Chapter 466 Face To Face With Azengrade Part 1  

The next morning, we got up and got our things together. I made sure Adel had multiple protection barriers on her, just in case. When we arrived at the entrance to the dungeon, I did not enter right away but instead turned and looked at everyone. "We will be entering the dungeon. But you all must be very careful. We will be taking the shortcut to the boss room. I do not wish to spend too much time in this dungeon. Of all the dungeons, this one is the one I hate the most. I plan to blow the entire dungeon up once we are done. I do not want anyone to ever come to this place, even by accident.

"Azengrade might also be there. If he is, Atolie and I will be the ones to fight him. Sophie, Grace, your job is to protect yourselves and Adel. I will be putting up another barrier around you both at that time, just in case, as well. Any questions?" I asked, looking at the four girls in front of me.

Of course, Adel was the first to raise her hand. "Faith, who is Azen… Azen… Azenfart!?"

I couldn't help but laugh, seeing how badly Adel got his name wrong. "He is an enemy. My enemy. You do not need to worry about him since I will kill him as soon as I see him. He is a threat to all life on this planet." "Oh…" Adel's expression did not look too good. But there was nothing I could do about it. I had to be more upfront about what I would be doing.

"Alright, we will enter, let's go!" I turned and made an opening in the barrier I had set up before and walked through it. The girls followed right behind me. Once they were through, I closed the barrier back up, and we all entered the dungeon.

The layout of the dungeon was completely the same. The first room was a safe room, and nothing was out of the ordinary. The only thing I did notice was that I did not see any signs of anyone else entering. This dungeon was a public dungeon. This meant that everyone could enter at any time. Monsters would respawn after a certain amount of time, so it allowed for the flow of traffic to always have something to fight.

"Stay close. Atolie, Grace, I need you two to help Sophie and Adel after I break the wall." It was a long drop, and Sophie and Adel could not fly yet.

"We will make sure they get down safely," Atolie answered with a nod. She was still as serious as ever, but then again, this was a serious situation.

We made our way to the first room, where six goblins were standing in wait. We quickly dispatched them before blocking the door to the room. I went to the wall on the far side and raised my fist. I drew it back and then thrust it forward. With a loud bang, the entire wall shook and cracked open. It did not take long before the boss appeared. Unlike before, where it was going to be a hard fight, I gave it a slap and sent it to the floor below.

"Alright, let's head down." I stepped up on a broken part of the wall and looked down into the abyss below. Taking a deep breath, I jumped down, folding my wings out to slow my descent. Atolie and Grace were behind me. We slowly flew down to the bottom floor, where we were greeted by quite a few monsters. I dispatched them and then killed the boss, who was hanging around the core of the dungeon. Everything took no more than twenty minutes. Most of my time was spent falling from the floors above.

"Now what…." I pursed my lips and looked around. I walked over to the core and was about to touch it when a voice came from the side.

"I would not touch that if I was you." The voice was very familiar. I turned to see Azengrade standing there with a slight smile on his lips. He was still looking down on me, which meant he had not checked how strong I was yet.

"What can you do to me if I do?" I asked lazily as I reached out and touched the core. Azengrade's expression slowly changed from a smile to one of a murderous, cold grin.

"I told you not to touch it! If you had just listened to me, I could have let you live!" Azengrade pulled his sword out and went to attack but before he could, he was already dangling in the air. Atolie already had a hold on his neck.

I took this chance to quickly cast a barrier around Adel and the rest before turning my full attention back to Azengrade. "What right does a parasite like you have to tell me what to do? You go around taking over people's bodies. If they have family, you will even infect them. Azengrade, on this day, you will die."

"Cough! How do you know my name!?" Azengrade struggled to speak, but his eyes showed how surprised he was.

"You can say we have had many run ins now…. You will die here. Your plan to lure people into this dungeon will fail. You will not get to have the fun you wanted. I mean, I already destroyed the base in the undead kingdom. And I will keep finding your kind and destroying them each time. This world will not be consumed by your kind." I answered quite honestly.

"You do not know what you are getting yourself into! If you kill me…." Azengrade expression changed. I think he realized something was wrong.

"You do know this dungeon is in a space of its own, but whichever god created it, right?" I asked mockingly. "By you coming into this dungeon unless the backer who is helping your kind is able to break through the spell cast on this dungeon, you are unable to be rescued."
