Chương 36: C-Rank Dungeon (2)
"Woahh! So, this is what a dungeon looks like!" exclaimed a male voice, echoing through the cavernous space.
The dungeon itself looked quite different from what Matthew had expected. It had the familiar cave-like structure, but there were a few wines and crystals scattered around.
"Alright... let's go this direction." Stacy pointed out.
As soon as they entered the dungeon, three huge holes could be seen.
Stacy in particular pointed to the middle one, and then she left as her group followed her behind without questioning her decisions.
Then, the other groups spread out through the holes, but most of them followed Stacy since it was safer.
"Mhm~"
Closing his eyes, Matthew summoned vines from the ground, connecting them to those already present in the dungeon.
Using these as guides, Matthew mapped out the dungeon's layout, tracing a path through the interconnected vines.
After several minutes, the vines reached their end, leaving Matthew with no further exploration options.
"I guess it must have ended in the boss' room. It's a pity the two floors of the dungeon aren't connected with each other."
From what Matthew had seen, the middle entrance of the dungeon was indeed the fastest way to reach it.
So, he directly entered it.
Although Lilian wanted them to experience what it feels like to be in a dungeon, Matthew just casually wanted to see a succubus.
For... search purposes, obviously.
Like... he wants to know what's so special about succubus for men to desire them so drastically.
Are their wombs special or something?
Or is it because they are sex demons and the pleasure is increased tremendously?
Ahem... it's all for search purposes in the end.
Going further into the dungeon, Matthew could see a huge amount of dark ghostly spirits, but none of them did anything to him.
The moment their eyes landed on Matthew, they had completely fallen in "love" with him due to his class' attributes.
They are dark-aligment species, so... Matthew doesn't have any need to kill them.
"Now that I think about it... if I meet a succubus, won't she simply try to seduce me directly?"
"From what I've seen in the library books, a Succubus in love is something pretty dangerous, and they don't mind imprisioning their partner and abusing their body. In other words, something like a Yangire or Yandere."
ROARRR!
A deafening roar reverberated through the cave, accompanied by the sounds of explosions and heavy footfalls.
Before him, about six Lycantropes appeared, fighting intensely against Stacy's group. They were being completely dominated, and now they were running away.
Step, step, step!
Hiikkk!
However, as soon as they saw Matthew, they slowed and approached his foot, bowing down just in front of his legs.
'If I'm now wrong, lycanthropy is a supernatural curse that causes gradual alignment of the body, mind, and soul with the state of any being, turning them into Lycantropes.'
'In other words... they should be something like cursed humans.'
"Damn these wolves! Where did they go!?" Matthew heard a familiar voice and looked up, just to see Stacy's group looking at him.
Their jaws dropped as they saw the lycantropes bowing down to Matthew and hiding behind him as soon as they saw them.
"Matthew... get away from those... disgusting demons." Leon spoke aloud, pointing his sword at Matthew.
"If not, we'll attack you. And don't get all arrogant; after all, all of us have been training very hard! Now, we are definitely stronger than you!"
Hearing Leon's words, Matthew sighed as he crotched down and patted the lycantrope's head with a faint smile.
"...'We'? It's really funny seeing you say something. But at least you know that alone, you'll never be able to beat me." Matthew replied.
'Well, at least I've been abusing the system's power and didn't train properly... I'm still quite powerful.'
'I'm the only normal human that can control [Nether], I also have the most destructive energy [Spade's Paradox], and... I have an Ice-Plant Mutant evolved attribute.'
'Besides that, I also have the attribute Mana Circles, something that defies the concept of the world. Only after the 6th circle can you truly form an attribute mana circle, but somehow, all of my Mana Circles have their own attribute.'
'Not to mention that I have Lua, an extinct species.' Matthew sighed inwardly.
Except for Lua, almost everything came from the [System].
Does he feel bad about it?
Not really, but there's also a tinge of guilt.
Matthew didn't train a lot and got this strength from the system; meanwhile, all those students in front of him worked very hard to get to their level.
They got quests to get money and then to buy resources. They created their own faction with the help of each other, while Matthew simply got one into his hands.
Basically, they should deserve more than they have.
But, of course, nothing is fair.
So, you should use all the opportunities that come your way.
In simple words, you'll need to be selfish if you actually want to get as strong as possible.
Grip...!
Hearing his words, Leon clutched the handle of his sword tightly as he looked at Matthew with blazing eyes.
A faint holy aura enveloped his body as his golden sword shone brightly.
[Ding! Holy Power detected!!]
[All the Dark-aligned creatures around are going to be wary of the people who possess Holy Power.]
Roarrr...!
The Lycantropes's eyes started to shine with killing intent as they looked at Leon, but their true target was truly Stacy, who had the purest form of energy, [Aether].
"Calm down..." Matthew looked at the Lycantropes and quickly brushed his hand against their soft fur.
They immediately calmed down at his movements.
"MATTHEW...!!! What are you doing to those disgusting creatures!!?" Leon gritted his teeth as he asked loudly.
As a prince, he had an absolute hatred for every kind of demonic creature. He should protect his beautiful kingdom from those creatures!
"Shut the fuck up! I'm tired of hearing your fucking voice!!" Matthew retorted angrily.
He enveloped his hand with red mana and waved two of his fingers in a horizontal manner.
THRUMMM!
A blade of red mana was sent towards them, and Leon immediately rose his golden shield and activated one of his skills.
"Holy Light Protection!" A barrir rose, covering him, and he jumped towards the blade of mana, trying to protect his fellow group members.
Or he just wanted to show off to Stacy, ahem.
"Stupid. Didn't I tell you before? You'll never be strong enough to beat me. Besides, I warned you once; if you dare offend me again, your injuries won't be as light as in the practical test."
Crack...!
The barrier around Leon started cracking, but before that could happen, everyone heard a sweet yet familiar voice.
"Holy Barrier!"
Another golden barrier rose, but this time it covered the entire group and even reached out to Leon, who was taking the blade of red energy.
Creaackk!
The sound of the two energies meeting caused a loud, annoying sound to reverberate through the whole floor.
Smoke had risen from the ground, and as it cleared off, everyone could see that Stacy's barrier didn't have a single scratch on it.
"Matthew. May I ask, why are you protecting those... vile creatures?" She stepped in front of Leon and spoke, meeting his gaze.
Her cheerful nature, which Matthew had seen a few weeks ago, had completely changed into a deep, mature, and serious one.
Her aura had become much more confident, and she really had become prettier just like Kennard had mentioned before.
"Do I need a reason to? Can't you see? They somehow like me very much." Matthew smiled as he gently patted the fur of the lycantropes.
Stacy's gaze turned completely cold as she heard his words.
"Besides, if I don't step out, what are you going to do about it?"
