———-

The fifth ground was similar to the opposite flooring, crammed with nothing however lengthy stone hallways, rooms crammed with rotting furnishings, and monster corpses.

And some inexplicable issues Dale could not inform what they have been as a result of years of rotting…

Nonetheless, a couple of issues modified, if the primary room was meant for folks to dwell in, and with every subsequent ground having a unique objective, Dale began to query what this ground’s objective was.

Dale didn’t know the story about these Human skeletons, however he quickly discovered their origin.

“This place is certainly a tomb.”

Throughout him have been holes within the wall the place tombstones may very well be seen protruding.

They have been all properly adorned and it was clear it wasn’t only a plain catacomb, however a high-class graveward.

Every tomb had a rusty steel plate in entrance of it, however attributable to time, Dale couldn’t learn the inscriptions laid in them, so he simply pressed ahead…

/CLACK!/

His first group of enemies have been 3 skeletons similar to the Undead Knight of earlier than.

“3 without delay? …”

Earlier than they may transfer, nonetheless, Dale rushed ahead.

He took out the sword from his again and activated its talent!

/Shine…/

*Glyph Activation 2-Star*

The sword gleamed in faint crimson mild and Dale slashed it in entrance of the group of skeletons…

/SHATCHENG!/

A crimson horizontal wave was launched from the sting of the sword because it reduce by means of the skeletons, slicing their skulls in half.

/Ploft/

The three skeletons fell limp on the bottom, unmoving…

“Phew… This was the primary time I used a Ability on this Dungeon… It was more practical than I imagined.”

‘The issue is the cooldown… The runes on the sword are fairly faint and I suppose I’ve to attend for them to mild up once more, this needs to be the visible trace to me saying the talent is prepared.’

‘I additionally did not really feel something from utilizing it… I’m wondering how excessive is my Mana gauge… Being a HardCore participant is such a ache generally…’

/Cling!/

“Hum?”

For the primary time since he got here into the labyrinth, Dale noticed loot being dropped.

All the things else had been both trash or damaged issues, at most, they are often reused just like the steel on the damaged swords he obtained.

The one factor that was of worth was the expertise, however being sincere, it was slower than doing the quests within the mercenary Guild.

And even when the creatures right here have been extremely leveled, the amount of quests wins over the standard.

“A gauntlet?”

[Southern Wall corps standard gauntlet (Normal) (Broken)

Rating 0.5-Star

+1 Strength

]

“Southern wall?… Is there a wall someplace right here within the south?”

‘It is a damaged merchandise, however maybe there may be somebody within the village that may assist. For now, I will maintain it in my stock.’

‘In the meantime, I will attempt to see if I can get the opposite items as properly…’

‘Even when I can not use it in its present state, it might do wonderful as a collectible or a memento.’

…

The fifth ground was a lot easier than its counterparts, it was completely organized into areas with a sequence of coffins embedded into the partitions.

Usually, every space would have a couple of skeleton knights wandering inside, and Dale quickly discovered they have been coming from.

They crawled out from contained in the coffins, however only some seemingly got here again to life.

Additionally, not each coffin would create a skeleton, as Dale tried to open it solely to see that the skeleton inside it was fully wonderful, even the armor it had was higher.

He got here to grasp that solely the skeletons that have been involved with the miasma for an extended would stand up and transfer round…

If he had extra time, Dale would’ve tried to open as many coffins as he may to get their loot, however now, any minute was treasured, so he left dejectedly.

Apart from, till he discovered extra concerning the place, it might be higher to not contact these our bodies, else he might offend one of many NPCs.

Following the format of this Dungeon, he quickly arrived in entrance of two barely open, giant steel doorways.

From between them, he may see darkish water slowly working all the way down to the catacombs, forming a small river that led deeper into unexplored areas.

“That is… Concentrated Miasma… It is nearly like a small fucking river…”

‘The supply… That is getting out of hand, although its to be anticipated that the hunt merchandise can be in probably the most unhinged of places…’

Trying down on the darkness hidden behind the doorways, Dale gulped laborious.

He grabbed one of many doorways, standing behind it, and pulled, he wasn’t dumb sufficient to remain in the course of them and push them apart, leaving himself open for assaults.

/CREAAK!/

With a loud creaking noise, the door opened and huge quantities of Liquid miasma drained into the fifth ground, pushing them open totally with the energy of a Dam.

[DING]

[DING]

Because of the thick miasma within the air, Dales’ afflictions shortly rised…

“Shit…”

Dale shortly took an antidote and drank it, grabbing onto the door as he tried to stay above floor to the touch as little water of the water as he may.

After 2 minutes, every part was drained away.

/Splat!/

Dale dropped onto the moist floor, and the second he was about to launch a breath of reduction…

[Your quest has been updated]

“No fucking means!”

