Chapter 60: Offer...

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Prince Nabu."

Isaac made a courtesy bow.

*Tap*

"Isaac Kent, you have been busy these past couple of months." (Dr. Fate)

Dr. Fate landed on the ground and moved closer to Isaac and Giovanni.

"I'm just a victim of the circumstances."

Isaac jokingly responded.

"Perhaps..." (Dr. Fate)

He just stared directly into Isaac's eyes.

[Mental interference nullified]

(Oh, he wanted to read my mind, huh.)

"Why don't you ask me directly?"

Isaac spoke with ridicule in his voice.

"Nabu, Kent, I brought Isaac here because I consider him a friend and I trust his character." (Giovanni)

Giovanni connected the dots when Isaac spoke; he didn't like it, and it was visible with the stern tone that Giovanni used to speak to Dr. Fate.

Dr. Fate just looked at Giovanni, then looked at Isaac again.

"Very well, tell me Isaac Kent, what is your goal?" (Dr. Fate)

His tone softened a little.

"My goal, huh, I think, is very simple: I want to protect this planet, his people, magic, reality, and everything that I hold dear."

"Ha, ha, you really are..." (Giovanni)

This was the first time that Giovanni heard about the motives behind his actions.

"And for that, I need allies that could help me protect everything; after all, there's only so much that I can accomplish alone."

*Nod*

Giovanni nodded to that statement. He knew how difficult it is to fight alone, but with a team, you can do so much more.

Giovanni looked at Dr. Fate; he was staring intensely at Isaac without saying a word.

"Very well, Isaac Kent. I will not interfere with your plans, but remember The Lords of Order and I will keep an eye on you and your people." (Dr. Fate)

"I have a better idea, Prince Nabu."

"Huh?"(Dr. Fate)

This time, Nabu was caught off guard.

"I also came here for the opportunity to formally invite you and Mr. Nelson to my academy as professors."

"Hmm..."(Dr. Fate)

{Hey, that isn't a bad idea, isn't it? That way we can observe better and maybe solve our recent problem}(Kent Nelson)

Dr. Fate had a recent problem; the man known as Kent Nelson was dying.

He has at most 6 years left to live, so this invitation could resolve his most imminent problem: choosing and training a successor to the helmet of fate.

"Think about it, the both of you. My school will start recruiting next year, so there's plenty of time."

I have been leveling up with the week and daily quests in these couple of months, but it is not enough. I guess it is time for me to complete the expert dungeons.

(But first, let's see if there's any new artifact on the shop.)

"This..."

[Do you wish to purchase the Chaos Molir Ring?]

"Yes"

[Funds: 2,495,000] (↓6,000,000)

 

[Confirmed, the item has been sent to the inventory]

"Good, let me put it on."

The ring was made of a strange material that, even with my appraisal, I couldn't identify. Its appearance was silver in color with a blood red gem in the middle. Inside the gem, you could see energy moving in circles like the eye of a hurricane.

I put the ring on my middle finger in my right hand, and as soon as I put it on, my mind felt refreshed, like I just woke up from a good nap.

"Now let's buy the key."

[Dungeon Keys]

[Expert Dungeons]

[Invasion (Lvl. 50–60)] (50,000)

(Invasion, huh? That sounds like fun.)

[Do you wish to purchase the Invasion Dungeon Key?]

"Yes"

[Funds: 2,445,000](50,000↓)

[Confirmed the item was transferred to the inventory.]

I pull out the key...

"Ivory, please create a door."

[Yes master]

On one of the walls of the tower, the outline of a door started to appear, and in a couple of seconds, a door was there.

I approached it, and I put the key in the keyhole, twisting it. The door immediately opened up, and then a bright light engulfed me.


Chapter 61: Invasion (1)

On the outskirts of the continent lies the Kafna Kingdom. This kingdom is renown for its strong military and magical barriers.

For more than 500 years, they had protected their home from invaders, monsters, and other kingdoms.

A while ago, the King of Kafna received a message from his intelligence squat: "A monster horde was going to hit the kingdom.".

Every year, they prepare for this event, some with joy on their faces for the rewards, others with hatred for past experiences, and others with terror from the trauma.

One thing was certain: most of them weren't afraid. The reason they weren't afraid is pretty simple if you look at the layout of the kingdom.

The Royal Capital was in the middle, fortified with magic barriers and a strong stone wall. The rest of the kingdom was expanded outward, putting strategic fortresses along the way, and the further you went from the capital, the more powerful the warriors and barriers became.

Countless soldiers, invaders, and monsters have never seen the capital before they were slayed.

But this time was different. Two days ago, a new piece of intelligence reached the Royal Capital: "The monsters destroyed the first fortress and are advancing to the capital.".

This news brought something that was lost to the Kingdom many years ago: fear.

