"What was that sudden explosion?" Griffin asked Alucard who was equally shocked as he was.
The have seen nurous explosions during all the years they had lived for. But at best those explosions were able to distract the monsters and not harm them. It was the first ti they had witnessed a type of modern weaponry that was able to annihilate monsters.
Ashton glanced at them briefly, taking in all of their reactions to analyse how were they reacting to his weapon. So far, all of them were surprised and intrigued. It was clear they wanted to know more about it, however, Ashton wasn't going to give them such an opportunity for free.
'Good, good, take in the feeling of domination. Give in to that feeling so that I can empty your pockets without trouble.' Ashton thought and turned towards Alucard, "Your highness, I'll be heading inside the portal and try to stop more of these freaks from coming out. Please join when things calm down here a bit."
With that being said, Ashton rushed towards the portal. The path wasn't easy as it seed, the explosion of the hand cannon had gathered the attention of the nearby trolls. All of them were rushing towards him, wanting to kill him before he could step a foot to the other side.
However, they fell right into Ashton's trap. He had no intention of fighting or killing the creatures just yet. Instead, he wanted to lure them inside the portal so that he could feast on at least one of them. After all, the healing factor they had looked too tasty for him to pass it up.
'Co on, get inside already...'
As soon as Ashton was inside the portal, he turned around imdiately. A mont later one of the trolls showed up and swung his club at Ashton.
The troll had seen how Ashton took care of his kin, and thus swung the club a bit higher than necessary, thinking Ashton would jump up and try to rip his spinal cord just like before.
But to the troll's surprise, Ashton ducked below and kicked his kneecaps. The pain was imnse as the troll fell to his knees. However, the pain soon subsided as the healing factor soon kicked in. But Ashton was quicker. Before the Troll could get back to its feet, Ashton had already dug his teeth in it.

'Whoa, I never thought upgrading [Skill Absorption] would lead to the creation of new skills like this...' Ashton was surprised by how absurdly powerful the upgraded skill was, 'I was wrong for bashing the skill after reading its description.'
Ashton didn't dilly-dally around the entrance for long, as more monsters were certain to co through. He would put his [Regeneration] skill to test later, but first, he needed to know what was the deal with this instance Dungeon.
While Ashton had been to many dungeons, it was his first ti being inside sothing like this. Just by looking at it, he knew the cave he was in was full of mana.
He could feel the mana floating around him. He wanted to discover what was causing it, but the mont he took a step, the scenery changed imdiately. He was no longer standing in a cave but in an open field.
"What the hell is going on here?"
He turned around and his back was still facing the 'Cave', but the scenery right in front of him was sothing entirely different, yet weirdly enough, they seed to coexist. But then it clicked to him.
Maybe the dungeon was divided into two parts to keep certain entities separated. For example, the trolls were supposed to keep to the 'cave' which would explain why were they able to get out of the portal, even though it had just appeared.
While the 'field' part of the dungeon was supposed to keep the 'actual' dungeon monsters inside till it was ti for the outbreak. In other words, there were two separate dungeons hidden inside a single one.
"Portal inside a portal? This shit is gonna drive mad one of these days."
[You an you're not mad already?]
"Lucifer?"
Ashton mumbled as soon as he heard a voice inside his head. Even though the voice seed familiar to him, it clearly wasn't Lucifer's voice, despite him subconsciously mumbling his na.
[You wish... I'm much worse.]
"Astaroth?"
[... that bastard Lucifer already told you about ?]
"Pretty much. Also, get out of my body."
[You would like that, won't you? Sadly, I can't do that, If I could, you think I'll be sticking around a moronic bastard like you?]
"... why are you here talking to all of a sudden?"
[Now that is a question worth answering. It seems my dear Lucy-boy made a huge ss and couldn't keep helping you out. So to put you and off the radar, he gave up his admin privileges. Therefore, making the 'admin'.]
"Great... just great." Ashton sighed and carried on walking deeper into the fields, "It feels weird to feel warm even though there's no sun inside this place. But forget about it, I have lots of questions I need to ask you."
[Does it look like I'm interested in a questionnaire?]
"Does it look like I give a shit about what you think?"
Ashton could hear Astaroth chuckle as soon as he said those words.
[I like you kid, so I'll let you ask three questions for now. Go ahead, shoot.]
