"So, Undead bloods can be use in a lot of stuff, purifying stuff, curing curse, killing vampires and werewolves, even used as a foul magic main ingredients…also, the blood quality and prices depends on the monsters rank, even 10ml of the lowest rank zombie blood cost 1 gold….is that what you were saying?..".
"Yes…".(Bar)
The draining process already done by now, Bar and Rafaela was in the process of storing all the 30 blood bags (30 Liter). the Zombie lord is still alive but barely as it's body was nothing more than a skin sack.
"Then why aren't you collecting the bloods back then?…we killed almost 20 zombies on our way here…that's 600 liter at least, we just let 1 platinum and 800 thousand gold coins flying out of our hands….
Realizing how much money I could get by just draining bloods and how much I just lost, it made me depressed.
"It's okay my Lord, I will personally oversee such matter won't repeat again..".(Elijah)
Massaging my shoulder Elijah assured my worries.
"Thanks, Okay let's pack up and ready to move..we still have a few hours before the nightfall….(T.A.S is the dungeon monster reset every night?..)".
[No, it's only reset every 1 week..Normal monster was the only thing that can re spawn, Lord, treasures and other's wont…].(T.A.S)
That was kinda sad, I was hoping this place would be my ATM, hearing what T.A.S said was a bummer, I need to killed the Warden@Lord@Anchor, but if the anchor was killed so is the dungeon. That's means I can only collect bloods in just one run.
"Guuuuoooooo....".(Zombie Lord)
Listless growl comes out from the zombie lord as I twist my sword and decapitate it's head and cut opened it's body from it's waist up to it's neck.
"That is one large cores…owh, it's been awhile since I saw this thing..there's 2 of them..".
Embed inside the chest was the Zombie Lord green cores and 2 deep blue crystal shards.

"Now that's neat…I guess beating this guy were probably thanks to my fighting knowledge and my swords…if I got hit by it's attack just now, I probably seriously injured by now…well I guess it's stupidity was also make this much easier..".
Seeing no one sees what I just got, immediately crushed both skills shards with my bare hand. Instantly I felt a surge of warm air run through my hand and through my whole body, at the same times my senses sharpened, my eyes can see clearly, I can hear Elijah heartbeat (Even though she was 30meter way from me and standing near the door), It felt like I just got a spider sense. It was quite uncomfortable at first, but after standing still for a full 2 minutes, I managed to calm myself down and gain control of my whole being.
"Sir, is everything alright?..".(Rafaela)
"Oh..it's nothing, I'm good….is everything ready?..".
"Sir, looks this room has nothing other than that, zombie lord and this corpse…I think we are good to go…wait, sir..it still warm….".(Elijah)
As she was nudging the corpse with her leg, Elijah stunned and kneel to touch the beaver corpse.
"it is….now this is unexpected…looks like the beavers that Paul mentioned were probably still alive…".
"Then we might encounter some of them if we continue downwards…".(Mina)
I actually quite skeptic as to find any living being aside from Paul in here, but seeing such possibilities appeared honestly I'm quite excited, my country needs more populations then I should invite them to live with us.
_______________________________________________________________________________
A few hours ago a group of 4 men left for a breakthrough attempt, which already become somewhat a traditions of this small settlement of Beavers and Mole Clan, 500 years ago the Beavers clan were running away from a big catastrophe, that befall on their land. After wandering for years the Beavers found an enormous dwarven catacombs, there hey meet with a kind hearted Skeleton named Paul, who's allowed them to settle down in the catacombs, he also teach them various knowledge's, after years of receiving the Skeleton Paul kindness the Elder of Beaver clan that time decided to repay the Skeleton Paul Kindness with a oath, to cleanse the Catacombs and release him from his curse.
It was hard, fighting an undead who's several fold stronger than average Beaver, but Beaver clan is a dedicated people and honor bound people, Beaver clansmen were also agile and very adaptable people. They are the prideful Shinobi, since direct confrontation were deemed impossible to them they learn to use the environment to their advantage, once a proud masterful builder clan, turn to a deadly shadows killers. But their advanced were cut short, as the final lord was proof to be immortal, assault after assault the lord stays strong but the beavers losing more and more of their members.
After 30 years of trying the Beavers clan resource and people starts to dwindle, from the proud 2000 members slowly dwindle to 300 people, after 33 years they decide to retreat, but upon reaching the 3rd floor from the 14th floor the battered beaver clan encounter another lord who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, the disturbing discoveries halted their escape attempts, desperate, they tried rush through but instead of breaking away, they got massacred, the only thing they can do is retreated back into the dungeon and their numbers falls to 30 people.
The Beavers stuck and trapped inside the never ending infested dungeon that becomes stronger and stronger everyday, without fighter the survivor of woman and child of Beaver clan retread deeper to the dungeon, and eventually found themselves in the safe haven of the dead end corridors of the 10th floor. Then fast forward another 30 years, he beavers found themselves a new allies who shared the same stranded fate as them, the Mole clan, who is a carefree clan that found their way inside the catacombs after, running (Digging) away from Humans Slaughter.
Since then both of the clan exist in harmony, Mole clan who excels in digging and Slime breeder become the supporting roles, while Beaver who excels at fighting become the guardian, ever since then both clans has plan various way to escape the dungeon but failed, digging a tunnels was impossible as they only encounter waters, fighting were useless as there's a Lord on both end. It was despairs all the way for both of the clan, but they still hopeful to once again see the sun on the land.
"Elder…..We have failed again….Yosu, has fallen..".(Sasu)
Wounded and battered, Sasu the leader of shinobi squad knelled in front of the Matriarch of Beavers Clan.
"Hah~poor Yasu…as long as you guys back alive, it's already enough for me….Sasu, bring your comrade to rest for tonight we will resume the council tomorrow…".(Matriarch Kasuma)
"As you wish Matriarch..".(Sasu)
Dejected, Sasu left the Matriarch tent and headed for the healer tent.
"Kasuma…this is our 6067th attempt for the last 100 years….it pained me to admits that probably it is our fate to be trapped in here for eternity…". (Elder Mikhail)
Elder Mikhail is the Mole clan Elder, Massaging the bridge of his nose as he contemplates on their fates .
"Probably….probably my friend…". (Matriach Kasuma)
There's no use hiding the despairs, the fact was clear Kasuma was the oldest among the 290 people in this safe hallway. With her bone staff, Matriach Kasuma stand up and exits the tent, and looked at the 100meter hallway that filled with small makeshift tents made from slime fabrics, she sighs at the scene of her people stuck in such miserable fate, wondering if the way out is never really in their grip.
"HEEELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!..".
A loud echoes vibrated the hallway, everyone were shocked by it, all the Beavers and Mole adult comes out from their tents with all kind of bones weapons in their hands.
Even Kasuma and Mikhail were shocked by the sound, because they knew that undeads never speaks, it can only growl. When something speaks that's means it was a survivor, although they should be happy, they can't because the voice speaks the language that they knows very well, which is the Humans.
