Chapter 203: Final Core Of Goblin Forest
[You have killed a Unique Monster: Lesser Greedy Goblin Boss.]
[.....]
[....]
’Hmmm! The monster was greedy? I mean, I know that goblins are supposed to be greedy, but having that engraved in your name is something else.’ While he was thinking about this, Dhruv realized something.
’Wait, the reason he was staring at me was because he was greedily eyeing the item I was wearing and not wanting to do something else with me.’ A smile appeared on his face the moment Dhruv thought about this.
’Phew!!! Man, I was almost about to quit my plan about him. It isn’t good behavior either, but it is miles better compared to ’that’ at least.’ Dhruv heaved a sigh of relief as he observed the body of the monster.
Boooommmm!
While Dhruv was staring at the monster, waiting for its core to appear, he heard the sound of something going off in the distance. Turning around, he saw that from the front of the village, a cloud of smoke was rising, forming something like a mushroom cloud.
Because here there wasn’t anyone who was restricting his strength, Vexar could fight with all his might. He was using all his explosive abilities as fast as he could practically cast them.
Having the blood of a phoenix in himself his mana storage was even more impressive than Dhruv’s which was nothing to be scoffed at.
’They are still at it...’ Thinking this, he quickly connected with them through the Mark and asked, [Should I join in the fun as well, or will you guys handle it?]
[Master, let me fight them... Please,] Vexar almost panickingly replied in a pleading voice.
’Man, he won’t learn...’ Knowing that it would be a waste of his time, Dhruv quickly approved that he could fight them all on his own.
[Alaric, please take care of him,] Dhruv silently sends a message to Alaric.
[Already doing that, master...] He heard Alaric reply. He didn’t know why, but he imagined Alaric was replying while saving the demon from some random attack.
’Poor man, I think everyone has a brother like this... so exhausting...’ Before he could uncover some deep memories, he quickly turned to face the monster once again.
Turning toward the corpse, he found that the core of the dungeon had already formed on top of the goblin’s corpse. Looking at the cores he found that thing magnificent to say the least.
’It is even more impressive than the one from the second floor. I mean, that is obvious; it is from the final floor after all.’ Dhruv thought as he compared the two cores.
First of all, this core was practically four times the size of the core found on the first floor. Then, more importantly, the amount of mana or some type of weird energy which was in the core was so great that Dhruv didn’t know what to do with it.
’Show me the description...’ Dhruv thought while picking up the core.
...
[Name: Final Core of Goblin Forest]
[Rank: Unknown]
[Tier: Unknown]
[Type: Artifact]
[Description: The Final Goblin Forest Core is a mystical and ancient orb that serves as the heart of the Goblin Forest Dungeon. You have snatched the core from its real owner, now it is in your possession... Do as you see fit.]
[Enchantment: ??? Source, Final Portal, ??? Consumption]
[??? Source: The final core is a great source of ???. Harness the power of ??? and let it dance in the palm of your hand.]
[Final Portal: The Final Core is the way for you to return home and close the dungeon permanently. Holding the core in your hand, say the word ’Final portal’ while sending some of your mana simultaneously. In just a few seconds, a portal will be created beside the one you entered here. The portal will remain for an hour, after which the dungeon will be closed permanently.]
[??? Consumption: There are multiple ways to use this core, and the most direct of them is to consume it. After consuming the core, a seed of ??? will be placed inside your core ?? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?...]
...
’What the heck is this core? Why are there so much enchantments on it? Is it to make the person greedy so it won’t close the dungeon? Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case.’ Sighing, Dhruv began to read the description of those enchantments.
’...And why is there a question mark before the name... Ugggg! Is it very high-tier stuff, maybe... maybe not.’ Placing his hand on his chin, he began to think about any possible word that could fit in the place of the question mark.
When, even after a minute of thinking, he couldn’t find anything, he knew that this was the cue to not ponder over it more.
’Let’s forget about the triple question mark and read the other ones...’ Before he could think about it more the sound of explosion distracted him.
Booooommmmmm!
Turning around toward the explosion, he whispers, "Enjoying, huh? Good, good."
He was about to read the other description of the enchantment when he suddenly heard a sound of distress ringing in his head.
[My lord, quickly come here...] the sound of the priestess rang in his mind.
’Lyra, how is she talking to me... And what happened? Why is she sounding so panicked? Did something happen? Did the water monster attack...’ All types of bad premonitions began to form in his head. Moving these thoughts away from his head, he replied.
[What happened? Is everyone safe?] Dhruv asked while running toward the middle of the village.
[Unfortunately, no, my lord. Olivia is gone...] Over a minute of conversation, Lyra explained everything through the mark.
’Shit... I have that potion that could heal her, right...’ Dhruv thought as he increased his pace.
[I’m on my way.] Dhruv quickly cut the connection and made a connection with the duo.
[I’m going to the island, keep the body of the boss safe...] Before they could ask anything, he explained what had happened.
[I will take care of that, Master. You can go without worrying about this.] Dhruv heard Alaric reply.
[Good luck.] Cutting the connection, he enters the portal.
In just five minutes of sprinting, he reached the portal on the first floor. Without waiting for anything, he began to sprint toward the portal that is in the middle of the floor.
After two minutes of travel, he sees the face of someone familiar...
’Lyra... So, that’s why she was able to talk to me...’
Reaching her quickly, he placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Let’s go, Lyra."
