After getting the staff of Merlin which allowed me to use my grimoire for 5 minutes it was an easy task to breeze through the dungeons. I first used the stone model of the world and noted the location of the dungeons and my location on a map. Since I am using my grimoire to use the stone model of the world it wasn't that hard to maintain it like last time.
I was easily able to draw a map due to the mapping magic I copied from the human realm. After making a map I just used ancient necromancer magic which I unlock by combining the ancient ash curse magic of Rades and ancient dark magic. I brought the Cylopses I killed back to life and sent 10 of them to a dungeon.
I had 237 Cylopses so I sent them to 23 different nearby dungeons simultaneously. I went to a dungeon that was far from the 23 dungeons using light magic and this upgraded physique. I was able to cover a quarter of the island in 2 minutes. I conquered 2 dungeons before the 5 minutes ran out.
My Cyclopses only cleared 6 dungeons. Other cyclopses died in the dungeons. Ancient necromancer magic allows me to summon any monster I killed. After the monster dies I will have all the knowledge the monster had after I summoned it. I can also peek into the consciousness of a summon that is alive and see what the summon sees.
I got all the knowledge of the 17 dungeons that weren't cleared. I peeked into the consciousness of the cyclopses that are alive and noted the locations they were in. I used spatial magic to teleport all the cyclopses to where I am. I claimed all the artifacts they collected before the time ran out. After the time ran out all the Cyclopses returned to dust.
I just have to wait for an hour to do this again. While I was doing this I noted that Zeus and Poseidon were siding up with the participants who lost to them and were recruiting them. Some of the dungeons were blocked by the participants who kept saying that only Zeus/Poseidon are allowed to attempt the certain dungeon.
This is how Zeus reached 10 dungeons cleared and Poseidon reached 8 dungeons cleared. Before they could occupy the remaining dungeons I used the power of the staff of hell 5 times that day to clear 35 dungeons. I was only able to find and clear 5 other unoccupied dungeons.
After the survival quest was over there were only 16 survivors left. It was revealed that those who died in the survival quest were all brought outside the quest losing their participation rights. There were only 5 human spirit candidates who were still left after the survival quest including me.
When the ranking was revealed to others and they found out that an unknown candidate cleared 40 dungeons Zeus was looking for the Unknown candidate saying " If someone stronger than me is alive then I must finish them off or I might not become the spirit king". While Poseidon was trying to recruit the unknown candidate.
I was given the title dungeon hoarder which boosts my stats by 5 times when I am in a dungeon and allows me to have 10 times the luck when I am in a dungeon. The second and final test was announced. Every participant's Grimoire was unsealed and it was said that the test is going to be a 1vs1 duel test and the enemies chosen will be random.
" All the spirits and candidates who are not the ones fighting are allowed to spectate. The duel is scheduled to begin tomorrow good luck participants " said Alfred
