Chapter 100 - Ch 100 : Ray Meet Tony Once Again

"The Government wants to investigate me?" Said Ray with a frown.

The man hesitated slightly before making his reply.

"Yes... and that.. can you release me now?"

When the Government had made an order, a civilian, of course, had no way to refuse, and Ray, who was an awakener, was not exempt from that. However, what had made Ray curious was that he had never received a summoning letter from the Government before.

Things seemed so fishy, but if he wanted to get to the end of this, Ray had no other choice but to follow this man.

Let's just get to the end of this quickly in case it would soon get out of hand.

Ray cut to the chase.

"I'll go with you."

"Really…."

A happy look floated upon the man's face as he stared at Ray. If he knew Ray would be this easy to persuade, then he would definitely not make any heavy hand before.

" Yes.. But if it was a trap, you know what would happen to you!"

. . . . . .

The two men arrived at the intended meeting place.

A new Dungeon entrance in the middle of the road that was pretty close to residential areas. Ray had watched about this before in the news, and the police officers have stepped in to control the access to the location.

There were almost no onlookers here, pretty strange considering the curious nature of Indonesians.

With a thud, the door of the car was closed.

Ray and Steve, the member of Jakarta's awakener association from before, had exited from the car and made their way towards the location where the other awakeners had been gathered.

But only after a few steps, some police come to them.

"Please show me your IDs."

The man, Steve, pulled out his wallet and displayed his Association membership.

"I'm Steve, a member of the Awakener association, and this is Ray, an awakener."

Of course, the police had also been told about this matter before. So when he saw it was none other than Steve, he didn't make it harder for the two of them and just let the two pass the check easily.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Steve."

"Keep up the good work."

Steve gave a slight nod to the policemen and continued on. After being treated like trash by Ray, he felt like he was very happy when somebody else treated him full of respect.

Ray followed right behind him, and the two proceeded to the Dungeon entrance.

Some government agent was already waiting in front of the Gate. It was a young woman with glasses. Just from a single glance, Ray could already say the woman was not bad looking and could even score a nine in his personal opinion.

She approached the two men after spotting them from a distance.

"Mr. Steve and Awakener Ray? My name is Mel. Please follow me. The others have been waiting for you."

Ray and Steve didn't reject and just nodded at the woman.

"Have the other comes yet?" Steve asked the woman while following her from behind

"Yes, you two are the last ones to come here. I thought you have failed your mission, Mr. Steve."

The Association employee chuckled and cracked a joke. But to Steve, it was more like a provocation.

Well, the two was indeed a rival from the past. But Steve decided to jump ship and enter the Association while the woman was climbing in the rank of Government agent.

"We have arrived. Other awakeners are waiting for you there. Mr. Steve can stay here while the two of us would head over there and greet them."

There was a group of awakeners who had arrived earlier where the Government agent was pointing at.

And unsurprisingly to Ray, all the people ahead of him were not unfamiliar to him except one.

Tony, Kiara, Eve, Mira, Jane, Lucy....

Adding Ray to the group, it was the only seven awakeners who survived the Lawang Sewu Dungeon exploration before.

And for the last one, it was a man with a government agent suit. His face displayed a kind and hearty smile, but for some reason, Ray's danger instinct told him that this man was very dangerous.

Ray unconsciously made eye contact with Eve, and the other party seemed to be thinking the same as him.

This Government agent is dangerous!!!

Well, while Ray was still observing the Government agent, he and Mel had arrived at the location where the other awakeners were standing.

When Ray and Mel approached closer, Mira, jane, and Lucy averted their gazes. While Tony smiled like a maniac, he seemed to be hiding something here.

" Hahahahaha, isn't it Ray? Long time no see!"

For the first time in forever, Tony came to Ray and shook his hand. His acting was so good that Ray would definitely not know that Tony had a hostile intention towards him if not for the Danger sense.

Ray narrowed his eyes.

'But, of course.'

