Prelude of the war

Iris and the girls came on the house floor as Jon had asked them to come. He was currently sitting near the dungeon's core and when they arrived, they all sat down somewhere.

"We received the first dungeon war request and it comes from a dungeon in the kingdom of air at the easy. Also, it is one of the weakest dungeon's in their kingdom with only three floors in total. Here look at the conditions for winning and defeat."

Jin made a sign for everyone to read the instruction on the core which everyone did.

After a while, all the monsters were silent and were looking at Iris. In their mind, Iris was still the first owner of the dungeon as such she, contrarily to them, had the right to give her advices to Jin.

"We should accept. If we refuse we will probably get some kind of punishment and in truth, it shouldn't be too hard to deal with them."

The others nodded their heads up and down without stopping, showing their utmost support. Even Alma who didn't show much expression on her face showed a rare smile when she thought about the chance to fight another dungeon.

All the monsters were tired to only practise and practise without ever coming out to fight for real. Of course, in a war they could die. However, they believed that without fighting a war, there was so much that they could learn.

Of course, Jin saw Alma and was completely surprised by her. He had almost never saw her show emotions and with this he could tell just how much she wanted to do it.

He didn't take more time than this as his choice was already made. He extended his arm and hit the button 'yes' on the core.

The notification board immediately changed and a countdown started beeping.

They were all extremely surprised as they had only one hour before the start of the fight. They didn't take more time and immediately went to the training floor to have everyone get prepared.

However, Jin immediately thought of a bad situation as he had every harpies in the elite team go in the higher floor to have everyone leave the dungeon.

While everyone was preparing for the incoming war, Jin used the dungeon's core control to have the portal which would link the two dungeons together at the second floor. Normally, the dungeon's master would have their portal open at the entrance of the dungeon. However, is dungeon was a little different and he had mo intention of involving the people living on the first floor.

——————————————

The news quickly reached the first floor of the dungeon and everyone panicked a little bit. The harpies finally arrived on the first floor while everyone who had entered the dungeon had gotten out.

The harpies quickly explained that a dungeon war was going to happen against another dungeon and that they should not enter the dungeon's second floor in the war time as they would surely die.

Following the departure of the harpies, the men's who had not much to do because of the closure of the second floor and further of the dungeon, all came together to create a huge gate which would control the second floor entrance.

While they were not stupid enough that these gates could stop every monsters, they truly hoped that it would successfully at least block a few monsters from getting out if they ever tried to get up to the first floor.

Following the work on the gate. They created barricades all around the stairs leading to the second floor and every mens could be seen standing on top of the walls with either swords or bows at hand.

At the same time, in the dungeon number seventeen of the air kingdom, the Dungeon master who looked like a giant bird was currently conversing with the other bird monsters.

While it was weird to listen and see the giant bird, there was no doubt that it was the dungeon master of the dungeon as a dungeon core was next to him.

When he had received the notification from the dungeon core telling him that the dungeon of pandemonium had accepted, he was extremely happy.

Of course, he couldn't know that he would be on the point of despair only a few hours later.

He had already readied all his monsters in the past day. They were all prepared and he had even prepared to fight together with the dungeon's boss monster to give them more chance of winning.

As he was laughing, he was flying all around a giant cave where the boss master, the cockatrice, was lying in wait.

The past few weeks had been extraordinarily hard on tis particular dungeon. He had previously lost against other dungeons making him lose his dungeon's floor.

A few months ago, before the appearance of the new dungeon, the dungeon was doing well. Not great, but there was no problem having the dungeon get stronger.

At that time, the GP they received was enough to replenish the monsters on each floors, to nourish them because they were alive like every other being. And finally, they even had a surplus to create new floors.

However, that time had passed as the people entering the dungeon had dwindled with only a dozen entering per week. And more than anything, these adventurer's either didn't stay for long or killed so much monsters that he couldn't benefit from it.

As such, the time rapidly passed and the dungeon was almost on the brink of extinction. The GP the dungeon possessed was extremely precious to them and the two floors they would lose upon losing the war were too important. If they lost all these things, the end of the dungeon was drawing near.

A dungeon could die at the moment he could not sustain any monsters in the dungeon, had no more GP and the floors were all destroyed.

It was a hidden secret among the dungeon master but if they really needed GP, they could destroy a complete floor and they would receive half the GP they had used to create it previously. While it wasn't that good, it was better than nothing.

As such, as long as a dungeon's still had one floor, it couldn't be considered to be destroyed.

However, the bird dungeon's master was sure to win because he had more experience compared to a new dungeon.

And finally, the countdown reached to zero. At this moment, a portal formation appeared in the entrance of the second floor of the dungeon of pandemonium and the entrance of the seventeenth dungeon of the kingdom of air.
