The more that I thought about, the more likely that I thought that this was the case.
After all, it wouldn't take this long just to hand over so simple information and this was a trial that had a ti limit.
But the most important thing…it seed like he was deliberately stalling with how much he was talking.
Perhaps there was sothing special about the final boss of the dungeon?
Perhaps it required ti to be stalled to beco stronger?
So the more ti that Diablo wasted, the stronger the dragon would beco?
There was an ill feeling of premonition that filled my heart the mont that I had this thought.
I decided to trust my instincts and suddenly turned around to say, "If you're not going to give us the information that you're supposed to, then I guess there's no reason to stick around any longer."
The mont that I said this, there was a silence that lingered in the air.
Diablo, who had been talking the entire ti, finally fell silent.
The way that he looked at , I could tell that he was shocked by what I said even though I couldn't see his face.
But he quickly recovered as he turned to Tammy and continued to talk.
However, that didn't last long since he found that Tammy had also turned around to leave.
This ti, he couldn't remain still as he said, "Wait, don't you want the information on the dungeon boss? If you leave now, there's no chance to get this."
Tammy didn't respond at all as she just looked at , as if she was expecting sothing from .
So with a sigh, I said, "We would like this information, but when will you give it? Instead of wasting ti here, isn't it better to go and find more beasts to take down?"
At first, everyone looked at with confused looks.
But the mont that they heard this, they slowly began to understand what I was implying and started following as I walked away.
In an awkward voice, Diablo said, "Isn't it just taking so ti to talk? Can't you consider the price of making a friend?"
I turned back around and said, "I make friends with people that I want to make friends with. For soone as suspicious as you, I would rather not. Who knows if by the ti that I get there, there will be a trap waiting for ?"
After a mont of silence, Diablo suddenly burst out in laughter.
Instead of being offended as one might expect, he just laughed it all off before saying, "You got , I was indeed told to stall for whoever got the Inferno Gem. It is as you expected, there is a hidden chanism to this dungeon."
As soon as he said this, everyone imdiately raised their guards as if they were prepared to fight.
However, I just raised my hand to stop them before turning to Diablo to say, "So why reveal that now?"
Diablo gave a shrug as he said, "Since you already know, is there a reason for to hide it anymore? Not to ntion, there's a prize for discovering this, don't you know?"
I gave a slow nod without saying anything as I waited for Diablo's next words.
Seeing this, he said in a serious voice, "As you expected, there is a special thing about this dungeon, but I can't tell you too much. All I can say is that if you want to take down the dungeon boss, do it as soon as possible."
As I had expected, it seed that the dungeon boss beca stronger over ti.
If I had to guess what it was, there was sothing that nurtured the dungeon boss as ti passed.
It might be a young dragon now, but there was no telling when it would grow up to beco a proper dragon.
Once it beca an actual dragon, then all of us fighting together might not be enough to take it down.
So before that happened we needed to take down the dungeon boss.
But I couldn't help thinking of another thing after learning of this.
The dungeon boss beca stronger over ti and calculating the ti since we had co into the dungeon, twelve hours had already passed.
The amount of ti that we had in total was twenty four hours.
Assuming that the dragon reached its peak before the ti ended, whether it was an hour or two before this stage ended, the dragon should already be halfway matured.
At this point, it might even have reached A Rank or even the peak of the A Rank…
So it might already be sothing that we couldn't take down.
Diablo could see the look that was on my face and as if he could tell what I was thinking, he said, "Whether you go or not, it's your choice. However…" At this, he reached his hand up and pointed at the Inferno Orb that Tammy was still holding, "If you want a chance at victory, then you should bring this orb along."
I raised a brow as I looked at him, as if I was asking him what he ant.
However, Diablo just spread his hands and shook his head to say, "That's all I'm allowed to say." Then he looked back at to say, "That's your reward for seeing through my attempts to stall. You won't get anything else out of ."
But after his voice fell, he also threw sothing at . I looked down to see that it was a folded piece of paper.
With that, he gave a nod to his group and then all of them suddenly disappeared.
We didn't know how they disappeared, but all I could think was as expected of people on the administrator team. They really were far more powerful than we were.

Once they disappeared, everyone looked at as a silence hung in the air.
I opened up the folded piece of paper to find that it was a map.
I just ignored all this as a look of deep thought appeared on my face.
After a long ti, I finally said, "Well, what do you think about this? Should we go for it?"
