Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 642 Taking the Dungeon Elevator

Hence, the theories that once popped up about the dungeon 'taking away' skills were quickly debunked, even more so when the people who 'lost' their skills regained them some days later.

Thus, it was determined that through some means that had not been uncovered to date, Grimsgil's Dungeon 'Sealed Away' skills of its explorers/challengers.

From what Evan read in the Archive, each monster in the dungeon contained within their bodies, a strange type of energy that was imperceptible to most beings.

This energy was also omnipresent in the dungeon, and it permeated into the user's body right from the instant they entered the dungeon.

When the monsters of the dungeon came into contact with a dungeon explorer, they injected more of this energy into the explorer's body.

This energy used the link between the body and the soul to reach the explorer's soul and cloud over a random skill rune there, temporarily restricting the flow of power from these skills to the body and preventing the skill wielder from utilizing them.

Depending on the size of the skill rune and the strength of the monster, this energy may or may not be enough to seal a skill, hence the 50% chance.

As for why there was a Skill Sealing Guarantee every two floors; that was because the amount of the dungeon's ambient energy that would have accumulated in the explorer's body would be enough to seal a skill.

On a side note, most people didn't really lose unique skills until they got to deeper floors, since Unique skills had larger runes and needed more energy to accumulate

'That was a lot of information.'

lightsnοvεl Such a thought crossed Evan's mind as he closed the archive while skewering another monkey-type monster that wanted to jump onto his face.

'Really Nice skill I got here…'

Type: Rare Active SkillGoogle seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Effect; Summons spears of light from a surface to impale enemies within a certain radius around the user, and inflict elemental damage on them.

The AOE is determined by how much energy is infused upon the skill's activation, and the element of damage is dependent on the attribute of the energy infused.

Impaled enemies can be slammed to the ground to deal extra damage. |

The skill did exactly what its name dictated, it skewered its target to death, without mercy, as well.

"So, why are we in this messed up dungeon, Evan?"

Once again, Eliza questioned Evan, but this time, the boy gave a less cryptic answer.

"Our first destination is on the second floor."

"The one where we have to lose a skill?"

"Yeah, that one."

As Evan replied to Eliza, he crouched down to the ground and traced the tracks on the floor, looking at the walls and then comparing them to his map which the others did not see.

"Alright everyone, follow me. We're taking the shortest route down."

"Huh? How did you know the ro-"

**BOOOMM!!!

Kara's question was cut short by the sonic boom that followed, with Evan zooming off into the distance and leaving them behind.

"Just follow him."

Eliza spoke to Kara while patting the older woman's shoulder, before kicking off the ground and dashing off in the direction she sensed Evan's aura.

Like so, the group followed him and not long after, they arrived at the location of the Floor 1 Boss monster.

Upon entering the room and having the door shut behind them, the Boss Monster revealed itself to the group.

"Level 125? Would you look at that?

Funny, that was Xakon's exact level. TO think I nearly died fighting against something like this once.

Oh, how the times have changed."

"GROARR!!!"

The monster let out a roar as if trying to intimidate them but Evan just chuckled and waved his hand from right to left.

Following his gesture, a beam of golden icy light surged from a portal that appeared beside the boss, erasing the monster's body from existence, and leaving only a pair of frozen feet behind.

Inferior Masters had durabilites which could withstand strikes capable of levelling an area of over 25 acres, and Evan's casual attack that didn't even dent his energy reserves could vaporize such a monster.

This once again made Evan realise just how strong he had become.

"Onto the next floor!"

He didn't spend too long reminiscing, quickly moving down the stairs to the next floor while the rest followed him behind.

Just like floor 1, they blitzed floor 2 with ease while following Evan and arrived at the Boss Room pretty easily.

As soon as they entered the second-floor Boss Room, they felt a stinging sensation on their bodies, and without even needing to open their statuses, they knew that one of their skills had been greyed out.

Even Kolvar was no exception to this.

"Huh?"

David let out a voice of surprise as his status looked the same as ever even after the Boss Room doors closed, and hearing this, Evan asked with a wry smile.

"You didn't lose a skill, did you?"

"Yeah. I did not."

Now this brought expressions of surprise to the faces of all those present, but Evan only chuckled lightly while turning towards the two Deadly Sin Siblings.

"I didn't lose anything as well. What about you, sister?"

"No, Nothing."

Though Pride was speaking to Greed, her gaze was on Evan who was whistling suspiciously as he walked towards the Boss Room.

'As expected, she has already figured it out.'

Indeed, Pride was the only one who had now discerned the reason why Evan brought them to this Dungeon.

He skewered the Boss Monster's existence, not getting any experience due to the level difference, before sweeping the monster's corpse away with Thunder Clap.

After this, he walked up to where the monster had spawned and tapped the ground with his hand.

"There it is…"

Evan's mystic eyes glowed brightly as he slammed his palm onto the ground and called out.

"Hero Authority: Activate."

The entire boss room began trembling heavily, and the light of magic power manifested beneath their feet. Even Kolvar and Dandeyr were stunned as they had not detected any magic circle inside this room, much less one right under them.

As Evan activated this large magic circle, the elevated platform where he stood seemed to dip below the ground level.

"What is this…?"

"An Elevator."

Evan replied to Eliza's question calmly, but before he could give a follow-up, Pride posed another question.

"An Elevator leading to where?"

"The Basement.

Now then, mind coming along?

It's safe, if I might add."

He gestured to the others who were still looking around suspiciously, while David took a moment to study the magic circle at their feet. He didn't bother deactivating his eyes as if this magic circle was created by who he thought it was, there was nothing the current him could do about it.

"Was it Arlan?"

"Who else? It was all him. That's why 'No One Else' knows about this."

The Lion Beastman nodded before dragging his two sisters towards the 'Elevator'. When everyone else had arrived, Evan tapped the floor and their descent to the bottom of the dungeon began.

It was a short trip that lasted barely a minute despite the depths it took them, and they exited the elevator and emerged in what appeared to be one of the rest areas before a Floor Boss.

"What part of the Dungeon are we?"

"Floor 100."
