Chapter 207: Dungeon Types
Preparing to take a few steps back in fear, James didn\'t stop until it suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Calm down, we both know you can do this James, you can be like the people in the stories my father told me and outrun them, you\'re not going to escape from here anyway, you need to step forward not backwards."
As Abby\'s voice echoed in James\' mind, he started to walk forward with the courage that had suddenly come over him. Of course, he was afraid, but as the old saying goes, "Fear is useless when death is near, all you can do is keep mowing in the face of the beauty of it."
As soon as James put his dark step ability into use, he hid behind one of the columns he saw ahead, perhaps three or four metres thick.
The fact that there was no sound coming from the surroundings worried him, maybe he was facing an assassin-type monster, maybe a monster of the holy demon race was waiting for him secretly somewhere, or a monster of the killer angel race was waiting for him just a few steps ahead in a sealed manner.
Hundreds of thousands of possibilities from hundreds of thousands of races were laid out in front of James, in short, one wrong move and death would be waiting for him.
As he peered into the darkness from behind the pillar, he activated his night vision and then began to examine the entire dark region, and what he saw in front of him showed how wrong he was.
"What the fuck?"
Abby, Vlad, and Emily both agreed with him when James was surprised by the profanity, if Nyx and the others had been watching what was happening, they would have reacted the same way. Another weird thing happened to exist in front of the Black bloodline.
"Mimics?" Abby questioned, she really could have expected to encounter anything but a mimic...no, four mimics had never crossed her mind.
When James emerged from the pillar he had been hiding behind he was able to get a good look at the four mimics in front of him. None of them were moving, they didn\'t really seem to be doing anything, and they didn\'t seem to be any different from the mimics seen in the games.
Yet, despite all this, James did not expect to encounter these monsters.
As he was watching them from a distance, he suddenly noticed that one of them had started to move its mouth, as if it was getting impatient.
James realised this and gripped his weapons tighter, he had to be prepared for any eventuality. After all, when he had spoken to Theseus, he had listened to his adventures. The dungeon Theseus had encountered the minotaur in was a legendary-grade dungeon, but the dungeon James was currently in was a creator-grade dungeon.
It could definitely be called one of a kind because it had never been seen like this in the history of the tower.
This meant that the mimics James was facing now were perhaps the holiest mimics in existence. This meant that these monsters had enormous powers.
There were two ways to clean a dungeon. Either you destroyed all the monsters in it from top to bottom, or you found the core of the dungeon and destroyed it while escaping from the monsters in the dungeons.
There were different types of dungeons, though.
The first type was a dungeon called [Destruction Type].
This type of dungeon was a dungeon in which everything inside would be completely complicated and would be hell for the user or player inside. Even an ordinary goblin inside could be hundreds of levels and have unique-grade abilities.
Indeed, as the name suggests, destruction awaited them.
The second type was the dungeons called [World Type].
These dungeons were dungeons that contained a huge world inside. In the more than two billion years of the tower, these dungeons had only been encountered four times, and three of these dungeons had been cleared by the unity of Olympus and Asgard. Not only that, but Sun Wukong and seven of the Titans had to participate in this dungeon expedition.
It was literally necessary to explore a world and clear all the monsters in it, or the dungeon core had to be found.
The third and final type was the dungeon type called [Room Type].
This dungeon type basically had a certain number of connected rooms. Perhaps it was not the most dangerous dungeon type, but it could be considered the most absurd dungeon type.
In the rooms of room-type dungeons, you would fight random monsters. You could encounter an ancient dragon in the first room you entered, or if you lived to tell about it, you could leave the dungeon after a one-second battle against a saw-mouthed rat in the boss monster room.
Room-type dungeons could be the only dungeons that allowed direct exit with the death of the boss monster.
These three types had different danger levels and general clearing tactics.
Of course, dungeons could be abandoned thanks to the very, very rare exit stone, but the rarity of these stones was as difficult as acquiring a legendary-grade item.
Abby had told James all this, of course, which was why James had tried to find the mana trails before choosing one of the rooms. In a Creator-grade dungeon, if he could find a mana trail, he could measure the power levels of the rooms, sense all the monsters and go directly to kill the boss monster.
This was, of course, quite difficult, but James had to do it anyway.
He was going to fight exactly four mimics.
