"Did you class change? Can you cast magic now?" Sicily checked peter out. There was nothing on him suggesting any class change apart from the name.

"Yeah, I just got this new class. U can't use mana yet for attacks since I haven't attuned to the elements yet. This dungeon boss should be able to help out. I think I need it's mana crystal to gain tier 2 skills." "Can't wait to reach level 40, I want to try the magic stuff." "Technically you need to reach 41. Tier 3 advancement is a must for it." "Then how did you do it?" "I got lucky."

Peter led them to where he met Vayazi first. "She said it's next to this place." The team spread out looking for the entrance while peter fixed his mana defence shield. Since it wasn't possible to use mana blade without the mastery, peter reserved all his mana to the shield ending up boosting his total defence to a massive 23120. The defence shield worked similar to armour defence and stacked over it.

Within a few minutes, Anya and Mary found the entrance to what the system recognised as a dungeon. There were runes on the stone pillars which supported the cave roof. As soon as the party approached the entrance a notification rang out informing them derails of the dungeon.

Dungeon: Earth Shatterers' Cavern.

Location: Eastern Alderriver Forest.

The party was immediately teleported into the interior of the cave.

The two girls squealed like two happy birds while Sicily had her grin so wide it became unnatural. "Sorry, I think only the party leader can have dungeon rights.", which instantly changed the attitude of the girls. Reluctantly, peter handed over the leadership to Sicily which instantly brightened the girls' mood.

The girls lost their smile as soon as they saw the first monster that paraded around like it owned the place keeping the eyes on the girls waiting for them to make the first move.

Sand Wolf LVL 30

HP: 20,000

AP: 7000

DEF: 3000

Harden, Pierce.

The wolf kept its pace waiting patiently for the group to approach. 'Shouldn't the animals attack them instead?' Everyone was confused by the strange behaviour of the wolf. Seeing the attack power of the wolf, Anya hesitated. To her, anything above 6000 was in a grey zone. Second-guessing whether they should continue Sicily looked towards Peter.

"Don't worry I can tank it." Sicily was more puzzles as to how peter could achieve something that the tanky Anya couldn't. Seeing their worry, peter clarified, "I have mana shield. It boosts my defence." This caused the rest of the girls to look forward to achieving their magic classes.

Approaching the wolf peter brandished his sword rushing forward to end the fight as soon as he could. The wolf responded in kind howling joining the fight. The extremely high defence didn't budge as the wolf tried to tear it apart. Peter was able to land a critical strike to the back of its neck eating away 15,000 health causing the wolf to a sudden retreat. Seeing the massive damage from the critical hit, Sicily and Anya stood with their jaw hung open while Mary cancelled her healing spell.

The wolf started looping around which peter took advantage of entering into another charge towards it ending its life.

Your party killed Sand Wolf. Your party gained 240 experience, shifting sand.

You gained 60 experience.

The howl attracted more sand wolf to them which peter deeply appreciated. Killing off the remaining was just as easy as the first one.

Your party killed x11 Sand Wolf. Your party gained 2640 experience, x11 shifting sand.

You gained 660 experience.

Completely ignoring the startled look on the girls face peter decided to push forward into the dungeon. The rest of the girls followed him without uttering a word.

Passing through the cavern, they appeared to what seemed like the first boss arena in the dungeon. A sand wolf which was slightly larger with a more yellow glow was sitting cross-legged in the middle. There were two narrow passages beyond the room. A large chest lay aside the two passages.

Shifting Sand Wolf ELITE LVL 30

HP: 60,000

AP: 8700

DEF: 5000

Harden, Pierce, Sand Shift, Pack Call.

The wolf laid still waiting for the opponents to enter the arena. As soon as peter stepped into the arena, the wolf gave a loud howl summoning two sand wolves to its side.

Minion Sand Wolf LVL 25

HP: 15000

AP: 5000

DEF: 1000

Bite, Scratch.

The two minions started walking around awaiting orders from their boss.

Harden. As soon as peter launched forward with his sword, the elite wolf used one of his skills preventing any damage. The minions around it struck him from the sides. The damage was again too low for it to be effective. Peter took both of them head-on but the elite suddenly charged at him with Pierce.

"Guys take the two minions away. I need to focus on the elite." Although the girls wanted to help peter, his extreme speed made it impossible for them to keep up. Sicily used scattershot on one of the minions and distracted it enough for peter to get a solid hit on the elite wolf.

