Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

Outside the church at the Resurrection Point in Leman City.

Although the sky was clear and blue, dark clouds lingered over the heads of the Ember Squad.

Elisa sat on the steps, reminiscing about the B-grade Intelligence-boosting [Meteor Staff (Imitation)].

Joel fared slightly better. He never expected to be able to clear the game while encountering a dragon. Moreover, his desperate attack did indeed cause considerable damage to the Gluttonous Dragon, which was enough to make him look good. He might even be able to contribute a large number of points and take another step towards becoming a Silver-level adventurer.

As for River, her expression was colder than ever.

Rivers knew very well that the reason she couldn't unleash her killing move before was undoubtedly because of the Lich Lord of the [Taifa Dungeon], and she could also roughly guess that the other party used the 5th-level spell [Command].

The effect of this spell is to force a creature to carry out its commands. Only beings of equal strength can be exempted from it, but they will still be affected and fall into a brief state of paralysis.

Rivers wasn't sure if she could kill the Gluttonous Dragon after unleashing her ultimate move, but judging from the terrifying lightning spear condensed by the last Sun Knight, it might not be hopeless.

After repeatedly failing in simple level 1 and 2 dungeons, Rivers felt a growing sense of displeasure.

If the lich didn't have to have its life casket destroyed to die, Rivera might have sneaked in alone and assassinated it, just like before.

She was unaware that Horak, like herself, was a titled powerhouse.

Moreover, there are differences in strength even among those with titles of power. Without a doubt, Horak, who has lived for a thousand years, will only be stronger.

If they were to face off head-on, the odds of victory for either side would be roughly 20/80.

Horak cast a 7th-level spell, "Finger of Death," and two minutes later transformed River into one of his eight undead warriors.

In short, the three of them have different feelings now, but all of them are somewhat unwilling.

The powerful warrior who suddenly appeared and called himself the Sun Knight was their best help. If their side could perform better, they might actually be able to slay the dragon.

"Elisa! River! Mr. Joel!"

Not far away, Grace's slightly anxious shouts could be heard.

The priestess, panting, stopped in front of the three of them: "Are you...are you alright?"

"Don't worry, everything's fine."

With a sigh, Elisa patted her bottom and stood up: "The most urgent thing now is to report the information about the upheaval in the [Taifa Dungeon] to the association. That merchant named Patch said that we were the first Undead he encountered in Blighttown, which means that the adventurers who went in before us have not yet explored the bottom of Blighttown."

The group was about to return to their old ways: selling intelligence.

Joel nodded, already anticipating what was to come: "Yes, the appearance of a dragon in a level 2 dungeon will definitely cause quite a stir. It seems quite a few people will be going to challenge the [Taifa Dungeon]."

Without lingering, the group immediately headed towards the Adventurers' Guild.

On the way, Elisa asked Grace, "By the way, you left using the [Return Bone Shard]. Did you bring any items or supplies with you?"

"Mmm-hmm." Grace the chick nodded and took out a few [Green Flower Grass] and a few [Warm Stones] from her pocket.

Because the battle situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, these props "sponsored" by Patch were not even used in time.

"Oh, and this too."

Grace opened the backpack she had bought from other adventurers outside the [Taifa Dungeon] and took out two [Red Lion Fire Bottles].

"Hey, be careful, don't let it explode."

Elisa quickly said that she had seen the power of this thing before; it was enough to make the Gluttonous Demon Dragon roar. If it were to explode in the city, it would definitely attract the guards.

"Oh……"

Grace obediently stuffed the flask back into her backpack.

Elisa keenly noticed Grace's low spirits: "What's wrong? Failure in dungeon exploration is normal, don't worry about it too much."

Although Elisa herself was somewhat unwilling.

If she can defeat the Gluttonous Dragon, then the [Meteor Staff (Imitation)] might really become hers!

Once you've used a high-level staff, it will be difficult to adapt to using a low-level one; perhaps this is what they mean by "it's hard to go from luxury to frugality."

Grace lowered her head: "Then, will that Mr. Sun Knight be alright?"

"Don't worry, didn't he say he's immortal too? He'll be fine," Elisa reassured Grace.

The latter simply lowered his head and remained silent, wondering what if the other person really lost their humanity because of this death?

Just as Patch said, after repeated deaths, they become inhuman shells.

"However, it's quite strange that humans would appear in the dungeon to help us adventurers. I've never heard of such a thing before."

Joel, stroking his chin in thought, had died before the Sun Knight appeared, but after being resurrected, he learned of this from the others.

"However, information that no one has ever heard of is more valuable."

Although the entire team perished in this dungeon exploration, it wasn't too bad.

First, the priestess Grace learned the miracle "Tears of Farewell".

If it weren't for the "Farewell Tears," Joel would have died instantly when he was hit by the Gluttonous Dragon's tail whip, and there wouldn't have been the incident where he jumped down and stabbed the Gluttonous Dragon in the eye.

Secondly, Grace also used the [Return Bone Fragment] to bring back a lot of useful items, which are good to resell to other adventurers or use herself.

Finally, there's the reward for selling the information to the Adventurers' Guild, which will undoubtedly be even greater than the reward for the previous [Dorn Dungeon].

This huge sum of money can't be allowed to be claimed by other adventurers first!

Rushing to the Adventurers' Guild, the group discovered that someone had already arrived ahead of them and was reporting on the anomalies in the [Taifa Dungeon].

"Hey! I'm telling the truth! The [Taifa Dungeon] really is haunted! Why won't you women believe me?"

At the counter, a burly dwarf berserker, carrying an axe bigger than himself, was jumping up and down in a panic.

The receptionist remained unmoved, simply wearing a professional smile.

"Mr. Brie Agenielson, the association's policy is that rewards will only be paid after the information has been verified, and this is clearly stated in the Adventurer's Handbook."

Upon hearing this, the dwarven berserker leaped onto a stool, slammed his fist on the reception desk, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean? We dwarves never lie! Are you humans trying to embezzle my money?!"

The dwarf's booming voice had a range that covered the entire hall, drawing curious glances from many onlookers.

Among them were adventurers enjoying the spectacle, as well as municipal guards responsible for maintaining order.

"Adventurer, if you don't have other business or matters to attend to, please don't occupy the counter for too long."

The guardsman, clad in bronze armor, spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

"Thump!!!"

The dwarven berserker slammed the giant axe he was carrying on his shoulder onto the floor, looking as if he was about to jump up and smash the guard's head in at the slightest provocation.
