Chapter 63: The Dungeon - 2

"Hah, that was too tiring.."

The four children were resting after they had successfully killed over 50 Ino's.

"I'm beat, their numbers kept on increasing, we kill one and two would come hah. By the way, you and Igyeo have a nice teamwork, Pan.."

"Well, the two of you were too busy fighting to give us an aid, Luckily Pan and I have a good combination."

Pan was healing everyone's small wounds, they didn't go unscathed after fighting many monsters. As such Pan was pushing himself to heal everyone.

"Your healing skill is really good in this type of situation, thank you, Pan."

"No worries, I can only help by using the shield. I don't have any offense skills, so at the very least I should heal everyone's wounds.."

"Hey, what about this stuff?"

There were many items on the floor.

"You right, The Ino's when they died would leave these items behind.."

"What do we do with it? We can't bring everything with us.."

"We don't even know what these stuff are.."

The four children were gathered and were confused as to what they had to do with the items that the Ino's left behind.

"Hmm.."

Terzo touched one of the red small orbs left by the Ino when suddenly, the orb disappeared.

"What did you do?"

"I just touched it and it disappeared"

[For now, the items will be put inside the dungeon inventory]

[The dungeons inventory would help in carrying the items looted by the individuals. Once the individuals kill the dungeon boss, the dungeon inventory would disappear leaving the looted items that the individuals had.]

"So it's like a stock house?"

"I think so too.."

The four children began to touch the items one by one, and the items immediately disappeared and were put into the dungeon's inventory.

[Wooden Shield - 23]

[Dungeon Map - 5]

[Magi Orb - 10]

[Loaf of Bread - 15]

"Check Magi Orb's description.."

[Magi Orb]

[Description: An Orb that can increase a certain individual's magi capacity and control. The orb has to be eaten for its effect to enter the individual's body. It tastes like coffee jelly. This will only take effect if ten magi orbs are consumed at once]

After checking the information, Primo and Terzo looked at one another. The two of them who rely on the Magi knew that if the two of them have the magi orb they could greatly increase their prowess.

"H-Hey Terzo, I'm the oldest remember? As your older brother, it's only right for me to take these magi orbs! Besides I'm the fighter in the group"

"First of all you were born a little later than me, second I need this Magi, I'm the support, if I eat this then I can greatly increase my prowess and be able to help you and those two.."

Igyeo and Pan weren't bothered by the two's squabbles, they were both busy equipping the new items.

"You kidding me right? You know how useful I am!"

"Are you kidding me as well? I need that unlike you! You can just train and level up on your own, while I have to practice with my master every day just to increase my control!"

"Well, at least you have a master to guide you! I have to learn everything from scratch!"

"U-Umm...Can't you just divide it, there are ten orbs, five for each of you.."

"No!"

The two said at the same time.

Pan and Igyeo rested at the side, the two were eating the bread.

"This tastes good.."

"Yeah, maybe we shouldn't eat everything so we can bring some for the tribe."

"Your right!"

After much debating, Terzo won!

"Thank you so much, brother.."

"Tch, just don't waste the potential of the orbs.."

"Hah, finally the two are done arguing."

Pan and Igyeo stood up and followed Primo as they continued their journey inside the dungeon.

....

After a long day, Dux finally went home.

"Hah I want to rest, my body is stiff.."

As soon as Dux entered the house, he found eerily it quiet. Usually Primo would be arguing with Lenta. Pan and Terzo would be watching the fight from the side, but not only was it incredibly quiet the children weren't inside the house.

Dux checked his and Lenta's room, to find his mate fast asleep.

"Hon.."

Lenta who woke up, looked at the worried expression on Dux's face.

"Welcome home, I'll make dinner.."

"Hon before that, where's the kids?"

"Huh? They're home aren't they?"

"N-No! They aren't I just came home"

"W-What?"

Lenta immediately stood up and began to look around the house, the three children weren't inside.

