Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 54

I would just like to say that this chapter is mostly descriptions. I know that a lot of people loves dialogue in Fanfics but unfortunately this chapter bȧrėly has any on it. Sorry for that.

Finally…Yay! I’ve reached 7k collections! When I first started this novel, I thought that the max I would get was around 500 collections, but you’ve all proven me wrong. Thank you all for enjoying my novel

Enjoy the Chapter.

…

Jaune left the base to allow the group to decide on their own, it is their future after all. Jaune was wearing a Vibranium Fingerless Gauntlet that reaches near his elbow, he wanted to fight some of the strongest monsters of the dungeon. For him to do this, he plans to use Stormbreaker, by wielding Stormbreaker in the dungeon he was hoping it would be detected as a God since Stormbreaker has a divinity, by doing so, Jaune hopes to force the dungeon to create something similar to a Black Goliath or stronger.

On Jaune’s way to the Dungeon, a certain Sword Princess who couldn’t get him out of her mind was able to spot him, out of curiosity, she followed him into the dungeon. Her Familia members that were with her followed along since they wanted to see what kind of person could occupy the mind of the Sword Princess.

As soon as Jaune arrived in the Dungeon he started making his way towards the lower levels. All the adventurers that followed Jaune were surprised that he was able to make it to the 18th floor in no more than an hour. What they don’t know was that Jaune wasn’t in a hurry, therefore he wasn’t going as fast as he could have.

Watching Jaune fight monster after monster without a single break was not that surprising for them to see, but to see him punch a monster nonchalantly and kill it in an instant, now that was a surprise. Ooooooh! These people don’t know what they are in for, in the next ten minutes after reaching Rivira, Jaune continued down the dungeon, but some of the adventurers that followed him didn’t follow since they didn’t want to fight the monsters on those floors.

Though, Ais, Riveria, Bete, Tiona, Tione, Finn, and Gareth continued following Jaune since they were strong enough to go through the Lower Middle Floor. Jaune has long ago sensed their presence he’s been aware of them since Ais saw him on the surface, but he didn’t care about them, he would scare the shit out of them when he forces the dungeon to make an irregular monster.

After a while, Ais and her Familia lost count of what floor they were on, but upon looking at their surroundings, they realise that in no time at all, they were already on the 37th floor.

Riveria, unlike the others, have realised something was amiss, from the beginning till now when they followed Jaune, they never once been approached by any monster. All the monsters would head to Jaune no matter how strong or weak it is and ignore everyone else.

Riveria was about to say something to the party, but her curiosity of Jaune got the better of her, just like Ais, Riveria’s heritage as an Elf is making her drawn to Jaune due to the nature energy that he is producing through Avalon, it was a familiar feeling to her, it was like she was back in Alf’s Royal Forest, except no father to nag her.

On the 39th floor, usually, the Floor boss would have been Udaeus, but Ais killed it not too long ago. The Boss only spawns every three months; therefore, it still has a long time before the next respawn.

Not long after reaching the 39th floor, Jaune arrived at the 49th floor, they saw him no longer advance. The reason for that is because Jaune wanted to use Moytura as his arena.

Moytura is a huge room. No grass or trees grow on the desolate ground. The rocks and the sand are all a reddish-brown colour. It also contains the Monster Rex, Balor, though Jaune doesn’t give a crap about Balor.

What Jaune wants is the open space of Moytura, plenty of it to fight a powerful monster.

Everyone in the Loki Familia were familiar with this area, they have heard of it from the Freya Familia, this floor was the floor of Balor, the Monster Rex of Floor 49. Now they were all nervous since not even Ottar dared to challenge the monster at this point.

“T-This is not good! How the hell did we get to the 49th floor within a few hours?!” Bete shouted.

“And just how strong is that guy?! He killed hundreds of monsters that would have killed us if we fought on our own! But that guy, he steamrolled everything with ease!” Bete added.

“I-I don’t know. I’ve never seen or heard of a man named Jaune Arc before,” Finn replied to Bete.

“Ais… I think we need to get out of here,” Riveria said.

“It’s too late for that… He did something earlier that caused the floor to lock up…” Ais said.

