Chapter 18: Chapter 18:Special Dungeon(Part 3)
-Four days later-
I'm currently hammering away at an iron ingot while, concentrating my mana inside of it through my hammer. It took a few hours to master runes from the oldman but I've learned it, he was suprised at me my learning speed, but I've also learned Enchanting but it and runes where in the same category it's what magicians use to make magic circles.
Enchanting depending on your level of control and writing single letter words that can boost your weapon or equipment power like sharpness and Durability runes it's similar to how magic swords are made but you'd need special materials cause most magic swords are magic equipment can work even without a person being good in magic.
But still though the past week and the old man has been a really patient person and all around good teacher though he can be a bit of a narcissistic drunk he's a good guy just dealt with a shitty life, it's because it doesn't matter how much of a good person you are life is still be gonna be shit. Fuck I hate it but it's the truth *sigh!* I could really use a smoke about now. I still have those Ygddrasil leaf cigarettes right?
Willis:"Good now place the blade the oil then we'll focus on making a hilt and then enchanting it." I nod and there stood a beautiful blade it was just a completely normal western sword but the way the blade glowed and the aura and Mana it gave off was a amasing sometimes I forgot how dense the mana is in this place I should start absorbing some later.
I began writing with a small pen it was specifically made to write runes and do enchanting. I concentrated mana in it and started to use like ink I wrote the runic language for durability but I added my own twist I added times 10 durability to it and times 10 times ATK along with times ten sharpness.
The sword when made had a durability of 350 and a ATK of 250 which now gives me an durability of 3,500 and an ATK of 2,500 a sword of this caliber is normally D in rank plus I used the old man's special forge so that should be +3000 extra ATK and durability sharpness doesn't have any value as I can see so this normal sword is op.
The aura of the sword glowed brighter which the oldman eyes brightened.
Willis:"Oi boy what did to you do with the runes?!?"
Issei:"Eh! Well I added times ten durability and attack and sharpness it's simple math."
Willis:"I see Hahahahahahahahaha boy you are one monster you know that, anyway here's a card it should get you to meet a friend of mine called Winston he's an elf he once helped me make a quite powerful sword back in the day he's quite the magician an A rank so he should help you he runs a magic academy on the third floor!"
Issei:"Thank you sensei!" The oldman look down guess he was the friend who made the sword for him and bringing up that memory must have made him think about his son guess they bonded over that sword.
Willis:"No thank you, there's something I want to tell you boy take a seat!" I did and he began to tell me about his family hearing it from him was different from the system, he went through many emotions happiness, sadness and disgust at himself. He even told me about the sword he made but was lost in the BOSS room where his son body was but it's probably melted by now an ability the BOSS of this floor possess.
Issei:"Well old man thanks for everything and sure you might've been a grumpy old bastard for a few decades but it's better late than never."
Willis:"Thank you boy also get hell out of my shop and leave the sword too ya think I'll waste my materials on you!"
Issei:"What but I made it!" I hugged the sword like it was my child.
Willis:"So what it's my materials that I use get your own, you know how to forge magical equipment and the magical forge so get hell out. I've pent up six days lust I need a really good whore house now."
Issei:"Geez oldman I thought you changed keep your sword I'm out!" I walked out of the forge and grabbed my cloak and left.
Willis:"That boy is one hell of a monster...Issei Hyoudou huh? I'm scared for the your enemies you'll make. Guess it's time for me to get packing *sigh!* this is gonna take all bloody week isn't it?"
I'm on my way to the adventurers guild haven't taken any quests but I converted my some to this world currency which is called Tols. Like your an isekai they come in Bronze, Silver, Gold and White Gold.
Stella:"Issei!"
Issei:"Stella why are you shouting?"
Stella:"Sorry it's just that I didn't see you for a few days at the adventurers guild and I heard from Mia you almost got into a fight." Seriously why does she already have a crush on me we barely talked. This is a bit alarming I may have forgotten Yanderes are a thing.
