An Irregular Reincarnate in a Dungeon

4. Dungeon's Frankenstein

Hephy placed the hammer at her hip, locking it at her belt. "Fine. I'll let it go..." 'Only if Kin Killer doesn't rank up. I can only imagine the taxes we would be hit with if Ouranos had learnt someone got that type of skill once again.'

Some time later, inside the dungeon Kyo was running around. As a Monster Stampede was chasing her and she had a big grin on her face "Catch me you bitchy dungeon!" She shouted as her voice was muffled out by the monster roars.

'To think that all you have to do, to reserve a whole floor to yourself is simply grab aggro of every mob you find!' Kyo smiled to herself as she stopped with a spun around. With her face towards the enemy as she extended her hand forward to them, it was a full tunnel of hundreds upon hundreds of monsters. Summoning up the Strengthening Realm around herself second time she focused it a bit around herself as she directed bits of her Mind towards her palm "Fireball!" the flaming sphere appeared in her palm as she reeled it back and next threw it in the direction of the monsters.

'I'll try that.' As she instantly threw the fireball, she also instantly started running into the direction of the horde. Extending her hand towards the constantly growing fireball, she focused on her Mind Pool. "Fireball!" She shouted as her palm was literally touching the first fireball, as in an instant she felt her control comeback and she jumped back.

The flaming hot fireball was now much larger in her palm, as it now continuously drained her Mind Pool. 'Risky move. Got that.' She got ready to throw it as she felt her Mind drop to half. "Fireball!" She shouted and threw it at the horde which was now much closer.

The monsters all had stopped as the flame grown into such size that it covered the ceiling, floor and walls. Rendering their previous target not visible for them, as then suddenly it exploded. The flame burst in such a manner that it kept going into the horde further and further, as even the dungeon's stone interior started burning and actively melting.

As they monsters and dungeon was burning there. Amane fell on her ass as she was exhausted "Fuck me... fuf..." she gasped for sweet air after all that running, and she was ever-so thankful that her fireballs didn't burn the oxygen in the air, but rather. Probably what she had assumed, was free mana in air.

She swept off the sweat that had gathered at her face 'Wait... is it melting the dungeon?' She looked at the strange droplets from burning ceiling. She could still hear monsters dying in the distance, and she had no Mind to cast another fireballs. Maybe if she had pocket Goddess to update her status right now, would she be capable of casting more.

'Do I risk having to run away from Juggernaut?

...Yes, I'll try yoinking the biggest amount of excelia I can to my magic stat.' as she sat there, her stomach released a protesting sound. 'Right. Didn't eat much since yesterday... when Tsubaki basically forced food down my throat.' She shuddered a bit and looked into the distance 'I think I can cast one more Fireball, but... why is it burning for as long as I don't give it a command to extinguish? Maybe I can even make it suddenly explode with new strength?' choosing to test her theory, she opened her mouth "Burn." and so she said it. But nothing happened. 'meh, one to perception.' she quickly surveyed, finding that only few tens of monsters were barely alive in the back of the horde. "Extinguish." She said freely as all the flame stopped burning in next instant, the only evidence of it being the molten dungeon corridor. "It'll take Dungeon a day or two to repair this damage on early floor."

Picking herself up she scouted quickly everything forward with her perception, but all the loot of today had been destroyed, or returned freely to dungeon. "Right... I think I spend here few hours, it should be evening outside?"

Starting to make her way back, she didn't know yet how much trouble she was in.

"Finally! I hate this maze-like fucking dungeon!" She shouted entering the 5th floor, and it didn't help as she was being assaulted by monsters left and right. As if they were homing onto her.

*trmbll*

Something shook the dungeon itself. As every adventurer felt it, usually it indicated a spawn of a Monster Rex. A Boss of specific floor... but this time, it was a calamity.

*SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK*

A sudden shriek had ravaged the dungeon! From its depth a Monster was born, with designated target.

Amane Kyo.

Every adventurer knew what it was that released such a devastating and horrible shriek, a Juggernaut had been born.

The ones who had it worst currently, was the Loki Familia as during their fight with Monster Rex, Goliath at 17th floor on their way back from Dungeon. In front of their very eyes they had first seats to witness the Juggernaut being born. A large beast, whose body was made out of a skeleton. Skull similar to a deer or wendigo, sharp claws, plantigrade. Even the Goliath had stopped fighting.

"Finn..." Riveria, an elven lady with jade coloured hair and eyes. "I see it Riveria." The Pallum boy who reached mere 119 centimeters had readied himself. "This doesn't look good-" Gareth, the brown haired and bearded Dwarf was suddenly stopped as the Juggernaut opened its mouth and a massive, crimson red oval shaped gem appeared at its ribcage. Its next motion announcing its coming "*SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEK*" It released another one, and with a burst of terrain itself. It ignored the Loki Familia and the raid party, as it rushed towards the upper floor. "Wait! It went above!" Gareth shouted "I'll go-" Ainz, a blonde human girl tried saying but she was bested by Goliath which started moving again and it barely missed her.

"Let's finish this ugly fucker first." The Dwarf said as everyone agreed with no problem.

Meanwhile Amane was running rampantly with nearly no energy up. 'Fast fast fast! It's coming for my booty! I JUST FUCKING KNOW IT!' She was breathing in and out during the run. 'I'm picking a fucking training routine from now on! First stop, Outside!'

She went up and up, till the second floor. As it then appeared, right behind her. "*SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK*" the ear-piercing shriek of it completely deafened Kyo as her eardrums went haywire and blood started flowing from her ears. As she could only hear a screeching sound in her head, which effectively halted her but she still kept running. "FUUUUU-" She couldn't finish as the Juggernauts claw touched her back. From top right shoulder, it befell down to her left hip, as it divided the flesh with no effort. Showing its might, its pure design to kill her.

The blood now flowing down her ears in small amounts, and from her back abundant amounts of it, as she was leaving lots of blood. "Healing! Healing!" She shouted. Hoping for her Realm ability to catch on as she didn't figure it 100% herself.

Whenever she saw the boney frontal limbs even Gently lift up, she instantly side stepped as next. That wall compartment was absolutely deliberated.

As she was running, at the corner of her eye. She saw many adventurers go deeper into dungeon at the sight of a girl being chased by the Juggernaut. As she had pretty much clean way up to the first floor.

The easiest floor too, as it wasn't complicated.

She quickly was making her way up. As she jumped out of the dungeon garnering a few looks from the clueless guards. The guards started approaching her but they stopped completely pale.

The Juggernaut released a mad shriek as its prey and target had successfully fled. Even though, it had managed to get a bit of its prey.

Kyo's vision slowly started becoming darker, as she herself slowly felt weaker... and... weaker... That is when she finally looked down as she felt something warm and wet under herself. A pool of her blood. 'If Adrenaline is a blessing... then I fucking thank it for not feeling all the pain yet.' even though it was slowly starting to assault her. The Pain. She chose her last thought before falling unconscious. 'Healing Realm. Healing Realm.' with hope of survival.

But what she didn't notice, was her arm missing from shoulder down...
