[Dungeon] Chapter 44 – Profit!
🕑 Added 2025-04-08 08:57:35 +0000 UTCGuy, who was still engaging Dullahan, heard the revelation and his eyebrow furrowed.
"Damn. No wonder he is so hard to kill!"
"Kakashi-sensei! There is a strange energy flowing from those doors." Neji said, "There must be something there."
Nodding at the revelation, Kakashi gave out command.
"Everyone, enter each door and deal with anything inside."
"Yes!"
Four shinobis, including Naruto, ran immediately to each door.
Following that, Rias also issued a command.
"Yuuto, Issei, Koneko, deal with the remaining door. There are only three of them left." Her expression hardened. "Akeno, let's support this green guy in defeating Dullahan. We can't allow it to recover!"
"Yes, President!"
The three of them immediately ran to the remaining door.
At the same time, Akeno prepared her lightning magic to deal with Dullahan. Rias also activated her power, imbuing the element of destruction on her right hand.
Meanwhile, Kakashi looked at them with his sharingan, trying to copy their moves. Guy, who had fought against Dullahan earlier, began to get exhausted.
Guy’s green aura was starting to fade as his stamina and chakra dwindled down. And the toll from opening the sixth gate was taking effect, making him barely able to stand.
"A little bit longer... Hold on..."
But, at that moment, Dullahan struck him.
Crack!
An unpleasant sound rang out. Dullahan's sword slammed against Guy's arms, and he was thrown backwards.
"Argh!"
"Guy!" Kakashi shouted. He moved quickly toward Dullahan to stop his movement, blue electricity surged through his hand, "Chidori!"
A piercing lightning followed by an ear-shattering cry echoed throughout the hall. A bluish white light illuminated the area and sparks danced across the ground. Kakashi was driven forward, pushing Dullahan backwards.
As a result, it paralyzed the monster. He noticed that the girls had finished the preparation and jumped away.
"Oh?" Rias was impressed when she saw Kakashi's technique.
Her lips curled upward and she smirked. "Well done! We can attack now."
Raising her right hand, she closed the palm and concentrated. While she couldn't make her power of destruction stronger now, she already felt what she was capable of when she lost control back then.
Remembering the feeling, she compressed her power of destruction into a ball, denser than ever before.
'Together with Akeno’s magic, we should be able to kill it.' She thought.
At the same time, Akeno breathed deeply. Yellow lightning sparkles appeared around her, forming an intricate web of arcs.
"Now!" Akeno shouted.
Both she and Rias aimed their powers at the struggling Dullahan. At first, Akeno's lightning bolt shot first, and a split-second later, Rias threw a dark red ball at him.
A dark streak shot across the ceiling, colliding with a massive thunderbolt.
Bang! Bang!
The powerful collision sent shockwaves across the space and rocked the very foundation beneath them, causing the ground to tremble with each impact. As the two elements collided and expanded, the world around them shook.
Destruction power and lightning clashed in a violent explosion that shook the entire structure, sending waves of energy radiating outward.
The intense heat and electrical currents produced by these two forces combined, creating a destructive vortex of chaos that swept through everything in its path.
In the center of that was Dullahan, with Kakashi right beside him. Dullahan suffered immensely, losing parts of his armor and burning black. Its lifeless body spasmed as he took in the pain, and his hands grasped weakly at nothing in the air.
On the other hand, Kakashi's face was pale from using too much chakra. He breathed heavily as he watched the scene.
"Did we do it?" He muttered, only to get a shout from Rias.
"Hey, you can't say that! You will raise the flag!"
"Eh?"
Kakashi blinked in confusion.
A flag?
"What are you talking about?" He asked, looking puzzled.
The girl from the otherworld was confusing. Even Guy didn't understand it and tilted his head in confusion. He already deactivated the Eight Gates technique and stood next to Kakashi.
However, even when they waited, nothing happened. Only the people entering the corridor behind the door returned while being slightly injured.
Noticing the strange atmosphere, Naruto asked.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing that she was wrong, Rias' face blushed in embarrassment.
Then, as if laughing at her plight, a fanfare played from somewhere and they all heard a voice from above.
[Congratulations for clearing floor 2-1! Will you continue to floor 2-2? Yes/no]
[Note: You will start from the random respawn point in case you enter again after returning. Please choose your choice carefully!]
Everyone looked at the notification and their jaws dropped.
All they had done so far was just one part of the floor?! Their faces showed their exhaustion.
While some, like Issei, Koneko, Neji, and Tenten who didn't fight as hard as the others, looked fine, they clearly couldn't continue without the rest of the group.
"What the hell!" Issei screamed. "It isn't over yet?"
"So that's why the dungeon dropped HP and Stamina potion?" Rias murmured with her hand on her chin, "No way, does that mean all dungeons are going to be this hard?"
The ninja started their discussion secretly away from the devils.
"Kakashi, I think we can't continue." Guy shook his head.
Looking at everyone's condition, Kakashi also agreed.
"Yeah, let's leave. We already investigated enough today."
They looked at each other and decided.
"No." Kakashi spoke, prompting the announcement to respond.
Once they rejected, everyone else followed suit. Soon, their bodies were covered in light and disappeared from the large room, leaving the devils alone.
Seeing that, Rias blinked a few times.
"Huh? They already left?" Then, her gaze looked at the floor. A few shiny coins lay on the floor. "Without even looting the monster drop?"
"It seems so." Akeno put her hand on her cheek.
Realization dawned on Issei, and he smirked evilly.
"It means we will get all the loot! Let's check what the Dullahan dropped too!"
"Profit." Koneko nodded with a small smile on her face. She seemed to be corrupted slightly by capitalism.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the three ORC members went to investigate the loot dropped.
They approached Dullahan's body and noticed something glimmering from under its remains. When they uncovered it, they saw two flasks filled with blue liquid and one with red liquid.
"2 MP potion and 1 HP potion. We struck gold!" Rias exclaimed happily. Her eyes shined with anticipation at their find and she couldn't help but smile brightly.
After collecting all Dungeon Coins, totaling 36 including the ones they got before, Rias and her peerage clicked no and left the dungeon.

There will be something like that in the near future. He hasn't unlocked the authority yet

He needs to upgraded the dungeons allowing for multiple instances to happen at the same time, for example, make it so each world has at least one instance of each dungeon
