chapter-882
After several minutes, Liam was once again back in the same area. He jumped off of the white fox and landed on the ground, but they were not standing in front of the magic shop.
Instead, there was a glowing green portal in front of them. It was hidden beneath a dense network of thorny vines, but it was definitely there.
"Hello, dungeon portal." Liam clutched the sword in his hands tightly with determination. He then entered the dungeon along with Luna.
This was still a basic dungeon, so a slew of wolves rushed at him from different sides. Liam did not waste his time and immediately summoned his soul army to take care of the low-level beasts.
Just like the dungeons back near their guild base, this one also had multiple floors, and he calmly cleared one floor after another without breaking a sweat, ending the entire dungeon in no time.The familiar 'dungeon is being upgraded' notification rang out soon enough. The duo then once again lifted up in the air and started hunting down the next one.
In this manner, before the end of the night, they cleared a total of three dungeons from top to bottom, forcing all of them to upgrade to the next level.
Perhaps it was merely a coincidence, or perhaps it was a rule of the new world, but Liam only managed to find these three dungeons in the vicinity, all three of them sprinkled on the edges of the zone in which the magic shop was located.
"Ok. The first part is done. Now we wait."
Liam tiredly flopped onto the ground, resting on the green patch of tall grass that had grown like a rampant weed. Luna as well, silently lay next to him.
Though both of them were considerably tired, neither of them was in the mood to sleep. They simply stared at the night sky, which was devoid of any stars at the moment.
On several occasions, the little fox couldn't help but peek at Liam to see how he was doing. She knew that her master was strong and powerful, but today had ultimately ended in a loss.She was extremely disgruntled with the whole thing and had taken out her anger on the weak mobs inside the dungeons they had massacred today, but it wasn't nearly enough to quench the bitterness of the loss that she felt.
It was like an itch that she couldn't scratch and was nagging at her. She imagined the face of the damned spider again and again and punched the air, thinking that she was punching him.
Just because he was at a higher level than them… growl! It was unfair!
As if he could read her thoughts, Liam lightly smiled and patted her back. "You are just a baby, aren't you… I keep forgetting it every now and then…"
Kyuuu! Luna snuggled up next to him without saying anything else.
The two of them silently continued to stare at the sky when suddenly leaves rustled in the distance. They immediately became alert, but the next second, Liam sighed and fell back to the same relaxed position.
Luna, on the other hand, jumped up and ran away somewhere, only to return back the next instant with a poor guy in her maw.
She tossed the person mercilessly in front of Liam and then went back to snuggling up close next to her master. She gave a side eye to the cretin who dared to disturb this precious time she had with her master, which made the person subconsciously shiver.
"Ah… I…"
Growl!
He immediately shut his mouth.
Liam laughed and patted her and then calmly asked this intruder, "What are you doing here?"
The only reason he did this was because this person was dressed in the military uniform, the same uniform that the others had worn in the military base he had recently visited.
Liam watched as the guy quickly steadied himself first and then sat straight, taking a few deep breaths. He then looked back at him directly without any of the previous fear and mouthed in a serious tone.
"Sir, I would like to request a few seconds of your attention."
"Hmm?" Liam dragged his gaze, observing the person in front of him. He seemed to be in his early twenties, perhaps the same age as Liam, and was stick thin, also not that different from how he was before.
But no matter what angle he looked at him, there really wasn't anything special about him. "You already have my attention. Come to the point fast." Liam curtly responded.
"About your visit today. I am afraid things are not as simple as what they made it out to be." The guy started.
"Unlike the normal vampires, vampire lords are not easy to handle. It is my hypothesis that each of these vampire lords possesses different abilities."
"They are powerful short-term abilities that can be taken down by a surprise attack and burst damage. Also, regarding the third vampire lord, I don't think that he is alone."
Liam's attitude went from cold indifference to curiosity and then to shock and awe as he listened to the man in front of him with rapt attention.
The thing was… he already knew everything that the person was talking about. However, what amazed him was something else. How was this seemingly weak and normal person able to gather so much information?
Liam was pretty sure that he hadn't personally faced any of the vampires or the vampire lords, but here he was, discerning everything part by part. Just who was this guy now?
Liam continued to patiently listen to everything he had to say, and the opposite party also elaborately spoke about many things, including magic shops, mana zombies, and dungeons.
And after everything, in the end, he added two more lines.
"Of course. Let me be very honest with you. These are all simply my theories and assumptions based on the information I gathered from many survivors and several soldiers."
