Four days had passed since the beginning of the dungeons; in most dungeons things had gone like usual. From time to time a fight broke out, but nothing too serious.
However, in Ray's dungeon things were different. From all the 3000 participants, only 5 people stayed alive.
During Ray's fight with the three Cardinals, Katarina had gone and killed all of Lisa's men. With the rest of their time spent on clearing others, now they were the only remaining ones.
Both of them relaxed their bodies in the hot water; the area was filled with magma and a volcano. As a result, a small hot spring was created in a cave.
"So what is your last step?" Ray asked as his eyes were locked on her nipples.
"Can you deal with the two underground Cardinals?"
Ray stretched his hands as he said, "Yeah, that vampire lost his heart, and that other woman is mostly a long-range fighter. What is your plan for Alice?"
"With her golden rose, it's going to be difficult, but possible. Before that, how about we share our gains?" Katarina lifted herself to sit on the edge, giving him a good view of her body.
Ray watched her core and long hairs with lust; due to her magic, having sex could leave her in a weakened state for some time, but Ray made sure that after their mission, his first action would be to fuck her senseless.
Ray gave her a list: "60 dark crystals, 20 white crystals, a weapon that seems useless, and 3000 heart stones. How about you?" With them being alone, they had taken everything that's possible in the dungeons for themselves.
"40 dark crystals and 30 white crystals; the rest are just weapons."
"Good, each of us takes 75, enough for two magic crystals." Ray said with a smile on his lips that he needed a big supply of blood crystals; after level 4, each one could be exchanged for 10000 exp. And there was Orcus too.
Katarina spread her legs as she talked: "Will you help me craft my magic crystals?"
To craft mind crystals, the usual formula didn't work; even the most talented crafters in the world could fail to craft one in their lifetime, but Ray had his experience backing him up.
"I will take five dark crystals for each one."
"Deal." She giggled, "I have 1000 dark and white crystals for now; with two months left until the impact, I need some more to reach level 5."
Ray had a vague idea about how she had that many crystals: scams. But with the help of the Atlantic monolith, it was possible to craft mind crystals nonstop.
"When do you want to start?" Ray asked with his usual tone; the dungeons lasted for two weeks, but if only one team remained, it would end on its own, meaning they could get back on earth sooner; that could help his plan with Jade too.
"Let me take a nap; after that we begin." Katarina moved to the side and lay on the ground with her clothing as her pillow and a blanket. "I need a long sleep, so don't wake me up."
Ray only nodded; she was going to sleep at least for a whole day, which meant Ray had a free day. He moved out of the hot water and went into a nearby cave, starting to train his body.
Even with the training's pressure on his mind, all of his thoughts were about one thing: women. There were many women that he wanted to turn into a harem member: Marian and Alexandria, Jade and Katarina.
Memories of their bodies and revealing clothes came to light in his mind, well, except for Marian. "When Alexandria returns, I can totally sleep with her, but the problem is I don't know that either she or Marian is ok with sharing."
Ray didn't like for her women to sleep with other men, but some just wanted to get laid with anyone that they saw. Ray loved a one-night too, but for her lovers to sleep with other men, that was unacceptable.
"Hey, Famine, why don't you give me a mission for Alexandria?" Ray had a weak connection with the succubus in the dungeons, yet they still could talk.
New mission
Fuck General Alexanderia in two weeks.
Rewards: 50000 experience
"I don't think that's possible with your current level, but if you do that, here is your reward."
Ray stared at the mission in his system; that amount could make him level 4 in one night. The reward for his current level was behind valuable.
"I have gathered many achievements too; when I reach level 4, a big chunk of coins will be there waiting for me too."
His training grew more fierce; he wanted to finish this faster. Many things awaited him after this.
In the iron mansion, Alice's dream form could see Ray training, but there was no sign of Katarina.
With nothing to do, she continued to watch him. "I read his physical tests for the military; he was on the average side, but now he's training for four hours straight. What secrets does he hide?"
Alice had never wanted to be on a monitor team; her magic allowed her to level up by watching other people's desires in their dreams, and her own taste was women that could barely give any experience. Yet they had made her participate in the dungeons with the promise of increasing her supplies.
"I should have never accepted it." There were many unknown things about the dungeon, and a Dracula Cardinal to counter Ray, and she herself, to tame the other woman, told her that it was all preplanned.
"Tomorrow, I will die." A tear left her eye; none of her dreams could carry her to the future.
Her nature didn't accept such a fate; she was still in her 50s, a young woman with a bright future, but all of that had to change because of those two monsters.
Her teeth grinned together as she clenched her fists. "Even if I'm going to die, you two will die with me."
A golden rose shook in her soul violently, wanting to be freed from her system.
"Calm down, I will use you at last." She laughed, "And send everyone in this dungeon to a dream that they can't wake up from."
