" The more stars means higher difficulty which is an obvious thing, The one I completed was [ Lava Plains of Armadillo ]. When I started it, I arrived in Lava Plains along with 3 random people where this big Armadillo rolls into a ball of lava and tries to attack us, It also spews jets of lava from its mouth everywhere and we have to attack when it does that because if it turns to ball form then we won't be able to damage it at all. "

Tiana took a breath before she continued, " And we have to finish it in one blow after it turns into its normal form and attacks us with its mouth because if we don't finish it in one blow then when it turns into its ball form it will gradually recover all of its injuries while rolling about everywhere in the ball form. "

Athan thought for a second and said, " I see, and I guess if it's Lava Plains then it will be also hard to move around without being careful. "

" Yep, The ground is all red as beneath it is a sea of lava, The surface cracks often and if you're not careful you might fall into it and die and If you are dead then you won't receive points even if other people defeats the Lavaris Armadillo, Also there are some minor rewards after you defeat it. "

Athan nodded hearing all that and said with a grin, " Well since you have the information on that dungeon then we'll do it first. "

Saying this, He selected [ Lava Plains of Armadillo ]

[ Matching...]

[ Matching completed. ]

[ Squad ]

-Athan

-Tiana

-Welpin

-Beth

The scenery changed as they arrived in Lave Plains.

All four of them appeared beside each other and just after that...

*ounrrrrrrraaa*

They heard a weird scream behind them and turn around only to see a 3 stories tall armadillo spewing out Jet of Lava that was rapidly closing onto them.

Athan dodged as [ Lightning Arial Wings ] appeared behind him and Tiana also dodged as a pair of wings with a mixed color of sparkling red and orange appeared behind her.

The other two people in the team, Welpin, and Beth also dodged with their own means, But unfortunately for Beth, Just as he dodged hurridly with a jump supported by an Air spell and landed on the ground not too far, He died.

Because the ground where he landed blasted open suddenly and he fell down into the Lava.

[ Beth is Eliminated. ]

The Lavaris Armadillo turned into a lava ball and came rolling towards them.

Tiana spoke with an anxious voice as she landed, " Athen don't fly with wings, get down fast. If you fly then all of your energy will gradually be consumed, Also the speed of consumption will increase if you continue to fly."

Athan had already noticed this and also landed.

" Looks like you two already know each other, and that lady over there seems to know some details.", A voice echoed towards Athan and Tiana.

Both of them looked towards their left where a person around the age of 25 was standing not too far from them.

He had big long white hair and a clean shaved face, his height was around 5.6 which was rather small and his body frame was slim like bamboo.

He grinned at them showing his teeth and spoke, " I have Air, Fire, Water, Light, Steam, and Sound element. If you got any strategy then I'm all ears. "

But Just as he spoke, The magma ball that was the Lavaris Armadillo came rolling towards him as he dodged towards Athan and Tiana's direction.

Tiana spoke impatiently, " We have a strategy to finish this Lavaris Armadillo in one shot But if you want to help us then first distract the armadillo with your sound attacks while we prepare a powerful spell. The next time it changes the form we will be able to kill it in one shot. "

" So simple? Alright, I'll distract it. " Saying this, Steam gathered under his feet along with Air as he jumped like a spring in the west direction.

While he was in the sky, He powerfully clapped with his two hands towards the Armadillo which sent a wave of sound attack towards it, successfully attracting it.

Meanwhile, Athan and Tiana formed their spells.

Athan formed his current strongest spell <Drilling Lance> and Tiana summoned her Blazing Railgun before charging it with her Lightning Inferno Energy.

But a strange scene occurred, The Armadillo that was rolling towards Welpin encountered a mishap.

While it was rolling, The surface exploded and it fell down which dumbfounded both Athan and Welpin, But not Tiana as she hurriedly spoke, " Don't let your guard down, It will shoot out from anywhere now, When it is in the sea of Lava, all of its senses become powerful along with its speed. "

Hearing what she said, The faces of Athan and Welpin turned serious as they extended their Mystic Energy outward.

After a few seconds, Athan's and Tiana's faces changed as both of them dodged in a different direction.

Not even a second after they dodged, The Armadillo appeared at the spot they previously stood and reverted to its normal form before opening its mouth and spewing Jets of Lava everywhere.

" Attack it now!! "

Hearing Tiana's voice, Athan threw the <Drilling Lance> with the full power of his physical strength towards The head of The Lavaris Armadillo while Tiana also attacked with her Blazing Railgun as a beam of Lightning Inferno Energy hit it.

Welpin also didn't hold back as he released high pressured Water blades with powerful slicing power and hit the Armadillo's abdomen.

*ounrrrrrrrraaaa*

...

[ Congratulations you have defeated Lavaris Armadillo. ]

[ 5 points to Athan and Welpin and 0 points for Beth. ]

[ 1x Normal Box to Athan and Welpin for completing the dungeon. ]

[ You have unlocked the option to play this dungeon in Dual Mode. If you can defeat Lavaris Armadillo as two people then you can earn additional 2 points. ]

After the announcement was over, Athan and Tiana appeared in the previous place where a lot of people were interacting with each other and many screens were lit up in the sky.

Tiana then said to Athan and said, " Open your normal box, I heard It contains random items, When I finished this dungeon previously, I also got one and from it, I received a Condensation Gate Creation pill. "

Athan was surprised that the box contains such things as The Condensation Gate Creation Pill costs 20 points.

' But I don't think that the pill is worth that many points. '

He then also brought out the box from his inventory, The box was fully white, and to open he just had to touch the lockpick on it which he did.

[ Congratulations, You have received 1x Light Energy Pill. ]

Looking at the Pill, Athan was a bit disappointed but he popped the pill into his mouth.

" This pill will saturate my Light Energy to 100,000 units in my real body so I might as well eat it now. "

Tiana nodded and asked, " Yeah, But what should we do now? Do we finish [ Lava Plains of Armadillo ] in Dual mode or do [ Grotto of the Demon Ant ]? "

Athan thought for a few seconds before replying.

" We should do [ Lava Plains of Armadillo ] in Dual mode, It shouldn't be so hard now, We will directly attack it after entering but if we fail then we can still defeat it. "

Tiana nodded and both of them started the dungeon in Dual mode.

...

*ounrrrrrrrraaaa*

They attacked the Armadillo right after entering but failed as The Lavaris Armadillo escaped into the lava sea after suffering the injuries.

And when it appeared once again under the feet of Athan who dodged carefully, Its injuries were already healed but This time Athan had prepared 2 powerful [ Drilling Lances ] and attacked with along with Tiana who also attacked it using a powerful spell instead of Blazing Railgun.

[ Congratulations, You have defeated Lavaris Armadillo in Dual Mode. ]

[ Rewards: 2 points and A Normal box to Athan and Tiana. ]

Both of them arrived in the Plaza after that.

Tiana first opened her normal box.

[ Congratulations, You have received an Ice Affinity Pill ]

!!!

Both Athan and Tiana were shocked that she got such a valuable item from the box.

Athan smiled and said, " You should eat it right now, The more affinity means more reserve of energy that will be used in different situations and more means. You only have 3 affinities right now and you will need more affinities in the future. "

Tiana nodded and popped the pill into her mouth.

Afterward, Athan also opened his box.

[ Congratulations, You have Received 1x Whipblade Vencera. ]

" Ohh..."

Athan was surprised to see the weapon in his hand.
