Leaving the smithy, a thought occurred to Verum, 'Jason is supposed to more powerful than others, right? Maybe I should spar with him.' Thinking so, he started to look for him.
When he did not find him, he asked his men, who told him that Jason was out hunting. Deciding to spar after he returned, Verum went to the altar, since he realized that he could now enter the dungeons.

'Detailed info, nice to know. Well then, should I? I don't see why not?' Thinking so, he chose the dungeon, but a warning appeared.
[Recommended Party members: 3]
[Do you still wish to proceed?]
Looking at the warnings that were red in color, he just smiled, and said yes, to which a black light enveloped him, and vanished.

(Verum POV)
I expected a portal, not a teleport, I was not prepared, and heavily disoriented, however I quickly recovered, knowing that danger is close can work wonders for you, unless you're a coward.
The dungeon was not all that 'Bloody' at all, in fact, I couldn't see any blood at all, The ruins were there, and they seemed to be the ruins of either ancient Greeks or romans, atleast, I didn't know any other civilizations with those kind of pillars. There was also a bigger ruin on top of a hill,, maybe a kilometer away, and I guessed that that would be the boss area.
But first I needed to be aware of my immediate area, and although I could not see any monsters, I could hear them moving around. I was in some sort of alleyway, and there was an archway made of stone leading out. Something told me that I would be safe, as long as I did not step through that gate, but that seemed to be the only proper way out.
So instead, I climbed onto the wall.
It seemed stupid to just waltz in without knowing enemy positions, and I could see some, 'things' from the wall. I walked forward, and found out that I was in actual ruins, with debris and broken buildings everywhere. The first monster I could see had 3 arms, and 2 legs, it was a humanoid with an extra arm jutting out from it's right shoulder, it's skin was a deep red, and it had an eye instead of a nose. It also had a red circle like icon on top of it.

[A demon with 3 arms, nothing unusual]
The description that I got was incredibly vague, maybe it was because appraisal was still level 1. One thing was confused at was that, even though this one was higher level than the bear, it still had a lower HP, I decided to research it more later. I continued to look but I could not see any monsters other than the demon, so I decided to engage it.
Creeping closer, I could see that it's fingers, were more like claws, and I did not, want to be touched by those. I was 4 meters away from it when it turned around, then seeing me it was startled. Not letting this chance go to waste, I lunged forward, impaling my sword in it's chest, and making it stumble backwards.
"SCREEEEEEEECCCHH!!!"
God, I wished I had gone for it's throat.
The sound was so loud that it disoriented me for a second, before I came to my senses and used a stone dagger I had made, along with 'Black fang' to lob off it's head, sadly, it was too late. For others had heard it's cry, and I could see 3 more demons, as well as a scorpion like creature approaching.
Realizing what an idiot I had been, I prepared to fight.

"Ah, shit." I could not help but curse. I knew that bugs had an exoskeleton, which meant that the huge scorpion in front of me would be very hard to hurt, unless I could find a weak spot.
That's it! A weak spot! The eyes! That should work!
They were near me, only 10 meters away, when I shot a Fire Ball towards one the demons, hitting and exploding squarely in the face, making it run around screaming as it tried to put out the fire that had consumed it's head.
[-30]
The Demon in second closed the distance and lunged at me, which I ducked under and kicked upwards, launching it away.
[-30]
The scorpion brandished it's claws at me, so I jumped up, and swung my sword at it's back. I could only look and hope, but with a clang, my sword bounced off.
[-2]
[-30]
[-30]
The third demon attacked, and I had to move from there. I could not withstand taking on the demons as well as the scorpion at once.
[-30]
[-30]
Suddenly, the scorpion started forming a ball on it's stinger, I tried to stop it by using a Fire Bolt, but it didn't work, so I used the Wall spell. The scorpion fired, and the ball struck the wall.
The wind seemed to go crazy behind my cover, whipping around, damaging everything it came in contact with, I could only watch from safety, as the rocks around me were cut into pieces from the fierce attack.
And that is when it struck me.
And the poor demon finally died.
