Part: 63
Alex was a little surprised to see his undead talking. However, he didn't think much of it and went straight to work.
-->>Water, create a water barrier around me so I can breathe underwater. (Alex)
Hearing Alex's order, his undead goblin stared at his master for a while. Judging by his expression, it seemed like Alex was asking him to do something that was very simple. After a while, Water raised his staff and cast a spell. Since the spell was in the monster's language, Alex couldn't understand anything about it. However, from what he saw, he realized that it was a very simple spell. After Water's spell was finished, water began to collect from the outside where the mana stone was on his staff. As the water collected, the water took the shape of a ball that was larger than a human's size. The round ball-like thing was created by Water's spell. And it was a very simple spell. It was called "Water Barrier". The round ball created by the spell entered Alex's body and trapped Alex's body inside it. Although Alex could easily enter from the outside, the ball had now turned into a solid object, and as a result, he was unable to get out. His undead also stayed inside with him to maintain the spell. Although Alex initially thought it would work, it wasn't that simple.
When Alex entered the water with the barrier, the water was not entering properly. But the problem was with oxygen. Although no liquid or solid object could enter this barrier, gaseous objects could enter. Since there is oxygen in the air, if you create this barrier above the water, you can create a path for oxygen and carbon dioxide to enter and exit at will. But since oxygen is mixed with water underwater, it cannot enter the barrier. However, it is not that the pond is very large and Alex will have difficulty entering its depths. While creating the barrier, some amount of oxygen was taken from the air and with the help of that oxygen, Alex is able to breathe. And since Alex's undead army is on the list of dead, it does not need to breathe.
-->>Water, take me to the depths of the water very soon. (Alex)
Alex doesn't want to waste his precious time. Since he doesn't have much time, he has to do it quickly. The water barrier, like a round ball made by the undead, entered the pond and started moving straight down. It started reaching the water at a high speed. Alex stood silently and watched. Since he was in a small round ball of water and also under water, his breathing was working quickly. Human lungs are a very strange thing. If someone can hold his breath for a minute normally, then the same person under water or in contact with water will not be able to hold his breath for even half a minute. However, there are some exceptions here. Some people can breathe underwater for a long time by birth, while others can breathe underwater for a long time through training. Since Alex was a normal person, his breathing volume was also getting a little out. If he stayed like this for a long time, he would have trouble breathing inside the barrier. No matter how powerful or strong a person is, his weakest point is his breathing.
-->>And I can't swim anyway. (Alex)
Alex couldn't swim, so he entered the water thinking about all the safety issues. Alex looked outside. Since the barrier was transparent, everything outside could be seen. Although it was a simple spell, it was still quite powerful because of the high level of the goblin undead. Alex stood and looked outside. There were several monsters outside, who were looking right at Alex. But since Alex wasn't using his own magic, but the magic of one of his monsters was being used, none of the underwater monsters were attacking Alex. The lizards were swimming happily. Since Alex was inside the energy barrier, the monsters' eyes turned to Alex, but they didn't attack at first. Alex realized that the monsters would attack him as soon as he left the barrier made by his undead. Since he didn't know how to swim, it would be very difficult for him to survive here.
There is a huge monument built deep in the water. Which is made entirely of stone. Inside the monument is a round circle. Alex asked his undead to lower himself directly onto that circle. There were some writings on the circle in many strange languages, which Alex did not understand. But he began to feel some energy from the circle. Although it was dangerous, Alex still understood that it would be good for him. Alex's undead took his round barrier onto that circle. As soon as the barrier touched the circle, a bright light was created, which immediately teleported Alex from that place. The place is not unfamiliar to Alex.
-->>Then it's a danjon!(Alex)
Alex didn't expect to find a dungeon so quickly. He had been in a tower's test ground for a long time before, and he knew very well how difficult it was to find a dungeon. Alex learned after coming to the tower's test ground that although there were a hundred dungeons in this tower, even after so many, they were difficult to find because the locations of these dungeons were in hostile environments. And that's why Alex expected it to take a long time. But he was surprised to see that he found one so quickly.
