Chapter 57: Raiding an E+ Rank Dungeon Part 4
"I never truly expect that such a simple strategy would be regarded as a genius plan for these people," Natas expressed his thoughts to Kayn. Until now, he has been following behind Kayn silently. That\'s because he is very cautious now that he is inside the \'Tower\'. Fortunately, so far, nothing strange has happened to him, nor did he notice any signs that the \'Tower\' has found out about his existence. Because of this, it confirmed his theory that other than Kayn and the people to who he chooses to reveal himself, no one else could see or notice him.
"That\'s only natural since this is a new team that\'s made up of Heroes that probably haven\'t crossed the 50th floor of the \'Tower\' yet," Kayn explained.
"Indeed," Natas agreed.
Unbeknownst to Victor and the rest of the main members of the Black Panda team, the plan that Kayn had given them is actually a very common strategy that Heroes perform once they start exploring the 51st floor and onward in the \'Tower\'.
That\'s because starting from the 51st floor, the opponents that the Heroes would be facing are no longer the races that are incapable of thinking critically and brainless.
On second thought though, even if they happened to know of that strategy being used above the 51st floor, there\'s still a good enough reason that they would take Kayn as a genius. The reason being is that Kayn hasn\'t yet entered the \'Tower\', yet he is actually already able to think of that plan. Just imagine what someone with that level of thinking could achieve once granted access to enter the \'Tower\'.
"Anyways, what do you plan on doing next?" Natas could already guess that Kayn won\'t be helping Diana and the others on preparing for Victor\'s group return along with the boss of this dungeon.
"Probably wait until Victor returns," After all, he can\'t casually leave this place. Otherwise, he\'d be frozen to death if he is exposed to the cold for a long period of time.
"Are you still planning on seeing what exactly is the full extent that your body could perform right now?"
"Of course," Is that even a question? Obviously, he entered this dungeon with only that goal in mind. The events that happened so far are only part of the process for him to achieve that.
"Then how do you plan to do that?"
"Very simple,"
In truth, he could actually leave this place by simply returning back to where he came from — the path he took to reach here from the portal. Over there, the environment is still not cold yet, nor are there any signs of a freezing atmosphere.
However, finding targets he could test would be very difficult since the Black Panda team has more or less killed the majority of the monsters that can be found over that part.
Fortunately, there\'s another solution.
If he remembers correctly, the E+ rank dungeon under the 100th floor of the \'Tower\' is where the Undeads reside.
Undeads are akin to the souls that Rowan Starlight could summon using the Sitan\'s Ring. The only difference is, rather than having a spiritual body, the Undeads have a physical body. Needless to say, they still have a soul inside of them, albeit there\'s merely a tiny speck remaining throughout the years of their existence in such a state. After all, with the physical body not in the control of the spirit, there\'s no way for the spirit to nourish itself. Hence, as time goes on, the spirit starts diminishing. Fortunately, since there was still mana in their surroundings, thus the Undeads were able to retain a bit of their spirit.
An Undead\'s spirit actually has a secret. If one is lucky enough, the spirit of the Undead could sometimes help one find the location of treasures, get clues about the past, and the best of it, receive an inheritance from someone who was a great figure back then when they were still alive.
Although he hasn\'t spotted any Undeads so far along his way to this place. But he\'s certain that the boss of this dungeon is going to be one. And considering that he is a boss, he would no doubt be able to summon Undeads to assist in the fight. Those Undeads are his test subjects.
Natas only needed to think for a bit to understand what Kayn is planning. "The merit of being a reincarnator,"
"I\'ll wait over there so that I won\'t disturb the others," Kayn decided to pick a tent to stay in while waiting. In truth though, he actually wants to eavesdrop on what Frank is planning. So, he picked a tent right beside the tent that the latter and his group has picked.
He was very curious about what Frank intended to achieve from the moment he found out that the latter is very insistent on clearing this dungeon. There should be a good reason why he acts like that to the point that he seems to be desperate.
Upon getting inside the tent, Kayn didn\'t waste any time and went on to the very edge near where Frank and his group\'s tent so that he can start eavesdropping.
"This is bad!"
"We won\'t be able to get that item from the boss\' room if Victor is going to bring the boss here,"
"I think we would still go to the boss room once we finally defeated the boss? After all, oftentimes, there is still valuable loot to be found inside the boss\' room,"
"Idiot! It would be very difficult for us to secretly take that item once there\'s no boss inside. Don\'t forget, we initially thought of using the boss as a distraction to secretly take that item,"
"How about this? Some of us will go to the boss\' room while Victor and his team are preoccupied with defeating the boss. By the time the boss is defeated, we would long be gone with that item in our possession," This time, Kayn could recognize that the voice came from Frank.
"I agree with that!"
"Now that\'s a good idea!"
"We will follow boss Frank,"
Frank\'s chuckle could be heard amidst his group showering him with compliments.
"The question is, who is going to be assigned to secretly take that item,"
"Unfortunately, with my status in the Black Panda team, I can\'t just casually leave," Frank expresses.
Hearing this, Kayn can\'t help rolling his eyes. It is very clear to him that Frank simply doesn\'t want to be given such a troublesome task. Well, it\'s only natural, since there\'s no guarantee whether it would be soft sailing to get to the boss room. After all, other than Victor, Echo, and Alex that went out to look for the boss, no one else knows the exact situation outside the main base of operation.
In other words, they\'d be faced with a lot of risks once they are assigned that job.
Evidently, it wasn\'t only Frank who thought of that as the tent quite down right after he finished talking.
"Birds of the same feathers indeed flock together," Kayn chuckled silently. Even though he is not inside Frank and his group\'s tent, he could still imagine the look on everyone\'s faces right now — hilarious.
This is what happens when one gathers a bunch of greedy individuals together. No one would dare to make the first move for fear of getting taken advantage of by the rest. Moreover, they are also cautious of one another as they don\'t want to become cannon fodder to be used to benefit the rest.
Kayn truly wants to know how Frank plans to handle this kind of stalemate.
"It seems like no one other than me can\'t participate in this very important matter for the wellness of our group. So, since I am the leader in our group, I plan on giving the spot to the person who losses from rock-paper-scissor. Does anyone disagree?"
"No…"
Even if they do, they don\'t have any other choice but to still comply with Frank. Not to mention, they\'ll stand out once they voice out their opinions, and they\'ll automatically be given one of those spots.
"I\'ll be sitting here while all of you decide amongst yourselves who will get one of the lucky spots," Frank started laughing.
In the next moment, everyone quickly picked a partner to play rock-paper-scissor.
"By the way, the game would be best of five. So, whoever scores three points first, wins," Frank added. In his opinion, it\'s going to be a lot more interesting if the game is played in the best of five. Because if they don\'t play seriously, thinking that they can win the game easily, they are in huge trouble as any wrong move could give their opponent more chances to win instead. And the more rounds they play and the longer it takes to decide the winner, the more entertaining it would be.
"I thought that Frank is nothing more than an annoying and entitled asshole. Turns out, he can also be as villainous as actual villains," Kayn muttered. On second thought, who was he to label Frank a Villain anyways, when he, who heard everything just now, decided to simply stand at the side and not care about what\'s happening to those people.
Honestly, ever since he reincarnated back to the past, he no longer puts that much emphasis on the two titles — \'Hero\' and \'Villain\'. For him, it\'s nothing more than a way to trick the masses and paint someone black and the other white.
"The status of who is a Hero and Villain today could be switched in a snap of a finger tomorrow," Meaning, it doesn\'t matter whatever one does in the present as either doing good or bad would not matter in the future.