“What did he do?!” Bete shouted.

“He created some sort of portal and took out an Axe-Hammer to kill Balor, it was then that the floor sealed itself,” Ais said.

“What?! But the dungeon only seals itself when a God’s power is detected!” Bete shouted.

Not long after Jaune killed Balor, the floor of the dungeon started shaking. In the ceiling of the floor a crack was opening, inside the crack was an irregular monster.

The monster was similar to Humans, but it had a horn facing the back of the monster, its arms were covered in armour, yet it was flexible. It wasn’t huge like other irregular monsters or monster rex, no, this one was just as tall or if not, slightly taller than Jaune.

The Loki Familia was surprised at the appearance of the monster, they’ve never seen anything like it nor read anything about it.

Before they even knew it, it suddenly dashed for Jaune. They all thought that Jaune will probably get killed since they couldn’t even see the movement of the thing.

Jaune on the other hand was smiling with a huge grin on his face, this was what he wanted, it was not strong enough to force him to release the Loop of Binding, but it was enough to push him while his power is being restraint by the Loop of Binding.

As soon as the Monster dashed towards Jaune, Jaune did the same and dashed towards the monster. One thing on the mind of the Loki Familia was, ‘Holy Shit!’.

The pressure of the irregular’s attack was so strong that it would create a powerful wind that would crash the walls of the dungeon. Yet, no matter how powerful the attacks were, it wasn’t able to land a single hit on Jaune, it was just too slow due to its bulky body…Well, too slow for Jaune.

Blow after Blow of the monster would be dodged by Jaune, overtime during the fight, Jaune struck the monster on its ċhėst and sent it flying.

The monster did not like that, it roared and got stronger, but this just made Jaune even happier. Though, the Loki Familia was getting anxious since they were in an open field with no place to hide. And the fact that each attack of the monster causes them to be hit with residual pressure.

“This is insane! What kind of monster is that guy? And why did the dungeon make such a powerful monster?” Gareth said.

“I don’t know, but if you look carefully, blondie over there is smiling as he fights,” Finn said.

“Great! The dude is a Battle Maniac!” Bete shouted.

“As if you’re one to talk,” Tiona said berating Bete.

As the fight went on, Jaune was satisfied, he wanted to end the fight with the irregular monster, but he wanted to put on a spectacle for the Loki Familia.

What Jaune did was use Restrict Lock, it was a magic formula from the Nanoha series. Four magic bands appeared on the irregular monster, one on each of its arms and legs, it kept the monster in place on mid-air.

Jaune then proceeded to walk towards the Loki Familia while producing a Dark Purple Sphere in his hand with three pulsing concentric circles around the sphere.

“May I suggest that you all run,” Jaune said.

“Hah?! Why should we listen to you!” Bete shouted.

“Well, it’s your funeral,” Jaune said and threw the sphere in his hand to the irregular monster.

Of course, Jaune wasn’t going to get the Loki Familia killed since they haven’t done anything wrong to him or his friends, so he put a magic barrier around their bodies that could withstand the power of the Dai Rasenringu that he threw to the irregular monster, and they all felt the barrier.

Not a second later, the Dai Rasenringu hit the irregular monster and erupted in a massive explosion. The Loki Familia who saw this was horrified since the attack was so powerful that they were going to be hit as well. They now knew why Jaune suggested they run.

Before the Loki Familia even knew it, they were flung across the dungeon floor due to the explosion, they were all cursing Bete for running his mouth, but they realised that they weren’t dead even after getting hit by something so powerful, it was then they thought about feeling a barrier cover their entire body earlier.

In Riveria’s mind she saw Jaune in a new light, he wasn’t only physically strong, but he was magically strong as well.

After the explosion ended, they saw the aftermath. The entire floor was nearly destroyed, there was no part of the dungeon wall that didn’t have a crack for a hole on it. Lastly, they saw the ground that the sphere exploded from, around it was a massive crater.

Bete nearly shit his pants, a few days ago he planned to challenge Jaune to a fight or cause a fight against him to break out, but now, he wanted nothing to do with Jaune, he knew that if they fought, there will be nothing left of him, just like the irregular monster that spawned.
