If the fountain of life was a small pond, the Contaminated Spirit was a much larger tree.

A Contaminated Spirit whose size is enormous, each branch thicker than the base of a branched tree.

Ian, standing in front of him, suddenly asked Sarah if she had any thoughts.

“But Sarah, what do you mean, it's a little different from what you know? ”

In Ian's question, Sarah scratched her back head and replied.

“The mood is similar and it looks similar, because it's much larger than the Contaminated Spirit we targeted. ”

“Oh.”

Vanessa adds.

“And those dark red fogs over there? ”

“Yes, I see it. ”

“There was nothing like that in the spirit that we used to attack. ”

“Aha, I see. ”

Sarah replied again.

“Maybe it's a dungeon on a higher map, so maybe it's an upgrade. ”

At Sarah's words, Ian grins his head.

It was because Ian felt like she was right.

‘Well, even the same dungeon can grow depending on the area or difficulty. ’

As Ian stepped off, the two sisters began walking together towards the entrance of the dungeon.

In the case of dungeons, the name was not mentioned above, such as a summoner or NPC, so it could not be confirmed that it was a contaminated spirit until it entered and checked.

The closer you get to the entrance, the more gloomy and intimate the dungeon is.

Later, Ian's group enters the tunnel leading up to the dungeon.

- Tyring!

It reminded me of a message I had been waiting for with the system notification tone.

The message, however, was slightly different from what was expected.

- You have discovered the Dungeon of Contaminated Ancient Spirit.

- You were the first to discover the dungeon.

-Doubles all experience gained in the dungeon over the next 24 hours.

-Doubles the chance of getting items in the dungeon in the next 24 hours.

- In the dungeon over the next 24 hours, there is a double chance of "Contaminated Ancient Spirit" appearing.

Do you want to enter the dungeon? (Y/N)

The Contaminated Spirit is definitely correct, but the new "Ancient" sign stands before it.

And the ‘first dungeon discovery’ buff message that popped up together, as if proving it was another dungeon.

Ian's pupils identified them were enlarged greatly, and so were the twin sisters.

Their eyes, as a party member, were reminded of the same message.

“Not just a Contaminated Spirit, but a Contaminated Ancient Spirit? ”

With Vanessa's muttering, Sarah also opened her mouth with an anxious expression.

“This feels strong. ”

After checking the message, Sarah quickly opens the dungeon information and checks.

It would have been a higher dungeon of concept than the two sisters had previously attacked, but it felt like a dungeon of more difficulty than the two sisters had expected.

- Dungeon Name: Contaminated Ancient Spirit

- Entry Requirement: Have at least one summoner who has learned 'animisty’ in the party. Average Party Member Level 45

- Dungeon Level: Lv. 50-55 (Exceeded)

And Sarah, who had confirmed the brief dungeon information, remained rigid.

“What is this? The dungeon is over level 50, right? ”

Immediately after Sarah said, Vanessa, who opened the information window, also looked ridiculous.

“Gosh, what a sudden increase in dungeon difficulty! ”

At the foot of the Spirit Mountain, where Ian's party is now, was a field of monsters in the mid-30s.

In these fields, difficulty dungeons are usually set at no higher than level 45.

However, according to the information window confirmed by the two people, the dungeon in front of them was a difficulty level up to 55. Therefore, we can not avoid panic.

“Ha, isn't this greedy going in and getting killed? ”

“I see. If the dungeon level is between 50 and 55, the boss will definitely exceed level 60.... ”

Sarah and Vanessa looked genuinely uneasy.

Of course, it was encouraging to be the first to discover the dungeon, but if the difficulty of the dungeon is too high, it would be meaningless.

The first discovery buff was meaningful in the dungeon no matter how good the hunting speed was, so it was natural for the twins to feel uneasy as they were at transcendental level 35.

No, in fact, if Ian had not been at the party, he would have given up without even thinking about it.

They had barely completed the conventional "Contaminated Spirit" dungeon.

“Still, I'd like to see what an ancient spirit is.... ”

“What should I do, Ian? But we still have to go in, don't we? ”

At the same time, turn your eyes to Ian and carefully ask for Ian's attention.

After a while, the two people who saw Ian's face were embarrassed.

Contrary to their anxious expressions, Ian's face was filled with an immense smile.

Ancient Contaminated Spirit? This is amazing. "

In the beginning, Ian wasn't even checking the level or difficulty of the dungeon.

Ian's eyes are now on the last line in the dungeon discovery buff.

The message was that there was an increased chance of contaminated Ancient Spirits appearing in the dungeons for 24 hours.

If we get this right, we might be able to get new Spirits from Magby. ’

Ian still remembered.

