Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1183  Eggs Dungeon

"The reason that I could buy this island is simple, actually," said Mister White as he breathed in the cold and crisp air of nature. "No one could understand how to profit from something they cannot attain. But for me… I saw unexplored lands and hidden riches."

"How can we explore those lands without wings?" asked Sarohan with confusion as he looked upward, observing the infinite islands in the sky. "Even if we had wings, we cannot fly that much."

"I can carry us," said Koby as his ethereal arm flowed from its sleeve, turning into a blanket. However, Mister White raised his hand and shook his head. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If my dungeon can only be used by people with flight abilities, I would run out of business! Please follow me, gentlemen!"

Mister White led the way under Arthur\'s curious eyes, followed by his group members. Arthur followed, but his eyes could not part with the beauty above them. The blue, violet, and green were such a perfect mixture of colors that made him feel refreshed.

After a few minutes of walking, the group found a giant bush full of fluffy blue fruits that looked like cotton. Mister White walked to the bush and snatched one of the fruits before devouring it.

"No sane man would eat something inside a dungeon, but I was not very sane while young. I found out that I don\'t need to buy flight runic cards to explore this dungeon because…"

Before he finished his sentence, Mister White began levitating from the ground without any effort. Arthur and the rest were surprised, not knowing that Mister White could fly. But judging from his words, it was the fruit\'s effect!

"Because these fruits are anti-gravity!" said Mister White with a grin as he looked down at them from high above. "They create a small area of anti-gravity as long as you feed them mana! The best way is to digest them, of course, to ensure their breakdown."

"Anti-gravity fruit?" muttered Sarohan with shock, which Arthur experienced. He had heard about such plants that would feed on unique mana and give exotic fruits, but he never got to see one.

"As long as you channel mana to your stomach, you levitate! After stopping, the effect weakens until you start free falling," said Joe as he took one of the fruits and ate it, and his body levitated as well.

The rest hurried to snatch a fruit each, and Koby brought one for Arthur. The bush was empty after everyone ate their share, making everyone fly in the sky like spirits.

"Please have some, my lord," said Koby with respect as he gave one to Arthur, who studied the fruit with curiosity. It looked like cotton, but underneath was a sweet fruit that shimmered like a blue apple.

After biting into the fruit, juice flooded his mouth. The fruit was tasteless, but Sarohan screamed about how sweet it was. Koby also seemed to like the taste, reminding Arthur that he could taste food because of his powers.

[Empathize]

Arthur used a rune without anyone noticing, transferring the taste of the fruit to himself. This way, he got to taste it just like others, but it was the sweetest fruit he has ever eaten. Without his notice, he began levitating as well because he used mana to create the rune, passing his stomach.

"Look at me, my lord! I became a flying waiga!" shouted Sarohan as he swam across the air like it was water. Arthur laughed as he felt his body getting weightless, flying upward.

"The trial is on one of these islands. Every island can produce twenty fruits, so we have to stop at an island every two hours to eat more fruit."

As he explained, the entire group began levitating. Arthur was at the end, watching how experienced the group was at balancing their mana to fly with stability. Sarohan was rotating like a sheesh kebab, and Koby was secretly using his ethereal mana to stabilize himself.

This was no different than using his rune, levitate, so Arthur had no issues with stabilizing himself and following after the rest. On the way upward, Mister White was introducing his dungeon as if it was his home.

"This island here is called Beginning Egg, with monsters capable of living atop it. Any awakeners who enter this island feel like it\'s the hardest unless they know the secret of using the Gravity Fruit."

As the group approached the next island, they could see monsters roaming around it. These monsters were shaped like eggs with wings, spewing balls of elemental mana at their enemies.

"Is everything shaped like eggs here?"

"Just the islands and their minions," said Mister White with a smile. "My dungeon is therefore called Eggs Dungeon."

"Did you…"

"I named it. Unique, right?" asked Mister White with a grin before raising a hand for his men. "Take care of them, boys!"

Arthur watched each and every smuggler pull out an exotic mana rifle from his storage ring and aim at the eggs. As the monsters noticed them and began hurling fire, ice, and lightning, the smugglers pulled on their triggers at the same time.

Whoosh!

With a long whistle, the mana beams tore through the sky before striking the eggs without mercy. The monsters screamed before they burned to a crisp and fell through the skies. One of the smugglers put away his rifle before taking out a small artifact with a certain gravitational force.

The drops from the monsters all flew toward them, and the man put them away. Arthur and the rest were stunned at such organization and destructive power, making them a lethal force inside this dungeon.

"We should land on this next island! You have to see a certain memory," said Mister White toward Arthur with a grin. "The first quality to be invited into the Tower of Yalen is to have a sincere heart full of empathy."

"I am nothing but empathy," said Arthur with a grin. Mister White nodded and led them to the next island, which was shaped like an egg with ruins intertwined with trees.

As soon as the group landed on the island, several egg guards rushed from within the ruins with their spears. These monsters were literally guards in the shape of giant eggs with arms protruding from each side. The muscular arms held sharp spears, which they were not hesitant to thrust toward them.

"I have to ask… why eggs?" asked Arthur with confusion as he dodged the spearheads without even looking at the monsters. He slapped one of the spears, breaking it in half, before punching toward the eggshell.

Bang!

The fist connected with the eggshell, producing a resounding thud. Cobwebs spread across the eggshell before the guard fell to the ground, producing countless treasures and skill cores.

"…that\'s bountiful…" muttered Arthur as he looked down at the countless gold coins and skill cores. Although all of them were C-rank and below, they were still a lot for a single drop.

"Our lord is not just capable, but also extremely lucky," said Mister White as he glanced at the treasures with raised brows. "These monsters are like Easter eggs, without any clue about what one would get. You can hit the jackpot like you did, or you might…"

"A snake jumped from this egg! What the hell?!" shouted Sarohan from a distance as he came running with a giant snake slithering behind him, wanting a bite from this juicy waiga.

"…or you might hatch a monster from the egg," laughed Mister White as he looked at the Waiga jumping left and right to avoid being bitten. With one swift move, he threw his sword on the ground and it turned into a snake.

The metallic snake slithered before meeting the reptile, clashing with it head on. As the snake released its venomous gas, the crowd ran away and allowed the metallic sword to take care of it.

After a couple of exchanges, the sword sent a deadly strike that tore through the snake\'s head, killing it on the spot. The snake fell dead before dropping a core as well.

"Your dungeon is a treasure trove, Mister," said Koby as he saw the core on the ground. "In my world, monsters rarely drop anything. The best you can get is their meat."

"I am blessed," said Mister White as he adjusted his suit and wiped away any lingering lint. "Follow me, dear Arthur Netherborne. Let me show you the memory of ancient love, and heartbreaking separation."

Arthur was intrigued as he saw Mister White make his way through the ruins. The rest kept fighting the eggs, some getting lucky while others almost losing their lives. In this dungeon, luck was everything.
