Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV

The previous wave of ferocious beasts' sneak attack and being attacked by all kinds of poisonous creatures made the four of them start to re-examine this secret realm.

"Judging from that wave of battle just now, if it comes again, we won't be able to withstand it." Butler Barry said, with some uneasiness.

...

That was only the first wave of attack when they entered the secret realm. If they went deeper, they would definitely encounter more enemies.

The three of them looked at Lucian at the same time.

From his performance just now, Lucian's battle experience was not inferior to theirs.

Moreover, he was calmer and did not panic at all.

He looked like a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles.

Emily asked, "Lucian, how do you think we should proceed from here?"

Lucian lowered his head and pondered for a moment. There were about 10 to 20 poisonous beasts that had just attacked.

If they continued to advance further, the number of ferocious beasts attacking them would definitely increase.

Most importantly, they had to be extra cautious when fighting with these beasts to prevent themselves from getting injured and poisoned.

They could not afford to drag it out if that was the case. It was very easy for accidents to happen if they moved forward slowly.

In the end, Lucian gave his suggestion.

"There is no turning back in the secret realm this time. We have to keep moving forward until we get the reward."

"The most important thing is that we can not drag it out. We don't have any poison-resistant equipment, and we have very few antidotes."

"So, my suggestion is to clear the level as quickly as possible and not engage in battle!"

"That way, we can avoid any accidents to the greatest extent."

Lucian's suggestion made the three of them nod their heads slightly. They felt that they should do this as well.

But soon, Butler Barry raised his doubts.

"From the situation just now, these beasts were very well hidden. We don't know which areas have enemies and which areas don't."

"If that's the case, it's impossible to advance quickly. We'll have to fight them sooner or later."

Emily nodded in agreement, "If the enemy's position is obvious, then we can scout and advance simultaneously. But we can't do that with the enemies just now."

Protector Mandy also nodded in agreement and frowned at the same time. This meant they had to advance while fighting and pay attention to the risk of being poisoned.

However, Lucian shook his head and said, "I can lead you to avoid the enemies and advance quickly."

The three of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you have some means to identify the enemies," said Butler Barry.

Lucian nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will lead the team and advance quickly!"

The three of them agreed and continued to move forward.

Butler Barry, initially in the lead, took over Lucian's position.

Lucian stood at the head of the team and led the three people behind him forward.

As they moved forward, Lucian used his Void-seer to detect the enemies around them.

As long as he sensed that there was a large area of enemies in that area, he would directly go around it. They might encounter some scattered enemies on the way, but those enemies were easily killed.

Emily and the other two discovered that, they encountered few enemies along the way under Lucian's lead.

It seemed that Lucian did not lie to them.

Thus, the three of them followed behind Lucian even more firmly.

Gradually, they were almost at the center of the mystical realm.

The more they got closer to the center, the fewer the ferocious beasts appeared around them.

Generally speaking, the center or end of the dungeon would be occupied by a Boss.

The other ferocious beasts would not dare approach a Boss' territory.

When they realized that the number of ferocious beasts around them was decreasing, they understood that they were almost at the heart of the dungeon.

They passed through the ruins, and suddenly, the area in front of them became wide open.

A large piece of empty land suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. In the center of the empty land, there were four circular formations.

Mysterious patterns were carved on the formations, and the surrounding energy constantly surged.

Lucian stopped and whispered, "Be careful. This might be where the Boss is."

Emily looked excited. "In other words, this is the secret realm's reward location. Since that's the case, let's hurry out and get rid of that monster!"

She couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to go out and look for the Boss.

Lucian stopped and reminded her, "It's better to be careful…"

Lucian felt that it was a little strange. Void-Seer eyes didn't sense any powerful enemies around him.

Could it be that there was no Boss here?

Although it was a little ridiculous, Lucian still believed in his skill.

"I think there might not be a Boss here."

Lucian's words made the three of them curious.

"That's impossible. How could there be no Boss in such a dangerous secret realm?" Emily was a little disappointed.

If there wasn't a powerful Boss, it basically meant that the rewards of this secret realm wouldn't be much.

Lucian took the lead and walked out. "Let's go and take a look first."

With someone taking the lead, the three of them quickly followed.

They slowly approached and arrived at the center of the array.

Then, all four of them received a notification at the same time.

[ Hidden Dungeon Discovered: Plague Dragon Lair! ]

This notification left the four of them stunned.

These four arrays were teleportation arrays!

"There's actually an even deeper dungeon! It looks like these poisonous creatures are guarding this Plague Dragon Lair!" Lucian frowned.

"This has already exceeded my level…" Emily said with some regret.

Although she was in a rush to improve her strength, she also knew what level she was at. A Fear level dungeon was far from what she could deal with.

Emily looked at Butler Barry and Protector Mandy and said, "This time, you two can go ahead. If you get the reward, you two can get a bigger portion of it too."

Butler Barry quickly nodded and said, "Alright, Miss… In that case, Protector Mandy and I will enter the dungeon. The two of you can stay here and wait."

Lucian immediately refused. It was not easy for him to encounter an opportunity, so how could he give it up so easily? If he did not participate now, he probably would not get any benefits when the dungeon ended.

"I want to enter the dungeon too."

Butler Barry quickly reassured him, "You're only level 14, so you're not suitable to enter this dungeon. If you enter, it will only delay us from completing the dungeon."

"When the dungeon is completed, we'll give you some rewards. You don't need to force yourself…"

Butler Barry's persuasion made Lucian sigh.

Lucian was not afraid of danger as he had many life-saving skills. If he could not defeat the Boss, he could just run away.

...

But now, he was not fighting alone. He wouldn't have much freedom with teammates by his side.

"Alright then. You two enter the dungeon. We will wait for you here."

Butler Barry and Protector Mandy nodded simultaneously and walked into the teleportation array.

At that moment, Lucian could suddenly sense the presence of danger from the formation.

The four formations represented the East, West, South, and North. There were four arrays representing four directions to the Plague Dragon Lair.

Now, the formation in the south has revealed a dangerous aura. Lucian was just about to warn them when he realized that the dangerous aura had changed, emanating from the formation in the west.

However, very soon, the dangerous aura came from the north side, then the east side…

Lucian quickly understood that the Boss in the dungeon might have sensed them through the teleportation formation.

Hence, he frantically wandered around the four teleportation points, trying to catch them as soon as they landed on a specific teleportation array.

From this, it could be seen that the dungeon Boss' movement speed was extremely fast!

"Both of you, you must be careful after entering. The movement speed of this dungeon Boss is extremely fast! After teleporting over, don't stay in the same place for too long!"

After listening to Lucian's advice, both of them nodded their heads.

The fact that Lucian had led them all the way here already proved that he had a very strong perception ability.

Therefore, the two of them did not doubt Lucian's words.

"Don't worry. If we can't defeat the Boss, we will return as soon as possible." Butler Barry reassured.

Protector Mandy swung the short sword in her hand twice and said firmly, "We are going in to kill this Boss. There is no need to run!"

"Alright, you guys go on in. If anything happens, we will support you as soon as possible."

However, when Butler Barry heard this, he shook his head with a grave expression.

"No, if anything happens to us, you guys should run away quickly. If both of us are defeated, then both of you are definitely no match for it!"

Protector Mandy looked at Emily and said, "If anything happens, you must run back. You don't have to come and save us!"

Hearing this, Emily felt a slight discomfort in her heart. She didn't know what to say to that.

However, Lucian had already made up his mind that he had to go in and challenge the Boss. Otherwise, wouldn't he have come in vain?