The name of the Summoning Wizard who summoned Magbi was the ‘Summoning Ancient Spirit Wizard’.

Magby's Informational Window did not contain the phrase "Ancient Spirit," but it was reasonably foreseeable that it was an Ancient Spirit.

“Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh! ”

Ian felt so good about the twin sisters' unexpected gifts that he didn't even know he was weird.) I blew up the photon shop.

‘We must capture an Ancient Spirit that is worthy of use, whether it's a Military Spirit or a Derivative Spirit. ’

Ian then began to walk in loud without even answering the twin sisters' questions.

“Hey, Ian. Are we really going in there? ”

“The dungeon is over level 50! Are you going to be okay?”

Ian pauses for a moment because of the distraught shouts of the two sisters. He looks back and opens his mouth.

“If you're scared, you don't have to come either. I'm going in alone. ”

Sarah and Vanessa were more perplexed by Ian's answer, and they remained firm.

But wait a minute.

The two of them immediately began pursuing Ian.

If I didn't go in with Ian now and stay outside, it would be obvious that I would regret it later.

The two sisters had almost the same thought in their heads.

‘Yes, I would rather have a death penalty than regret not following me into the dungeon. ’

And after a while.

An irreversible message came to mind before the eyes of Ian and three others.

- Entered the "Contaminated Ancient Spirit" dungeon.

- The Contaminated Spirit reacts to your movements.

- The entrance to the dungeon is blocked.

-All ‘Space Movement’ artifacts, magic and unique abilities are sealed.

- Until conditions are met, you cannot go outside the dungeon.

* * *

The choice of the two sisters who followed Ian into the dungeon was, in fact, almost instinctive.

Given Ian's combat strength, which you two have confirmed, it is close to suicide, if you think of it as a common sense and logical basis.

Although Ian was able to deal with the guardians of transcendent 58 levels of life, the dungeon would be filled with contaminated spirits of that level of combat power.

However, Sarah, who once again checked the Dungeon's information window, was able to realize a new fact at that moment.

Sarah whispers to Vanessa as she walks by.

“Wait, Vanessa. ”

“Huh?"

“What level are you on? ”

I'm 37. ”

“Then the two of us together are level 73... ”

Sarah, who was calculating something hard in her head, soon turned into a frightening expression.

“Huff…? ”

And seeing Sarah's expression, Vanessa began to rush by tugging at the edge of her clothes.

Curiosity arose from her unusual expression.

“What else, Sis? Don't do it alone. Talk to me. ”

Sarah, who swallowed her dry saliva, opened her mouth again in a calm voice.

“Ian, that was one hell of a monster, Vanessa. ”

“He's a monster. You know that, right? What's the big deal? ”

“I just did the math, he's level... … at least level 58. ”

“ ……! ”

In Sarah's unthinkable tale, Vanessa's face remains frozen.

It was because his level was completely different from defeating a monster of transcendent level 58.

“W-what do you mean? How does that work? ”

In Vanessa's question, Sarah answered briefly.

“Take a look at the conditions for entering this dungeon, Vanessa. ”

“ ……? ”

“If we're going to have an average party level of 45, what's her level? ”

Vanessa had a blind spot, but for this simple calculation, her head was moving pretty fast.

Because of what Sarah was saying, I could understand her next time.

“Monster, monster...! ”

And Ian, who heard roughly what the two sisters whispered, shook his head and gave him a pinglass.

“Why don't you get ready to support me, instead of wishing I knew something useless? ”

Vanessa looks back at Ian and adds a few words.

“Ver, Bug User! ”

However, Ian ignores the frightening Sarah and Vanessa and starts summoning the summoners one by one.

From Ian's point of view, he entered a dungeon worth fighting for the first time since he entered the Spirit System, and it was becoming increasingly memorable.

‘By the way, you don't have to call in Kaiser and Helheim. This dungeon boss is like a 60-level boss. ’

Now, Ian's two faithful were stirring Mount Spirits, each riding on a manger and a pin.

There were too many spots to find besides the fountain of life, the tree of life, and the Contaminated Spirit.

And with Ian's dungeon difficulty, even if there were no two gone and two summoners, it wouldn't be a problem.

“Now, I think the enemies are starting to appear...? ”

Ian grinned as soon as he climbed on Iron's back.

The two sisters who later prepared for battle also stayed close behind Ian.

And after a while.

- Smells human.

- There were some bad guys.

- Drive them out!

As you hear a rumbling sound coming from inside the dungeon, the spirits with dark green shadows reveal themselves one by one.

And above their heads was a message box that said,

- Contaminated Swamp Spirit ‘Ponatos' (Advanced)
