The ghostly, humanoid creature with a misty, transparent body appeared before Orion.

It was a swamp Wraith and it had the ability to drain the life of its target. Unlike the blind Gloopernaught monster, the swamp Wraith could actually see Orion, so it knew something was wrong after it tried to attack the elf prince.

The swamp Wraith sharp claws passed through the elf prince body, so it turned towards the next hologram, and the next one as well but it couldn't find the real elf prince.

However, Orion was still hovering mid-air but he had seen what he was looking for.

He swiftly hurled a spear straight to the wraith's core before storing both the monster and its core into his item box.

A swamp Wraith had a ghostly, humanoid appearance with a dim bluish green light emanating in its chest.

The light happened to be its core and it was much easier to spot than that of the Gloopernaught monster.

It stood at approximately eight feet tall and it wore a wispy, hooded cloak which seemed to billow around its body.

Just like the Gloopernaught monster, the wraith didn't have eyes in his sockets but it wasn't blind.

It could clearly see its target but it had no eyes. Only dark voids stared back at the spot where its eyes were supposed to be.

Yep, it was definitely not the most creepiest monster in this dungeon.

With that out of the way, Orion proceeded deeper into the dungeon. More Gloopernaught monster and swamp Wraith appeared, but he was able to end them all on his own.

A dungeon could only have between two to three monster variants in it, but the depper one enters into the dungeon, the higher the number of monsters they'll have to fight against.

Orion moved deeper into the dungeon and fought more Gloopernaught monster and swamp monster before tossing their carcass and core into his item box.

He wasn't storing them into his inventory because if he did, he would have to bring them out one after the other once he returns back to the guild, but he could easily drop his item box in the adventurer guild for the guild officials to assess.

Orion continued to have a boring exploration in the dungeon. The number of monsters he was fighting against had increased a lot because he had delved into the furthest part of the dungeon, but the monsters were still not a match for him.

It got to a point where even Orion had begun to yawn and was now feeling sleepy. 'I just hope things won't be as boring as this when the tournament begins,'

Orion continued to navigate the narrow stream, but as he did, Orion a mire crawler bursting out of the muddy banks, with its venomous fangs snapping wildly at him.

==

Name:- Mire Crawler {Dungeon Boss}.

Race:- Swamp Monster.

Monster Rank:- Rank 10

[Strength: 399]

[Agility: 399]

[Charisma: 16]

[Vitality: 250]

[Intelligence: 379]

[Skills:- Camouflage, Venomous Bite.]

===

The mire crawler was a massive, fifteen feet tall, serpent like creature with scaly, brown skin and razor sharp venomous fangs, dripping with deadly neurotoxins.

It had glowing yellow eyes and its body could blend seamlessly into the surrounding mud and vegetation.

The monster was actually a dungeon boss, so it was far stronger than the other monsters Orion had fought today.

It had the ability to blend with its surroundings and it had noticed that the hundreds of Orion's holographic images were not but an illusion, so it hid subtly within the muddy water, trying to find out exactly where the real Orion was.

Luckily for the monster, it was able to easily and swiftly locate Orion's real location and it swiftly burst out of the muddy water, to fly towards Orion.

Orion dodged the snake's initial attack and swiftly retaliated by striking the serpent with his sword, hitting the serpent in its core.

The moment the grimclaw sword touched the serpent's core, it instantly absorbed the core, increasing a couple of Orion's attributes in the process.

The core vanished away but the corpse of the serpent still remained, so the elf prince tossed the dead body into his item box.

Now, that the dungeon boss was no longer alive, all that remained was to destroy the dungeon core. Orion hovered a bit deeper into the dungeon before noticing the huge, glowing red orb in front of him.

He smashed the large orb into two, then he stored the broken orb into his item box.

The dungeon slowly dissipated and everything around him disappeared, allowing him to find himself in the place he had spotted the dungeon initially.

The dungeon core, the monster cores and corpses he had gathered would allow him to be rewarded with at least ten thousand gold coins, which was a really high reward for a C-Rank adventurer.

Most C-Rank adventurers couldn't clear a dungeon on their own, much less clearing it within a few hours, like he had just done.

It was simply unheard of and the secretary would definitely have her mouth dropping to the ground when she sees the handsome elf prince returning back to the guild with all the monsters he had defeated.

Looking back at the things that occured in the dungeon, Orion focused mainly on improving his spear proficiency, henced why he didn't use his sword a lot today.

But his spear proficiency wasn't the only thing he was trying to improve, he also focused mainly on casting illusion and sound magic spells because these two were among the lowest magical spells he had learned so far, so he had to get used to casting these particular tiers of spells before learning any of the other higher tiers of spells.

Aside from all these, Orion had also noticed a few changes in his system's appraisal skill.

He had noticed that whenever he equipped the grimclaw sword, he would be able to see the skills, he could plunder from a particular beast or monster.

The appraisal skill didn't allow him to see the mobsters skills before but with the aid of the plundering ability of the grimclaw sword, Orion could now see the skills he could potentially plunder from a monster.

However, the percentage of plundering this skill was extremely low at ten percent.

This meant that he had a ten percent chance of obtaining a skill from a monster.

He used the grimclaw sword a few couple of times today, but Orion was unable to plunder any skills from the monsters he fought today.

However, this doesn't mean he won't be able to plunder a skill from a monster in the future.

It wouldn't be easy, but Orion knew a time would come for him to plunder a skill with the grimclaw sword he obtained after defeating the goblin king.

Moving on, Orion returned back to the academy, right after he had obtained the reward for clearing a C-Rank Dungeon.

He immediately made his way to his room to have a rest after a long day.

Dahlia and Mia were currently training together in the training ground.

It's been a very busy day for the two ladies as well because they had conquered a D-rank dungeon and Dahlia still couldn't believe how terrifying and frightening ba beautiful Kitsune like Mia, could look the moment she's instructing them giving advice on how to improve and grow stronger.

Even the training, Dahlia and Mia were having right now, was an intense training but Dahlia was determined to give it her all, with the hope of being praised by her prince.

This was how busy the days had been for everyone, including Mia and Dahlia.

It was also the same for Aslan, Arthur and Adrian, who were currently being trained by Master Vorpal right now.

The little hare hopped very fast, dodging Adrian, Aslan and Arthur's attack at the same time before hitting all three in the same spot that rendered them paralyzed on the floor.

They've been training all morning and the three were looking exhausted after getting their ass whooped countless numbers of times by Master Vorpal.

"You three are definitely improving since our training began a few days ago. Your coordination and observation have improved a lot as well, including you too," Master Vorpal flared at Arthur after making the latter part of his statement.

He still didn't like Arthur but he wasn't going to allow his personal feelings to prevent him from training the Lion Prince and his friends.

A/N: Thank you so much for the power stones and golden tickets. I really want to increase the number of chapters but my health hasn't been so good these past few days and I don't want to miss a day of upload if I resume my double upload. Please, I'll try to increase it back to normal, the moment I'm feeling good again.
