Chapter 214: *The next purple dungeon*
Kevin then said to him, feeling a little frustrated, "I wanted to tell everything to Ashton because I think he has a lot of potential, and as you just said, he is smart and benevolent... But now I’m not sure if it’s a good idea."
Alan then told him, "If you’re hesitant, I’m okay with telling him everything. Ashton has already shown that he wants to prove himself and can stand up to his parents and stick to his decisions; otherwise, he wouldn’t be at Sun Sect today."
Axel and Erik also agreed. Kevin, who was still hesitant, asked Liam, "I want an honest answer from you: can we trust him?"
Liam looked at Ian, and they both nodded. Liam then said, "I agree with Alan; Ashton just wants to be allowed to prove himself. He wants to be worthy of being able to fight alongside the future bearer of the Pentagram Mark... which is kind of ironic, because that’s what he’s already doing."
Ian looked at him curiously and asked, "Why are you hesitating if you already wanted to tell him everything?"
Kevin then became very serious and told them, "You can become a traitor easily when it’s for family or for love, but like Alan said, Ashton wouldn’t be here if he wanted to please his parents. I’m sure they’re even mad at him."
Liam smiled and said to him, "You have no idea. They wanted to brag all over the capital that their son was the greatest genius of his generation and wanted to see him shine at the academy. But ultimately, they have to be satisfied with the fact that he’s at the Sun Sect, and on top of that, Ashton seems to enjoy keeping a low profile."
They all laughed, and Kevin told them that he would tell everything to Ashton as soon as possible. He had always thought that he would be a very good asset, and he was pleased to see that everyone agreed with him, but he would have to make sure that he didn’t tell anything to his family.
Alan, for his part, didn’t ask any more questions about his family, but he seemed happy, and after the meal, they finally got out of the dungeon and followed Ian to the next purple dungeon, which he said was full of summoned creatures.
When they arrived, Kevin couldn’t help but smile because, from the notifications that had just popped up, Ian was right.

After reading the information to everyone, Kevin then asked them, "I guess the summoned creatures won’t be dead knights this time, right?"
Liam shocked his head and said to him, "You’re wrong; we’ll be fighting dead knights, but they’ll all be more or less the same level as the Elementaries we just faced."
He looked at Ian and asked him, "You take care of Kevin and Erik, and I’ll take care of Axel and Alan, ok?"
Ian nodded and told him, "Don’t forget that we have to kill all the summoned creatures and the dungeon boss; it’s worth trying to win as many of those legendary boxes as possible."
He turned to Kevin and said, "It’s going to be a bit annoying for you, but you’re going to have to keep us updated on the number of summoned creatures."
Kevin smiled and said, "No worries, I will let you know anytime."
In fact, the number of summoned creatures to kill had just been displayed in front of him, and it didn’t seem to want to disappear; it was perfect like that; it would save him from having to constantly check their numbers.
They were all equipped and ready to fight again, so Liam gave the start, "Let’s go, guys! 880 summoned creatures is not a joke, so stay together no matter what, and avoid being hit by purple fireballs; otherwise, you’ll feel it."
Liam and Ian entered first, and the others followed right after. This time, they didn’t have time to wonder where to start because there were already dead knights waiting for them on the other side of the purple vortex.
But there were not only dead knights; notifications appeared, and there were really a lot of them—between 40 and 50 or so. Among all these notifications, he could see 2 distinct summoned creatures and 1 summoner.
[ STATS ]
Name: Dead knight
Race: Summoned creature
Level: 57
[ STATS ]
Name: Dead wizard
Race: Summoned creature
Level: 71
The dead wizards were all a bit stronger than the dead knights; fortunately, there were also a lot fewer of them. The only problem was that they seemed to be able to cast spells at will, and so red and purple fireballs were flying all over the place.
The dead knights seemed to be immune, though, to these spells because even when they were hit by a fireball, they didn’t even slow down. The only good thing about all this mess was that these dead wizards didn’t seem to be able to summon creatures.
Kevin finally found the summoner, who was hiding in a corner protected by dead knights, and as Ian had just said, it was better to try to complete the two optional quests to be able to win a maximum of boxes. So he didn’t hesitate for a moment and used his Chains of Restraint to immobilize him and make him unable to summon other creatures; otherwise, with his level, they would have to fight for a while if he decided to summon other creatures.
[ STATS ]

Soul force: 5,650 / 7,000

When Liam saw that, he said to him, "Good job, Kev; I guess we don’t have to worry anymore about other summoned creatures showing up."
Kevin confirmed it, and Liam then went a little further with Axel and Alan, while they left them under the protection of Ian.
Kevin was fighting with his shortswords this time around, as only decapitation would kill these summoned creatures, and now that his Stats had all been boosted by 100 points thanks to the unlocking of his Warrior Spirit skill, he was really having fun.
