Lyla agreed with Sean and she continued talking
"You are very good with the use of a dagger. Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you are strong enough?"
Sean understands Lyla is asking if he is mentally prepared for the fight against the devils and he won't just get killed before the fight starts.
"Come on, I made this decision and I'm ready. Moreso, I've got no choice, unless I want to be trailed by devils until I die or the tribulation is over. If I'm lucky, I have to do this. Sean smiled and reassured Lyla.
He didn't want to risk their plan.
He had not minded fighting the devil soldiers. If it was some human soldiers or thugs, he can easily dodge them instead of going to a fight with them. But this? With the scent?
It surely was a different matter entirely.
"Uhm, apart from being safe, is there anything we can loot from the battle? Something that can at least help us through the tribulation" Sean asked ay after thinking of what profit they can derive from the battle
"You mean devil's meat?" Lyla asked jokingly and continued'' Sure, there is. The devil's bone, rumors had it that the devil's bones are magical items. They can be forged into armor, but it will require a lot of devil's bone to make one. I heard few devils wear those armours in this city but the devil general and the devil lord have them. Anyway, the only thing profitable out of this battle apart from their meat is a piece of their bone. It is a great weapon against the devils, it kills then faster than other weapons"
"Well then, we take as much bone as we can. Wait, are you serious about eating the devil's meat?" Sean asked with an irritating voice
"Yeah, it's meat. I've never eaten one before but by the time we run out if food, unless we want to rob others, we won't have any other choice"
"Forget about that. The devil's bone, can it be forged into other weapons except for armor?"
"Of course but whatever is it that it will be forged into, you'll need magic"
On hearing Lyla's reply, Sean smiled to himself, if he has enough devil bones and he makes enough weapons and sells them in the game, he'll make a lot of money. That is why the entered this game in the first place. As for magic, he hope the player bounded with him improve in the learning of magic.
Everything seemed easy to Sean; he'll get devil bones, the other player learns magic, they make weapons and get rich.
Sean smiled I himself again but then the smile froze, there is one trouble; getting the bone out of the devil. He doesn't know whether the magma on the devil's body will be ineffective after the devil's death, if it does, he will just have to pull the dissected body but if it doesn't, he might have to wait till the devil rot.
Then, an idea popped up in his mind
"Hey, if the devil bone kills the devils faster, then why don't we get one before we fight them?" Sean said to Lyla
"What do you mean?"
"I killed a devil yesterday, right? We can get it's bones, we'll have more advantage"
Sean is prepared to take any risk to complete this mission faster. Even the devil iis not his target so to kill the devil lord, he might need the devil's bone.
Be js not just going to stay passive and get pursued by devils, "attayos the best defense " he reminded himself
He had made the dangerous choice when he entered this game and running from it is not a good idea. He will lose his reward and might even die in the process
"Going to fight the devils with devil bone or not, it's still dangerous, we will need to prepare" Lyla said
"Prepare, how?"
"Like I said, we need to avoid close combat but in case you get close to and can't escape, you might need some blocking skills. I can teach you blocking skills so that you'll have more options when fighting them, what will you offer in return?"
As a thug, she surely will have some skills she has been using to protect herself and she might want to learn a skill she knows nothing about, but does Sean give that skill now that she wants something in return.
"Are you going to learn blocking from me?"
Lyla asked say when she saw Sean's reluctant to answer
A system window popped up at the same time on Sean's vision
[Are you going to learn Blocking Skill from Lyla? Yes/ No]
**************************************
This particular scroll was written for brilliant students that are invited into the league, not random students that applied for membership.
The only reason the Anti Devil Sect is in the list is because the League thought this kind of promotion might help boost the sect's members.
Trina examined Anti Devil Sect's row. The description of the direction of their research piqued her interest especially since the sect is 'anti devil' and there is a devil tribulation going on.
