The glow of a swirling blue gate shone bright, illuminating the road. It had been here for over a week now, in the center of a road that was now safeguarded by policemen who were to keep watch to ensure no one went in accidentally or recklessly wanted to try his luck.
It was one of the many dungeons that had appeared, but this one was a goblin dungeon and wasn’t taken seriously after assessing it and discovering it was a Saint Tier dungeon.
Saint Tier dungeons were dangerous; they were District Tier threats, yet could be handled quite easily, especially when it was small dim-witted goblins.
A policeman sipping hot coffee to counter this cold night left the other four that were with him, went past the barricade, and stood a few metres away from the blue portal.
A policeman armed with protective gear and a huge blue-shelled tortoise stood close to the barricade to the gate to keep a close watch.
Making sure the eyes of their sole King Tier was on him, the policeman’s shoulders relaxed.
"When are those guild combatants going to clear this dungeon? It’s not been touched for four days, nothing is certain in this period. People live around here, for God’s sake. A dungeon break will not be pleasant."
He complained with narrowed eyes.
"Save your breath, Liam. This dungeon has been bought over by the Pagoda Guild. They have complete rights to clearing it for as much as they can for the next four months," his leader said from behind the barricade.
"It’s just a goblin dungeon. The authorities have cleared it once and there’s nothing there but goblins. The readings on the gauge tablet haven’t changed either. There’s no anomaly, there will be no outbreak, there’s no need to be worried."
"Why are newbies always so paranoid?" Another policeman asked his co-policeman, who shrugged.
"New to the job, I guess. Got fresh tense nerves after swearing an oath to protect lives."
Liam turned to them, looked at the bright blue gate, and left the barricade.
On a two-storey office building that was closed for the day was a being none of the policemen sensed, not even the King Tier tortoise and its summoner could detect this being.
Lysander sat on a throne made out of ice, his head hung low as he grabbed the handle of his broad intricate axe with both hands as if praying.
He was waiting.
Waiting for what?!
Liam had just taken a few steps out of the confines of the barricade when the bright blue glow that once illuminated their surroundings vanished.
Only the lights of the street lamps were on. Alarmed, Liam spun only to see that the blue gate had turned into a swirling black gate.
’A dungeon break!’
Liam swiftly reached out for his pistol, aiming it at the gate while their leader picked up his phone to call the authorities. Waiting for Pagoda Guild wasn’t an option any longer.
