"With this many monsters, I am sure they also hunt each other. This is a perfect breeding ground to produce strong beasts," Alice commented as she found similarity with the forest in her world.
"No wonder then. I always wondered why so many monsters could just come out from the dungeon.
Even if beside it is another world, just how many do they have? It's not like they are infinite.
Also, with a system like a dungeon, I don't believe we are the only world with a situation like this."
"What situation do you mean, Aunt Quartz? The dungeon break and invasion of species?"
"Something like that, but it could also just be a contact thanks to technology or a magic spell. But I don't believe a peaceful contact is possible.
Just look at history. Even with the same species, it always escalates to conflict, no matter how it started."
"That is true. Anyway, how far are we from the city?" Emily replied while she checked the map on her implant.
The accuracy is not good as it is updated manually as they explore the area. It's not like in the city where it's linked to the network.
"It shouldn't be far, but I still haven't found where Mother is," Alex replied.
"With our pace, we will probably take another day to reach the city, but there is still no clue about your mom's location," MingYue added.
Alex and Emily turned silent at the situation. Their worry started growing, but Alex kept it to himself.
"Don't worry, Emily, this just means they have no problem and their journey is smooth."
"That is true. Even with our current power, I still don't feel confident fighting those elite hunters. Since we also have no problem going this far, I am sure Madam Luca is also fine," Olivia added to calm them.
Meanwhile, Luca was now chilling and hearing updates from Heimdall and Felix.
He periodically sent Morse code through the shadow.
"If only this could send images and sound, it would be perfect," Isolde commented.
"That would just raise the risk. The more data sent, the more wave fluctuation will exist. Even with this Morse code, if Felix wanted, he could already use it in that way," Aldric replied.
"How can that even work? He could only send simple code through the shadow," Seraphine asked.
"It's not that hard. Just like how computers work, in the end, everything is just a binary code of 1 and 0. All this is then decoded into a color or pitch of volume by the audio. So technically, if we create a system to do this, it's possible."
Seraphine's eyes were dazed hearing Aldric's explanation, as she didn't understand anything. "Forget I even asked." She then turned her attention back to a gadget in her hand, playing a game.
Aldric chuckled, seeing Seraphine's action. He then turned his attention toward Luca. "How are you now?"
Luca let out a sigh, "I don't know what to think. The situation in the city is worse than I thought. Honestly, it would be better if we just faced a mindless monster."
"Of course, mindless means they are not sentient. It's easier to fight an enemy like that. They don't have any strategy."
"We need to do this in one clean operation. Based on how they treat humans, they won't think twice about using them as shields," Luca replied.
"What's your plan now? I am sure you won't just be satisfied with looking for Edward."
"Of course not. It's not like we can just find him without turning it all upside down."
"This is my hypothesis: looking at how they use the drug, I am sure they also know Edward's status. If he was captured, they would probably use him to ask something. So the only possibility I could think of is that Edward got away but by running into danger."
Luca sighed, "That is what he would do. I am sure he entered the dungeon."
"Yes, he is on the other side, in those half-dragons home world. I don't know what he's doing, but I am sure if he is not killed, he will become a problem on their side."
Luca's lips curled into a smile, "He will for sure. We should ask Felix and Heimdall to focus on the portal."
"Don't worry. I am sure they also have the same conclusion as us. Let's just wait for their news."
Back in the city, Heimdall, as Agni, just won the match. With Felix's help, his opponent's dog died instantly.

Before they could even attack, their heads burst open and exploded. His enemy was in shock as he just lost a lot of things.
Heimdall baited him to keep increasing the wagers. He is only left with his home now.
"So, do you remember the bet?" Heimdall asked with a grin.
The Dragari wanted to respond in anger, but he sucked it up as he knew he was really screwed now.
Every bet in the Arena is valid and must be enforced; there are almost no limitations to it.
Gritting through his teeth, the Dragari said sternly, "Let's have a rematch!"
"Why should I accept it? There is no reason for me to do that," Heimdall replied with a grin.
"Wait, just tell me what you want me to do. I will do anything as long as you at least spare some of it; otherwise, my family will kill me."
"Hmm… I do have something I need to do. How about you come to my home later at night? I will give the task to you then." Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Having no other choice, the Dragari nodded. He didn't suspect any foul play was involved, as in their culture, it never happened.
As a race of warriors, they always prefer to have a straightforward fight. Cheating in a competition is unheard of.
Heimdall then left the Dragari as he proceeded to explore the city. Other than architecture and culture, the city still worked like a modern human city.
