Chapter Four

The Core was still trying to balance his floor, dominant predators, even though it had given the remaining wolves skills, even the Forging Skills but with their low numbers the Twins had swept in and killed another wolf, although thankfully there had been a natural replacement for it in the form of two pups, the Core was tired of the Twins constant attempts to wipe out the poor wolves, so the core had decided to rectify it and gave the Alpha Bloodborne Wolf the [Lunar Warforged] Schema and hoped that it would change as it had for Starbreaker,

[Boss created, Specuis: Alpha Bloodborne Wolf, Boss Name: The Blood Alpha: Fenris, Class Changed to Match User, Class: Bloodborne Warforged Alpha (Legendary), Bloodborne Warforged Physique, Bloodborne Claws, Fear Aura, Bloodborne Duelist Style, Unending Momentum, Aspect of Bloodborne, Rapid Adaptation, Limitbreaker, Bloody Empowerment, I Didn’t Hear No Bell, Skill Upgraded, Leadership → Alpha’s Control, Forging Threshold reached, Forging Archetype Skills to form, Alpha Bloodborne Warforger, Respective Class and Skill Schemas Obtained]

The Core was ecstatic as it sensed that Fenris was just a step below Starbreaker, just barely a regular boss, and there was something at the edge of its vision, a group of invaders, Convenient, thought the Core, for it had just created a deadly defender.

Jonathan Wington and his team had spent the past three days trekking through the deadly wilderness, shortened by a month than a teleport circle connected to one of the border towns, when finally he saw a large source of pure mana, “There it is, the Dungeon, my new life.” He was going to enslave the stupid thing and attack right now with his group, “Well then shall we attack!” “YES” shouted the adventurers.

It took a few minutes to get to the entrance but when he got there, the mana was overwhelming, the fact it was this powerful meant it was already a Mithral ranked threat, which meant it at most had around two Bosses with Epic classes and around three Mini-Bosses with Rare classes, maybe if the Core had been extraordinarily lucky, a Raid-Boss with a Legendary class, also the bosses would far away from the entrance, since that kind of death was reserved for dungeons in Orichalum ranked dungeons and above, but he could expect the entrance to be heavily trapped.

As Jonathan entered the dungeon though a horrible shriek of terror rang through the air, Crap, it has Shrieker fungus, if it has the Gaseous variety then I’ll be in danger. Right as Johnathan looked to the side, he saw a floating purple eye, the fungus, Well, I'm screwed, he thought, because that kind of Shrieker was only found in Orichalcum Ranked dungeons or above, if that was there then- suddenly a blinding pain shot through his side as an arrow pierced his armor, then an acrid stench wafted over him, he looked up as black tendril descended from above, Rottouch fungus, not lethal but debilitating, very intelligent placing, you get distracted by the shriekers, shot by the arrows, then taken by the fungus for a slow, painful death. Most People would die but I'm not most People!

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Suddenly the tunnel erupted in flames Johnathan activated a Spell, “Raging Flame, Cleanse this place” he chanted “[Blaze Storm]” Everything was burned away the shriekers, the fungus, the spores that would have been released, the moss, everything had been burned to ash, “That was good trap, but also the bosses are probably going to closer to the entrance then, move in.” The Adventurers quickly ran into the tunnel, though not before Johnathan cast [Shield] on them, one of them ran forward and triggered more arrow traps, they weren’t harmed besides a minor bruise, still it was close, then the pendulum ax at the end of the tunnel, chopped one of the Golds in half, “Holy Mother of Gaia, Julian’s dead, his class was [Steel-Forged Protector], Rarity: Epic.” Crap, there goes one of them, and he was our tank.

He froze the ax and then fired a [Fireball] into the ground in front of the entrance, it passed right through an illusory floor and exploded, “Pit Trap, do we have any Earth Mages?” While I could do it myself it better to keep my cards to my chest if the dungeon was watching which most certainly was, considering we were the first people to ever enter this place. One of the Mages created a bridge of stone over the trap, and then the first monster appeared, a blood-red mantis with a gleaming red shell, black eyes, and claws dripping, just a quick look at them immediately placed them as a High Mithril Threat, or a Low Orichalum threat, then someone was unfortunate to be slashed by the monster, blood spurted into the air and his hand melted off, sloughing off large chunk then the rest of body except for the bones quickly followed, the blood curdled almost it had rotted. It was definitely a Mid Orichalcum threat, “Sarah’s dead, her class was [Summoner], Rarity: Rare, we need to leave!”

Johnathan activated another Spell, “Primordial Winds, help us escape from our folly, [Wind Blast]” The blast sent him and the group flying through the entrance sending him and the group dozens of feet away the entrance, Johnathan was the first to get to his feet, and he watched as the dungeon restored itself, now that he was paying attention with his [Mana-vision] the shriekers and Rottouch fungus had already restored themselves, “Anyone missing?” He shouted, and a forlorn and shocked voice answered behind him, “Kagura, his Class was RuEcho Samurai, Rarity: Le…Legendary.”

“WHAT!” Shouted Johnathan, “We had a Legendary and he’s now dead, actually how do you know everyone’s class and Rarity!” He marched over to a thin, scrawny man, and he stammered out “One of my s-skills, [Knowledge Finder], it lets me f-find knowledge that I don’t know, and allows me to t-take knowledge when from the d-dead, in this case your c-classes.”

Interesting, but he doesn’t know about my class, so I don’t to make him swear an Oath.

“Warn the empire, we need Orichalcum Ranked adventurers.” Johnathan stared at the death trap that was the dungeon. "Gaia help us"

But Gaia would not help them for, none of the gods would help them, for their fate was to be slain by the Dungeon
