Chapter Twenty-Seven

Footsteps against stone bricks let out quiet clacking noises as Kay’s party moved into the dungeon. It was an interesting party, comprised of Kay, Eleniah, Kay’s guards, who would only be participating in fights if Kay needed help staying alive or if there were enough enemies to make it worth it for everyone to participate, and Miri the mysterious maid, who was following Kay for reasons he wasn’t entirely clear about. She’d supposedly been tasked by Alahna or someone else in the palace work hierarchy to be Kay’s guide during his sightseeing tour of the city, but she’d also showed up that morning with breakfast and was now following him into a dungeon. She might not join them in fights, or maybe she would? Kay was unsure about that as well, thanks to her unclear answers.

He ignored the confusing woman. There was a dungeon to clear. Or at least clear as much as possible—there were areas they could completely steamroll that weren’t worth going to, and the actual boss of the dungeon would be too powerful for even their group. A dedicated team of tier fives with assigned roles was necessary to take down the boss, making this dungeon one of the most difficult to beat under the sole control of a nation. It was also a coveted boss to kill because the high difficulty came with a sweet loot table. The swath they were going to clear their way through was the section that led to the boss, and according to Eleniah’s info, they were going to beat at least one of the minibosses before turning back. In addition to its powerful final foe, the dungeon was also very long in order to make it a challenge for higher-tier adventurers. At least, that’s what everyone assumed since each addition the dungeon had made added stronger enemies, tougher bosses, and longer areas.

Eleniah had deliberately refused to tell him the name of the dungeon and specifically what kind of enemies were within, in order to “not ruin the surprise” and “give him the authentic experience.” So he had no idea what to expect when they turned the corner into a wide-open room made of the same dull-colored stone bricks and slabs. The room was better lit than the hallway, but only by a little, with the same smokeless torches letting off dim flickering light that made the shadows dance like flittering fairies. A series of stone blocks dotted the room, looking like unfinished pillars or uncarved steles. At the far end was an archway filled with a solid sheet of rock without handles or knobs.

“Alright,” Eleniah whispered to him, “you go first.”

He turned a suspicious look at her. “Why?”

“Because I’ll give away the surprise if you look at me,” she replied, with “duh” in her tone. “You don’t get to go in as a fresh newbie adventurer, so the least I can do is give you a little bit of that feel of exploration and wonder that they get the first time they come into this dungeon.
