Once the young oracle talked about her vision the humans had a feast.This wasn't to celebrate the first successful defence but to welcome their new neighbours.
They weren't a fully united or integrated force but the village elder was grateful for the help they had given his granddaughter.It was the start of a great friendship and alliance.
The two sides got to know each other a bit.The Aiki fishing village possessed two elite humans.A man and a woman both of them were at level 1.They happened to be the oracle's parents.
Frank and Viviane were of similar height to the other elite humans-about 7 foot tall.Frank possessed the rare rank skill called summon scout drone.Viviane possessed a rare rank skill called force field projection.
Frank's skill enabled him to create up to six scout drones.These scout drones looked as though they were made of metal with a large glass lens in front.They kind of resembled fat cyclops fish with somewhat large fins that swam through the air.
These scout drones could act independently and broadcast what they were seeing into Frank's mind even from a far distance.He could set patrol routes for them and their durability and speed corresponded with Frank's own physicality.These scout drones currently had no means of self defense and were quite noticeable however.
Viviane's skill enabled her to project force fields around herself and other people or objects.These force fields were quite durable and could handle a lot of punishment and force.They weren't too strong against magic though.
Arther and his friends found the summon scout drone skill quite interesting.It was the first time they had seen a summon type skill.Not to mention the scout drones that were summoned looked like nothing they had ever seen.
...
The creature of bone and sinew followed the scent and there it was.Its master would be pleased with it.Perhaps it would recieve an award for its service if it survived the dangers within.
The crack in the mountain face radiated mana.The mana wasn't as thick or as strong as the magic radiated by its master but it was growing quickly.
There were two guards in front of the new dungeon but they were weak.Insignificant ants that dared to try and withhold this prize from its master.
The guards quickly noticed it.They were composed of a kobold and a goblin.They were ill prepared with weak equipment and gear.This would be easy.
The kobold and goblin charged towards it.Both possessed halberds and swung towards it.It dodged with lightning quick reflexes then disemboweled the kobold with a flick of its claws.It then strangled the goblin with its long and flexible tail.
It watched with satisfaction as it saw the light in the goblins eyes dim and fade out with death.It then dropped the goblin corpse as though it was a broken toy it had grown bored with.
It then entered with dungeon with arrogant and entitled steps.As it went through the entrance and its vision temporarily dimmed it opened its four eyes once again and looked at the new scenery.It was in a brightly lit cavern with a forest inside of it.
It's master watched in the back of its mind and urged it forward in order to glean more information about this new dungeon.The creature then looked upwards seeing some sort of automaton swimming through the air.
The creatures master didn't know how to respond for a bit.It was expecting some organic lifeforms judging by the forest but now it was seeing an automaton.This was either a entity of the dungeon or one of their creations.
...
Gaia had been observing the interactions between the humans until it witnessed something near its entrance.Arther had also noticed as he had summoned a scout drone and sent it towards the entrance.
Gaia payed closer attention to the creature that entered.It was an ugly asymmetrical thing of bones,sinew and rotten flesh.It resembled a large humanoid alligator zombie.It looked as though its body had been altered to make it more efficient at killing.
Brutal bones spikes covered its back and it possessed scythe like claw and talons.It possessed bulging muscles and mismatched limbs that sometimes protruded at weird angles.
[Warning:The monster of a hostile dungeon has discovered your dungeon.]
This was news to Gaia.She genuinely had no idea if there were others like her but now it was confirmed.To think that they would have such ugly inhabitants though.
It was then that the creature spoke.It was an unpleasant noise filled with gargling and the buzzing of insects stuck inside its flesh.
"So...Gaia is your name.Submit your core to me peacefully and let us become one.We shall rule and conquer this world as one almighty core."
