Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Chapter 22.2 - The Chrono Grove

Returning to the physical realm, I found myself standing on the boundary of the Chrono Grove, its surreal landscape stretching out before me.

The afterglow of the enigmatic vision lingered in my thoughts, but I knew that now was not the time for introspection. This place was a hidden stage of the dungeon, but at the same time, it contained a special environment.

In this world, dungeons are places that are mostly associated with monsters and destruction. Therefore, there is a certain view of them being thought of as a place that needs to be left immediately.

A place of danger and hazard alone.

But, this was not necessarily true.

Dungeons are essentially sub-spaces that each have their own environment. Therefore, they can also be described as <little worlds with different rules> in other words.

And not everything in the world is dangerous. There are things that are beneficial as well. It is one's own responsibility to discern what is beneficial to them and what is not.

Even though this space is limited, there is still a lot to explore in this place.

And most importantly, this place is the ideal space to train.

'After all, the time flows faster here.'

Thirty days of time here is equal to 1 day of the outside world, which means one simple thing.

'I have exactly thirty days to train myself fully here and get out.'

In the game, if you couldn't conquer the dungeon after thirty days inside or one day after the boss was slain outside, you would be forcefully teleported outside of the dungeon since the sustained mana core would have disappeared.

'But, I need that reward.'

And, since I was going to need that reward, I couldn't simply sit and train. I also need to conquer the dungeon here, and it is not an easy task.

'The boss monster here is an intermediate-third-rank monster.'

"For Ethan, this task is not that challenging. But, for me, it is."

My stats are right now on the border of 2, which is not enough. For an intermediate third-rank monster, I need to have at least 3 in my stats to confront it directly without any problems, but I don't have such aside from one stat that is getting closer to it.

'Magic Power.'

However, right now, I am still unable to use my power to the maximum. And, because of that, necessary preparation and training should be done.

And this is my goal here.

With cautious steps, I began to wander through the Chrono Grove; my senses alert to the ever-shifting climates and landscapes.

SWOOSH-!

The bizarre changes in weather and terrain were as disorienting as they were fascinating, creating a sense of constant exploration in this confined space.

SWIRL-!

However, my movements were soon restricted by an invisible barrier of mana that enveloped the area.

It was an impenetrable wall, preventing me from venturing beyond its boundaries, just like in the first stage of the dungeon.

'Indeed, as expected, the barrier is still there.'

This was a mana barrier as well, but this one was not powered by the mana core of the dungeon but rather by a source outside of this place.
