You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

"Burn it all the way through."

The Thunderbone Lizard finally got angry.

It roared, its back spurs shattered, and it unleashed more than a dozen bolts of lightning!

These lightning bolts struck Lilith from all directions.

This is not a normal attack.

This is "Dungeon Breakthrough Strike".

It's about permissions, not people.

Lilith didn't have time to think too much before she slammed her scepter into the ground.

"Go ahead and burn it!"

The flame array exploded!

"boom--!!!"

The pillar of fire exploded, sending the lightning bolts rushing back in one breath.

The scene was so chaotic it looked like a pot of boiling oil had exploded.

Claudia was completely stunned.

"Is this woman crazy?"

Ron glanced at it and nodded.

"That's pretty crazy."

Why aren't you making a move?

"She's supporting me as I repair the core array."

"You actually let someone else shoulder the burden alone?"

"She wants to level up."

"Pull him down."

Ron ignored her.

He stared at the copy's energy curve on the console.

Lilith stood motionless in the very center of the flames.

In the last second before the Thunder Bone Lizard burst out of the ring of fire, her lips moved.

"burst."

"Path of Flames, Limit of Burning - Burst Mode".

boom--! ! !

The entire fire channel experienced a reverse explosion!

The Thunder Bone Lizard was instantly blown away, its entire body charred black, half of its bone spikes destroyed, and it lay on the ground shaking violently.

Lilith plopped down on the ground.

Her scepter broke in two, and the scroll vanished into thin air.

The system panel popped up.

[Ding—The enemy attack on the dungeon has been dispelled]

Combat Rating: A+

[Evaluation Subject: Lilith]

[Reward Distribution: Dungeon Influence +1]

[Reward: Bone Flame Crystal x2]

[Reward: Fire Resistance Growth +4]

Lilith lay on the ground, unwilling to move.

Ron walked over and looked down at her.

"Not bad, you've really improved."

"I want to hit you."

"Okay, get up first."

"I won't move."

"Then I'll carry you away."

"...Then I'll move."

Lilith lay there for a while, but eventually managed to get up on her own.

He muttered things like "I'm exhausted," "Heartless," and "It's burnt."

Ron didn't listen at all, he was only focused on adjusting the core defense array update.

Ron didn't listen at all, he was only focused on adjusting the core defense array update.

The Thunder Bone Lizard's explosion nearly set people on fire.

Even the energy storage array on the south side of the Black Language Cave was cracked in a small corner.

The system has started sending out pop-up warnings.

[Ding—Dungeon core capacity decreased by 3%]

[Recommended Fix: South Defense Energy Storage Core - Core Crystal Interface]

[Use existing resources to repair?]

"build."

Ron readily agreed.

[Resource Consumption: Bone Crystal x31, Flame Core Remnant x4, Pure Energy Shard x1]

[Estimated repair time: 6 hours]

[Expected recovery rate: 100%]

Before Ron could even breathe a sigh of relief, another notification popped up.

This time it wasn't a system pop-up within the instance.

It is an external message channel.

There are a few words written on it.

——【Imperial Capital · Noble Communication Interface】——

——【Source: Jury Headquarters · Red Power Signal】——

Ron was completely stunned.

"Red rights?"

Claudia moved closer.

"What the hell?"

"A letter from a nobleman in the capital."

"When did you get in touch with the capital?"

"I didn't get through... they contacted me first."

"Something good has happened?"

"No, they usually come to cause you some trouble."

Ron opened the noble's correspondence.

The projection interface unfolds, and a line of text illuminates.

[Lord Ron Blackwhisper Cave, the Council of Nobles has received intelligence regarding your abnormal growth in dungeons.]

The current council will dispatch Inspector General Marseille, Charter Officer Suvelli, and Arbitrator Card to your domain to conduct a "copy assessment and investigation."

[This notification is at the red level; refusal constitutes disobedience to Article 14, Paragraph 3 of the Copies Law Treaty, which may result in penalties such as blocking, removal, or refactoring.]

Ron finished reading and gave a cold laugh.

"They're in such a hurry to make a move, aren't they?"

Claudia touched his chin.

"To put it bluntly, it's because you've climbed up the Black Language Cave too fast, which has overshadowed the old noble dungeons, and they can't stand it anymore."

"It's a pity that even if you can't bear it, you have to bear it."

Ron slammed the notification projection to the ground and casually tapped the reply button.

[Reply: Welcome to the Black Language Grottoes, where you three distinguished guests have come to escape the summer heat.]

[It is recommended to bring one each of a sun umbrella, a fireproof cloak, and lightning protection oil.]

Claudia couldn't help but laugh.

Is this a reply or a provocation?

“He wants to come, so I told him to come properly.”

"So what's your next step?"

"Open for business."

"Didn't you just send the Thunderbone Lizard away?"

"The Thunderbone Lizard is the scout. Now it's time for the main course."
