CP : 34 - Blessing

I had started the day with a few hours of rest. I had taken care of most of the basic things in the dungeon. There wasn't much to do anyway.

I just couldn't come up with a tactic that could attract hunters to the dungeon. There wasn't a particularly strong human settlement where I was located.

Therefore, for now, I had paused the upgrading of my own dungeon. Because there might be powerful cities or Hunter communities around Infernio or Soulle.

What's worse, there could be rival dungeons. So, for now, I had changed my priorities.

I couldn't handle most individuals in the dungeon anymore. Their numbers had increased drastically. 250 monsters were truly a significant problem.

In fact, I hadn't even had the chance to talk to Raven and Lexia lately. Perhaps this situation was due to my rush to get everything done.

Additionally, I wanted to shape the dungeon architecturally. I didn't want to expand; I wanted to truly shape it.

For instance, the floors of the Floor Bosses were truly a masterpiece, but the other levels looked simple and ordinary. There was no difference from a regular cave.

Not to mention the boss room. It lacked grandeur and beauty.

All of this was a significant flaw for me. However, for now, finding a solution to this seemed impossible.

"Orion, what are you thinking?"

Lexia pulled me out of my thoughts with her red eyes.

"I'm just thinking about how to attract Hunters to my Dungeon."

"Don't you think it's better for us to stand together?"

Onyx was watching me and Lexia with curious eyes.

Onyx had developed 2 abilities last night. The range of her Healing magic had expanded. Additionally, it had become more efficient and effective.

Besides, she could now summon 10 Ogres. The Elite Ogres were divided into two types: Spear and Short Sword.

"No, that's definitely a bad idea."

Lexia answered Onyx's question before me. But I was curious as to why Onyx's idea was bad.

"Because in the end, sooner or later, we'll encounter other Dungeon Masters and stronger Hunters. In a possible scenario, I might never disappear, but for the two of you, if the dungeon disappears, you might not have a second chance."

Lexia spoke in a gloomy and deep voice. It was clear she was trying to scare Onyx with her tone.

"That won't happen." I spoke firmly. I never liked such things being brought up.

Lexia's empty words only affect small children, right? I guess Onyx was a little affected as well.

"Anyway, you need to work hard and gather more DP, Orion. Otherwise, nothing can prevent this sad fate. Dungeons are built on DP. The more DP you have, the stronger you become."

Lexia spoke with all seriousness this time. She wasn't entirely wrong about this.

"If there's something you know about dungeons that I don't, it's time to share it."

Lexia's suggestive attitude was a bit uncomfortable. If she knew something, she should share it. Her mysterious behavior was rather off-putting.

"There isn't much you don't know. Except for a few things, you can only upgrade a dungeon up to level 6. When the dungeon reaches level 6, it earns a blessing. It's impossible to know what the blessing is beforehand. Also, there are monsters and Hunters beyond level S."

After finishing her words, Lexia slowly walked away from us. Onyx and I were left alone.

It wasn't hard to guess that there were hunters above the S-Rank level. But the blessing aspect was a whole different dimension.

Most likely, she was speaking based on the information left behind by previous dungeon masters.

After a deep breath, I noticed that Onyx was lost in her own thoughts.

"You don't need to dwell on this too much. Don't worry, I'll try to earn the Blessing as soon as possible and find out what it is."

"Upgrade The Nefarion."
