Sivanthe and the rest of the team waited impatiently. The blue portal was still active, so Lukas and Gures should have exited the dungeon. It had been over 40 minutes since Sivanthe and Eipi exited the dungeon, so Gures and Lukas should have followed suit. “Did something go wrong inside the cave?” Eipi asked, voicing out his concern. “Maybe the boss monster didn’t actually die?” Vanessa said, worry evident on her face. “That’s wrong. It can’t be the case. If the boss didn’t die then the portal would not have opened. There has to be another reason for the delay.” Sivanthe interjected, dismissing their ideas. “Then what could be the cause for their delay?” Eipi asked again. At a glance one could easily tell that Eipi was incredibly worried about Lukas, which was strange considering the fact that they hadn’t even been together for up to a week. “I have no idea. We just have to wait.” Sivanthe said, trying to ease the worry in their hearts. They turned their gaze towards the portal,

For the past three weeks, Lukas had fully focused on practicing his spells. Being the genius he was, he had improved tremendously regarding his spell casting and had reduced the time he needed to cast his spell greatly.He was able to cast his first tier spell with just a thought and his second tier spell in less than a second. The third tier spell still took more than a second to cast, but Lukas knew that in a few days, he could reduce the time to just a single second.He had also improved his mana control greatly, and was now able to change the state of his element freely and with ease. Although it was still not at the level he wanted to be, it was a huge improvement on his part. If he were to redo the dungeon run again, the fight with Gures would have ended in less than five minutes.Lukas stood up from his bed and stretched his body. He performed some light exercises to loosen his body. When he was done, he was about to lie down on his bed when he suddenly remembered an important

Lukas woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He checked the caller ID and saw Eipi’s name written on it. Lukas groaned before picking the call.“Hello?” Eipi said.“Yes?” Lukas asked in a dull tone. He wasn’t in the mood to talk. He just wanted to sleep.However, all traces of sleep escaped him when he heard the next words that escaped Eipi’s mouth.“Hey Lukas, we have completed two dungeon runs these past weeks and is preparing for another one in four days. Your suspension is now over so you should come over to the Guild for the meeting and strategy discussion.”Lukas sprang up from the bed in shock. He was extremely happy! His suspension had finally been lifted!“Alright! I’ll be there in an hour!” Lukas replied.Eipi responded lightly before disconnecting the call. He had done his own part.Lukas could barely contain his joy as he washed up in the bathroom. Other than his eagerness to test out the upgrade effects in a dungeon, he was also extremely happy for another reason.Pro

The Kangaroo noticed the disturbed mana flow underneath its feet and jumped up to escape Lukas first spell.If it were before Lukas ingested the mana core, it might have worked due to how long it took Lukas mercury to spread across the ground. This time however, reinforced with the effects of the mana core, Lukas spell was cast almost instantly.The mercury spell trapped one of the hind legs of the monster kangaroo. Lukas instantly changed the state of his element from liquid to solid, chaining the leg of the kangaroo down.The speed of transition was so quick that the Kangaroo had no idea what hit it. It tried to wrestle its leg free but it was futile. After ingesting the mana core, the strength grip of Lukas spell had doubled. It would take serious physical strength to break through from the spell.Lukas himself was shocked at the effects of the mana core on his spells. He had already chained the monster down and it was unable to break free.Lukas did not let this chance slip. A mas

Huge.That was the only word to describe the monster. It was incredibly huge. Even the monster Lukas had seen in the F-ranked dungeon Ariel’s castle wasn’t as huge as this. It was completely out of his expectations.Lukas wasn’t the only one affected by the size of the monster. Not only was the monster huge, it was incredibly imposing. The aura it gave off alone suffocated them, and Lukas found himself losing the will to fight.The monster screeched loudly before making a full appearance. Lukas gulped. He should have known what kind of monster it was the moment he stepped into the monster’s lair. They were only one type of monsters that loved staying in tall trees; birdlike monsters.The monster was similar to a hawk, but it was extremely huge. Its talons were as thick as tree branches, and its wings were just as powerful as they looked.Sivanthe felt beads of sweat rolling down his head. This wasn’t just a warrior class monster; this was a warrior class monster on the cusp of breakin
