Necromancer Of The Shadows

After entering the portal Valery felt her vision turning blurry for a moment, and the next second she found herself standing at the edge of an icy arena.

She looked around her and found she was actually inside a structure that looks like a gladiator stadium, but no one was in the stands.

The most amazing thing was that the entire stadium was made from pure white ice, which made it looks like a place where angels live.

The arena field Valery was standing in was one square kilometer big.

She wasn't surprised after seeing the ice stadium, because she already knew about it.

After glancing at the ice stadium for a moment she looked in the middle of the arena, where she can see a tall white monster standing.

Since she appeared at the end of the arena the monster was around five hundred meters away from her.

(2:59, 2:58...57...56..55)

A countdown of three minutes appeared in the corner of her eyes. She wasn't surprised after seeing the countdown since she knew after this countdown of three minutes ends, the match will start, and she will have to kill that monster in less than a minute to clear the floor.

Seeing the countdown she started to walk towards the monster who was standing in the middle of the icy arena.

Since she was five hundred meters away from the monster she wasn't able to see its appearance at first.

But as she closed the distance she finally saw the full appearance of the monster.

The monster was actually three meters tall and was covered in snow-white fur. Its two big eyes were bright yellow which gave it an intimidating look, its face was similar to a gorilla and there was a savage aura around it.

The monster was actually a C rank yeti.

Although the monster was C rank, just from its aura Valery can feel it was stronger than the horned wolf and the white bear that Evan killed earlier.

Feeling how strong the Yeti was instead of feeling nervous Valery felt happy.

The stronger the monster will be the more time Evan will take to kill it.

Even though the monster was strong, she was confident that she will be able to kill it in less than a minute if she use her trump card.

She knew since Evan accepted her bet he will also have his own means to deal with the monster, but she was sure that she will be the one who will win the bet.

Valery stopped after she was just twenty meters away from the yeti and looked at the timer.

(1:09..08..07..06..)

There was still around one minute left before the challenge start.

Valery didn't attack the yeti during this time because she knew she will be disqualified if she attack it before the countdown reaches zero.

While waiting for the countdown to reach zero Valery suddenly felt she was forgetting something.

She arched her eyebrows and tried to remember what she was forgetting.

Her eyes once again landed on the countdown where just 53 seconds were left, and she finally remembered what she was forgetting.

'I forget to tell him about this timer' cold sweat appeared on Valery's forehead and she thought about what will happen if Evan attacked the monster before this timer reaches zero.

"Surely he is not dumb enough to attack before the timer reaches zero" Valery tried to comfort herself, but for some reason, she was feeling he will definitely do something that he shouldn't.

"Since I told him he will have to defeat the monster in less than a minute, he will surely understand this three minutes timer is for him to reach near the monster and prepare himself before the challenge began."

Valery nodded and tried to comfort herself by saying this and stopped thinking about it.

"Let's focus on my challenge first, I will think about it after clearing this floor"

*****

After entering the portal same as Valery, Evan felt his vision turning blurry, and the next second he found himself standing at the edge of the icy arena.

Evan looked around him and was stunned when he saw the gladiator stadium made from white ice.

"Beautiful" Evan muttered because it was his first time seeing something like this.

But suddenly his eyes landed on the countdown that was running at the corner of his eye.

(2:59...58...57...56...)

Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw the countdown and did not understand what was this.

"Three minutes, why is there a countdown of three minutes" Evan muttered and looked at it with a confused face.

But suddenly he thought about something and his eyes opened wide.

"Could it be..." Evan muttered and remembered what Valery told him after entering the dungeon.

[ Since we can get the ice heart flower after clearing the dungeon, and this flower is not a regular reward, the difficulty of the dungeon will be at an all-time high. We will have to face more monsters, that people have to usually face while clearing the dungeon ]

Valery's words rang into Evan's mind and his face turned ugly.

He looked at the countdown and understood what was going on.

"Fu*k, I will have to defeat three monsters in three minutes" Evan shouted and started to look around him for the monster he has to kill.

Suddenly he felt the aura of the yeti that was standing in the middle of the arena, and an anger-filled expression appeared on his face.

"F*ck, why the hell that monster is so far away, I already lost thirty seconds figuring out what is happening" Evan shouted and dashed towards the yeti at his full speed.

While running he can't help, but think about what will happen if he loses the bet against Valery. He already used her cores.

'How the hell I will give her back the cores that I already used up'

Just thinking about it cold sweat appeared on his forehead and he ran towards the yeti with even more speed.
