Rise of the Adventurer Series: Sea Dragon Nest Quest

Volume - 1 // Chapter - 29

Inside the Dungeon.

Levi Furiman along with Misho Santa, Pista Rambutan, and Sam Smeagel were the ones entering the dungeon where the last time Levi went into.

By that moment, Robert Steel was the only person leaving outside the dungeon for keeping an eye during their 'Redemption Raid'. As if he used his position as the head of the Adventurer Knights department, he takes his opportunity as an advantage for commanding several personnel who kept the gates guarded.

"Leave this for us, we'll take care of this!" A Loud, snappy order was made by Robert Steel towards the personnel before entering the gate.

While Levi whose carefully acting his move in the dark, he also made himself attended and went through inside the dungeon without getting noticed.

Without a single hole of mistake, they made their move successful, smooth, and clear. Just as they'd planned before they leave the church.

Before that,

At the Church 30 minutes ago.

The discomfort and uneasy feelings against each other for all this time since they knocked the Church's door had gone perished and easy to meddling. They made themselves clear and understandable for what they introduced as the result.

And then, they also ranked their status and abilities to measured up their plan before the battle had started.

From Strongest to weakest, as well as their positions and status.

The one making the plan was Sam Smeagel. Aside from his charismatic appearances, he's also one of the smartest tacticians throughout the Village's territory whereas he assigning in. Also, the reason why he was appointed ahead of the Investigations Department at a very young age is due to his quick-witted thinking and sharp-minded in investigating.

"Okay, for this crucial risk of our situation, also the numbers are very minimal to deal with. We need our senses sharp and our responses as quickly as they should. Knowing that there are 4 Dungeon breaks we'd entered this night until the sun rises." He copes up his plan while viciously looking at Levi's stead due to the reckless doings and regretful deeds he made long before.

Seconds later, Levi noticed it. He began timid and silent as if he listens to all the plans they made eventually.

"Since this kid (pointed out on Levi), has talent in hiding his presence completely, it was a lot easier for us not to get in trouble for him to enter the dungeon. Aside from that, since we already have 3 Knightsmen possessors in our forces, we better leave at least 1 outside the dungeon to keep an eye for entering some unwanted people." He added to what he's planned for them.

Suddenly, an unexpected person raising his hand for some suggestions.

"I'll be the one waiting outside since the people guarding the gates throughout the village are all my subordinates. They didn't seem suspicious if I am the one guarding for it." Robert Steel voluntarily asked for a task that Sam Smeagel already planned with high hopes of his expectations.

"So then, the plan is set... Let's head out!" A simple, yet complex procedure that Sam Smeagel meticulously think before the battle had started.

Letting Pastor Ozril behind, he asked the Department head for having him fight alongside them. Knowing that he was also the one getting involved in the problem that contagiously affected everyone for the past few days.

Unfortunately, Sam Smeagel simply nodded sideways, showing that he regretfully declined to what his effort might helping for them.

He explained for a reason, not because he's an attendant of the church that only Godly deeds are the only thing he does. But because of having him inside the dungeon might causing huge news and suspicion throughout the Administration, that putting their lives and careers on the line in the worst possible situations.

And so, after that;

They leave the Church at exactly midnight.

They heading east-north-east part of the Church, where the ones according to Levi were the nearest and sluggish place he entered before the break started to occur.

Riding the horses that the Church Pastor lending into, prepared for the worst possible case and wary for something unexpectedly happened.

Speaking for that;

The 4 Administration Personnel simply surprised, as they saw the only person couldn't manage on handling a thing that seems easy to do.

"This kid... Is hopeless!" Their minds became one once again.

Knowing the fact that Levi Furiman didn't know how to ride a horse, asking for help as the result.

Present time.

The same moment as Robert Steel started to guard the gate against the outside.

As they courageously entering the dungeon, they instantly felt astounding magic auras surging everywhere inside. That made their presence distorted right from their senses.

"I thought this place was inactive? how is place became erupted?" Sam curiously asked.

Misho and Pista couldn't hold themselves due to the uneasy feeling every time they slowly walked in.

As the 3 of them started to alarmed right from the start.

Levi Furiman is already prepared for his own, thinking that this will be an opportunity for him to demonstrate his skills and talents once again with the power of the Supreme Awakening.

Not only that;

His mind went messy, as he always thinks about a certain message made by the System Notification that made him completely idled and distraught.

~~System Notification ... Opened.

[Possessor's preferences]

Level: 2

Experience: 3% / 100%

Monicker: Unidentified.

Rank: Unidentified.

Guild: Unidentified

Affiliations: Unidentified

"If I will kill these monsters and magic creatures just as what I did to Gwaco and his goons... Then this will also give me some levels to do so..." A harsh, keen intuition made his mind before the battle had started.

And one more thing that made his mind puzzling, that the Unknown Being calmly advised the young man regarding releasing the power he possessed, hassle-free and easy to handle.

As for what he said that imprinted on the possessor's head. He pinched his right thumb using his right pinky finger and closing both of his eyes for a second to activate the Eye of the Supreme Awakening right intact and ready to attack.

!Blink!

!System Notification -- Activated!

~System Notification - Status

~System Notification - Inventory

Few counts of messages are starting to pop out inside Levi's head after he successfully activated his Eye of the Supreme Awakening on the right part of his eye.

"Then, Let's begin..." A solemn word was made by Levi, asking for the 3 Personnel to fight alongside him until the end of the battle.

He quickly opened one of the system notifications, knowing that it was an 'Inventory' that putting all of his weapons stored in a near future.

