Chapter 28: Entering The Dungeon
Chapter 28: Entering The Dungeon
In the deep areas of the Polaris region, this area being a place where one could find forests with trees so thick that even three men couldn't hold their arms around, the thunderous sounds of hooves rang out and if one were to were to see the sources of the sounds, they would see a several horses being ridden by different people speeding through the forest.
Despite the fact that it was mid-afternoon at the moment and that the sun was out and at its peak, for these people riding through the forest, it felt like the sun had begun setting due to the numerous branches that hung over the forest and did a good job of keeping the sunlight out.
This group went riding for three more hours before coming to a halt in front of a huge stone that had been covered in so many green crawling plants that it now looked like green stone.
The people all dismounted their horses and without a word, all began taking their supplies off their horses and placing on their beings, well all of them except one.
Dismounting from his horse, Blake gave his surroundings a glance and then without a word walked some distance into the forest till he was out of sight, took out his dick and relieved himself.
With a low whistle, Blake went about his business and when a presence walked up behind him, he raised an eyebrow and turned his head.
"Any problem" Blake asked staring at a young woman who had her eyes closed and her face flushed red.
"Sorry to disturb you, Miss Kate told me to call you," The woman said,
"No worries, I'll be there soon," Blake said and with a rapid nod, the girl turned and almost nearly ran away.
"And that is our healer, she seems like a typical teenage girl, well an uncorrupted one," Blake said as he zipped up his trousers.
As his own master, Blake had the option to turn down Kate's request without care, but then the woman had gone and involved the entire town, an action which landed him in a situation where he either followed Kate to the dungeon or stayed back and be frowned upon by the town.
Hell Blake bet that if he still said no, Kate would organise some type of gathering of the townspeople to plead for his help.
"Well I can't go running from trouble every time, I have a ton of cards up my sleeve and with my SP I'm sure I can handle whatever Kate has planned," Blake muttered swiping through the resources in the system shop looking for a particular technique.
Being met with another disappointment, Blake returned to the group a minute later and when Kate began looking him up and down as if searching for something, he couldn't help but question her.
"What"
"Well, your sword, we are about to enter, won't you bring it out." Kate worriedly asked after all amongst everyone present, he was the most casually dressed, having not a single protective item on his person.
"I'll be fine," Blake said with a shrug.
A Mage who was Kate, a healer who was a young woman called Yula, a berserker called Reins, two paladins the men being Jeric and Noel and then two rangers these people being Roy and Palde.
Along with Blake these people made up the eight-man adventurer group that was about to enter the dungeon, and perhaps there were a few people who were quite unhappy with Blake's casualness of the situation but after his display against Reins no one was stupid to dare make their complaints known or worst of challenge him.
In this adventurer group, other than Kate, there was no ordered being, the rest were all wannabe aspirers of their class still yet to become first-order beings the same going for Blake but he was the only one who knew that, after all to the rest he was a knight of the sun god, the strongest of the group.
A few pieces of advice were given, a reminder of the mission's objective and parameters were given and then without any further delay, the group walked towards the green stone, pushing aside the green plant which had crawled over it to reveal a wide opening at it's bottom and going into the opening, they entered the dungeon.
....
Of the many mysteries of this world, Dungeons ranked among the top and it wasn't because they were hard to understand but because of how easy it was to figure out their rules despite them being products of the greatest magical manipulations.
For instance, after Blake passed through the opening of the cave he only had to walk for a few meters before he and the group began seeing light at the other end of the cave and soon they found themselves standing on a low cliff and looking down below at a forest whose end they could see if they squinted their eyes and then above them, what should have been a rock was instead a sky and in that sky a real sun hung shinning down on this small world of trees.
What was bizarre was that Blake had felt no sort of energy fluctuation as he entered the cave, yet here he was in a completely different world.
"Roy and Palde, the two of you will go ahead and scout while Sir Blake and I will be at the front of the group.
Jeric and Yul you two will stay in the middle and then Rein and Noel you will both protect the back." Kate said assigning everyone their roles and then she turned to a calm looking man with shaved hair in the group
"Jeric a quick reminder to you that your first priority on his mission will be to protect Yula," Kate said and then seconds later the group descended into the forest and while everyone immediately went on alert, their steps captious and eyes peeled out for the enemy, Kate and Yula could only worriedly look at Blake who had a lost look on his face as he stared at the trees around them.
Ignoring the thoughts and stares that he was getting from his teammates while crying and pleading within, Blake went scrolling through the shop's various offerings, his target still being the inspection skill, his desire for it being quite high especially given his current situation.
While the group had left the village as a team, to Blake that was nothing but a Joke,
Blake firmly believed that he was in a 7 vs 1 situation and though he knew himself to be more than ready to tackle whatever might be thrown at him he knew he still lacked one tool to make himself invincible and it was the inspection skill.
"I mean look at my SP balance how can I be at peace when I have such a heavy account that is just begging me to spend it" Blake thought remembering his new SP balance after an entire day and a half of fucking half the mothers in a town.
