While Evan was increasing the rank of his cores, a large crowd gathered outside of the monster paradise dungeon.
Now other than Nathan and the other two S rank hunters, there were many A and A+ rank hunters as well.
When the golden lightning rained down from the sky most of the hunters felt its terrifying power and immediately came towards the monster paradise dungeon.
But after seeing Nathan and the other two S rank hunters, most of the people left from there and only A and A+ rankers stayed behind.
All the gathered hunters watched from the distance as the dark cloud flashing with golden lightning slowly disappears.
“Did you find what was that lightning?” Jeffrey asked Nathan while floating beside him.
Other than Jeffrey. Edward, Issac, Olivia and many other hunters of Astarte City were also present there.
“We don’t know, but that was definitely natural lightning because we did not feel any mana fluctuation from that lightning” Nathan said while shaking his head.
“Even though I was far away from here, I was still able to feel the power of that lightning. Even when I encountered an S rank monster during one of my trips to the wilderness I didn’t feel this kind of dreadful feeling that I felt after seeing that lightning” said Issac, looking at the dungeon portal with a serious look.
“I wonder why that lightning went inside the dungeon portal?” Edward asked while frowning deeply.
“Did you ask the guard of the dungeon if anyone enter inside recently?” Jeffrey asked to Nathan who shook his head.
“That lightning ended just a minute ago so we didn’t get time to ask him”
“Then let’s just go and ask him, after all, it is better than making useless assumptions by ourselves” Julian said and they all came down from the sky landing before the monster paradise dungeon.
But when they landed in front of the dungeon their bodies froze. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
‘Oh my! What the hell am I seeing?’ this thought immediately appeared in the mind of all the hunters including three S Rankers.
For the first time in their lives, all of them felt the need to undergo an eye test
In front of the dungeon, an old man was sitting under an umbrella munching peanuts and watching something on his phone.
He was using earphones of the famous ‘Thot’ company, and was completely unaware about all the hunters who landed in front of him.
After seeing the guard, everyone glanced at Jeffrey whose mouth was twitching. Monster Paradise dungeon is controlled by the crimson blade guild whose guild master is Jeffrey.
Jeffrey took a deep breath and moved towards the old man who was watching the beggar and the beast.
Coming in front of the old man, Jeffrey tapped on his shoulder bringing him out of the beggar and the beast world.
The old man was momentarily stunned when he lifted his head and saw Jeffrey.
He obviously recognised his boss with just a single glance.
Before he could say anything to Jeffrey, he saw more people coming towards him and his mind blanked out for a moment seeing all the big shots of the city standing in front of him.
Seeing the stunned face of the old man Jeffrey shook his head and sighed.
He was not angry or anything after seeing that the old man is actually watching a movie. He knew that it is a boring job to sit in front of the dungeon all day and keep an eye on the people entering the dungeon
He was just speechless that this old man did not even feel the terrifying lightning that was raining down from above his head.
“You don’t have to be nervous. We just want to ask you a question,” Jeffrey said, looking at the old man who was nervous after seeing so many big shots.
Hearing Jeffery, the old man calmed down a little and removed his thot company’s earphones.
Seeing the old man was not looking nervous anymore Jeffery immediately asked him, “Has anyone entered the dungeon recently?”
Nathan and the other hunters also looked at the old man seriously. They also wanted to know if anyone entered the dungeon.
Hearing Jeffrey, the old man remembered the D+ rank youth who entered the dungeon a few hours ago and nodded his head.
Seeing the old man nodding his head the eyes of all the hunters flashed.
Soon the old man told them everything and even showed Evan’s details that he got from his hunter’s card.
Most of the hunters were shocked when they saw it was Evan who entered the dungeon.
“He is the student who got first place during the practical exam of the academy, right?” Julian said while looking at the details of Evan.
“He is just a D+ rank hunter why did he enter a B rank dungeon?” Margaret said in a doubtful voice, she was one of the hunters who never met him and was unaware about him.
Olivia’s eyes flashed when she saw it was Evan who went in, she already knew who hired Terror Brothers to keep an eye on Leon.
“I don’t know what that lightning was and whether it had anything to do with him, but I don’t think he would be alive if that lightning was targeting him,” Olivia said in a plain tone.
Edward looked at the portal feeling a slight headache. Evan is the part of the team who will represent Astrate Academy in the tournament. Leon was also part of the team, but he is already dead. If something also happened to Evan they will have to replace him as well.
“It is very easy to confirm whether he is alive or dead,” Sebastian said and looked at the old man.
Hearing Sebastian the eyes of other hunters also flashed and they looked at the old man as well.
According to the restrictions of the Monster Paradise dungeon, only one person can enter it at a time. If they want to check whether Evan is still alive or dead, all they have to do is ask a hunter to try to enter it.
If the hunter successfully enters the dungeon, it would mean that Evan is dead, but if the person is unable to enter the dungeon, it would mean that Evan is still alive and inside the dungeon.
They all looked at the old man because he was a C+ rank hunter. Edward and the other hunters who were there were all higher than B+ rank, so they cannot enter the B-rank dungeon and confirm whether Evan is alive or dead.
The old man also understood what they were thinking so without saying anything he walked towards the portal.
Nathan and others looked at him with focused gazes wanting to see what will happen.
The old man still wanted to watch the Beggar and the Beast movie so he quickly tried to enter the dungeon wanting to see the result.
But just as he touched the portal he was pushed back by an invisible force.
Seeing this, Edward’s eyes lit up, “he is still alive”