Even before, Tony was always antagonizing Ray, so it would only be weird if he suddenly acted all friendly without any hidden meaning.

"Uhm, excuse me, Ms. Mel, when are we gonna enter the Dungeon here…."

While still averting her gaze from Ray, Mira asked Mel who was standing next to Ray. 

" Don't be hurried, Ms. Mira. We will be entering the Dungeon soon, but first, shouldn't we explain the situation to our little friend here? He seemed to be confused about the current situation."

Yup, until now, they haven't told Ray what to do.

Even though Ray had a guess after reaching this place, he still waited for Mel to further explain the situation to him.

" Mr. Ray, on behalf of the Government, I implore you to complete this new Dungeon exploration and completely destroy it from within. Normally, Government would try and take care of a Dungeon, but this Dungeon was different. This Dungeon is in the middle of Jakarta's road, and it will only give more disadvantage than benefit to the city." Mel said politely.

As expected, they really didn't intend to tell Ray what was truly happening, and if not For Steve's mistake, Ray would have gotten duped here.

The other party seemed to have no good intention to him, but for now, ray decided to stay low and wait for what the other side was gonna do.

Even if it was dangerous, Ray believed that he could still escape the Dungeon safely with his current combat power.

Ray didn't reply to Mel's words and just nodded.

Of course, Mel noticed something strange in Ray's gesture, but as long as their goal was reached, she would really give much care about this.

It was the instruction of the higher-ups, and subordinates like her could only follow the order. Still, the only trouble was about how to explain this to Jakarta's awakener association president. Mel just hoped that crazy man would not get mad if he knew about this plan.

Seeing Ray didn't give a fuck about her explanation, Mel decided to ignore him and returned her gaze back to Tony and the others.

"Who will be taking the lead today?"

Tony, who always has that supremacy complex, raised his hand about halfway up, and Mel nodded his head.

"Understood."

She didn't care who was leading. As long as the plan was going well, then it was all good for her.

With Tony leading them, The awakeners entered one by one.

"Let's get going as well."

Mel pushed Ray into the dungeon entrance and entered, albeit at the same time.

. . . . . . 

When Ray opened his eyes once again, he had been teleported into a whole new place.

The interior of the Dungeon was eerily quiet.

"….."

And not only that, but it was also completely dark, too.

Even Ray who's eyes were somewhat used to the darkness, could not see anything this time.

Tony, as the leader, issued his first order.

"Mira, give me the light."

"Alright."

When Mira used her fire arrow to light a small torch, she had prepared before. The surroundings became bright immediately.

Tony looked at the surroundings and frowned.

"What the hell? Where are all the monsters?"

"I wonder. There is no light in here, either."

Now, normally, there should have been some traces of monsters everywhere, but this Dungeon didn't have any of those.

' Is it another Special Dungeon?' Tony had a bad feeling in his heart.

Yup, if it was a special Dungeon, then it was reasonable that there were no traces of a monster here.

Special Dungeon was known to have a special mechanic, and usually, the awakeners needed to solve the special mechanic before proceeding further.

Of course, there is also some special dungeon like Lawang Sewu Dungeon who don't have many strange mechanics and only boast the number and strength of its monsters.

Suddenly, a voice came from the government agent that also came in this Dungeon Exploration.

"What are you guys waiting for? Let's just push forward and quickly clear this Dungeon!"

"Shush."

But then, one of the strongest awakeners here, Eve gestured the government agent to keep quiet. Because her danger sense was ringing, reminding her about the incoming danger.

Eve looked at Ray who also felt the same and spoke!

"It's not that there aren't any, they just haven't arrived yet."

*Rumble….*

Soon, the others could also feel there is something coming in their direction, and their eyes were focused on the front.

Only then did Tony realize something was amiss here.

'Don't tell me this is…..?'

The complexions of Tony instantly became ashen as he seem to notice the truth behind this Dungeon.

"It's spiders!! This is the Dungeon with Spider monsters inside of it!"
