"We made it," Nicko cheered.

"Calm down, we still have to defeat the [Dungeon Boss]," Kaloko replied.

The group stood at the front of a massive door, its metal knob was severely rusted, the wood was old and dry, and it gave off the smell of death. The group were tired, they were finally here, the end of the Kethral dungeon.

"Is this it Rache?" Harri asked the white spider on his shoulder.

"Indeed it is Harri. Before I was chased out, I saw it many times, this is where the father of all the [Kethral Spiders] lives," Rache telepathically said back.

"Rache confirms that this is the door, let's rest, for a while," Harri said to everyone.

"Yeah, our armour is damaged quite a bit and Harri, those runes have almost worn off," Nicko replied.

"GIve them to Atogin for them to get repaired, and then give them to me,"

"Alright,"

Everyone took off all their protective parts and gave them to Atogin. Harri took some dark rocks out of the [Infinite Item Box] and threw them around Atogin. Atogin started to pick them up and use an ability called [Forge], which allowed the user to repair and fuse metallic objects with different materials. Although the original metal will differ what metals can be used with [Forge] on it.

After Atogin was finished with repairing the armour, he would throw it back to Harri. Harri continued the repair by taking out his wand and started to say "Disperse" before continuing. Harri used an ability which he learned from the old lady in Newtown. The ability was [Rune Marking].

By writing words around the object in a certain manner, he can imbue them with lasting spells.

"まなるし,ぐつぼおつ,へあぅ, 黒いろん しきん" Harri repeated for every piece of armour.

Each one gained a mana buff, stamina buff, healing buff, and a hardening spell, allowing them to fight for longer.

After that, Harri started to take off his protective cloth, got a needle, and started to sow. The string Harri was using was created by Rache which converted her body into a string, and then grow back by eating. The string was stronger than anything Harri had, as well as conducted numerous things quite well, like heat and electricity.

One by one, the group's armour and clothing were better than ever. Nicko then received his cooking materials from Harri.

Afterwards, Harri used a new ability from the [Infinite Item Box]. From a meter radius, Harri could pick up small items and store them in the [Infinite Item Box], the maximum size was about an average chickens size. Harri used this ability to get all the leftover ore that Atogin left behind.

By the time Harri was done, their final meal before killing the boss was ready. Everyone scarfed down the slightly better tasting spider soup that Nicko prepared. They were now ready to enter the Boss room.

The group took their position, Harri and Kaloko in the back, whilst Enar, Atogin and Nicko were in the front. Before they went in, Harri cast some spells.

"[Mana rush], [Gut's Gain], [Green Aura],[Copper skin]!" Harri chanted before chugging on a small [Blueshroom mana potion].

As the group readied their weapons, Nicko and Enar started to push open the door, revealing the boss area. What revealed itself was brightly lit room filled with hills purely made out of Sals, jewels, as well as some items and scrolls. All of the group were on guard, waiting for the Boss to reveal itself. For about half a minute the room was silent until the closest gold hill started to speak.

"Ah, the white freak has returned, it seems you have brought some friends," The gold hill spoke in a tremulous voice.

"Indeed I have f-father, and now my name is Rache now," The white spider replied, with only Harri hearing her words.

"You shall have no name, there is only one name in this Dungeon and it is mine!"

The hill started to shower itself onto everyone, leaving in its place a giant funnel-web spider. Quickly, everyone used either [Appraisal] or [Analyze] on it.

[Atrax the first]

[Level: 30]

[Species: Magna Web Aranea Kethral Funnel]

[The boss of the Kethral Dungeon]

[Type: First Kill Boss]

Everyone took a stance and waited for Atrax to attack. The spider made the first move and spit a small projectile at Harri. Before it could reach him, Dropley flung off Harri's shoulder and absorbed the hit. Suddenly, a blue status board appeared in front of Harri.

[Magna Web Aranea Kethral Funnel venom]

[Has acidic properties]

[Can melt through damaged weapons, but nothing organic]

"Guys, the acid that Dropley ingested can burn through your damaged weapons, be careful," Harri yelled out.

