Chapter 619 No rest for the wicked

Liam waited for some sort of notification to pop out but nothing of that sort happened. The only thing he was sure of was the fact that the dungeon in that area was really gone. He even spent a few more minutes to confirm this and combed through the area but the truth was the truth.

The elves all looked at him curiously wondering what happened to make him anxious. Liam did not share the news with them so they were still in the dark as a disappearing dungeon was something they wouldn't even think of in their wildest dreams.

For everyone in this world, the dungeons were a fact. For Liam as well it had been the same, that is until now.

The guy scratched his head and stood in a daze. Seriously! How did this happen? He hadn't even run the adventure mode and the nightmare mode. Heck, he had planned to absorb more fire essence to improve his affinity to the element and boost his attacks.

But he hadn't had a chance to make any of that happen. The damn dungeon had disappeared on him before that!

Liam bitterly smiled as he took out the stone tablet from his inventory space and stared at it. Was there some way to get the dungeon back? Come on. Show me the path!

But nope. He could spend days staring at that thing and nothing would ever show up. That's not how the damned stone tablet worked.

Liam lifted his head to look at the spot where the majestic mountain peak had previously been. A few days ago, he had stolen some meager amount of mana and for that, a damn lunatic was behind his life.

And now he had swallowed a whole dungeon. What was going to happen to him?

Liam clenched his fists as he tossed the tablet back into his inventory space. He stared at the empty spot for a while and then let out a deep sigh.

There were definitely going to be repercussions for this but the truth was that no matter what the repercussions, he had to see this through. The treasure in his hands was definitely not ordinary and there were only a few more days left before everything changed.

At this last moment, he couldn't really afford to put something like this in the backseat. At the same time, he had to reach the elves first crossing the barbarians. Both of them were equally important.

Liam thought about it for a moment and then made up his mind. Right now he was going to focus on leveling up and as for the stone tablet, his next target would be a Level 80 or Level 90 or perhaps a Level 100 dungeon.

Instead of raiding the smaller insignificant dungeons and making them disappear, in the process raising several red flags, it would be more useful for him to experiment with a higher-level dungeon directly.

The essence he could obtain from it would also be a lot higher. A level 60 dungeon could only give him so much before dying. A higher-level dungeon should give him so much more.

"Ok. I will do this." Liam made a decision and turned around to leave when suddenly a little rabbit popped out of him, twinkling in the darkness of the night.

"Hmmm? What is this now?" Liam only had a chance to barely open and close his mouth when the rabbit returned back to him and dropped a crystal on his palm before disappearing again.

"This…" He was speechless. He had only just now somewhat made up his mind and suddenly a new curve ball was thrown his way.

Liam stared at the crystal with apprehension. He still did not know what it was but he was not an idiot. The coincidence just now was too much to ignore.

The crystal in his hand was very similar to the crystals he had with him previously and it appeared right after the dungeon disappeared.

His mind spun as he quickly put two and two together. The crystal that appeared with the disappearance of the tower, the crystal he had found in the Gu family's secret residence, and now the crystal that popped up after the dungeon vanished! All three of them were probably of the same type!

"Maybe a power source for the tower or the dungeon? Or maybe…"

Liam snapped himself out of this trance as his thoughts began to run wild. He still concretely did not know what these crystals were and how they could be used if at all.

He needed to stop wasting time. This stone tablet and these crystals, he would get to them soon enough but for now, he needed to focus on the concrete thing that lay ahead of him.

Liam tossed the crystal as well into his inventory space and summoned his group of soul minions. "Let's move. Kill everything in your path." As if fleeing from the scene of the crime, the group was quickly gone from the area.

The elves were alarmed as they saw that the undead army in front of them had gained even more power and momentum as they massacred their way through the forest.

Liam also did not remain idle and his sword shone under the brilliance of the moonlight. There were so many frustrating unknowns at the moment but the thing that was constantly going to be by his side was his strength.

So he dashed forward as he cut his way through the beasts of the forests slowly and steadily improving his strength. His next target would be another Level 60 dungeon Swamp Mire.

This had the same mechanics as the previous dungeon where all the mobs rushed toward the intruders at the same time.

So to make the best use of his legendary items, Liam chose this dungeon. Also, these dungeon runs were very fast so it was ideal for him to level up without wasting time.

Liam ran into the dungeon and summoned his underlings. In a second, several pairs of eyes popped out of the dirty swamp. He was surrounded on all sides by crocodiles. "Here we go again."
