Souta told the layout of the Dark Light of Eternal to everyone first. He explained to them that this was the only thing that he knew in this dungeon. This was enough for everyone to know some of the dangers hidden inside this high-level dungeon.

In case they ask how did he know the layout of the dungeon, Souta said that he scouted this dungeon yesterday after he cleared the mid-level dungeons with Yuko.

He only scouted it which means that he didn't know the ins and outs of the dungeon. Even though Souta knew this dungeon in the game, there's still a possibility that it was different in this world. He encountered a lot of things different from the game so he was prepared if something happened.

"So I'm going to ask you, captain. What are our chances in clearing this high-level dungeon?" A man with mohawk style hair asked him. He was Ginvi, the earth attribute mage of the Lanny group.

"Less than fifty percent..." Souta replied to him without a second thought. He already knew that their chances in clearing this dungeon were low. Their power level was low to complete this dungeon. They were only at the peak of C-rank.

But... The players in the game could clear this dungeon.

Before everyone could say something to him, Souta opened his mouth and said, "If any of you don't want to participate then you can go now and leave this place. I will not do anything to you. But once we entered the dungeon and someone broke the formation and didn't follow the orders then you will face the consequences."

With that, Souta managed to shut up the mouth of those who wanted to oppose to this mission. Well, it only came from the Lanny group. The Dark Oculus will follow Souta as they trusted him.

"Tsk!" Ginvi clicked his tongue.

Jagret patted his shoulder and looked at Souta. "We'll follow you, captain. After all, you're the one who chose us in your group."

When Souta and the rest arrived in the empire, Souta said that he didn't have a plan to clear the high-level dungeon but now, it changed.

Their chances of clearing this orange danger level dungeon grew higher as the Dark Oculus members enhanced their strength with the help of the mana fruits that Souta gave to them.

To think that he was planning on completing an orange danger level dungeon on version 1. It couldn't help it as they have the power of version 2 players.

"I know my limits so I wouldn't enter an orange danger level dungeon if we didn't have a chance to clear it," Souta said to them. He then took a deep breath and said, "Lumilia will be the one who will command us in this dungeon raid. We will launch a full raid in this high-level dungeon and plunder everything."

He turned to the Lanny group and said, "Before you complain let me say something. I wouldn't be able to command you because I'll join the battlefield." Slowly the corner of his mouth curved upward. He grinned widely while looking at them before he said, "I'll plan to annihilate everything that got in our way of conquering that dungeon."

His excitement was overflowing. He couldn't help it because he would be able to complete his universal grade equipment. The stats of the earring will undergo a huge change once he managed to get the other part.

Right now, the earring only gave him +10 of his three attributes. It was nothing compared to his sword that raised his stats by 200.

No one would be able to stop him from getting that earring.

"Okay, I'll take no for an answer. You can go back now and pack the things that you need in raiding dungeons." Souta dismissed them but he remembered something. "One more thing, please remember that a high-level dungeon is twenty times larger than the mid-level dungeon. We will stay in that dungeon for one or two days."

It's only natural that an orange danger level dungeon was larger than mid-level dungeons. That dungeon houses more than 3 third evolution monsters. The third evolution monsters were the raid boss of this level of dungeon.

In the game, the dungeons have level restrictions. If a player's level was too high, then he wouldn't be able to enter a low-level dungeon. But for low-level players, there were no level restrictions for them. They could enter high-level dungeons.

There's also a player capacity for each dungeon. For a low-level dungeon, the maximum player that could enter it was six. For mid, it was sixteen. And for the high-level dungeon, it was twenty-four.

But in this world, there were no restrictions. He could do anything in this world. He even visited a brothel and have intercourse with the people of this world. In the game, no one would be able to do it.

They left Souta's room but Lumilia was stopped by Souta. He was planning to expand her knowledge about this high-level dungeon. She was their strategist so it was important for her to know it.

The Lanny group was displeased with her. They didn't complain because of Souta's words. They weren't familiar with Lumilia so how could they trust their life to a mere student.

The Dark Oculus didn't have a problem with it. They knew that Souta always left the commanding position to Lumilia and head into the battlefield. For them, Souta prefers to fight than commanding his comrades.

Souta told everything he knew about the monsters that inhabited the Dark Light of Eternal Dungeon. It was important so that she wouldn't waste her time trying to know the traits and characteristics of each monster.

He also didn't forget to tell her each member of Lanny group. He explained their class, skills, and abilities to Lumilia so that she would be able to command them. At least, she knew what they could do.

He also told her the strategy of players in clearing dungeons. The players had various strategies in clearing dungeons. He was sure that it would open up her world.

After telling her everything, Lumilia left Souta's room.

"I always raid dungeons before but now..." Souta muttered as he looked at the door. If this was a game, Souta would rush inside the dungeon without care. Even if he died many times, he will continue to enter the dungeon until he cleared it and gathered all the treasure inside it.

But now, he understood that his power alone wasn't enough. That's why he was slowly gathering trusted comrades to fill his weaknesses.

Souta lay on the bed and closed his eyes. 'Yuko, stay here for a while. I will summon you when we arrive in the dungeon.' He said through his connection with Yuko.

...

They finished preparing their things and they gathered in the Adventurers Guild. They took monster subjugation and herb gathering quest. They would complete it in the Dark Light of Eternal Dungeon.

After that, the group went to the Dark Light of Eternal Dungeon. On their way, they faced some monsters and they killed them.

Two hours later, they arrived in front of the dungeon.

Souta looked at the Dark Oculus and Lanny group before he said, "Check the things that you need. Placed the potion where you could easily take it out. We don't know what will happen inside so it's better that we prepare ourselves than rushing inside without a plan. I'll just summon Yuko."

The group followed his words while Souta summoned Yuko beside him. Her power would be a great help in clearing this dungeon.

This dungeon was in the depths of the Black Belly Gully. A huge gully between the territory of two monster lords. It has a length of one kilometer and a width of one hundred meters. Its depth was greater than five hundred meters.

Before arriving here, they faced more than fifty second evolution monsters and one hundred first evolution monsters. They also saw some third evolution but they turned around so that they wouldn't face such monster.

It was a tough journey...

After a while, they finished checking their equipments. They stood in front of the dungeon with a gloomy expression. The air coming from the dungeon was giving them an ominous vibe.

Souta gripped the sword on his waist before he said, "Let's go." He stepped inside and the rest followed him.

This dungeon was entirely different from the dungeons that they have cleared before. The ceiling was high and the walls on each side were wide. The seven-meter Goblin Executioner could freely walk inside this dungeon.

It also gives them a hint on what's monster inside the dungeon.

The walls and ceiling have blue veins that were emitting light so they don't have to light their torches in this dungeon.

Yujin placed his palm on the walls and said, "This is a crystallization of mana. A phenomenon in which the mana in the air solidified. It could fetch a high price in the market. Just how the hell the Eternal Empire didn't discover this dungeon."

Souta just glanced at Yujin. The Eternal Empire wouldn't bother this place as it was between the territory of two monster lord. Only the higher-ups of the empire knew that there were monster lords in this forest.

"Souta! In front!" Lynn shouted as she sensed a presence in front of them.

"Oh? They are already here... We just enter the dungeon so why not let me look at it for a while." Souta said as a grin formed on his face while looking at the four-meter tall monsters in front of their group. "Lumilia, I'll leave the commanding position to you. Now, everyone let's murder these creeps."