Moreover, the identity in which they could enroll her in was rather attractive
"Personal Direct Disciple of the Sect Master"
Her purpose of joining the League is to have more information about the tribulation and get closer to completing her mission, the Anti Devil Sect seem to suit her to a tee
Because of the sect's weaknesses and Trina's identity of 'a brilliant invited student', she still enjoys a high degree of freedom and high status upon entering. Anyway, those magic arts are what she interested in
And the object of their research Devils and Dragons vam supplement her lack of knowledge in that area. Trina thought as she tapped a finger on the Anti Devil Sect.
"It is then" she concluded.
Trina looked around and saw Liu, she signaled for him to come and asked him
"This place,what do you think of it?"
"All of this place is specially designed for the league, I think it is off limits for common villagers"
"I was thinking the same thing. There must be very powerful people here, we should tread softly and not get into trouble "
"Sure"
Cheng, the man that welcomed Trina earlier came back and asked
"Sister Trin, have you made your decision?"
Cheng asked with a broad smile on his face
"Oh, yes. I have chosen to learn at Anti Devil Sect" Trina replied with a smile too.
On hearing Trina, the smile on Cheng's face froze
"Uhmm, miss Trin, Anti Devil Sect will soon be dropped out the League, you might want to reconsider your choice"
"Of course not, I've taught of everything thing and I have chosen"
"So be it then. Anyway, of you get to the sect and decided to change your sect, you are always free to that " Cheng replied putting a smile on his face
"Thanks for that "
"You can rest now, early tomorrow morning, we will head to Anti Devil Sect " Cheng said as he retracted his steps and left
…..
On Black Smoke Canyon, several hundred meters away from Flying Inn, the yellow ground had cracked out of dryness, everything withered and vegetation was extinct.
Like a giant black scar, Black Smoke Canyon lay stretched across the yellow plain, an unending stream of coldness gushing out of it continuously.
A giant black hole opened up in the face of the cliff wall right in the middle of the Canyon.
Trina stood behind her female guide. Presently, he was standing in front of the hole, gazing at the signboard hung above it
"Anti Devil Sect"
Those three words were etched squarely and neatly into inky black signboard, looking rather imposing.
The entire cave was several dozen meters tall. Standing at the boy's mouth was like standing before the haws of a mysterious mammoth beast, as if she could be swallowed by it instantly at any time.
"This is Anti Devil Sect" The female guide reached for a wheel in the wall beside the mouth of the cave and turned it
"Rumble l, rumble…"
Instantly, the tremors under their feet spread into the depth of the cave
"This place is very deserted, if you want to buy anything, you will have to head back to the Flying Inn, there is no other street around, remember. On top of that, the people in the Anti Devil Sect…"
Before she could finish her words, she shit her mouth abruptly.
A gust of chilly air blew out from the cave. A pale faced young man with blood red eyes emerged from the right side of the cave at looked at Trina
"Master has sent me to receive our new Junior Apprentice Sister ''. The air that blew from the man reeked of a disgusting smell, nothing about him looked human. "Which one among you is Trin Queen?"
His voice was slow at low and sounded as if he would break into a cry at any time.
