"But lord Simon, I wasted so much of your Dungeon Points and so many traps are just being wasted. You must be disappointed in even though you made the head of the Dungeon Managent Departnt"
The Forest Spring Spirit hung her head down. It seed like she was concerned about him being disappointed in her.
"I am not disappointed in you, in fact, I believe I made the right choice. Who else other than you could co up with so many great ideas for the floors? True, you made so mistakes, but who among us doesn't? What important is that you learn from these mistakes and show that you can do better the next ti"…
"As for you Maya, you are in too hurry to achieve success. Wanting to bring results, you put the lives of your clansn and yourself in danger. You need to contemplate about that part. True that you have an absolute advantage in spying on others inside the dungeon. However, there is no guarantee that you won't be spotted by so enemy who possesses high tier skills or techniques we have no knowledge of"
"Getting too close could lead to your downfall, the gifts that you received from the dungeon aren't unparalleled, you need to keep that in mind. If you the leader of our reckon division show such haste and carelessness, it would affect your whole team and could lead to sothing disastrous. Keep in mind that you are responsible for the lives of your fellow clansn"
This little girl who was a few years older than Cecilia, beca the youngest team leader of the dungeon's reckon team thanks to her talent and gifts that she received from the dungeon.
However, it might have got into her head as she tried to involve herself and her teams in an even more dangerous mission like the one today. When Simon read her proposal, he imdiately shot her down. Today he summoned her here precisely to show her so of her mistakes.
"Lord Simon, I'm sorry please don't be angry"
That said, she was still a young girl who was still learning the ways of the world. Perhaps he was too harsh on her, he could see her figure trembling and teardrops accumulating in the corner of her eyes.
Sighing to himself, he still steeled his heart. The other party needed to hear this.
"Silly girl, I might be angry but it is because I don't want to see anything untoward happen to you or anyone from the Forest Spring Spirit Clan. The mont you all beca my subordinate, your life and death belongs to . I won't forgive any one of you dying on ".
For a mont, the mood in the hall beca a little downtrodden and emotional at the sa ti with everyone reflecting on their mistakes.
"Sigh… you have good subordinates with you"
Seeing this, Pri couldn't help but comnt. If one didn't care for their subordinates, they wouldn't have been harsh on them or accepted their mistakes or still allowed them to keep their position.
Likewise, if the others weren't fully dedicated to him, they wouldn't have put in all of their efforts or felt so devastated by their failures. The feelings here were mutual, a bond not just anyone could build.
Simon simply smiled and clapped to disperse this dreary atmosphere.
"Cheer up everyone, it not like it's the end of the dungeon. There are still many floors we need to observe and make note of. The enemies might be strong; however, we are prepared to receive them" Saying that, he turned towards Pri and comnted—
"Your invention ca at just the right ti. I need to thank you for it"…
Pri shone with a blue light, seemingly feeling shy.
"Well, the Resonancer was sothing that I have been working on for a long ti. If I couldn't even deliver what I said, I wouldn't be calling myself a great inventor. By the way, the ones I gave you are still the demo version and are very fragile. If the enemies get to their location they can easily destroy it"…
"Don't worry about it, I have hidden in places no one would even think about even searching".
Just as the seven kings hypothesised, the False environnt on the 85th floor was a trick that he used. Well more than a trick, it was a machine invented by Pri which created that kind of effect.
Of course, it was no re illusion or deception. The machine nad Resonancer perfectly replicated one of the features of the dungeon which only unlocks when the dungeon reaches the status of [A] tier high ranking dungeon.
Thus allowing dungeon Laplace to be able to create a feature like the False Environnt even without needing to rise to the status if [A] ranking dungeon.
The sky on the 85th floor was a perfect example of that. Not only did it look like the sky outside, with its own day and night circle, sun-moon, it had all the features that a false environnt had.
For example, the heat from the sun during the day was prickling enough to hurt one's skin and cause the entire atmosphere on the floor to be like a gigantic oven. In the night, it got freakishly cold, mimicking a real desert. Not only that, the effect also spreads through the environnt inducing change in the native flora and fauna.
As could be seen from the scene on the 85th floor, the place was vastly different than all the other desert floors of the dungeon which are only just called desert in na.
"Well, it's good that you were able to put it to use so soon. Now I can know what other tweaking it would need. Besides, I also plan on working with Coleus here. So of his plans intrigued "…
Simon arched his brows in surprise "Do you an, you want to create more of those… ?".
Before he could complete his sentence, his eyes were drawn towards one of the windows hovering in front of him. An incredible scene had occurred while they were all distracted.
This scene that Simon and the others had their eyes on, did not depict the Seven Kings but rather a different place.
.
.
85th floor, inside the ruins, an eerie stillness pervaded the place. Whether it be Gil-Garna, Yverza or Shasurna, they all looked in front of them with surprise evident in their eyes.
At this mont, the entire hall was in chaos with dust and and debris covering the place. Pillars crumbled, walls broken and nurous large depressions ford on the ground.
At the centre of the large depression was Yverza who was quietly holding one off his arms without speaking or moving from his place.
"Who would have thought that the Tomb Tyrant would have such a powerful skill hidden" Gil-Garna comnted from the distance looking at the scene.
Shasurna from the side nodded his head, his face containing an equal amount of surprise. A few minutes earlier… as they saw, the crypt wight hide into his coffin, they were all surprised for a second before erupting out in a loud burst of laughter.
"Haha, Yverza it looks like you have tornted the poor fellow too much for it to go into hiding in its shell. You won't get a fight from it like that. What are you going to do?" Gil-Garna questioned in a spiteful manner, taking joy in the other party's distress.
At this mont, the two of them were feeling relieved in the fact that they weren't the ones who were fighting with the crypt wight or else given its shaful behaviour of hiding, they would be shad too.
After all, for warring races like them a battle was a sacred thing and tarnishing its glory was tantamount to shaming themselves. As such, whenever they initiated a battle, they never retreated until one of them remained.
For the Ivory Terraqyake Rhino's opponent to suddenly go into hiding like that, it brought sha on itself and on him.
"You Bastard!!"
Naturally, Yverza would be enraged. He had initiated this battle on his own accord thinking that he would be able to enjoy himself before the final fight with the queen of the harpies and the demon.
Never would he have known that his opponent would show such a disrespectful behaviour and bring dishonour to him.
BANG… He stomped his foot and charged in rage. However, just as he took a few steps, he noticed that the coffin inside which his opponent was, started acting strangely. A vast amount of bluish black smoke realised out of the tiny openings of its lid and spread through the entire hall in the blink of an eye.
The light dimd and the torches in the walls waned as if being snuffed by an unknown entity. Seeing this change, Yverza furrowed his brows. For so reason, he felt like his opponent didn't just hide away from him but instead was preparing for sothing.
What it was, he did not know, but looking at the bluish black smoke coming off from the coffin, he knew that sothing was up. Sothing that would give him more excitent than what he bargained for.
It could be said that it was a hunch of a warrior who has fought nurous battles so far.
"Interesting, so you were not just running away huh? Bring it on, I will take on everything" Yverza gave an excited grin.
As if responding to his wishes, a deep guttural roar ca from inside the coffin. The next second, the bluish balck smoke emanating from the coffin beca stronger.
