"Graaaah!" The orc cried out as my foot landed on its face knocking it back into the hole.
The only thing I did not expect was that this hole was not just some other room but a large hole in the floor that dropped down into the deep dark abyss below! I couldn't help but panic a little bit as I went to turn and fly back into the sky. I felt a large hand grab my leg, and without being able to do a thing, the stupid orc threw me down into the abyss!
I was currently cursing myself for holding back! My one weakness was my own body weight! But since it was dark, I can fix that as well! I smiled as my arm grew into a huge claw and grabbed the orc above me. He fit perfectly within the palm of my claws as I pulled down and swung him back underneath me. But this time, I used all my strength.
*Boom!*
A sonic boom accord as its body flew out. I gathered my bearings and began flapping my wings to grain my descent before making a foothold in the air. When I heard a loud splat sound below, I knew it had died but what bothered me was this deep hole.

"Oh? High experience for a monster half my level….." I was quite surprised. Normally for a monster who was much lower level than myself, it would be hard to gain even a tiny bit of experience, and even then, it would take me thousands of them to level up, maybe millions based on the amount of experience.
But to see experience points after so long, I was a bit happy. I mean, it feels like it has been forever since I gained any experience. But more importantly, I need to figure out what is going on down here. I can sense something strange down in the deepest part of this abyss.
My eyes glowed, and thirty fireballs all formed around me that I made float out in all directions. The area around me was quite wide. I was wondering why I could sense the walls near me or see them. Although it was pitch black seconds ago, I can still see somewhat in darkness. But only so far. And now I know why. Once you were low enough, the whole area seemed to open up quite a bit. It makes me wonder how the floor above was able to stay in position.
But as I looked down, my eyes grew wide in shock. "What the hell is that!?"
"That's rude little girl…." A voice came from the large creature below me. It had a set of horns on its head and a thin scaly tail. It was still far away from me, but even from where I was, I could see that it was very large. It was red and had a humanoid shape. If I had to put a creature to it, it looked more like a large imp more than anything.
"Who are you?" Since it could talk, I wished to know just what this thing was.
"Who am I? I guess you can say that I am the boss of this dungeon. The dungeon master, at least that is what the voice tells me. What I am, I do not know…. I only know how to create more of these green little things and the pinkish bigger things. But they die so easily when I crush them for entertainment. But recently, I have seen quite a few new things similar to you being dragged down here. The little things keep doing strange things to them. But I guess it doesn't matter because I will crush them anyway. Hahaha hahaha! But you…. You are different. You smell different from the other things. What are you?" I was not expecting this thing to be a chatterbox, but it seemed to just be sitting there.
It said it was the boss and that a voice kept telling it so. I guess this thing could be considered the last boss of the dungeon? I looked around and saw a black orb sitting on a pedestal that looked like a large skeleton hand. I have no idea if it was…. "Appraisal "

"Hmm?" As I looked at the information, I couldn't help but feel slightly confused. If this was a Goblin dungeon, why was there an orc as the first boss? But I finally had an idea of what This place was. I turned and looked at what I can only guess is the Goblin Ancient and used appraisal on it as well.

As soon as I saw the question marks, all danger sounds began to ring out in my head as I quickly flew off. I was not going to stick around that thing any longer. I only know what the Academy said was a damn lie! I want to know which idiot said this dungeon was safe. Whoever it was, lied through their teeth.
As I arrived back topside, I saw the goblins all dead and the girls who were being used all lined up against a wall with blankets covering them, and Adel and the other standing guard around them. "Faith, you are back!"
Instructor Telive came running over to me. He seemed glad that I came back alive. "How was it? Did you kill it?"
"Yes…. And…. We all need to leave now. This test should be canceled. I need to report what I found to the Dean right away. Whoever checked this dungeon did not check the whole thing at all. Either the Academy lied, or someone lied to the Academy." I replied. I was trying to calm myself down. I have never seen a monster with nothing but question marks or have all my senses telling me to leave as quickly as possible.
"It would be good if we could leave but look.." Instructor Telive pointed to the barrier that was still up. Just seeing it made my heart drop.
"So it has to be like that, huh? Trapped in a dungeon until we clear the whole thing…. Instructor, do you have a way to communicate with the Dean?" I asked. If they did, that would be for the best as the runic markings on the barrier only seem to block physical forms like our bodies from passing through it.
"Yes I do…."
