Chapter 25 - The Dungeon's Dark Region

"So are you all done getting accustomed to your new things" asked Odell smiling

"Ah yeah sorry, we can go now"

"Yeah, but where to now, do we go back"

"No, I don't think we have to… Look over there"

Looking to where Odell pointed to, they saw a passage where the chest was

"Hmm when did that get there"

"I don't remember seeing that when we first got here"

"Me either"

"Maybe it was but the situation didn't call for us to notice it"

"That is true but still I was observant just in case we couldn't go out the way we enter"

"That is odd"

"Odell, did you notice when this passage opened"

"Of course, it happened when you all were busy with sorting out the stuff in the chest"

"What really but we didn't hear anything how come"

"Well, you all were extremely engrossed with your new findings that none of you notice the slight rumbling of the passage being open… I have to say is quite something to say the least"

"Ugh sorry about that, it won't happen again"

"Yeah, it was just too different for us you know"

"Yeah, seeing all this for the first time and maybe out last so we just got a little too distracted sorry about that"

"No, you're all fine I was just intrigued but it was good for you all to get accustomed to your new weapons, but I suggest not showing them off much but if possible, not until you get to the Orb Formation Realm okay"

"You're right we shouldn't be too careless with them but what about the beads"

"With those once you get out of here being absorbing them but it's best you do it somewhere safe and completely secluded just to be safe"

"We don't really know any place after all were not high-ranking members in our guild"

"But shouldn't that make things easier for you"

"You would think that but we're on call a lot so if we don't answer after a certain amount of time then someone might come looking for us and we could get discipline"

"At a guild"

"Yeah it's complicated"

"I see then how about just leave the guild"

"That would be easier said than done"

"Why do you say that"

"Well, if we were to leave the guild, we'll have to pay a guild separation fee"

"A what something stupid like that exists"

"Yeah, how come you don't know about this, most guilds if not have that clause in their contracts"

"Sorry I'm not a part of any guilds or have any knowledge of what goes on within them"

"I see well to say the least it's cost a lot like around four million for the fee with a thirty thousand interest fee"

"What so basically a slave that can't leave unless they could afford to pay for their freedom"

"That's pretty much right sorry to say"

"How pointless, but with the gold you got it should be enough for you all to leave"

"I don't think so I don't think it's enough for all of us to leave"

"You don't think it well be, why"

"It's just that there might be other factors but that's beside the point"

"We will have a hard time getting into another guild because of it"

"Why is that all you going to do is leaving one for another what's so bad about that"

"Loyalty is above all else, so guilds believe in staying with one for life through it all and if we leave"

"It'll look like you're betrayed them"

"Yeah"

"Well, it's doesn't matter I'll help you all out when the time comes so it's okay for you to leave... trust me"

"Hmm why you have already done enough for us, and we can't ask you to do anymore"

"It's fine, it's fine, now that's done, how about we get out of here I wouldn't want to be stuck here"

"Ah yeah you're right, okay everyone let's pack up and go"

"Alright"

"Yes"

"Finally, I hope nothing else happens"

"I'm more concern if it's a way out from here"

"We'll just have to find out don't we"

"That's what I'm afraid to do"

The group of six went through the passage which later took them up some stairs and soon after they came to what looked like an exit from the underground.

"Finally, I thought we'll never get out of there"

"I know while going through the passage we met a number of beasts, and some were stronger than the last"

"Luckily we gain enough experience and strength to defeat them"

"And don't forget about Odell's help too"

"Of course, that's without question"

"We should take a short break before heading out don't know what to expect outside of here"

"I'm hoping nothing as drastic as what we been through so far"

"I second that notion"

"Third"

"I completely agree with that"

[The other mes didn't got anything worth much but the stuff they got will be a much help to Lily, Drew and Cecilia] thought Odell

"Oh, one of my sisters is close by, I wonder what fun stuff she came across" said Odell to himself

"I should let them meet her soon, I can get her to help them with their contracts… wait on second thought I think Ana would be a better choice for what I want…. Hmm I'll probably just send them both... Nothing major should happen I don't think"

After a short break they began to walk out finally as they came into view of nothing but darkness with little light in sight.

"Where are we, don't tell me we're still underground and after all that excitement"

"No, wait, I don't think we're underground anymore don't you feel that slight breeze and smell in the air"

"Yeah, it doesn't smell only like earth anymore but more mix like the outside would be"

"But how come it's so dark"

"I don't know but what's weirder is that I can see fine in it"

"Actually, now that you mention it, I can too"

"Me too"

"I think it goes for all of us"

"That's weird I was never able to see this good in the dark even with help from a skill"

"Yeah, but this is a great thing, we won't have to be super on guard like usual but still be on high alert just in case"

"So where shall we go because it seems this is just as Odell said about the gates connecting and how there was more to the dungeon then we knew"

"Yeah"

"What do you think we should do; we need to find the dungeon boss in order to get out of here but where do we start"

"Hmm that is true"

"How about you Odell, do you have any thoughts on where we should go"

"Hmm actually I do and I know someone who will help"

"Who might that be"

"You'll meet her really soon"

"How soon"

"About now, hey little sis, you brought something interesting I see"