Issei:"Oh well sorry to worry you, I've been learning blacksmithing from oldman Willis!" Stella's eyes became wide and she began fidgeting.
Stella:"Y-y-y-y-you learned from Grandmaster Willis!" Oh yeah the oldman is a bit of legend for his powerful swords and equipment.
Issei:"Yep the oldman pretty stubborn though any way here!" I gave her 50 silver Tols exactly what I owed her.
Stella:"Thank you!"
Issei:"Anyway I'm gonna look for a job maybe hunt a few monsters!"
Stella:"May I accompany you?" she asked excitedly.
Issei:"Nah I'll be fine plus I got Rio and Sheng to back me up!" She looked disappointed but I went off, as I was about to enter the guild it stopped.
Issei:"Let's bust right through rankings instead!" Using my speed I dissapeared and arrived infront of the BOSS room, it was a giant door it was chained up and decked out with security runes, it was also being guarded by two men there was entire post who was watching from afar. They do this make sure that no BOSS monster doesn't leave the room I don't think they can but they don't want to take any chances.
Guard 1:"Who are you?"
Issei:"Issei Hyoudou I'm here here to solo the BOSS!"
Guard 2:"Listen here brat we don-!" I threw them out of my way easily
I gave it hard punched it broke open, I was met with long dark hall I could see skeletons all over ground some wearing a unique set armour. I recognised it looked like the Arcane Knights armour the oldman had one pair of that armour that belonged to his son, it was silver armour with black outlines each outline determine a rank his son was a captain so he had a blue outline.
-Outside-
Guard 1:"Shit we have tell everyone in town some idiot gone in the BOSS room."
Guard 2:"Why bother he's gonna die anyway!"
Guard 1:"Yeah but who's gonna explain that the scout probably already gone to report everything.
Guard 2:"Jeremiah is on watch duty today and knowing that guy he's super serious about his job."
Guard 1:"Shit.....wanna get a drink the battle should be broadcasted to the entire five floors let's just watch this idiot die."
Issei:"Another thing I read from Willis's files is that the entire BOSS battle will be broadcasted to the entire population he had to watch his son die and couldn't do anything about just like his wife did."
Ddraig:(I feel your remorse but heads up we don't know what the Boss may be we glossed over that detail because you didn't want to seem like an idiot staring into space.)
Rio:[Welp Glowy is right you should keep your guard up I can smell something foul!]
Sheng:[Yeah it reeks my bloody nose hurts!]
Rio:[Damn our powerful nose is a blessing and a curse at times, hope we don't find a guy who can fight with farts!]
Ddraig:(I highly doubt that.)
Issei:"Multiverse Ddraig!"
Ddraig:(Fuck!)
Issei:"I know bud I know!"
*Stella Pov*
I was sitting at a table drinking obviously, I was still bummed out I couldn't get some alone time with Issei, he's literally the only man to ever look at me like a person every guy I've met never looked at me like a person, but like some kind of morsel! Damian is an idiot and Roman clearly had other intentions.
Damian:"Yo Stella still bummed out prince charming bailed on you!" that idiot Damian is a loyal friend and companion when you need him to be, but that idiot can't be any more blunt. Ahhh Issei-Sama please come back soon my love, I just hope he isn't gay. I punched that idiot in his sending him flying.
Mia:"Stella please refrain from fighting in the guild do that outside please nya!"
Stella:"Fine." Another muscle headed idiot came up to me, it was Welsh I always hated that bastard just because he's a D rank adventurer it's really hard to level up enough as it is, plus who'd be crazy enough to hunt monsters and risk their lives just to level up a few times. (An/ Everyone with a power similar to the gamer in existence😐.)
Welsh:"Hey Stella heard your date dumped you why don't yo-!"
Stella:"Go fuck yourself Welsh."
Welsh:"You fucking whore why don't." I active a magic circle.
Stella:"[Aero Blast]" A huge amount of air launched him right outside the guild hall.
