Hero of Darkness

753 The lmmortal Dungeon

As soon as Ervalen's commanding voice resounded in the surroundings, even the high elf party members stopped speaking, many revealing discontent and incredulous expression. However, in front of all these witnesses… they had to show him face and follow his orders as per the rules. 

In the present moment, even Kahn thanked Ervalen in his mind.

Soon, all the members left, paying no heed to their group. And finally, when they reached the entrance, the blue-skinned elf took out a light gray crystal covered under golden magic formations which sized as same as an infant. 

[Space magic!] thought Kahn instantly as he felt the law of reality surrounding that crystal. 

"That's the renowned Dungeon Imperial Pass. 

It allows the user group to directly go to Floor 50. 

It's like saving a month's worth of time in exploring." informed Edmund who seemed to have prior knowledge about this artifact somehow. 

Soon, a 100 meter wide and round magic formation appeared below their feet and encapsulated all the members under white light. 

Swoom! 

In the blink of an eye, the hero's party disappeared from the spot as if they were never here. 

"They didn't even use the main door. That's one handy artifact." spoke Legolas. 

Over six black doors, each 10 meters tall and 6 meters wide under a mountain came into their sight. 

Finally, the gates of the dungeon were officially opened for the people and one after another, people flocked towards the multiple entrances like migrating birds. 

The Misthios guild was the first one to enter given the number of their saints and how close they were to the entrance. All of them used the same door and as soon as they passed through, a bright light flashed before all of them were transported into an unknown place. 

Finally, their group managed to enter quietly without causing uninvited trouble. 

But this wasn't the end as thousands of people started appearing behind them one after another. 

"Let's take a look around first." spoke Legolas and they all flew high in the sky. 

Soon, all of them revealed slightly astonished expressions and glanced at each other while gazing at the surroundings. 

Ahead of them, wasn't just a standard floor with some normal terrain. Rather, it was a peculiar one. 

Because this was no longer just a dungeon floor but a completely different world.

----------------

In Vantrea, dungeons were always separate entities from the outside world. Here, the dungeons had their own sentient wills because of the oversaturation of mana. Like how the earth had its own climate system that repeated a cycle of seasons on its own. 

But a Supreme Dungeon like the Immortal Dungeon also had World Energy in abundance that something like a low-level dungeon like Bromnir dungeon lacked. 

Thus, the dungeon was not only able to set the terrain, but it was also able to use the elements in the world, reshape terrain and also twist or adjust laws of reality to its will. 

In simple words, a supreme dungeon is like a pocket dimension on its own. 

For example, the scene in front of the group was not usually seen in the world outside. 

Because even the first floor was like a vast mountainous terrain with thousands of small peaks and boulders hovering in the air, most of which were covered in green plant life present everywhere. 

"We have to wait till all the people are done entering. 

Only then will the dungeon acknowledge all the entries and the door to the next floor will start." spoke Scorpion. 

Finally after waiting for 5 hours, all the personnel had officially entered which consisted close to 2 million soldiers, adventurers and mercenaries for expeditions. 

"Which floor is our target?" asked Dante aka Jugram. 

"Floor 81." responded Legolas. 

"We don't necessarily need to kill the floor boss either. You all have to only stall for few hours and get the battle to a stalemate. 

After collecting the ingredients, we can leave using our passes." responded Edmund. 

Dungeon passes were similar here just like Rakos Empire. Used for entry and exit. However, they wouldn't work if you were engaged in combat or died before using them. 

"I wish we had an imperial pass, it would have saved us a lot of time.

Still, what do we have to worry about? 

We're all saints. Clearing these floors easily shouldn't be a problem, right?" spoke Edmund under his mask. 

"I'm afraid that's not the case." replied Legolas and looked around the millions of people from different professions, forces and backgrounds on the ground. 

"Every floor after the 50th floor would be associated with the law of reality of a particular element. 

Some will even have terrain effects that could kill us. This dungeon isn't unconquered for no reason." Scorpion replied in a somber voice. 

Ronin had already gathered everything available in the market and through their connections available in high places. 

They even knew which floor had which kind of setting, where the exit doors were and what were the conditions to clear the floor. 

Furthermore, the hidden traps and locations for harvesting materials as well as monster lairs on each floor were also marked on their maps. This was just basic intel gathered. 

The Immortal Dungeon was thoroughly searched and raided for over a thousand years already. So naturally, all the knowledge till floor 80 was available to many as long as one paid good money for it. 

Every floor had different conditions and minimum limits to clear it. Only the party who cleared it would be allowed to progress through to the next floor. 

"Now the real problem begins." spoke Legolas with a serious voice. 

However, the main reason it took so long to clear a supreme dungeon was because of the daily passage limit. 

Only 1 party that cleared the floor after fulfilling the quota for that respective floor would pass. After that, the door will be closed for the next 24 hours. 

And only the next group who cleared it would be able to pass again while the rest will have to wait for their turn. 

This filtered out many weak groups. But also… it caged the others for an additional day. 

Thus, many couldn't even progress for months. 

The only loophole here was that if you were part of a large group and cleared the floor, all the members who were part of it would be granted a passage. 

Thus, a supreme dungeon always had a big issue. And that was… 

Who was strong enough to pass to the next floor first?
