1229 Inside The Blood Dungeon
"Blood Dungeon... So this is the reason why they decided to give it such a name," Evan muttered in a soft voice, looking at the atmosphere around him.
RED!
In his vision, there was nothing but blood-red colour. No matter where he lookedâsky, clouds, earth, trees, plants, soilâeverything was drenched in red, and a strong scent of blood permeated the surroundings.
Evan glanced back and noticed that there was no sign of the portal behind him, from which he had entered the dungeon.
"It seems I won't be able to leave on my own accord," He muttered lightly, unconcerned by the lack of an exit.
"First of all, I need to see that black figure, and second..." As Evan spoke, a small purple-coloured orb appeared in his hand.
He looked at the orb, and his eyes flashed with a deep light as its information flashed before his eyes.

---) Fragment Of The Origin Rune Essence: One of the four fragments of a broken Origin Rune Essence. Gathering all four Origin Rune Essence fragments can form a complete Origin Rune Essence. The complete Origin Rune Essence can be used to evolve a Primordial Rune into an Origin Rune.

Evan had found this fragment of the Origin Rune Essence in the basement of the Hunter Association building when he first went there to meet other high-level hunters of the earth.
After acquiring the Origin Rune Essence, he asked Boris about where it had come from, and Boris told him that a hunter had got it in the Blood Dungeon before it had closed.
Since then, Evan wanted to come here to see if he could find the remaining three fragments.
Currently, he had three Primordial Runes in his possession, and if he obtained the remaining three fragments of the Origin Rune Essence, he would be able to evolve one of them into an Origin Rune.
The dungeon hadn't placed restrictions on his core to lower his rank; his rank remained mid-level Rank Three. Instead, the rules of the Blood Dungeon were preventing him from using his full capabilities.
'Is that guy afraid that this space will be destroyed if I unleash my full power?' Evan wondered, though he found no answer.
He continued walking deeper into the Blood Dungeon, encountering a few monsters, but as most ranged from F-rank to A-rank, he completely ignored them and continued onward.
After about an hour of aimless walking, Evan suddenly spotted a towering mountain in the distance, its peak reaching beyond the blood-red clouds in the sky, and his eyes narrowed.
"This mountain is huge. Normally, I should have been able to see it even from the place where I first appeared in the dungeon, yet it only showed up now..." Evan said, his eyes gleaming with suspicion. "There's definitely something abnormal about this mountain."
He looked at the towering mountain and after thinking for a while, moved towards it.
Although the mountain looked close, it took Evan two full hours to reach its base.
As he got closer, he noticed there were no monsters in the vicinity, and even the blood-red trees and plants growing everywhere else in the dungeon were absent around the mountain.
Using his spiritual senses, he scanned the surroundings and soon detected something.
"That's..." Evan quickly moved toward the spot where his spiritual senses had just detected something and soon arrived at his destination.
"Do I need to go up there using these?" Evan murmured, looking at the thousands of stairs in front of him, leading to the top of the mountain.
