Chapter 389: More Than He Should

Chapter 389: More Than He Should



Sylas walked out of the trial ground with Lolaleen in tow. He wasn't sure if it would work, but it seemed that the system had acknowledged Lolaleen's change in affiliation.

'I wonder... when I enter with the Basilisk King, does it count as one or two?'

This thought surfaced in his mind as he realized how smoothly Lolaleen was taken under his wing. He was half expecting for her to be taken back with her group and then likely either restrained or killed. Either way, he had thought that using her again in the future would be difficult.

The only reason he didn't kill her outright was because in his views, it still might be possible to use her again.

It was unlikely that they had a method to reverse enslavement or else their reactions wouldn't have been so fierce. So, their only options would be to kill or restrain. If they did the former, so be it. But if they were foolish enough to do the latter, then Sylas might be able to make them pay by using Lolaleen as a tool for sabotage the next time they met.

Unfortunately, all those thoughts were moot.

'Still, things have gone smoothly. I didn't need to use the Basilisk King or <Arctic King's Domain>. I still have a lot of trump cards left that I can spring on an enemy in the future, and I've weakened their team a great deal...'

Sylas was always looking ahead. He knew that this wouldn't be the end of the Dungeon, so he had no choice but to hide as much as he could for now.

The rules were still a bit of an enigma to him, so caution was the name of the game for now. That would certainly be easier with Lolaleen by his side buffing him.

"Tell me all of your Skills, Gene Talents and abilities-including what treasures you hold." When the duo walked out of the portal, they found themselves before a very familiar set of four doors. Realizing that the numerals matched the token they received earlier, Sylas came to understand something.

'So that's why...'

When Lolaleen finished telling him about all her stats, he then asked her to explain all the rules of this place.

'... What a convoluted game.'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Dungeon was, as expected, more of a coming of age ceremony for the Sylphs. It was also a way for them to challenge one another without going into all-out war, thus why they were separated into family factions.

yet, anyway.

"Stay behind me."

...

News that a human had infiltrated their coming of age ceremony had long since been spread to the rest of the Sylph Empire. Those that normally treated this matter as a formality showed slight hints of interest and the viewership began to slowly increase.

Normally, the stair challenges wouldn't be broadcasted, while the team battles would be. So, when everyone saw the result of the first team battle, there was a harsh silence left behind.

--

A certain old man stood behind a bonfire, looking down into the flickering flames as though the smoke didn't bother him at all.

'A Level o...' he thought to himself silently.

At first, he hadn't thought much of it. If the human had happened to stumble into the Dungeon when it had just appeared, it was still possible.

But then there was Sylas' little display of Rune Soul, and now... his victory against all odds.

This was a problem.

It was impossible to contact those on Earth right now, the restrictions were too stringent, let alone the fact the old man still wasn't sure exactly which planet Sylas was from.

However... what the Sylph did know was that this couldn't be allowed.

The fact that Sylas was Level o and still so powerful meant only one thing...

He knew more than he should.