‘Dammit! I misplaced half-hour similar to that?! What if I had lower than that? Would that be an prompt loss?’

“Shit, I ought to’ve gone again after I may… However then once more, I’d’ve in all probability killed an NPC since I doubt these previous males can resist this shit…”

Dale began to run inside, uncaring about how harmful it was.

If the village died, so would his sport, it might take a really very long time to achieve one other village, and by that point, he would’ve misplaced loads if not all of his benefit.

And that’s within the uncommon occasion he did arrive at one other village, as his base stats have been really beneath this village’s common degree.

So if he have been to fail now, think about the problem of the areas round it…

He might even lose his character…

/Splat!/

Dale ultimately arrived at a big illuminated room. Faint specks of sunshine seemingly coming from nowhere illuminating this in any other case darkish room.

The room was fairly massive, and every part was centered round a single centerpiece, which was the stone coffin on prime of a small pedestal.

It appeared grand but easy, an oblong coffin with some rusty metallic particulars and a big sword lodged into the bottom behind it.

Be it the pillars, the work, every part, all of it was centered round that.

Nonetheless, attributable to this place having been drenched in Miasma, loads of issues have been now corroded…

Although, surprisingly, the sword appeared wonderful.

There have been a number of different tombs lodged into the partitions, and every of them appeared to be of maximum high quality… They seemingly belonged to folks of esteemed standing for the soldiers of the Southern Corps…

A minimum of, they’d’ve been in the event that they weren’t damaged and rusty.

Nonetheless, what obtained Dale’s consideration wasn’t the structure of the place, however the unusual ball of flesh floating within the air atop the middle tomb.

It was releasing a skinny however concentrated stream of one thing onto it…

It was darkish but it surely had a crimson hue…

It was definitely the Miasma Dale had been cursing all this time!

As such, he instantly realized he wasn’t supposed to the touch that or the small pool beneath it it doesn’t matter what…

“Is that it? The ominous ball of flesh that’s giving me the creeps? Is that what I have to maintain?…”

‘Although… How?’

However simply when Dale dropped his guard to consider this, the ball of flesh contracted like a beating coronary heart…

And a voice performed in his head:

[‘It’ is staring into you]

/KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!/

It launched an agonizing sound, sending Dale to his knees in ache!

“ARGGGGG! FUCK!!”

/KiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII/

The sound remained for a couple of moments till Dale raised his head, his eyes have been hole and despair was written on his face…

[Stable Emotions 1-Star has activated]

[Fighting Spirit 0.5-Star has been forcefully activated]

[Your focus returns…]

For a second, Dale felt as if one thing was mistaken, and he punched the bottom with all he had, creating a big crack as he pressured himself up.

/BAM!/

Nothing appeared to occur, and at the same time as felt as if he broke his hand, Dale laughed drily.

As a result of he had recovered his sanity.

[DING]

[You overcame the fear of gazing into the Abyss and recovered your sanity through sheer will]

[Stable Emotions 1-Star -> 2.5-Star]

[Fighting Spirit 0.5-Star -> 2-Star]

[‘It’ interest in you is rising]

[You have attained a new tale]

[Disclaimer, it has been noted that the HardCore Player has suffered major damage for the first time, help shall be provided]

[Your hand and fingers are broken, seek medical attention else it may leave permanent damage…]

However Dale heard none of it.

“Haaa… Haaa…”

Respiration closely, Dale raised his head yet one more time, however this time, one thing pushed it down.

One thing chilly… One thing heavy…

It grasped the again of his head, and as if it had taken ahold of his strings, Dale couldn’t transfer his physique.

“You bought fortunate, do not get cocky child.”

He tried to look behind him in haste, however his physique was paralyzed.

“See? Your physique has already reacted to the hazard however you might be so sluggish that now you’ll be able to’t even management it anymore…” The voice stated in faint mockery

“Breathe out and in, settle down first.”

Dale tried to look down, and amidst the darkish water on the bottom, he noticed a mirrored image, his personal face, along with one thing else…

“!”

At that second, Dale noticed a large finger coming from the darkish shadows of the room urgent down on his head,

It gave him the deepest of chills.

No matter was behind him wasn’t Human, it was one thing else solely…

“I guess you might be right here for that proper?… It has been a very long time since I noticed somebody. I simply assume it is a disgrace we’ve so little time.”

The finger on prime of his head slowly moved away, into the darkish.

“Child, in case you can hear me and also you want to keep alive, then you definately higher transfer.”

“See that sword on the altar? Seize it and reduce that factor down, easy sufficient do not you assume? Simply be certain that to…”

However the voice disappeared, being changed by the low sound of water falling into the bottom.

He raised his head a bit, the one factor in his imaginative and prescient was the shining sword subsequent to the tomb.

He felt it was calling for him.
