Dungeon

A dungeon is a place closed environment usually having many enemies and treasures. Any respectable dungeon should have at least 8-10 levels with at least 50-100 rooms per level as a minimum.

A dungeon needs a dungeon core to keep on spawning the dungeon guards, the dungeon core functions as the mana source of all entities inside of the dungeon.

Some dungeons had their own respectable dungeon master, that usually is a demon king. Only a demon king that had a suffice mana and knowledge to make a dungeon core.

Yes/Half/No]

(Damn! What the heck with the overpowered stats!)

<The [king] card from the normal deck had reacted>

<Benefits from the goblin [King] card:

-All goblins will be willing to serve you

-All goblins under you will have their stats increased for 100%

-All goblins under you will be able to level up easier

-All goblins under you would be able to be granted a skill card>

The prompts Oz heard are full of good news and upgrades making Oz get too excited that he almost jumped.

(What the heck!? Stats increased by 100%!? Goblins will be willing to serve me!? It’s way too awesome!)

(Would be able to be granted a skill card? Does it meant that I could give them one skill from my possession?)

“Um… Master?”

“Hm? Ah! What?” The sudden call from Gareth makes Oz surprised.

“I wanted to ask whether that huge wall is your kingdom’s wall, but I’m more curious for the reason why your goblin form had transformed and gives more ominous feeling way different from before?” Asked Gareth.

“Transformed?”

Oz closes his eyes and tried to see the sight of the goblin king clone using the eyes from the orc viscount’s eyes.

(I-its transformed way too much!)

The already tall body is increased by about 1.5 feet. The muscles are bulging way different from before, and its face is getting more similar to human features. The skin also got darker.

“My clone got ranked up to the king rank,”

“It ranked up to the king rank!?” Asked Gareth with a surprised tone, startling Oz.

“What are you overreacting for?” Commented Oz, seeing that Gareth surprised until his always closed mouth got widely opened.

“I-its you that’s strange for being too calm even though you got ranked up to a king rank, master!” Protested him.

“D-does it’s rare?”

“It’s way rarer than rare! Even at my world, there not even 10 entities that managed to get into the king rank!”

(It’s that rare!!??)

Oz keeps his surprise reaction deep inside his heart, he tried his best to make his facial expression looks calm.

“If my clone could be ranked up, it meant that you should able to rank up too,” Oz said indifferently.

“Rank up is not a normal occurrence like using magic, it didn’t happen that easily. But your other clones seem to rank up too,”

“Let’s set aside the rank up things and continue on our expedition, you want an undead kingdom right? Then stop talking. Since we could’ve already seen the kingdom’s wall from here, let’s fasten our pace.” Instruct Oz.

They sprint and got arrived in front of the gate quickly.

“Identify yourselves!!”

Following the shout, dozens of archers aimed their bow at Oz, Gareth, and his clones.

!!!!???

Oz unleashes the killing intent from all of his clones. Gareth had already unleashed his killing intent to the archers since the archers aimed the bow at Oz.

Oz’s clones and Gareth’s overwhelming killing intent make the archers stumble and powerless. They couldn’t move their bodies because of fear, and their bodies had already given up, knowing that they wouldn’t stand a chance against their opponents.

*Whoooosh*

Some figures rush to the gate with a pale face, everyone in the whole kingdom could feel the overwhelming killing intent that Oz and Gareth emit, all figures like Aegir, Ibra, Gurolf, Brad, and even Geeta and Azaline the elf princess immediately rushes to the top of the wall.

(Wait, doesn’t that elf princess should be going back to her village?)

Everyone’s face still filled with panic and despair, sensing the killing intent that even made their legs keep on shivering. But seeing that even though their opponent is far more powerful than them, they still took the step to defend their home. Seeing that sight alone had already made Oz feel satisfied.

“Eh?”

“I-isn’t that, Ren!?” Shouted Geeta as she figures out the identity of the figure that suddenly appeared in front of the kingdom’s gate and releases that enormous killing intent.

Ibra, Gurolf, Aegir, and Brad immediately recognize the figure even though Oz’s appearance had transformed a little.

“T-that face, judging from that face that full of confidence and its features, it must be Ren. But, doesn’t he look far taller than before?” Asked Ibra.

“Are you going to keep your king waiting in front of the gate? no greetings and not even opened the gate?” Said Oz with a stern face.

Hearing those words, they confirmed that it definitely Oz, Ibra immediately instruct the guards to open the gate, and all of them went down from the wall to greet Oz.

