Chapter 499 - Himbaran Castle (3) (1/2)

This hidden stage was discovered accidentally by a player. That player was a low-level player that was leeching off from his group. Since he was the lowest player among the group, he could not contribute anything to the group. That was why he was assigned to be the loot picker among the group.

After that player's group finished the dungeon, all of the other players directly get out dungeon using the portal. Meanwhile, that player was picking up the king's loot.

When that player finished picking the loot and was about to get out of the dungeon, he saw the soldier's reinforcement that was supposed to be spawned every 2 minutes was still going on.

Of course, that player didn't have the power to defeat the soldiers. Fortunately, he was near the portal. Hence, he immediately got out of the dungeon.

Outside the dungeon, this player told the other about his discovery. The sudden discovery piqued the other players' interest, and they went inside the dungeon once again.

However, this time, they didn't get out of the dungeon after defeating the last boss, the king. Instead, they got out of the bedroom and wandered around the dungeon. To their surprise, a hidden pathway was opened after the king's death.

The group discovered the hidden's stage. However, since that was their first time, they got defeated miserably inside the hidden stage. After that dungeon run, all of the members decided to keep this a secret from the others.

Unfortunately, a human was always a human. One player invited a group of his friend to run this dungeon. Of course, that player didn't forget to remind them, 'Please keep this a secret'.

From that point, the secret slowly leaked, and just two days after the first discovery, every player in Two Worlds already knew about this hidden stage.

From various tries, people started to discover many things. The 100% drop rate of the herbs from the hidden stage's boss was one of them.

That was why this dungeon was a grinding place for those who needed the herbs. Of course, the popularity of this dungeon plummeted when many higher-level dungeons were introduced.

Back to Auron's group, who was still inside the dungeon, after picking all of the loot, the group got out of the room. They began following the path to the hidden pathway. Of course, they didn't get lost as this was not their first time.

Along the way, Auron's group still had to defeat the soldier that came their way. However, it was not an issue. In less than 5 minutes, the group arrived in front of the hidden pathway.

Before entering the path, Auron told them to prepare themselves. It was because the monster inside the hidden pathway was a lot stronger than the ordinary monster.

If the ordinary stage's monster had the level around the average level of the group that came inside, then the monster inside the hidden stage had a minimum level of the highest level member in the group.

Currently, the member with the highest level in Auron's group was Smite, who was level 480. This means the monster inside the hidden stage would have a level of at least 480.
