- In the next room -
[ Dear Challenger, Please answer the question correctly and honestly to proceed.]
[ Second question, Sarangaheyo?]
" Gomawoyo!"
After the incident in the first room, the man was braver than ever.
This also might be related to the nature of humans. They would be panicking so much during the first time, but the next time after that would be so much easier.
The other four guys were looking at him with an "Are you an idiot?" expression. But the man himself was very calm.
He had nothing to lose if he answered wrong, and at most. He would just be knocked out of the Dungeon.
After some moment of silence, the face appeared once again and revealed the answer.
[ DING!!! Correct answer. Please continue to proceed forward.]
The man laughed from the deep of his heart, but his four other comrades were now looking at him with a hideous expression.
What kind of monster is this to be able to find the true answer of the quizzes within a count of seconds.
Now they had no more questions for this guy. Just answering the first two correctly has already been worth their respect, and they definitely wouldn't blame him even if he was to answer wrongly in the next room.
They proceeded to the next room, and without any further due, the man stepped on the round platform once more time.
Two times getting the correct answer had boosted his confidence, and he was ready to get the third question right.
[ Dear Challenger, Please answer the question correctly and honestly to proceed.]
[For the third question, please see the following equation and find the appropriate value of a.]
Immediately, a horrendous amount of expression appeared on the wall.
Ray had copied this question from one of the hardest SAT Questions ever.
The man's face now had a very dumbfounded look.
' Fuck!!!!'
Why did the third question didn't follow the pattern of the first and second questions he thought.
He looked at his surrounding, trying to find an answer from his comrade, but all the other four guys were avoiding his gaze.
" ..... "
Fuck, is this how you wanna play? Then let this daddy solve this problem of yours!
The man knew that his comrade had decided to put this question on his hand, so he had no other choice but to start calculating the value of A.
He closed his eyes, and then..
" Zero, the value of A is zero!"
Yep, after spending some time thinking, the man had decided to give up.
Don't even think about solving this hard mathematic question. He doesn't even know what these symbols in the equation were.
The last time he studied math, all of it was numbers, so why does this equation have some letters on it? Is this an alien language?
The man was ready to be evicted from the Dungeon as he had no idea what the true answer was.
But then, something completely unexpected happened.
[ DING!!! Correct answer. Please continue to proceed forward.]
The face appeared and revealed that his answer was correct.
The man had successfully answered his question three times in a row, and even Ray, who was watching this scene from the monitor room, had disbelief all over his face.
The man was very happy that his answer was correct again. But suddenly, he had noticed something strange was happening around his body.
A golden light appeared and surrounded the man's body, and when the golden light eventually disappeared, a notification panel appeared in front of the five guys.
[ DING!!! Mugiwara had successfully answered all three questions correctly.]
[ Reward: Str +2]
When this notification came, everyone immediately envied the man Mugiwara.
It was a common consensus that stats points were very hard to get, and for this guy to get his Str enhanced by two points just by answering three questions, this guy's luck was definitely over the top.
Still, they knew that they could not blame him. If not for Mugiwara, they may not be able to pass these three questions room.
The three weird question room was over, and now the five lucky guys proceeded to enter the next room.
Different than the first three rooms where the inside was empty, the group immediately felt something was changing when they entered the fourth room.
The surrounding damp and dark atmosphere has gone, and instead, it was replaced by refreshing countryside feelings.
Their gazes shifted to the front, where they noticed a small farm was placed in front of them.
There were corns, a scarecrow, and some sunflowers.
If not for the fact that they could still see the dungeon wall next to them, the five lucky guys would definitely not believe that they were still inside the Dungeon.
" Guys, what should we do?"
One of the guys asked.
One thing that all of them understood was the more it does not look suspicious, the more dangerous it was.
The Dungeon was like that, and not a small amount of awakeners had fallen in the Dungeon because of something that looked completely unsuspicious.
" I don't know... how about we go together!?"
" I don't think that going together is a good idea, but.."
" No, I think we should all go together!"
A small internal conflict began to brew inside the group.
If the group was a real awakener group, such a conflict would obviously not happen.
But this group was composed of five cowards who decided to stick together just because they were afraid, and it was inevitable that some small skirmish of interest happened here.
" Okay, I'll go!"
In the end, the one that proposed himself to go was none other than the Mugiwara.
He himself thought that even if he was to fall now, the Str +2 have been enough for a reward for him.
He gulped his saliva, and even though there was some fear inside his heart, he steeled himself to go to the small farm.
Mugiwara's feet felt very heavy, but he still took the step anyway.
About twenty steps, and he arrived right in the middle of the small farm, but there was no sign that it was a trap.
Mugiwara had just sighed relief and was about to tell the others that everything was okay when he suddenly felt cold around his neck.
The scarecrow that he thought was just a decoration suddenly moved and had a chainsaw blade on its hand.
*Slash*
One slash and Mugiwara's head roll into the floor.
Luckily, it was not the real world, and his figure immediately disappeared after that.
Mugiwara might not feel that much of a terror because he was immediately killed after the scarecrow moved. But for the rest, the scarecrow was like a nightmare.
" Fuck, let's attack together!"
Under the panic, the four guys left came into a consensus.
They gathered all their energy in their hand and began casting their special moves.
" Fireball!"
" Thunderbolt!"
" Water slash!"
" Firebird!"
Four attacks came from their direction and were aimed at the direction of the scarecrow.
But things weren't that easy.
The scarecrow lifted the chainsaw blade on its hand once again and began to cut each and every attack.
One scarecrow and one chainsaw knife. If the Dungeon was a bit darker, they would definitely believe that they have entered a horror movie.
None of the attack hit as all of them was cut down by the scarecrow, and now the four guys were looking at each other with pure horror in their eyes.
They might not say anything, but deep down, they all reached the same conclusion.
' We are all fucked.'
. . . . . . .
In the meantime, Ray was watching everything in the dungeon core room.
The emergence of Mugiwara, who was able to solve all the questions, was really unexpected. But fortunately, things were still on hand, and the awakener would be stopped in the Small farm room.
In fact, Ray also had prepared some more surprises in the other room, but he wanted to save them for later if he could.
Information was very crucial, and this was definitely not the only Dungeon raid he would go through.
Ray was still thinking about the next direction of upgrade he should take when someone else entered the Dungeon Core room.
" It's too boring Ray, those weaklings wouldn't even go past the small farm room. I would rather stay here and watch the continuation of Soul Reaper."
In front of Ray, Freed was standing tall with a bored look on his face.
' This Freed... *Sigh* He is getting stronger with every day passed by, but why is he very lazy?'
Still, Ray could only shake his head helplessly. It was the fact that the five guys who entered the Dungeon Raid this time were all weakling, and none of them could defeat the scarecrow.
Even now, Ray was looking at the screen and saw the scarecrow massacring all of them one by one.
On was directly slashed into half. One was having all his bones broken by the scarecrow first before eventually having the chainsaw knife destroy his heart in one blow.
And for the two others....
*Sigh* They even peed their pants just by looking at the scarecrow.
If there was anything wrong, this would at most take another five minutes for all of them to be killed by the scarecrow.
" Well, you could watch the continuation of the soul reaper. By the way, do you know that Onego's true sword was actually.."
" Fuck, no spoiler bitch, I'm out of here!"
With that, Freed also left the dungeon core room, leaving Ray alone to wait for the dungeon raid to end.
