《The Paradoxical Dungeon》Chapter 10: The Battle Begins
Advertisement
I was planning my next upgrades when I sensed something worrying. Looking to see what it was I noticed around 100 humans were marching towards the entrance to my dungeon. At the front of the group was a man with full plate mail and twin swords strapped to his waist. Behind him was a man seemed to be wearing ordinary cloth and was holding something that looked like a Japanese katana. Behind them was a female mage and what looked like an elf archer.
While I was starting to form my plan on how to fight them. They did something that made me have to rethink my whole plan. They broke up into smaller groups and ran into the dungeon.
The first three groups all had different symbols on them and were probably hired to help them fight me. The next to ran in just moments after them and were clearly members of the empire even if they were much stronger then the scouts that they were sending after me up till this point. The second last group which was much larger then the rest seemed to be random villagers that were just given weapons for the first time in their life. I could tell how little exuberance they had with weapons just by the way they held them. After the rest have entered, the four that seem to be the leaders enter together. With them now wondering around my dungeon, I start to think of a plan to deal with them all.
After a bit of time of them wondering around my dungeon. I finally have a plan to deal with them all. I will send Blaze and 75 members of his tribe after one of the groups. I will then do the same with Aqua, Gust, and Bolt and 75 members of their tribes. With four groups taken car of, I can send 75 beetles after the last group and 25 after what is probably ordinary villagers. Once they are done with their fights, I will send them all after the group of four, hopefully killing them all.

I am about to set my plan in motion when the villagers lose their first man. Triggering a trap they are hit by multiple arrows. killing 5 of them. Seeing their friends die, some of them start to panic and run into even more of my traps. With three more of them down, their group is down to around 15 members. With more of their friends now dead, they stop moving and stay exactly where they are. With them no longer moving, I send in the 25 monsters to their position.
Knowing that I no longer need to worry about them, I start to send in my monsters to the other groups as well. With their orders now clear, I watch as swarms of beetles move out from there nest and start to move towards all the pray. Large clouds of black moving out in every direction. Swallowing up everything around them and leaving nothing living in their wake, they destroy anything that is foolish enough to be in there way.
I snap back to reality as I notice that the group lead by Aqua has reached its target. Ignoring my worrying train of thought, I start to focus on the fight. Aqua is in the back of the group, firing his water blades while 50 of the normal beetles swarm around him and start to fight with the enemy. Seeing the monsters moving towards them, the humans start to run as well.
Clashing in the middle of the hallway, the beetles start to fight with the human warriors. The beetles crushing the humans as they swing their swords in vain. I think that they have no hope of winning when suddenly a large fireball is launched, killing one of the beetles. Looking to where this came from I see the groups only mage had just fired off a spell and hand many people covering for him. Noticing that things just got interesting, I order all the beetles to go straight for the mage. With their new orders, the beetles start to swarm at the Mage.

Noticing what they are doing, the humans start to back up towards the Mage as they are being picked off by the beetles that are trying to get to the mage and Aqua trying to open up a path. With all of this happening, the Mage reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blue veil. Looking at it for a moment, he opens it and drinks the blue liquid. As soon as he does this, the magic around him gets much stronger as he starts to fire of magic at a much larger rate.
With the sudden change, Aqua start to fire all its water blades at the Mage. But the mage sees them coming and raises what looks like a wall of vines in front of him. I then watch as the water blades seem to vanish as they hit the magic vines. Seeing this Aqua start to fire more water blades at him but is still unable to hit him.
While this was happening the normal beetles were starting to get closer to the Mage, having killed about have the people in their way. Seeing that there was no hope for them, the people started to run away. But before they could get away, the remaining 25 beetles start to swarm out the other end of the hallway and attack them from the back.
With the beetles on both sides of them, the humans have no choice but to keep fighting with the beetles if they don't want to be killed. Noticing that there was no hope for them, some of them started to pray, but most of them kept on fighting. As the beetles started to kill off the last couple of people in their way, the Mages barrier finally collapsed as he was pierced by a water blade. It was at this moment that I thought that they would finally give up. But to my surprise, they keep on fighting despite the fact that there was no chance of them winning at this point.
I watch as the last of them are killed off and am about to relax when I notice something. The other beetles have just reached their group to attack. I look over the other groups as I order the beetles that just finished fighting to start to heal up. As I'm going to need all the help I can get in the battle is about to come.

(Authors Notes) I know that I have been slacking on chapters. To try and fix this I will be adding a missed chapter queue from now on. Whenever I miss a chapter I will be adding one to the queue. And whenever I have chapters left in it, I will spend all of my free time writing till I get it back to zero. I will just be putting a ten in it, but if anyone posts the actual amount I will change it to that.
