Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 466 - 431 The Sky Cracked

The loud noise in the sky was like a mirror being shattered.

The sound of shattering was piercing and crisp.

Kane looked at the sky at this moment.

The original sky was orange-yellow like it was on fire, with pitch-black clouds occasionally blocking the sunlight, reflecting strange hues.

However, now a large crack appeared in the sky, spanning the entire sky, and directly above Kane, there was a hole like a smashed mirror.

An apocalyptic sky in itself suddenly had a huge void, behind which was a thick white mist.

And the shattered fragments turned into red raindrops, falling downward.

Kane was all too familiar with this scene; it happened more than a year ago when he experienced the second dungeon and it was still a solo dungeon.

He had extremely bad luck encountering such a scene.

When the dungeon is about to be completely invaded by mist, the last wave of explorers may face the dungeon’s backlash.

The shattering sky is the best warning.

At that time, all the explorers’ enemies will gain comprehensive enhancement.

As the sky’s damage becomes more severe, it indicates that the dungeon is about to be completely invaded and swallowed by the mist.

Just as life faces death, many lives will resist hysterically regardless of danger.

Commonly known as taking someone down with them.

The dungeon is no different.

Once the shattering begins, as it gets more severe, Kane and their enemies will grow stronger.

What a tough situation.

Why did I have to mess with those dice?

The worst luck causing such an unfortunate event means that when I was rolling the dice earlier, the luck must have been through the roof.

Why would such overflowing luck make me roll a four on black dice?

It’s because the Angel Dice is unaffected by anything, including luck.

Sigh!

Seeing the ruby lapel pin on his collar trembling non-stop, Kane didn’t need to think to know it must be Kreya and the others.

They must be seeing this for the first time, right?

Connect the call.

"Kane, did you see that? The sky."

"Kane, Kane, the sky has cracked, Lilulu sensed the mist’s presence."

"Good buddy, the sky’s shattered, what’s going on now?"

As soon as Kane connected, several voices came through simultaneously, intertwining with each other, and he immediately comforted them, "Don’t panic, don’t panic."

"It’s just that the dungeon is about to be fully consumed by the mist, didn’t Kreya’s mother mention it before? The dungeon’s energy is nearly depleted, that’s why we’re in such a rush to get here."

After his words of reflection, he waited a bit before Kreya and the others’ voices came through again.

"So, this scene is the dungeon’s last counterattack?"

"Amazing!"

"Good buddy, how come you know so much about this?"

When Longbei asked the question, the ruby lapel pin fell silent again.

I know it so well, of course, because I’ve been through it, Kane thought.

Didn’t I mention it before?

"Didn’t I say it before?"

"Say what?"

"?"

Hearing the group’s confusion from the ruby lapel pin side, it seemed he’d indeed never talked about this with them.

"You all should hurry back, I’ll talk to you more when you return."

After Kane finished speaking, he hung up the call.

However, just at that moment, the room door suddenly opened.

Two ghost maids rushed in with Mimina, their expressions seemingly very frantic.

Then several large blobs of black mist rushed in, solidifying into the forms of Kallen and others, surrounding Kane and examining him.

Milo and Mina ran straight to Kane’s side, clutching his pant leg and looking up at him.

"Kane brother, the sky outside’s broken."

"It’s all sister’s fault for throwing the ball up and breaking the sky."

"How could it be my fault? I just threw the ball up, how could it break the sky? Someone must have broken the sky, it wasn’t me."

Milo loudly refuted her sister and then suddenly burst into tears, "Waaa, Milo didn’t mean to."

Listening to the two sisters’ words, Kane frowned. How could they see this scene?

Kane had checked references before; creatures of the dungeon couldn’t perceive the sky shattering.

He looked up at Rosalie and those around him like Kallen.

"You all can see it too?"

The masked girl nodded.

Rosalie walked over and said, "Yes, Master, we can also see the cracks in the sky, what do we do?"

So, can all Spirits of Freedom see it?

Are Milo and Mina also Spirits of Freedom? If both of them are, then what about Bonona?

It seems that when Bonona returns, a proper chat is in order.

Thinking this, Kane looked up at them and said, "It’s alright, don’t worry, the sky cracking is a normal phenomenon."

"Huh?" Hearing Kane’s statement, Rosalie’s eyes turned into beads, looking dumbfounded, "The sky’s... cracked, and that’s a normal phenomenon?"

