I, Zed, and Valeria led the group of thirty noble and wealthy students through the swirling portal into the mid-low level dungeon gate.
The air imdiately grew thick with an otherworldly pressure, and the ground beneath their feet shifted slightly, as if the dungeon itself was alive.
I scanned the surroundings, my instincts already on high alert. This wasn’t going to be an easy task, but I had been through worse.
"Stay close and follow my instructions," I called out, my voice calm but firm.
"Don’t wander off. We’re here to clear this gate and get you all the experience you need, not to babysit anyone."
Most of the students nodded, clearly aware of the seriousness of the situation.
However, so of the nobles, used to their wealth and privilege, seed uninterested in following orders.
They whispered among themselves, occasionally shooting glances at as if to challenge my authority.
Stupid.
Zed walked beside , muttering under his breath, "So of these guys are going to be a problem."
"I know," I replied quietly. "Let them do as what they want. If any cause any big problem we’ll deal with them if it cos to that. For now, focus." Our duty is guide them and keep these Nobel and wealthy family kids safe.
As we made our way deeper into the gate, I pointed out landmarks and warned them about potential dangers.
"Don’t touch anything unfamiliar. Keep your weapons ready. If sothing doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and alert imdiately."
But of course, not everyone was listening.
A particularly arrogant noble, nad Marvin, was lagging behind, carelessly fiddling with various bottles from his oversized satchel.
His family was known for their potion crafting, but judging by the disorganized manner in which he carried them, It was clear Marvin had little to no understanding of the potions’ actual effects.
He just grabbed bunch of potions for the exam.
I noticed it imdiately. "Hey, be careful with those "
Before I could finish, one of the bottles slipped from Marvin’s grasp, shattering against the rocky ground.
A sickly, pungent odor imdiately filled the air. My eyes widened as he recognized the scent.
"Berserk potion," I muttered, my tone darkening.
The reaction was instantaneous. All around them, the creatures lurking in the shadows of the dinsion began to stir.
Their eyes, once passive, now burned with a ferocious intensity. The berserk potion had done its job, sending every monster within range into a mindless rage.
Zed cursed under his breath. "We need to get out of here now."
I quickly turned to Zed and Valeria "Get the students back to the entrance. Protect them. I’ll deal with this."
Valeria hesitated for a mont, concern flashing across her face. "You can’t fight all of them alone."
"I’ll be fine," i said, already moving into position. "Just make sure they’re safe."
With a reluctant nod, Zed and Valeria began rounding up the students, ushering them toward the gate.
Most of the nobles were panicking now, realizing the gravity of their situation.
Marvin, pale-faced and shaking, muttered apologies under his breath, but I i had no ti to deal with him.
My focus was on the horde of enraged Shadow Creature monsters charging toward us.
I took a deep breath, centering myself. My mind sharpened, my instincts taking over.
This wasn’t the first ti I had been outnumbered, and it wouldn’t be the last.
The first wave of monsters ca crashing down like a tsunami, but I was ready.
With a swift motion, I unleashed a series of powerful attacks, cutting down the shadow creatures one after another.
My agility, bolstered by my recent stat allocations, allowed to dodge their berserk attacks with ease,
While my strength gave my strikes enough force to take them out in a single blow.
For what felt like hours, I fought relentlessly, the ground beneath littered littered with the anti-arcane stone of the creatures.
Each ti I thought the tide would let up, more appeared, driven mad by the lingering effects of the berserk potion.
My stamina was draining, but I pushed through, refusing to back down.
I couldn’t afford to leave the gate uncleared not with the students’ safety on the line.
The monsters seed endless, but my will was stronger.
At last, the final wave approached, led by the dinsion’s boss a towering, monstrous figure with glowing red eyes and dark, swirling energy radiating from its body.
I gripped his sword tightly, narrowing my gaze. This was the mont I had been waiting for.
The battle was fierce, with the boss’s berserk strength far surpassing anything I had faced so far.
But my experience and skill prevailed. I used my new agility to outmaneuver the beast, striking with precision at its weak points.
With a final, decisive blow, I brought the boss to its knees, its body disintegrating into shimring particles of light.
I stood over the remains of the boss, breathing heavily but victorious.
The notification from his system flashed before his eyes.
Ding!
~You have defeated the Dinsion Boss~
~Gained 5 levels. (Current Level: 65)~
~Gained 25 unallocated stat points.~
~Reward: One-Ti Use Egg Incubator (Hatches egg 1000x faster)~
~Rebirth is possible~
I took a mont to review my rewards, noting the new skill and the one-ti use incubator.
I smiled slightly. The incubator would co in handy for next next arcane pet, and Space Jump would give him the ability to move across short distances instantly an incredibly valuable skill in battle.
But there was no ti to rest. I looked around, the battlefield now silent and still.
The gate had been cleared, but there was still work to be done.
I made my way back to the entrance, where Zed and Valeria were waiting with the students.
When I arrived, the students were visibly shaken, but alive. Zed raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed.
"Looks like you had fun," Zed said, smirking.
I shrugged, wiping the sweat from my brow. "It’s done. Let’s get them out of here."
