[Ace POV],
After returning to the true world to find the portal was still there, I curiously checked its information to see if there had been any new changes to it, only to find nothing.
Its difficulty was still set to normal, and given the present situation, the dungeon appears to be capable to run for another ti.
What I didn't know was if the dungeon would vanish after a few more entries, but it didn't appear to be the case. Despite this, I had no intention of returning to the dungeon.
This was due to several factors.
For one thing, I was exhausted from all the hours I'd spent in there, and while I had the basic stamina pill to help with this exhaustion, I didn't forget that taking too many pills was poison to the body despite their many benefits due to impurities in them.
It was okay to digest the pill in a reasonable amount, but when the intake becos unreasonable, it becos dangerous to the body, so this was one factor that made limit myself to only taking pills when necessary, though I have not strictly followed this rule since I did abuse the use of the pills.
Aside from that, the primordial records I could obtain from the dungeon were now insufficient for to level up.
The first run went well because I was weak at the ti, but as my level increased, so did the number of primordial records required to level up.
The only thing the dungeon could give now were the resources I'd gain inside, which were the magic gems and the sli monster's crystal cores.
These two were important materials, but since I had a lot of them in my storage ring and wasn't using them right now, going to the dungeon would only add to their already large stock.
Having more is certainly beneficial, but the stress that accompanied it was sothing I did not want to deal with right now.
As I considered this, I took a look around before calling out the primordial chronicle in my head, and as soon as the blue panel appeared in front of , I made my way to the map section, and after determining the direction ho was, I picked up my speed and dashed in that direction.
It was finally ti to call it a day.
Perhaps it was because of the ti, but I did not encounter many monsters on my way ho, and the ones I did encounter, I ran away from, not because I was afraid, but because I saw no point in fighting them because, aside from the fact that it no longer held that much importance to my job, the monsters did not appear to be the types that could elicit an emotional response from , thus my actions.
My journey back to the grassy hill that led to the bronze door of the alternate dinsion, on the other hand, was rather smooth.
It was already nightti in the true world, so Anna and the others could be in the alternate dinsion, but given the ti difference between the true world and the alternate dinsion, it's very likely that they are not in the alternate dinsion and are instead outside in the true world doing whatever they are doing.
This was one of several thoughts racing through my mind as I got closer to the grassy hill, occasionally consulting my map.
Everything was going swimmingly well until I ca to a halt in my run.
The area I was in was filled with trees, much like most places in the true world, but that wasn't the issue.
The problem was that the surroundings were too quiet, which may not seem like a big deal, but I just felt the surroundings were just too quiet.
The fact I also felt I was being watched didn't help at all.
Because I suspected sothing was going on in my current surroundings, I chose to walk to my destination instead, raising my guard to the max, but the further I walked, the more I felt myself being watched.
I was so uncomfortable that I just wanted to get out of there, but just as I was about to run, I noticed sothing approaching from behind, so I tilted my head to the other side, only to see an arrow flash past .
At this point, I didn't need to think much to realise I was being attacked, so I dashed from where I was, but it appears that it wasn't just one person attacking , but several, because as soon as I moved, several arrows appeared on all sides and were coming at .
Seeing this, I circulated the earth mana in my body and directed it to my right foot, and imdiately after doing so, I slamd my foot on the ground as multiple tall walls appeared in four places around to protect from the raining arrows. However, before I could run out from the walls I created using earth magic, I saw a fireball being fired in my direction, and without thinking, I sent my own fireball at it as both attacks denoted themselves in midair.
'Is this an assassination?' I wondered as it was ironic that I had never received an assassination threat in the world I knew, but had received one that appeared to be similar in an unknown world.
As I thought of this, I circulated my mana again to manipulate the earth walls I created and dismissed them before turning to make several earth spikes from the ground and shooting them in different directions around .
At this point, it was obvious that I was being attacked, but while I couldn't see who was attacking , they could, which put at a significant disadvantage.
This is why I randomly sent an attack to various locations to see if I could bring the rats out, but while I did hear so screams in the background, the rain of arrows did not stop to allow to create even more chaos, but there was one thing I did notice.
After my attack, I began to hear a strange language in the woods that I could understand for so reason, which could only an one thing.
The universal language only cos into play when I am not speaking with humans from my world, implying that the attack on was not carried out by my race but by another, but why?
