_________________*************
In front of the dungeon, in an open ground, there is a group of people. They are from the Awakener Guilds, preparing for a dungeon dive. There are 40 people who are currently preparing their strategy to tackle the unknown variables.
According to the professor's report before he disappeared, there are low-level monsters in the dungeon like goblins, and the highest-level monster present there is orcs. There are also some undead skeletons present.
The criteria to enter the dungeon are still unknown. It is said that the last trial done by Professor Lusier is a blood ritual, but the information is incomplete. In the center of the 40 awakeners, there is a man currently telling the team their strategy and preparing their stuff. The man is around 6 feet tall with an army cut, his shoulders are broad, and his face is as hard as a rock with sharp eyebrows and a hunter's look. Overall, he looks bulky and like a tanker. One man approaches him and says, "Sir Harnik, it seems the researchers have finished their preparations, and we can dive whenever we are ready."
"Oh, so let's just dive then. I don't want to stay here," says Harnik.
"As you wish, sir," says the man.
Inside the dungeon:
"Hey Harnik, what do you think of this dungeon?" says a man who is quite short, around 5.6 feet tall. His name is James.
"Nothing much. The monsters are of D-rank dungeon and the mystical energy is at top C-class dungeon," says Harnik.
James is also an S-rank awakener. Even though they are ranked below SS and SSS rank, they possess formidable power in the country. No country dares to lose the powerful S-ranks. Harnik is a top S-rank, and James is a middle S-rank. There is another middle S-rank in the group, and his name is Charles. He cannot speak, which is weird because anything can be healed in this era, and he claims he hasn't been able to speak since childhood. Since that is not considered damage, healing doesn't work on him. Basically, he is an outcast, and even though some pester him, he isn't interested in forming his zone, so they soon lose interest in him too.
______________
The group has been walking for an hour, making sure the path is clear for the research team too. After another half an hour, they reach their destination, the door where Professor Luise's team had disappeared.
Soon the research team starts taking measurements and data to compare with the old one.
After 15 minutes, they start making circles and inscribing words over them, forming the ritual circle.
After all the research group and low-level awakeners have disappeared after the blood ritual, they, too, are starting from that phase.
Soon the circle is completed. Harnik has collected his team and divided them into three groups, each containing an S-rank awakener.
The first team is the tanker and vanguards, led by Harnik.
The second team is the magician and buffer team, led by Charles.
The third team is the aerial team, composed of healers and archers.
After taking everything into consideration, Harnik looks at the research team and says, "You may begin your work, and after being teleported, remain within the formation."
"Okay, sir, we will do," says a researcher.
Soon the same process as before begins, with three bodies in the center having their blood sucked, and their bodies turning to ashes. Soon, light starts to illuminate within the circle and the door. The light makes everyone close their eyes, even the S-rank powerhouses, which is a rare case.
________****
Soon, Harnik opens his eyes and finds himself in a dark place. He spreads his senses and observes that everyone is within the range of 100 meters, composing themselves.
Soon, he notices something ahead of him: a ball of light illuminating and dimming at the same time, if he had to say.
Soon, the crystals on the ceiling start to illuminate the whole room. The room is huge, around 4 square kilometers. It is normal for this type of expansion, and it is a miracle of space magic.
The room has altars surrounding a wisp-like object.
Behind the dungeon, there is a huge statue around 400 meters tall, and in the center of this statue, there is the dungeon core. The core is the size of a human head and red in color. Other than that, there seems to be nothing new, but every awakener knows how valuable they are.
They grant you skills and epic-type attributes. They are mainly reserved by elite families or huge organizations and governments.
So keeping them is like keeping a national class treasure, especially one the size of a head.
While everyone is in a daze, there is someone in the group who is observing the whole dungeon in the research team. The person is short with silky black hair and some mature charm in the face. The person is none other than Yukesh's mother.
She had volunteered to join this team to find her husband, after all. She can't give up when there is a possibility.
After leaving her home, she went directly to the High Council, which is composed of the main powerhouses in the world. They are made up of 13 members. Not all members have an interest in the High Council, but they had to join to check each other's power.
Since Luise was one of the few researchers who were neutral in political power, he was allowed to use different sources of all powerhouses.
When Jessica, Yukesh's mother, entered the High Council, she found three of the 13 members there discussing the dungeon affair. Jessica is quite popular as the wife of a famous researcher and excels in her work. She is also straightforward and demands answers from everyone, even if he/she is of high standing.
"Kennith, don't you have something to tell me?" she asks with some anger in her voice.
"Jessica, let's first calm down. The investigation is currently being conducted. We formed a team to investigate," says Kennith.
"I will join them," says Jessica in a commanding voice.
"Jessica, think calmly and make your decision, taking your children into consideration," says Kennith.
Kennith is a high ranker with peak power of SS rank and a good friend of Luise. Even though compared to SSS rank awakeners he lags behind, his main power is his resources and his family.
"I know what I am doing, and I am not asking you. I am firm when I say I will go there, even if you do not support me," Jessica speaks in a commanding and authoritative voice.
"Okay, I will put you in the research team and add one S-rank awakener for your watch then," says Kennith in a calm yet authoritative voice. His voice is firm, and there is no taking back type tone.
Jessica accepts his offer.
"You should at least tell your son about the matter," says Kennith.
"I can't. If I face him, I will not be able to take one step ahead," says Jessica.
"Sigh... Ok. The team will be ready in two days," says Kennith.
"Okay, and also I have a favor to ask..."
