Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

B1 | Chapter 43 - A Race to the Finish



Then he turns around and leaves the cavern lit up by lava before making his way towards the final boss area. A large, metal vault door stationed in the side of a massive cliff connected to a mountainside. One covered in greenery that contrasts with the lava from the hidden boss\'s area he had cleared.

After making it to the vault he stares at it for a few seconds, only to check the leaderboards once more.

The girl got more points than me even after I cleared a hidden area…

Lucas shakes his head, clearing the thought from his mind.

No. I will clear the dungeon first and get that Legendary Feat. It has to be me.

So he reaches forwards and touches the large vault, making the door begin inching open inwards toward the mountain.

I will become the strongest once more, and I will find her. The love of my life.

His fists clench a little before he lets out a breath and walks into the vault, the door closing behind him to find a System Message greeting him.

In a Dungeon in Tutorial Block #2

Aurora waves her hand, creating a large wall of ice that blocks the attacks of the last kobold warrior in the massive fortress. Then she uses her Icicle Spear skill to send two large icicles straight at the monster, impaling it through the chest and the head before she turns around and begins walking towards the end of the throne room she just finished clearing with that last kobold.

And more importantly, towards the large trapdoor that is in the place of the throne. A throne that is currently tossed to the side, revealing the entrance to the final boss area of her dungeon.

When she reaches the trapdoor, she simply kicks it open with her bow drawn and pointed directly at it and her quiver over her shoulder. Then she relaxes the string a little and opens the leaderboards.

Looks like I caught up to him again. Now let\'s see if I can\'t pass him. And maybe I might be able to steal that first dungeon clear of the System Reset away from the Hound and the mystery girl.

Aurora can\'t help but grin at the thought before she jumps down into the trapdoor. Into the final boss area of the dungeon where she is greeted with a System Message.

In a different Dungeon in Tutorial Block #2

Leif Eriksson, the former King of Arcadia and Third Holy One, walks through the halls of the medieval style dungeon just like what one would see beneath a castle that is the dungeon he was left stuck in for the Reset, simply ignoring all of the traps as the arrows and darts ping off of his armor – armor he had obtained from a hidden area boss that suits his holy element perfectly. It isn\'t until he comes across a large door at the very end of the corridor that he had briefly wondered whether had an end or not that he stops to open the leaderboards.

But after opening it, he simply shakes his head very lightly and closes it again before reaching for the door to the final boss area.

A legendary feat would be nice to start things off.

And with that thought, he opens the door and enters the final boss area, finding the System Message appearing in his vision.

Alexia

I stare at the rift in space making up the boss area before breathing in deeply once and letting it out. Then I swipe my polearm straight at it, once again cutting open the rift. But this time I step through the opened rift instead of immediately backing out like I did the last time.

[You have entered the Tier 1 Dungeon Crawling Cavern\'s Final Boss Room. The Nest of Night.]

Since I know how final boss rooms always work, I immediately summon my polearm and sprint straight through the opening stretch of it. But no traps are set off, and I don\'t find any monsters, meaning this is a single boss final boss room.

Which I don\'t think I like but will at least make this go faster.

Generally the final boss rooms are set up in two different categories. Ones like this one where there aren\'t any monsters or traps at the start and it just leads to a single boss, and ones where there are monsters and traps at the very beginning of the area with a slightly weaker boss that relies on its minions at the end.

Which one I need right now would probably be the one with the minions, strictly because it would\'ve let me level up and close the gap between me and the boss. But since I am in a bit of a hurry to finish the dungeon since I don\'t know how far the other Legendary Feat holders are in their dungeons, and I want to make it back to Astrid as fast as I can, this might actually be the better option in the end. Even if it\'s more risky.

Not that I have a choice.

I slow down before making it to a wide open cavern with a spring in the middle of it, and a small geyser of water at the center of that. Pure, clean water.

The spring identifies the exact same as the pond I had seen before in terms of its benefits, so I quickly jump in to heal my remaining soul. Then, after I finish refilling my soul, I get back out and head straight for the tunnel on the other side of the cavern.

The tunnel that will lead me to the final boss of this dungeon.
