Plundering in the Apocalypse

Outside the dungeon, people were getting anxious as they didn't know which party had entered the Labrinth. Or whether someone entered or not. At that moment the lowest engraving at the large door started shining golden.

"What is that?" Someone shouted as he saw the engraving on the door shining golden.

"Why is it shining?" Another man said as he gazed at the door's engraving.

"This never happened before. Did something happen inside?" Someone said increasing the anxiety of others.

A middle-aged man with white hair and Goliath bread was looking at the door with a cold gaze. He was wearing a black suit. Which had two big AA written on the right chest.

He was someone from the Awakened Association.

"Sir, what are your orders?" A young man came up to ask him.

"Just wait and observe. Be on standby and continue listing all the potential powerful awakened." Although he said that casually a slight hint of coldness and an authoritative tone could be felt in his words.

"Things are getting a lot interesting."

Again murmurs started between the awakeneds. They all had confusion written on their faces. No one knew anything about these golden lights.

Although they all were confused someone between them did know about the meaning behind the golden shine.

'Shit' Leonard cursed. He went to take some rest after fighting on the fourth floor as he leveled up a lot. He came back here aiming to reach the 5th floor in a week. But.

'Who the fuck cleared the whole first floor? There are 500+ Kobolds. It must be a large party of 50 people at least. But even then it should have only happened after a month.'

Leonard's face turned very ugly.

'I wanted the first clearing reward from the floors. But who the hell managed to get it from me? Even if they stop now. I can't get the first clear of the first floor.'

'Which shit-heads ruined my plan?'

"Do you know which party entered the labyrinth?" Leonard asked the person nearby who shook his head.

"No, I don't."

Even after asking for several minutes, he didn't get any answers.

'Why the hell no one knows who entered the dungeon?'

'Okay, I need to calm down. Now that I can't get the reward for the first floor I should focus on the next.' He stopped for a second as he glanced at the second engraving.

'There's no way they can clear the next one too, right?'

'Ahh, I'm thinking too much. Just wait till you all come out. I'm gonna kill them all whoever they are.'

"Fuck" Leonard cursed loudly while gritting his teeth.

Others around him treated him like a madman.

***

The second floor of the dungeon. It was the top of a mountain. Where a little far away a large cave could be seen. It was not far from the group of four people who just appeared on the second floor.

"Shin, be careful this time it won't be so easy," Simon warned Shin.

"Yeah, I'll be careful," Shin replied.

"What type of monsters do we have on this floor?" Alice asked.

"Wolves. But far stronger than the normal ones." Shin answered her question.

Elena also wanted to start up a conversation. But because of her personality, she wasn't able to.

'Why can't I find a topic to talk about?' Thought Elena, while blaming herself.

"This time I'm going to fight too." Shin heard Simon's determined voice.

"Me too." Getting the opportunity to talk, Elena also agreed with Simon.

"Fine but don't rush at the monsters. That's dangerous." Shin warned them.

Elena and Simon looked at him with weird gazes.

"Says who?" They shook their head remembering Shin rushing at the heard of Kobolds.

Shin activated his predator's eyes. He turned around to search for the monsters. But surprisingly, this time they didn't have to wait long. There were already surrounded by a lot of monsters.

Seeing the pack of wolves in front of him and their numbers Shin was surprised. "Oh damn, are they here to welcome us or something?"

"Guys we are surrounded," Shin warned. At his words everyone got alert.

"Shit, what bad luck?" Simon cursed under his breath.

"But isn't this better this way? We don't have to search for them." Shin replied to which Simon cried inwardly. 'Bastard, you are the only one who thinks that way.'

"Appraisal"

[Fang Wolves (Level 15-25)]

"Okay guys, take care of one direction each so we don't end up in the crossfire. Elena, use your ice to make the ground slippery for the monsters."

"Simon use your hammer to push the ones who come near us out."

Elena and Simon were surprised to hear Shin's command. They didn't expect Shin would think of such ideas in this situation. But more importantly.

"How do you know about my ability?" Elena asked with a frown. Though she had no problem with Shin knowing about that. She doesn't remember telling him about that.

"Simon bragged about it," Shin replied blaming his appraisal's fault on Simon.

"Did I? I don't remember." Simon was confused. 'Did I forget? Although I did brag in front of Shin. Did I say anything about Elena's power?'

"Yeah you did, but that's not important. Get moving those wolves are coming." Shin said in a sharp voice. Trying to shift their attention to monsters. Which he succeeded smoothly.

"Alice bring out your summons. Defeat the ones who get close. We will attack with firepower." Shin said to Alice.

Alice happily agreed to it. Soon her hair color and eyes changed as the soul grimoire floated above her palms.

"ARISE" As her cold voice sounded. A terrifying amount of chaotic energy swirled around her as her summons started standing up one after another. Freaking the hell out of Simon and the Cold and collected Elena.

"What the heck is that?" They asked as the black figures stood in front of them. Making a protective wall to fend off any monsters close to them.
