Volume 5 Chapter 12 Wrath Of The Heavens Final Boss
The dungeon has 100 floors.
The boss on the 100th floor is the final boss.
At the end of the 100th area, called 'Sunlit Haven,' the boss was waiting.
"Normally, you shouldn't have been able to get here."
There's a small wooden cabin.
A young man sits in a chair in front of it, reading a book.
His long purple hair moves gently in the wind, making him look calm and peaceful.
He looks up from the book, turns to Horace, and starts to speak.
"But this is very different from when I was with the students. Back then, it took days, but you got here in just 2."
"Well, I was a teacher. Of course, I had to adjust. If I go at my own pace, reaching the dungeon's deepest part is enough with just this much."
"I see. If you're as strong as you are, that makes sense."
The man sighed.
"May I ask, who are you?"
Deus asked with a smile.
"To put it simply... I am the 'Astral Dragon Gai Gigant,' the real one."
Once, Horace fought against a part of him near the Diamante Kingdom's capital.
At that time, using 'Deus Ex Machina,' he easily defeated him.
Because of that, the people of the capital were scared by Horace's strength, and they felt bad for complaining about Horace. But now, it didn't matter.
"Gai Gigant in a place like this..."
"Well, originally, I wanted to stay in the 'Cross Palace.'"
"Cross Palace?"
Deus tilted his head.
"If I remember right, it was the 'World of Souls' made by the God of Sealing Shildress, right?"
"You know it well. That's right. It's a place that stops the cycle of reincarnation and keeps all souls there. It's a big structure with 5 square areas arranged in a cross shape."
"Huh... So when you die, you end up in a place like that?"
"To be exact, even if Shildress and his followers were sealing me, I would still go there. However, I was directly sealed by Shildress himself."
"So, even if you're the 'Keystone Dragon of the Four Source Divines,' you can't beat a god?"
"You know those words in this era, huh... I see, Terra must have talked about it a lot."
"Is it Terra Disas?"
"That's right. He has a 'special power' because of his deal with Shildress, and can freely come and go in the palace. Every time, he invites me and Zethar to the tavern and talks about it. Recently, Yu... no, that's enough."
Gai stopped speaking, looking like he'd remembered something unpleasant.
"Also, Clim was complaining. She said it's too inconvenient that our words are leaking out like this."
"What are you talking about? Clim knew this would happen from the start."
"True. But I have a hard time standing up to my elders. She keeps venting to me and expecting a reaction. That's the only part I hold a grudge against you for."
"A grudge? But Clim's so beautiful—is she scary when she's angry?"
"Well, it's annoying."
Gai looked at Deus.
"Oh, right. Clim has a message for you: 'Don't mess with that body of yours too much.'"
"She noticed my existence?"
"It's more accurate to say she knew from the start, but let's leave that for now."
Gai placed his book aside and stood up from his chair.
"Well... from my perspective, talking to you, who knows your history well, is quite enjoyable. But let's end this conversation here."
Horace came here to clear this dungeon and obtain the fragment.
Gai's role is to be the barrier to clearing the dungeon and fight.
Small talk is fun, but it should be in moderation.
"...Alright, let's fight. You've battled my 'remnant entity' in the capital of Diamante Kingdom, but don't rely on that too much."
