[CH200+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 233

We venture up the nearest mountain, following the large mana reading focused on a single area I'm picking up on my perception skill.

All of the enemy Blue Ogres that we pass don't seem to care much for us at all. They don't turn our way when we get nearby and hardly make a sound.

My first guess is it's night. Possibly, they're sensitive to the changes in light, so they become inactive when it's dark out. Then again, there's no difference between night and day in a dungeon, so this theory doesn't add up.

It must have something to do with its peculiar shielding, but we'll have to enter the break and see for ourselves.

After a final 20-minute trek up this rocky mountainside with the dim light of black flames and a white arrow to guide our way we finally make it.

Up on a flat sandy rock ledge, a violently spinning crimson-red portal spews mana out in all directions. The low-pitched hum can be heard from about 100 meters away and the vibrations it's sending through the air can be felt from almost 3 times that distance.

It's similar to the salamander break that Maria and I faced in the cave system. The break is spitting out dungeon mass from within it. Light blue energy flickers out and dissolves into the open air escaping the blood-red portal.

We tie our camels to a nearby tree and I leave food by their feet in case we're gone for too long.

The 4 of us walk toward the portal and draw our weapons. I take off the red cloak and switch it with my armor set from my item storage. I'm not sure what we'll face in this break.

I'm sure I can handle it, but there's no reason to take any unnecessary chances.

Moments later after a short walk, we all jump through.

After being teleported into this new break the bright white light of transfer magic fades. When I open my eyes everything is tinted light blue...

There are small shrubs and light green trees on the rising and falling high rocky walls, and curving natural pathways, mountains, and valleys are all made of incredibly light-colored stone.

The trickling sound of water fills my ears and I see a gentle waterfall on my left side. The rock color underneath the crystal clear water is so light, it may even be white. I can't tell for sure with this odd blue tint skewing my vision.

There's a deep canyon off to my right side and tall mountains straight ahead. They're all made of the same white rock, like all the pigment has been sucked out of it.

The humming noise from the portal we jumped through hasn't gone away. It feels like everything in this dungeon is slightly vibrating.

The mana density in the air is astronomically high, but It doesn't seem threatening at all. I'm getting the same cool and calm feeling from the surrounding mana particle in the air as I do when passing the Ogres outside.

We all stare at our surrounding for a few seconds.

Then, we're interrupted by a loud roar and stomping sounds approaching from a nearby downward-facing slope on our right side.

I activate enemy detection and inspect to pick up a level 441 and level 440 enemy coming towards us less than 300 meters away.

Arie turns to me.

"Looks like they're a little more lively in here."

I point my sword down into a canyon of white stone, then see the outlines of two Blue Ogres coming straight at us.

"Yeah, that was fast. Two of them, about the same level as the one we faced outside. Who wants to fight them first?"

Abby and Maria both light up with magic, but the green-haired earth wielder speaks up.
