THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD Location the Desolate Dungeon Area 4
Once inside the Curien Mansion, Laharl and the girls were greeted by the iconic zombies of the HOTD games. First A-Types which are the average zombies that scratch and bite. And C-Types which are the fat, chainsaw wielding zombies. Nero quickly killed those zombies with a V-slach. Burning and slicing in half those undead, as another A-Type wielding axes came into the entrance. Along with other basic A-Types. Nero, she smiled and proclaimed that she'll handle all the monsters in the mansion. Rushing in a red blur, she and her Aestus Estus, cutting through undead and structures like a knife through butter. Leaving behind rotting corpses of zombies, along with white, red, and purple exp. Laharl and the girls, chuckled. As they'd left it up to the Red Saber, and followed her warpath. Reminding her from time to time, to join in the absorption of the exp-drops. And making sure no zombie, ambushes Nero. Since unlike in the shooter game, that the monster is always in the front, zombies are crawling everywhere in the mansion.
Nero, she smiled, laughed, and "umu" her way through the undead horde. Taking not only A and C-Type zombies, but soon she'd encountered more. From the D-Types that are muscular zombies, that should be tough, but at her level of power and speed they'd fell in one slash. As well as some E-Types the short men, like chimpanzees with long claws. They'd would be annoying for someone else, but for Nero and her enhanced speed. The E-Types were child's play. Gaining more white, purple, and blue exp-drops from the newest zombies. The group was sweaping through the Curien Mansion. Almost if someone place the one-shot kill, cheat on the gun playing HOTD. With grace and majestic skill, like a dance. Nero, she was taking down every single undead that she came across. Passing through corridors, rooms, and hallways, only gaining exp-drops only. Since there isn't any of worth in that megalomaniac Curien "mansion". They just continue, traversing through the mansion. Looking for wherever the Boss is? Eventually they kicked through a set of whitish-aqua colored doors...
Location the Desolate Dungeon Area 4, Boss Area: Skylight Hall
Reaching the massive room with a large skylight, the exact same room that Type 27 Chariot, the armored giant zombie, Boss battle happens. With a Killzone Helghast gasmask, helmet over it's head. Nero was ready to face a more worthy opponent, as Chariot broke through the skylight, filling the carpeted room in glass. Roar-groaning, with a huge poleaxe in it's armored hand. As Nero was in her usual stance with Aestus Estus, blazing a crimson aura. Ready to face the Boss, when something unexpected happened. A massive, pale and sickly hand, burst into the room and crushed Chariot dead. Leaving a massive hole on the room, revealing the real Boss. A massive one-eyed humanoid with tattered clothing, decaying skin, and exposed sections of muscle. Razor teeth and shackled four-armed, long-tongued behemoth. It the first Boss in HOTD 4, Type 53, Justice. Roaring and smashing around the courtyard that it was standing. The same area were one encounters Hangedman in the original game. The Boss is quite taller than the Curien Mansion itself. Laharl could hardly believe the Desolate Dungeon, did a trick Boss to face the real one, after.
Originally Nero wanted to fight the Boss. But Laharl stopped her. Making the Saber puff-up her cheeks in frustration. As Laharl told Raven to handle the Boss, as she can gigantize herself, and fight the Boss face to face. She sighed, and told them to fly away from danger. Laharl, gave her a kiss for good luck, making her happy and smile. As they all apart from Raven, sprouted their wings...minus Caulifla, who prefers ki-flight over wings...flying out the holes of the room. When Justice saw the devils flying, it tried to grab them, only for a shadow like raven, soared and smashed against the throat of the giant Boss. Knocking the giant four-armed zombie, against the mansion. Crushing it under the weight of the Boss, as a black silhouetted giant Raven emerged. With her studying and practicing of devil magic, she'd managed to use a temporary gigantization spell. As she'd used a fire spell, blasting a giant stream of black flame onto the Boss. Justice, it flailed its arms, trying to shield itself and put out the magical fire on its body. Meanwhile Laharl, Setsuna, Caulifla, Morrigan, Kneesocks, Ranko, Mizore, Kyoko, and Ruby were helping out Raven. Blasting Dark Bolts, Anarchy Bolts, Ki Blasts, Hadokens, Icicles, Shurikens, and Cradle in the Dark at the Boss. While Setsuna, materialized a energy whip, from her index claw. Her Whip of Light to lash at Justice from a far. Causing a non-ending onslaught of damage, while giant Raven has the Boss' full attention. Bringing down a massive black thunderbolt, blowing off the upper right arm of the Boss.
Their combined efforts, were quickly overwhelming the Boss. As the Boss, actually tried its dropkick attack...with a faster and more capable opponent, in front of it. Raven, she'd easily dodge the dropkick. Sending her gigantized Soul-Self to smash onto the back of Justice, making it scream out in pain. Chanting her iconic chant, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!!!" all roots and earth pierced and bound the remaining limbs of the Boss. Fully restraining it in place. Raven's gigantize spell, wore off, as she was floating in the air. Telling her man and sister-lovers to pile on the damage, and take out the Boss. Doing exactly as Raven said, the entire peerage mercilessly attacked the still restrained Justice. After thirty minutes of non-stop attacking, the Boss perished. Letting out a dead gurgle, as started to turn into sludge, exactly like death-scene with Justice in HOTD 4. A huge amount of white, red, orange, and purple exp-drops started to emerge from the goop. As the waypoint appeared at the hole, between the Skylight Hall and the Courtyard. Absorbing the exp-drops, they left for the next and final area of the Desolate Dungeon...
