Chapter 211: - The Night We Spent in a Dungeon Cave
According to the plan that Elincia and the others had discussed, the one who would mostly make the calls in battle was the tanker, which in this case was Skywarden. Although the overall plan would be discussed together, during critical battles, the tanker's role was crucial. If the tanker fell first, the entire party could collapse, so each member respected their own position.
They got off the carriage and arrived at the dungeon's entrance, situated in the middle of a desert, marked by a large, floating circular portal. Several players from the guild association were there, securing the entrance. This association was created to manage dungeon allocations across the Dissidia Kingdom.
High-level dungeons like the one they were about to explore today weren't popular among lower-level players due to their difficulty. Only large guilds like the Ass Guild dared to explore them.
They approached the portal with Skywarden leading, standing beside Charmelyn, while Starfall and Elincia were in the middle. Broken and Livelywood took up positions at the back to secure the group.
Each member of the Ass Guild party was quite independent and capable of defending themselves. Elincia, with her floating skill, could easily avoid danger, and Starfall, with her set of defensive skills, was not easily taken down. However, in large and intense battles, a dedicated tanker like Skywarden was still essential.
Skywarden paused before stepping into the dungeon and looked back. "I want this dungeon run to go smoothly, so," he glanced at Broken, "stay away from me and don't hinder me!" he said, then turned forward again.
Elincia raised her eyebrows and also glanced at Broken. "Don't mind his harsh words," she said with a smile.
Livelywood, standing next to Broken, glanced at the sword in Broken's hand-it was the Thorned Vindicator Sword.
"You're not going to fight using the Legendary weapon, Broken-san?" he asked.
Broken turned to him with a cheeky grin. "I want to learn more about sword fighting. So, while you're here, I want to observe you in action and practice during real combat."
"Ah ha ha," Livelywood laughed awkwardly. "I'm not that great... but I can spar with you during breaks inside the dungeon if you'd like."
"Thanks," Broken said appreciatively.
They stepped through the dungeon portal and immediately found themselves in a similar environment—a vast plain with scattered trees, and a few highlands and caves. As they entered, they felt the ground tremble beneath their feet, accompanied by roars from various directions. It was a level 200 dungeon, so the difficulty was undoubtedly high.
This dungeon allowed up to 10 players to enter, but they were tackling it with just six. Though their numbers were small, they were used to doing it with just five people. Elincia valued Broken's significant combat potential, especially with the two Legendary-grade weapons he possessed, making this dungeon run manageable.
A monstrous creature emerged from the ground-a giant worm, revealing only half its body. Its mouth gaped open, splitting into four sections lined with hundreds of teeth.
Other monsters also appeared, including beetles and scorpions. But one question lingered, Why did the worm have to be so enormous?

appeared to be gourmet meals, looking delicious even from a distance.
Meanwhile, Broken munched on the dried meat he had prepared for himself.
"Where's the special food your wife usually makes, Broken?" Elincia teased with a playful
giggle.
Broken smiled and shook his head. "We left too early, and I forgot to ask Ivana." Livelywood laughed awkwardly. "Broken-san, sorry, but are you really married to her?
Hehe."
Starfall chuckled softly at Livelywood's comment, and Elincia joined in with a smile.
"Why?" Livelywood looked confused, glancing between them. "Did I say something wrong?"
Elincia said, "I said 'your wife' to Broken, and he immediately named Ivana. So maybe that's why Livelywood thought you were actually married to her."
Broken grinned sheepishly, his mind catching up to the misunderstanding. "Ah, no... not married," he stammered, unsure of how to clarify further.
At that moment, he noticed Charmelyn staring at him intently, her gaze fixed as if lost in thought. When he met her eyes, she quickly looked away, refocusing on her piece of bread. "What's up with her? Did I do something wrong?" he wondered. "The last time we spoke was after the Raid Boss Vine Horror Treant. We haven't talked since then."
The atmosphere inside the cave was noticeably subdued, with Elincia being the only one actively breaking the silence. Starfall spoke sparingly, keeping her words to a minimum. Livelywood laughed at nearly everything, including yawns, as if he found humor in even the smallest things. Charmelyn remained quiet, keeping to herself, while Skywarden took every opportunity to complain.
After a sufficient rest, Elincia stood up. According to their plan, she would venture out to scout the area. She was the most agile among them, naturally suited for the task, whether by her ability to fly or Charmelyn's assassin-like scouting skills.
"Don't cause any trouble while I'm gone," she said, casting a pointed glance at Skywarden. "Shut up, Elincia. Do you think I'm a child?" Skywarden shot back.
"I wasn't necessarily talking to you," she replied with a smirk, before stepping out of the
cave.
Skywarden continued eating his meal without so much as glancing in Broken's direction. The group fell back into a tense silence, the only sounds coming from the crackling fire and the
faint rustling of nature outside.
