Volume 3 {Chapter 1: Level Up!}


It was the day before the festival began. The day was coming its end and students were now psyching themselves up to the event. So they slept early tonight and got ready for the tournament tomorrow.

While they slept, a team of two were standing in the center of Beacon.

One of them was a young man, capable of wielding magic of all kinds.

Another was an android, with her Semblance to power themselves up.

Both were strong in their own rights, strong enough to battle countless waves of Grimm without tiring and emerge victoriously.

And now, they are about to enter a dimension filled with said Grimm.

"Are you ready, Aigis?" Y/N asked his partner as he readied his weapons.

"Affirmative. All systems are a go." She replied back, her hands changing into canons and readied.

"Then, let's do this. {ID Create}"

[YOU HAVE ENTERED A DUNGEON]

The system informed him as the entire landscape changed for the duo. The shining Beacon they saw was now crumbling before them, with potholes appearing underneath it and swallowed it whole.

While many would assume that Beacon is falling, this is not the case for them. The school before them wasn't the same one they all go to, rather a copy of it. Anything destroyed here will not affect the real world whatsoever. Unless you wield godly power or a literal one then you can go ballistic here without any repercussions to the real world.

The biggest of the bunch appeared beneath them as they fell towards the abyss below with no regard for safety.

Y/N fell headfirst, as well as Aigis to hasten their pace to quickly {LvL} up. To get stronger and more powerful. Before, Y/N paid it no mind to continue training since he was confident about his strength and diversity.

That all changed when Aigis died right in front of him. He was lucky {Robin Hood} had {Samerecarm} and revived her without any issues but it still left a scar in his heart.

It was a painful reminder to him, that through all of his strength and tactics there was something he cannot do.

Unless he was stronger.

Now, he will train. Until he is more powerful than his former self.

Y/N will make sure of himself, that no one else will die.

They continued to fall until they saw the ground coming up now. Y/N redirected his body as he cast magic for him and Aigis "{Wind Magic: Heavenly Wind Ark}"

Instantly, the duo found footing under a giant cloud Y/N made and slowly descended into the cave below.

No matter how vast it seems, Magic always has its uses to those who can wield it properly. And should he encounter someone as skilled as he was, then it's a good thing he's prepared for such an encounter.

A cold chilling went up to his spine and felt someone in his soul chuckling.

Before they could land, Y/N and Aigis all dropped to the ground since he dismissed the magic and looked at their surroundings.

It was an abandoned cave similar that to Mountain Glenn but instead, it appeared that this place was hollowed out by a giant monster. It was big enough for a battle to commence as well as how large it showed to them.

"Y/N," Aigis called out to him, on guard instantly. "Detection at the surface, an enemy is coming in fast."

"Then we better prepare the welcoming mat."

As soon as he said that, the cave shook a bit as some rocks were falling from above. Y/N and Aigis dodged them all as an explosion goes off far from them.

Something fell from the cave in and landed with a resounding boom.

Y/N then used {Observe} the boss of this dungeon as it called upon numerous insects from its body.

{OBSERVE}

NAME: The Griever

LEVEL: 90

TITLES: None

"Why does this boss seem so familiar?" Y/N muttered out to no one.

"Have you encountered a boss like him before?" Aigis asked her father, hearing what he muttered.

"Not a clue. Maybe we can get it to talk?"

"Unlikely."

"It was a joke."

"...I see."

Y/N sweatdropped at Aigis's comments and noticed the swarm getting close to him. He held his arm towards it as Creed locked the Dust underneath it with Fire Dust. "{Compound Magic: Hailstrom}

A series of fire bullets surrounded his arm and all locked on the to the swarm ahead. It fired and landed directly to each and every one of them with ease and soon, the swarm died.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" The Griever shouted at them for killing its off springs and jumped into action.

Aigis then summoned out her {Persona} to block it, but it changed. Not in regards to its powers but its appearance.

