Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 819- Gish-Bolg, Drovos

Since the strength of the Elemental Constructs depended on the environment they were in, it was still hard to understand how powerful they were. However, Simon could already guess how powerful the being inside the egg would be once it hatched as the dungeon had already assigned it a role.

The bizarre golden egg that was currently being incubated under the spirit tree was given the highest authority after the dungeon master.

That's right, the Sixth Guardian of Dungeon Laplace was finally here. What's more, it was only after a few seconds that the egg came out of the abyss that the dungeon assigned it the role.

 To be assigned the role of Guardian which only special individuals like Cecilia, Wisp, Theodore and Maybell were deemed worthy to stand on, from this one could imagine how powerful the being inside the egg was.

Although Simon had no idea who or what kind of being was inside the egg, he at least knew that they weren't hostile to him or his dungeon or else the dungeon wouldn't have assigned them as a Guardian if that was the case.

"I guess there is no point in worrying about it. They will hatch when they hatch" As a royal among Forest Spring Spirits and gifted with heaven defying powers, it was Cecilia's idea to keep the egg near the Spirit tree.

When asked why, this was the answer he received—"I do not have a clear answer but I can feel that there is a strong connection between it and the spirit tree".

Since that was the case, Simon saw no harm in keeping the egg here. In any case, Cecilia and the forest spring spirits were here to take care of it.

 Simon turned around, just as he was about to teleport away to the main floor to continue his work and training, Jarred who now led a team of [Helpers] of his own, appeared before him.

"My lord" the boy who grew into a full fledged young man, spoke while bowing his head.

Now that the Fey, Maya and more and more Forest Spring Spirits have taken up the role of managing the dungeon, Simon gave the task of compiling the reports and various observations sent by Revenant crows placed around that area for surveillance to Jarred and his team.

"Raise your head"…

Jarred lifted his head and began his report "My lord, the Queen of Harpies has sent a messenger carrying intel for you. The messenger is waiting south of the Ancient Treants Territory".

"Oh!" Simon arched his brows. The Queen of Harpies, Melinda suffered a crushing defeat under his hand when she was in a weakened state and was placed under a soul contract by him.

As long as the other party was under the effect of his soul contract, they would never be able to betray him. In other words, she was one of his subordinates that wasn't made official.

Soon a sphere of sorts big enough to cover dozens of meters of land, formed around them and before one could even understand what was happening, the view of the training floor disappeared, replaced by nothing but blank whiteness.

The blankness surrounding them did not last long and soon an unfamiliar environment appeared before them. Bea looked around and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. From the looks of things, they were inside some cavern with glowing phosphorescence crystals illuminating the place.

The place was no doubt not inside the dungeon; however, how could that be, they were inside the dungeon just a moment ago. What's more, the ground that she was standing on, was still the soil from the dungeon. Which is to say, she hadn't taken any step from her initial place.

"So this is the [Phased Floor]"

Bea muttered under her breath. Being one of the [Administrators] of the dungeon, she was of course aware of the newest feature of the dungeon.

[Phased Floor], an enigmatic and newest addition to the dungeon. This feature transforms an external area that is separate from the dungeon, into a temporary extension of the dungeon.

Upon activation, the two areas switch places or perhaps become one, linking the floor with the outside area. Now, the training floor was temporarily connected with the cavern that they were in currently thus creating a passage to lead in and out of the dungeon.

Of course, there were several limitations and preconditions before one could use such a feature. However, once all conditions have been met, the feature really becomes quite handy.

 With Simon leading, the group stepped out of the area and the figures of beings with wings for hands and talons for legs, came into view.

Harpies… no matter who looked at them, they would recognise them as such immediately. There were a couple of them in front of the cavern, all of whom were the personal subordinates of Melinda.

 As Simon approached them, they landed on the ground and bowed their heads. The Hierarchy was clear, now that their queen had become subservient to this person, they who were lower in position than their queen must also bow their head and behave respectfully towards him.

"We have been awaiting your presence, Supreme Lord" the harpies spoke in unison. Supreme Lord?!! Simon arched his brows before shaking the thought off his head.

He nodded, acknowledging their fealty before asking "Let me hear the report Melinda sent you guys to give me"…

 "Yes" the harpy who seemed to be the most senior in command, nodded and gave her report "Her Majesty sent us to tell you that the king of the Black Ogres, Gil-Garna has formed an alliance with the king of the barren wild lands, Ivory Terraquake Rhino—Yverza to attack the Supreme Lord's dungeon"

"Right now, the opposition's forces which contain the Black Ogres and Terraquake Rhinos, number over thirty thousand. However, there is a growing concern about the Dungeon of the East among the Seven Kings. Although the possibility is low, the others might join the fray given their opportunistic nature. Our Queen was also offered to join the alliance and has accepted his offer under your orders".

So that was the case, Simon mulled over the information he just received. As he had thought, it was the king of the Black Ogres who was trying to act against him. After making the Queen of the Harpies his subordinate, he allowed their race to stay in their territory and govern themselves because he wanted to know the inside information on the Seven kings.
