Fox Tale Of A Dungeon Boss 61 Chapter 61: For Home Redecorating!

But the thought of just wantonly murdering all these guys bugged me.

A lot more than I'd have thought it would actually.

'...fine! Stealth it as best I can, fight if I'm found out.'

Yeah... I just made this needlessly more complicated huh. Slaughtering through a fortress and sneaking are 2 VERY different tasks. However, I got the ultimate cheat-code!

I can sense s.p.a.ce itself, so I can see the whole layout in my head and where everything connects!

'...you know, suddenly I understand why Dungeon Bosses always know where you are and are so hard to kill. If one actually was trying to avoid you, you'd never catch it in a million years.'

Alright... but if I go in these hallways, even with my new minimap or grid-view of the area, running into something is all too easy.

"...hey Luna. Is there any way to more easily climb that you know of?"

She snapped out of her shock staring at the corpse, turning to look at me. "Huh? Oh! Uh... yeah? Just use your mana to stick to a surface."

'?!'

I experimentally brought my hand up to the wall, a bit of icy-white energy coming out and enveloping my hand in cold air.

'Wasn't my aura usually colored the element of light and with bits of fire? Is it because I want to use it non-combatively and ice is better than fire for that?'

Shrugging off my questions, something I've gained a Proficiency of Level 5 in, I focused on trying to "seal" or stick my hand onto the wall, and see if I could Spider-Man this and climb over the fortress.

'Cmon baby, foxy wants spider powers! Actually what do fox powers entail? Instant magic! I'm better off than Peter Parker already!'

Alright, time to actually focus here.

The mana covered me hand, and spread to the wall I lay it against. And it... 'grabbed' it.

I dunno how else to put it.

Mana Grip I [Proficiency 1%]

Alrighty... let's climb!

I started to scale up, mana grip activating on all four contact points(hands and feet), as I scaled up. I looked down as saw my tail hanging below, subconsciously flicking side to side.

I gesture to Luna, and Fenrir became a cloud smoke to fly up, while she got close to the wall, covered her hands in blue mana, and began attempting to learn to stick to the wall.

Alright... what do I want to do? Should I just find a way to move on past without messing around? Obviously not! I want to gain the ma.s.sive amounts of DP available and the potential bonuses mastering a 2nd Dungeon may bring.

'...couldn't you use tell me?'

'This is actually uncharted territory? f.u.c.k YES I am going to TAKE THIS DUNGEONS CORE AND MAKE IT MY b.i.t.c.h!'

Luna looked up, having managed to get one hand to stick and one foot, and focusing on making it all four, looked up.

'Why's his tail waving so excitedly? Did something good or interesting occur? He keeps randomly getting himself pumped up and hyper...'

As I reached the roof of the first hall of the fortress, I looked around at the small courtyard I could see off to the left, and the towers sticking out of this part.

The other parts of the fortress were noticeably at a higher elevation than the last, like stairs, making it so you could see it all from the entryway for maximum psychological effect.

'You ought to get it if you plan on being any sort of decent Dungeon.'

'...hahaha! Did you just have a voice-crack?'

'Ah that's amazing... well it's a battle on the invaders mentality.'

'...you asked me what I was thinking of when viewing the floor plan of this Dungeon... it shows you all the size and majesty with a sense of scale and distance to instill awe and fear in you. Then everything gets all complicated in how the paths diverge and spread throughout, with multiple ways to the other parts of the fortress.'

'In short, first it awes you. Then it scares you with the unsettling dark and faint torch lights visible, as well as the fog. Then it demoralizes you in the maze of rooms, with treasure chests of... I'm going to say coins as a guess, or weapons? Something to make you go those ways to get treasure, while leading you away from the core and towards danger and portals to specific s.p.a.ces, like that dojo.'

<...you're getting="" really="" into="" an="" a.n.a.lysis="" to="" an="" extent="" that="" even="" a.n.a.lyze="" doesn't.="" impressive.="">

'Well it'll help me plan out your new floor plan I'll be implementing! No longer will the truly "Dungeon"-ish part be only in the circle stop the hill. I'll make you start being a true Dungeon from the outer radius of the ever-maple forest we took over!'

Luna finally caught up while I was thinking about my plan.

'Maybe a town-like setup with rope bridges connecting j.a.panese-style buildings?)I want to give them those red, peaked roofs on those ancient eastern buildings, but maybe like white-stone walls to create a fortress!'

'But for defenses I should get basic longe-range troops and walls to place them upon. Also I could build the entrance as a courtyard lower in elevation to everything else, so all defenders can lob longe-range attacks down upon the enemies heads!'

I'm getting really excited for home renovation after having a talk with the Fox G.o.d. Honestly the main reason I am here is to not die(duh), and also because each of these tests seem to be strangely rewarding?

I feel like a main character, getting a new ability or power-up after each fight! You know?

"What are we doing now Kyoku?"

"Now I'm going to try to figure out what conditions must be satisfied to convince a not-entirely-sentient s.p.a.ce to accept me as its master."

'I know my Dungeon is sentient, but that's only cause it learned that from me being a sentient, individual soul. Also a really strong soul. That helped. So it's a bit of an outlier in the "intelligent Dungeon" department.'

Luna paused for a moment. "Ah yeah, I guess as a Dungeon boss maybe you'd get something interesting to happen instead of a domain."
