Probably due to the influence of his shamanic mother, Rohan's prediction for Ryder was spot-on.
Ray's three-day crash course in mana training was intense enough to send shivers down even the Demon King's spine.
"So, Brother. What are we going to do in this forest?" Izzy asked as Ray, Mike, Rohan, Ryder and she exited the SUV. Exiting the Dungeon in front of them were three familiar faces.
"You guys made it!" Deus called out excitedly, as he slithered up his master's arm.
Yuna and Ryo were also behind him, rubbing their furry cheeks against Mike's legs, who hugged them in excitement, happy to see his Spirits after so long.
"Thanks for the assist, Deus," Ray said, lightly patting his Spirit's head.
On the day they had arrived in Wolfsbane, Ray had tasked Deus with
finding a Dungeon that Izzy and the rest could explore at their low level.
The Sanskriti Archipelago was a mostly untapped collection of Dungeons, especially Loop Dungeons, so it wasn't that difficult finding.
Like Dungeons, Loop Dungeons also cause Dungeon Rampage一spilling its monsters outside一if the Dungeon is left unattended and the mana levels cross a certain point.
However, unlike normal Dungeons, the monsters in Loop Dungeons didn't give out any useful materials when defeated, except for the Boss Monsters.
Since Guilds and the Hero League were, at the end of the day, a business, they didn't like dispatching their precious Heroes to Loop Dungeons. Especially since Loop Dungeons never close, spanning useless monsters endlessly, with the only source of profit coming from killing the Boss Monster—the strongest monster in the Dungeon.
Even mercenaries tend to avoid them, only raiding Loop Dungeons if the nearby islands put in a request with the Pack.
Therefore, Loop Dungeons were sort of a public property for all Heroes and mercenaries, and Ray wouldn't have to worry about unknowingly trespassing into a mercenary group's rented Dungeon.
"I did well, didn't I?" Deus proudly puffed up his scaly chest after Ray's compliment.
Turning to the four participants, Deus announced excitedly. "After an extensive three-day search, I did exclusively for you guys, I proudly welcome you to 'Medea's Garden of Poisonous Plants'!"
Medea's Garden of Poisonous Plants Rank: D
A 'Loop Dungeon' full of the world's most toxic plants, grown by Medea, the enchantress of Colchis, herself.
Many of her special pets are inhabitants of this Garden.
"D-Rank? Are you nuts?" Rohan yelled at the unrealistic expectations of their abilities. "We are barely E-Rank Awakened! No matter how Spartan that training of Ray's was, there's no way we can ever raid a D-Rank Dungeon."
"Relax, kid! I thoroughly looked around the Dungeon earlier, and most of the monsters are at a level you can handle. The reason this Dungeon is D Rank is because of the toxic atmosphere inside, and we've got a way to deal with that." Deus quickly hushed the protests.
"By the way, I see some new faces here. Anything fun happen while I was away?" Deus asked, looking at Ryder, who stood with the group.
"Hey, Deus! Long time," Ryder waved back.
"Run away from home, kid?" Deus asked, even though he was already aware of the circumstances.
"Kinda..." Ryder scratched his head, slightly embarassed.