Due to this, the King ordered a high state of emergency and mobilized his whole army along with his spies to get a better understanding of the situation.

The spies returned with a piece of information: "This time the monsters weren't randomly gathered nor were influenced by a named monster, or a king or lord; no, they were specifically led by demons.".

This piece of news shocked the King. The last demon sighting was 600 years ago, long before the kingdom was even formed, but as a King, he needed to deal with this situation: first put up a defense line to buy time; second, contact the other kingdoms to warn them and to ask for reinforcements.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried, the other kingdoms never answered, not because they wanted his kingdom to perish; no, the reason was because right now they were facing the same problem.

Every kingdom on the outskirts of the continent was facing a massive horde of monsters controlled by demons.

******************************

"I need to wear sunglasses..."

Isaac looked around, having recovered his vision from the bright light that engulfed him a while ago.

"So, where am I?"

He looked to the right, then to the left, at only stone walls with tourches. Then he looked in front of him, and there was a metal door with intriguing patterns on it. Two tourches illuminated this door.

He looked at the floor, and it finally clicked.

"A runic pattern, this is a transfer?, no, teleportation circle, ah, I see this is a scape room, interesting..."

As he stopped to analyze the circle, outside, things were a little more chaotic.

"Hmm?, I hear battle; let's take a closer look."

He moved to the metal door, and with a push...

*Creak*

...the door open.

____________________________

*Giaagh*

*Crack*

*Boom*

"Hold the line!" (Commander)

*Boom*

"No!"(Soldier)

*Splash*

*Slice*

"Ughh.."(Soldier)

"Robert no!..." (Soldier)

Chaos engulfed the fortress. The warriors and mages were trying to repeal the horde, but it was useless. There were too many monsters, and the casualties skyrocketed in no time.

Seeing the situation worsen by the second, the commander didn't have any other option.

"Shit, we need to retreat further, tanks! Make us room, healers on the back, mages prepare to attack!" (Commander)

"Yes sir!" ×50 (Soldiers)

The soldiers left answer; they were originally 5,000 strong, but now only 50 remain.

After carefully making their move, they successfully retreated to the inner parts of the fortress, but they knew that all was lost; the walls would not last, and as for the teleportation room, it was already used by the families and important people.

"Ugh.."

*Huff*

*Sigh*

"Haa, haa..."

Everyone was gathered in the lower part of the fortress, close to the soldier's barracks and teleportation room.

Exhaustion was visible on everyone's faces; they knew as well as he that this was the end; no reinforcements were coming; they were alone.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

And by the sound of it, they will not be alive for much longer.

*Creack*

Suddenly, a sound behind them startled some of the soldiers.

"What's that!?" (Soldier)

"Gather around!" (Commander)

Fearing that monsters or demons had already infiltrated the fortress, they picked themselves up and formed a circle covering the front and back.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

The sound of footsteps put everyone on edge, and soon they saw the one walking towards them.

It was a person, this person was dressed as a mage with an interesting staff; he was walking slowly as if the horde outside wasn't his problem.

"Stop! Who are you!?" (Commander)

_________________________________

(Well, they all seem tired and extremely tense. Hmm, I need more information.)

"My apologies..."

Isaac made a little bow.

"I'm Isaac, a traveling mage; unfortunately, I was caught up in an accident."

*Crash*

"Raaghh!"

Trying to sound sincere, I try to explain further, but something interrupted our introduction.

"Commander, they broke through!" (Soldier)

In front of us a couple of metal doors were busted open by a strange animal.

(That's...no way... it's a...)

"Shit, a minotaur, tanks!" (Commander)

As soon as the commander spoke, a line of tanks was formed in front of the minotaur.

"Healers!"(Commander)

Now the healers formed behind them.

"Oh, Great Goodess, grant us your protection in this time of Need:[Major Protection]"(Healers)

(Hmm?, a chant?, interesting...)

A golden light engulfs the tanks right when the minotaurs started charging into them.

*BANG*

The line successfully stopped the charging of the minotaur.

"Mages!"(Commander)

A dozen mages put their staffs in front of them.

"[Great Fire Ball]"

"[Incinerate]"

"[Hell Fire]"

They started firing all kinds of spells, mostly fire-related ones.

(Hmm, so he's weak against fire.)

I pointed at him with my staff.

"[Flaming Skull]"

*Giiagh*

From the tip of my staff, a magic circle formed and a scarlet-red flame skull launched itself into the minotaur.

*Bang*

"Huuuaggh!"

As soon as my spell touched the skinn of the monster, its hole body ignited into the same scarlet flame.

*Tssi*

It only took a couple of seconds for the body to be reduced to ashes.

"...."

Everyone turned their heads to look at me, shocked, clearly visible on their faces.

"What?"