She told Y/N about it and felt like a new person after getting revived by him. The power to restore her seemed to unlock the full potential to her power and made her heart expand with power.

Thanks to Team RWBY for helping her getting though, with it, her Semblance evolved into something more powerful for her.

This was the power within her heart. It was the power to protect her loved ones.

"{Athena!}" The figure now presented itself fully as its shield blocked the massive creature with ease.

The Griever shouted in shock as it tried to break through the shield yet nothing happened. It was now stuck in mid-air which Y/N took the opportunity to attack.

He leaped to the air and positioned himself before the boss. Y/N pulled his arm back as Joker was behind him.

"{Sword Magic: Extend}" The blade then grew larger behind him and swung it at the boss.

{Athena} disappeared instantly as the extended blade struck on the boss' head. It cracked from the force and was shot down to the ground.

While Y/N was still held up high, he mechashifted Joker into Odin and aimed at the Griever. "{Megaton Raid}" The magic worked as expected and dashed the air towards the boss with the intention to kill.

The Griever couldn't dodge it, it was too fast so it curled up into a ball to minimize the shock from the attack.

*BOOOOOM!*

The attack struck its legs but felt immense pain afterward. One of the legs was struck by the blade and pierced through its thick armor.

Y/N pulled it out harshly and jumped to where Aigis is. "His armor is very thick so you'll have to wear it down."

"Affirmative. Commencing covering fire." Aigis then dashed to where the Griever is and aimed down her sights at it.

The Griever was now full of rage and pain. When it saw one of the humans who blocked his advance, it went to work it exterminate it from this world.

It attacked with its legs with pierces, swipes, and uses its body as well. But it proved nimble and dodged all of it while attacking it with multiple annoying pebbles shooting at it multiple times.

Aigis dodged a swipe and countered with her guns again. She jumped up high with the boss decided to pierce her and summoned her Semblance once more. "{Athena: Akasha Arts}"

Her {Persona} was materialized instantly and shot its spear at the Griever. The spear broke through the sound barrier and directly impacted its head.

The attack then dealt a wave of shock as the Griever shouted in pain once more. Aigis dodged another flailed attack as she landed nearest Y/N with the boss still screaming in agony.

"Great work, Aigis."

"Thank you, father."

"Why do you still keep calling me that? You already know your real father, I'm just your partner now."

"You are more than that. If it weren't for you, I would not have understood my purpose here. So, I will keep calling you father until unnecessary."

"...Do what you want."

The thrashing has stopped and now, visible blood was trickling down the Griever's head. It looked hateful at his opponents as it prepared one final attack. If it didn't kill them, then maybe it will trap them forever with it.

"KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!" The Griever shouted loudly at the ceiling, some of the rocks were falling but it didn't care.

It curled itself into a ball and then rolled faster and faster, aimed directly at its opponent.

Y/N merely looked amused at the desperate attack the boss is doing and let out a sigh. "This is its final attack. What a push-over. Stand back Aigis, I'm gonna kill this Sonic wannabe."

Aigis nodded and stepped back a bit. Y/N calmly walked to where the Griever was busy charging its attacks and just stood there.

It didn't know what the human was doing, thinking it was a foolish endeavor for him. But it cannot help the growing fear in its heart, that he should just stop and await judgment from him.

It disregarded it and blindly pushed forward toward the intruder.

With speed fast enough to leave behind dust and the force of a loaded freight train, it was confident that this will kill the strong human and the other one.

When it was about to hit the human, Y/N lifted his hand towards the moving target and only grinned. "{Tetracarn}"

It was there, that the Griever felt nothing.

At that moment, a massive hole in a cave broke through as a massive carcass broke the many layers of dirt and stone until it stopped.

The bloodied corpse could only let out a small shrill before it left the plane of existence.

________________________________________________________________________________

[You Have Leveled Up!]