“You’re Ren, but why do that demon and orc behind you have similar facial features with you? I’m clueless about the skeleton, though,” Asked Aegir.

“All of them is my clone, even this body is my clone. But I’m controlling this body directly for now by sending my conscious here, but this skeleton beside me is not my clone, he’s our new companion,” Oz said.

Gareth bows a little when Oz introduces him to the others.

“You could make a clone of yourself? You had that kind of skill? Since when?” Asked Ibra.

“I recently get this skill. I’ve been wondering for a while, but why does you the elf princess is here? doesn’t you should be handling your village’s immigration?” Asked Oz.

“I’ve chosen someone I trust to handle the things back at the village, and I’m the one who’ll be handling the people from the village that had already immigrate here,” Said Azaline politely.

“Hm… What about the kingdom’s expansion progress, Aegir?”

“It had been going smoothly but, recently we got stuck at one problem…”

“What problem?” Asked Oz.

“We encounter a huge tomb that seems to be the lair of a terrifying undead. At first, we found skeletons lurking around the tomb, but they seem to be hostile to us, so we slew them.”

“And we made an expedition inside of the tomb, I’m intending to give the soldiers some experiences from it, but the tomb is unexpectedly deep. And on the 4th floor, Our soldiers encounter a huge door, but they haven’t opened it yet since they could felt the murderous aura gushing out from the door’s gap,” Explained Aegir.

“Hm? It looks like fun! Let’s go there then,” Said Oz enthusiastically.

Aegir showed Oz the way to the tomb. The tomb is uncommonly big, and inside of the tomb is unexpectedly wide and full of space. Oz saw lots of scattering bones along the way, it seems that the soldiers did a great job at clearing the tomb.

“Could this tomb be considered a dungeon?” Asked Oz.

“If there is a dungeon core inside of this tomb, it means that this tomb is indeed a dungeon. But judging from the skeletons that don’t get respawned here, makes me doubt that this tomb is a dungeon, it looks like the skeletons rather than got spawned by a dungeon core, it got summoned by another entity.” Explained Aegir.

“Ah! I think that’s the door the soldiers reported,” Said Aegir.

“By the way, why haven’t you opened this door yet?” Asked Oz.

“I decided to wait until you got back, I’m worried that we alone will not suffice to defeat the entity inside without you,” Said Aegir.

“Scaredy cat…” Oz sneered.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s open this damn door!” Said Oz enthusiastically.

*Baaaam!*

Oz kicked the door and barged in together with his other clones, Gareth, Aegir, Ibra, Azaline, Gurolf, and Brad. But right after they entered the room, the door immediately got closed.

Inside of the room is pitch black, but slowly, one by one, the torches hanging on the wall started to lit up by itself. Oz observes the surroundings, but his sight got disturbed by the scene behind him.

“W-wait a minute, why does all of you follow me here!?” Oz asked Ibra, Gurolf, Brad, Geeta, and Azaline. Oz too focused on going to the tomb and had forgotten about their presence.

“We need to ensure the safety of the king,” Said Ibra, Brad, and Gurolf simultaneously.

“You bastards… And you two? Why did you follow me here too?” Oz asked to Geeta and Azaline.

“What? Am I not permitted to follows you around?” Said Geeta coldly.

(Ah! I forgot! I haven’t cleared up the misunderstanding with her yet!)

“The people from my village had settle peacefully, and it seems that there are no problems big enough to make me handle it personally. And the tomb you guys mentioned piqued my interest, please forgive my selfishness, your majesty,” Apologize Azaline, even though her eyes didn’t seem to contain remorse for doing the thing she did.

(What a great actress she is, her words and her expression are the textbook definition of contradiction!)

“U-um… Oz… I think that you need to start focus at our opponent there…” Following Aegir’s warning, the intense killing intent they had been feeling since they came in suddenly got multiplied for a dozen folds.

!!!

Oz, Gareth, and Aegir could still stand straight and face the killing intent, but Ibra and co seem to be having difficulties facing the intense killing intent.

!!!!!!

Oz, his clones, Gareth, and Aegir gushed out their killing intent simultaneously, making the tomb looks like it is having a small earthquake. Oz and co’s killing intent relieves the pressure at Ibra and others and gave them some space to breathe.

The figure that owns the murderous intent seems to be surprised by the sudden presences that seem to be having greater murderous aura than him. The figure stands and his figure finally visible to Oz and co. Its red eyes shone brightly as if it’s furious because of Oz and co’s presence.
