Will of chaos

On the 92nd floor of the Forest of Beasts Dungeon.

"Irina Now!" (I)

"< Field of Light and Shadows >" (Irina)

We were in the middle of an attack inside a city in ruins that nature had already claimed back, in this city there were three types of monsters, some kind of boxing Gorilla whose bodies are coated with layers of metal, some kind of humanoid Cat that uses the Thunder element to increase speed and some kind of Harpy whose body is covered in flames.

These monsters work together taking on different roles in their attacks, one of them defends, the other attacks head-on, and the last one tries to ambush us while we try to deal with the other two.

There are hundreds of them all over the city and they move around this ruined city with great experience.

To deal with these monsters I let Irius, Kira, Irina, Ibuki, Karina, Ivan, and Jade fight while I test another one of my evolved skills, a skill that increases my stat and those who follow me when I'm leading combat, I want to test it too the power up of my allies within range of my Aura by another of my abilities.

I went to get the others after reaching the 91st floor, I went back outside the Dungeon and asked them to come to me and I summoned them, all the most important people in the Dungeon have rings which are contract type magic items that allow to be summoned by me, that's because of my powerful summoning skill.

I spread my Aura all over the city while the others spread out to attract the monsters to one spot like it was done now, even if they can fight in a group it doesn't mean they have knowledge of group combat tactics to know what we are doing.

Once everyone has gathered most of the monsters, Irina activates her most powerful spell, a Light and Shadow combination spell on a barrier.

With that, she activates corrosion only in the Light element throughout the combat field that her barrier reaches while Shadows protect her companions from her attack in the area, she thinks about using variations of this magic, and for that, she has studied a lot.

Soon the entire city center is covered by a triangular barrier with a strong light burning everything inside, but I can still see black dots moving inside the barrier.

After several minutes the barrier disappears revealing a flat land with a smell of burning everywhere, so the others gather as Ibuki and Kira hold their noses.

"That burning smell is different from roasting their meat." (Ibuki)

"I can't do anything about the smell." (Irina)

After they come close to me I let Nix recover what's left of the corpses, we can always leave the dismantling of monster corpses to the Dungeon people, that way we can make the most of everything from them like skin, bones, claws, organs, meat, core, etc.

"How did you guys feel?" (I)

"I felt stronger during combat, plus during the run to lure the monsters here I was attacked at a speed I normally wouldn't be able to, and somehow I managed to dodge the attack." (Irius)

"I felt that the magic was a little easier to control, it also took less mana than during my previous training." (Irina)

"It's hard for me to say, I'm always under your influence because I'm your Priestess." (Karina)

"I was faster and stronger, I also felt my senses sharper." (Ibuki)

"I felt the same as Miss Ibuki." (Ivan)

"What I felt was an increase in general stats, plus I felt like my own Aura was being boosted by hers, master." (Jade)

"..." (I)

It seems that the boost works as the description of the skill indicates, but I who am providing this boost did not feel anything, I did not feel for 1 second that I was providing this boost to them, in fact, I felt stronger while I was giving orders to them, which shows the strength I gain from being in the lead.

"From what everyone has said the effects probably extend as far as my Aura reaches as they were out of my sight before they arrived here in the center of the ruins." (I)

"That's enough training for today, I have a lot to think about, let's go back." (I)

We all made our way to the safe room, we could have explored the surroundings more, but we weren't desperate for resources or money, so we can leave that for another time.

I had a lot of good fights that day and I tested several of my new skills without mentioning a single skill, but I think it's better to leave that one for another time since it scares me a little what can happen.

----------

We all went back to the safe room on the 1⁰ floor of the Dungeon, I was planning to take the others back to our Dungeon when we left this Dungeon, but as soon as we passed through the entrance of the Dungeon we noticed something shocking.

Leaving the Dungeon we see a large sword stuck in the ground, this escape was so big that we saw the hilt of the sword above the trees, it was in the direction of the city.

Furthermore, there was a large crack in the sky above the sword that was releasing a ridiculously large amount of what I imagine to be miasma like a waterfall of black mist, there was also some kind of creature trying to force its way through the crack.

I use my senses that have become much better since my Enhanced Senses Skill became Eclipse King's Enhanced Senses.

"This is really bad, really bad..." (I)

I was seeing hints of flames, and beams of energy of various colors, I could feel Nature's energy churning more and more, and I could see a large number of monsters coming out in the middle of the miasma waterfall.

"The city is being destroyed by a Wave of Monsters, but... but I don't think we should do anything..." (I)

Even from this distance, I could tell that the creature trying to pass through the rift in space is comparable in power to a Nature Titan, I can't do anything against that, I would probably be killed just by the look of this thing, I'm sure there will also be many powerful monsters in there, it would be suicide to go there, nor can I put others in a place that I myself dare not go.

"I take care of the big one, go!"

The voice came from above like thunder to my ears, when I look at the clouds what I see is a colossal silhouette flying towards the city.

"..." (I)

"Do you want to go to the city?" (I)

"Yea!!!" (All)

"Then let's get ready." (I)
