Chapter 52 - Keeper of the royal treasury

Vergil and Keegan began to understand the theme of this floor a bit.Seeing the inbred creature in royal garments in front of them made it abundantly obvious.

This dungeon mob scion is known as Prince Vincent Augustus,a champion of the inbred royal Augustus lineage and keeper of the key to the royal treasury.This inbred cunt is the stingiest rich bloke on the second floor of the dungeon.You know the type,the ones who get buried with all their gold when their life comes to an end.Fortunately for Prince Vincent he doesn't have to worry about dying of old age now that his the mob of a dungeon.This Prince enjoys counting gold,touching gold,swimming in gold and drowning people in molten gold.I don't know,something about it being cheaper then solid gold statues.

"Fret not peasants for I shall grant thee the chance to become a part of my families wealth.Simply accompany me and I shall bestow upon you the greatest honour."

Vincent Augustus turned around and walked a few steps before realising that he wasn't being followed.

What was worse was that he was being attacked.Vergil had already equipped his phase blade katana and the dalmatian had barked.That was how Vincent Augustus knew he was being attacked at all.

Vincent Augustus took out a golden scepter with a carved 20 side ruby at the top of it.The ruby glowed a crimson light as Vincent activated one of his skills.Molten amorphous gold created a barrier between the inbred royal,the operative and the dalmatian.

It appeared that Vincent Augustus was within the squadron leader designation in terms of physical capabilities.This was apparent when he turned around with speed that impressed even Vergil.

The golden barrier transformed into vines and tendrils that attempted to grip Vergil who began running between the trees to entangle the large golden plant.This didn't work as The golden plant retracted its vines and tendrils and then transformed into a molten gold dragon which Vincent climbed onto.

Vergil took out a special gun that he had earned through merit points.He fired it at the dragon hoping to splatter the liquid but the bullets simply landed with splats as they landed against the dragon made of gold and melted instantly.Worse yet the melted bullets changed colour and transmuted into gold.This newly created gold was absorbed into the artificial dragon.

Vergil would've fired more bullets but the dragon took to the air and began spewing a heinous amount of fire.More fire then its body seemed capable of creating.The surrounding forest was set ablaze.The trees rapidly turned into charcoal from the sheer inferno.

"Huh I think I overdid it."

Vincent Augustus observed the surrounding area until his eyes fell on a dome of energy in the distance.Vincent Augustus controlled his golden dragon to make it collide with the dome of energy.The dragon was currently the size of a semi truck.Its broad wing span covered the dome and its sword like talons,claws and teeth began relentlessly striking the dome.

Vergil was shocked by Vincent's power.Vincent didn't do simple things with molten gold like shoot a few projectiles and create a wall.No he created complex structures,sculptures and creatures with his ability to manipulate the molten gold.Vincent's power eclipsed Kalmons power and the barrier wasn't going to last long.

Vergil felt like a failure.Keegan had been incinerated in the inferno and Vergil felt as though it was his fault.He couldn't cover Keegan with the barrier in time.The dalmatian continued to bark beside him.Vergil wished the dog was more useful.

Getting into that train of thought was useless though so Vergil began to think.Something felt off about Vincent's abilities.It required an astronomical amount of mana to create real long lasting materials that is undiscernable from their natural counterparts.The information Vergil got in his brain when thinking about the gold told him that it was a molten variation gold.

Three seconds till barrier falls.

The only answer was that the inbred freak was manipulating already existant gold but where was it all coming from.

Two seconds till barrier falls.

The only answer was that Vincent was summoning the gold from somewhere.The information had mentioned that Vincent was the keeper of the royal treasury.

One second till barrier falls.

That scepter in Vincent's hands must be the medium that his using to summon all that gold and manipulate it.

A thin crimson beam shot through the barrier before the second was up.The beam shot through Vergils thigh.Luckily it missed any major arteries and the wound would clot immediately.The barrier receded.

Vergil looked up to see that the golden dragon had been turned into a large golden tiger that was on fire.It was also in time to see the massive tiger swipe at him with its paw and send him flying.

The contact with the molten gold severely burned his skin and left some molten gold on him.
