This is it, Eliar shouted excitedly from his seat. His table was in a mess, covered with several documents.
He took one of the documents with him and went out.
Mira, I will not be around for some time. You will be the one managing the organisation till I return, Eliar said to his pa as he zoomed off in his car.
Soon, he arrived at his destination. The place was a swirling vortex of blue and was heavily guarded by 3 men who released fearsome auras.
Good evening, sir, they greeted Eliar as they allowed him entry into the dungeon. Eliar nodded in acknowledgement as he entered.
Welcome to the Ghoulwatch ruins, a voice said directly into his head. He knew of this voice; it was called the Nexus will. It is believed to be the one who granted the Nexians their cores and created the dungeons.
Eliar took out his deck of cards and checked them properly for the first time. What, I did not even know it was like this, Eliar thought as he looked at the card descriptions. The cards had skills, weapons and summons, all in one. I thought it was a weapon, This core spawn is a really weird one, Eliar thought.
Crackle, Eliar heard noises coming in his direction.
Those should be Feral ghouls, Eliar thought. According to the compendium on this dungeon, the mobs were feral ghouls. They had a skill, revenous pounce. The skill allowed them to attach themselves to their targets, causing continuous damage and speed reduction.
He checked his card deck and took out three cards. [minor agility surge: increases movement speed by 5%], [Lightstep: suppresses sound around feet], [rustblade daggers: increases bleed chance]
He dashed towards the source of the sound and saw 3 ghouls walking towards a certain area. He followed closely behind until he noticed they all separated. He immediately went after the closest and pierced it in the heart, killing it easily.
He did it for the rest also, but was unable to get any Nexus seed. This is to be expected; the chance of a Nexus seed dropping in a shattered realm dungeon was low.
Eliar continued walking in the eerie dungeon and soon reached a large grave. According to the intel, this should be the gathering point of the ghouls, Eliar thought.
Growl, several ghouls howled and rushed towards Eliar.
Fuck, I was too reckless, Eliar thought as he saw the over 20 ghouls heading for him.
[flame jet: launch a weak stream of fire]
The ghouls that got caught in the fire were burned to a crisp, but the fire was not enough to kill them all.
[lesser strength boost: increases physical strength by 5%], [minor agility surge], [stone-hilt sword: increases strength by 10%]
Eliar got into his stance, as he dashed towards the first one and swung his sword. With a clean cut, the ghoul's head fell.
Eliar moved between the ghouls, striking with precision and cutting each one down easily.
After 3 minutes, he finally killed all of them and sat down to rest.
I have used up most of my Nexis in the previous battle, Eliar thought. But it was worth it, Eliar thought as he brought out three seeds from his palm. Three Nexus seeds, cool.
After about 30 minutes, his Nexis was refilled and he headed for the main boss grave.
