have come here in the first place."

Blazion:

(Sighing)

"Tell me about it..."

Aria twirled toward Clara, her excitement overflowing. And then Aria spoke.

Aria:

(Grinning)

"This place is incredible!"

Just then, a woman from behind the counter noticed them. She stepped forward, her tone curious but firm.

Shopkeeper:

(Raising an eyebrow)

"Where are you parents?"

Aria:

(Calmly)

"They aren't with us right now."

Shopkeeper:

(Suspicious)

"So...what part of the city do you live in?"

Xun:

(Casually)

"We live here. West side."

Shopkeeper:

(Blinking)

"West side?"

She paused, then nodded and walked away. And then Blazion spoke.

Blazion:

(Exhaling)

"Phew...This is the kind of stuff they're gonna ask. We need to stay sharp, y'all."

Everyone nodded in agreement. But before they could move deeper into the store--The air shifted. A soft shimmer pulsed near the entrance. And then--A figure of a woman appeared. She was wearing something nice, her eyes glowing faintly, her presence quiet but commanding. The crew turned slowly, eyes wide.

Clara:

(Whispering)

"Who...is that?"

The woman stepped forward, her gaze locked on them.
