Chapter 245: Trials

    The next moment, the team appeared in a nearly identical cavern. The only differences were the exit on an opposite side, and the dungeon orb no longer being there. As everyone was getting themselves oriented, Derek pulled up his stats.

    The next most common type of dungeon takes you from zone to zone, where you fight against a single type of monster in each until going to the final zone and taking on a final boss, Edgar said, basically explaining the Golem Dungeon. From there, we also have beast wave dungeons where wave after wave of enemies charge at you, each wave strong than the one before. All you have to do is fight until no enemy remains.

    After that, there are defense type dungeons. Those dungeons are usually similar to beast wave dungeons, except you are given the task of protecting something from the beast wave for a certain amount of time instead of exhausting the waves. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can do both. Finally, we have puzzle dungeons, my least favorite. There is usually no fighting, just problem solving.

    Derek nodded along with Edgars explanation. He hadnt run into any of the other dungeon types, but they seemed easy enough to understand.

    Which leaves us with trial dungeons, Edgar said. Trial dungeons can be considered a mixture of all other types. The orbs before us will each have a different trial we must undertake. Usually, a trial dungeon has two or three orbs, maximum, and the timer is only a week or so. The trials are relatively easy, and each trial rewards those who complete it.

    So, each one of those orbs will have a reward? Felix asked for clarification.

    Precisely, Edgar confirmed. Though, I have never seen a raid dungeon be a trial dungeon.

    What happens if we dont complete it in time? Another voice rang out, and Derek listened closely with interest.

    Thats the bad news. Unless you have an escape scroll, you are basically toast, explained Edgar. The dungeon collapses with you inside, and there really isnt anything you can do about it. And as you all know, escape scrolls are not easy to come by. I have only brought a few with me to use in case of emergencies.

    Ah, its not as bad as that. Just think about the rewards were going to get. Tyrons gruff voice broke through the slight murmurings of the crowd.

    The problem Edgar said as he looked at the smith. Is that we are going to have to rely more on each other than we originally planned. I assembled a team that was perfect for the more common type of dungeons he then walked over to the first orb and placed his hand on it, after nodding, he moved on to the second, then the third, until he finally viewed all the trials.

    Each trial is different. Edgar spoke again. We can only move on to the next one after the previous one is completed. And we must choose our members wisely, as not all trials allow for all 25 of us. Which means we need to have a certain amount of faith in each other.

    Interested in what Edgar was saying, Derek stepped forward and placed his hand on the first orb.

    So, only ten people would be allowed to take the first trial, but the difficulty was only uncommon, which Derek figured meant could easily be taken care of by those with a decent amount of stats. Overall, it shouldnt be too hard. He then moved on to the next trial orb.

    He moved on to each of the remaining trial orbs, just like Edgar had done, and they all displayed the same. They were all locked. It was unfortunate, because it meant that they couldnt do multiple trials at once.

    I guess this means that those who arent chosen for the trial are going to have to wait out here with nothing to do? Derek asked.

    It seems that way, Edgar answered.

    Everyone else soon took their own turns looking over the different trial orbs. Finally, when everyone was finished, Edgar spoke once again.

    Who wants to do a dungeon wave? We have ten spots. I think that, since it is of lower difficulty, we should choose some of our lower levels to go, along with one or two of our level 250s. Edgar explained.

    Derek agreed, but some of the others did not. Not being selected for the trial meant missing out on both materials and the reward at the end. However, he didnt mind that, as the less difficult trials would surely have the worst rewards.

    A few of the more well-known raid members, like Cain Ibarra, the Guild Master at the Adventurers Guild in the capital, and Tristan Allister both stepped forward to agree with Edgar, quieting most of the dissent. Avery and Vanessa stayed quiet, as they seemed to be both just along for the ride.

    Derek still noticed a small amount of disagreement in the crowd, and some looked at him and Tyron as well. After thinking about it, Tyron was well known for his strength in the kingdom, and Dereks status had displayed the same as his, showing that they both had some unknown way of hiding their level.

    Finally, he decided to see if he couldnt help Edgar out a little, as well. And maybe help Walter a bit in the process.