"Thank's Harri, now then, let's start our assault," Atogin replied.

Atogin and Enar used an ability called [Pinpoint], which showed weak spots in creatures, Atrax's weak spots were the joint's in his legs and it's lower abdomen. Atogin and Enar were able to slice off Atrax's first two legs.

Atogin continued his assault by using the ability called [Slide] and slid underneath Atrax. Not slicing his abdomen, he instead wrapped around some chains around Atrax's legs before leaving. Before Atrax could break free of the chains, Nicko finished it off by slicing Atrax in the middle of its head, killing it.

[Your party has slain [Atrax the First]]

[+1 exp]

"Nicko how much exp did you get?" Kaloko quickly asked

"Only one, and I got the finishing blow," Nicko replied.

"That probably means, this is his first form, everyone quick, he's probably changing,"

The moment Kaloko finished her sentence, Atrax's corpse started to change. It's brown and black corpse started to change to a dark red and blue, the limbs Enar and Atogin cut off regrew and Atrax grew twice in size.

Soon after, monstrous spider's started to crawl out of the golden hills, shrinking the hills with each one appearing. After a while, another status plate appeared in front of the group.

[Atrax's 100 guards]

[The protectors of the healing Atrax]

[Must defeat all 100 to deal damage to Atrax]

"Challenge accepted," Kaloko said in a smug tone, drawing her bow.

Nicko, Atogin and Enar charged through the spider's, whilst Harri and Kaloko were firing at the spiders at a distance. It was not long before the group made their way through the hundred guards and back to Atrax.

Atrax had recovered with its head slightly above the ground. Kaloko noticed this and warned everyone.

"Stop, this is what Atrax wants," Kaloko yelled out.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you were a biologist," Nicko replied.

"This is a funnel-web spider, it's stance, if we get to close, we'll be eaten,"

"How do we play is safe then Kaloko?"

"I know," said Harri. "I have a plan,"

Everyone huddled together, keeping an eye on Atrax as they talked. After a while, everyone agreed on the plan. Harri gave Kaloko something and took a position. Harri started to run towards Atrax, with the staff in his hand, Harri was ready to cast a spell.

By the time Harri reached Atrax's mouth, Atrax took notice and showed its fangs. Before the fangs touched Harri, he said something.

"[Swap] [Ice spider core]," Harri said.

Harri disappeared and a bright blue core was in its place. Atrax's fate was decided.

"[Icicle Charge]" Harri said.

A large icicle erupted from Harri's staff, which hit the core and froze Atrax. Nicko jumped towards Atrax and punched him, shattering the spider in many pieces.

[You have defeated the Dungeon Boss]

[You have gained 100,000 exp]

[You have levelled up]

[24-25]

[Hp + 7]

[Str + 3]

[MP + 10]

[Spd + 4]

[Stm + 5]

[Your [Sewer] has become [Horrible puppeteer]]

[You have gained the ability [Cloth Control]]

[You can now evolve]

"Evolve?" Harri thought. "I mean Atogin did it, so why is this a surprise to me?"

"Neat, I can now evolve," Kaloko said.

"Same here," Enar and Nicko replied.

"I can also evolve now," Harri shouted. "But let's ask the person how does it go?"

Everyone looked at Atogin.

"You are put into a slumber pretty much, you are in a dark room and you can choose what you want to evolve into, like the [Skill trees]," Atogin said.

"Should we do it now?" Harri asked.

"No, I think that's the reason why I was asleep for quite a long time, that and my recovery"

"So not now,"

"Yes,"

"Anyway, should we loot the place?"

A golden status board appeared before everyone.

[Kethral Riches]

[You can choose one item to take]

[If you do:]

[The mines of Kethral will flourish with materials]

[The monsters will become very weak]

[Note: This is a one time opportunity]

No one said anything as they started to look around.

Harri only wanted one thing, a powerful weapon. A weapon that can be used for magic, but can also inflict physical damage. Not long after, Harri saw a large black battle scythe. When Harri touched it, he realized that its blade had a handle which could be pulled down to make it a large magic staff, perfect for him. Quickly, Harri used [Analyze] on the scythe.

