Chapter 108: Dungeon Law
"The Lion Clan is going to war." Lionel said as his fangs flashed dangerously!
His hairs were starting to rise, and his aura was just domineering the atmosphere!
It seems that Lionel was excited about what was to come in the near future.
And it seems that he got too excited as Jarina and Desire had something like a blue barrier around them.
Jarina shouted towards her father as she felt that she couldn't withstand the pressure anymore.
"Papa! Your power is leaking! Keep it down!" Jarina said.
After all, she had to put up a defense barrier just to help herself and Desire not to pass out.
However, even that defense barrier was starting to crack under Lionel's immense pressure.
And that was why Lionel said as he scratched his head.
"Ah, sorry, sorry. I got too excited."
After all, it was the truth that Lionel was excited about the war that would come.
It was then that Desire spoke while Jarina was putting out the barrier that she let out.
"What war are you talking about? Is it the one with Lamiya?"
"Oh, I'm not talking about that. Have you forgotten already? You little bastard." Lionel said as he smiled once more.
"Didn't I told you before that there is a Dungeon that appeared in the east of Jakart?"
"Of course, there would be a war between Clans and Guilds to take over the Dungeon."
And when Desire heard what Lionel said, his eyes immediately widened.
Of course, that was because of the word Dungeon. He knew what Dungeon is, as he already experienced one before.
However, he wasn't sure whether to tell it to Jarina, or even Lionel of that matter.
After all, the Dungeon of Spirit of Fire seems to be a special one.
It was obvious just from the name of the Dungeon.
However, the real reason why Desire was surprised was that there would be a war for one.
If the people knew of the Dungeon of Spirit of Fire, would there be a war for one too?
That was what Desire thought when he heard about that war.
And when Desire got a grip of himself, he finally answered Lionel.
"You're talking about the Dungeon in the east, right? Are you going there personally?"
As his Clan was going to war, it would be normal to say that Lionel would come.
After all, it could be said that the war is won as long as Lionel was present.
Lionel was just that strong, and even though Desire hasn't seen his strength yet, Desire believes that too.
However, it seems that his thoughts about the issue were wrong as Lionel answered his question.
"No, I won't go there. The war would be too easy if I did, after all."
"Kuhahahaha!" Lionel laughed as he puffed out his chest proudly.
However, he soon felt a stinging glare coming from the side.
Of course, that stinging glare was from his daughter.
It seems Jarina didn't like how Lionel answered Desire's question.
"Ahem!" Lionel coughed as he put a hand to cover his mouth.
Lionel then gave a furtive glance at Desire, and it seems that Desire hasn't noticed Jarina's stinging glare at Lionel.
After all, Lionel didn't want to be seen act so pathetically by his student right in front of him.
Well, Desire already knows, though.
"I'm just kidding. Ahem!"
"Clan masters, Guild leaders, or even Adventurers who are too strong are not allowed to join a Dungeon adventure when the rank is too low."
"And the Dungeon rank of this Dungeon in the east is just rank C."
"That is too low; therefore, I cannot join."
"Why, though? Is there a law or something that you guys have to uphold?" Desire asked.
After all, it was weird for him to see that the strongest guys are not allowed to participate in things like these.
"That's right. This law is called the Dungeon Law."
"The Dungeon Law is a set of laws that Conquerors, Clan masters, Guild Leaders, and every powerhouse have created."
"We all agreed with it, and that is why we are all under it. And we are called the 18 Kings."
"If someone somehow breaks a Dungeon Law, the other members in the 18 kings would destroy that someone thoroughly."
"However, if the Dungeon is ranked B or above, I don't really have to mind it."
When Desire heard what the Dungeon Law is all about, his eyes immediately widened.
After all, he didn't expect something like that to be in the works.
'The world is huge, huh.' Desire thought.
However, he didn't let himself be hung up in that as he spoke once more.
"How are you going to win the war, then? Also, is the 18 kings' set of laws everywhere?"
"I sent one of my men to lead the war. He's called Ryu. He's strong, too."
"The set of laws is everywhere. However, the 18 Kings are only in power in the south of Continent Aduminion."
"The ones who are in power in the east, north, and west are different people."
"Of course, if I move there, I would be counted as one of their powers too."
"Kuhahahaha!" Lionel laughed as he once more puffed out his chest proudly.
And Desire just watched him laugh as he started thinking.
'Dungeons, huh. It seems interesting.'
Ever since Desire went inside the Dungeon of Spirit of Fire, Desire didn't like them anymore.
Although Dungeons could make him strong, that Dungeon was just plain terrible.
At least, that's what Desire thought.
However, with Lionel explaining things, the Dungeon was painted with another color.
And that color was...curiosity.
Right, Desire was curious about the Dungeon.
Why did the humans created laws regarding Dungeons when Dungeons are about monsters? What is a Dungeon anyway? What lies at the top?
Desire had all those thoughts swimming in his mind right now.
And that was why Desire spoke.
He spoke with all the passion, determination, and heat he had right now.
"Lionel, I..."
"I want to join this Dungeon war."
