Chapter 252: Big Trove of Treasure, Clearing Surprise
Chapter 252: Big Trove of Treasure, Clearing Surprise
Aleron arrived in a world of chaotic wonders. Islands floated, all in various shapes, with each having a gravitation center, much like a planet in space.
Oceans hung and flowed circularly and other types of flows, defying physical laws. The air was heavy, and chaotic energy swirled and transformed all around into various things.
But most importantly, each island and any phenomenon one could see had a variety of chaotic beasts housing.
Many were floating around as well.
Others may be overwhelmed by their numbers if they didn't exercise caution, but Aleron didn't bother with that.
He first spread out his Cosmic Eyes, hundreds of them. He created Cosmic Eyes until he emptied his Chakra energy.
Afterward, he used Chaos Breathing Art and quickly recovered his Chakra energy. With two Mystic Paths and the second being at level 4, he had a total of 1400 Chakra energy.
"Alright, you are first," Aleron looked at the biggest island he could see and flew towards there.
Chaotic Beasts were alerted, and a horde of 100 chaotic beasts that were flying on the way immediately started chasing Aleron and releasing their attacks.
Aleron didn't bother with them, teleporting swiftly a few times as he entered the Island with weird mountains, rivers, and a chaotic biome mixture of flourishing spring and blizzard.
After searching around, looking for something extraordinary, Aleron found an ancient rundown ruin. A small town with a castle in the center. He arrived here by going through a small and hidden cave.
With his omni-dimensional sensing aspect of Cosmic Eye, he found all suspicious-looking caves and stuff before hitting the jackpot after half an hour.
He encountered strange types of monsters in the ancient ruins. They were stronger than regular Unbound-rank chaotic beasts, but that didn't make any difference to Aleron.
He killed and destroyed all the obstacles before finishing the final room, which had a treasure chest in the castle.
The treasure chest gave a bunch of resources and also a mysterious crystal that seemed to help in Soul Refinement, given its name-Soul Refinement Stone.
One could absorb the energy from it that was similar to the pure soul essence Aleron absorbed in Soul Genesis Nexus to speed up soul refinement and progress faster. Naturally, this was a limited resource as the crystal would turn into dust after absorbing whatever amount of pure soul essence it had, but it was valuable nonetheless.
"If each island and various phenomenon I see have such a treasure chest hidden, then this is indeed a big trove of treasures," Aleron grinned.
Even if he didn't need them because he had already progressed considerably, these resources could be used by his people!
"Alright, time to hunt in hardcore."
...
Time passed as minutes turned into hours and hours into days.
Special Dungeon's exit point was unique. If one just thought about exiting, a portal would appear close to their skin, and they could just enter and finish their exploration.
But the catch was that one could only call upon that exit portal one time.
Upon landing in thick trouble and almost dying, many participants started leaving, with the first one leaving three days later.
And then, people started leaving one by one.
By the 5th day, 76 people had already exited, while eight had died inside based on the soul lamps' indication outside.
A few more people left on the sixth day, and ten people exited on the seventh day.
On the 8th day, only one person was in the Special Dungeon.
Aleron was clearing all the islands and phenomena as if he were strolling through a park.
He had hauled rewards from eighty-seven Treasure chests so far, and he still had many to explore.
Aleron started taking it leisurely after a few days because there was no danger here that could threaten him.
Of course, he wasn't idling, but he was clearing ruins and getting treasure at a certain pace. Once he was tired, he would find a spot and recover to prime condition before going again.
With his Cosmic Eye spreading everywhere and marking each island and phenomenon, Aleron just needed to teleport to go to the next destination.
Eight more days passed by, and Aleron had just cleared the last island, successfully getting its treasure chest and rewards inside.
He had gotten all sorts of items and resources, including Special Unbound-rank Innate Gears, Chaos Breathing Arts, weapons, other items, and a myriad of resources.
"I guess this is it," Aleron smiled as he put away the rewards into his spatial storage.
But suddenly, everything started trembling.
It wasn't just the earthquake on this island, but the whole dimension was trembling.
[You have successfully cleared a Special Dungeon with a 100% exploration rate.]
[This special dungeon will proceed for upgrade and become a Transcendent-grade Special Dungeon.]
[You will be exited from this dungeon after five seconds.]
"Interesting," Aleron was surprised. "Isn't this very good?"
[Gachapi: Well, well, well...Proper Path Alliance is going to benefit from this a lot.]
