Chapter 15: Just A Small Pond In The Sea
ntal tentacles spread out from Lucien to his house and imdiately after, an invisible energy bound the two worms in place, making them freeze as if soone cast a spell on them.
The system imdiately rang.
DING! [Dungeon Landlord’s innate skills: ]
[Absolute Control (Myth)]
[Description: In your house, you can control your enemies as you wished]
[Current rank’s limit: 1 chance]
[Estimated skill usage recovery: 24 hours]
[Skill duration: 10 seconds]
Shaaaa...
The worms couldn’t even open their mouths to speak and could only watch as the house gradually entered the void, along with their bodies.
Tear. Tear. Tear.
The worms’ hard shells were instantly torn to pieces and the mont their flesh touched the void, the two worms swayed and collapsed to the yard with a loud noise.
Thud!
With the three bodies piling at the yard, the bodies naturally fell out of the territory and when the house entered the void, the part that wasn’t in the house’s territory would definitely be shredded to pieces.
But Lucien was unwilling!
That’s his spoil of war!
He survived this damned misfortune, at least he had to get sothing back!
Without using the absolute control skill and just using the basic control, Lucien manipulated the three gigantic worms’ dead bodies andimagined tossing them into the sli dungeon.
Three worms’ bodies imdiately disappeared.
The slis in the dungeon were fretting over their queen’s condition when huge shadows suddenly smashed down their hall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Glurggg!!"
So slis were so scared that they fainted on the spot while others were squashed by the bodies, barely alive.
Oopps.
Sorry, guys. Keep the worms for now and don’t eat it!
After warning the slis to keep his war spoils, Lucien’s head throbbed even harder than before and he finally cut off the ntal tentacles connected to his house, leaving only his 360° vision behind.
"Ugh."
It was at this mont that the house flickered, its figure gradually turning faint and the void around slowly swallowed the house.
Lucien’s 360° vision imdiately zood out and the image of the whole street appeared in his eyes.
Maybe because the space was unstable or sothing, sohow, Lucien’s vision could finally see way beyond the 100-ter radius around his house.
His eyes were filled with a vast expanse of red fog, dense in so areas and thin in other areas.
Lucien’s vision subconsciously focused on the area with thinner red fog and then...
He wished he could stab his eyes blind.
Thump. Thump.
Towering black silhouettes slowly moved behind the thin fog.
From their silhouette, they looked like the shelled worms he faced before.
One, three, five—
Deeper into the red fog, another figure lood over the worms, making the worm look like a child compared to it.
Krrkrkkkk.
Kiek. Kiek. Kiek.
Shhhhhhhh.
Various strange noises echoed from all parts of the area.
The street Lucien was in suddenly felt like a small pond in front of the big sea.
Lucien didn’t even dare to see the things behind the much thicker fog, but he swore he saw many, many more...moving beings.
So...were even as tall as a skyscraper.
Lucien’s hair all stood up.
Damn. Damn. Damn.
Just where is this place?!
Thank God he won’t co back to this hellish place.
Lucien’s vision blurred, his house disappeared from the area and he imdiately sighed in relief, but the next second, the system’s notification shattered his peaceful heart.
DING! [To stabilize the second anchor, the main dungeon will co to the second coordinate every midnight and return to the first anchor once the sun rises.]
[Landlord, please be prepared!]
!!
What?? He would return to this fucking place tomorrow night??
Lucien’s lazy soul imdiately sprung up and burst with fire.
No, when he returned, he had to find out what kind of fucking place is this!
Lucien imprinted all the unique landmarks of the street he was in and other nearby areas into his brain.
A split second before his vision darkened, Lucien seed to see a vague glowing figure appearing in his house.
The figure mouthed without a voice—
Good. Job.
At the sa ti, Civil City.
Shaaa....
A house flickered and appeared out of thin air, quietly settled in the previous place.
The thick white fog around the house concealed anything behind it and no one except for the unlucky teen tenant saw the strange phenonon.
"...I must have been hallucinating."
The underage tenant thrown next door rolled his eyes and fainted for the second ti, trying to stay out of whatever strange thing happened at his previous rented house!
Back at the house, when Lucien returned, it had only been ten minutes, but he felt like he had been in that strange place for ten hours.
Lucien wanted to sleep on the spot but he groggily used his 360° vision to check on the sli queen at the pool and Mumu at the tenant room.
Hm, they look fine for now.
Then...let’s find out about that place tomorrow...
Lucien felt the floor under his feet move on its own, carrying him back to the bedroom.
What a good house.
"Thanks....and good night."
The mont Lucien’s head hit the pillow, he instantly fell asleep.
He didn’t hear the system ring softly.
A super small, faint screen popped up.
DING. [Day 1 observation is complete.]
[Collecting the data ??????]
[Transmitting the data ??????]
[Data has been successfully transmitted.]
The system fell silent again, as if nothing happened.
When the house was silent and all living beings were sleeping...
An invisible force slowly carried Mumu out of the tenant room and tossed him into the healing pool along with the sli king.
Then the house slowly trembled, but the tremor was so gentle that not even Lucien felt the movent.
Creak. Creak.
The cracks all over the wall, the damaged yard and the big hole at the front wall slowly regenerated on its own, albeit super, super slow.
A sigh drifted in the wind before disappearing without a trace.
While Lucien, his slis and his house were all recovering, the night owl citizens were super active.
Civil City’s local news and internet dia were all boiling like magma.
[A new awakener appeared in Civil City! Check the awakening video here ??????]
[The new awakener cleaned up a gate break and soloed a sli dungeon right upon awakening! Estimated potential is ??????]
[The local hunters and Civil City’s awakener bureau barely contained the gate break at the South of the city today ?????? ]
A slender, pale fingers clicked through all the articles and videos.
The white light from the floating 3D holographic screen casted a shadow on the face as pale as a ghost.
A pair of crimson eyes stared at the screen and the corner of the red lips slowly lifted, revealing protruding sharp canine teeth.
"Ah~ a new awakener, huh. This one...looks fun."
The boyish voice murmured as they made a few clicks.
Overnight, the entire Civil City was bombarded with various articles and videos about a certain landlord.
A new storm is brewing.
