“Guys!” Victor called out to the group of adventurers before him.
The adventurers turned casually, seeing that their group was complete. They thought maybe soone else might have entered the dungeon with them. To their surprise, however, it was a monster.
“Huh? Who is t… Monster!”
“What? Ahh! Monster! Kill it!”
..
‘These guys are just too terrible.’ Victor thought as he shook his head. The ti wasted in talking could have been used to do sothing better, like attacking or even running away.
Victor had thought about it, and since he could handle them easily, and he needed the most sufficient way to extract information from them, he decided to not kill them for now.
Without giving room for the amateur adventurers to show him anymore grieving nonsense, he made his move.
“It’s…” One of the adventurers was about to say sothing when Victor appeared before him. The next ti his eyes closed, he had passed out.
In a similar fashion, he knocked out the other adventurers one after the other in quick secession. He was too fast for even the level 5 swordsman amongst them to react to his movents on ti. The level 5 was the last to get knocked out, but he was also the one with shaky legs that looked like broom sticks on a generator.
Victor was a bit of a cautious type, maybe too cautious. He almost wouldn’t attempt sothing if he knew he wasn’t strong enough. Even, he sotis would make sure that he could totally obliterate an opponent before he faced against them in battle.
Earlier, just to be on the safer side, Victor boosted so of his stats to make sure that he cleared any room for mistakes..

..
After knocking the adventurers out, Victor took them to another part of the dungeon, where the adventurers wouldn’t recognise straight away even though they had raided the dungeon before. He couldn’t do the job alone, so he used two zombies to bring the remaining three while he carried two.
Using the Corpse manipulation skill caused him one mana point for every corpse. Though, after the initial cost of activating the skill, there is no extra cost. He checked with the system to see how much stat points were needed to upgrade his level 1 Corpse Manipulation into level two, and to his surprise, he needed just one stat point to increase it to level two, which he did without a second thought.
“This is good enough.” Victor said as he looked at the skill’s description.

“Hmm.” Victor said as he thought about sothing crucial.
Victor had succeeded in kidnapping the adventurers, but he didn’t have a way to restrict their movent. He didn’t have ropes or binding spells to hold them in place, he had only one option left. “This is the only way.” He said as.
The place he brought the adventurers was a spot that monsters didn’t roam in, or bother checking. It was a dead end at the opposite side of the dungeon to the entrance, where he wouldn’t be bothered by monsters trying to attack the adventurers while he was siphoning precious information.
He left them there with the two zombies he had under his control and moved out of that area. His goal was to find more. It didn’t take any ti at all, as zombies were the most common monsters in this dungeon. He was back in no ti, with three other zombies following close behind him.
“This should be ok, right? I don’t think so. But they wouldn’t try anything funny since they know my strength. I’m sure.” Victor said, as he ordered the five zombies to surround the adventures. He put them against a wall, so he and the zombies ford a semicircle around that wall.
“Hey. All of you, wake up…” ‘Heh..’ Seed like getting them to wake you was even more troubleso that putting them to sleep.
After a while of trying, Victor managed to wake up all five of the adventurers, whose faces remained terrorized as they looked at him from below. Victor had always wondered what it felt like to look down on people. Now he knew. And although he always hated the feeling whenever it was done to him, he still felt quite comfortable doing it himself.
‘This world. It’s a place where we pay back the wrong done to use to other people.’ Victor thought, as he saw the sorry expressions on the adventurers’ faces.
“Alright. Now I’m going to be straightforward. I need information, which ans. I need answers, good answers. If I don’t get answers, I can’t guarantee your lives. If you give answers, I let you go.” said victor, as he stared at the five before him, pupils gleaming with a bitter shade of red, as it faintly glowed at them.
They all stared for a while without saying a single word, just faint murmuring sound escaping the lips of so. The group had four boys and a girl. They all seed to be in their middle or late twenties at most, but were still extrely weak.
“No-No one says anything.. We won’t give you what you want, you monster. You caught us off guard last ti, don’t think you’ll be lucky twice. One of the level 2s said. Victor applauded his confidence to oppose such odds in his mind, but…
“Huh?” Victor grumbled. He could not believe his ears.
‘Does this guy really think that all of his team mbers being here is a joke? Well, thank you anyway..’
“Scapegoat number 1.” He said in a passive manner, as he walked towards him casually.
The young man backed himself against the wall imdiately and drew his daggers. ‘An assassin.’ Victor noted. The next second, the young man’s dagger was driven all the way in, into his cranium, like so Halloween pumpkin. Blood dripped from his head, and onto his shirt, slowly, as his body slouched down the rocky dungeon wall.
Without wasting much ti, and after confirming the ssage he had just sent to the others, Victor returned to his initial position in front of them.
“Will you cooperate?” He asked. The remaining adventurers shook their heads franticly, in confirmation.
“Good. Now this is how it’s going to work. I’ll ask you four questions, and anybody with the most knowledge concerning that question will speak for the group. If the answer is too shallow and not enough, there will be consequences, so be wise.”
“Now, shall we get started?”