[You have gained: Heart of Griever {Special Item}]

The pop-ups disappeared soon after as Y/N looked at his hand. The spell {Tetracarn} allowed him to repel any and all physical attributes to his opponents with ease. Back then, the only downside to this was that the required mana to pull it off was massive and it would only work for one attack. Meaning, if you were to shoot him multiple times, one of the bullets would be repelled while the others would hit ist mark.

The same applies to its counterpart, {Makaracarn}, that only repels magic or projectile attacks to its sender. So don't go off yeeting stuff at Y/N in hopes to get a hit on him.

"This is seriously OP. Thank you, {Robin Hood}." Y/N looked back at Aigis as she jogged over to him.

The massive hole that housed the Griever was still visible, implying that the next part of the dungeon is there. "Are we going to continue?"

It was in this case for Y/N, that after defeating the boss of this dungeon that they would call it a day. But with Arc 3 starting, Y/N needed to get stronger more than ever. He hoped that continuous grinding would land him the {Lvl} 100.

With newfound determination withing him, Y/N nodded and looked at the looming hole. "Yes, let's go."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shortly after leaving the boss room, the duo encountered Grimm after Grimm with each step of the way to the new boss room. Each part of the dungeon would lead closer to the boss, as well as giving the duo the {Exp} to level up.

They fought multiple times, shredded the Grimm in their way, decimated the forces before them as Aigis and Y/N's power grew more and more fearsome.

At the door for the boss, Aigis cast a healing spell to her teammate and herself, and all injuries or cuts from the battles were gone without a trace.

Over the course of grinding, they leveled up 13 times already and hit the 90 marks of their strength.

With a satisfied nod, Y/N looked back at Aigis as she nodded as well. The assurance from her, Y/N walked to the giant door before him. This giant door indicates that the boss's room is behind the doors. It reminded Y/N about {Sword Art Online} and their boss's room.

With a grunt of effort, the doors opened loudly and the eternal darkness greeted Y/N and Aigis.

The endless abyss was tempting Y/N, to jump in and defeat his opponents. Breathing in cold and thick air in the dungeon, Aigis and Y/N stood next to each other.

And jumped in.

The moment they did, the doors closed shut.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Y/N landed with a thud and stood up. There was dust when he landed and clouded his vision. "Aigis, are you there?"

"..." Nothing.

"Aigis?!" He raised his voice a bit since his partner was nowhere to be seen.

"[Y/N?]" His Scroll was on with a voice. Y/N pulled it out and saw it was connected to Aigis.

"[Aigis? Are you ok?]"

"[I am fine. But I cannot see you. Where are you?]"

"[I'm not sure. I think the dungeon separated us. Can you tell me your location?]"

"[... It appears that I am on a cage atop a spire]"

"[A what?]"

*BWOOOOOOONG*

A loud horn bellowed around him as Y/N cuts off his Scroll and prepares for battle.

The dust settled instantly as Y/N looked at his surroundings once more.

It was a wide arena, really wide, filled with sand and boards around it. A colosseum was built around him and housed thousands of monsters. These monsters were red Orcs, with tribal tattoos and bulging muscles. They all shouted with glee as the tournament can now commence.

Y/N only looked with confusion as to what is happening to him and saw one of the cages being open. He brought out his sword and shield and prepared himself for what is coming.

A beast slowly crawled out of there and sniffed the air. It landed its head at Y/N and snarled at him. It slowly crawled around him as Y/N kept his shield in front and sword behind.

{OBSERVE}

NAME: Stalker

LEVEL: 85

INFO: A predator like a beast. It is weak when alone but strong with its pack.

'Once again, you seem familiar. Where did you come from?' Y/N wracked his brains to see if he remembered this mob but nothing came to mind.

He was sure it came from somewhere, just doesn't know where.

All thought began to stop as the Stalker let out a howl and dash towards him. It bared its fangs at his shield and shifted his weight to counterbalance the force behind the predator.

It wasn't as strong as he expected, yet he shouldn't underestimate its power. So he pushed it away and slashed its midsection.

