Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 194: Marking

They noticed that the section they entered was not broken apart, and there was nothing there except a bunch of markings on the wall about the past.

"The marking is very nice, but what are they even about?" Sophia inquired as Nessa passed her hands over the marking, and she gasped when she saw a marking with the diamond in the palm of a hand, and they looked at her before returning their attention to the marking.

"What's the matter?" Niva asked.

"Nothing, it's nothing, let's keep on going, I think I might find more than what I bargained for in here," Nessa responded as she walked away and Niva smiled then they followed her.

While walking, Nessa's eyes lit up green and the energy within her body began growing.

[Master, the particles within your body are acting up again, and this time they're getting stronger; I believe this dungeon has a lot more to do with this than we realize; are you sure you want to continue down this path?]

"Yes, I will continue; I need to find the source of all this; I'm not sure what I'll be risking, but whatever it is, it's dangerous," She responded and Isamu looked at her, and she smiled and patted him on the head.

"Are you going to be okay, lady Nessa?" He asked as the others walked behind while being careful and finally they came to a stair and she scoffed, then looked up to where it was leading.

"Should we follow it?" Sophia asked.

"There is no other path, this place is huge, it keeps changing course and we can't break through it, we have to follow the path it gives us because those are the ones where the obstacles will be the hardest way to get to whatever is in here," Yonja responded.

"So shall we go or not?" Niva asked and Nessa sighed as Yonja walked ahead and they followed him up the stairs, then they which lead to a darker part of the dungeon.

"We don't have much of a choice and we can't split up here," Ian replied.

"Yeah, splitting up is not a good idea, not at all, we will go through that very entrance you chose Nessa, pretty sure none is safe," Yonja said and she sighed before looking at the entrance.

"All right, come on, let's go, but be careful, I have a good and bad feeling, that's not..." She replied and Sophia patted her on the shoulder, then they entered the next entrance and the opening behind them closed and they jumped, then followed the hallway, to see where it would lead them.

Upon arriving at the end of the hallway, they came to an opening and their eyes widened as they stared at the view before them.

"Wow," Ian exclaimed, staring at what appeared to be a part of a forest with tall, slim rocks and strange creatures flying over them, and then they realized they were standing on a hill and gasped when they saw how high it was and knew they had to get down to the bottm in order to keep going.

"Guys, it appears that we must jump because there are no other entrances or so," Yonja said, and Nessa sighed as Isamu and Terou looked at her.

"So shall we go ahead and jump or do you guys want to take a breather?" Ian asked as they exchanged glances and Nessa looked down and saw the ground as well as huge scorpion creatures and she chuckled.

"What's the matter?" Yonja asked.

"Look down," She responded then they looked down and sighed when they saw how big the scorpions were.

"I bet they are not ordinary either," Nessa said.

"I bet the same thing, seems pretty bad to me," Yonja replied and she smiled.

"Yup, voted for a breather, I am going to take a deep breath first," Sophia said before sitting down on the grass with the others and they chuckled.