Kane looked at her, nodded seriously and solemnly, "Yes, it’s a normal phenomenon, don’t worry about it."

Hearing Kane’s words, Rosalie nodded, pondering, and said: "Is this what the world looks like after freedom?"

Kallen, wearing a white mask, looked at the two of them. Beneath the mask, her eyes had already turned to dead-fish eyes.

No, this is completely abnormal.

......

The next day.

In the orange-yellow sky, the scorching body rose as usual.

The only change was the huge gap in the sky and the crack that spanned the entire firmament.

That strange sight was like looking in the mirror every morning and suddenly finding a piece of it cracked and a fragment fallen out.

But it still didn’t affect the drifting of clouds, the rising of the sun, or the still orange-yellow hue of the sky.

Just like a cracked mirror, it could still be used if one didn’t mind.

In a drunken dream, Kane listened to the noises coming from outside and couldn’t help but open his eyes.

As Kane opened his eyes and got up.

Rosalie’s voice immediately came from outside the door.

"Is the master awake? Do you need me to help you dress?"

Hearing the voice from outside the door, Kane refused with a head full of black lines, "No need!"

When Kane got dressed and was washing up in the single bathroom, Rosalie’s voice came from outside again.

"Does the master need assistance with washing up?"

"No one does!"

Kane, with a mouthful of toothpaste foam, shouted loudly.

At this moment, one could see a white lantern hanging outside the door, and Rosalie’s voice came from inside.

After being refused by Kane, one could see inside a flickering white flame that flashed a despondent expression.

Unable to serve the master in getting up and dressing, truly a maid’s faux pas.

Kane helplessly rinsed his mouth with clear water inside the room.

Rosalie is usually fine.

Always asking if she can serve when Kane was not accustomed to being served.

If Kreya heard this.

The red lion’s phantom might appear again.

When Kane was fully dressed and opened the door.

The lantern at the door transformed into Rosalie’s figure, following behind Kane.

Kane didn’t need to turn his head, he knew Rosalie was behind him.

"Is it so noisy outside because Kreya and the others have returned?"

"Yes, Master."

Kane nodded.

As Kane and the others walked downstairs, they happened to see Kreya and the others come in.

Bonona looked up at Kane.

Of course, Kane knew what Bonona meant by looking at him and said, "Mimina should be sleeping in the room upstairs, let Larissa take you."

As the words were spoken, a blue lantern floated down the stairs, then transformed into a Ghost Maid, it was Larissa, who was responsible for taking care of Mimina.

Kane looked at the somewhat tired faces of Kreya and the others and asked, "What’s wrong? Do you want to go and rest in your rooms for a while? You’ve traveled for so long, you must be tired."

Hearing Kane’s words, Kreya pointed at the sky outside the window: "But the crack in the sky..."

"It’s fine, go rest now, we can talk once you’ve slept well, there’s no rush now."

Kane said as he came beside Kreya, sniffing her.

"Hmm, hmm, although Kreya smells nice, after such a long journey, there’s bound to be some odor."

Hearing Kane’s words, Kreya’s ears instantly went red: "That’s because... that’s because there’s no clean water source..."

Kane held Kreya’s hand and smiled: "I know, that’s why you need a good bath, rest, isn’t it?"

While flirting, Longbei and the others silently left, returning to their rooms to rest.

After all, no one wants to be a dog.

"Alright, go on then."

Kane said as he let go of Kreya’s hand, casually giving her a compliment.

"Ah! Hmm."

Kreya was startled by Kane’s sudden action and couldn’t help but cry out.

Then blushed and nodded before quickly heading to her room.

The door opened, she slipped inside, then quickly closed it.

Kane watched with a smile and then looked at his own hand.

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t seen Kreya in several days.

And because Kreya was out on a campaign, Kane hadn’t used the Ruby Lapel Pin to contact her.

Seeing Kreya today stirred an inexplicable emotion.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t normally give out compliments unprompted.

While Kane was thinking, Kreya’s door was suddenly opened slightly.

Eight oil lamps of various colors and patterns floated through the crack.

They were the eight Ghost Maids that went with Kreya to battle.

Did they blend into her body?

Kane opened his Demon Eye to see that the magic power reaction from the oil lamps had reached silver.

Rosalie, behind Kane, seemed to sense the strength of those maids too.

"Oh dear, looks like I’ll have to work hard to keep my title as head maid."
