《The Paradoxical Dungeon》Chapter 12: The Battle Ends
Advertisement
With no beetles left alive, I start to try and think of plan to fight him with him. And with nothing else coming to mind, I start to circulate my Mana and try to talk to him.
(Adam) "Hey, can you hear me?"
As I say this I watch him for any reaction, not getting one I decide to try something different. I focus on him and start to use some of Mana. Feeling something different, this time, I try to talk with him again.
(Adam) "Hey, can you hear me now?"
Noticing my voice, he stops moving and starts to look for me. Not seeing anything, he starts to speak.
(Man) "Who are you?"
Hearing him finally reply, I happily say.
(Adam) "I'm Adam, and you would be.
After he says this I simply stop trying to talk to him and just watch as he tries to find me. Dodging traps and walking through hallway after hallway. He shows no signs of slowing down, and with all my monsters killed I have nothing to do but wait for him to reach me.
(Man) "I'm Jon. What are you doing in this dungeon? You should not be in here."
(Adam) "I am the dungeon."
As I say this, he draws his sword and starts to point it around the room. Not being able to see anyone, he starts to walk around the rooms around him looking for someone. Giving up on finding me, he starts to look for my core again as he yells.
("Jon") "Where are you?! Show yourself to me"
Not saying anything, I watch him as he starts to yell and run down the hallway. Running from room to room, he starts to speak.
("Jon") "I will kill you, you evil monster."

(Adam) "What have I ever done that was evil?"
("Jon") "You have killed more than a hundred innocent people!"
(Adam) "Innocent? They were here to kill me. Besides, those nobles seemed to be ok with using their guards as shields to buy themselves more time."
("Jon") "They were nobles, it is the duty of soldiers to protect those that are higher than them."
(Adam) "So a humans value is dependent on who gave birth to them? Does that mean if I was a king, that everything that I did would be lawful and justified? That the lives of others mean nothing because I have higher rank than them? You say that I am evil, but you are nothing more than a hypocrite"
("Jon") "Enough of your lies, you killed my wife and you will die for that. There is nothing that you can do or say that will stop me from finding you and crushing your core with my bare hands."
After saying this, he starts to use a magic ability that seems to point to my core. Using this he starts to go through room after room, quickly moving towards me. Seeing that this is a huge problem, I start to circulate my Mana faster and even spend some of it to practice Mana arrow. With my last ability ready to use I wait in my chamber as I watch him slowly move towards me.
It's like this that I notice that he is clutching something in his hand. Looking closer, I notice that it is a pendant with a painted portrait of the woman that I killed and a little girl that I have never seen before. Thinking about it, I realize that if the older woman is his wife, then the younger one is probably his daughter. Which would mean that this man had a family and was still foolish enough to enter into a dungeon and risk his life for the sake of power. While thinking about what this and other things I have seen must imply about this world, I notice that he is starting to get much closer to my core room.

It is just a few moments after this that he finally reaches my core. Looking at me, he charges at me as traps go of all around him. The ground caves in, the ceiling caves in, arrows are shot at him, and poison gas fills the room as he is forced to a stop. But even this is not enough to stop him, as the rubble around him starts to shift and fall away. And it is in this moment that I start the next part of my plan and fire Mana arrows at him, piercing his left arm and almost blowing it off. Yet this is still not enough, as he keeps moving forwards and starts to speak.
("Jon") "How does it fell to be killed after killing so many people. To finally have the justice that you deserve brought down on you." Ignoring him, I just wait.
And it is when he is within ten feet of me that this waiting pays off, as the poison starts to take effect and he is forced to his knees. But he soon forces himself back up to his knees and continues to push towards me, seeming to be moving his body through sheer force of will. He raises his blade to me and starts to swing at my core. As I'm forced to us my final ability, a core modification that lets me explode, sending him flying and almost killing myself as everything around me starts to, once again, fade away.

(Authors Notes) Sorry for the short chapter, I had trouble writing it for some reason. Also to answer some questions I saw, he can only use Mana Arrow from his core and not anywhere in his dungeon. As for why I put his stats the end of every chapter, it's just because it bothers me if every chapter is not symmetrical and I want to be on chapters were the stats do change.