Walking through the door pass the knocked out bastard was Ned and Riley they were old adventurers who took a job guarding the BOSS room they don't normally get off this early.
Mia:"Nya? why are you two so early nya?"
Ned:"Some jackass took us down and bust up the BOSS room bastard was strong he threw us like toddlers!" Everyone in the hall perked up.
Aisha:"Really what did he look like?"
Riley:"Well he wore a black cloak had brown hair and brown eyes had a sword on his back!"
Ned:"Yeah I think he said his name was Issei Hyoudou probably some noble since he has a last name, I'm just waiting on the broadcast to start."
Stella/Aisha/Damian/Mia:"Issei?!?" I grabbed Ned's collar.
Stella:"WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM?!?!?!?"
Ned:"He was too strong we couldn't stop him, didn't you hear that he literally threw us like toddlers!" No I have to go I have to stop him. I got up and was about to run off but Riley stopped me.
Riley:"You know no one is allowed to ever enter the BOSS even walking past the door is taboo so I can't let you go!"
Stella:"But he's in trouble please let me go!"
Damian:"I'm sorry Stella!"
Stella:"No!" just when I thought I found the one.
*Issei pov*
Sheng:[🎵The word is the herb and I'm deep like Bob Marley. Lay back on the payback, evolve rotate the gates!🎵]
Ddraig/Issei/Rio:["(Contact!)"]
Sheng:[🎵Can I get a hit?🎵]
Ddraig/Issei/Rio:["(Hit!)"]
Sheng:[🎵 Boom bit with a brother named Tip and we're ready to flip

But the rest are doo doo

Tell me! Yo, what's the scenario?🎵]
Ddraig/Issei/Rio:["(True blue!)"]
Sheng:[🎵Scooby Doo, whoopie doo
Scenario's ready yo, rates more than fou-!🎵]
Issei:"Sorry to spoil your fun but the BOSS room is up ahead!"
Sheng:[Awww!]
Issei:"Don't worry bud I'll download more 'A tribe called quest' songs for you!"
Sheng:[Really thanks!] I downloaded some of my favourite songs and anime from my home universe. It was hard to get Ddraig to sing with us but we won in the end. If I ever get the chance to go JoJo I'll save Ceasar, Kakyoin, Avdol and Iggy.
And if I ever get the chance to go to Sword Art Online, I'm saving Eugio. It's what Julia would've would wanted, and I'm also gonna save Shallot's shark suite or get him a new one, that's the only reason why I'm going to the Devil Artemis universe and remind Filthy Frank to give Chin chin his chromosomes, Derrick would want that, he was meme Lord.
Anyway I walked into a room filled with skeletons and what seems to be a half melted and the middle there was sword a red sword it was emitting the most powerful Mana I've ever sensed from an object. It had black outlines and an orange gem in the middle of it and small blue gem at the bottom. It was sticking out of the ground while there was skeleton with an armour with blue out lines that must be Ranna. He was standing with his arms on the hilt of his sword. Just Just by this I can guess he was a badass.
Some green liquid started to flood the room and it took a shape of a slime they are really cute and almost harmless they normally stay outside of safe zones are warding points which are small towns are villages. But this one yes it cute but it was huge green and it seem to have crown on it's head.
Issei:"Observe."

Issei:"I see let's begin."
-In town-
Old man Willis was packing his things when he saw a screen pop up right infront of him as he got flashbacks of his son.
Willis:"Who in they're bloody mind would challenge that thing again?" he saw it was Issei he fell to his knees.
Willis:"No why is it you does the gods like to curse me so that I have to watch the people I love die infront of my again and again!" tears broke out of his eyes.
In the guild hall Stella had a grim look on her face everyone was watching to see Issei get killed just like the Arcane Knights years ago.
Welsh:"Hahahaha! It's great that little rookie get knocked down peg well not like he'll be alive to regret it." No one can interfere with a BOSS fight.
