[ What? Why are none of you responding? Do you guys truly want to let go of this golden chance of getting stronger?]
The tone of the dungeon was getting more and more anxious, and Ray and co really started to believe that there was something wrong with this dungeon.
" Humph, do you think the great me would need something like external power? I am not that low to bow my head to an unknown existence like you." The Mahkota's heir said with a grumpy voice that Ray couldn't help but want to raise a thumbs up.
Indeed, even though this guy was pretty annoying and prideful, they were lucky that he was not the kind of power-hungry and wicked person.
And now, since one of them had clearly rejected his offer, the dungeon's focus was shifted on the other three.
" Nah, I'm good."
" Umm, if your power is that rats, then I don't want it. They look so ugly."
Ray's simple rejection had made the dungeon dumbstruck, but Elin's words were the ones that made the dungeon felt like spitting some blood from its mouth.
What do you mean by ugly? Don't you know there are so many people out there who wanted my power? The dungeon cursed inwardly, but no matter how he cursed inwardly, he didn't believe that the decision of the two would change. Thus, his only hope was placed on Ellen.
" Well, I don't really intend to take the inheritance, but could you hear a deduction of mine?"
" Actually, from the start, I was pretty curious about the theme of this dungeon. Most dungeon in this world has a theme on it that corresponded to the country's heritage. Like the mummy dungeon in Egypt, the hero's tomb in England, or even the samurai's burial in Japan. And only in this dungeon, I feel that the theme was pretty absurd. Bravery, Wisdom, Strength and intelligence, I couldn't help but wonder how those four topics related to our country."
" But now, I seem to understand a bit about this dungeon. One thing that could be greatly associated with our country, that is corruption. If I'm not wrong, the name of this dungeon was the dungeon of guilt and ideals. Those four topics were the thing needed for an ideal ruler, and the name guilt was because eventually, everyone that came into this dungeon fell into depravity."
" The trial of the rats was like a symbol to the situation of our country. The four trial winners were the leader or governor, the people we needed to protect behind us were the mass of this country, and the rats represented the corrupt official. The word that if you can't beat them, then join them also represents that every part of this country's leadership would eventually fall into corruption. And all of this represent yourself, right? You are an ex-governor of this country which fall into corruption, Am I right?"
What a lengthy explanation that was worthy of Ellen.
In fact, other than Ellen, none of the other three think about these kinds of things as they only focused on their survival.
However, seeing that the dungeon suddenly becomes silent, it looks like Ellen's conjunction was correct.
[ Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up!]
[ What do you know about me! I have put my best for this country, but in the end, everyone just pushed me around and defamed me as a corruptor! This country, it doesn't worth to exist anymore!]
Along with those words, Ray could feel that the atmosphere had become a lot tenser than before. The army of rats, which was already retreating before, now gathered and slowly turned into a Giant Rat.
[ I have given you guys a chance, but none of you seems to cherish it. This way, I can only pull you into despair!]
[ Now, face the disaster that you have caused by your own hands.]
All of the rats before them now have fully fused into one Giant Rat, but Ray could see that the difficulty of this trial had jumped a lot from before.
.
[ DING!!! A new mission has been issued to the host.]
[ Kill the Giant Rat.]
[ Reward: Special terrain theme x1, Natal weapon first evolution.]
[ Penalty: Death.]
.
When the Giant Rats has fully fused, the system also sends a new mission notification to Ray, but this doesn't even give a smile to his face.
He looked at the mission bar, and this was his first time seeing the death word as the penalty, and Ray somehow really got a bad feeling about this.
.
[ DING!!! The battle will soon begin. Please keep focused.]
.
" Fuck!!" Seeing this notification, Ray couldn't help but throw some curse in his mind.
He quickly takes some berries from his inventory and gulps them to recover some of his used stamina.
" Go!!"
Ray pointed at the Giant Rats and issued the command to the muscular chickens to charge at him.
The muscular chickens lumbered forward quite heavily like a mountain. Their muscle wing was pretty big and it hinder their movement, but it also significantly boost their strength and defense.
Thud, thud, thud!!
The muscular chickens successfully charged at the Giant Rat which had already lost its mobility and hold it back with their muscular arm, and suddenly.
" COOOPPP!!!" x10
The chicken's eyes turned red and Ray could see their strength was enhanced to another level.
If their power before could hardly block the Giant Rat, now the berserk muscular chickens could easily pin down the Giant Rats movement.
" Nice!" Ray was really grateful that his chickens has evolved into this muscular form.
A superb tank that could hold down the enemy, what else could he request.
And now, since the Giant rat has been hold back a but by the chickens, Ray and the other could start began their offensive means.
