Chapter 51 4 - Dungeon (2)
"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.
"Two wolves dead, 2 remained."
I murmured while sitting far from the battleground watching the battle like it was a movie. Two wolves who were dead stood and joined my army, and just after a minute, another two wolves died. And joined my team.
"3 flies and 5 wolves. I have a perfect team now!"
I exclaimed with a happy face.
Generally, 5 groups of people form a team to dive into the dungeon. One swordsman, whose strength is the highest among the team.
Two tankers, whose life force and stamina are the highest. Two soldiers, whose stamina and strength are the highest. And finally, one mage whose mana is the highest.
A team needs to have good coordination among themselves. If they don't have a good co-operation then you can tag them as death in social media with #DeathHunters and #FoolishHunters
Anyway, the swordsman is the one who fights head-on with the monster, one tanker protects the mage and another acts as a shield for the swordsman. Soldiers give support from back or use surprise attacks. And mages heal the wounds or give them buff or use attack skills from the back.
But here I am alone in this dungeon without any preparation, just relying on my summon.
By the way...
"If they all are summoned then...
WHERE WILL I GET CORES AND SKILLS? HOW WILL I EARN MONEY?!!!!!!"
The dead team tilted their heads as they heard my scream. I stare at the wolves and thought of an idea.
"Give me your core!"
The wolf didn't do anything and just stare at my face making me feel like an idiot.
...
''I don't know if it will work or not... But here goes!'
I command one of my wolves to lay on its stomach, I took out my knife and...
Puk!
I stab on its stomach, but no blood came out. The wolf stayed still, as it looks like, it didn't feel any pain.
''I guess, dead don't really feel any pain.'
With that, I opened the wolf's stomach and there I saw!
'One low-ranked core!'
I pick the core and search for more things, but I didn't find anything except its organ which isn't even working.
I left the wolf as it is and examine the core. The core size was small and looked like a pill. Its shape was a perfect circle while it emitted dim blue light.
I wanted to eat it but I want to save it for money. And I don't really need cores as my level will increase based on the level of my summons.
I put the core on my backpack, which I brought for this purpose, and look at the wolf. The wolf stood still and stared at me, its wound was healed and it looked like same as it was earlier like nothing happened to it.
I ignore that wolf and started doing my work, to open up all the stomachs of the wolves and take cores from them.
Some minutes later...
I took 4 cores from the wolves. And I got one surprise...
"I found a skill!"
I stare at the palm-size ball, which is made up of mana. The mana was perfectly condensed on it, and it looked delicious.
As I stare at it, a small window opened in front of my eyes.
[Appraisal]
-Rank F
-Evolvable
-Can look at the information of anything - but can't access information of beings that are higher in level than the viewer
Nice!
I eat the skilled ball. My body filled with energy and warmth as I ate the ball.
"Appraisal eyes!"
I chanted the spell, and my eyes glowed. I look at the fly with my glowing eye and something of a question mark (?), appeared on its head. I clicked the question mark and a small window opened.
[Fly]
-Status: Dead
-Sub-Status: Summoned
-Currently Enhanced
-Rank: F (But is stronger than a normal F monster

-Description: Fly is a common insect found on planet 'Earth'. Currently is dead and summoned by the summoner named 'Alan'. F rank insect, which can be put into the category of a monster. This being can't use any skill and can be manually controlled.
"Nice! This skill is really useful! Now next is..."
[Wolf]

-Sub-Status: Summoned
-Currently Enhanced

This is interesting!
Suppressing my happiness, I advanced my journey.
Dungeon... generally more than one floor. Some may have more rooms instead of floors. But dungeons with rank F to D or c have floors. Mostly, there are five floors in the dungeon with the last 4 being the general monster floor and the final floor being the boss room.
Some dungeons have more floors but those cases are rare.
And, the stairs to the next floors are in the center of the dungeon. And I am currently making my way there.
Hopefully, I don't meet with any hunters, or explaining this situation will be hard, and at worst, I will consider as a unique monster who can control other monsters and also looks like a human.
Anyway, I walked to the center of the dungeon with full confidence, without any hint of nervousness and fear. And my summons followed me from behind, carefully looking for any monster to kill or hide if any human is near.
"Ahoo..."
Howl!!
Ho...w...ll!
Death cries of wolves echoed in the dungeon, as new members joined my teams.
"Yay! I got a total of 100 cores!!"
I announced. I raise my hands in the air and a huge grin formed on my face. I could see money in my hands...
I look behind. My army sat on the ground and stare at me, waiting for my orders. There is a total of 105 wolves and 3 flies. And that was not my limit, I could summon more monsters.
But even if I have these many summonses, I only took 20 wolves out and put them all inside the storage, so the dungeon wouldn't be full of wolves and I don't want to traumatize any hunters with that many wolves.
I also got 5 additional skills that aren't that useful for me except [Fireball].
I am currently on the fourth floor, making my way to the boss room. As I reach up, a huge door blocked my path. The door looked like it was made from stone, and it was 100 times bigger than me. Two skulls-looking things were at the middle of the door like it was the door handle.
The hallway I was standing in was filled with darkness, but as I touched the door, the dark hallway glowed as the fire naturally burned on the torches.
Gulp!
Ignoring the light, I gulped down my saliva as I felt a sharp aura emitting from the door. The monster inside is probably stronger than these wolves. Sweat dripped from my forehead.
Haah! Huff!
I took a deep breath and steeled my resolve. I slightly pushed the door and it opened all the way. As the door opened, I could see an empty spacious room that was filled with nothing except a huge beast.
A wolf bigger than the normal monster wolf, its sharp eyes glare at me. I froze... the pressure emitting from the beast was huge. I could feel ten elephants sitting on my head.
I gritted my teeth and endure the pressure, and released all of my monsters. The monsters filled up the whole room. My wolves surrounded the boss wolf, but even with that, the boss wolf didn't flinch as it didn't see the normal monster as its enemy.
For it, the wolves were just puny creatures.
"Charge!"
I shouted. All the wolves jumped at the boss monster, as I slipped from the battleground and end up at the corner of the room.
The wolves hit the boss wolf with their claws.
Howl!!
The boss wolf howled, as its sound created a huge shockwave making my wolves fly away and hit the wall.
They didn't die but were slightly injured. But their injuries healed quickly. But I could feel my mana decreasing.
Bang! Puk!
The battle continued. Many of my wolves died and they didn't regenerate. Some were injured but it seems they were healed by my mana. As they healed, I felt tired. My body weakened, as my legs trembled.
But I held up. I didn't fall. I know, if I fall then I will lose my consciousness and that would be the end of me.
