Chapter 497 - Himbaran Castle (1) (1/2)

Himbaran Castle is the name of this dungeon. The dungeon's background story was about a crazy king that liked to torture his people.

Once a month, the king would select one person from his people and bring them to his castle. Inside the castle, the person would be brought to the torture room that the king had prepared for his desire.

At first, the people didn't know the king's intention for selecting the person. However, as time passed by, people started to wonder about the person he picked. It was because after getting selected, those people never be seen or back to their home.

Of course, the king gave various reasons to hide the fact. For a few months, the fact could be hidden. However, the king seemed not satisfied with the number of people he brought. The quantity began to change. From once a month to twice a month and finally to once a week.

With that change, the people started to get suspicious. The noble family inside the kingdom began to demand an explanation. However, those act just made the king became furious.

Using the act of treason, he started to pressure and even eradicate the noble family. The unrest citizen began to join hands. They planned to revolt against the king.

However, these people knew revolting was not easy. Hence, they hired an outside power. They hired an elite group of mercenaries to assassinate the king while the people distracted the soldiers.

Auron's group here would act like the hired mercenaries. Their task was to assassinate the king using the back door while the noble and people joined hand to distract the soldier.

However, nobody knew how, but the king discovers the plan. Hence, the wave of soldiers happened in the field, which was in stage 1.

As mentioned before, there were two ways to complete stage 1. The first one was to reach stage 2 place, which was the castle. Meanwhile, the second way was to completely eradicate these waves of soldiers.

And Auron's group chose the second method. There were a total of 5 waves. And each wave would contain 100 soldiers.

The first soldier's wave came into sight to Auron's group. Auron's group began to take out their weapon and form a formation. A simple and common formation.

The tanker would stand in the front while the range unit will stay at the back. The range unit, mage, and archer, including Auron, already began to fire their attacks from far away.

In truth, this dungeon was suitable for level 100's group. However, higher-level people could still get inside.

The only reason for this dungeon's popularity was because of the herbs that Auron should gather. This was the only place where the herbs would have a 100% drop rate.
