Chapter 8 - Increase In Strength (2)

By meeting the three requirements which he hadn't anticipated, he put the Seed of Chaos in his right hand into his mouth and then gulped it down, which almost choked him.

[You have consumed the "Seed of Chaos".]

[The seed's aura is starting to seep within your body and soul.]

A dark blue aura started to emanate from his body as he remained standing.

"Oh… it's warm."

He was surprised by the warmth that the Seed of Chaos provided in his body.

'I thought it's gonna hurt like hell… again.'

He inwardly said, recalling the excruciating, unexpected pain he experienced through the carving of the mysterious Symbol of Twilight to his heart.

Ding-! Ding-!

Subsequent notifications sounded in his ears as he consumed the Seed of Chaos, snapping him out of his thoughts.

...

"It's probably closing."

He mumbled, recalling some information about dungeons, while he started to move out, but before he did, he never forgot the Crude Shortsword that he dropped as he picked it up before running to the Hidden Dungeon's entrance.

Every normal dungeon, whether it's a Strayed or Tower, even if conquered, would only close if the player destroyed the Dungeon Core.

But, when it comes to Hidden Dungeons, a Dungeon Core was something that didn't exist as it only focused on a challenge and rewards, and if the player manages to clear it, it would automatically shut itself down.

Rumble-! Rumble-!

As the intensity of the trembling turned heavy, he quickly sprinted towards the exit where he initially appeared the moment he entered through the gap between the two inconspicuous, normal-looking trees.

Ding-! Ding-!

With the loud rumbling, the System's sounds of notifications were something that still could be heard, but as he ran against time, he chose to neglect it.

Then, after a moment, he saw an arc-shaped passage, just like the shape of the gap that was formed when the two inconspicuous trees leaned against each other.

Derek looked around and found himself in the familiar yet unfamiliar forest, part of Armageddon Mountain.

The illumination of the Sun didn't enter his vision as he instinctively looked up while he surveyed the surroundings.

What he saw was the grand scenery of the starry night, the bluish moon that seemed to exude serenity and the twinkling of stars of unknown distances.

He was reminded of the Mistress of Twilight.

"…What time is it?"

He mumbled before he checked his right wrist where a smartwatch was worn in.

'9:42 P.M.'

Upon realizing that it was almost very late at night, he started to take his pace to find a place to rest for the night.

Before he started to walk, he looked at the entrance where he entered and didn't see anymore the two trees that were leaning against each other.

After walking for a few minutes through the deep forest with trees of various sizes, with the help of his new profound vision, strengthened tenfold under the effects of his Trait: 'Under the Night', he quickly found a suitable spot.

He also made sure that there were no Wild Beasts or Monster Beasts, as well as any strayed person, by circling the area twice, that's at least a hundred meters.

"Ha… What a journey."