The sword cut its stomach and wad followed by a slash to the face. The predator instantly died by his hands.

The audience continued to shout for joy as more cages were being opened. And in those were more Stalkers, all baring claws, and fangs at him.

"So, this is what you want me to do? Fight all of your worthless grunts?" Y/N said out loud to no one in particular as the demons all crawled to him.

At that moment, they all attacked with their claws pulled back to slash at Y/N's back.

But at the same time, they all died by a sword Y/N swung and lay there lifeless. Y/N's face hardened considerably as more and more gates opened up, reveling Grimm and Stalkers coming out of them.

"Fine." He got into a stance as his eyes glowed bright grey. "I'll take you all on!"

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Aigis scanned her cage before her and the environment she was in. Like she said to Y/N, she was held captive inside a cage that was dangling from a tall spire in an open arena filled with sand.

It wasn't normal sand as she saw bulges and movement beneath it. 'Perhaps a creature beneath it?' Aigis tried to make some sense as to why the sand moved so irregularly but couldn't find the solution.

The moment she was in this cage, her Semblance was completely cut off from her. She can't access it at all but it was still there in her soul. Breaking these bars was completely useless since bullets seemed ineffective, as well as Dust.

In short, she was helpless. She can't do anything right now and was utterly useless.

The only thing she can do is wait for Y/N. Hopefully, he can help her in this predicament.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The arena was silent as the audiences can't find it in themselves to say anything. Violence and death were entertainment for them, hearing the screams of terror and agony was music to their ears and they enjoyed it very much so. Even if their kin was killed by the beast they held captive, they still shout out in joy for there was never entertainment without death.

Yet, they were silent. They shouted no joy, only whispers. Their eyes were glued to the only combatant there as he slaughtered numerous beast and kin without fail.

Y/N breathed heavily as the hordes of enemies seemed to diminish after the last one he killed. An hour passed by as he stood at the top of numerous monster corpses he has killed.

No matter how he killed one, many seemed to take its place and get killed as well.

While it was tiring for him, at least the reward was worth it all.

Level: 96

It was so close to 100 that he didn't care for how many stood in his path. He made sure that all of them would get killed.

With the last Grimm being dispatched, Y/N then paused for a moment to get his breathing in order. His mind was a jumbled mess of death and blood, so he thanked {Gamer's Mind} to clear it up for him.

Incessant noises filled the stadium as Y/N was worried about Aigis' safety. Sure, she can take care of herself but this is the boss room, meaning that Aigis could be held captive by the same boss.

He couldn't forgive himself if Aigis died under its hands, so he has to finish this.

Before he could go, one gate opened in front of him. It wasn't a special one, just from the arena but the challenger is.

A demon, clad in black clothes and caked with dust. Its body pulsed with lines covering it, likely with its own blood. But what stood out from the rest was the steed he rode.

A horse as black as soot trotted in the stadium. Its hooves endless set itself on fire up to its legs. Its mane was charred with fire on its ends and it breathed out brimstone. The saddle was outfitted with bones and iron, giving it a ruined feeling. It galloped to Y/N and its true size was revealed to him, almost 6' feet hight nearly towering him.

"I am impressed. No one has managed to survive in our arena. Especially to an insect-like, you are." The demon spoke, as deep and as hollow as possible.

"I am no insect. Come down that horse and face me."

The demon bellowed out a laugh, amused by the insects' threat. "Let's see how long you last, with only two legs to carry you."

The demon pulled on the reigns as the giant horse bellowed out its cry. Y/N jumped back a bit and used {Observe} on his opponents.

{OBSERVE}

NAME: Armamos

LEVEL: 98

TITLES: The Cursed Rider

NAME: Ruin

LEVEL: 100

TITLES: Apocalypse Horse, Horse of War, Ruin Maker

'A horse belonging to the 4 Horsemen?' Y/N immediately recognized the horse when he {Observed} it as such beast would only belong to its owner.