Aleron blinked, his eyes glinting as he grinned. "Not if I become a transcendent rank and enter
this."
Suddenly, Aleron felt something awakening in him. 'Eh? It's Astral's core.'
[Astral: WOOONDERFU-]
Aleron exited from the dungeon as five seconds were up, cutting off Astral's grand entrance after his awakening.
-
Outside, Aleron was alone at the gate, but he could feel auras approaching. Grand Elder Medellin also arrived here in a jiffy, looking at the Dungeon Gate with interest. "What's going
on?"
After all, the Dungeon Entrance was undergoing changes, a complete transformation.
Lilisa, Sid, and others also arrived.
"It's changing...this has never happened before," someone muttered.
"No...this has happened before, but very rarely. So rarely that the last time it happened was thousands of years ago," Grand Elder Medellin said as her eyes glittered. Turning to Aleron, she said, "You cleared the entire dungeon completely."
"That's right," Aleron modestly chuckled. "It's going to transform into a new special
dungeon, but a level higher, at Transcendent grade."
The Dungeon Gate finished its transformation with fancy purple and brown wood texture, demonic blue wisps floating around it, and eccentric carvings on it.
But suddenly, it started turning faint.
"Contact the branch in the third region right away! We have to find this Dungeon Gate
somewhere there," Grand Elder Medellin hurriedly said before she pointed her finger at the Dungeon Gate, a tiny blade manifesting that shot at the Dungeon Gate's pillar, making a
mark.
A second later, it vanished.
"I have to go now. Handle the matters here, Lilisa. And send someone in your stead in the first
region's branch."
Lilisa was overjoyed. "As you wish."
Turning to Sid, she smirked, "Sid, how about you become the Branch Master? Depart right away."
Sid was internally fuming, but he had no other choice.
'Damn it! Damn it!'
Sid also left.
However, the other four elders at transcendent rank looked at Aleron, their eyes containing
greedy lights.
One of them coughed and asked, "So what did you acquire in the Dungeon, Aleron?"
"It must be quite a big haul, right?" another quipped in.
"Usually, we don't ask for rewards, but considering that you don't need all of those resources,
how about we buy them from you? Of course, we'll buy it at a cheaper price, considering
you're part of the alliance."
Lilisa snorted loudly, "He isn't selling you anything, not you."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Lilisa, that is up to him."
Aleron lightly laughed and shook his head, "Sorry, but I am not selling anything."
"Anyway, can I go now?" he added as he turned to Lilisa.
"Yeah, sure. Go get rest and relax. All you have to do is to focus on getting stronger. If you
want to process some resources into pills, I'll handle that. Just contact me later," Lilisa
smiled.
"Great. I'll do that, thanks."
"Oh, and your new home is the mansion that I showed you first."
"Got it."
...
Aleron arrived at the grand and aesthetic mansion. Seeing that Luna, Ruan, and Liang were
bathing in the big bathroom with a pool in it, Aleron mischievously smiled and directly
teleported there.
Well, the atmosphere soon turned passionate as various kinds of moans filled the bathroom.
Aleron had fun with Luna, Ruan, and Liang for two hours before he relaxed in the pool with
them.
"So what were you doing? Seemed like you were exhausted," Aleron asked. Liang to his right
and Luna to his left, his arms around their shoulders while his hands were playful, touching and playing with their supple breasts.
Meanwhile, Ruan was between his legs and her head rested on his chest, dizzy and half-
sleeping as she was still swimming in pleasure.
"We were out to explore a chaotic phenomenon," Luna grinned, her smile like a fresh breeze in an open plain. "It was fun, and now we are fully recovered, thanks to you." "Everyone only needs some resources now, and we can break through to the Unbound rank, so
Lilisa arranged a mission for us," Liang said while smiling, her head resting on his shoulder.
Suddenly, the door of the bathroom opened as Enorin, Mei, Yueha, Rias, and Shelby arrived with towels wrapped around their bodies.
"We were tired of waiting, so we decided to just come in," Rias cheekily smiled.
"Master, I hope you are ready for a long battle," Yueha grinned.
Aleron laughed with gusto and stood up as he teleported Ruan into her room since she had
already fallen asleep.
"Well then, let's start."
Luna and Liang also had enough, and they wanted to properly absorb the power Aleron shot
into them and consolidate their body, so Aleron also teleported them away before a new round of passionate war began.
Aleron and the girls were playing naughty games in the bathroom, having fun with all of them one by one for six hours.
