CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TENAs the carriage got to the area where the dungeon was situated, the atmosphere got foggy, and the chirps of birds stopped; the lively forest went to rest as the whole area got eerie. Everyone knew that this was not just any dungeon, even if it was called a C-ranked dungeon; they all knew that this dungeon was bad news. “Prepare your gears for battles,” Dylan said as they were getting close to the dungeon. The closer they got, the scarier and darker the surroundings got. The horses got to a certain point, which they refused to move any further, so they had to drop and continue by foot; as they dropped down, Dylan ordered that they should fall into formation. The party got into their fighting formation as they walked closer to the dungeon with caution.At the entrance of the dungeon, a roar, which turned into a screech, was heard from inside. This sentence chills down their spines, but they have no other option but to go in and clear the dungeon. Dylan stopped t

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWELVEWeapons began clashing as the battle between Cain and Conan went on for more than thirty minutes; both men were on the offense as they kept looking for an opening to deal a fatal blow to one another, but all to no avail. Dylan, on the other hand, was shocked at how Conan could keep up with the pace of Cain, who was said to be an S-ranked; all he could see were flashes and blurry movements. He came to the conclusion that he couldn't follow their movements and he would only drag Cain down if he decided to help, so he began putting effort into gathering the remaining survivors of the incident, and the remaining tankers kept their shields activated as the surviving healers tried to heal the injured. Mira, who survived with some minor injuries because she was close to Dylan during the fall, had already taken potions that healed her completely, and after that, she began healing all the available injuries, starting from the critically injured. Dylan took the less

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOURTEENAfter five days in the clinic, Cain was discharged but was told to continue his visits to the clinic for check-ups, this was to keep his mana core in check, especially after a dungeon raid. Elena was happy that her brother was coming out of the clinic and she could give him the surprise that she had for him; they went for a little walk around the town square, and then they went to a restaurant to have a meal. They also headed to the guild association to claim their share of the raid price but they were summoned by the guild master on the spot.At the guild master's office, Cyril was seated at his table while Elena and Cain stood at the front of the table, he looked at them and said, “Cain, I take it that you're recovered from the battle you had in the dungeon, so I'll cut right to the chase. You're being summoned by the king.” “News of the dungeon raid and the dungeon mishaps had gotten to the council of the king, and the king himself demanded that he

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN “Ohh, he's waking up,” a voice said as they poured Cain a bucket of water. Regaining his consciousness, Cain tried to get up but was tied to a chair; he looked up and saw a sketchy-looking man standing beside Cyril. Cain was surprised as he asked, “Cyril, what are you doing here? I thought you were with the king?”With a mild chuckle, Cyril placed his hand on Cain's head bent it backward, and said, “This is where I want to be. Anyways, we'll start with questions.”The sketchy-looking man walked up to Cain and asked, “How did you find this basement side of the palace? Who told you about it? Who are you working for?”Cain, who was perplexed by the question, kept telling them he knew nothing about what they were asking and they kept torturing him. They broke his fingers one after the other as they asked and broke his toenails one by one also. As they went to get another torture equipment Alice said, “Notice, Do you wish to automatically heal from the inju

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN“I was just joking!” Randolf declared loudly, bursting into an uproar of laughter which his friends joined in almost immediately.Cain let out a heavy sigh of relief while he looked at the three men who mocked his perceived fear with their fingers and their laughter.“You needed to see your face, man. You looked like you were about to cry!” Randolf said, and then he burst out into another uproar of laughter which he sustained even when his friends signaled to him to stop.“That’s enough, Randolf! You are keeping the young man uncomfortable. Can’t you read the look on his face!” The first man who seemed to be older rebuked him at once just before he turned to look at Cain with a smile.“We didn’t get your name. I am Borius by the way…” The first man extended his right hand toward Cain for a handshake while he maintained a smile on his face, but Cain remained silent.When Borius was done shaking him, the second man extended his own hand to shake him as well
