Chapter 225 Investigation (1)

Jake ended up breaking all the limbs of the lion people, and while he was used to fighting, the sound of broken bones still was quite disturbing… maybe it wasn't because his blood was hot as usual when he did that. Nevertheless, he had to get used to it because he doubted that such a thing won't happen in the future. Moreover, the lion people seemed unreasonable, and while he wasn't the best example of that, he had to at least try to be.

Jake looked around and confirmed that those dumbasses once sent small parties to the region where people using the system would arrive. So, Jake headed to the dungeon without seeing many enemies along the way.

"If the people here are this mad, then the people of the third world must be even madder…" Jake thought. "They lost a treasure, the last member of their royal family, and a dungeon… That is one hell of a loss no matter how you look at it."

Since there are no dungeons in that part of that world anymore, Jake won't have to worry about going there, but if there are others and they spread the news about this incident all over their world… All humans, possibly all those who used the system, would be met with the same level of hostility Jake just met. Once confrontations with that level of hatred start, it would be hard to imagine it stopping by normal means.

In any case, although only a few days had passed since the forced dungeon break, the number of orcs around the dungeon was quite high. That was probably because of the moronic lion people… They left the dungeon alone even after the incident.

"All of their status, levels, and skills increased… how is that possible when only four days have passed?" Jake frowned when he used appraisal on them.

Something was off… Jake thought that the level of monsters and bosses in dungeons could increase over time, but it seemed that his guess was wrong. The only thing that happened there… was the dungeon break. Could that speed up the power level of the enemies spawned by such a place? If that were the case, then the enemies probably already knew that, and if they wanted to cause massive destruction in many worlds, they just had to cause numerous dungeon breaks.

"Since they worked together with the orcs and the apes, the criminals should have learned those things by talking with the bosses," Jake thought. "Vare said something about if I had come working for the system, then we were enemies… does that mean that the criminals are trying to fight against the system?"

If that was supposed to mean something, Jake had no idea what it was… he always thought that the dungeons and the monsters were part of the system since they worked together to make most people stronger when they succeeded at those tasks.

Jake couldn't imagine a good way of getting the answers since he knew that all the smart bosses would react and treat him the same way as Vare. Since they could be revived, it would be hard to imagine that torture would work on them. So, most doors toward information were closed to Jake.

"Well, I guess my only option is to kick their ass once I have the chance to do so," Jake said and then shrugged.

Instead of thinking about anything else, Jake decided to focus on the task at hand, the number of orcs was relatively high, and they were camping around the dungeon like they were waiting for their numbers to keep increasing while they save strength. Jake didn't think that they were planning on doing the same thing as before, but it didn't matter either way.

While armed with his greatsword, Jake moved toward the enemies, and it didn't take long for them to notice him. Since they were all melee fighters, Jake felt like taking them directly. Still, even the orcs couldn't help but frown when they saw a single human walking toward them. They didn't recognize Jake since he wasn't using his cloak, or perhaps those were the troops that didn't fight a few days ago… Nevertheless, they only sent twenty orcs against him since they could tell that he wasn't that much strong.

"Hehehe, another chance to kick the ass of the enemies that underestimate me," Jake said while grinning.

When they got in range, Jake dasher toward them, and the enemies raised their weapons. However, when the first enemy got close enough, Jake sped up his sword strike and then hit the enemy's left side with the side of his own sword. While Jake didn't kill him, it sent him backward, making him collide with other orcs.

Using the confusion created by that, Jake used Fissure. His attack on the ground made the enemies around tremble alongside the ground for a short while, and then Jake used that chance to approach a group of five orcs. He swung his sword horizontally, and at the last moment, he used the Mana Blade as well. That combination made him cut into two, five orcs in a single moment.

You received 85 coins.

You received 85 coins.

…

When the orcs around the dungeon saw that, they immediately started to get up. They recognized that Jake wasn't a normal enemy, even if he was weaker than most of them in terms of parameters alone. Jake sighed while shaking his head for a moment… at least they made up their minds pretty soon.
