Chapter 571: An Unexpected Blessing?

Chapter 571: An Unexpected Blessing?

As I get up from the floor I notice the others have worried expressions, it looks like something has happened, but no one wants to talk to me.

I get closer and everyone looks at me awkwardly, they look at each other as if trying to encourage her to tell me whatever is going on, but in the end, everyone looks at Vanessa as they walk behind her.

"I was going to let you tell me later if it was okay, but from the look on everyone's faces that's not going to happen, so tell me what happened?" (I)

Vanessa seemed to be in a bad mood, she looked at the others who turned their faces away, then she looks at me still a little annoyed.

"To put it simply, something unexpected happened." (Vanessa)

"What? I didn't see anything but you walking around." (I)

"I wanted to know how you feel about conquering the Castle Dungeon?" (Vanessa)

I looked at her not understanding why she was asking me this, but for some reason, a bad feeling was growing inside me.

"No lie, I was really thinking about exploring some Dungeons, but we don't have time for that right now, besides it's not a good idea to decrease the number of monsters in this place." (I)

"I realized that there are many Realms around this land full of death, they are all at peace and I imagine they must even have some kind of alliance to help each other during the Monster Waves because of the Undead in this place, at least I would have done it." (I)

"If this place were no longer dangerous, then it would just be a land full of Dungeons and useful resources for any Kingdom, it could become a cause of conflict and then war." (I)

"I thought the same thing." (Vanessa)

"Castle Dungeon seems to be a Cursed Dungeon, I noticed that even from afar, maybe because he's a Dungeon Master, Nix noticed it too." (I)

"We already knew there was a powerful Dungeon here of Grade Catastrophe, I'm sure it would be that one." (I)

"I haven't confirmed it, but I imagine the other Dungeons in this place range between Grade S and Grade SSS." (I)

"That assumption is based on the information we've obtained here and in Blood City." (I)

I for some reason was unnecessarily prolonging the conversation, I was barely giving Vanessa time to speak, I knew I didn't want to hear what she wanted to say to me.

"That's exactly the problem, we've already conquered a Dungeon..." (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

"Also, it was the Cursed Dungeon in the castle." (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

Sigh

"Please tell me you're kidding?" (I)

"I would very much like someone to tell me that this is all just a joke." (Vanessa)

"But we haven't even entered any dungeons in this damn place, nor come close to the castle!" (I)

"Looks like we've put an end to the source of the curse." (Vanessa)

"It can't be true, how did you find that out?" (I)

"I have received the Title [ Conqueror of the Cursed Dungeon ]." (Vanessa)

"Furthermore, I also received a reward for that, I spoke to the others and they all received the same reward, a Blessing." (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

"Everyone just realized about it now, I was just the first to notice." (Vanessa)

I couldn't believe this ridiculously bad luck, I quickly found out what caused it, it was the death of the woman trapped inside the gem that was the God Fragment's host, it could only be that.

Ding!

<[ You have gained 702090 EXP for achieving [ Dungeon of the Waiting King ] ]>

.

.

.

<[ Congratulations on conquering the [ Dungeon of the Waiting King ] by fulfilling the King's wish to wait to be reunited with his wife in death ]>

.

.

.

<[ You received a Blessing as a reward from the Goddess Kalistos for your achievement [ Kalistos (Demon Goddess of Death) ] ]>

I couldn't help but cry for how lucky I am, the tears just started pouring out of my eyes like a waterfall over my broken heart.

I thought everything was settled, we spent days traveling in this land of death until we got here, we avoided big battles in this Capital so as not to lose the advantage of the surprise attack, we killed all the enemies, we rescued the Blood Demons and we still took care of the seal of the Fragment of an unknown Heretic God.

I was so happy that all of this was resolved, I was so happy to get back on my sightseeing trip until I reached the Poisonous Forest to plant the World Tree Seed.

I didn't want any more trouble, I thought I could have a time of peace, I couldn't even imagine on my list of worst things that would cause a war someday, it didn't even cross my mind.

"Why does everything have to be so hard for me?" (I)

I was devastated by it all, Vanessa even gave me a hug followed by Sakura and Nix.

"What should we do master?" (Nix)

"..." (I)

This was not the right time to get into despair, I had to try to resolve this situation, I can avoid getting into wars, but that doesn't mean I want to be the cause of one.

I tried to think of many different things, but each was more absurd than the last and less likely to work, but suddenly an idea I was thinking about before I heard Vanessa flashes back to my mind.

This is by far the most absurd of the plan, especially after the last-minute additions I made, but I think it could work.

I turn to Nix and mentally connect with her to pass on all the plan information I can think of, I must say Nix's horrified face was a little amused.

"Are you crazy? You don't have enough energy to do this." (Nix)

"It doesn't matter that part, just tell me if the plan is viable if you forget about that part of my insufficient energy." (I)

"It would be theoretically possible, but there couldn't be other Dungeons." (Nix)

"I already imagined that." (I)

"We might as well wipe out all the Dungeons in this place." (I)

"It's not that part of the plan I'm worried about, it's the end of the plan..." (Nix)

"I have to think of something..." (I)

I soon look at my status for the new Blessing I received, then I thought back to the plan, the plan was slowly taking shape.

"How do I contact the Demon Goddess of Death?" (I)
