Currently, this one was the only thing which I could upgrade. Though I still hoped that I would get a few more points in the dungeon itself.
'Let's do it. Not like I have anything to lose, anyway,' I nodded as I believed that a [Unique] level skill won't be a waste no matter how I look at it.

'So, now I can travel anywhere within a single dimension, huh?' I thought as I gave it a bit of a thought before trying it for once.
'Let's try going back home,' I decided as it would be a good gauge of my ability.
[You cannot travel to another dimension using this skill!]
"..."
Blankly staring at the skill, I kind of realized how absurd Aisha was. To make us all travel to another dimension without any form of exertions…. Now that I think about it, I would be trapped here forever if I go against Aisha, huh?
I don't even know the depth of her abilities. Well. Seems like we have to wait to see it.
"Any problem?" Aarick asked as he observed me. My eyes fell on the two of them waiting for me to speak something…
"Ummm… can I try something?" I spoke as I looked at them, making them look at me with anticipation.
I sighed as I took out the [Key to the Dungeon: Lair of the Dragon of Truth and Lies!], which was pretty colorless. It was neither golden, nor was it silver or bronze.
'Is it a lesser version of the keys?'
Makes me sad that the rewards would be less as well.
As soon as I took the key in my hand, a whitish colorless door that had a hue of gold lacing appeared in front of us. The door was rather grand, even with the minimum texture visible.
"What is that?" Aarick spoke as he took a step back with a serious expression on his face. As for Diaspora, she was silent as she observed the gate with a focussed expression.
"Hmmm… You guys can wait… or perhaps can join me?" I spoke as I looked at Diaspora. Since it was a dungeon of the dragon, I wonder if she would find anything in there. Based on my past few experiences, I doubted, but still. This time, the name of the dungeon said that there was a chance…
As for Aarick, I guess he is strong enough to protect himself, but not enough to kill me. Having him beside me will result in better results. Especially with the divine speech he uses… I don't want to encounter an enemy who can use that speech freely… Hopefully… though I just wanted to clear it faster.
"We will join," Aarick spoke for himself as well as Diaspora, to which she did not object.
"All right. Let's go then," I spoke as I unlocked the gate and took my first step on the other side.
Entering the other side, I found a majestic scene… much to my amazement. I was honestly expecting something more of a dead zone, like the dark dungeon of Libra or the desert region where Enkonomiya was.
"This can't be…" Diaspora was even more surprised than I was. Her eyes looked at the golden temple in front of us. Standing below the bright blue sky of Plienthora, it reflected the sunlight coming from the 3 suns in the sky above.
Not only that, but the greenery spread across in stretches far as the eye can see. It was as if the entire planet was coloured with the natural colors of the world. The previous dead look and that miasma was far gone.
"Seems like we are in the past," I said as I analyzed the surroundings, especially the insanely big temple in front of us. It had long outstretched white stairs that didn't seem to end as seen from naked eyes and a temple that wasn't meant for humans or similar sized beings.
"There isn't any life force though," Aarick added as he looked around before focusing his eyes on the top of the temple," except within the temple, that is."
Hearing his words, I nodded. I guess it would be absurd to recreate an entire planet just to create a dungeon. Though… who knows…
"My home…" Diaspora was still in tears as she looked around the planet. If not for Aarick holding her back using his powers, she would have already flown away trying to take it all in.
"Don't judge too quickly. It might not even be your home," I spoke as I looked up the temple before adding," both yours and my answers lie there."
Hearing my voice, her enthusiasm subsided. Nevertheless, she was much calmer than before. She looked at me for a few seconds before she turned quiet. Looking at her expression… I sighed…
"All right. If we finish my things here, we can take some time out to sightsee this planet. Though don't get your hopes up. Even I can't control everything that happens here," I said as I understood her intentions.
She smiled brightly, hearing my words as she nodded rapidly before she looked at Aarick. He too nodded, making her sigh in relief before all three of us looked up the stairs towards the temple in the heaven.
"Let's go then," I spoke out as I took the first step towards the dungeon. And as soon as I took the first step, a System message appeared in front of me.
[Dungeon of the Dragon of Lies and Truth!]
[Description: The Elder Dragon of the Plienthorian Race subdued herself deep into the Dungeon of Animosity. She created a place where her soul would rest forever. Though the Universe had deemed her as a betrayer of her own race and thus the vengeance needs to be ensured.
Objective: Kill the Elder Dragon
Rewards: Will be calculated at the end of the dungeon!]
'Hmmm…' I looked at the reward with a rather question filled face. Do I need to kill the dragon first? Or perhaps… is there more to it?
Well… we will cross that bridge when that time comes…