But before he could dwell on such creature, Armamos pulled out his blade from behind him and rushed him. The horse obeyed the demon and ran with its strength in tow.

Y/N blocked the blade from reaching him as the rider prepares himself yet again for another charge. The force behind it was strong enough to cleve an average Huntsman in half.

While Armamos was preparing for another strike, Y/N ran to where he was and shot a grappling hook near it. It propelled him forward towards the demon and pulled back his sword.

The demon saw him approaching fast and blocked it with his sword. Sparks flew away from the blades as Y/N pulled his left fist and coated it with Ice Dust. He punched the demon on his face but it wasn't enough to dismount him from Ruin.

After that punch, Y/N jumped backward and landed with his sword in front. The demon spat out in agony and charged once more.

Y/N waited for the demon to come closer to him, even baited him to counter his attacks. Armamos fell for it and charged in blind with rage.

When he was close, Armamos did a forward thrust at Y/N as he jumped towards him. He blocked the sword the demon held and punched him out of Ruin.

The horse, feeling no master, disappeared into flames and sunk into the ground.

Y/N still held Armamos in his grasp and threw him up in the air. He cast {Charge} on himself and placed his sword behind him, it glowed slightly as he waited for the demon to come down.

Armamos didn't register the situation he was in for a moment until he was falling into the ground. The demon didn't know why he was up here in the first place but soon saw who was the suspect. The insect was there with its blade behind him as Armamos only growled in response. "You insignificant worm! I will destroy you!"

So he made himself fall faster as he pulled back his fist and it grew into a tremendous size. Armamos had a giant grin on his face as the ground was now coming closer. The anticipation was killing him as he was about to see the corpse of this worm.

Y/N looked at the demon above and maintained his position. He just waited for the demon to come closer to him and anticipated Armamos targeting him.

When it was time, Y/N drew out Joker from his back and Armamos swung his fist at him. The giant fist nearly covered his body but he jumped backward and let the fist reach the ground. Y/N then ran to where Armamos was and jumped high into the sky.

The light nearly blinded the demon as Y/N came crashing down on him with his blade overhead. He swiped downwards at the demon and landed below the shadow of the fist.

Y/N slowly put back Joker into its sheath and it clicked there, signaling that the weapon was secured.

At the same time, the body of Armamos slowly fell apart as well with one half falling to the side of the arena while the other fell as well.

[You Have Leveled Up!]

[You Have Leveled Up!]

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ruin attacked him from behind and vanished into the ground once more.

Y/N looked around the arena and drew Joker once more. He couldn't sense Ruin coming from the ground so he'll have to act on instinct.

Just like before, Ruin attacked him on his blind side as he dropped Joker on the ground.

Y/N felt his {Aura Points} already on the red as the horse disappeared into the ground.

He knelt from exhaustion as he breathed heavily. The horse was trotting around him with some snorts of fire coming out. Y/N stood back up once more and the mare charged at him again.

When Y/N tried to block it with his shield, the horse sunk into the ground once more. He tried to guess where it will appear next but it attacked once more from his blind side.

Again, he kneeled in exhaustion as the horse only grew more angry and tired from this human.

Y/N once again stood up and stared down into Ruin's eyes. His eyes glowed with a grey hue as Ruin snorted in flames, its hooves tirelessly pounded the ground beneath it and the flames danced more fiercely this time.

Once more, Ruin ran with full force this time at the human. Y/N did nothing to oppose the beast and stood there. If this beast was the embodiment of Ruin itself, then he had an idea to soothe the beast.

Ruin is brought by conflict, actions that bled blood, and destruction. Conflict is eternal, but Ruin is forever. In order to stop Ruin...

Y/N saw the horse fast approaching and hoped that this would stop it. Just as the horse was about to make contact...

...You have to accept it all.

...it passed through him, barely phasing Y/N at all. He panted in relief as Ruin slowed down and trotted near him.

The beast stopped before him and snorted at Y/N. He only grinned at the majestic War Horse before him and walked to its saddle.

