Chapter 578 Tyrants' Dungeon (2)
"Do you think that he is in the dungeon?" Icarus suddenly appeared and then asked.
"It is certainly possible… there is also the possibility that they knew that the dungeon would be his safest hideout," Billy said. "Damaging dungeons from inside is nearly impossible without targeting the cores, and even if it is possible to damage it from outside, the last room at the very least should be indestructible."
"Meryl mentioned that he hasn't left his domain in two years as well… do you think that he has been grinding this entire time?" Icarus asked.
"Who knows, we need to ask Meryl if this guy had fought the maker," Billy replied. "If that is true, then it would explain why the manipulator would be this obsessed with staying in a dungeon."
Although Billy didn't let that be seen based on his facial expression and words, he got a bit worried… letting someone grind in a high-level dungeon would certainly give them the chance to reach some crazy levels. While he wasn't doing exactly the same thing, he already reached level four hundred… what level would his enemies reach in a dungeon even more powerful than the ones he used? Considering the time and other factors... it wouldn't be weird if that guy had obtained at least one of those one thousand point skills. It was trully worrying...
Eventually, Meryl got tired of waiting and joined the fight. She was particularly eager to kill those at the center of the camp for whatever reason… they must be the original members of the manipulator camp. They decided to follow him of their own volition. Since that was the case, Icarus and Lucyna also joined the fight.
"Well, I suppose it can't be helped," Billy said and then shrugged.
Billy would get less experience and mana, but there was more to be gained in the dungeon. It was weird, though… they were going to head to a dungeon in order to get a fellow reincarnation instead of targeting the guardian of the core. Regardless, after one hour, they meet at the center of the dungeon. The minions left behind by the manipulator could take down several tribes daily. Still, they couldn't stop the fully prepared reincarnators.
"I suppose it is time for us to learn a few other things," Billy said.
"Such as?" Meryl asked.
"Did this guy face the maker?" Billy asked. "What is this dungeon? How many floors does it have?"
"Yes. I heard that this dungeon spawns tyrants and that it has at least fifteen levels," Meryl replied.
Meryl replied the question the way Billy liked since she wasn't someone who liked to waste time either. In any case, Billy's first guess was right, but he heard of something troublesome. Tyrant was a type of monster that he didn't know, and dungeons with that many levels were absurdly rare. Twelve levels had the biggest dungeon on the human continent, so that spoke a lot.
"What are tyrants?" Icarus asked.
"They are bipedal dragons that can't fly. While I never saw one, I heard that they are pretty similar to Godzilla," Meryl replied.
"That is a word that I wasn't expecting to hear here…" Lucyna said while frowning.
"Tyrants are known for their high resilience. Some people even call them: the undying dragons," Lucyna said. "I didn't want to believe this, but to think that that guy used this dungeon for so long… He must have become incredibly more powerful than the last time."
"What about the dungeon under the control of the maker?" Billy asked.
"... I don't know what it is spawning there," Meryl replied. "All that I know is that the dungeon appeared in the last war, and he took it over."
"I don't take pride in this, but I am pretty good at telling half-truths," Billy said. "That is why I can tell that you are telling one. You know what that dungeon spawns, and you are afraid that we are going to run away if we hear about it."
"You are so fucking annoying…" Meryl said without hiding her anger. "Yes, I know what it spawns! It fucking spawns fire dragons!"
"As I suspected…" Billy thought. "I guess the reincarnation here is receiving preferential treatment… or the death of so many of us triggered the arrival of this dungeon."
"Fire dragons, you say… I can't believe someone would fight them for so long just to become more powerful," Icarus replied. "I tried some dungeons, and they are quite the depressing place. There is no sunlight, and food and water are used pretty fast. You can't relax for a second, so…."
"It is a pretty good place to make someone's mind become harsh and deteriorate," Lucyna added. "I don't know how things will play out, but maybe if we can get this dungeon for us, then we will be more ready to face the last target."
"How many levels had the deepest dungeon that you guys cleared?" Billy asked. "Clearing a fifteen levels deep dungeon won't be a cakewalk, even more so when the spawning monsters are called undying. It will take weeks… or maybe not, if we work together."
Billy was worried about leaving his family for more than a few days… he had warned his wives that the mission was going to start that night and then he might stay there for a few days, but… the memories of the days when he conquest his second dungeon were coming to mind, and that was more than a little bit depressing.
"I suppose we can't stop midway once we start this since we might give the manipulator some time to prepare for us," Icarus said. "While I didn't clear any too deep dungeon, we would need your help, but you have your own family to consider."
"I was prepared for this kind of scenario, so it will be fine," Billy declared. "Let's just finish this already. Speaking of which, did you bring those two?"
"They are guarding my village," Meryl replied.
