Chapter 225 224. Changes.

(AN: Omniscient POV)

In front of the spawning ground.

Though it was a place filled with dangers, it was still bustling with people. There were tons of stalls, weapon stores, dismantling teams, and shops that auctioned tokens.

And among them, many squads of different guilds were also moving with a different air around them; players were buying and selling all the basic requirements for a dungeon raid; and, though unwanted, even guides were present, guiding all the people where they wanted to go.

"Looking for a healer!!!"

"Looking for a tank!!"

"We'll pay the one fifth of what they are willing to pay, come with us, sir."

"Join us, we have the highest probability of survival!!!"

"We need a damage dealer!!!"

People who had made their way towards the gate were searching for the party members; people associated with the guilds were ignored for obvious reasons, while they haunted people moving solo or in a team of three like ghosts, some managed to escape them, but since not everybody could escape, they were baited into an unfair deal.

Then slowly the place began to turn silent as if a wave had passed, then they slowly made way and saw three people walking without any protective gears on them, all there of them a different aura surrounding them that made others to make way for them.

A handsome white-haired man walked in the middle with two otherworldly beauties next to him. Of course, the man's charm was even more higher than the women's, even though that was enough to ignite envy and jealousy in all the men while igniting lust and affection in women. From the way the women next to him were fidgeting, it seemed like they were his lovers, and that made both men and women turn green in envy.

Of course, the man didn't mind them as they made their way towards the gate. Many gasps and murmurs filled the area, and a few people even started to grin at them, widely. The people who had somehow survived the spawning ground began to think that those three were newbies who underestimated the spawning grounds due to their high self-esteem about their slightly superior strengths.

"Do they want to die?"

"Gasp!! I can't believe they want to enter the spawning ground with only three of them."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's as they say, people with beauty don't have brains."

"Hahahaha, let them go, they'll know once they get inside that they are nothing but a frog in the well."

"Tsk, good looking people should just die."

Many comments were being thrown at the trio; the man didn't seem to mind any of them, but a dark-brown-haired woman next to him was gritting her teeth with bloodshot eyes, while the black-haired woman was calming her down.

They then stood in front of the gate, and the people's laughter and comments mocking them grew greatly, but the trio ignored them, and the trio talked amongst themselves before walking into the gate with red-coloured tokens in each of their hands. And then suddenly, the white-haired man held both of the women's hands and stopped them from jumping into the gate before turning to face the people who were commenting about them.

"...." then suddenly absolute silence descended upon the area and they felt a sudden chill run down their spines when they met the white-haired man's gaze and then....

TAP

The white-haired man raised his right hand slightly and tapped his index finger in mid-air. He held both of their hands again before jumping into the gate with his back facing the people.

"What just happened?" A mumble was heard, but neither of them answered; they were dazed in confusion. What did that man just do? Was that a show? If yes, then how did he tap mid-air, and what was that sound? Where did it come from? All these questions cruised through their minds, but then they ignored that weird man and got back to work, and...

CRACK

They halted as soon as they heard a cracking sound; all of them glanced around before halting at the spot where the handsome man had just stood.

CRA-CRACK

The space cracked from the spot where the man had just tapped, and the space started to expand and continued to do so until it was at the size of a boulder. The inside of the crack in space was completely black, and slowly a dark purple hue began to ooze out of it. The temperature dropped by a few degrees, and they felt some kind of pressure bearing down on them, but it wasn't anything they couldn't bear.

And then something moved in that space, and that something shot wide open, revealing a bright orange iris with a vertical golden slit like pupil; the ground abruptly began to tremble, and a golden-black ripple shot out from the space, knocking all of them unconscious; it wouldn't have been strange if they died from the amount of fear they felt; it would be a fun sight to see when they wake up.

Not even a second had passed after the hue oozed out of the space; if it had stayed there even for a millisecond more, all the people around the area would have died in fear, without even knowing what had just happened. Whatever the man had just done, it strangely inflicted fear in the souls of the people who saw it. It would be great if the man never used it again, but looking at how he used such a technique at people who simply badmouthed him, it certainly doesn't feel like he would stop.

(AN: Back to normal.)

Inside the "random" dungeon.

In a dense forest area filled with lush greeneries. A handsome white-haired man, a black-haired gorgeous woman, and a dark-brown-haired stunning woman stood next to each other with dazed expressions on their faces as the scent of mud, flowery aroma, fresh air, and the slightly ironic scent of blood trickled on their nostrils. as the waterfall's sound came from their right.

"What a beautiful dungeon." Katline mumbled as she relished the feeling.

".....yes." Katharine mumbled with a small smile on her face.

"Certainly. As much as I'd love to stay here for quite some time, prepare, wolves incoming." Eshwar's nonchalant voice sounded.
