Time quickly went by as Raoul remain Hidden deep within the abyss recovering after his ordeal. As soon as Raoul was strong enough to walk again Phoenix began his training, whenever he got badly hurt, she would immediately heal him and do the training all over again. This hellish training continued everyday pushing Raoul Further and further to his limits, From Training they moved on to real battles against Monsters that took refuge in the middle catacombs of the abyss. Phoenix did not intervene in any of Raoul's figths unless necessary and once it was over then she would congratulate him for staying alive. These monsters were not ordinary and Raoul had no choice but to fight them bare handed. In her spare time Phoenix would disappear for days, leaving Raoul to train and level up by his self, so she could gather information on the four Holy hero's and their progress before returning to update Raoul. This became their everyday routine.

One Year became Two and Two became three. Raoul became taller and more refined the scars of his passed still present on his body reminding him why he must endure. He soon realized he could no longer level up due to an unknown restriction, his level stopped at 99 and would not advance regardless of how hard he continued to train.Phoenix seemed to know why his level would not go up any further but decided to let him figure it out for his self for her own amusement.

"I think it's about time you created your first subordinate, no better time to build an army except now don't you think?"

"Create? And not recruit?"

Phoenix laughed, took out a red glowing gem and tossed it to Raoul, after catching it Raoul careful examined it, fascinated by the glowing gem.

"Phoenix what is this? It's so warm?"

"That's a flame core from my dungeon, it's what dungeon masters use to create their subordinates but you'll need to use it along with a monster core to actually create anything at all. You can summon them from anywhere and use them as you like...only draw back is it takes alot of Mana to generate one "

"Is that so..." Raoul whisperes while gazing at the gem.

"It is, eventually you'll learn everything you need to...well my time here is done, I'm heading back to check on my children, so your on your own from here on, I look forward to your achievements Prince Raoul....and word of advise find somewhere safe to create your dungeon...Because once you do the world will know of your existance "

Raoul Covered his eye's from the blinding light as Phoenix disappeared in a bright flare, as soon as the light faded Raoul looked around then further examined the flame core Phoenix gave him. After putting it away Raoul countinued to train even more, improving his battle senses and developing his signiture skills and spells that Phoenix had thought him. Months passed and Raoul slowly came to the realization, He could improve himself no further staying inside the dungeon and decided it was time to leave. That night Raoul washed himself in a stream that ran through the abyss, clipping his dark silky hair and washing the dirt and blood stains from his body revealing his toned skin.

While packing Raoul's mind wondered thinking on how to best deal with his family.

"I'll need to learn more about the world once i leave...I'm sure alots changed since i've been gone...and i'll need to prepare myself...i'm sure my brothers levels are far higher than Lv99.."

Now certain what he wanted to do, Raoul went further down into the dungeon to the sealed room where the dungeon core was located.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

As he approached the room his heart raced, beating faster and faster the closer he got, he could feel the Mana flow from the room surging around him. As he opened the doors , a huge gust of wind blasted by however Raoul remained unmoved not being pushed back even an inch. In the center of the room was a floating Orb emitting a purple glow that lightened up the room, He walked towards the orb and gentle pulled it towards him. He started to recall what Phoenix told him.

[[The Dungeon Core is the heart of the dungeon. Attaching it to an appropriate location will be very beneficial to you, once there is enough mana in that location you can absorb it and use it to construct your dungeon and promote your subordinates to your liking. But bear in mind once you fuse it to that location no matter what happens it can never be moved again. So make ur choice wisely]]

"I gave it alot of thought and I now know what i need to do to move forward....having my Core attached permanently to any location is Suicide for me because the moment i do that the world will become aware of my existence...and ill become a sitting duck for strong adventures especially those heros....I've never seen anyone do this before and i dont know the risk but its better to try and fail than to not try at all..here goes nothing"

With a worried look Raoul swallowed the dungeon core in one gulp, quickly closing his eyes tightly wilst crouching, hugging his self for dear life waiting for what would come next. But nothing happen.

"Did it work? Or do i need to say something for it to take effect?..." Raoul whispered to himself while pondering about what it could be.

He clenched both fist then released them, doing this repeatedly while checking them before he finally came to a conclusion.

" DUNGEON SET!!" he shouted at the top of his voice while placing his hand over his chest.

.....

Badum!....Badum!....Badum!!!

An intense feeling of discomfort over took Raoul's body, throwing him to the ground in pain. He groaned and railed in agony as it became more and more unbearable, Vain's rose over his face and over his body as if he was about to explode. The dungeon core was now merging it self to Raoul's body absorbing all the Mana in the abyss, packing every ounce of mana into his body. Raoul fell to the ground shaking as his body started to be crushed under the amount of Mana that was being absorbed.

Not again Raoul groaned in pain determined to succed and not die once more.

Blood soon started to leak like a stream from his eyes, ears and mouth.

"A-AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!"Raoul let out a loud cry of pain that echoed to the surface shaking the dungeon.

His body instantly started to glow as the dungeon started to collapse around him due to the Mana that had held it up now being gone.

**UNIQUE SKILL DOMINANCE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED**

A massive explosion of mana blasted from the 100th floor of the Abyss piercing the sky with a beam of Dark Blue light. A large cloud of Mana residue rippled out over the continent of Gilgamesh. A few miles away Phoenix felt the enormous wave of Mana that rushed rushed over her dungeon, Phoenix noticed her hands shivering not due to the feeling of excitement but a feeling of despair as well.

"He's truly different from all the other dungeon Masters! The blast from his awakening shouldn't have reached this far south....Now everyone will know of your existence, you now have a target on your back and soon everyone's gonna come gunning for you Prince Raoul.... all nine races and the other Dungeon Masters ...hahaha i knew you'd bring me alot of entertainment" Phoenix mumbled with a pleased look on her face.

The Dungeon of the Abyss collapsed completely, as the dust from the Dungeon rose, Raoul could be seen walking out of it as if nothing had happened. He was still covered in his blood but he was no longer in any pain. He Wiped the blood away from his mouth using his arm, then rubbed back his messy hair in place.

"It worked!.....it actually worked!" Raoul shouted as he laughed.

He let out a deep sigh rigth after, looking to the sky observing the outside which he had not seen in a very long time. With a pleased smile Raoul quickly left the area.

Disappearing as if he was never there leaving the entire continent in the dark wondering what in existence could have caused a Mana Wave like that. For a while the continent became chaotic due to the nine races becoming desperate to obtain whatever it was that held that much mana, Thus all nations came to an agreement whatever it was must be killed and examined to find out the origin of its power, So a group of strong hero's were formed. One representative was chosen from every race to be apart of it, to conduct this search and to keep the other nations in check, One of the four hero's that were summoned by Raouls father was apart of this new group. The Alliance of The Nine Races.
