Chapter 408 Polva Mana Dungeon Cleared!
"NO! NO!! NO!!!! WHO?! WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY?! WHICH ADVENTURER PARTY ARRIVED HERE FIRST?!"
The leader of Krevar City's second dungeon extermination party, Dodge Simmons, raged upon realizing that the dungeon core was nowhere to be found.
Their party exhausted every resource and risked their lives multiple times, narrowly escaping the enormous jaws of the core's guardian shark, only to discover that another party had already beaten them to it.
Naturally, Dodge's entire group was consumed with fury and disappointment.
Shortly after the Krevar City adventurer party began releasing their negative emotions, the entire dungeon rumbled, and since this wasn't Dodge's first time in a mana dungeon, he knew what was happening.
The dungeon...was collapsing—proof that its core had already been seized by others.
"EVERYONE! GET READY! WE SHALL CHALLENGE THE ADVENTURER PARTY WHO STOLE THE DUNGEON CORE FROM US!"
Exactly one hundred and eighty seconds after a dungeon's core is removed from its original location, the entire dungeon will collapse and vanish, expelling everything that isn't part of it to a spot near its entrance.
This rule only works for mana dungeons though, as Lord Dungeons remain intact even after the death of its Lord.
...Preparing to return to Balkrow City alone, Shye was surprised to see adventurers materializing out of thin air one after another, filling the barren landscape with nearly three hundred people.
The dungeon's entrance then slowly collapsed and dissipated into blue mana particles, returning every bit of mana it stole back to the area.
Soon after, life returned to the barren area.
Vitality returned to withered trees and the soil, which had already dried up, returned to its original loamy state, allowing both people and wildlife to live in the area once more.
Of course, this transformation also took place in the three towns and five villages whose territories had previously become uninhabitable.
"I-It's fine. I managed to make it out in one piece anyway..."
***
Three weeks later.
As the proud sun descended from its heavenly throne, the biting darkness of the night began to consume the entire world once more.
Luckily, before absolute nightfall, the party of slightly dejected young adventurers was able to return to their home city.
"Sigh...at least I'll be able to sleep well tonight..." Ulfreign sighed, going his own way shortly after.
Since their extermination party failed to conquer the dungeon first, all of them, except for Shye, were lost in their thoughts.
Hence, some of them didn't even say anything before splitting from the party.
"Sigh...Again, I apologize for my shortcomings, Crowley. I'll do better next time."
Slightly dejected, Luna went her own way as well.
Honestly speaking, Shye liked Luna's personality; hence, he decided to share the rewards with her.
As for the other bastards? They can only dream of having a share of the rewards for clearing the Polva Mana Dungeon.
Walking towards the inn he usually stayed at, Shye whistled a merry tune. Then, upon arriving, he ate a quick meal in the hotel's lobby before tucking into his luxurious hotel bed.
'Hahaha! I wonder how many of them would complain in front of our guild after knowing the truth? Ahhh...I can't wait to see their faces...'