It nearly towered him so it was a bit hard to reach it, but once he did, Ruin bellowed in acceptance.

[You have tamed Ruin, the Horse of War]

["And I beheld a Red Horse, and the power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and those men would slaughter one another, and a great sword was carried by him."]

[Ruin is now your horse. Anytime you need him, he will be summoned from the ground and ride with you.]

[You Have Leveled Up!]

Y/N grinned in approval as Ruin whinnied in joy. The orcs only shout in defiance and jumped down from the stands and ran towards him.

"What do you say, Ruin? Shall we show them our combined might?"

It only whined with joy as Y/N couldn't get the grin off his face. He then rode to where Joker was at and picked up his sword.

And that moment, the arena was filled with screams and blood.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Y/N rode Ruin through the caverns as the horse knew where the boss of this dungeon was at. It wasn't speaking when he said that, only showed Y/N where it was.

The beast was fast, faster than Y/N have anticipated as he rode through the harsh land and soft sand. Though it was big, the saddle snugly fit him and felt that he couldn't get off no matter how hard he tried.

To put it into words what Y/N felt; Fucking Awesome!

This was the same horse War rode with his siblings into the war against Heaven and Hell. Not to mention that horses are fucking cool, especially if it spewed fire from his nostrils and galloped with legs of fire. In short, horses are awesome.

{Red Dead Redemption 2} made him care for horses since they were very reliable beasts of burden and could trot on miles without rest, especially for the Warhorse.

Moving away from fantasy land, he could see light from the end of the tunnels as a sign for the exit. "There it is! Let's go, Ruin!"

The horse whined with his master and trotted faster to the exit.

As they exited the caverns, Y/N was greeted by the sight of a larger arena than the one he just came from. Now the sand that Ruin was one was softer and felt that it would sink him if he ever tried to walk down there.

At one end was a long spire that was shaped like a talon and at the top was a cage. When he squinted at it, he realized who it was. "AIGIS!"

The girl looked below herself and saw her father riding a flaming Warhorse. He then used her built-in Scroll and contacted him.

"[Father, is that you?]"

"[Yeah, yeah, it's me. Are you alright?]"

"[I am fine here. Who's the horse is that you are riding?]"

"[Ah, so you see him. Aigis, meet Ruin. The Horse of the Apocalypse.]" She heard a whine afterward.

"[... I see.]"

"[Hang on tight, I'll come up there and save you.]"

Y/N ended the call shortly after as he ordered Ruin to the spire. The horse obeyed his new master and rode through the sand with ease.

It wasn't long when Y/N felt a small tremor coming from the side. A huge lump was now coming at him fast. He tugged the reins to the left and now they were running away from the lump. Y/N had dealt with enemies like this back then, bosses using the ground to determine your location and attack there.

Just then, the sand shifted again and the creature revealed itself to them.

{OBSERVE}

NAME: The Stygian

LEVEL: 105

TITLES: He Who Swallows Entire Cities

It had a large muzzle covering its mouth and surfed the sand on the surface. On its back was giant swords embedded on its skin but it appears that it didn't hinder it at all.

Y/N knew that a body like it wouldn't suffer any damage at all since its skin couldn't be penetrated by the weapons on its back so there was only one way to kill it.

From the inside.

Y/N commanded Ruin to run beside it as the horse galloped on its side. When it was close enough, Y/N drew his sword and fortified it with Aura.

He swung wildly at the muzzle as the chains on it were getting destroyed one by one. He continued this action until the muzzle was off, while still following the surfing worm.

Until...

*BREAK!*

The muzzle broke open, revealing its mouth being opened. "Damn, you are one ugly motherfucker!"

It screeched at him as it dived into the sands once more.

Y/N gritted his teeth in annoyance and used {Z-Target} to find the Stygian underground while riding Ruin.

When he saw the monster about to emerge, Ruin dashed instantly away from it as it shot up fro the ground.

