Chapter 50 3 - Dungeon (1)
A small area sealed by the heavy metal door is equipped with many sensors and cameras. This heavy door is created from the bones of the monsters, and the hardest metal found in this world. No hunter can destroy this door, not even a nuclear bomb can put a scratch. The only way to enter inside is to swipe your Hunter Identity Card (HIC).
Only the hunters from the Hunter Association can enter this place, if hunters from another guild tried to enter, the door won't open for them. Because, every guild, and organization have their own dungeon that generates income for them. And every dungeon has its specific card requirement.
Even if the dungeon is dangerous, instead of co-operating to destroy this dungeon, human has even separated their own dungeon and is doing business. If one day, all the dungeon break out, then the human is destined to be extinct, and the sole reason will be human stupidity.
Ding!
I swiped my hunter card and the red light that was on the top of the door turned green.
Thud!
The door slowly opened up, and it cause the land to shake a bit. I enter the place and there I saw, something amazing.
The horde of hunters in their hunter uniform, walking here and there. Some small shop sells potion and some other shops are doing full business.
At the center of this place, a huge ball of energy that emits blue golden floated. The size of the ball exceeds my own height and maybe even bigger than an elephant.
'Don't we enter the dungeon through portals? Is this portal? I heard, the portal is circular in size, but it looks spherical.'
I wonder... Shaking my head, I disperse my thoughts and join the queue of the people that are lined to go inside that energy of the ball.
My eyes darted around. Hunters were doing their own business without paying attention to anyone.
Some hunters were covered in blood, but their faces emitted a positive aura while their lips curved upward and made a smile. Just from a glance, one could guess they have gained a lot of profit.
Some hunters had a negative aura floating around them. Tears were dropping from their eyes. I could feel their despair of losing a companion.
Some hunters were serious, as they had a cold and emotionless faces.
Some hunters were smiling and laughing ignoring the atmosphere of the dungeon. I guess, they are rookies, who are careless and full of openings.
'Careless will get you killed, dude!'
I emitted my thoughts to them, but since I don't have any telepathy skills, they naturally didn't hear it.
Expect of thinking about others, I should care about myself. Wearing a normal shirt and pants, with a kitchen knife as my weapon, I headed out to the dungeon. Just thinking about it is making me laugh, if people just paid little attention to me, I am sure, many laughter will echo here.
I am sure that many hunters will laugh at me, while some will worry and advise me, while some will yell at me and some will mock me.
But...
'I am totally relaxing. I don't have any fear in my heart even going inside a dungeon without any real defense and with a kitchen knife which can't be even called a weapon... Hahaha....'
I let out a dry smile, as I see my time has finally come to shine. As I was walking inside the dungeon, I felt many gazes at me.
If I had stayed a minute longer then I would have even heard some gossip about me, but I didn't have time for that.
I walked at the center of the ball of energy, while the hot energy made me sweat and made little harder for me to breathe. But the moment I reached the center, my surrounding became blurry.
'Huh...?'
Dizziness invaded my brain, and darkness covered my vision. Just after a second...
"Wow..."
I couldn't help but be amazed by this.
'I guess, that is the lowest type of portal? Maybe...'
I thought while examining my surrounding.
Looking like a cave, the whole place was filled with huge stones. Even if there was no way, sunlight could enter here, the place was still bright, like the sun is just inside this cave.
And mysteriously, I couldn't feel hot or cold. The temperature was too perfect. But there was not a single hint of life. No grass, no plant, not even a bacteria. I can't see any life in here.
I took out the dead flies from my body. They came out like energy and slowly materialized, it took at least 10 seconds for them to be in perfect shape, and form.
Buzz! Buzz!
Their annoying sound echoed inside the dungeon, making me annoyed.
"Rawrrr... Grrr....."
Suddenly, an animal sound enters my ear. I immediately raise my guard and looked around. My eyes darted around to find the owner of that sound. My eyes stopped moving at the sight of a figure.
The figure slowly came closer, and I could see it clearly. A wolf that had an angry expression on its face walked toward me while leaking out saliva from its mouth. Its figure was bigger than that of a normal wolf, and I could feel slight energy flowing inside its body.
The wolf looked at me with the gaze of a hunter. I step back and look at my flies.
"Time for you to shine, flies! Go and kill that damn wolf!"
BUZZZ!
The flies flew at an incredible speed and appeared right beside the wolf.
Slice! Puk!
Before I could even blink, I hear the sound of flesh cutting. And just as I blinked, I saw the head of the wolf leaving its body. The wolf's body shook and splattered blood all over the place.
Whimper!
Its separated head let out its final cry before closing its eye and dying.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!"
These words left my mouth, I couldn't even hold my amazement. This is beyond words, they killed an F-rank wolf in just some seconds.
My eyes lit, as the wolf's body glowed.
T-ring!
[A small monster body has been revived]
[A new skill has unlocked - 'Link' has been added into Necromancy skill set]
"Link?"
I titled my head while looking at the dead wolf. Its head that was separated reattached to its neck and stood. The blood was still on the ground, but it didn't seem to affect the wolf.
T-ring!
[An information has been received - When the caster is lower in level than the creature that is revived, the caster gets additional stats to balance the power between the summoner and the summoned]
[Alan]
-LifeForce: (10)
-Strength: (15)
-Mana: (10)
-Stamina: (12)
[Skill(s): [(Necromancy - Skill Set (+)]]
"Woah! My stats increased a ton just by reviving a wolf? Then if I summon even greater being, how much stats I will gain!"
I calmed myself before going overboard. I look at the wolf, which is standing in front of me. I don't understand this...
Don't the body of the monster of the dungeon disappear when they are killed and their cores, and sometimes skills are left behind? If the monsters stopped disappearing, then what will happen?
Will the monster in this dungeon will be finished? Or...
I can't even imagine any other things, and I feel a little scared, but if the dungeon becomes emptied of monsters, then won't that be a good thing?
Well, anyway, let's not think much about this!
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I could feel some strings that are on my body being connected with my summoned.
As I open my eyes and focuses, I could see the blue string that is made up of mana clearly. I focused on those strings, and I tried to control the monsters.
"WOW!"
I could control those! I can move them with my will, and they don't move without my permission... This is so awesome!
A big smile formed on my face, but my smile didn't stay that long. More wolves appeared in my direction, looking for a fight.
I stare at those wolves with a smile on my face, as I raise my hand.
"Let's kill them!"
"Grr!"
The wolves gritted their teeth as they walked towards me. They glare at me with the eyes of the hunter which made me feel pity for them.
If there was any normal hunter in my place, then I am sure they would have frozen from fear. But, I am different, I didn't have any fear in my heart.
"Heh!"
A smile crept on my face making me look like a villain. I raise my hands and in a loud voice I ordered, "Charge!"
Buzz! Swoosh!
In just a second, the flies and the wolf charged at the wolves without any hesitation.
Slice! Bang!
The flies cut the head of the wolves, separating them from their body while the wolf slapped another wolf making it fly in the air at an incredible speed and hitting the wall which probably broke every bone of its body.
