Chapter 1: Trying to find a teacher part 3
{Testing Path}
The group of warriors exited from the portal, they found themselves in what seemed to be a giant dark cave, before someone could speak they heard a squeal coming from the top of the cave; a myriad of blood red lights were observing them and in a instant the creatures attacked.
[Everlasting light]
Fluder casted his magic and a ray of white light illuminated the cave, the creatures, who turned out to be bats, fled from the light.
"What in the world were those?"
Gazef asked.
"Vampiric bats, they can drain a human from every last drop of blood in few seconds."
Evileye answered, before anymore questions could be asked a noise of metal against metal echoed in the cave, everyone took out their weapons; from a corner appeared a battalion of skeletons armed with magical armor and weapons.
"Oi oi is that real? Are those magic items?"
Asked Gagaran, Draudillon scoffed.
"This is only his way to welcome us."
She said.
"Get ready!"
Roared Remedios.
"What a..."
Began Tia.
"...unusual welcome."
Finished Tina.
{11th floor}
Momonga sat on the soft sofa.
"You say there are new challengers."
He said.
"Indeed Lord Momonga."
Assured Pandora's Actor.
"Well then, let's see..."
As he said that he activate his Mirror of Remote Viewing, on the mirror appeared a group of warriors fighting his Elder Guards, they weren't that good, they will probably die before reaching the boss.
Then three particular figures captured his eyes.
"Oh... Fluder, Keeno and Draudillon... they are here too... did they betray me? Uhm... unlikely, Pandora's Actor i think we will need to change the final boss of the dungeon, those three will have no problem with the current one."
Momonga said.
"Yes Mein Führer!"
Pandora saluted in german.
"I will surprise them Milord, i just had a splendid idea."
He said darkly as he left.
{Testing Path}
Leinas impaled the head of the last undead with her sword.
"Ok... first question what the hell just happened? Second question who was that undead you spoke to before?"
She asked panting, all the others seemed to be in similar situations and with similar questions, the first to answer was Draudillon.
"Typical of Momonga-sama, straight to the point, if someone couldn't surpass this there was no way he could end the test."
She explained calmly.
"The undead who allowed us to pass is Raime, one of Momonga-sama's creations and one of the few who gained a name among his servants, he is an Undead Emperor, a rare class upon undeads, gained only by the best warriors, he is probably as strong as one of us."
Explained Fluder who seemed relaxed and calm about the whole situation.
"We have no time to waste, let's continue, knowing Momonga-sama as i do it will only get worst as we advance."
Evileye said; everyone obeyed and advanced though the cave, the tunnels began to be smaller and smaller until they could only advance one at a time.
"I think that if it become even smaller i will not be able to pass."
Said Gagaran.
"Isn't there a spell to make me shorter for some ti-"
She couldn't finish as Fluder interrupted her.
"Sssshhhhh... silence."
He ordered.
"Hey! Old man what's your prob-"
Gagaran tried to protest.
"Silence Gagaran something is coming."
Interrupted Tia shutting Gagaran, all stopped and tensed their ears.
*SPLAT**SPLAT**SPLAT*...
The noise echoed through the tight tunnel, it was like many people were walking on something wet.
Suddenly from a corner a strange creature appeared, it had an inferior body that resembled a spider and the superior a deformed octopus.
Fluder gestured at the group saying to don't make a sound, the creature in fact seemed to be blind and slowly walked over them without noticing them, but it stopped in front of Neia, the creature sniffed the air in front of the paralyzed squire, a guttural sound exited from what seemed to be its mouth.
It showed them its oval mouth with five lines of teeth ready to reduce to a pulp their bodies, the creature began to walk again in the opposite direction to them.
As the creature disappeared behind a corner most of the group began to breath again or to pant trying not to vomit.
"Wh-what was that abomination?"
Asked Remedios as she covered her mouth trying not to throw up her breakfast.
"Probably one of Eldritch's sons... troubling."
Said Draudillon.
"What or who is this Eldritch Queen Draudillon?"
Asked Gazef.
"Eldritch is not the name of a thing or someone, it is the name of a place, a dimension where the most strange things live, in fact Eldricth in a lost language was a word used to describe something as otherworldly, weird, ghostly, or uncanny."
Explained Draudillon.
"We have little knowledge about Eldritch itself but from what we know that was one of the youngest and weakest being who inhabit that dimension; but do not underestimate them from their appearance, true, in an open field we would have easily won but in a tunnel like this we would have suffered great losses, also even dead touching their blood would curse you if not kill you."
Fluder added, Leinas frowned at the mention of the possible curse.
"Let's continue before it comes back, and let's hope that we don't find another one older and stronger."
Spoke Evileye.
{Momonga domain: 12th Floor}
The 12th floor was composed by Momonga's private chambers where only maids and very special guests were allowed, the room he was actually using was the Meditation Room.
Why an undead would need meditation one could ask, the answer is actually very simple, meditation was the base for the performance of Wild Magic.
Practically everyone in the surface thought that Wild Magic was a type of magic only usable by the mightiest dragons, it wasn't true.
Wild Magic require great meditation and perception of the nature around oneself, the only creature that had that much time for meditation and concentration were dragons, so only dragons could use it, but it was and still is a really uncontrollable type of magic and the dragons are reluctant in using it, if they lost concentration for a moment the magic would consume them and would become wild, from here the name Wild Magic.
He has been the first no dragon to be able to use it, someone could ask why only dragons could use it since undeads also were immortals if not killed, the answer was again easy, the undeads could meditate but not perceive the living nature around them because of their state of undeath.
Following this logic even Momonga should not be able to use it, but he has 2 things all the other undeads he met miss; one was his skill [Dark Wisdom] that helped him a lot in his training in the chaotic abyss that is Wild Magic, the second was the different approach he used in learning it, he meditated but focussed in the perception of dead nature around him, that created a link between him and the nature of this world.
But it has not been easy, he spent decades only in trying to percept the dead side of nature, since his presence was covered by the living side, almost a century to ideate a functional spell, other centuries in trying to master the perception of dead nature, even now he was still learning to master the chaotic sea that is Dead Wild Magic.
It was his trump card, it was what allowed him to destroy every Yggdrasil player who tried to attack him, even players stronger than him fell under his Wild Magic, a magic that ignored every rule of Yggdrasil and was unpredictable.
He stopped as he felt a new wave pass through the ocean of Wild Magic he was focussing on, his undead nature prevented him from panicking, that was a great asset in the usage of Wild Magic too.
He internally smiled while thinking about the years he spent in training Draudillon, the young dragon was a good student, he only hoped she continued her training even after their journey ended, for her own good.
He focussed again as he felt a stronger wave try to unbalance him.
{Slane Theocracy: Kami Miyako}
In the great cathedral in the capital of the Slane Theocracy a meeting between the cardinals and Pontifex Maximus was having place.
"Everything proceed as planned, everyone thinks that our ultimate goal is to exterminate the Dragon Lords, also the informations we left out of our country reached the right ears, they are afraid to attack us directly."
Dominic Ihre Partouche Cardinal of Wind said.
"That's good, we are strong enough, we will finally carry out the Six Great Gods' final wish."
Said the Pontifex Maximus.
A.N.
Ok i wanted to ask you a question, when this story will become my principal work would you like if i wrote it all by myself and publish it when it's already over? Or maybe prepare a whole chapter and then publish it? Or you prefer me to write part by part? Also what do you think about my interpretation of Wild Magic? It isn't something really used a lot in Overlord fics; tell me in a Review!
