Adriel looked with a complicated expression at the desperate people who were begging for mercy as they were forced to confess all the atrocities they did.
He recognized many, many of these people accused him or beat him when he was young.
He had dreamed for years about how he would kill them, how he would brutally torture them and make them experience a world of pain.
He imagined their faces filled with despair at night, he thought how good it would feel to do to them what they did to him.
But now that he was in front of them, seeing them pleading and begging for mercy, Adriel felt empty.
He did not feel the slightest satisfaction, not even a slight feeling, Adriel understood that he did not care, what he believed would be extremely hard and unbearable was not at all as he expected.
The woman soon finished questioning all the survivors, looked at Adriel and nodded, feeling incredulous, she herself had been starving and on the verge of death for weeks, but still couldn't understand how people can do that to members of his own race.
Adriel simply nodded, looked at the men who were still stunned from speaking involuntarily, his face had no expression when he declared, "According to our rules, you are sentenced to death by beheading, the sentence will be carried out immediately"
Having said that, he turned around without looking back.
He heard the screams of the damned as they were killed, but he didn't look back.
Adriel does not consider himself a good person, he will kill everything that stands in his way no matter what it is, but these men have crossed the limit, death is what they deserve.
Once outside, Adriel took a deep breath, he felt that he had lifted a great load from him, his mind was calmer than before, and he felt much more relaxed.
...
Adriel looked at Levon City from the top of a skyscraper more than twenty stories high.
This place was once a 5-star luxury hotel, a luxury place where businessmen and celebrities came on vacation to relax, after the apocalypse, the security guards managed to eliminate the zombies with some casualties and close the hotel, everything seemed to be going well, but they did not realize what was under them.
A dungeon.
Dungeons are wonderful resources if used well, so far Arcadia has only found and cleared four dungeons, all small with only two floors and weak monsters, but these four small dungeons provide enough meat to feed thousands of people, plus many more useful materials.
But if neglected, dungeons are more disastrous than a devastating tsunami.
The people who were hiding here were unaware of the existence of the underground dungeon, they continued to desperately survive as they could, unaware of the danger that grew below them.
Today, the dungeon erupted, thousands of monsters came out of the dungeon and killed everyone in the hotel, the unintelligent monsters then proceeded to scatter in all directions, fighting to the death with all the outside creatures they encountered, including the zombies.
A soldier discovered the disturbance, then the army and Adriel arrived and eliminated all the surrounding monsters, but there are still quite a few who had already strayed too far to track them, so they went free.
Adriel guessed that if they lived long enough, unintelligent dungeon monsters would breed uncontrollably, maintaining their numbers despite the constant deaths they suffer.
What Adriel did not know is that thousands or even tens of thousands of undiscovered dungeons have exploded this day, millions of monsters of all shapes and sizes have emerged from the dungeons and caused massive deaths, for those monsters, all the inhabitants of the world outside are enemies, be they animals, undead or humans, they are all prey to hunt.
Adriel slowly came down from the top of the hotel and went to the basement where the entrance to the dungeon is located, as he descended, he could see the monsters that this dungeon generated, as well as the number of floors.
There were 4 types of monsters, goblins, kobols, orcs and ogres, taking this into account, the dungeon has a minimum of four floors without counting the boss room, since each type of monster occupies at least one floor.
When he got to the underground plant, he finally saw it.
A door 10 meters high and 4 meters wide, its smooth black doors were open, and a purple vortex was occupying the entrance of the door.
The dungeons are located in independent spaces, when you enter a dungeon, you are transported to that independent space.
Dozens of soldiers were carrying the bodies of the various recently slain monsters, whatever weapons or equipment they were carrying would be snatched up and set aside for later transport.
In this dungeon, only the bodies of the orcs are edible, but as compensation, the monsters here carry weapons and armor, sometimes carrying potions or other items, which makes this dungeon very valuable.
Adriel smiled slightly with a bit of expectation, without a second of delay, went through the portal and officially entered the dungeon.