[Chaos Collum]

[ýçˋ²ýˍ²ȕ˷ˋ²ȕȟý²˽˂áȕˋ˫öƣˋˆˋá²˽˂âˋ²ãȜ²]] ܜ²[ðýâáɋ²ˍý˫ðˋâ²ȟ˷ˋç²ȕ˷ˋ²ȟý˫þâ²ȟ˂á²˽˂âˋµ²ƣȕ¾á²˂ãƣþƣȕȜ²ȟ˂á²ýüȕ˽˂ȕˆ˷ˋâµ²ãˋƣçð²˂ãþˋ²ȕý²âˋáȕ˫ý[[Ȝ]²ˆýüçȕþˋáá²ˋ˽öƣ˫ˋá²ƣç²˂²þƣˍˋȕƣ˽ˋɋ²áˋˋƣçð²ȟ˷˂ȕ²ȕ˷ˋ²ðýâá²˷˂Ⲉ˫ˋ˂ȕˋâµ²ȕ˷ˋȜ²ˆ˫ˋ˂ȕˋâ²ȕ˷ˋ²áˋˆýçâ²[˽]˂áȕˋ˫öƣˋˆˋµ²ˆ˷˂ýá²˫ýȟµ²˂²ȟˋ˂öýç²ýˍ²öˋ˂ˆˋµ²ȟƣȕ˷ˋ˫²˂þþýȟƣçð²ȕ˷ƣá²ȟˋ˂öýç²ȕý²ãˋ²áˋ˂þˋâµ²ý˫²ȕý[[²˽]˂êƣ˽ƣèˋ²ƣȕá²öýȟˋ˫ɋ²˂ˍȕˋ˫²áý˽ˋ²ȕƣ˽ˋµ²ãýȕ˷²ýˍ²ȕ˷ˋáˋ²ȟˋ˂öýçá²ȟˋ˫ˋ²áˋ˂þˋâµ²ãüȕ²þˋðˋçâá²á˂Ȝ²ȕ˷[[˂ȕ²]ȕ˷ˋȜ²ȟƣþþ²ãˋ²˫ˋüçƣȕˋâ²ýçˆˋ²˂ð˂ƣçɋ]

[Grow's with the user]

[Ability: Rebound]

[Absorbs either a physical or magical attack and stores it, by saying the ability again, it is released at twice the power]

[Cooldown time: 1 hour]

Last time Harri saw the encrypted text, it was when Kaloko killed that Dark Hobgoblin leader, he wanted this.

Harri picked it up and got another status screen.

[Are you sure you want to choose [Chaos Collum]?]

[Yes] [No]

[Yes]

[You cannot pick up any other [Kethral Treasure]]

Harri turned around to see that everyone was there except Atogin. Not long after, Atogin came bursting out of some gold heap with a scroll in hand.

"What did everyone else get?" Atogin asked.

"Battle Scythe," Harri replied.

"I got myself a feather that will make me an angel," Enar said in a graceful tone.

"I got an egg, like Enar, it will turn me into a dragon-kin," Nicko replied.

"I got an ability scroll, [Invincible Draw]," Kaloko grunted.

"Same here," Atogin said afterwards."It's called [Limit Break],"

"Unlike my scroll where the name says the ability, what's that?"

"You'll see,"

"Fine, keep your secrets,"

"Anyway, is everyone ready to make the journey back,"

"Yes," Nicko quickly shouted.

"Alright then, don't need to yell,"

"It's better that way,"

The group turned their head towards the door and opened it. After taking ten steps away from the door, it closed. Everyone was ready to leave, except a certain stone caught Harri's attention. It had a red glint, but then it disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Nicko took notice of Harri looking back.

"Are you having another one of you hallucinations?" Nicko asked Harri.

"No, I swear I saw a red reflection," Harri replied.

"Can you see it now?"

"Well, um, no,"

"Then stop standing around and follow us,"

That red glint was real, it just shattered itself into dust the moment Harri looked at it. But there was something in that stone, it went to Harri. Little by little the appearance of Harri's red-eye was changing, from a basic red to a sparkling crimson.
