I followed the message on my phone and headed directly to the specified area.

As soon as I entered the 3rd zone, just like it was written on the phone, someone called me to give the exact location of the dungeon.

Without wasting any time, I arrived at the location of the dungeon and met the climbing team.

The climbing team consisted of five people. As far as I could understand, there was a tank, a melee fighter, a scout, a marksman, and a healer.

This was my guess. Because they were carrying an artifact, I couldn't see their information or what level they were at.

The group was made up of three men and two women, and I never spoke to the others except for the team captain, Mr. George.

Mr. George was the tank and captain of this team. He was in his forties and seemed very affable. Of course, if he was trying to impress me with his friendly demeanor, he would have to wait a long time.

I know the awakened ones very closely. When a person undergoes an awakening, their emotions change too. They usually become conceited. For example, I can show the other members of the team. They didn't even look at me, let alone talk to me. I was no different from an ant to them.

"Alright, before we enter the dungeon, I will give you some information about the dungeon."

These words snapped me out of my thoughts. The owner of these words was an official sent by the city of A. The official was a short girl with short black hair. She wore a black suit and was looking at the tablet she held in her right hand while talking to us.

"This dungeon is the lowest level, [E-] level dungeon, and it's estimated to explode in about three days. Since the guilds don't care about low-level dungeons, the city of A decided to intervene and clear this dungeon," she said, and then she looked up from her tablet and scanned the group.

"Although it's a low level, this is a one-time dungeon. So be cautious and don't let your guard down," she added.

In response to these words, George said, "Don't worry, we will be very careful. After all, this isn't our first time clearing a dungeon." From the small smile on his face, I could tell that he had a lot of confidence in himself and his group.

The official nodded her head and went to sit in the car behind her. As far as I understood, she would wait for us until we came out.

George slapped me on the back and asked, "Are you ready, son?"

I nodded my head with a serious expression on my face.

"Great! The things you need to do are quite simple. Stay behind us and collect the cores of the monsters we kill. The next group will handle the bodies," he said.

Hearing this, I asked, "If a collection group is going to enter after us, why don't we leave the cores for them too?"

At the magic academy, they taught us to kill monsters, not to loot them.

"If the cores stay inside the dead body for too long, they wear out and lose their effectiveness," George replied.

"Hey Captain! Stop chatting with the carrier and let's enter the dungeon!" a woman from the group shouted.

"Alright, we're coming!" George shouted back and gave me a knife from his pocket.

"According to the scouts who entered before us, there's a cave full of goblins inside. The core of the goblins is in front of the rib cage, and it's easy to collect. You're lucky!"

"Thank you, sir."

"No need to thank me, just do your job. Let's go."

With these words, I followed the group into the dungeon.

I had entered dungeons before through the academy, so the portal didn't affect me much. When I opened my eyes, we were in a cave lit by torches.

"Nathan, go ahead and let us know if there's any danger."

"Aaron, stay with Amy and protect her."

"Katarina, you follow behind me."

As soon as we entered, George started giving orders to his men.

"Carrier! Stay at the very back of the group and don't act on your own!"

It would be more accurate to say that he rained orders on everyone, including me.

Just a few seconds later, the scout named Nathan appeared from the shadows and walked towards George.

I know his ability. It's called Shadow Step. As the name suggests, he can move like a shadow. For someone to notice him, their willpower statistic has to be higher than that of the shadow user. At least... that's what the books said.

"There are goblins ahead in groups of three. They are quite far from each other and don't carry weapons that can threaten us. Also, as far as I can see, their nutrition is very poor, and they have weakened," Nathan reported.

Hearing this, George nodded his head and said, "This is a great opportunity for us. How many goblins did you see?"

"I saw about twenty goblins. If their density continues at the same level, there will be at least fifty goblins by the time we reach the boss door."

"That's quite few, I don't think they will cause us any trouble," said Katarina, the archer of the group.

"Well, since we've made our decision, let's move on!"

With George's words, we started moving forward.

It was just as Nathan had said. The goblins were scattered in groups and had weakened considerably.

I was even sure that I could defeat one of them in a one-on-one fight.

Because the goblins were weak, we moved quickly and reached the door leading to the boss room in just half an hour.

The door was four meters tall and made of solid wood. As soon as we approached the door, it automatically opened.

George led the way into the boss room, and I followed them. After all, this was a large cave, and we didn't know if all the goblins were dead. It would be more dangerous for me to leave their side.

At least that's what I thought until I saw the boss.

The door closed behind us, leaving us face to face with the boss.