"Another skill? So skulls can be learnt from NPCs, that will be great if it's true. I'll just have to put a good impression you on the character and get the skill I want" All sort of thoughts popped up in Sean's mind and he answered "of course I do" Excluding the skills that his bounded player added to their arsenal, Sean only has one skill for himself. Although he doesn't know how powerful a skill might be, judging from the description of his skill, it must be a game changer. 'The more skills you have, the more powerful you get, especially when you start to level up your skills', he learnt that from his sister Trina. There was a time when Trina tried to teach him how to play video games with a low realism percentage but he never had time. Work, school, medical treatment, all of this used up his time. Well, he did learn about attributes, they could help supporting skills and vice versa What happened next confirmed his hypothesis After he agreed, Lyla started to explain her evadin
Sean though of the reason, he guessed that was because he was still a novice player, not experienced enough.Lyla watched his demonstrations and also imitiate have steps, it quite difficult for her to learn the skill unlike Sean who learnt it instantly with the help of the system. "Using dagger seem to be more difficult than blocking attacks" Lyla spectated, breathing heavily. "That is because attacking skills can also be used to defend, take blocking with a dagger for example" Sean explained. Lyla stopped learning for a while, sge looked at Sean as jealousy flashed through her face. "You are lucky, aren't you? You have already learnt blocking skill and you are also good with the dagger, you can just attack while defending at the same time. Guess I'm not as good as you are""Don't think that way. To be honest, I can learn things faster today because 'self defense has always been a prominent course for all yo study back at home'. You tried your best. " Sean comforted Lyla. He is n
Sean with him s backpack on was like a soldier that just returned from war; he took Lyla's advise to wear all clothes because she said it will make them look scary and humans will be afraid of them. Although he had no black cloth, Lyla provided him one. Lyla already laid down her guard completely since Sean taught Heth s dagger skill, she deemed him as a friend that she can at least be safe with; someone that won't still her food but still had this little vigilance incase Sean tried betraying her. She wore a black dress that fit her petite body. The dress was so tight that it made the originally slim girl's breast and butts to shot out of cloth; with a black lip gloss and eye lashes on, Lyla looks more attractive than scary. When Sean saw Lyla in her dress, his heart race for a while, he found Lyla more attractive than when he first saw her at the robbery. He felt his heart race. Back on earth, no girl will want to associate with poor guys like him, they believe where there is no
While ripping the devil's flesh, Sean cut his flesh open in the process but he didn't care, he doesn't have time. Without knowing, hus blood mix with the devil's and the devil's blood flow into his body. Sean didn't stop cutting the bones until he received a message from the system.[Congratulations!

[Sean's POV]Temptation!That was the first thing that came to my mind. And did I just hear her call me dungeon master?I furrowed my brows and turned back, I saw a lady. She had long white hair that covered her round face which had a broad smile on it. She was wearing nothing, just a robe that covered her breast and a mini skirt to cover her waist. My heart was beating faster when she cast her lustful gaze on me, it wasn't because I was scared, this lady is damn pretty, or should I say hot. I stared at her at a loss of words, but then, I returned to my right senses, I am human, why will she call me dungeon master?"If the dungeon master has any questions, you can ask me" the voice sounded again, it was like the sound of the voice was bringing out my lustful desires. I tried my best to overcome the temptation and I asked her"Who are you and where am I?""you are in the dungeon stationed in Golg" she replied without moving from where she was "the dungeon in Golg?"' I said, recalling
"Welcome dungeon Master " said the lady I met earlier who is also the dungeon core protector"I am not interested in explaining myself like I did the last time neither am I interested in your dungeon mastering whatever "I said unconcerned "I know you will come up with this so I have decided to do things on your behalf" I still didn't reply as I folded my arms and laid against the wall. The vines started moving and before I could move, I got tied down. The lady dipped her finger inside my body and our finger pierced through my skin, she let out a drop of my blood on the dungeon core and some words appear in the air [System activated][Occupation accepted as an hybrid of the devil kingdom][The hybrids blessing 100,000 points][The worst spirit concentration!