Alex wasted no time and started to advance into the dungeon, one step at a time. As soon as Alex took a step back, a notification came from his system,
-""Master, you have entered a red dungeon.""-
Alex had been worried a lot until now. His concern was whether the dungeon would be green or blue. But he breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, it was not unbelievable that there could be a dungeon in such a hostile environment and that it would be a red dungeon. Now, without thinking about these things, Alex started entering the dungeon directly. He had heard before and after coming to the test ground what red dungeons could be like. A red dungeon is the most terrible and difficult of the four types of dungeons. According to the tower's records, only a handful of people have been able to clear the red dungeon. And Alex entered that terrible dungeon. Anyone else here would have died of fear by now, but Alex was not like that. Usually, to enter a red dungeon, you have to enter with a large number of people. Since the monsters inside it are stronger than the monsters in the rest of the dungeons in the test ground, a large number of people are needed to kill them. And if someone enters a dungeon alone that requires thousands of people to clear, then in a way, it can be said that there is no one in the world as unlucky as him. But Alex is not one of those unlucky ones. Just like the principal of Mephas Academy, everyone who came out of the Demonic Forest, including Alex, is as strong as those who passed the test in the tower.
-->>Even if everyone new decides to enter the first floor of the tower without taking a rickshaw, it won't benefit me. (Alex)
Not everyone wants to take the Rix, but Alex is not like them. Alex himself is not entering a difficult dungeon for a magical item. Rather,
-->>I need to level up. (Alex)
Alex advanced into the dungeon. He was all out from the start. Since Alex hadn't fought or used his spells or skills in a long time, he had enough energy in his ring. And this energy would be enough to clear a dungeon. And besides, Alex had the Consumer Title and Gluttony. With these hidden cards, Alex wasn't afraid of this red dungeon anymore.
The red dungeon, which is harder and more deadly than the other four dungeons, is actually home to the most powerful monsters on the test floor. Since Alex has cleared two dungeons before, he has a small idea of what level this dungeon might be. And after seeing the first monsters in it, Alex had an idea of what level this dungeon was.
"Info"
Alex used his info skill. In front of him stood some monsters that he had never seen before. Of course, he had never actually seen them.
-->>I didn't expect to see the Lizardmen here. (Alex)
Alex has not seen many things in reality in his life. Not only him, but all the people in the world have not seen many things in reality. But how do new ideas come to their minds even after not seeing one thing? Well, Alex got the answer to this a long time ago. Humans cannot give birth to anything new. If a writer writes a story, if a singer sings a song, if a doctor performs an operation, if a programmer creates a game, or let's talk about thousands of new things in the world, nothing is that person's own creation. People create something new by combining the knowledge and hard work of others. For example, is what a writer writes in his story his own writing? Yes, of course he is writing it himself, that is, he is writing it with his fingers. But the real question is, are the topics he is mentioning his own? If a writer mentions something romantic in his story, then it will be seen that that romantic thing has happened to someone out of billions of people before he writes it. If he does not have even the slightest idea about the topic he is going to write about, then it is not possible for him to write about that topic. To put it simply, it is impossible to write or read about a topic unless it happens.
Just such a thing is imagination. Human fantasy can go far and wide. But have we ever wondered where all these fantasies come from? Yes, many creative people think that they have created them with their own talent when they watch movies, cartoons or play games, but what would you think if a fictional character came to you at one time? Alex also considered everything imaginary when he was on earth. He had reached a very deep level of fantasy thanks to being a game programmer. He had a superficial knowledge of dragons, elves, goblins, magic, everything. But Alex now understands,
-->>It is not possible to create anything new. (Alex)
Alex has long understood that everything in the world that he thought was imaginary was true. And those truths are now floating in front of him one by one. Since all these things were true, they would have remained fantasy in the minds of the people of the world. And Alex can think of one reason for that.
