Novel Bin Chapter 417 Water Zone Part 1
"A taming spell?" It was a possibility. I did have Mr. Blobs. So I know it is possible to tame monsters. I looked up at the fire dragon who was staring back at me. "Do you want to try?"
"Would I be able to leave this place?" The fire dragon asked.
"As long as it allows us to pass through the boss room, then yes, you will be able to. And. I will not bind you to do anything. You can roam the world as you see fit." I would not bind him into being my pet or anything like that. I am only doing this because I do not wish to kill one of my own kind who did not seem to be bad in any way. To be honest, it kind of left a sour taste in my mouth thinking about killing another dragon.
"Then we can try…." The fire dragon bowed his head. I smiled and walked over to him. I placed my hand on his forehead and closed my eyes, and took a deep breath before opening them again. A white light began to shine underneath us as a magic circle formed under us. It did not take long for me to see a new message pop up.
[Would you like to tame the Fire Dragon?]
I hit yes right away, which caused the light around us to increase.
[Name your new pet.]
"Hordren," I whispered, causing the light to glow so bright that everyone had to shield their eyes.
When the light dimmed. The barriers blocking the exit from the boss room disappeared. It had worked. Not only did I not need to fight Hordren, but I was able to save him from the dungeon. He could now roam freely around the world once more. I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "You are free," I said with a smile.
Horden looked at me with tears forming in his eyes as he knelt down in front of me. "You have my thanks. I owe you my life and will help you whenever you need me. Just call for me when you are in need of my help."
"Alright, but for now, I still plan to dive deeper into the dungeon so take a rest inside your space. My. Blobs says it is actually quite cozy in there." At least, I think this is what he said…. It is hard to judge sometimes based on jiggles.
"Then I will. Please call me if you need me." With that, Hordren disappeared into a stream of white light and entered my body. It felt kind of strange. I was a dragon with a dragon pet…..
I looked at my pet window to see an avatar of Hordren there next to Mr. Blobs and the rest. At least for now, he would be able to live freely once I leave the dungeon. Where he will go or what he will do, I will leave that up to him.
"Now then…. I guess we should finish our little tea party, shall we? Atollie, come take a seat." Since we already had things out, I did not plan to finish my tea party too soon. We ended up spending quite a few hours chatting. The girls tried to include Atollie as much as possible, but since she had no idea what we were talking about, she only gave a gentle smile. I must admit that smile was very angelic.
Afterward, we packed up and moved to go to the twenty first floor. We were met with a major issue. We stood on a rocky outcrop that overlooked a vast ocean. Behind us was just a door that stood in the middle of nowhere. You could literally look at the back side of the door and only see more water. But if you stood in front of the open door, you could see a staircase leading up.
"What should we do?" Adel looked at me, and I looked at the others, but no one had any good ideas on what to do here.
I sighed and transformed my armor into a bathing suit, and said: "Stay here. I will be right back." I then dived into the waters to take a look, but as I swam down, I could only see darkness… I did not wish to go too far, so I quickly resurfaced. When I reached the top of the waters, I saw that I was a little further away from the rocky outcrop, so I had to swim back. I climbed back up with the help of the others and shook the water off my body. "It\'s too dark to see. But if I am right, we will need to dive to the bottom."
"How are we supposed to do that?" Sei asked, but the answer was simple. "We will use a spinning barrier to form a bubble around us. But I am unsure if we can fight like this…." I answered with a sigh. Because there were many flaws in my idea, we would need to move to the bottom of the ocean floor, but how were we going to fight?
"That may work, but if the barrier is spinning, won\'t we be asking for punishment if a powerful monster appears? We won\'t be able to avoid it if we accidentally attack it." Sally made a good point.
"Then, no spin, and the barrier will expand and retract as needed. This way, we can fight monsters as well to keep gaining experience points. I would hate to give up any free experience, but…. It will be hard to find the exit to the next floor…." I did worry about this, but I do wonder what we are going to end up fighting.
"I wonder if the exit will have a barrier keeping the water from getting into the stairwell or if it will just be a deeper water zone. We might have ten more floors of this or maybe twenty….." Adel also brought up some good questions.
"We can only keep advancing and try to work things out. Sei, you are good with map making, right? Can you keep track of our progress?" I asked. Sei seemed to have a knack for keeping a map inside her head that let us traverse areas quite easily.
"Will do, but I am not sure how well it will work underwater."