I fell on the ground, rolled on it and stood up. The cut on my back healed up in a few breaths. I looked around to see if anyone was with me but I still saw nothing. I drew out my sword, using the Holy Veil's senses and sight to predict where the next attack will come fromI realized that dinse my greatest fear is Nothing, I'm fighting Nothing The sense of danger that I felt is more concentrated on my left side so I guess that is where Nothing is. With all my speed I ran there and with all my strength I swung my sword but I stopped halfway. Nothing twisted the sword, forcefully collected it and threw it away. Nothing squeezed my neck, I almost died. Nothing threw me away and I gasped for air as I landed.To kill nothing, I need to find my advantage against it or its own weakness.Nothing slashed me again as it healed up immediately. This continues for a long time and I have to endure the pain. All the cuts nothing caused on me were healed instantly, as if they were never there, exce
Then an idea popped up in my mind.The spiritual core The spiritual core has the ability to control its spiritual energy. All I have to do is find ways to get back to the third floor and search for the Core.I released my spirit and covered my body with it and I ran towards the coming spirit energy. I dive into it and despite the cotcr of being pulled backwards, I manage to swim out of it as I get to the third quarter. It was all in ruins; broken bricks everywhere and I have to search for the core I begin my search for the north side of the quarter I searched the whole side very well but I couldn't find any pink shining coinIt's stupid, searching for a pink coin in a collapsed building.I have no choice though so I kept searching I went to the east side of the quarter and started another search . I searched the whole side but still found nothing. I heard the sound of the spirit energy coming towards the third quarter againThis is real trouble. The spirit energy is going to and fr
It's just like challenging a devil to kill 300 super heroes. Whereas it is very difficult to achieve, it's not an impossible feat Grr.. The sound of battle dogs came from all directions and I was surrounded. I took my battle stance and gripped the hilt of my sword.They all rushed towards me at once but they didn't realize that all of them cannot bite me at the same time. Every time I swing my sword, at least two of them fell There is always this small space that I always have between a fallen dog and an incoming one. All o have to do os occupy the space and use it to my advantage I kept slashing and slashing for a long time and it felt like it's never going to end but I didn't stop.I can't get hurt right in the second quarterAfter around ten minutes of slashes, I finally killed three hundred batti dogs. Blood was dripping from my sword and my body wax coloured red[You killed all the monsters; mission completed][You can now go to the third quarter]I jogged from the second qua
Out of the dungeon"It was good having you in our team, never thought acute senses could be this useful"" Rose, people don't know that acute senses is more of predicting the future than it is useless "After we got out of the dungeon, we drove back to the cafeteria we all met to share the profits."Steve, bring out the black gold coins for account"Steve had already wrapped all the black gold coins in a cloth, he took it out of his suit I put it on the table"We killed twenty scorpions and five birds. Both monsters are level 1 monsters so here, we have twenty five black gold coins" Steve paused to see if everyone was listening and then continued " according to the squad rules, we share our profits equally. So here are five black gold coins for everyone " After giving everyone five black gold coins there still remain one on the table and everyone looked at Steve with a suspicious eyes" Did I count wrong? I thought there were twenty five coins here"" There are supposed to be 25. I k
"Desert, sand landscape desert, how can something like this be in a dungeon " rose asked" The last time it was some grassy area and dwarves in it" Maxine reminded" Ok stop everyone stop" Ethan halted ai do for everyone. "We are dealing with a cunning dungeon master here. The last people who entered this dungeon walked out alive, we don't know why. The dungeon master must have a reason for changing the dungeon escape every time but one thing I know is he is using the most easy way to capture us" "That means the dungeon master is trying to kill humans without losing any monster, that's genius " Maxine guessed" You are right Maxine " Ethan paused and then continued "forgetting the part of letting humans go, the first time it was a grassy area with dwarves in it, Now a sand desert . We need to think of monsters that can survive in a sandy area. Steve, what have you got"."Uhm, I don't think he's using monsters this time, maybe he wants to sink in the sand.

By then everyone should be in Golg. Do we have any Golg resident here? "" Yes, max and I are in Golg currently"" Great, you guys should arrange a place for us to meet. I'll update you if there is anything else. Mind you Levin, the squad is just a five unit squad so you need to try your best in winning the fifth position."" Don't worry, I will"The conversation ended as everyone's name went from black to gray; that is to indicate that they are offline"I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong but I do know one thing: 27th is three days from now and I need to prepare the dungeon for a real fight.

The system will notify you when you received it""Ok, core protector. But there us one problem, there are some monsters scattered around the dungeon, they seem to be independent and won't listen to orders"" Oh yeah, the random monsters. Can you approximate their average number" I faced Mou and asked " No dungeon master, but I have come across six of them"" Warg, is there a way we can get all of them to gather in one place "" What are you going to do"" Tell them that this is my dungeon and of they will live here, they must obey me"" I don't think that is necessary because the system says the random monsters will disappear after the protection period""They are no more random monsters when they become monsters. Find a way of doing that and order Mou to do the task".I said I went away from Warg to the dungeon core. I sat beside it a
