Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 131 Thoughts!

'It did mention once that [Plunder] was determined as Z rank. But that rank is not in the ranking. The ranks are only from H to SSS, so there is no way of knowing. Z rank can only be considered unranked.'

'Even if I fuss over it. There is no answer.' Shaking these thoughts out of his head. Shin decided to focus on something that's been bothering him for something.

Shin was unable to detect anything inside the nest. He did feel something was off about it. 'There should only be one elite monster here. What's this feeling?'

'This dungeon should only be level 2. With three regions. The outer region with normal monsters above level 20, the inner region with above level 30 monsters, and finally the central region with few elite monsters and other levels 30 and 40 monsters.'

'So the normal party recommendation doesn't work in this dungeon.'

'Is this not a level 2 dungeon? This time three-way no system alert.'

Shin was right. This dungeon was indeed a level 2 dungeon. But after the portal to another world opened and other races invaded. A huge influx of mana came along with it. With the sudden increase in mana, the dungeon had a mutation. So it grew from a level 2 dungeon to level 3.

When the dungeon was cleared before it was indeed level 2 and after the mutation, it hasn't been cleared. So the weak parties that challenge the nests end up dying.

"Guys let's enter the nest," Shin said.

No one had any qualms about that. As they soon entered the bee nest the size of a giant house.

As they entered the nest, a sweet scent of honey entered their nose. It was very addicting.

It was just too sweet.

Suddenly everyone was alarmed. They were surrounded by monsters.

***

45 minutes later.

The dungeon was cleared. As Shin expected this dungeon was not level 2 anymore. It was already a level 3 dungeon.

***

[Level 3 Dungeon]

[Recommened Party Level 30+]

[1 Fierce monster, Elite monsters, and Normal monsters.]

***

As it is mentioned. The chances of surviving with party members below level 30 are very less.

After all along with the ordinary level 30 to 40 monsters which amount to nearly 50. They need to defeat four elite monsters and one fierce monster.

It was not a difficult job for the Astros guild. Obviously, Shin and Alice didn't participate or else it wouldn't even be a fight.

They didn't exit it yet, because the soul servants were collecting the materials.

While everyone was resting as the dungeon was cleared, Shin thought about the fight.

His eyes turned to Elena.

(Elena was sweeping those monsters with her ice abilities. After ingesting the level 300 monster core her mana reserve has increased a lot. So she was able to use her abilities for a long time.)

'Elena is indeed awesome. I'm so glad to see her different from the future Elena.' The future Elena looked lifeless. Shin knew that she had lost everyone close to her as per the memories. But the impact on her was too terrible.

'If only I knew the exact cause.' Shin sighed.

'Even if I have Leonard's memory. Why doesn't he have anything useful?' Shin felt annoyed thinking about that.

He turned his eyes to Simon, thinking about what happened to the future him. 'At least he is getting stronger now.'

(Simon was covered in sweat while he was swinging a giant hammer. He was somewhat at a disadvantage against those flying monsters as he was a little slow. Even then once the monster gets hit by him. It was a one-smash kill.)

Then his eyes turned to two ladies talking with each other. 'These two are getting stronger too.'

(Marine was helping others by restricting the monster's movements.

Selene was improving her ability at an astonishing speed. She learned a lot watching Elena. She tried compressing her water and tried to increase the pressure whenever she used her ability.)

'Two of them are very smart, they don't need others to tell them anything. They just take on whichever role is needed. Their learning ability is also amazing. Selene is getting very good at controlling the water. Maybe she will soon understand the true strength of her abilities. I think Marine already got it.'

'I can speed up the plans for my next step, I guess.' Shin thought about the plans he had in mind. Then he turned to Alex.

(Alex was still taking... tanking hits from those monsters. But the expression he made was anything but a painful one.)

'Is he an M?' Shin couldn't help but wonder. Next James.

(James was able to control three golems now. Although their strengths were still not much.)

'Thinking of the future James who controlled an army of golems and seeing his current strength. I can't even imagine just what he experienced.'

(Jenny was also trying to use her barriers efficiently. Seeing her Shin couldn't help but frown as a memory flashed back.)

'Now that I think about it. When we first met, she did say something about those people who trapped them.'

Shin recalled and remembered. 'Right the blonde-haired guy she mentioned. What power he had?'

Suddenly his eyes flashed open. 'No way!! I should it confirm first. If what I remember is correct then it will be a huge mess.'

Jenny felt Shin's gaze and noticed his serious expression. She couldn't help but frown. 'What is it? Did I do something wrong? Why is he starting si seriously?'

'Don't tell me he found me out? But I haven't told anyone about it. He can't read my mind, right? I shouldn't panic. I can't b exposed yet.'

Jenny was very nervous at this moment. James saw her and asked in concern.

"What is it, Jenny? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything is fine," Jenny replies with a graceful smile.

James nodded in understanding but couldn't help worrying.

'I can't let them know about my plans yet.' Jenny thought as she glanced over at Shin and Alice.

***

"Why are you staring so intensely at others?" Shin turned his head as he heard Alice's words.

"Are you having fun staring at other girls when your girlfriend is right beside you?" Alice's words made in panic.

"No, No. You got it wrong." Shin tried to explain himself. He didn't like being accused of something he didn't do. Yes, he stared at them. But not because he had other motives. It's fine if that was his intention and she blamed him but now he couldn't accept it.

Alice giggled seeing Shin's panicked expression.

Shin was a little confused by her reaction.

Alice had a mischievous smile on her face as she explained herself.

"Ha ha, don't worry. I know. Your expressions were not of someone who was staring at them with such intentions. It was obvious, you were thinking about something deeply. Let me guess, it was about their abilities and our plans for the future."

Shin was flabbergasted. "How could she know all that?"

"Intuition I guess," Alice replied playfully.

"Well anyway. What made you troubled? What were you thinking?" Alice asked referring to the time when he was looking at Jenny.

Shin sighed and explained everything. "I haven't confirmed it yet, but we will have to face it sooner or later."

"I see.'

Alice was pondering deeply.

"I'll talk to them."

Shin stood up and started detecting any materials they missed.

Shin didn't notice that all this time while he was talking with Alice her pupil were crimson red. 'Thank god, Shin didn't think anything about them. Or I would have to kill them.'

(**Yes, how could she not be jealous? It's their good luck that Alice is a reasonable and patient girl. And so the girls in the Astros guild survived for another day.**)
