Chapter 47: Dungeon Raid Is Starting In 3..2...1...
If the goal was to force hunters to use skills and not kill them outright, just enough to defend the dungeon—
Then, the sli was the best option!
Lucien placed the sli dungeon’s ball at the first slot and the spider at the second slot.
Once the three balls were aligned, the first ball enlarged and Lucien’s vision swept throughout the sli dungeon.
He subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows.
The sli dungeon’s terrain had to be changed.
Lucien’s finger moved, touching a cave wall.
The mont he dragged the cave wall, the entire dungeon shook, the wall slowly shifted.
Grrkkk.
Good, and here—
Before Lucien could continue, a red panel popped up.
DING! [Sli dungeon’s current data: ]
[Durability 70/100]
[Energy: 80%]
[Number of slis: 500]
In the durability column, a big fat -10 dyed in red popped up and Lucien’s fingers paused.
Huh? Is the dungeon damaged—
The image of his house’s floor bursting to pieces flashed in Lucien’s mind and his heart instantly jumped.
Wait! He forgot about the house!!
Sensing Lucien’s focus flickering, the system instantly sent a red panel.
[Warning! Warning! Skill casting is unstable!]
Oops! Okay, okay, calm down.
Lucien took a deep breath, put aside the sli dungeon and checked the third ball— his house.
[Durability: 30/100]
[Energy: 3%]
[Occupants: 3]
!! That’s so low!!
Lucien checked his [Repair] skill and saw that the cooldown was over, he could do it again.
But this ti, he definitely needed more than just the worm shells.
Lucien’s vision swept through the inside of his house and his eyes caught a glimpse of Lurenzo walking around the house.
His eyes instantly lit up.
Hello, the money bag— ah no, the material bag!
"Lurenzo."
Lurenzo, who was walking around, subconsciously stiffened.
A low, distant voice rang around him, full of majesty.
The voice sounded like it was from a different dinsion, as if...like a God.
Lurenzo shuddered, he imdiately held his gun tightly while looking around.
"Yes..?"
"Take out the materials I need."
? Who are you? Wait, materials?
Ah. It’s the bastard lord.
But Lurenzo didn’t even dare to think out loud.
He hurriedly took out his prized small plaque from the black market and poured out materials out of the plaque.
His hands trembled so much he almost dropped the plaque.
"M-my lord, I can only take out a little...is this enough?"
Lurenzo was crying inside.
He had to pay a service fee to the black market! Ahhh!
"Enough."
The voice drifted with the wind and the materials suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Lurenzo felt his legs weakening and he subconsciously wiped his forehead with trembling arms.
Damn it. That Lord is really....mysterious.
Not knowing that soone was scared silly, Lucien happily collected the materials and used his [Repair] skill.
Lucien’s inner soul kneeled and patted the damaged floor, hugging it tightly with tears.
Wuwuwu, sorry, baby, daddy just rembered the damaged tiles!
Look, daddy is fixing you now!
Woongggg.
The materials were slowly absorbed into the broken parts in the house.
The house shook, the sound of chewing rang and a panel popped up.
DING! [The Repair Skill’s estimated cooldown is 12 hours.]
[30 minutes until the repair is done.]
While waiting for the repair, Lucien’s vision shifted back to the sli dungeon and he stroked his chin.
Moving the structure reduced durability.
Let’s use the natural maze, but in ergency, durability had to be sacrificed.
After dealing with the maze, Lucien’s eyes moved to the sli’s hall.
The slis, who were gathering at the hall, felt an invisible gaze staring at them, their bodies instantly stiffened.
Glurg! The lord is here again!
Lord! Lord!
Lucien’s eyes flickered at the sight of the huge hall full of slis and he suddenly...ca up with an idea.
"Slis."
Lucien’s voice echoed throughout the sli dungeon and the slis kneeled in unison.
Glurg! Lord! Lord!
"Dig the hall."
...glurg?
"Use your saliva. Create a crater ten ters deep."
??
The slis all had question marks above their heads but they complied.
Glurg! Yes...lord!
The bigger slis started to use their saliva to corrode the hall and Lucien saw the durability barely decreased by less than 1 point.
His guess was right!
Using natives to alter the dungeon was way more efficient!
Now, then....
"Other slis. Collect the water around the cave and do this..."
Lucien was so focused on commanding the slis, altering the dungeon bit by bit when...
DING! [You may apply one buff to the sli dungeon’s natives]
[ 10% regeneration]
[ 10% agility]
[ 10% toxin resistance]
Huh? He could do this?
Aweso!
Hmm, the slis were already agile and could regenerate if the wounds weren’t fatal, so...
DING! [ 10% toxin resistance had blessed the sli dungeon’s natives]
A green aura coated the slis before disappearing, the slis looked around in confusion.
