Typically speaking who doesn''t love money and treasures however in this world those two things come with one thing in common, danger.

    "BANG!"

    The ground was smashed open and the beast which doesn''t exist in any books emerged within my view. Its existence was something no one has ever recorded.

    This was the case because dungeon beasts are hybrid monsters that were born out of the unstable state of energy in Bunag. They are more unique and irregular than any kind of beast. This makes them complicated and hard to read. According to some text, each dungeon had its unique beast so previous records of encounters are useless to rely on. All you can do is survive and conquer.

    So while dodging the powerful swing of this colossal beast I began to chant.

    "Wind element, Twister"

    A green magic circle began to be drawn and air blasted off creating a strong rotation movement. With its focus application force becoming a drill towards the monster''s body the surrounding people took that chance to reorganize themselves. It seems the roar a while ago took them off guard.

    [Creator this beast has impenetrable scales, you need more force to break it]

    "It''s okay I don''t really need to do anything"

    I answered him and immediately three people began to surround the beast. One with a shield, the second one with a sword and the last had a saber.

    As soon as those weapon masters arrived, three streaks of light almost blinded me since their auras almost turned into a flame-like form. It was dense and dangerous capable of pulverizing debris.

    While the three became the vanguard the mages and archers at the back assist them. They mainly use mid-rank to high-level spells to disrupt the monster''s movement.

    The rhythm of the battle began to shake the entrance of the dungeon. However, the hybrid monster was able to block all the attacks due to its scales. Even when it was being cornered none of the current attacks could penetrate his shield.

    [His protective skin is as tough as a black dragon while his body is as flexible as a tempest cheetah. This thing can react and exploit its own defense without getting fatal injuries. Although its body structure looks like a gorilla the tail and wings make it look weird]

    Jeremiah stated while I dodged a fireball that came from the monster''s mouth.

    "He is weirdly dangerous"

    The mix of different magical beast''s characteristics made him excessively hard to read however the main problem still lies with its defence.

    [Creator, the commotion is causing more monsters to gather. You must finish this one]

    I can''t help by sigh, though this guy doesn''t have a strong offense on the other hand its defense is at least on rank Celestial. So it''s understandable that no one can do anything. However what if there is more of this beast? A shield strong enough to endure any physical attack while a body that is fast enough to dodge spells.

    If they are more of this beast, we won''t be able to handle them.

    "Damn it I thought this dungeon is only B grade what''s with this monster!"

    Someone shouted while waving his staff to halt the approaching horde.

    If what the marquis said was true however if he simply wished to test the strength of the dungeon then he must have lied.

    "Wind Element, Tespester"

    I chanted and the entire entrance and the passage in front were covered with a green magic circle. From it, a new type of wind was summoned. The surroundings began to be affected as the great wind began to rotate.

    "Fall back you will be sucked if you approach it!"

    "Fall back!"

    They stated while taking shelter behind my back. Calmly I raise my hand and manipulate the wind. The ground began to tremble, as well as the ceiling and walls of the entrance. Usually, this won''t happen since dungeons are made solely with Bunag''s best materials.

    These are unique items I better look into them later.

    I was satisfied with what I got so I left the other spoils to the people with me.

    "This dungeon is way higher than what the marquis stated"

    "Dungeons especially natural types tend to be hard to identify that is why we can''t blame the marquis, however right now we should probably retreat since we can''t risk going even deeper"

    Selso a knight of the marquis said while gathering everyone to camp outside the dungeon entrance. We can''t leave yet since there is a possibility of a hybrid beast going outside the entrance. So we must stay and wait for further inspection.

    [You know I was expecting that you would disobey the order and sneak inside the dungeon]

    "Nah, I am not rushing things and besides, I just found something"

    Jeremiah suddenly sighs making me feel bad since I have been giving orders nonstop.

    [You are brewing something dangerous]

    "Why not, a glorious opportunity had presented itself to me so why not use it?"

    [What if what you wanted to convey doesn''t reach their ears?]

    "That is the reason why the other me will create rumours, that way every corner of this continent will know the existence of this dungeon"

    [Just be careful]

    "I will" Discover stories with empire

    While I was fighting those beasts the other me just got an intel that some mysterious people are secretly buying artifacts. After snooping around and extracting information from the underground information guilds I found solid proof that this might become my lead to them. A group of people that is so secretive that even the most famous information guild can''t get an idea of them.

    Surely it must be them.

    "If they are suddenly gathering artifacts that only means they are preparing something, so why not establish a stage where I could capture them?"

    This move might attract not only the people I intend to see but also some unwanted organizations. However, I don''t really care all I need to do is make sure they won''t be able to join in.

    [How so?]

    "Well I have multiple bodies what do you think I should do?"

    [You are not planning on causing havoc right?]

    "Hmmm"

    [Right? Creator?]

    "Or course!"

    I will first gather information about the people who will come here and then make sure a problem will arise in their family or their territory that will leave them no choice not to come here.

    However, I should be careful not to cause suspicion.

    This is so complicated that I wish I could just use the authority of Mystics to influence everyone''s mind.

    Well either way I should be able to accomplish this, hopefully, those people will take the bait.