TACKLING THE FINAL AREA OF THE DESOLATE DUNGEON Location the Desolate Dungeon Final Area
Now they were in huge, highlife area of a neighborhood. Like where the rich celebrities would live in. Laharl immediately recognized the sunny, chaotic city as LA, or as Dead Island 2 nicknames it Hell-A. They are in Los Angeles of DI2 game. A modern city, under a zombie outbreak. Laharl, he smiled cause these houses and buildings were overflowing with stuff and electronics of the 2020s timeline. They'd might find a hell of good loot, as he was telling this to the girls, the zombies appeared. Both the classic Dead Island zombies and runners which are the "fresher" zombies of the DI-series. Nero and Kyoko rushed in and killed the small horde of zombies. The corpses were cut apart. As large amount white, a bit less blue exp-drops appeared from the dead undead. Finally a small respite, Laharl suggested they'd take their time in this area, to search the house and loot whatever they find their fancy. Making them smile, as they'd walk up the car piled up LA street.
In the first couple of houses. Laharl and the girls found some stylish clothes that the girls loved. A lot of good skin treatment and makeup products. Along with a couple of flat-screen TVs perfect for the gym back home, and Cerberus bounced around and gave Laharl a TREBLAB HD77 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. A good initial hull. That's when more zombies came to crash the party. Not only zombies and runners, but also some crushers. Which are highly powerful, muscular, mutated zombies. They are taller than an average human and more muscular than most too. Basically mutated body builders. Ranko, Ruby, and Caulifla killed those musclebound mutated zombie, with pure brute force. Smashing those crushers to death. Aside from the red exp from the crushers, they continuing looting the abadoned LA houses, and killing undead. They came across another Dead Island mutant zombie.
Walking zombie bombs. Called bursters. Bursters are zombies covered with gas sacs, appearing a bloats on their bodies. That are highly volatile and explode when disturbed. Laharl, didn't let the girls get close to those zombies. Blasting dark energy projectiles of his Dark Bolts to hit and explode the bursters. Leaving gore and yellow exp-drops. Now they know that have to avoid close combat with the bloat covered zombies. As they made their way through a huge backyard pool, more crushers and runners came at them. Along with another mutant. The DI version of a Boomer. Slobbers are zombies who have undergone a horrific mutation which has caused immense bloating and swelling of internal organs such as the spleen and gallbladder. They can spew projectile vomit bile at players. Daki, she'd cut them apart from afar to avoid the disgusting, fat undead. That makes five enemies that they'd come across in this area. Absorbing the cyan exp-drops, from the dead slobbers. They found a house that Raven likes. Clearly a goth used to live in it. Taking some skull decorations, some black leaf, fake plants, and books. Seems that are things for everyone...but as much as they wanted to keep investigating and taking cool stuff... They have to conquer the Desolate Dungeon...and they can always come back again...
Leaving the high-end neighborhood, fighting against hordes of undead. And finally entering the city part of Hell-A. They came across Screamers. Which appear as thin women who have lost their lower jaw and are covered in blood, possibly from ripping out their own throats. Their windpipe and the back of their throat is exposed. Capable of unleashing a powerful sonic scream. Raven, burned and electrocuted these zombies from afar. While Raven was busy dealing with the screamers, a whipper came out to attack her. Kyoko killed the female zombie who engage in heavy self-mutilation own intestines, taken out from their stomach, wrapped around the left arm of zombie. They use these intestines as weapons. Seems that the DLC mutant was also in this dungeon. As more screamers, whippers, and crushers started emerging and coming at them. With all the exp-drops that these hordes were giving, and the power behind the exp, some even managed to level-up again. Becoming a hell of more powerful. As they continued onto the city, they'd started to reach the research facilities.
Laharl, he assumes that in that area they'll most likely find the final Boss of the Desolate Dungeon. The girls agreeing with him, went to the entrance to underground facilities...after Ruby and Caulifla, begged Laharl to store some bikes. A racing bike and a Harley. Yeah if fitted those girls, and sighing he'd said, "sure" making both Ruby and Caulifla pump their arms. As Laharl wrapped his scarf around the pink, and violet racer bike, and the classic, matt black harley. Storing them for the girls. Like he'd stated before, Hell-A hss something for everyone. Laharl even found some copies of several games, along with scoring aXbox One, and a Xbox Series X, making him smile. As he'd couldn't wait to get back home ane have a gaming marathon, especially now that many computer games are now accessible to them. The group reach a construction site, that has a secret passage to the underground. When of course runners, crushers, bursters, and whippers came swarming in... Honestly they were all getting tired of killing zombies, but they were soo close to conquering the dungeon, that Laharl and the girls, just soldier on. Taking out the undead, with blade, fist, magic, and more. Blood spilled everywhere. When a new zombie came out to fight. Butchers. The Hunters of Dead Island, highly aggressive zombie variants, and fast bastard. Their forearm bones have mutated, emerging out of their hands to become razor sharp blades. Long haired, zombies with shredded clothing. There were three, roaring menacing at them. As they rushed in with the rest of the horde.
Seems like their smart little bastards as well. As a screamer screamed, alerting and calling for more damned zombies. A butcher, leap at Morrigan, only to be slice in vertical half, by her Shadow Blade. The other went for Laharl, that block it swipe with his scarf. Then slashed off both the butcher arms with his Vritra Zanbato, before beheading it. As more and more undead were coming, Albedo, who just killed the last butcher, recommended, that they go into the underground. Since a large amount of undead were coming. And now the peerage were starting to feel fatigue. So Laharl, told the girls to run, and head to the entrance. Nodding to him, and running close behind him, as they headed to the passage way in a unfinished building...
