“Here are the weapons and armor that you wanted,” Nevreal said as he led Lux to the warehouse. “All of them were made by the Blacksmith here in Norria, and their quality is a cut from the rest. Use them well.”
Lux looked at the rows of weapons and sets of armor that Nevreal had prepared for him. He then secretly used the Elysium Compendium to appraise them and see their stats.

Lux smiled in satisfaction as he gazed at the twenty sets of weapons and armor that Nevreal generously gave him.
“Thank you,” Lux said. “This means a lot to me.”
Nevreal waved his hand as if this wasn’t a big deal to him.
“With this, all debts have been settled,” Nevreal replied. “We no longer owe you anything.”
Lux nodded as he acknowledged Nevreal’s words. The Dwarves had generously rewarded him for his help during the raid in the Kobold’s Nest in order to save Robin. Although the Half-Elf now had a hunch of who the snobbish Dwarf boy was, he had no intention of revealing this to the others.
After all, it was only a hunch at the moment, and until it was verified, he shouldn’t tell anyone about it.
“I have also talked to the Commander about your other request…,” Nevreal frowned as he gazed at the red-headed teenager in front of him. “Are you sure you want to enter the C-Rank Dungeon that is under the jurisdiction of the Stronghold of Norria? It might still be too early for you and those kids. Are you sure you want to do it?”
“Don’t worry, we are just going to take a look inside,” Lux answered. “If it’s really too much then we will just use our teleport crystals to leave that place.”
Nevreal could only reluctantly nod his head after hearing Lux’s words. The C-Rank Dungeon, Orc Dominion, was a twelve-man team Dungeon. Although it could be challenged even if the number of people in the party didn’t reach twelve, it was still highly recommended to challenge it using a full party.
These Dungeons were quite special, and they also had another name and that was “Instance Dungeons”.
Instance Dungeons were Dungeons that would generate a similar copy of the entire Dungeon for every party that entered it.
Meaning, although everyone was challenging the same Dungeon, they would be in a different version of the Dungeon, allowing each team to challenge it without worrying about other people interfering with their expedition.
A twelve-men Dungeon meant that it was highly recommended to challenge it with twelve people instead of the usual party of six or seven. There were also fifty-men Dungeons, and hundred-men Dungeons.
On very rare occasions, SSR-Ranked Dungeons would suddenly appear in Elysium. This type of Dungeon required a thousand people in order to clear it. This Dungeon was an open world Dungeon, in which they needed to fight a Calamity-Ranked World Boss, which could drop Legendary Items once it was defeated.
“Okay, I will wait for you at the barracks while you finish storing the equipment,” Nevreal said before leaving the warehouse.
Although he was very doubtful whether Lux and his friends would be able to clear the Dungeon or not, he still gave the Half-Elf the benefit of the doubt.
The Orc Dominion Dungeon was the place where the warriors of Norria would train after they had become Grade C Apostles. The Boss Monster inside it was a Rank 3 Alpha Monster called the Dark-Skinned Orc Chieftain.
It was a monster that was slightly stronger than the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis, and was very hard to kill because of its strength and tenacity. It also had a berserk ability which made it extremely dangerous once its health was dangerously low.
“Okay guys, time to suit up,” Lux smirked as he opened his Soul Book and equipped the weapons and armor to his Skeleton Fighters and Skeleton Grand Archers.
Ishtar wore the new armor as well, increasing her defense. Although she would be attacking her enemies from a distance, having armor was still better than not having any.
To Lux’s surprise when it was Diablo’s turn to equip the armor, his Named Creature decided to turn it down. When Lux asked him why, his Named Creature used his sword to write down two words on the ground.
Black Armor.
Those were the words that Diablo wrote, which made Lux scratch his head. This was the first time that Diablo told him his preferences, so he decided to respect his decision. Follow current novls on Noᴠꜰre.nt
‘I guess I better look for Dark Armor sets for him in the future,’ Lux thought. ‘I’ll ask Grandma if she still has some Black Armor available. If not, I’ll just have it custom made for him.”
When all of his Summons had properly equipped their weapons and armor, the Half-Elf stored the rest of it in his inventory. He was sure that he would be able to use them in the future after the number of his Summons had increased.
For now, he left the warehouse in a good mood as he looked for Colette and the others who were busy sparring with the veteran soldiers of Norria.
The little Dwarfs were steadily getting stronger, and were nearing the Apostle Rank. Lux knew that it was only a matter of time before they parted ways with each other, so he decided to challenge the C-Rank Dungeon with them.
Although he didn’t know if they would agree to his request or not, he hoped that they would. After all, he was confident that if they all worked together, they would be able to overcome the Alpha Monster that was considered to be one of the strongest monsters in the territory of Norria.