The Anya rushed in to support as Maya cast a dot heal over the party and pulled herself back to the rare getting out of the way. With Anya taking over as the tank, Sicily killed the first minion in a few seconds only delayed due to the high agility of the wolf. Meanwhile, peter kept attacking the boss. He was a lot calmer as Anya proved the second minion soon after the first one was killed helping him to finally enjoy the battle rush. Once the two minions died the wolf tried to break away from peter to try and summon more, but with his superior speed, he was able to keep interrupting it.

Shifting sand.

The suddenly let out a low howl, dissipating into sand only to appear right next to Anya. The sudden agro shift disorganised the party but the smaller space made it easier for peter to get in between the wolves claws and his companions. The stunned Mary recovered fastest casting an interrupt pt to prevent another Pierce.

After a few more two and for struggles, the health of the wolf lowered down to 50% which suddenly used shifting sand to teleport to the corner of the arena. A sudden howl summoned four new minions around the wolf all of them slightly stronger than the previous two.

Minion Sand Wolf LVL 30

HP: 18000

AP: 5600

DEF: 2000

Bite, Scratch, Pierce, pack formation.

The four wolves rushed to the aid as the elite wolf shows signs of fatigue. This time, the wolves surrounded him slowly pacing around keeping an eye out for the girls. Seeing the new wolves, Anya and Sicily rushed in to help again. Unlike before, the two wolf minions evaded the attack and countered back.

"Watch it. It looks like they are in a formation." Sicily started moving shooting arrows constantly harassing one of the wolves while Anya stood closer to Mary trying to provoke another. The wolves didn't shift agro and completely ignored them launching another pincer piece attack. Again peter's agility stood true helping him avoid the attack. With the combined attack of over 22000 damage, peter could have lost his mana shield if not for that evasion.

Tired of just staying idle, peter commenced a counter attack breaking through their formation while the elite sand wolf stood aside trying to recover it's lost health. After a flurry of attacks, peter was able to kill two of the wolf minions and rushed towards the third and fourth. Soon the minions all died leaving the boss to fend for itself.

As soon as the minions died, the wolf wailed getting hit by a backlash lowering it's health to under 30000. The wolf phased in an out of sand trying it's best to stay away from Peter and summoning more minions. To peter this was childish. His extreme speed perfectly matched the shifting of the wolf casually taking away chunks of health.

Within a few seconds, the health dropped to almost 8000 as the wolf shifted out to the corner instantly summoning eight sand wolves.

HP: 20,000

AP: 7000

Harden, Pierce.

The easy to kill initial wolves that came to the aid of the boss creature fell soon under the barrage of peters swift sword attacks. To the wolf elite, this concluded its attack.

After the failed attempt, the wolf stood still trying to fight back with what little strength it had only to get killed by Peter's blade.

Your party killed the shifting sand wolf. Your party gained 6880 experience, chest key, x15 shifting sand, x2 wolf claws, x2 wolf fangs.

You gained 2293 experience.

Quest update: dungeon progress: 20%

Sicily who was the current party leader, went to the chest to check the rewards. The chest reward was level 30 armour pieces and two weapons. To peter, this was a downgrade, but the girls were thrilled that they could finally change out. Somehow this hurt Peter as he had never made any for them.

"I don't need the items but I could use the blueprint." Knowing that it was a specific drop meant the girls had to give the blueprint over to Peter. In dungeons, drops are often made for the party clearing it. Without peter, they would never get the shifting sands blueprint. With only 20% complete, peter looked forward to the rest of the dungeon.

"Peter how is your attack so powerful. Are you using mana skills for attacks as well?" Sicily grew curious to see how a level 21 character is more powerful than their party combined. Peter knew at some point this disparity would come up. Ge had even planned to stay hidden and let the girls carry him. The only issue was the dungeon difficulty far surpassed what he expected.

Unknown to peter, the dungeon difficulty was slightly modified to suit peter's quest. Most of the monsters also received added damage due to his legendary race. Otherwise, with his overbearing strength, it would be a walk for peter to collect the mana crystals and completing the dungeon.

Reluctantly peter was forced to show his new legendary class as well as the legendary sword to get them off the hook. Although he still had to make a promise to craft them all better equipment as soon as they are done with the dungeon. Peter was filled with guilt as he forgot to make the equipment for them so he was more than happy to make that promise.

As they stood in front of the diverging tunnels, they looked more eager to meet more monsters. Peter made the decision and chose to follow the left path. The path gee narrow as they progressed further into the cavern. Soon they managed to emerge out at a different part of the cave system. In front of them stood a massive underground lake.
