The scenery changed as everyone arrived at the black ground with the red sun in the sky, The ground had varying sizes of pits as far as they could see.

[ Start ]

[ 9:59 ]

Athan and others didn't even have time to talk before the countdown started as all of them started moving forward.

" Looks like this dungeon also restricts flying. " Athan commented when he failed to cast <Lightning Arial Wings.>

Tiana smiled as Lightning Inferno energy released as she cast <Outburst Nodes> around her and Athan.

" This is the spell I talked abo-"

Tiana's voice was cut off as 2 shadows jumped out from the pit nearby them.

*Arh-woooooooooooooooo*

Two wolf-like howls sounded at the same time as two black wolves pounced towards Athan and others, Their size was around 2 meters tall and 4 meters long.

One wolf pounced towards Athan and Tiana while another wolf went for Jerunil and Gaurek.

Athan used burst movement to propel himself in the air before using <Impact Shot> to finish off the wolf while Jarunil who had a blue spear in his hand pointed it towards the pouncing wolf as a fast spinning water jet released from it which shredded the wolf into white light.

Journal had wavy blue hair and a slim body build with an oblong-shaped face while Gaurek was a 7 ft tall man who had a square-shaped face with a bald head.

Athan said to Tiana after dealing with the black wolf, " Let's be careful and pay attention to the pits around us. "

Just as he finished speaking, His face changed as he turned back but it was too late as the wolf already hit the outburst node barrier that was surrounding him.

*Booom*

The wolf actually got killed after it tried to bite the barrier.

Tiana who noticed later also released some Lightning Inferno Energy to repair the Outburst Nodes barrier of Athan.

Athan didn't waste time as he hurriedly spoke, " That wolf didn't make any sound and I just sensed it when it came near me...Let's spread out Mystic Energy around us to sense the presence. "

" Don't bother trying to do that, I just tried and failed to bring out any mystic energy, Stay alert, and don't get distracted. "

Athan heard Jerunil's voice when he also failed to bring out the mystic energy, He then nodded towards him before saying to Tiana, " Keep the barrier up around me and you, I will try to kill the wolves as they pounce on us. "

Tiana nodded her head hearing him as Athan was in full concentration as he stretched his senses.

Four of them were also constantly moving forward without stopping for even a second, When the wolves attacks they could jump, move backward or move forward but if they stopped moving, 10% of their total energy will be drained.

After they survived for 5 minutes, The wolves that attacked them became smaller but their speed and means of attack changed.

They now released claw-shaped dark projectile from afar before pouncing on them.

Tiana's Outburst Nodes would explode if those attacks hit the barrier, but it won't damage the wolves as they would be out of range.

But Fortunately, Athan was fully focused by now as he would deal with wolves instantly with <Impact Shots>.

Both Jerulin and Gaurek were also faring well as Jerulin had would always deal with wolves with his spear, He also had a good movement spell which he used to dodge attacks easily.

Gaurek on another hand had a thick brown Armour of Earth and Metal Energy donned on himself and to defeat the wolves, He released projectiles of magma fists towards the wolves.

He was attacked a few times by wolves but his armor withstood them and if it gets cracks, He would just repair it instantly.

After passing 8 min mark, The number of wolves increased which forced Athan to also use the spells he hadn't used for some time.

He mostly used Myriad Prisons made up of Earth energy on the wolves to restrict their movement, and since he had Intermediate earth Intent, The prisons could hold the wolves for some time.

Finally, the countdown hit 0 as all of them survived.

But...

[ Second Task: Defeat the Giant Wolf under 1 minute to Complete the Howling Pit Dungeon. ]

*ARH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

A Giant wolf around 6 meters in height and 11 meters long came out from a Giant pit in front of them.

Jerunil attacked with his usual spell but the wolf unexpectedly turned into a flowing Darkness as it dodged the attack.

The wolf arrived near Gaurek as it released dark claws projectiles towards him which successfully hit him and broke his armor, Minorly Injuring him.

Athan didn't waste time a single bit when he saw the wolf attack and dashed towards it using his Combusted Burst step.

He arrived near the wolf at a very fast speed and not giving any time to the wolf to react, He pressed both of his forward and released <Impact Scatter> at point black range.

*Aowoooooooooo...

...

[ Congratulations! You have defeated the Giant wolf in under 1 minute thus successfully completing the Howling Pits Dungeon. ]

[ 15 points and a Normal box to Athan, Tiana, Jerunil, and Gaurek. ]

[ You have unlocked the option to play this dungeon in dual mode. If you can beat this dungeon as two people then you will receive extra 10 points. ]

Afterward, Athan and Tiana arrived in the Dungeon Plaza.

