Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 822 713: The Sought Dungeon Will

At this moment, Kane stood in front of the Gate of Two Realms, letting magic power flow through his hands into the colorful gemstone before him.

A head-sized colorful gemstone floated in front of Kane's chest.

As the magic power surged in, it emitted a continuous glow, absorbing the magic power and converting it within.

Sister Lulu flapped her wings, waving her magic wand, controlling the magic power to carve something on the door frame.

One could only see his magic power transformed into a carving needle, etching intricate and complex patterns along the huge door frame's edge.

And the magic power surged in along this carving needle.

The magic power inside the Treasure Bead transformed into a ribbon, flying into Sister Lulu's body.

Replenishing the frantically consumed magic power within her.

Carving the entire Gate of Two Realms is a massive project; Sister Lulu's magic power is certainly not enough, so Kane and the others needed to provide external support.

Moreover, if you looked carefully beneath Kane's feet, there was a metal platform, etched with square patterns.

These patterns joined together, forming a magic pathway that created a kind of transparent vortex.

Gathering the magic power in the air here, enhancing the surrounding magic strength, giving them a significant boost whether in controlling magic or recovering magic power.

And Kreya and the other three were already resting nearby, recovering their depleted magic power.

Because they were drained by Sister Lulu.

Only Kane remained resilient, seemingly expressionless, with hardly any sweat.

No choice, Kane's magic power always held an extremely leading position among those of the same level.

Even in terms of magic power, those a level higher than Kane might not necessarily have more than he does.

Of course, this comparison refers to those explorers in normal circumstances.

This alone is enough to show just how exaggerated Kane's magic power is compared to others.

No choice, Kane lived off his vast magic power.

The more magic power, the faster the recovery, allowing Kane to deal more damage and accomplish more tasks.

Since the Copper level, Kane's strength has essentially correlated with the total amount of magic power within him.

Every leap in magic power was a leap in Kane's strength.

Even upon reaching the Gold level and comprehending rules, magic power still remained an indispensable foundation for Kane.

However, with the rules, Kane could unleash greater power using the same amount of magic power.

Finally, after Kane had consumed 2/3 of his magic power, Sister Lulu finished her carving, exhausted, floating down into Kane's hands.

"Ah, Sister Lulu is exhausted. Sister Lulu wants to eat cake, wants to eat the Fruit Feast Cake personally made by Sister Lulu at the Gold level."

Speaking in such detail, it seemed like she had thought of it long ago.

As she spoke, she rolled around, acting spoiled in Kane's hand, shouting.

Kreya walked over and tapped her head with a finger.

"Alright, alright, I'll make it for you when we get back."

Upon hearing this, Sister Lulu instantly became energetic, flew up to hug Kreya's neck, and even kissed her face.

"Kreya is the best."

At this moment, Kane suddenly furrowed his brows, turned abruptly, a crystal Long Spear appearing in his hand.

Seeing this action, everyone instantly entered combat readiness, with weapons and armor on their bodies in an instant.

"Who!?"

Kane questioned; he sensed a strong energy body behind him.

The emitted power threat made his hair stand on end.

If it weren't for his instinctual use of Divine Gaze periodically, he might not have discovered it.

"You truly are impressive. It's only been a few years since I last saw you, and your strength has already risen to such a level?

As expected of one whom the Mist had a dialogue with."

With the sound, a figure became visible.

Looking at this figure, Kane instantly recalled who it was, then put away his weapon.

Kreya and the others also put away their weapons, remaining alert but somewhat relaxed.

This was the figure in a dark green and black intersecting magic robe, with shadows extending from the robe holding a white bone staff.

The top of the bone staff was a pure white skull, with eye sockets emitting a captivating dark green light.

And beneath the robe was not a human body but a black mist-like figure.

Only at the hood could one see the scarlet eyes flashing within the black mist-shaped objects.

This was once, when Kane and others were being promoted to Silver, the Copper Dungeon they encountered.

At that time, upon reaching the Snow Mountain Peak, they entered the space to see the Dungeon Will.

Within less than a year after, that dungeon had formally been passed through and entered the World Ring.

The crystal Long Spear in Kane's hand had accompanied him from his Silver phase to now.

It was precisely this Dungeon Will that gave it to him as a so-called "deposit."

It is rumored that during the World Ring, it required Kane and the others to help him with a task.

From this, you can see how generous and affluent this Dungeon Will was.

Kane was about to complete 12 months in the dungeon, nearly a year.

Near the end of the year, this person finally came to find Kane, who had almost forgotten about it.

