Chapter 10 Midnight Dungeon Raiding

After eating, Reno washed the dishes. Even though Zero told Reno to just use [Water Magic] to clean the dishes, Reno disagreed and told Zero that she prefer cleaning it without the help of magic.

It's still 9:00 PM so he told Aviz and Reno to do what they want because at midnight they will start the dungeon raiding. Zero then decided to use his computer to kill some time and to learn what's happening in his country today. Most of the news that he found is all about the Fiery Phoenix Guild clearing the S-Rank Dungeon in just 4 hours. He continued surfing for a few hours and when he checked the time it's already midnight. Zero turned off his computer and left his room. When he comes out, Aviz and Reno are waiting for him.

Zero said, "then shall we?" Aviz and Reno nodded. Zero chose to raid the dungeon at midnight because, at that time, most of the people are now sleeping.

They headed into a forest. They just fly for five minutes and they already reached the forest. But for a car, it needed at least an hour to reach the destination. The forest is called the "Death Forest" because many unknown monsters are lurking inside this forest. No one dared to live near the forest and the Hunters Management decided to send S-Rank Hunters to guard the forest to monitor if there is abnormalities or if someone tried to enter the forest. The strongest guilds in Korea gathered a month ago to prepare to raid the "Death Forest."

Before entering, Zero used [Conceal] to himself and Reno and Aviz so they won't get noticed by the guarding hunters nearby and the monsters.

In the forest, many monsters are lurking and the three just ignore it. Most of the monsters are S-Rank. There are some SS-Rank monsters like the Chimera and a very big bird that looks like an eagle but with only one eye. Most of the S-Rank monsters are Bears and tigers that grew abnormally big because of the mana they hold. Zero, Reno, and Aviz continued finding a dungeon. They want to attack the monsters in the forest but Zero decided not to because it will make too much noise and the Hunters Management will be alarmed. After five minutes they finally found a dungeon. The rank of the dungeon is about SS-Rank and they decided to enter without hesitation.

Inside the dungeon what they saw is a land without any life. The sky is color red. They can't feel any vitality within the land. Aviz said, "Sheesh, there's no life here." While Reno is just looking at her surroundings with pity. Zero can't find any presence so he said

"Let's go find out who did this." The two nodded.

After flying for five minutes, they finally felt a presence. And they decided to find the source of it. What they saw is a big castle. The castle somehow resembles the castle in the abyss but is smaller.

"There are a few of them inside," Aviz mumbled.

They decided to enter the castle. When they entered, they saw vampires looking at them while licking their lips. One of the vampires spoke, "Oh, it's been a very long time since we have visitors." A womanly voice resounded through the castle. In the castle, there is a throne and someone is sitting on it. The woman on the throne spoke while licking her lips

"I leave to you guys the two, the man in the middle is mine." After she said that, at least a hundred vampires started attacking them.

Zero let Aviz and Reno handle them. Reno started using [Wind Blast] to kill the vampires.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Wind Blast] is a 13th tier magic. While Aviz used a [Blue Flame] to burn the vampires.

Whoosh! They are all burned to nothingness.

The [Blue Flame] is stronger than [Hell Flame]. And the strongest flame among the flames is the [Black Flame]. [Black Flame] is a 20th tier fire magic. While [Blue Flame] is a 14th tier fire magic.

After Reno and Aviz used their magic, the number of vampires immediately lowered and the number left is only 10. The woman on the throne is speechless. Zero, Aviz, and Reno looked at the remaining woman vampire on the throne. When Reno and Aviz are about to attack the last vampire, Zero signaled them to stop.

"To think that all the lesser vampires will die in such a short time and the remaining greater vampires are in critical state.." The woman on the throne mumbled. Lesser vampires are S-Ranked monsters, Greater Vampires are at the peak of S-Rank. While the woman on the throne, a Vampire Lord, is considered SS-Rank.

After Zero stopped them, Zero summoned thousands of swords that are made of [Dark Magic]. He attacked the vampire and the vampire used [Blood Shield] to protect herself. Unfortunately, the swords easily break down her defense then she immediately died on the spot without any resistance. Zero sighed and said, "I'm doing my best to restrain myself you know?"

When Aviz heard that he muttered 'Where is the restrain in that attack, Master? It's completely overkill you know? That attack can also kill her next reincarnation!'

Reno saw many stones scattered that's about a size of a fist. She picked up one and asked Zero "Master, what's this? I can feel a bit of power inside it."

Zero answered "Ohh, that's a mana core. Monsters will drop it when they die. We can sell it for a good price considering its rank. A single mana core of an S-Rank monster can cost 10 billion Won."

Zero already knows the existence of mana core when he's still in Jude's apartment and also learned the price of it. But it can't change his mind to become a hunter. A single F-Rank magic core costs 1 million won, E-Rank for 5 million won, D-Rank 10 million won, C-Rank 50 million won, B-Rank 100 million won, A- Rank 500 million won, S- Rank 10 billion won, SS- Rank 500 billion won, and SSS-Rank core 100 trillion won but most of the hunters that can obtain an SSS-Rank magic core decided to exchange it to valuable equipment that can greatly help them.

Zero then picked up all the magic cores that scattered everywhere using [Psychokinesis Skill]. He got this skill in the abyss. This skill can move objects without touching the object itself. You only need to use your mind and mana. But this skill is very hard to use because you need very precise control and when you made a single mistake, it can cause very serious damage to your brain and your mana pool. So only a few people managed to use this skill.

Zero then put all the magic core inside his [Pocket Dimension]. After collecting all the mana cores, they exit the dungeon.