It felt as if they just received sothing from the lord.
Lucien wanted to look closer at the sli’s change, but—
[Skill casting countdown: 00:50:00]
Fifty minutes?? Ti is tight!
Lucien spoke to the slis, his voice urgent.
"Finish the task in fifty— no, forty minutes."
? The slis tilted their heads in unison but they still scattered throughout the dungeon, their figures turning into blurry shadows.
Glurg! Yes, lord!
Faster! For the lord!
As ti ticked, Lucien checked the spider dungeon, sweat sliding down his forehead.
[Durability: 60/100]
[Energy: 90/100]
[Number of spiders: 200]
Durability was lower than the sli dungeon, the number of spiders were also too little—
The spider dungeon had to be lethal, stopping most of the intruders from entering the main dungeon.
But it’s better if the spiders didn’t clash with the hunters head on.
Ambush, sneak attacks and traps....
Lucien kneaded his temple for several minutes before he spoke, his voice echoing in the spider dungeon.
"Venomous spiders. Coat venom on the webs, all of them."
Green liquid slowly coated the large spider web hanging above the chasm.
"Gatekeepers. Make webs on the ceiling, like a net. Twist so to look like ropes."
"Kiikk!"
Move, move faster! For his majesty!
The spiders imdiately moved, wasting no ti, their figures skittering in the dungeon.
Thin webs slowly stretched down from the ceiling, fluttering silently.
Okay, perfect.
For plan B, it had to wait until the raid started.
And the last hidden card....
Lucien looked at the weakened yet still alive thumpers in the chasm, his lips curled up.
At the sa ti, the system popped up.
DING! [You may apply one buff to the spider dungeon’s natives]
[ 10% regeneration]
[ 10% agility]
Regeneration sounded good, but only 10% wouldn’t help much.
The spiders needed to be faster to execute the plan.
DING! [The spider dungeon’s natives had been blessed with
10% agility]
The spiders moving around felt a blue aura descending into their bodies and their movents sped up, their legs turning into a blur.
[Skill casting countdown: 00:20:00]
Lucien confird that the buff worked and moved to the last dungeon— his house.
[Durability: 40/100]
[Energy: 2%]
[Number of occupants: 3]
The house— there’s no way it could remain like this!
But 40 durability points....ugh, there’s no other way.
Lucien shed tears as he twisted the interior of the house like playing with a dough, emptying the entire house of all the furniture.
Swish.
A huge hall the size of his hall appeared with two energy array symbols carved on the tiles.
Lucien didn’t stop.
He dragged the fog around his house and let it fill the house, turning into a dim, hazy hall.
Now this looks more like a dungeon boss chamber!
[Durability: 30/100]
The number still increased bit by bit, so Lucien sighed in relief.
Okay, just one last thing.
Lucien looked at the three scattered crystals and moved them to the center of the hall.
The mont Lucien placed the purple crystal in the air—
Throb. Throb.
The purple crystal pulsed like a heart.
Shaa...
The smaller blue and green crystals rotated around it, the energies intertwined delicately.
Sensing the crystals placed properly, the system popped up.
DING! [The main dungeon’s occupants had received
10% regeneration buff]
[During the raid, the dungeon design can only be changed once.]
[Small structure change and commands are eligible.]
[Do you want to start the raid?]
Lucien felt that it was enough, so he nodded and the system’s panel flickered.
DING! [Please choose the location of the gate!]
A map of the entire Frontier District appeared but all of them were grayed out with only two places lighting up.
[Civil City]
[Grindhall City]
The only two places he personally visited after awakening.
Lucien didn’t even need to think and imdiately clicked the map.
DING! [You have chosen a place! Please place the gate in a specific location!]
Lucien’s fingers hovered around the city and finally chose a place he deed the most suitable to invite hunters.
Here!
Shingggg.
The system flickered and a throne appeared right behind the crystals.
Lucien’s figure was instantly teleported to the throne.
At the sa ti, Lurenzo, who was at the yard, was teleported straight into the throne room, right behind Lucien.
The sleeping Mumu popped up out of thin air, landing on Lurenzo’s arms.
Lurenzo’s eyes blurred, his vision blocked by the hazy mist but when he saw the brightly glowing crystals at the center— he shrieked.
"! Dungeon cores?!"
Wait. The strange mist, the throne, the crystals—
"Is this a...dungeon boss’s final chamber or sothing??"
But Lucien just smiled mysteriously and pressed a finger to his lips.
"Ssshhh. We have guests."
"What— "
Lucien’s inner soul peeked out worriedly but outside, he smiled coldly.
"Let’s welco them properly."
DING! [The gate is opening in 3...2....1...]
WOONGGGG.
