"I'm sure nothing weird will happen here."
"Humph, just let him be. That kid is in a rebellious state now, but make sure if something does happen, give me a call right away."
"Got it!"
Outside the entrance of a dungeon, several Mahkota's group awakeners were standing by.
In fact, they were brought here to help the heir clean the Dungeon. But the heir suddenly made a request and told them that he wanted to clear the Dungeon all by himself.
At first, the leader wanted to reject, but after consulting the current patriarch, he eventually let the heir act as he wanted.
The decision has been made, and now they could only wait for the heir to clear the Dungeon all by himself while hoping that nothing bad would happen to the heir.
Even if it was the patriarch's words, the leader wasn't sure that they could avoid some punishment in the case anything were to happen to the heir.
The lunch hour had flown by some time ago, but well, he'd been waiting with bated breaths for The heir's return and completely forgot to fill up in the meantime.
The thing was, he couldn't know what was going inside the Dungeon and must be ready with every change that happened. Therefore, he couldn't leave his position to buy something to eat.
The leader continuously checked his watch, and now it was about forty minutes from the time the heir entered the Dungeon. He was still thinking about the chance of the heir clearing the dungeon solo, but then….
Ring….
"Eii! what's going on? Are there some changes in the Dungeon?!"
When he took a look at the phone's screen, his underling's name showed up. A cold sweat passed through his forehead as he thought there might be a disturbance in the Dungeon's entrance.
[Sukma]
" Leader, that's not it….."
"What do you mean, that's not it?? If you're calling me over nothing, I will go there and teach you the real meaning of Sukma!"
" No, no, please calm down, leader!! It is not nothing, The heir, he has come out of the Dungeon already!"
Just like a paused frame of a movie, The leader's hand froze in mid-air. The phone had almost fallen out of his hand, but fortunately, his reflex was fast enough to catch the phone.
"What did you say??"
"Just now, The heir came out from the Gate, Leader! And to make it more surprising, there was no indication of injury at his body!"
Indeed, he didn't hear that wrong.
The leader hurriedly checked his watch.
"But, it hasn't even been 40 minutes yet, and to make it worse, no trace of injury! Did he just enter the Dungeon and decide to give up without even doing anything? We are not here for a picnic!"
The leader had a trace of anger in his tone. If that was the case, then the heir was truly an ungrateful bastard.
But the next word from his underling immediately refreshed his view toward the heir.
"No, leader. The Gate is shaking right now. It has been a bit subtle, but there was an indication the heir had completed the boss room."
What nonsense was this?!
Even if the heir had an S-Rank skill and the Dungeon was only a level 30 dungeon, there was no way that someone could solo one of these in less than 30 minutes!!
"Check again!! I want all the information about this exploration on my table right now!"
Along with that words, the leader closed the call.
There was a saying that someone wouldn't have been able to believe something without witnessing it right with their own eyes.
The leader, who was also a level 30 something awakener, didn't waste any more time and quickly dashed in the direction of the Dungeon entrance.
Even though he was standing at the entrance of the Dungeon, the place where the leader waited before was actually only the periphery of the dungeon entrance.
The Dungeon entrance had somehow interfered with the phone signal, and the leader couldn't get too close to the Dungeon entrance if he was on the call with the patriarch.
A few minutes later, the leader arrived right at the entrance, and he saw the heir was chatting with some other awakeners.
He tried to rub his eyes a few times, but there was no indication of this being fake, and the leader could only gulp his saliva.
A level 30 awakener who could solo a level 30 Dungeon under 40 minutes.. He might have witnessed the born of a peak figure in this world.
The leader could only dazedly stare at the empty air.
Clearing a level 30 dungeon in 40 minutes when normally, the top fifty awakeners would need one hour to do so?
Using only the objective information available to make his educated guess, then at the bare minimum….
"The heir has the potential to challenge top ten awakeners in this world."
The leader couldn't help but be excited at this thought.
Forget the little witch whose identity was currently on the top of the mystery ranking with Morningwood master. The rest of the top ten rankings were dominated by the big powers in this world, and this might be the chance for their country to rise.
. . . . . .
Outside the Dungeon entrance..
The heir might have chatted with the other awakeners from Mahkota's group. But truthfully, his thought had never been here.
' If it is replaced by that man, could he clear this Dungeon in less than thirty minutes?'
All he could think of right now was that figure in the chicken mask.
The time when they battled together in the special Dungeon had left a deep impression in the Mahkota's heir mind, and he had always treated that chicken mask as his rival.
' If I could, I want to battle you right here right now to test the gap between us.'
Sadly, it was just a hope from the side of the Mahkota's heir.
Since that day, Mahkota's heir had never heard about the chicken mask anymore, and even after spending some time looking for the existence of the chicken mask, he had never found anything.
The Mahkota's heir was still deep inside his own world when suddenly an awakener next to him asked him a question.
" Mr. heir, how about you try playing in the PvP section? Just using your current power as a base, I don't think that it would be hard for you to enter the top fifty."
" Hmmm?"
He looked to his side and found that the awakener who had just asked him the question was a young pretty girl awakener.
If it was before, the heir would definitely be happy to show off in front of her. But now, all the heir could think about was the chicken mask, and he didn't want to be implicated just by someone's else request.
The heir was still thinking about a reason to reject when he suddenly thought of something.
' Wait, maybe I could meet him in the PvP battle!'
Even though the chance was pretty low, the heir was someone that believed in fate.
He smiled in the direction of the awakener girl and nodded.
" That isn't really the case, but I will be trying my best. Do you want to see me battle?"
With the charm of the heir, the girl felt like she was watching a spring breeze. Her heart beated very fast, and she was trying her best not to faint.
She was about to say something to the heir, but she was beaten by the other awakeners around her.
" Really? Can we watch to sir?"
" Please, I am a big fan of yours!"
The moment the invitation was sent, everyone's focus was immediately shifted to the Mahkota's heir. The fact that he could beat a level 30 dungeon under forty minutes had caused a commotion, and they couldn't help but want to see the Mahkota's heir in action.
The Mahkota's heir didn't answer and just quickly sent an invitation to everyone around him.
It was a feature of the PvP battle where the person could invite anyone to watch like a live streaming platform.
After he sent the invitation, the Mahkota's heir didn't wait anymore and proceeded to enter the PvP battle waiting room.
He didn't really care whether the guys would accept the invitation or not, he just wanted to keep a good image, and it was enough.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened it once again, the heir had arrived in an empty battle arena.
[ DING!!! You have entered the PvP system. Please wait for a while to be matched.]
It was the heir's first time entering the PvP match, but different from everyone else, he didn't feel nervous at all.
[ DING!!! The matching has been completed.]
[ Mahkota's heir, record: 0 lose, 0 wins.]
[ Chicken Ruler, record: 0 lose, 3 wins.]
' Is it really him?'
Looking at the announcement, some expectancy rose in Mahkota's heir's heart.
One hundred percent win percentage and the name with chicken on it, his opponent right now clearly fit the heir's imagination about the chicken mask.
A bright light appeared, signifying that his opponent had also reached the battle arena.
When the bright light disappeared, a figure was revealed in front of Mahkota's heir.
It was a man with a chicken mask, and even though it was different from his memory. The resemblance was there.
' Did he change his mask? I feel like the old one was better.'
The thought surfaced in Mahkota's heir head, but he quickly shook of that thought.
' No matter what, my goal is to win, and if I could, recruit him to Mahkota group.'