Right after arriving here, Athan spoke, " Let's finish the [ Caverns of Black Bear ] first, We'll open the boxes after that. "

" Good idea..." Tiana nodded before smiling, " It's always exciting to open those boxes while wondering what we might get. "

Athan laughed, " That's called gacha. " Saying this, He started the dungeon.

[ Matching....]

Tiana confusedly asked, " Gacha? "

Atha nodded with a smile said, " Yep, The normal box is a gacha ball that gives us something which is not known by us beforehand, That's gacha for you. Seems like you are already a bit addicted to opening these normal boxes. "

Tiana smiled and nodded, " True, If Point shop sold these boxes, I would buy it because it might also give us something that outvalues its original price...like we've got many good things that were worth many points from these boxes. "

[ Matching Completed. ]

[ Squad ]

- Athan

- Tiana

- Ragna

- Nimian

Everyone arrived in a Big cave underground which had water pools and small caverns.

Before getting time to even look around, two bears were already in front of them, and just as they arrived here, they attacked.

Both black bears were 4 meters tall with thick black fur and were filled with explosive strength.

But it wasn't difficult for the squad to finish them as Athan finished one with <Impact Shot> While Ranga who had long red hair and a muscled body finished the other bear by bitchslapping it with the broad sword that was held by him.

The broad sword shined golden light before he actually slapped the bear with it instead of piercing it which sent the big bear flying before it turned into white light.

Athan and others were dumbfounded seeing such an attack.

Ragna felt the gazes on him as he looked at them before saying with a frown, " What? I like slapping attacks with my broad sword, It feels good. "

*Rawrrrrrrrrrrr....

More bears exited from the various small cavern around them, This time six bears came at the same time but they were also defeated.

But before they could take a break, More bears arrived. This time 10 bears.

*Rawrrr*x10

After defeating them, 15 bears arrived.

" Uh, Looks like there's no end to them..." Tiana spoke as she defeated a bear with her Firebolt Spell.

Athan also used Impact Scatter constantly to defeat the bears while Ragna was just slapping bears with his broad sword and Nimian was releasing Projectile blades made up of Wind and Dark elements that cut through bears like a knife cutting through butter, Before this wave He was using another type of spell that consist of Ice elements, but started to use projectile blades in this wave as he seemed to have run out of Ice energy.

Athan had also drained his Fire energy as he started to Flow the Active Earth energy and started continued to use Impact Scatter.

After defeating this wave, Tiana was out of her Lightning Inferno Energy so she was filling it up while occasionally releasing Water shots to aid Athan.

After the 15 bears wave, 20 bears arrived.

Seeing them, Ragna spoke with a constipated expression on his face, " Oh man, it's good that the bears turn into white lights after we defeat them otherwise, there would already be rivers of blood flowing here. "

" Looks like this dungeon is about testing our reserve of energies and spells. " Athan also commented seeing this wave of bears.

*Rawrrrr*x20

All four of them started their onslaught after that and defeated 20 bears.

But another wave arrived and this time actually 30 bears arrived.

*Rawrrr*x30

" Fuck this dungeon, it's getting annoying with all those roars but it feels good to slap them, It's been a long time since I slapped so many monsters. " Ragna cursed while also feeling good as he was prepared to bitchslap more bears.

Athan ran out of Earth energy soon and started to Flow Lightning Active Energy before he started to Impact Shots.

Another advantage of mastering the Advanced Stage of the Flowing method was that he could gather energy faster due to the increased speed of Active Flowing energy.

After they defeated this wave, Nimian who was always silent spoke, " Let's hope there are no more waves as I'm almost out of my energy. "

He also ran out of his Wind and Dark energy previous and used Metal energy spells during this wave.

*RAWRRRRRRRRRRRR*

A giant bear actually arrived that was 18 meters tall and actually had black steel armor on its body.

" The big guy is here, Let's finish him off and be done with this dungeon. " Saying this Ragna actually dashed towards the big bear before slapping it with his sword.

His sword shined with golden light as it actually managed to push the bear.

*RAWRRRRRRRRRRRR*

With this roar, Metal blades materialized around it before they shot towards Ragna who dodged them with a movement spell that used Air and space energy.

Athan was surprised as the movement spell used by Ranga seemed quite profound as it covered quite a distance.

But He was not wasting time standing when Ragna attacked as he was already preparing the 3 layer Impact Point with Dark energy.

Even though he had not mastered this spell, His proficiency had increased after using it three times so this time, It didn't take him long as he had already formed 2 layers.

Tiana and others were distracting the bear as they had also noticed the power fluctuation around Athan and the spell he was forming.

After a few seconds, He finally formed 3rd layer and pulled his hand back before powerfully impacting the Active Dark energy inside his arm towards the Hand while simultaneously pushing his hands forward in the direction of the black bear.

The Dark Impact Point shot towards the bear at supersonic speed before obliterating it.

[ Congratulations, You have completed the Caverns of Black Bear ]
