289 The Start Of A Nightmare
Lux woke up to the sound of fighting.
It was still dark, and most of the people were still sleeping. However, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard in the distance.
The Half-Elf wasn't too worried because his subordinates didn't personally come to wake him up to let him know that they were in danger. He had given them the orders that if something was wrong, they should wake him up as soon as possible.
Since he was able to sleep without being disturbed it just means that there had been no situation when his life was in immediate danger.
After stifling a yawn, Lux glanced in the direction where his Skeletons were still fighting with their own kind. Diablo and the others were fighting only around six Rank 4 Skeletons at once, and killing them repeatedly as soon as they rebuilt themselves.
After looking at Diablo's damage, he discovered that only around two thousand points had been added to his Named Creature's attack and defense.
It wasn't an explosive increase, but it was a decent one. Lux already understood that he couldn't take his opponents lightly, so he prepared himself for a very long campaign.
After checking the conditions of the teenagers around him, he noticed that they were still feeling exhausted, so he didn't force them to fight at this point in time.
The enemy they were facing had the ability to prevent health, stamina, and any forms of recovery. So the teenagers feeling sluggish was a given since they couldn't recover naturally.
Only Einar, and Vall, seemed to be better than the rest, but he could tell that both of them were quite exhausted as well.
This battlefield gave the Undead an enormous advantage. Fortunately, Lux was also a Necromancer so he could allow his minions to fight non-stop, which allowed Diablo to increase his damage consistently.
"Are you sure we can really kill that thing?" Einar asked as he pointed at something that was glowing red in the distance.
"Yes," Lux replied. "But we need several days in order to do it. However, believe me when I say that once we reach that point, we will be able to deal with it without any problems, or without sacrificing anyone from this group."
"That's good to hear," Vall commented. "I don't have any intention of using my guild members as your cannon fodders."
Lux could only smile at Vall's comment because the latter's sarcasm was quite obvious for anyone to see.
"But, can you give me an estimate as to how long we need to stay in this dungeon before we can get the Sacred White Lotus?" Vall asked.
"The soonest will be in three days," Lux replied. "A week at the longest."
"I see." Vall rubbed his chin. "A week at the longest…"
Those who had gone to the Sacred Dungeon knew that the longer they stayed inside the dungeon, the more progress that they would gain from it. However, it was more of a matter of survival.
They were able to stay inside the dungeon for a long time due to the fact that they were afraid of charging into a head-on confrontation against a Boss Monster that was way beyond their capabilities.
Usually, fighting against Pseudo-Deimos Monsters required at least two-hundred up to five-hundred men teams to fight. It couldn't be won by a rag-tag group who had been grouped together just for the sake of adding 1+1+1 = 3.
A guild is more organized because only one person takes the helm to command everyone, allowing them to fight as a united front.

Although having three leaders like Lux, Einar, and Vall was more flexible, in the bigger picture, their efficiency wasn't that great in large-scale battles.
If not for the fact that Lux was a Necromancer that allowed him to have over a hundred minions, they would have no way of dealing with the countless Undead that was guarding the center of the Valley of Death.

Second Day…
"Damn! Why do you always target meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!" Cai squealed as it ran away with all of its might.
Everytime the Boar entered the outskirts of the valley, the Death Tyrant would appear and attack it with Death Rays.
This discovery allowed Lux to let Orion fight against the Boss Monster with the intention of increasing its Vengeance Stats everytime they faced each other.
Because of this, Lux would send the Boar out everytime the Death Tyrant returned to the center of the valley in order to lure it out again.
This happened several times and when the day was over, Orion's Vengeance meter had reached 700%, which made Lux extremely happy.
Each time the Rock Golem fought against the Death Tyrant, their battle would last a little longer than the one before that, allowing Lux to gauge how strong the Death Tyrant was.
When he saw that everyone was exhausted to the point that they couldn't even lift their finger anymore, he would order the skeletons to carry them back to the camp.
Diablo has already grown to the point that Ishtar could lure a few Skeletons over and the Skeleton Rider could dispose of them all by himself.
It meant that the teenagers no longer had to fight because Diablo had reached a stage where he could finish off the Rank 4 Skeletons with greater ease.
"Forty Thousand Bonus Attack," Lux muttered. "Not bad."
Diablo just needed to use his skill five times in order to destroy a Rank 4 Skeletons. When it ran out of Mana, it would just slash its enemies at least a dozen times before they died.
With the other Skeletons aiding him, Diablo was constantly getting stronger.
Orion was also not that far behind. Being able to increase his stats while dealing with the Death Tyrant allowed Lux to feel more confident that they would be able to overcome the Boss they were fighting, but even so, he couldn't shake off the nagging feeling at the back of his mind.
He felt as if something was terribly wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
This feeling continued until they reached the fourth day.
Loud cheering erupted in the surroundings as Orion and Diablo worked together to attack the Death Tyrant on both sides. They had reached a staggering amount of attack power that the Death Tyrant's screams were like music to their ears.
The moment Orion dealt the finishing blow to the Death Tyrant, the teenagers around him all glowed, showing that they had all leveled up after the Boss Monster had died.
Lux didn't gain experience from killing monsters. He could only gain additional stat points from absorbing the Beast Core that the monster dropped.
The Half-Elf's uneasy feeling flared up the moment the Death Tyrant fell on the ground, and dispersed like a cloud of ashes.or
It didn't leave anything behind, including a Beast Core, which made everyone who was looking forward to seeing the Pseudo-Deimos Ranked Beast Core scratch their heads in confusion.

However, their confusion didn't last long. Cai, who was paying close attention at the center of the Valley of Death froze, its entire body shaking in fear and panic.
Keane, who was standing beside Cai, noticed the strangeness of the Boar's behavior so he followed its gaze, and what he saw made him draw his sword fully from its scabbard.
Lux, Einar, and Vall finally realized that something was terribly wrong and immediately glanced in the direction where Cai and Keane were looking.
A second after that, Lux immediately shouted, catching everyone's attention.
"Run!" Lux shouted, and everyone ran as fast as they could in order to escape the nightmare that was materializing right behind them.
Over a dozen Death Tyrants appeared out of nowhere, and at the very center was a truly Monstrous Terror Death Tyrant, that was at least four times larger than the other Death Tyrant's that surrounded it.
"Orion, Asmodeus, block them!" Lux ordered as he retreated alongside the teenagers who were literally being carried or dragged by the Skeleton soldiers, because they no longer had the strength to flee.
The Rock Golem as well as the Obsidian Skeleton King immediately stood behind the young teenagers and used their bodies to block the attacks that were aimed in their direction.
Hundreds of ray attacks of different colors descended upon the two giants, whose sole purpose was to tank the damage that would otherwise hit the fleeing teenagers that they were protecting.
Orion only lasted for half a minute before exploding in shower of rubble. The Obsidian Skeleton King's Health Points was shaved a third after taking the full brunt of the next wave of ray attacks after Orion was destroyed.
Lux gave the Monstrous Terror Death Tyrant, that was bigger than the others, an appraising glance and gritted his teeth.

This time, Lux was seeing the name and other information of the Boss Monster, which told him that this was the real deal.
The monster that they had killed earlier was nothing more than a bug. A Monster that was a much weaker version of the Boss Monster that had finally made its appearance.
In front of thirteen Death Tyrants, Lux knew that this had gone beyond what he could handle. The only thing they could do was make a strategic retreat against so many Death Tyrants, that could wipe all of them with one glare from the hundreds of eyes that showed extreme hostility towards the people who had killed one of their brethren.
