I Love The Zombie Queen - Chapter 23 Entering The Dungeon

Sky continued his journey to the dungeon, he faced a lot of monsters on his way. But with his new ability of being able to see the flow of internal energy and locate the internal energy reserve, he was practically a killing god with the black knife in his hand.

Every strike of his aimed at the energy reserve, making the monsters drop levels with just a single slash from his black knife.

In his journey he even came up against a level three flying serpent, which made him fight a bloody fight, until he finally had to fake his injury and let the monster eat him. He then killed it using the normal method.

When he opened the hole from inside the stomach of the flying serpent, it was flying in mid air. Sky immediately shouted, “let me in. Damn lefty.”

He had a plan to use his ability to go into his arm and avoid falling. But his arm like usual, showed it’s attitude and did not let him in.

“I am sorry, my little sister! Please let me in.”

No matter what he said, he was not let in, and he fell to the ground with increasing speed.

His bones were broken from the fall. The left hand shined white and his internal energy healed him completely.

He was so angry at his left hand that he tried to cut it off using the black knife. But his left hand stayed as indestructible as ever.

[ Damn! One day I will **** you.] he thought seriously before forgetting the incident.

Other than this small incident, there were no other major incidents in his journey.

He safely reached the entrance to the Red dungeon, which was packed with monsters and stood in the line which let the monsters enter inside the dungeon.

The entrance to the dungeon was wide open, there were two monsters of level four guarding the open doors.

One of the level four monster was a Minotaur while the other was a lion faced monster. They called this race, the Limans.

He had a head of a loin, the waist of a human and the legs of a horse. He looked intimidating as his gaze passed against the monster in the line.

The entrance itself was damn huge. It was hundred meters tall and the monsters that entered the dungeon looked like ants compared to it. This gave a majestic feeling to the dungeon.

When it was Sky’s turn to enter, he was stopped by the level four Minotaur by the entrance doors. “Five energy stones.” He said.

Energy stones are the type of stones which provide the body of a monster with warmness in the dungeons.

Since the lower floors of the dungeon do not have an artificial sun to provide warmth like the higher floors, they were usually bone chilling cold.

Since the energy stones provide with warmth that dispels the coldness of the surroundings, it is one of the most commonly used currency in lower levels of the dungeon.

Sky had already collected a huge amount of energy stones by killing and robbing the level two monsters on his way to the dungeon and did not lack them.

He easily took out five energy stones from his left hand and handed them to the level four Minotaur.

The level four Minotaur verified the authenticity of the stones and nodded, letting Sky enter the dungeon.

……..

The first experience Sky had in the dungeon was shivering due to coldness. This coldness seeped into his bones seemingly wanting to freeze his very soul.

His left arm immediately emitted a small white light and his whole body felt warm.

Sky found out a new advantage of possessing his left hand. It could let him adjust to the surrounding temperatures. There was no need for him to use energy stones to keep himself warm.

He spent some energy stones and found out the way to enter the second floor. His target was the higher floors, since he wanted to grow stronger.

But once he reached the stairs which led to the second floor, he immediately turned around and walked back.

There was a level five monster guarding the stairs and from what he had learned by using energy stones, he had to defeat this level five monster to climb to the second floor.

At his current stage, It was practically impossible for him to defeat a level five monster. Unless he can trick the level five monster into eating him.

Sky really considered this option, until he learnt that, if the monster guarding the stairs has been killed in the duel, then the killer would have to be the new guard.

This is strictly managed by the higher monsters from the higher floors and there would be no way to avoid the responsibility if you really kill the level five guard.

The stairway to the second floor and the entrance to the dungeon were pretty close, so Sky had not seen the first floor of this dungeon.

Now that he noticed, there was a huge light source at the top of the first floor. This light source emitted pure light and did not emit heat.

This is the reason the lower floors who only had a light source were cold and monsters needed energy stones to live here.

The first floor of the dungeon was like a another world. It was divided into territories and each territory was ruled by a level four monster.

Some rulers allowed only the monsters from their own race to stay in their territories, while some allowed every monster in their territories.

Sky’s plan was simple, raise his power to level four, battle head on with the level five monster and win.

It was really a simple plan.
