Kat looks at the orbs in both Pallus' hand and my own as she says, "Looks like we all managed to get an orb."

I nod my head and say, "Yeah."

"Uh..." I hear Damien stutter from behind us.

Wait, did he not...?

I turn around to look at him, only for him to avoid looking at me entirely.

"Looks like Damien didn't get an orb," Pallus says with an amused smirk on his face.

I look at Damien for a few seconds before simply stating, "It looks like Rose isn't the only unlucky one this time."

Pallus and Kat both snort in amusement.

"Har har, very funny," Damien says in a disgruntled tone before turning to the stairs.

"I bet you would like to go ahead and absorb those orbs, so just go," Damien says as he begins climbing the stairs, presumably to go to his office.

"Sure," I say with a smirk before turning around to leave the Guild building.

I pause after a few seconds before turning back around and calling to Damien, "Could you keep me updated about that orb theft?"

Damien pauses climbing the stairs and gives me a thumbsup without even turning around.

I turn around again and head towards the exit.

Kat quickly follows after me while Pallus calls to our backs, "I am going to wait to see if Rose can get an orb."

I raise my right hand to let him know that I heard before lowering it again and continuing on through the entrance of the Guild.

Fenrir

I suddenly sense something familiar enter my dungeon while I am cultivating.

Is that...?

No, it can't be!

I immediately shift my attention towards the entrance of my dungeon.

Standing there is a party of six people fighting the first group of wolves.

"Dawn," I mutter, "Look at the party that just entered."

The apparent leader of the party is at EL 2, meanwhile the rest of them are all only at EL 0.

Despite that, they all appear to be at least at CL 3.

That's odd.

"What's so strange about this party that you had to get me?" Dawn asks after studying the new intruders.

I continue watching the intruders as I say, "I sense void energy from them."

"What?!" Dawn shouts before trying to study the intruders again, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," I answer before adding, "Although to be specific, I can sense void energy coming from the pocket of one of the intruders."

I focus on one of the intruders in particular as I say, "The intruder with the daggers appears to be carrying something that is exuding void energy."

"I wonder what it is," Dawn mutters while looking at the intruder in question.

This particular intruder is not the one at EL 2, so it is quite possible that he could die within my dungeon.

I feel Dawn's attention on me before she asks, "Are you going to contact him if he doesn't die?"

I don't say anything for several minutes while watching the intruders slowly make their way through the first floor.

Dawn seems to take my silence as an answer and turns back to look at the intruders again.

They surprisingly make it through the first floor and onto the second floor, although not without casualties.

They lose two of their party members while fighting Olivia.

One of them died to her breath attack, while the other had his head crushed under her paws.

I became nervous that they would leave after losing a third of their party, but surprisingly they continued on to the second floor.

Now, they are entering the second room of the labyrinth.

By this point, the remaining survivors have all leveled up a couple of times.

The leader turns to the others before saying, "Let's leave after we finish this room."

The others all nod in agreement before they begin rushing towards the center of the room.

"Shit," I mutter in annoyance.

That one intruder better not leave with that item, whatever it is!

As they reach the center of the room, they each split up and go a different way, with the leader and the one holding the item I want going without anyone else while the remaining two head towards the path to the left of the bridge to the opposite corridor of the entrance.

The group of two intruders easily make it through the bridge without any problems, but the leader and the other intruder aren't so lucky.

The leader ends up tripping one of the spike traps, disabling one of his legs before he barely manages to kill the wolf guarding the button.

He then crawls across the ground to the button and presses it.

The intruder with my desired item ends up tripping two traps, completely disabling the use of one of his legs while wounding the other.

He then tries to crawl across the bridge and throws his dagger at the guardian wolf, striking it directly in its skull and killing it on the spot.

"Damn i-" I begin before noticing a level 1 wolf sneaking across the bridge without the intruder noticing.

The intruder is busy catching his breath and doesn't notice the wolf as it approaches.

After catching his breath, he tries to push himself up onto his leg to crawl towards the button, but instead ends up being bitten in his remaining leg by the wolf.

"What?!" The intruder shouts in a mixture of surprise and pain as he tries to kick the wolf with his other leg, only for it to barely move an inch thanks to his previous injuries from the traps.

He reaches for his thigh to find a dagger, only to remember that he had just thrown his last remaining dagger to kill the guardian wolf.

"Shit, Carl!" One of the other intruders notices his plight but is too far away to do anything.

Unfortunately for them, their archer was already killed earlier by Olivia.

The intruder tries to kick with the leg the wolf is latched on to in order to dislodge the wolf, knocking the wolf off balance in the process.

The wolf then slips on some of the intruder's blood and begins to fall off of the bridge while still having its jaw latched onto the intruder's leg, dragging him with it down into the pit of spears.

As soon as the intruder dies, I ignore whatever else happens to the party and immediately focus on whatever item the intruder had now that his personal aura is out of the way.

I pause for a second before asking, "What is that?"

Dawn focuses on it as well before flaring bright red and shouting, "That is an orb with void energy inside it!"

"An.... orb?" I ask, confused.