-->>Someone has seen all the monsters in their life. And one of them entered the world. (Alex)
As Alex said, someone from the outside world entered the world. And spread all that fictional knowledge to the world. And through that opportunity, Alex learned about many fictional things. And through this, Alex knows the names of many monsters, because he once worked on a game called Nightmare with those monsters.
There are several monsters in front of Alex. Although he had seen lizards in the water before, the monsters inside the dungeon are not ordinary lizards. They are human-sized, meaning they stand on two legs, hold weapons in both hands, and wear clothes. Many will ask why I compared them to humans? Of course, there is nothing to compare here, I just mentioned the size to make it easier to understand.
There were fifteen lizardmen in one place that Alex had to watch from a distance. Alex was looking at them with deep interest without making any sound. Although it didn't exactly match the design of his game, even a child would be able to tell if it was a lizardman if he played that game. And besides, Alex's info skill never gave wrong information. Fifteen level fifty lizardmen were standing in the first place of the dungeon. And from this, Alex could understand what level the dungeon was. He breathed a sigh of relief, because he wouldn't have to struggle as much here as he did in the Goblin Dungeon.
Alex summoned his five powerful undead army. They started rising from the floor in front of Alex one by one. Four goblin wizards and a demonic fox. All five undead received Alex's signal and started attacking the lizardmen. Alex quickly moved away from the monsters with his quick agility. Since each of the five undead was as strong as a normal boss monster, Alex didn't worry about them. Alex was moving forward, and his undead were clearing the monsters behind him.
Alex was moving forward, leaving all the monsters behind. His destination was towards the strongest monster, since his level was much higher than the monster, even if he killed them, Alex would not be able to increase his level. So he had to find the strongest monster first.
-->>Low level monsters give less XP. So if I want to level up from them, I have to kill countless monsters. But by killing monsters that are higher in level than me, I can level up quickly. (Alex)
Since Alex gets half of the XP when his undead army kills a monster and the rest goes to the undead he killed, Alex leaves the small fish with his undead and goes to catch the big fish himself. After moving forward a long way, Alex caught sight of several new monsters. All Alex had been looking at so far were lizardmen. Alex had left about a hundred of them behind. With Alex's newfound skills, it was no problem to get out of their way safely.
-->>"Stealth" is working pretty well. (Alex)
Alex used his new skill. The skill is related to his sub-job. Since his sub-job is Assassin, he also got a skill in that regard. However, Alex didn't pay attention to it at first. After Alex's agility reached 100, Alex gained a skill. The skill is called "Stealth". It is a skill that hides Alex from everyone's eyes for a while. In simple terms, Alex becomes invisible for a while. Although it cannot be called invisible directly, it is still a simple language to describe his skill. Alex had been using his stealth skill so far, through which no lizardman could see him. And that is why he was able to get inside very easily. Although he still had quite a bit of time left in his stealth skill, some new monsters appeared in front of Alex's eyes, so Alex undone his skill.
-->>Well well. Look who's here.(Alex)
Skeletons stood in front of Alex. There were not a few of them. And this was the only monster that Alex hated the most. Even though his own undead had once been skeletons, Alex still hated them in his heart. And Alex was very happy with the increase in the skill level of his skeleton army. Even then, talking about his own skeletons was another thing. Alex thought about the past whenever he saw skeletons. Even though he wanted to forget the past, he still didn't want to let it haunt him. And now, those monsters were standing in front of Alex for whom everything in his life had happened.
-->>I thought I would just clear the dungeon. But no, now I'm going to clear the entire dungeon in my style. (Alex)
Alex took the small dagger in his hand. Although the dagger's name was strange, it was a key to Beelzebub. And you have to know what its power is, because it absorbs dead matter. And in front of Alex stood his hated monster skeletons, all of whom were about to be eaten by the Moon Dagger.
