Chapter 16 - Ch 16 : Boss Chicken

" Go!"

With the instruction from Ray, the two started their move.

Freed pounced at the incoming group of danger beasts with his speed while Ray threw his Natal weapons at them.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

Even though his Natal weapon was not as strong as other Natal's weapons, it was still considered a Natal weapon, so handling a danger beast in a low-level dungeon like this should be no problem.

Actually, the dungeon level could be detected from the energy outflow in the dungeon entrance, and Ray had long known that this is a low-level dungeon. Nonetheless, his current strength was a bit too weak for a higher-level dungeon, so he would only enter a low-level one.

The stone that Ray threw accurately hit each of their targets. Even so, their damage was still a bit too low to finish it in one strike. Ray summoned back the stone in his hand and used this opportunity to appraise the enemy's danger beast.

.

[ Danger beast - Mutated Chicken]

[ Lv: 3]

[ A bit stronger and faster than a normal chicken.]

.

What the heck.... It was just a chicken danger beast. And looking at their description, wasn't it a bit underwhelming.

Even though it said a bit stronger than faster than a normal chicken, wasn't it still a chicken?

All the tense mood that has been clogging up Ray's mind has instantly disappeared.

This Chicken danger beast couldn't even be called a proper danger beast, and they would only be foods for other danger beasts.

Ray, who has lost all his tension, came closer at the chicken danger beast, and when he looked closer to them, he noticed that the chicken looked pretty cute.

" Owww, so cute. It such a shame if you were to be a fried chicken, won't you, hehehehehe."

However, Ray's words were different from his action. While his face was showing a magnanimous smile. His hands have caught the chicken danger beasts and tied them up with the emergency rope in his backpack.

" Hehe, come to me, my fried chicken!"

.....

Time soon passed, and Ray and Freed were eventually done dealing with all the Chicken danger beast.

" Aooo!"

" Good job Freed, I'll make sure you will get the best fried-chicken tonight!"

Ray smiled and pat Freed in his head. Their hunting session just now had given them about 50 chicken danger beasts which 10 of them Ray had caught alive, and about 500 amounts of experience.

Now he only needed to find the boss, and this dungeon will be solved by Ray.

However, Ray was currently in a bit of a predicament. He looked at the chickens in front of him and had no idea how to brought them back.

[ DING!!! The host could store the chicken meat in the storage room, while for the chicken that the host has caught alive, the host could transfer them into your dungeon by paying 1 DM Currency for each chicken. Do you want to proceed? Y/N]

' Yes."

Ray didn't put much thought, and the pile of chicken in front of him instantly vanished.

' Nice, now the only trouble left is to find the boss monster.'

Ray and Freed were about to continue their exploration. However, just when they took a few steps away from their previous location, they heard.

" I surrender! Please spare me o great lord!"

A voice came from behind Ray, and when they looked for the source of the voice, they found a plump white chicken was kneeling down for them.

.

[ Danger beast - Mutated Boss Chicken]

[ Lv: 3]

[ A bit stronger and faster than a normal chicken. A lot more intelligence than normal chicken.]

.

This... why was the boss monster suddenly come and kneel down to them.

This strange event had made Ray and Freed silent in confusion.

However, to the Boss Chicken, this silence made him terrified. He was super afraid that the two monsters in front of him would ignore his pleaded and chose to kill him as they do to his brethren.

" O Great Lord, This humble servant pledge loyalty to you. Please take my brethren and me under your wing, and we promise we will be your most loyal servant."

Eh.... Ray's brain wasn't able to cope with the situation anymore. Why did the first dungeon exploration he went after being a proper awakener so strange? He had been awakened for about 2 years and had gone through many low-level dungeons, but this was the first time he saw a danger beast obediently surrender to an awakener.

Smoke started to come from Ray's mind. Luckily, the system was there to save the day.

[ DING!!! It was detected that the leader of a group of danger beasts had pledged loyalty to the host. Do you wish to take them as your underling? Y/N]

Ray was still unable to really understand what was currently going on. But he somehow managed to get that this Chicken wished to work for him, and seeing that his dungeon was currently lacking in manpower, Ray quickly accepted the system proposal.

' Yes.'

*ZIIINGG*

Soon a bright light covered Ray and the Boss-chicken, but different from the contract with Freed. This contract was a master-servant contract, with Ray as the master and the boss-chicken as the servant.

[ DING!!! You have made a contract with the boss chicken.]

[ DING!!! The Boss-Monster fo the dungeon has sworn allegiance to you, automatically clearing the dungeon.]

[ DING!!! The dungeon has been cleared for the first time, the reward will be issued.]

A system panel about clearing the dungeon appeared in front of Ray, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

From what he had read online, the dungeon would not disappear after being cleared. However, only the first clear of the dungeon will give a special reward.

With that, a portal emerged before them, and transferred Ray, Freed and the boss-chicken into the room where the dungeon-core was held.