~System Call: Inventory

A silver-like wormhole inseparably popping out beneath his right wrist.

Without thinking, he placed his hand inside of it and began picking up the weapons randomly. Unfortunately, he couldn't.

At least, he only picked up a weapon whereas the ones he used against Gwaco in a recent dungeon break a few days ago.

And began making his move recklessly and solely.

On the other hand, the 3 Personnel began shocked and astonished at the same time, seeing a young man charging directly towards the enemy, empty-handed and unplanned.

"This Kid... Have guts..." Sam Smeagel started to get likes of Levi's courageous acts.

Even though the Department head had started to plan moments ago, the plan itself began changing drastically when they saw the key for ending the break was started making its move without prior noticed.

"Let's follow him!" He ordered the two men who already felt uneasiness the whole time.

It was already tens of meters away from their distance when they noticed a lot of dead magic creatures lying around in a matter of seconds.

But what made him more frightened and trembling the most, was that;

All the dead enemies they saw were disturbing and obscene with the eyes of an ordinary person. Multiple counts of corpses missing their heads, bodies cut into half, blood spilling like a river. Not only that, tens of different kinds of noise suffering for pain and agony towards their bodies, as where Levi Furiman striking into them. All of it was a work of a newly-sprouted monster.

Even though the magical creatures they face in was the hordes of goblins that evolving into a break. They seemed sorrowful for their fate than turning into misery.

"It looks like we are just awakened some monster out there." Sam went down as he suddenly felt regret for some reason.

"I told you, this is a bad idea for having him in the mission." Pista felt the same.

Misho left speechless for a long time, seeing a brutal and meaningless way of killing the magic creatures that Levi Furiman made the whole time.

A while later.

The killing spree had suddenly stopped, and the noises of the agonizing enemies went silent for once.

As they kept running pace to catch up with Levi from the distance.

They noticed him standing idled in front of a magic crystal, empty-minded and unconscious.

Aside from seeing those corpses lying throughout the places, they felt restless and frightened as they saw Levi covered with wounds both of his arms and knees. Resulting in his recklessness and unawareness of his surroundings.

By that way, Sam Smeagel whose a Demi-being Possessor, was the one analyzing the place and situation he held in whilst treating Levi's mild scratches at the same time.

While the two on other whose both Knightsmen possessor were the ones observing the weapons and traps that the goblins made against him.

"You okay, kid? ... What happened?" Sam calmly asked the injured Levi Furiman.

However, Levi seemed stunned and nauseous. Couldn't regain his senses for a moment. As the result, he can't able to scold him, especially in his current condition.

He then scouted their surroundings to check for the upcoming enemies. With his Demi-being possessing, he easily widened his sensibility to its maximum range, which made him aware whenever the enemy comes against them.

Aside from it, all other magic crystals and minerals inside the dungeon are being classified with his senses due to his powers and knowledge.

However;

"What is this place? ..." He was startled and his eyes widened.

Misho and Pista, who kept themselves busy checking the enemies' weapons. Noticed the sudden change of mood that the Department head made.

"Chief, what happened?" Pista asked out of his concern.

"Is something the matter?" Misho did the same.

As soon as their attention is focusing on the Department head's condition.

They suddenly noticed the weapons and things used by the magic creatures against Levi Furiman, which made him restraint and locked up.

"Those weapons..."

"... Are full of poisons!"

They finally realized after they noticed the weapons that instantly glowing whenever they reflected against the white magic crystal, which also left Levi idled in front of it.

It was a place full of dangerous minerals and magic crystals, usable for deadly fights and battles between territories against territories. That is seemingly rewardable for someone capable of mine with it. However, the dangers and precautions regarding mining with it might be costly and time-consuming, since the effects on grasping nor any sorts of touching the minerals will be harmful to the health of an ordinary miner, but the price will instantly be paid whenever it sells it to the larger Guilds and other large buyers.

Unlike the recent dungeon raid that Cassandra and Misa were involved in, the place itself they went was full of magic crystals suitable only for crafting gems and other household accessories. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the side of Levi Furiman.

Since the Eye of the Supreme Awakening can be comprehended by any sort of natural element, he was likely futile and vulnerable to deal with it.

Not only that, it was already late for the minds of Sam Smeagel to realized it.

He immediately threw all magic crystals that sprouting near towards them as the result.

Since he already noticed the right eye of the young Supreme Awakener being activated, he instantly comparing it with himself trying to figure out the difference of the power they possessed.

"His Awakening eye still active and intact, yet he's the only one affected by the poison crystal the whole time? What is happening?"

Knowing that fact that among the 4 Persons having inside the dungeon, as well as the time the Eye of the Awakening being activated, only Levi Furiman was the only person suffering from poison, not just the wound he received from the enemies itself. Sam knew that any possessors and Awakeners had been granted some kind of immunity depending on the race and stages that they acquired for the rest of their lives.

As what he believed;

Only Demi-beings and Knightsmen races were the ones having a kind of special immunity, especially when it comes to poison. Jewish-Enochian races were also on par with them when it comes to immunity, but not just as what he expected coming from him.

"Could it be... his weakness?" Sam Smeagel was shocked with disappointment and discouragement towards him as if he couldn't believe a simple kind of trick might affect their raid the whole night that he carefully planned.

Out of his anger and frustrations against him, he scolded Levi with all of his wills, thinking and blaming him for everything he'd done at some point.

But then all of a sudden;

A huge, black magic aura surging towards the place where Levi and others held in. Causing the 3 Administration Personnel to trembled and be terrified of the approaching enemies that were villainously taking their appearances against them.
