Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Well, before it causes problem for her, let\'s get rid of it," Sophia said as they rushed towards the snake and when it saw them rushing towards him it opened it\'s mouth and they sighed and it blew heavy wind at them which was supposed to send them flying but Cortan had created a barrier around them.

"This one has wind rather than fire; how many more of these will we come across?" Yonja yelled as wind formed around the snake\'s body, preventing it from attacking Nessa, who was looking at them.

"Kill it now," Yonja said as the others all attacked the snake at the same time, causing an explosion that shook the ground, and Nessa smiled as the snake\'s body fell to the ground in pieces, and the others sighed in relief before returning their gaze to her, and she smiled.

"Thank you," She said.

"You are welcome," They replied.

"Figured out anything?" Niva asked and Nessa sighed.

"Not quite, but this glow," She said as she peeked and noticed that the wall shifted a bit, but she couldn\'t hear it earlier due to the snake\'s roar.

"What\'s this?" She asked as she pressed her hand against the wall and her eyes began glowing green, as did the wall which began moving and the others looked at her and each other, wondering what was going on and Nessa stepped back.

The wall pushed back and everything around them began vibrating while moving themselves around and an opening appeared while the wall moved and they smiled then Nessa jumped down and landed on Akio\'s back.

"Take the path through," Nessa said as they rushed forward while the walls were moving, dodging them as they passed by to avoid getting hit by them.

"How did you figure it out, Nessa?" Yonja asked.

"I didn\'t quite figure it, I just saw an opening," She responded and he scoffed when Sophia peeked at her and her eyes narrowed when she saw a bit of blood on Nessa\'s hand and tapped her on the shoulder when they heard another roar and looked at the walls around them, wondering where it was coming from.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Niva inquired as a wall approached Nessa, causing her to bend back and sighed in relief when it didn\'t hit her before continuing forward.

"What\'s the deal with this dungeon? It\'s no surprise that no one can make it through," Ian said as Nessa and the others felt something ahead of them and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Guys, be careful," Ian warned, and they nodded as they passed through the moving walls and came to another opening, where they gasped as they saw another snake ahead of them with angry red eyes, hissing.

"Not again," Nessa said as she took a deep breath and release fire breath and the creature roared in pain while moving and they jumped back as Nessa\'s eyes narrowed while looking at how long it was taking the creature to die.

"Attack it again, now,\'Yonja said and they all released attacks on the creature who hit his tail on the ground, creating an energy wave that sent them all crashing into a wall and Isamu began growling at the snake then Nessa got back up and before Isamu and Terou could attack it, she placed her hands on their heads and they flinched before looking back at her.

"Lady Nessa," Isamu mumbled.

"It\'s going to be fine, relax," She said with a gentle smile and they lowered their heads while glaring at the snake.

"It\'s tough, it\'s stronger than the one we just killed to get through here, damn it," Sophia said and Nessa exhaled deeply.

\'How are we going to get past this thing? We don\'t know what else will be awaiting us in this dungeon and we cannot use up too much of our strength,\' Nessa thought before looking at the time and when she saw it was already late in the night she sighed.

[Master, let Yonja use wind slice and you use fire, due to the cut and fire, it will burn through its body.]

"Thanks," Nessa mumbled.

[You are welcome, but keep in mind that the creature spits acidic venom.]

Nessa\'s eyes widened as the snake opened its mouth wide and she sighed.

"That\'s acidic venom," Nessa said as Cortan jumped in front of them creating another barrier and as the name spat the venom on them, they looked at how it burnt part of the ground and Yonja sighed before patting Cortan on the shoulder.

"Thanks," They said and he smiled at them before returning their attention to the snake, knowing that it was not done as yet.

"What should we do next?" Niva asked as Nessa wiped her eyes since she was getting tired due to all the moving about and they hadn\'t gotten a chance to really relax themselves.

"Are you sure you don\'t want us to help, Lady Nessa?" Isamu mumbled, and she turned to face him, smiling and bracing her head against his back and he looked at her.

"It\'s fine," She responded while looking at the snake who was moving so fast that they didn\'t have an opening for an attack as yet.

"That thing is moving really fast, how long can you hold up the barrier for, Cortan?" Ian asked and he sighed before yawning.

"I don\'t know, I am getting pretty tired here, we are using too much energy and the monsters keep coming at us, will we be able to get to the end of this dungeon to clear it?" He asked and they looked at each other before smiling, knowing it will be hard for them to clear the dungeon, but little did they know, there was more than just a strong monster to fight next and things were indeed about to get a lot harder for them since they won\'t back down and wanted to clear the dungeon.
