Hero of Darkness

751 Strongest Dungeon

Most of the members from Misthios were puzzled after the human saint suddenly proposed to hire their entire guild just for a dungeon exploration out of nowhere. 

"You care to elaborate? It's not like we haven't done dungeon exploring for harvesting raw materials for alchemy before." spoke Loki aka Ceril. 

"Arghhmm! Let me explain properly. 

The thing is… I have been secretly developing a new recipe that will be even able to save a gravely injured person like performing a miracle for a couple of years now. 

Only few days ago did I make a breakthrough and finally deduce the core ingredients needed to enhance and perfect it. 

If I succeed in perfecting the recipe… then the product will be a huge success and instantly take over the market as well as the Alchemy community in a single swoop. 

Based on my estimation alone… We will be making 5 times the investment and manufacturing cost. 

Just imagine how rich we would be once the product is launched." he spoke with an enthusiastic tone. 

As soon as Kahn heard the word 'rich', his ears perked up and he revealed an interested face. 

"Tell me more." he spoke. 

Edmund then told them about a few rare materials needed for the recipe. 

But the requirement was that they need a lot of resources and that too in very high quantities. 

"I barely managed to get a few of them and in small quantities. But if I have more potent and better alternatives, it will definitely be a success." revealed the alchemist excitingly. 

"So which ones do you need? And where can we find them?" asked Legolas. 

"That's the main problem. We will not only need thousands of people to properly harvest them… I will also need to be there to guide them. 

I can't expect my alchemist to risk their lives for this task and there's also a risk of inside information leaking to our competitors. That's why, I need all of your manpower." responded Edmund with a gloomy voice, one could even feel his dejection through the mask on his face. 

"Also… the place where the materials can be found is the biggest issue. Since all of them can only be found in the biggest and hardest dungeon in the entire Zivot Empire." revealed the alchemist with a helpless voice. 

"You mean…" spoke Ronin and revealed an incredulous expression. 

Not only Ronin but everyone else had a serious expression while the saint revealed the place they had to go to. 

"Yes, the Immortal Dungeon."

----------------

In the Zivot Empire, there were 4 tiers of Dungeon classifications. 

Low Tier dungeon. These had 10-15 floors at maximum. For example, The Bromnir dungeon where Kahn usually hunted in and acquired Rathnaar's hidden core in Flavot city was one of such dungeons. 

Medium Tier dungeons had up to 50 floors. And their bosses were often legendary rank creatures naturally formed within the dungeon. These were the rare kind. 

Recently, Ronin had visited one of such dungeons and led his people to harvest materials and minerals from the final floor while he suppressed the boss using his aura alone. 

High Tier dungeons had up to 81 floors and usually, the boss was at least a monster comparable to a 3rd stage saint. 

Nonetheless, these hard-level dungeons were only 2nd in ranking. The ones above them were the Supreme Dungeons. 

These ones had 101 floors. 

Throughout the elven empire, there were only 5 Supreme dungeons. 

However, the hardest and the most threatening one of them was situated on the outskirts of Alfheim. 

Native inhabitants of Alfheim called it the Immortal Dungeon. 

Because this one was the only dungeon in history that hadn't been cleared by anyone in the past 1 thousand years ever since it was formed. And no being above the level of a 5th stage saint could enter them either because of the restrictions placed by the dungeon itself. 

Additionally, according to history and ancient records, no one ever managed to get past floor 81 boss that was a mythical rank monster. 

As for the final dungeon boss… no one had even seen it. People only made speculations that it would be a high-level mythical rank boss. 

Thus… even Kahn and his allies had a complicated expression because they too weren't confident in successfully exploring it. 

"The Immortal dungeon is being opened to public. This is our last chance." said Edmund, sighing again. 

Legolas then weighed the pros and cons in his mind. The profits were too good to let go and it would also greatly help them in the long run as well. 

"How many people do we need?" he questioned. 

"Like I said… all of your guild.

The only downside is that it would take at least a few months. 

This is not a dungeon where you can enter and leave at will. Many might even lose their minds along the way." replied Edmund. But in the following moments, he continued… 

"But if it's just us Saints… then the 10 of us would do. 

If I come, I have epic-rank artifacts to harvest those materials and resources in bulk. With Darwin's help here… we can speed up by twice. 

All you have to do is protect us in the meantime.

Because as far as the ancient rumors go… There are Mythical rank bosses." he iterated calmly. 

"Yes… Too many people would die if we brought them with us." spoke Raiden who stood on the left side of the office. 

Kahn also didn't want to let go of this opportunity and he had confidence in his escaping skills as well. Besides… their group wasn't exactly a normal bunch, but made of monsters, 3 of whom were mythical rank creatures themselves. 

"Alright. We will make arrangements." declared Legolas. 

"When do we have to leave?" he asked. 

Edmund then replied with an elated smile. 

"Tomorrow noon." 

----------------

Next day, Kahn left 5 of his doppelgangers to overlook and take command of Sparta and his guild under different identities and their main group of saints traveled to Immortal Dungeon using their recently bought warship. 

Finally, when they traveled 200 kilometers away from Alfheim, they came across an unexpected scenario. 

Millions of people from both the Mercenary and Adventurer professions as well as many independent forces from various parts of empire had suddenly come into the vicinity of the Immortal Dungeon. 

Just then… Legolas saw the force that was in charge of maintaining order. 

The Military.
