"You seem somewhat knowledgeable about the dungeons," Chris said in a calm tone, "but you don't have to worry. No matter how strong the boss is, it will still be an E-Rank boss unless the dungeon is interconnected with another dungeon."

Sometimes in very rare cases, the dungeons of different or same ranks would be interconnected. Two entrances but both leading inside the center of the same dungeon.Unless the dungeon was interconnected to the dungeon of higher rank than B, Chris was confident about taking the dungeon with the party.

What Chris said calmed the others down.

Finally, after the walk of an hour and a half, they saw the light at the end of the cave.

"It seems to be the boss room. Prepare yourself!" Chris said as he raised his shield.

Everybody took out their arms. Oslo too took out his dagger which seemed as if it was about to break at any moment. The scratches in the dagger made it look ugly in comparison to the swords of others which were polished anew.

The boy seeing the dagger laughed and approached Oslo from the front.

"Your weapon is all beat up and it seems to be made up of black-horned rabbit. Seriously, are you trying to tickle boss to death?"

Oslo smiled and said,

"Yes!"

The boy was speechless. He wanted to make fun of him but when Oslo accepted it, he got disappointed. He pouted and walked to the front.

"You're no fun at all!"

Others in the group seemed to be disappointed as well. For their viewpoint, he just nobody, trying to mooch of easy money.

When they exited the cramped cave, a pond greeted them. But as before no monsters were there. Chris furrowed his brows as he stared at the pond. He knew what the pond was but his feeling of uncomfortable rose up.

Not everybody in the group knew what it was, so one of them asked,

"What is it, a leader?"

"It is the pond that would strengthen the body. The 'Pond of Evolution'". He said but didn't dare take another step since he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.

" Pond of Evolution! " Everybody in the group was drooling gazing at the pool.

"Something is wrong," Oslo exclaimed, " Normally a pond of evolution is of great importance to the monsters, but it seems every monster abandoned the pond which means there is something of more importance in the dungeon than the pool which made them vacate the pond and protect another thing."

"I thought so too because it was being easier than stealing candy from a kid!" Chris said as he looked at every direction. Not only his eyes but his sense couldn't detect any monsters as well.

"The thing for which they abandoned the pond must be something of great value but,"

He again furrowed his brows, " There seems to be no other entrance leading to the place. Only the entrance from which we entered is here. So, we don't have any means to enter the place which they are trying to protect."

" The pond of evolution is the only spoil so let's jump in it." He said looking at everyone in the group.

After he said that everyone jumped in the pond in excitement but Oslo again tried to confirm,

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, since pond can't be taken outside the dungeon and once we leave the dungeon, the dungeon would most like disappear. So, might as well soak when we still have the chance."

After he said that he too jumped in the pond. Oslo hesitated but still jumped in the pond.

When his whole body immersed in water he felt his whole body brimming with energy. The once lost abs were starting to show itself again but were only half showed when the water stopped working on him. The pond couldn't even strengthen his body till all abs showed itself.

"Was that it?" Oslo was half disappointed.

But at the party, Chris and the rest were the ones disappointed the most. The pond didn't strengthen its constitution a bit. It seemed it could only strengthen a body that was very weak but not the body of the adventurers above D-Rank. Except for some sellswords, everybody was disappointed. Even their control over magic wasn't affected in the least.

Upon the defeat of boss, the dungeon would disappear after everybody exited it but there were some dungeons which would disappear instantly upon the defeat of the boss and because of which, to date, thousands of adventurers were lost in Magic Land.

No one knew where they ended up and it was also one of the reasons Oslo didn't want his brother to become an adventurer. Because every dungeon was a potential risk he wanted his brother to be far away from such jobs.

When Chris was about to leave the pond, a head popped up above the water and said,

"There is something down there!"

Everybody was confused, Ben from Chris side asked,

"What did you find?"

The male aged man grinned and said,

"It seems to be the entrance. When I tried reaching the bottom of the pond, I found it. The pond has no bottom and upon swimming down, we'll reach the place. Maybe it is the place where all the monsters are and there may also be treasure raid leader talked about."

Upon hearing the word Treasure', the heart of sellswords sank as it now all belonged to 'Thousand Lake' Guild and the worse part about it was they had to help them take it.

Oslo, on the other hand, didn't seem to care since he was going to be paid and also got the chance to soak himself in the pond. He was happy.

"Don't lie! How can the pond have no bottom?" One man spoke in disbelief.

"It is up to you whether you believe me or not but friend what I told you was the truth." The man said in a calm tone. He then dived down the pond.

Chris and the rest followed in greed. When they dived about five meters, a blurred image of the ground caught their eyes. When their body left the water, they fell three floors down in the ground.

Chris and the group slowly picked themselves up as the water dropped from their armors. Chris looked up and said,

"It really had no bottom."

Ben cast his lighting magic but the water remained calm and not a ripple formed in it.

"Yeah, what you say is true."

"Does anybody have wings?" Chris asked looking at the group.

They shook their head and Chris didn't ask again.

Killing a monster was very tough but obtaining their skills and parts was seldom seen.

Only one in a millionth had the chance of obtaining its parts and one in ten thousand had the chance to obtain the runestones in which the skill of monster was stored.

Anna Raygal was called a prodigy in the Magic Land just because of obtaining a skill of a tiger beast to control the fire efficiently.

Chris then watched the cave in front of him. The cave was pitch dark and at the entrance one stick was burning in the wall.

"The only thing we can hope for is by exiting through this cave." He said in a calm tone.

Even if it didn't lead them to exit he could escape from here using the scroll the Guild gave him to escape.

Ben nodded in agreement when the ground started shaking violently.

Chris furrowed his brows and immediately lifted up his sword and shield.

One. Two. Three... Thirty.

"Everyone!" He shouted looking at the entrance, "Prepare yourself for the battle. A mob of monsters is coming in our direction."
