Chapter 281 Deceived?

Elena did not know what to say. She was just staring at Damian, wondering who he was and why he was so interested in knowing what their reunion was about.

"What do you know about the dungeon?" she said.

Damian was confident he was one of the people who had explored the dungeon the most — seeing how he had gone to the last floor back then — but he looked at her and said, "Just the basics, like everyone else. Why? Was your reunion about the dungeon?"

She bit her lips, uncertain if she would tell him or not.

"Look, you will find out about this in no time, but there's a big problem happening to all of us. You know that almost everyone is on this dungeon floor, right? The tenth level."

That was an information everyone knew. Most of the humans that were native to the dungeon were on the tenth level, and when Earth suddenly froze and everyone had to flee to the dungeon, the tenth floor became the home to the humans from Earth too.

After the 11th floor and onward, one could not say there was civilization there. Maybe a few tribes, and scattered cities, but the place was too dangerous, so the number of humanoid races like humans, elves, orcs, or rational alike were few.

"Yes, I do. Can you just spill what is happening? I don't have all the time in the world," Damian said, coldly staring at Elena.

"Something happened on the portals. All the portals that go to the 11th floor, at least all the portals we know about, don't go to the 11th floor anymore, but rather to a different one no one knows about. Apparently, someone went there and managed to talk to other humans, which are common, and for them, they have no idea what a dungeon floor is."

When Elena said that, the first thing that came to Damian's mind was that dungeon floor he went to, the one he met the giants. Based on what he knew, it was like a new world there with all kinds of races, kingdoms, etc. They didn't move around going from floor to floor. They remained there, and lived, just like humans did on Earth.

'Is it that level or another one?' pondered Damian.

It could be the same level, yes, but it could also be another one, either way, the phenomenon was pretty interesting and strange. Why did the portals stop working?

Elena awkwardly laughed, "I know this is not a request but an order, so yes, you can meet him."

Damian was pleased to hear that, "At least you know your place. Now, when can we meet this friend of yours?"

"He is not in Black Crow city but in another one. It will take us a while to get there. Me and everyone else you saw in the alley are going there tomorrow."

"So we are all going together tomorrow. How does it sound?"

Elena knew she had no choice.

Damian spent the night in Elena's house, making sure she did not try anything funny. After a while, he stopped using his Telekinesis and let her do whatever she wanted. She was smart enough not to try to harm him with sneak attacks.

In fact, the more they talked, the more Damian saw she was not a bad person, and she also got more used to Damian's presence.

When morning came, Damian went back to the city, trying to look for Morgana, who was nowhere to be seen. Damian received a letter delivered by a courier, which belonged to Morgana.

"I have some business to attend to, so I will be leaving for a while. We can meet up in the future, I am sorry for this. Also, your friend Billy the mushroom is more interesting than I thought, so I will be taking him with me. Also, start thinking of moving away from the tenth floor, it will not be safe anymore."

Damian felt wronged when he read the letter. Morgana got Billy, a mysterious mushroom from the latest floor of the dungeon and ran away.

'Why do I feel she is up to something? Especially considering the last part of the letter.'
