Chapter 1097  Treasure Trove (Part 2)

"There is actually information about that black figure," Evan's eyes lit up when he saw this as he carefully read the information Boris had sent him.

In just a few seconds, he finished reading the basic details about the black figure.

"He meets them at the end of every month..." He muttered while rubbing his chin.

According to the information Boris sent him, nine years ago, when the situation for humans had just stabilized after the dungeon outbreaks and the Federation was created, a figure shrouded in strange black energy approached all the high-level hunters.

This figure informed them that the situation on Earth would continue to worsen and that many new high-level dungeons would soon appear. According to it, these new high-level dungeons would not only be more difficult to clear, but the monsters emerging from them would also be more violent.

Because of its strange appearance, it was obvious that no hunter believed in its words. However, just a few days later, several new dungeons appeared on Earth.

There were a total of five new dungeons, ranging from C to B rank. Although these dungeons were classified as C to B rank, the energy fluctuations from them were far more violent than those of normal dungeons of the same rank.

Due to the dungeon rules, which only allowed people of the same rank or lower rank than the dungeon to enter, teams of C and B rank hunters were sent in to clear them.

However, all the teams that entered these new dungeons were wiped out. When these dungeons eventually had breakouts because no one was able to clear them, and the monsters rushed out, people finally understood why the hunters who entered to clear these dungeons were not able to clear them.

It turned out that the monsters emerging from the dungeons were Eldritch Monsters. Although the hunters on Earth had never seen them before, they immediately recognized the horror of these creatures because of the Eldritch Energy that surrounded them.

Not only could the Eldritch Energy mess with their minds, but it could also erode their mana, making it difficult to harm the Eldritch Monsters using their skills.

To kill the Eldritch Monsters that came out of the dungeons, the Federation had to mobilize high-level hunters. In order to kill the B rank Eldritch Monsters, they needed the help of at least one A rank hunter.

Reading up to this point, Evan couldn't help but think about the dungeon raid he had witnessed two days ago.

"As I guessed at that time, the reason those hunters allowed a dungeon breakout was because they didn't want to enter the dungeon due to the effects of the Eldritch Energy that filled it..." He muttered and continued reading.

Because the first Eldritch Dungeons that appeared were only C to B rank, they were quickly dealt with by high-level hunters.

But when those hunters remembered the words of the black figure, warning them that more high-level dungeons would appear on Earth, they all found themselves in a difficult position.

Just thinking about an S rank Eldritch Dungeon gave them goosebumps as they were certain it would be very difficult for them to clear something like that.

If an S rank Eldritch Dungeon were to appear in the middle of a city and a breakout occurred, they were sure that city would be doomed.

When Boris and the other high-level hunters were in this pinch, the black figure appeared before them again and offered to help.

According to the black figure, it could tell them where the Eldritch Dungeons would appear. To ensure they could kill S rank Eldritch Monsters more easily, it even told them it could help increase the rank of their core to S+.

Evan paused when he saw this information, and recalling what Valery had told him about S+ rank hunters, his expression turned strange.

"Don't tell me that dungeon portal in the underground basement..." He muttered in a low voice, and as he read further, his guess was confirmed.

According to the information Boris sent him, the dungeon portal in the underground basement was indeed created by the black figure. It wasn't a natural dungeon that appeared but was created by the figure to help hunters become S+ rank hunters.

According to the figure's words, as long as they could clear the dungeon, they would receive a reward that could help them become S+ rank hunters. However, if they failed to clear the dungeon on their first attempt, they wouldn't be able to enter again.

Boris was the first to clear the dungeon, and when he confirmed that they could indeed become S+ rank hunters by clearing it, other hunters also tried to clear it. But until now, only eight people, including Valery have succeeded in clearing it.

After creating the dungeon in the basement, the black figure disappeared and now only appears at the end of each month to inform the hunters about the new Eldritch Dungeons that will appear on Earth.

This has been going on for a few years now, and each month, the number of Eldritch Dungeons appearing on Earth is increasing.

As Evan read further, he also discovered the source behind the high-level formations and the weapons he had seen in the Federation Building and to his surprise, those items came from the Blood Dungeon.

According to the information, the Blood Dungeon was one of the few dungeons that provided very generous rewards each time someone cleared it. Most of the recipes for potions, materials for formations, and instructions on how to create them came from the Blood Dungeon.

It was as if, before the Blood Dungeon disappeared, it had been a treasure trove for all the hunters. Even though the dungeon's clearing difficulty was very high, the rewards were far more generous than those from any other dungeon.

Evan was quite stunned to learn that a dungeon could offer rewards far exceeding its rank, but when he reached the next section of the information, he felt his mind going numb and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