Shortly after, it fell to the side with its mouth wide open. A strange uvula dangled within, giving Y/N the idea where to hit. He aimed his sword at it and cast magic "{Metal Magic: Piercing Shot}"

A small metal ball materialized at the tip of the sword and shot into terminal velocity at the uvula.

The ball struck its target as the Stygian only screamed once more and burrowed deep underground.

Feeling more annoyed, Y/N has had enough of these enemies and decided to take matter into his own hands.

Dismissing Ruin, the horse sunk into the ground and into his soul. He put both his hand into the soft sand and cast a spell that would no doubt kill it.

"{Sand Magic: Tremor Waves}"

The sand beneath him suddenly vibrating at an intense caliber that made the ground around him shake with intensity.

The Stygian can't handle the constant vibration it is picking up around its body and tried to find the human.

It found Y/N and opened wide and swallow him whole.

Y/N only smirked at the plan he did as the monster shut its mouth and dived into the ground below.

As he was slowly being ingested, Y/N aimed Creed at the stomach below him as it glowed bright blue. The creature felt the magic amassing in its stomach and tried to wriggle it closer to its stomach but it was too late.

"{Mafreidyne!}"

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From the surface, Aigis could only stare in shock at the ground.

The massive sandworm that Y/N was busy dealing with, just ate him whole and sunk back into the ground with him alive.

If she wanted to, Aigis could send {Athena} below and save him from the bowels of the beast. Yet, she couldn't. Her power was still locked from withing due to the interference of this dungeon.

And now, her hopes of being rescued was slowly diminishing from her body as she slowly slid to the bottom of the cage.

But it wasn't gone for good. He wouldn't let himself get swallowed up for no reason so she waited.

And waited...

And waited...

Until she saw something coming up from the ground where Y/N was swallowed. Shortly after, a geyser of blood shot out from the ground as Y/N knelt the sand.

He held a beating heart in his hand and crushed it without a second thought.

[You have gained Heart of Stygian {Special Item}]

As if it was waiting for it, she suddenly felt her Semblance being unlocked. She didn't hesitate it to use it after to break her out by breaking the bars.

She jumped away from the cage and landed near Y/N with a loud thud. As Y/N turned around to meet her gaze, she hugged him tightly.

"Woah. I didn't make you worry, did I?"

"You did. Why did you do that?" She felt his hand brushing her hair as it calmed her down a bit.

"Because I did it for you."

Aigis only smiled warmly at him and hugged tighter.

She felt something brushing against her and saw the giant horse Y/N rode in with. It snorted at her face, making some soot fall on her.

"I presume this is Ruin?" She slowly extended her hand at his snout, wanting to touch it.

Ruin was a bit skeptical about the girl his master saved until he sniffed her scent and that she smelled similar to Y/N. Meaning, she can be trusted. He let her touch his long nose and rubbed it gently.

"Yeah... A lot of things happened and now, I have him." He patted the neck of Ruin with pride as he exhaled. "Well, I'm bushed. What say we go home?"

Aigis nodded with him. "Agreed. Tomorrow is the beginning of the Vytal Festival."

Ruin bellowed out in acceptance as he sunk into the ground and returned into Y/N's soul.

"Alright then." He held his hand out to the sky and grasped in. "{ID Escape}"

The dimension around them shattered instantly as the pieces now fell like glass against the ground.

A moment after, they were back in Beacon safe and sound, with only 2 hours spent in them.

[You have exited the dungeon]

[You Have Leveled Up!]

[You are now {LvL 100}, the following are now upgraded]

{Observe > God's Eye}

{Aura Greater > Soul Energy}

Y/N sighed in relief as he is now {LvL 100} in his own right. He was now strong. And he can fight without holding back.

Months of training and grinding in the dungeon was for this moment. And he couldn't be more excited to use it.

Ruin in his soul agreed with him as it galloped endlessly in his soul.

"Let's go to sleep. We have a long day ahead of us."
