Complete The Dungeon
“No.”The interruption came from the swordsman who had suggested cutting down the trees.He voiced out, his expression hardening."We're not retreating."The raid leader's brows drew together."Excuse me?" The Lead Hunter says."You heard me. We're not going to abandon a D-rank dungeon because a few Kobolds decided to hide in trees.""They're not ordinary Kobolds," another hunter pointed out."They're still Kobolds!" the swordsman snapped. "We've cleared several D-rank dungeons before. Are we seriously going to run away now?"A murmur of agreement rose among the hunters.Another swordsman spoke up."He's right. We weren't prepared for an ambush, but that doesn't mean we can't handle it. We've already killed six of them with our firepower. If we keep up the pressure, we can clear the rest."Xavier stared at them.Are they serious?He looked from one hunter to another.They were experienced Awakened.They had fought monsters, cleared dungeons, and survived situations that would have kil
Retreat.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Xavier looked up at the trees.Something had changed.The trunks were still thick, the branches still tangled, and the leaves still swayed gently in the breeze. Yet the forest no longer looked like an impenetrable wall of green.He could distinguish individual leaves.He could make out the rough texture of the bark, the smaller branches hidden behind thicker ones, and the subtle movements of the foliage.More importantly, he could see them.The Kobolds.One crouched on a branch several meters above the ground, its narrow eyes fixed on the hunters below. Another clung to a nearby trunk, its greyish fur blending almost perfectly with the surrounding foliage.A third shifted behind a cluster of leaves.Xavier followed its movement.There you are.He could finally see them clearly enough to identify their positions.But seeing his enemies was only half the problem.How was he supposed to reach them?His gaze moved between the trees.Majority of the hunters weapons and abilit

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [Seventeen Meters]Xavier raised his hand.The archers drew their bows.The fire mages began gathering mana, flames flickering around their hands.[Sixteen meters.]Xavier's palm tightened.[Fifteen meters.]"NOW!"The earth mage slammed his hand against the ground.A deep rumble shook the forest.The ground lurched.Then earth erupted from the soil, rising into a rough circular wall in a fifteen meter radius from the hunters.Roots snapped, stones shifted, and clumps of dirt flew into the air.The wall rose to roughly five and a half feet.Not particularly tall.But enough to obstruct movement.Something shrieked from the bushes.Xavier's eyes widened.They were there."FIRE!"The two mages thrust their hands forward.Flames roared across the enclosed ground, firing straight towards the wall.The sudden heat swept through the vegetation, illuminating the forest in flashes of orange.The Kobolds erupted into motion.Small, fur covered figures leaped from the bushes, shrie
Fifteen Meters.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~The laughter continued.The hunters remained in formation, weapons raised as they remained extremely vigilant.The lead hunter's grip tightened around his sword.Something was wrong.Kobolds were known to hunt in groups. They were cunning creatures, and their habit of mocking their prey with laughter was well documented.But this?Staying hidden while systematically surrounding their enemies?That was different.He had encountered Kobolds before. They usually relied on their numbers, rushing their targets and overwhelming them through sheer aggression. They could be surprisingly coordinated to a degree, but this level of patience was unusual.There was only one explanation he could think of.'An Alpha Kobold.'His expression darkened.But this is supposed to be a D-rank dungeon.Alpha Kobolds only appeared in mutated D-rank dungeons or C-Rank dungeons. Their presence usually meant the group was dealing with something far more dangerous.He glanced toward th

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~The moment Xavier stepped into the dungeon, he was greeted by the green scenery.The smell of rain and plants hit him hard.Trees stretched high above them, their branches spreading across the sky. Thick bushes covered the ground, while vines hung from the trees.The air was cool and damp.Xavier took a deep breath.His chest was still rising heavily from the anxiety he'd felt before entering, but he forced himself to calm down.They had barely taken a few steps when the hunters began spreading out.Weapons were drawn.Some held swords.Others carried spears, bows, or weapons Xavier couldn't identify.Everyone was watching their surroundings.Xavier followed their example.One thing he had learned from his previous dungeon experiences was simple.Never let your guard down.A dungeon wasn't like the outside world.Danger could come from anywhere.Above.Behind.Even beneath your feet.He glanced at the trees.Then the bushes.Nothing.At least, nothing he could see.‘System
A Spike.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~After a brief drive, the faint blue glow of the dungeon portal came into view.It stood a short distance from an abandoned Church.Its rounded surface shimmering like a thin layer of water suspended in the air.Unlike Gates, which looked more like jagged cracks tearing through space, dungeon entrances were usually stable and smooth.This one was no different.The hunters slowed as they approached.Once they reached the entrance, the atmosphere changed.The casual conversations stopped.Everyone became more focused.The hunter's dropped while the large vehicles were moved a short distance away from the portal.The hunters began unloading their equipment. Tents were set up, supplies were arranged, and the group gathered together to discuss their strategy.Xavier stood slightly away from them, watching.He had entered dungeons before.But never anything like this.The difference wasn't just the rank.It was the number of people.The preparation.The equipment.Everything abou
