Chapter 91
”Greetings old chap, to what do I owe the pleasure?” The Terminus was glancing up at James and Rue from within his lair. James had taken Rue down to their second-floor main instance, in order to begin his dungeon ascension process. Ever since the first Terminus fight, James had known where he wanted the third-floor portal to be.
”Mind if I put the third-floor portal in your lair?” Originally, James had planned to just put the portal there. However, given the intelligence of his second-floor boss mob, who seemed capable of beating Rue at multiple games…on second thought, that maybe wasn't as impressive as James had been thinking. Regardless, because his second-floor boss was sentient, he figured he should at least ask the boss if it was alright. That was only proper, after all.
”Not at all good sir. In fact, I feel such a decision will lead to even more brash and foolish morsels appearing at my doorstep.” The Terminus let out a dark chuckle and began to rise within the lair, motioning to the very back. ”I eagerly await their return. More delectable treats for me, and additional experience for you. Why, tis a glorious plan indeed. Most agreeable.” James felt shivers run down his spine, and he was pretty sure the Terminus was trying to rub its hands together in a very old-school movie villain kind of way.
”I appreciate that Sir Rexus.” James selected his Dungeon Ascension tab, and summoned the portal in the back of the lair. ”And be prepared for the next time the adventurers arrive. I believe we may be receiving unwelcomed guests soon.”
”Ah yes, Dungeon Wars.” The second floor boss showed James a toothy grin. ”I do hope you will release me from the arena when the time comes. I can promise you, good sir, I will strike terror in your enemies the likes of which they will never recover from. Especially if my dear boy B.L.U. is allowed to join me.”
James nodded towards the boss as he floated towards the third floor portal. Of course he didn't quite know how Dungeon Wars were going to work. But if he could unleash the Perfect Cognivore on the invading adventurers, well, that might just give him an upper hand. After all, even though BLANK had hit Tier 3 before James, he highly doubted any adventurers would be close to the level needed to take down that secret boss. Of course, based on how Xander spoke of the duo, he was sure they had their own tricks prepared. But, James was glad to know he could count on Sir Rexus.
”I will definitely keep that in mind. I look forward to seeing the Perfect Cognivore once more in action.”
”Indeed, a wise choice.” Rexus let out a mixture of a growl and a…purr? Which caused the lair to shake softly. It was time to leave.
”You're the best Rexy.” Rue waved and winked at the boss, before flying quickly ahead of James to the portal.
”Have you decided on your starting landscape?”