He used Divine Gaze to examine the black shadow before him.

Indeed, the feedback confirmed it had reached the three-color level.

A Copper Dungeon's World Will possessing three-color strength?

Similarly, as a former will of the Copper Dungeon, Cobok's strength was only at the mid-level of gold rank.

The gap between them is quite large.

From gold to tri-color, it's even more outrageous than from copper to gold.

In thought, Kane recalled that the dungeon he had once cleared was a Silver-level red-mark dungeon.

All the monsters inside were undead, and he was a necromancer.

This means those monsters might have all been summoned by him, and he was the only living being in the entire dungeon.

During chats back then, it was mentioned that he became the dungeon will because he was too powerful.

In contrast, Cobok, in the former dungeon, due to not being strong enough, only had half the authority as his bodily defects.

In this light, it's not surprising that this dungeon will has the strength of tri-color.

"So it's you, long time no see." Kane said with a smile.

Although Kane and his team had only seen this former dungeon will once and for a short period, he indeed left a very deep impression on them.

Then he asked, "Appearing before us now, does it mean it's time for us to help you?"

Saying this, he waved the Crystal Long Spear in his hand.

The shadow nodded.

"I'm here to find you now because it's time for your help. Don't worry, the reward after success will not disappoint you."

"Of course, what I need help with is definitely within your capability."

Hearing his words, Kane nodded, "No problem, though this doesn't seem like the place for a discussion."

"Come with us."

The shadow nodded.

So Kane and his team led the shadow to their residence outside the City of Two Realms.

Along the way, Kane noticed the passersby did not seem to focus on the unusual figure behind them.

Is there some sort of invisibility magic?

Then they all sat by the couch in the living room, beginning a formal conversation.

"I haven't formally introduced myself, have I? Let me introduce myself."

He gestured to himself with a hand made of black mist.

"I'm a necromancer, my name is Facundo Alpeng, you can call me Facundo."

After saying this, he extended his hand, completely composed of black mist, with black aura wafting and swirling around it like gas.

"As you see, I am not in a normal body now, but composed of black mist energy."

"These black substances are actually protecting my soul, which has left the body, severing the connection with it."

"A severed connection?" Kane was a bit puzzled and asked, "Did you abandon it yourself, or was it due to some irresistible force that you had to abandon it or couldn't return to your body?"

Hearing Facundo say this, the reason they might need their help became apparent.

After all, Facundo wouldn't explain the abnormality of his body for no reason.

"It wasn't by my choice, to say it was due to bad luck on my part."

With this, he began recounting how he lost his body.

The group listened intently, as this reason might be why Kane's team had to help him.

"In my world, I was a soon-to-be-god ascension demigod."

"As a necromancer, I first ascended my soul to godhood, then began altering my former shell into a divine body."

At this point, though Kane and his team couldn't see his expression beneath the black mist, they could sense a certain resignation.

He continued, "I placed my body on a magic device, continually seeking materials to enhance and repair it.

Being a necromancer, especially an ascended necromancer, I had considerable knowledge about repairs, meticulously crafting my body, avoiding every flaw, striving for perfection."

Here, his pride was palpable.

However, this feeling lasted only a moment before he fell into a certain gloom.

"But then misfortune struck, while I was away from my body, searching for materials."

…

"The world was destroyed? The world was destroyed at this moment!?"

"Without warning, my homeland, my world, shattered."

His voice, starting calm, began to fluctuate, revealing his state of mind.

"Then my soul severed connection with my body, and I was forced to stay in a deserted area, captured by the Mist, becoming the will of this fragment."

"In fact, I must thank the Mist; had it not captured the fragment of this world, I might have turned into nothingness, drifting in the void."

With this, he retrieved a map from his space equipment, which was a map of the current World Ring, though it lacked detailed information, showing only topographic features.

He pointed at a location on the map, marking it.

"As the dungeon will, I had already sensed the location of my body; this is what I wish to negotiate with the Mist."

"However, the Mist refused the transaction, forcing me to approach you who were in the dungeon back then, yet it gave up due to your abilities, only leaving an item, hoping you might surprise me later."

"Your current strength does indeed surprise me."

After saying this, he pointed to that spot on the map, "My body's remains are here."

"I hope you can retrieve my body and bring it to me. I will give you a lucrative reward, it will not disappoint you."

He spoke, his scarlet eyes gazing at them, awaiting Kane and the others' response.

"If you don't want to accept, I understand. I won't take back that crystal weapon either."

"So, what is your answer?"

He awaited the response.