Stella was about to punch him in the face but she stopped by Mia who grabbed her hand, the beast girl shook her head and she looked towards her own screen.
-BOSS Room-
I unheated Ascalon from my back as I covered myself in Touki I then created a Mana Barrier around but it looked clear it didn't have any colour but incredibly dense I use mana Construct to do this.
Poison Slime:"CHUPOOO!!!" More slimes liquid came down from the wall in the forms of small poison slimes they're numbers were ridiculous!
The king slime fired a huge blob of poison which I easily dodged, but the slimes came and attacked from all directions.
I used breath of the sun and delivered multiple high speed slashes so fast it was blur, around me was a huge force field, but it wasn't it was my slashes, I made sure to cut they're cores it was a Mana core like I had.
The Slime King didn't take this kindly so it fired a blob of poison but I dodged and it hit the ground green smoke rose in the air as the ground eroded.
Issei:"I see you throw that poison around and even if the opponent dodges it evaporates and goes into the air and since this room is sealed off you can fire as much as you slowly poison your opponents while you overwhelm them with numbers not bad your not frontliner which means..."
Everyone across the five floors were watching and were all wondering what he meant, they saw what he did and many were amazed at his power.
Issei:"Your gonna boring as hell I wanted a good fight maybe if I reach the higher floors!" Everyone watching dropped down are had wide eyes.
Stella:"What does he mean?"
Aisha:"I don't know but what he use was ki a moment ago!"
Damian:"Really but why wasn't it white?"
Aisha:"He must be a grandmaster only grandmasters were known to have coloured ki!"
I took a kendo stance and charged my Scarlet Touki into my blade and I breathe and out with sun breath.
Issei:"Sun Dragon Flash!" I dissapeared and reappeared behind the Slime which was cut clean in half along with its core. The Slime dissapeared leaving it's core. A huge amount confetti rained down from the ceiling, at the same time there was a writing on every screen in the dungeon saying [Issei Hyoudou cleared floor 1].
I collected all the sliced up cores and stored them into my inventory. A door behind me opened up but I wasn't going in there yet.
I walked over to Ranna's corpse and bowed my head to his corpse.
Issei:"I met your father he's still as old and stubborn as ever though, I don't know if he was like that before I met him!"
???:((He was always like that!)) shocked I looked at the body infront of it stood an ethereal figure it was Ranna he as tall but he had the oldman eyes and his black hair his wife had blonde hair.
Issei:"I see so your Ranna."
Ranna:((Yes we would all like to thank you!)) multiple ghost came out from demons to humans, elf, beast man, merfolk, even Dragonoids a race of human dragons and lizard people even Goblins. Some races like Goblins and orcs teamed up and joined the alliance some however didn't and went into the wild. They attack villages and so forth but they are killed mercilessly.
Ghosts:"((Thank you)) they all dissapeared leaving me and Ranna. They must've passed on.
Issei:"Aren't you going?"
Ranna:((My soul is bound to this sword due to my attachment to it and I want to see the outside world before I pass on.))
Issei:"What are you?!"
Ranna:((Take this sword it is called 'Evoluzione Draconica' this blade was forged with the hopes and dreams of my father to one day see the surface world.))
Issei:"Alright then I'll take you up there it's my promise!"as I reached out to the sword my hand pulsed as the Boosted Gear appeared in grabbed the sword Ddraig's aura burst out of the gauntlet and sword.
Issei:"What the hell!!!" The sword dissapeared and the Boosted Gear went upto my shoulder there was the normal green gem on the front of my arm, but there was a blue one at my shoulder.
Issei:"Ddraig are you okay?!?"
Ddraig:(I'm fine it seems the Boosted Gear went through an evolution you can summon that sword again try it!)
I did just that and in flames appeared the sword except it had green gem carved in Ddraig's symbol on the flat part, it also gained yellow spikes.
Ranna:((Well this is unexpected!)) Ranna was talking from my shoulder in the blue gem.
