"Dungeon Core, how do i increase Magic Power again?" Argholas asked.
"Question accepted.
Generating answer.
magic power can be collected with three different way.
1. passive absorption, let dungeon absorb magic power from outside world slowly.
2. active absorption, guided by Dungeon Boss the dungeon can absord a lot more magic power from outside world. beware : Challengers may try to break in early as active absorption can effect the well being of outside world inhabitants.
3. magic power recycle, allow challengers to enter and fight in the dungeon. the magic power they used will be recycled by dungeon for its own. killed challenger will also be harvested for their magic power. "
Argholas begin to think. he need more magic power to grow his dungeon. but apparently humans of this world decide to back off for a while and not attacking his dungeon anymore. if he let it be like this, his dungeon will remain as it is and become stagnant.
then some idea formed in Argholas mind. but before that he need to make sure some things.
"Dungeon Core, can you teach me magic or battle skill?"
"Question accepted

Dungeon Core have some record of magic abilities and battle skill that Dungeon Boss can learn.

'delicious' Argholas thought.
Argholas has a plan to kidnap some human from the outside. he is sure there are some city or town not too far from his dungeon. if he can take like hundreds or something, he can force the human to attack his dungeon. then he can go kill them, or trap them to death, and gain more magic power.
but to really going with this plan, he need a way to kidnap a big amount of human in the same time. unfortunately his current body, though perfect for him, cannot provide enough space to do the task. here comes the magic abilities that Dungeon Core provide. with Temporal Body Transformation, he have a guess that he can transform into a his dragon form. a big long dragon that don't have a wing but still capable of flight using magic.
as for his battle skills, he know he need one but he didn't really need it so soon. it is only because Dungeon Core provide such service of free learning that he is willing to learn one.
"Dungeon Core, Teach me Temporary Body Transformation and Basic Body Movement Arts"
"Command accepted.
Registering Magic Ability and Battle Skill into Dungeon Boss mind. "
soon a surge of information enter Argholas mind. the amount of information is no joke. it is like memory of several years from several people are put together and pushed into his mind. fortunately for Argholas, his Klaiss brain is a fully dedicated brain monster that possess mind power comparable to any celestial being. the memory dump is just a breeze for Argholas.
after a few minutes of memory dumping, the process is over and Argholas now understand how to transform and how to move his body better. he just need to test it a few times.
going outside , Agholas first try his transformation magic.
as expected, this magic enable the user to transform into other form that the user wish. if the user wish to transform into something that is already withing his DNA, the transformation will work a lot better. for Argholas case, he can transform into three different form. Long Dragon Form, Elven Form, and Klaiss Form. for the purpose of his plan, Argholas tried to transform into his Dragon Form.
Argholas concentrated for a bit and move his magic power according to the memory hie receive. he choose his Dragon Form in his mind and slowly he feels his body change. in a few second, the once three meter dragon man creature now turn into a thirty meter long dragon with no wings. his scales is dark blue with a lighter blue on the belly side. Argholas Dragon From is more like a snake than a lizard. Argholas check his front foot and see that it is now big enough to grab ten or more people. not as much as he wished but still enough for him.
now Argholas just need to wait for the magic ability to expired, and while he is waiting he decide to test on Body Movement Arts. using his Long Dragon form, the Body Movement Arts that is in his mind cannot work as efficient as he hope for. it is primarily because the Body Movement Arts is made for humanoid body, instead of beast one. but Argholas didn't mind it at all and keep on training. by the time his transformation expired, he already able to move a lot better in his Long Dragon Form than he ever imagine.
'now, lets go to some city to create Chaos.' Argholas think as he go to Dungeon Gate and then activate it.
