~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Temple Of Jad'var, The Kingdom of Nu'bor, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 1:05 PM)~~~

[Congatulations!]

[You've Defeated The Avatar of Jad'vari!]

[Several new paths have been opened up deeper inside the Dungeon!]

[An extra hour has been added to your allotted time to find the Boss Room and clear the Dungeon!]

[You've leveled up twice!]

"It's finally over!! We're done with this Son of a Bitch!!"

She's more excited about it than I am. Using Raging Machine and Kingslayer made the rest of the fight easy. And thanks to Raging Machine turning incoming damage into health, I'm back at max.

We both make our way to the hidden Boss's body, and there are some drops here. I indicate for her to go first, and she steps forward, inspecting the drops from the Boss. I can tell from her look there aren't that many good drops.

"I take it there's nothing but shit, huh?"

Her head raises to my half question, and she nods her head, confirming.

"Most of what's here is not very valuable. Except for one thing."

As the victorious smirk comes across her face, I already know what's coming. This is unfair. But the rules are the rules.

"I can't believe yo-..."

She jumps in the air with pure joy on her face and celebrates.historical

"I win! I win! He dropped a Lore Scroll all about the Temple! This means I get first dibs at whatever the Main Boss drops from the Dungeon!"

It's rare that I lose, and while I'm glad she got this victory against me, I'm not making a habit of losing. It's dumb luck she got what we bet on from the Boss, and that means I lose.

She makes her way over to me and literally waves the Lore Scroll in my face, and beams her pearly whites at me.

"Do you want me to read it, or do you want the honors?"

I hold out my hand, and she gives it to me. I open it and start reading.

"The Temple of Jad'var was the epicenter of a once great and continent-spanning civilization. Jad'var was the God of the Cezlite people. The first people that were indigenous to Alforza to rise up and create an Empire of epic proportions."

Just this little bit of information has me hooked, and I'm eager to read more. Sally looks to be in the same situation. While she's not a big person about history like I am, she's more than interested in this place.

"The Empire of Cezlitians reached all the way to the top of Alforza to the bottom of the continent. There were 4,000 years of prosperity and peace. But nothing lasts forever. The Second War of The Gods brought calamity to all of Gaia. Alforza more than anything."

Wow... This place is tied to a War with The Gods... But it's only the Second War of The Gods... That means there was one before it.

"When the battle settled, and the winners came rose from the piles of bodies. The Cezlitian Empire was nothing but rubble. And marked the extinction of the once proud and numerous people."

There is still more to go through. And the history of Cezlite seemed to have ended in tragedy... Like most places that amass great power do... It mimics some of the events that happened on Earth a long time ago. Wars that ruined entire areas of the world...

"When the power of The Cezlitian Empire vanished, everything that was shadowed by their greatness was given the light they needed to rise themselves. The next Empire to build itself was The Dark Elves that dwell in the Jungles of Nae'mor."

Now we know where we can find Dark Elves, and they actually exist by the confirmation of this document. It's getting more and more interesting the longer we're in Alforza.

"After The Dark Elves came The Nomadic and Peaceful Tribes of High Orcs. The reason this connects to The Cezlitian Empire and Jad'var is these two races rose thanks to the technology left behind by The Cezlite people."

This Lore Scroll is a little contradictory, but I think whoever wrote it took some creative liberties in writing, so it'd be interesting to read.

"As for the God known as Jad'var, he perished in The Second War of Gods. And Jad'vari, his son, is the only one left in his bloodline. Virtually no one believes or worships Jad'vari, and that has left him in obscurity."

Sally is sitting on the ground and looking up at me like I'm some sort of teacher telling a great story, and she's a kid. It's cute, and there is more to go through on the Lore Scroll. But this is enough for now.

I put it away and help Sally back to her feet. This marks the end of our current bet, and all that's left is to go deeper and find the Main Boss Room and clear this Dungeon.

"Too bad we didn't get a map for this place. Did the Lore Scroll give any clues that could help us around this place?"

She thinks that I've read more than I've announced to her.

"Yeah, I'd like a map too. But let's head to the stairs on the other side of this Boss room and make our way down. After we defeated the Boss, we were told more paths opened below us, and we've been given an extra hour."

All this time, I thought Jad'var was a God who was still alive. But I was wrong. All that's left of him are these ruins and his son. Only a God can kill another God.

Sally leads the way using Ice Light, and we make it down the long staircase and pop out in an area with multiple paths.

It takes us a while, but we eventually make it to a large metal door that looks as old as the Temple. I place my hand on it, and a familiar notification pops up.

[Main Boss Room]

"This is it. We've made it. And we still have about 50 minutes to spare. Hopefully, the Boss battle doesn't take that long. But we have that time if we need it."

She takes a deep breath, and we push the door open together. And what we see pretty much marks how difficult this fight will be.

[Fallen God Jad'vari (Lvl. Adjusted)]

[Health: Adjusted]

[Description: A Fallen God from Overworld and the only child of The God known as Jad'var. Jad'vari has never had someone make it this far into the Dungeon, and for good reason. If Fallen Gods are supposed to be found anywhere, it'd be Raids. Which makes this an anomaly.]

"Looks like the two of you made it here after all... I figured you might've had a chance after defeating my Avatar, but I continue to underestimate you. Son of Michael."

He's just as ugly and disturbing to look at as his Avatar.

"I'm surprised a Fallen God would reside in a Dungeon... Isn't that against the rules?"

Technically, there are no written rules about this. I'm actually just trying to get an explanation as to why this is happening.

"As one God to another... It's because I've lost my Divinity and right to reenter Overworld... After my Father perished in battle against your Grandfather, all rights were taken with his death... Leaving me with nothing but an empty temple and a shell of my old powers..."

His voice is edging between hollow rage and sadness. My Grandfather was the one to kill Jad'var... That means it's The Almighty Father... The Strongest of all The Gods...

"You'll have to forgive me for my lack of knowledge about the subject. I've never been to Overworld either. But I can tell that you take my presence here as an insult..."

His misformed and monstrous head slowly nods... He's probably turned into this creature after losing his Divinity.

"That matters not. For I'll steal your Divinity and rise back to what was once supposed to be mine. Don't worry. You'll only die. It's not that bad. Believe me."

He stands up from his throne, and there is tense energy in the air. I used Raging Machine and Kingslayer to defeat his Avatar... And with it, most of my best skills... This isn't looking good...

I'm having a hard time finding a way out of this.
