Chapter 690 New Function

　　Arthur could have conquered this dungeon on his own. However, although dungeons were ranked according to the strongest members of a corresponding guild can clear, he was unafraid. Therefore, a C-rank guild must send its strongest members to clear a C-rank dungeon.

　　"I could clear it on my own, but it's better to use this as a chance to strengthen the belonging of those three. A deme-ranker needs to be respected, no matter where they are."

　　"There aren't many to respect them since we are lacking in members," said Oren as he watched the three awakeners walk down the path Arthur created. "Are you still mulling over the recruitment?"

　　"I will leave the initial weeding for Julia and you. You will be the recruitment officer, while Julia will be the vice-leader of Ascent. The reason is…"

　　"There is no need to feel guilty," interrupted Oren with a smile as he pushed his brother forward. "She is more suited for leading. I would like to take my time to train the spirit I contracted."

　　"We will work on that too," said Arthur with a smile before he walked behind the three. Alan and Yuran were friends already, but Li wasn't suited for chitchat.

　　"Since you are the strongest person among us, you should be this guild's vanguard and commander." Yuran was trying to make Li talk, but it was useless. The man was mute. "I don't have any ability other than my gun, but Alan is a transmutation awakener."

　　"There is no use, Yuran," said Arthur as he caught up to them. "Li is the quiet type. Even if he can talk, then he would rather stay silent. It was a part of the contract."

　　"A contract…" muttered Yuran with confusion before shrugging. "It's best to make friends with the ones you'll entrust with your back. Well, this dungeon will be different."

　　"This will be the first time we conquer a dungeon. Let us do it with a bang." Arthur grinned before turning to Li. "The device will also calculate the time we take to clear this dungeon. So there is no need to hold back."

　　Li nodded in understanding, and the four reached the temple's gate. Julia, Oren, and Selena watched from afar with worry. Finally, Arthur touched the temple's entrance, and the doors opened to reveal a portal that would lead them inside.

　　This dungeon was unassigned, as it was never discovered. This land was an uninhabited land filled with monsters and dangers. Even if a group of awakeners reaches this place, they will find it hard to enter this dungeon.

　　"Ascent," called out Arthur. "Let's go."

　　The four walked into the dungeon, and space wrapped around them. The moment they were inside, water struck them like a train. It felt as if they had walked into a wall of water, and Arthur raised his hand to create a barrier around them.

　　[Air-III]

　　A bubble around them pushed the water back and gave them air to breathe. The three deme-rankers inhaled the fresh air Arthur created like hungry wolves.

　　"It was a good idea to tag along," said Arthur as he turned toward the three wet people standing on the air bubble he created. "Although Li could have pushed the water away, the air would be limited."

　　"There is a job for all of us," said Yuran as he took out his gun. Arthur was fascinated the first time he saw the sniper in action. "It seems this dungeon hasn't been cleared because it's comparable to a B-rank. The environment is against us."

　　"Even if we managed to use potions for this guild, then these monsters will not let us roam free," said Alan. He was staring at the giant eel swimming in front of them. It was as big as a building, making them look like ants in comparison.

　　However, that wasn't the only monster. Many others swam in the underwater dungeon. All of them had sizes compared to giants, which would make any awakener weak in the knees.

　　"I apologize, but this dungeon is to assess your powers." Arthur stood to the back with his hands in his pockets. "After all, Ascent is my guild. I need to know how powerful my strongest members are."

　　"Even without the guild, I would be happy to work for you," said Yuran with eyes of gratitude. It seems he was still emotional after Arthur started treating his mother. Alan nodded, and Li unsheathed his wooden sword.

　　The three of them attacked at the same time. Li slashed toward the nearest eel, severing it in half. Yuran shot with his gun, and the mana blast vaporized the water before piercing a giant turtle's head. Alan made his clones swim through the water and cut down the monsters, leaving corpses of piranhas behind them.

　　Arthur watched as the underwater aquarium turned into a graveyard, and the blood dyed the water red. It did not please him to kill, but these were monsters. As the killing was underway, Arthur received a notification.

　　[You have leveled up!]

　　Arthur was confused because he was just standing there. The fights in Runera and Kera didn't make him level up because Arthur didn't get to kill monsters. However, it seems the legacy considered him part of the current fight.

　　[You have reached Level 40.]

　　[A New Function is Being Generated.]

　　[Party Function – Unlocked.]

　　[Party Function: A fight alongside your friends in a dungeon will now reward the user of the legacy, as well as the other members, with equal experience. This will strengthen all party members, and the rewarded experience will depend on the Party Unity Percentage.]

　　[PUP: 10% – 2x Multiplier.]

　　Arthur was bombarded with notifications from his legacy. After he read all of them, he realized one essential truth about the awakener's evolution. Miko explained to him once that fighting makes you stronger, but Arthur couldn't get it until the legacy digitalized it for him as experience.

　　Others didn't have a Level Up function like Arthur, as their experience rewarded them with growth directly. Arthur had more control over his legacy and could use more powerful runes the more he leveled up.

　　The air bubble grew more stabilized as Arthur reached a new level. After checking his ability, he realized that his Reality Manipulation ability was 2%. All of these prove one more thing: the legacy was alive, and it knew what Arthur was doing.

　　King Arthur was the one who came to this world to warn it about the Nameless. It was also the one whose soul resides in Arthur's body, making the legacy a living and aware creature that carried King Arthur's will.

　　"This dungeon is odd." Yuran stopped shooting from his gun as he turned to Arthur. "I feel like we can grow stronger in this place. We might have found ourselves a mana-rich dungeon."

　　Arthur smiled without answering. Yuran mistook the Party Function for the dungeon being responsible for this. It might be better to explain this was also a part of his powers. However, now was not the time.

　　Their path was cleared, and the monsters started floating to the surface or sinking to the bottom. Arthur looked around and realized they were inside a giant underwater cave. However, this was not the only thing there was.

　　"There is a palace in the distance. It must be the target of this dungeon."

　　"It is far below us," said Alan while staring down. "It might be better if we snip the monsters from afar. This air bubble might not handle their attacks."

　　"There is no need to hold back," said Arthur as he raised his hand. The air bubble started growing bigger until it turned into a giant fish. "I will drive us down, and the rest of you can keep attacking the incoming monsters. I have already started recording this dungeon."

　　The three nodded as each took a different direction to attack. Arthur brought his hand down, and the air began to move through the water and straight toward the palace. Monsters swarmed toward them, and the rest of them kept attacking. The more they took down, the more experience the world rewarded them.

　　The others were growing stronger without themselves realizing it. Arthur knew that Gaia also implanted this to ensure the world stood a fighting chance against the Nameless. It also gave humans abilities to make sure they survive.

　　The giant air fish inched closer to the underwater palace. Arthur had a déjà vu while remembering the Spirits Realm. At that time, he met the Deity of Seas, who wanted to kill him for some reason.
