After turning around from the workshop Clay quickly feels a heavy weight cover his body before he finds himself surrounded by blue skies, looking down he sees that he is standing on clouds.
"Welcome Clay, I am the God of Chaos. You have made it past your trial period. Due to the three blessed nations collaborations only 10% of people make it past this point. I have review all of your actions and achievements and have decided to thank you."
Clay stands there in shock looking around him.
"I am not visible to those who haven't reached ascension. Unfortunately unlike the other gods I can't touch the world they made so I form beings like you to cause chaos. You have already killed over a hundred humans, but in comparison to the top teir spirits and their dungeons you are puny. If you can make it to the top teir level then you may have the ability to ascend and do what I can't. Destroy the gods and allow the three races to grow with their own abilities rather than borrowed power. There is one other dungeon nearby you that has also passed this stage, if you can destroy this spirit you will get one step closer to ascension. Good bye and good luck my young Clay."
Suddenly Clay finds himself in his dungeon again, confused about where he is.
"So I've made it past the point where most spirts die, but I still have a way to go to achieve my goal." Clay murmurs to himself.
"Miner do you have any resources for us!" Clay yells out hoping to get some magic crystals so he can get closer to the mission the god gave him.
"Master! I have a trolly full of resources please have a look!" The miner yells pushing a huge trolly full of various resources.
Clay looks and takes out around 27 magic crystals, "Thank you for your effort, put them in the workshop and have a break." Clay says to his miner minion.
He hastily absorbs the magic crystals, "You have absorbed 27 magic crystals. You have increased in strength by 7 Copper stars."
Clay grins before asking "assistant! Respawn Amon using 100 souls!"
"As you wish!" Assistant responds, almost immediately Amon appears before Clay.
"My apologies master, I was not expecting to be instantly killed by a human." Amon says as he kneels down.
"It's fine, you have grown in strength now from being just shy of four gold stars to just over five gold stars. You will find I have a new weapon for you waiting by the workshop." Clay explains.
"Thank you master!" Amon says heading over to grab the weapon. He feels a surge of power.
"Amon's power has risen by seven silver stars by equipping a new weapon." Assistant says.
"Master this weapon is amazing. Thank you" Amon says.
"I'm glad, now we both will be leaving the dungeon and heading off to a nearby dungeon." Clay says before they both teleport outside of the dungeon.
Clay looks around the forest amazed.
"Master grab hold! We will fly above the tree line to look for this other dungeon!" Amon says.
Clay grabs hold of Amon and quickly they fly into the sky and look through the trees for the dungeon.
After many hours they spot a small set of ruins. Landing to look through the ruins they find a large door in one of the walls similar to his dungeon's door. After touching the door Clay hears from his assistant "This is an entrance of another dungeon. Inside of another dungeon you will be unable to access your soul core. If you hit 0 heath while in another dungeon, half of your souls will be given to the spirit in charge of the dungeon and you will be placed back into your dungeon."
"Let's enter Amon I trust your skills to protect me and defeat the spirit in charge." Clay says slowly opening the door.
As they both walk into the dungeon they find themselves in a forest landscape, Amon quickly spots a large group of goblins each with three silver stars. Quickly Amon instantly kills them with his speed and a swift strike of his spear.
"Master this spear is amazing, without the use of my fire it is still immensely powerful." Amon says amazed.
"I'm glad you like it, it's only a prototype though so expect better things later." Clay says gripping one of the daggers he got from some of the first invaders.
As they move through the forest they find countless groups of goblins killing them with ease. After about an hour they find a large door, without hesitation they open the door in no time they see a large hobgoblin.
Clay feels its strength being around nine silver stars. With a grin Clay says "Amon! No skills just use your spear!"
"Understood master!" Amon yells as he charges into the hobgoblin instantly killing it by cutting it in half. A large magic crystal forms as the hobgoblin disappears.
Clay grabs the magic crystal and absorbs it. "You have absorbed a Level 3 Boss Hobgoblin magic crystal. You have increased in strength by 2 copper stars. You have gained a skill." His assistant says.
Clay grins, excited to go back home to see his new skill but he remembers he needs to continue. The continue to the door, quickly finding themselves in a similar marble room as his dungeon.
"Well I didn't expect another spirit to arrive so quickly. You must be the one the god mentioned. You will…" the spirit says before stopping as fear washes over his face.
"How… we both got summoned at the same time my strongest minion is only two gold stars. How is yours nearly six gold stars?!" He exclaims.
"Ah you don't have a minion that can leave the dungeon alone do you?" Clay says.
"No, the outside world is full of dangerous humans." The Spirit says as his minion appears next to him. Looking like a shadow wolf minion with a strength level of two gold stars and 2 silver stars.
"This is only one of my minions and on his first few days destroyed a human settlement of just under 100 humans, along with killing a gold star human. We accumulated huge numbers of souls and now we are hear to destroy you as ordered by the god." Clay says, he then orders Amon to go all out to kill them quickly.
Amon almost instantly bursts into flames before killing the shadow wolf with two explosions before landing a spear attack onto the spirit taking its health from 10000 down to 8900 in a single hit. Amon using his superior speed quickly landed three more strikes before the spirit could get away, his health dropping down to 5600.
"You know you can't kill me without destroying the soul core right!" The spirit yells.
"Oh we know don't worry!" Clay yells with a wink.
Almost instantly the soul core shatters, leaving the spirit in shock.
"What happened!?" The spirit yells.
"Easy, I absorbed it since it was weakened after you took a large chunk of damage." Clay explains.
Amon uses this opportunity to create two explosions on the spirit before landing four more spear strikes. Leaving the spirit on 990 health.
As the spirit falls to the floor an option appears before Clay, asking him if he want to absorb the spirit. Quickly he selects yes. As the spirit disappears he hears from his assistant "You have absorbed a spirit, you have gained half of their souls and you have evolved into an Enhanced Spirit." "You have gained 5 Souls from the absorbed spirit."
Clay and Amon quickly are teleported to their own dungeon. He quickly looks at his stats.

After looking Clay is supprised that his health has increased by 5000, the skill he received is increadibly useful along side his mana ring.
"Hey assistant why did that spirit have so little souls?" Clay asks.
"With the three races becoming more organised most new dungeons are either destroyed or have very little visitors. That dungeon due to not having a minion that could leave the dungeon it meant that they relied on people actually coming to the dungeon. They had many level 1 goblins but that might be due to a goblin nest structure that can produce goblins and food resources for the goblins." His assistant immediately explains.
"Thank you assistant, can you tell me what I need to do to evolve again?" Clay asks.
"For a spirit to evolve they need to absorb other spirits. Your next evolution is Major Spirit and requires an enhanced spirit reaching five silver stars and absorbing five other spirits." His assistant responds.
