CHAPTER 26: CURSED DUNGEON WHERE ARE THE MONSTERS?

Cursed dungeon where are the monsters?

"The phone was turned off around 8 am, I managed to access the images from a security camera nearby, look, is that it?"

A video was displayed on a screen, in which Lucia could be seen walking right in front of the convenience store. After the video advanced a little, a car covered the camera angle and when the car left, Lucia had disappeared.

"Damn, she was kidnapped, why would anyone do that?" Alex clenched his fists and cursed.

"Can you see the license plate?"

The quality of the images improved, but it was still not possible to see the license plate of the car, but this time it was possible to see that there were two men, but unfortunately it was not possible to see the faces of the criminals to pass them to the facial recognition program.

"Focus a little more on that store, I think I see a camera there"

Felix did as Alex suggested and a Camera could be seen

"Can you turn on the images from that Cameira?"

Felix shook his head.

"There is a dungeon portal at that location, I won’t be able to access the Camera remotely from here, I need you to go there"

"Okay, I’ll go," Alex said, getting up from the chair he had been sitting in the entire time.

"Your majesty, take my car, it’s not a royal carriage, but it will serve the purpose," Felix said with a playful smile, trying to cheer Alex up a bit.

***

Alex got out of a sports car that stopped right in front of a crowd waiting for the brave hunters to emerge from the dungeon like noble heroes.

Seeing the commotion and agitation of the people, Alex was stunned, a portal was a dangerous place what would all these people do if the monsters somehow escaped from the dungeons, if Alex was a primitive being, not a hunter, he would stay far away from a portal.

"Young man, this is a restricted area, you cannot advance beyond this point."

A police officer controlling the disturbance stopped Alex from continuing down the path he was taking.

"I’m from the hunters’ association." Alex took out his card and showed it to the police officer responsible for maintaining security at the site.

"Could you please come through here?" the police officer co-directed Alex to the other agent from the hunters’ association.

Alex exchanged pleasantries with the other agent and explained the reason he was here, then he contacted Félix through the intercom.

"Felix, what do I do now? Part of the store has been swallowed by the portal."

"The radiation from the portal is creating interference on the network, your majesty must come a little closer so that I can connect to the network through the device I gave you, this will create an open channel on my internal network."

"Okay, I’ll go in through the back"

Alex broke open a window and entered the store, picking up the device that lit up with a green light.

"Very well your majesty , I got the signal, wait a few seconds so I can download the security video"

After a minute, Alex spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I already have the complete material, you can now return..."

Most likely, Felix furrowed his small brow before asking in dismay

"Your Majesty, where are you? Why have you disappeared from my map? And why is the signal weak?"

Alex cursed silently before answering over the intercom.

"I think I’m in the dungeon"

Felix laughed a lot before speaking sarcastically.

"Your Majesty, you must have a soft spot for dungeons. You haven’t even completed a month since your awakening and you’ve already raided your third dungeon."

"Felix, what do I do to get back? I don’t see any portal through which I can exit."

Alex sighed in annoyance, he still had to find his kidnapped sister, and there he was in a dungeon.

"Your Majesty, you don’t have any return stones with you, do you?"

"Felix, you’ve got to be kidding, right? How would a newbie have such a valuable item?"

"Then your majesty will have to complete the dungeon to return, this dungeon is dangerous, your majesty better join the members of the blue spirit guild, if you are alone, your majesty may end up dead"

Before Felix could say anything else, the call was cut off, Alex pointed the camera attached to his tie and chose a random direction.

***

In front of Tiffany, a huge arch in the shape of a portal opened. From inside, she felt a cold breath filled with the scent of wild nature, accompanied by a metallic hint; she could have sworn it was blood.

She clutched the bow to her chest, the sword at her waist, feeling the atmosphere becoming heavy, the surrounding forest making her afraid for some reason she didn’t know,

Rouke crossed the first portal, he was very big, he was like a walking block of metal, he was the captain, the leader delegated by his sister, his voice was imposing, quite deep for her taste.

"Everyone pay close attention and remember your training well, any failure here will cost the lives of your companions, and most importantly, keep silent" having said that the 50 hunters silenced their voices

Behind Rouke was Liam, four magical orbs floated around his body emitting a blue glow, the sound emitted by the skill made Tiffany’s hair stand on end.

Then Bren entered , looking quite vigilant, his eyes scanning the forest, attentive to every branch.

"This forest seems too calm for my taste, what could be hiding behind these trees?" He murmured, almost no one heard him say those words.

Sarah, the healer who was closest, replied as she walked slowly, "Concentrate, Bren , don’t forget that you are here to teach the children."

Lastly, to close the formation of leaders was Daniel, apparently, he had a light body and used a short spear, he had a smile that Tiffany didn’t like.

"If the forest is dangerous then it’s better for me, it means we can find a lot of resources, right?"

Tiffany stood far back, surrounded by hunters who treated her like their young lady, it was annoying, but she had to bear it,

She’d been in a bad mood about everything lately because the other day, she saw Alex again when she went to the hunters’ guild with her sister. She was terrified of that man.

The forest around them seemed completely dead with no sign of life, Tiffany felt as if the forest could watch them and a monster would jump out at any moment.

The expedition advanced a few minutes, but they found nothing, at this point, they would have already come across some monsters, wolves, snakes and much more, but the forest seemed silent.

Tiffany noticed something strange, she looked at a branch of a tree and saw something strange, there were birds as hard as stones, even when dead they didn’t fall, it was as if they were part of the tree