"They're supposed to be home.."

Dux and Lenta began to search inside the village, they asked many of their neighbors for the three. Many of the people inside the village also began to search for the three.

...

"What time is it? Mom must be worried for us.."

"Yeah, my Dad is going to get mad if he finds out I'm not home yet.."

"Hey Primo, how long is this going to take?"

Primo flinched, and Terzo sighed in response to Pan's question.

"Well, we have to clear the dungeon boss so we can leave remember?"

"Yeah, but Terzo, Mom, and Dad must be worried for us. Maybe we should go back?"

"Tch quit being a wuss Pan, if we want to get out first we have to kill the dungeon boss. So shut your yapping and let's go!"

"Oh ok..."

The four continued to walk inside the narrow dungeon, Along the way there were some Ino's who tried to kill them. But Primo immediately killed each Ino, and with Terzo's barrier, it was enough to kill the Ino's.

As they continued their journey in the long and narrow Dungeon, they faced many traps. As they got further inside the dungeon, it became extremely difficult.

The Ino's were much stronger than they had faced, but due to their increase in strength, they still managed to defeat them.

"Oi was here.."

"How many days have we been here...It feels like a month.."

"Shut your yapping Pan, we're finally here! After we defeat this thing we can finally leave this goddamn dungeon Jahahaha"

"Finally, I need a bath, I reek of blood and my body feels grungy all over.."

"Tehehe, let's open these goddamn doors!"

The door was huge, and with the four pushing the door it finally opened. As they entered inside the dungeon.

What they found was no monster.

"Huh? Why aren't there any monsters here?"

"Isn't this supposed to be the dungeon boss's home?"

The four children were confused, they had always imagined a strong creature inside the dungeon boss room. But there wasn't any.

As soon as they entered, the huge doors suddenly closed by themselves.

"What the?"

Primo tried to push the door but it didn't budge.

"Hey help me here.."

Terzo and Igyeo helped Primo push the huge door but to no avail. The door wouldn't budge or open.

"Keep pushing!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"It wouldn't move!"

The three stopped, they kept huffing. Primo noticed the dazed Pan looking at the huge statue.

"Oi Pan you ok?"

"Come to think of it? Was that statue there in the first place?"

"Now that you say it, Igyeo. I don't remember a statue being there when we first walked inside.."

The three children were confused, especially Pan who was looking at the statue stiffly.

"Pan you alright?"

Terzo called out, but Pan didn't move an inch.

"Hah just leave him, let's continue hitting this goddamn door.."

The three turned around, they continued to push open the door. As soon as the three turned around, the statue moved an inch.

The statue had an eerie smile, the statue glanced at the small child. Pan had lifeless eyes looking at the statue.

The statue leaned closer to Pan's ears.

"Kill...."

It was a slight whisper, and Pan moved. The statue goes back to its original position.

"Pan?"

Pan was walking stiffly to Igyeo.

"Hey is everything alright Pan?"

Primo felt eerie looking at Pan. Primo touched Pan on his shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Is everything alright?"

Kachak

"Huh?"

Primo felt ice cold, he glanced at his right stomach, there was a small knife that stabbed him.

"P-Primo!"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Terzo cast a barrier that immediately created a space between the three of them and Pan.

"P-Primo you alright?"

Terzo crouched down looking at the knife on Primo's stomach.

"Well, how about we switch positions, you being stabbed by a knife, and see if you still alright huh?"

"What should we do Terzo?"

Igyeo was shivering.

"How could Pan do that?"

The three looked at Pan who was playing with the knife while blankly looking at them.

"Something is wrong with Pan.."

"I agree, the fuck just stabbed me.."

"For now don't move, we shouldn't take out the knife, the knife is acting as a barrier between you gushing out of blood.."

"I know.."

Igyeo and Terzo glanced at Pan.

"Something is wrong, Pan wouldn't do that.."
