Dungeon Workers - Chapter 2 Alliance Council

An hour back before the incident happened.

In the Alliance tower located just north of the Dungeon Entrance in a few kilometer distance.

inside the room, there’s a huge round table made of expensive materials but mostly embedded with diamonds in every inch of the grid with 8 very luxurious chairs around the table.

But the room was empty.

‘krr-Kacha’

The door made a sound as it was being opened slowly.

“Bheldtord-sama, I beg you…let us not go inside this room”. a young boy’s voice was heard in a scared manner talking to the other party.

“Ssshh!!… don’t be a scaredy cat now Isaac…”. Bheldtord responded in a carefree tone.

Bheldtord Lurinvik is the youngest of all 6 sons of the Lurinvik royal family where they hold great prestige from any other 13 royal blood family in the alliance and apart from being a human family they also held very good influence to the other races.

While Isaac is a Half-elf that serves the Lurinvik family and assigned as bheldtord’s personal attendant and his childhood friend.

They are both at the same age of 14.

“B-But Bheeeldtooord-samaa… wha-what if we get caught…”

“Heehee… Dont worry isaac, my daddy is part of the council!”. Bheldtord lifted up his chest as he speaks of his father’s accomplishment.

Getting into the council is hard afterall, only 8 can be chosen from 13 royal families…and the council holds greater power than any regular royal families.

“Okay enough… follow me closely…”

Isaac let out a sigh before following bheldtord behind closely sneakily.

‘But wow…This room is very huge and…very expensive…’. Isaac thought and was surprised after scanning the room on every edge.

Until both of their gazes fall upon a very large round table and luxurious chairs surrounding the table.

“Wahahwow!…I bet this is much more expensive than ours in the household!”. Bheldtord exclaimed.

“true… to think that they get to seat this every time… it must be comfy…”. Isaac responded.

Both of them lay their fingers on the table and chair with eyes of curiosity in them.

“Its decided! im gonna sit on this chair!”.

“Me too- me too…”

“Of course of course isaac!, we are part of the council now! mwahahaha…”

His father took great lengths and hard work just to seat on this very chair…thinking of it made him feel very special and accomplished.

Outside the room, In the hallway… footsteps of 8 people can be heard.

It’s the 8 council members that are on their way to the council room while exchanging pleasantries and talking different topics to each other.

“Council Lurinvik, I heard your youngest son just won the sword competition the other day… it must be nice to have a son to be proud of hahahaha”. a 157cm middle-aged dwarf with a strong built and has brown beard spoke.

“Its nothing much Zeig hahaha…, But I heard you have a son too who excelled in craftsmith in the younger generation…a prodigy I say…” Lurinvik responded.

“‘Sigh’…He is… but he still has so much to learn just apart from his bad attitude.”

They continued the conversation for a few whiles with the others also until a servant of the other royal council family noticed that the door to the council room is opened.

“Your royal councils, the door to the council room is opened!”

“What?!”. One of the 8 council members exclaimed.

The council room is a very special room with great treasures and artifacts especially in the middle of the round table the most valued and treasured artifact… a big black circle crystal.

The big black crystal functions as the true Heart of System!… It manages by sending the unique mana required in the Gate directly into the other emitation HOS room in the Dungeon and it is also responsible for the barrier of the Alliance tower, Controls the Magic in the whole city! and to prevent malicious magic inside the City barrier.

They then hurried their footsteps towards the room just thinking about the consequences of what could happen.

“HURRY!”

They then quickly barged into the door and what they saw left them completely surprised.

They saw two young boys standing and seating to each other on the round table holding swords in their hands just a bit far away from the black crystal. and the other chairs disoriented from its position before.

The other council members were gaping their mouths looking at the mess these two made.

Especially for Lurinvik…It was very embarrassment seeing that his son is responsible for this.

“AAHHH! Bheldtord! what the hell are you two doing up there!”. Lurinvik exclaimed.

The two boys didn’t expect the sudden arrival of the council members while they were in the midst of roleplaying as demon king and hero in their epic final fight.

“Father what are you doing here?”. Bheldtord asked.

“You Idiot! that’s my question!”.

Bheldtord realized that he and Isaac were still inside the council room thus made him more shocked and confused what to do while large sweat is forming from his forehead.

Isaac quickly jumped down from the table lowering his head on the floor asking for forgiveness.

“Great Councils!, p-please pardon us!”. Isaac pleaded.

Upon seeing Isaac pleading to his father and the other council members, Bheldtord stepped a bit back touching the black crystal in the center with the tip of his sword handle without anyone noticing it… then he quickly jumped down from the table and lower his head also asking for forgiveness.

“Father! I only force Isaac to follow me inside the room… please do not punish him”

Isaac was touched after what bheldtord said.

But it was true that he was really just forced to come with him in this room.

“Please forgive us!”

“P-Please forgive us!”

They both pleaded for the last time.

“Enough!…”. Lurinvik shouted then letting out a sigh after.

“…No one is getting punished, just learn from this mistake and remember that this room is not a playground!”

The other council members nodded in agreement.

“Yes Father!”.

“Yes sir!”.

“Okay… you both can go now”. Rigreir, one of the council member spoke.

Both of them let out a sigh before nodding.

Bheldtord and Isaac didnt expect things to go as easy as they did not it thought would be.

They both slowly stood up and walk towards the door when…

“Bheldtord, wait for my return at the household”. Lurinvix spoke.

Bheldtord felt his body shivers from the bottom of his toe to the top his head while saying ‘Im dead… Im dead…’ repeatedly in his head.

Rigreir interjected and said “Just let them be lurinvix hahah theyre only just a child”.

‘Reigreir-sama…’ Bheldtord and Isaac thought while crying in relief deep inside.

“Fine…”. Lurinvix responded after taking one final glance to his son.

After the boys left the room another council member spoke.”Okay…its time for our meeting…”.

Just when everyone nodded helplessly just by looking at the mess before them… The black crystal on the table suddenly glowed.

“What is it!”. Zeig said confusingly.

Everyone was bewildered.

Then suddenly there was a very strong force pulling them all into the crystal.

“Its absorbing us! quickly cast all your magic enhancements!”. Gaijo another council member exclaimed.

Lurinvik and the others quickly did so and feel it slowly alleviating from the force but suddenly again the force sucking them is getting stronger and stronger.

The other council members was slowly getting sucked one by one.

Just outside the room, Bheldtord and isaac just got out from the room and was now walking away when suddenly they heard screams in agony and pain coming from the room they were in before.

“What-What happened?”. Bheldtord asked anxiously.

“Go check it out while i call for help”. Isaac responded.

They both nodded together before running opposite to each other.

huff hff hufff

‘krr-kacha!’

The door sounded once more being opened.

“FATHER!”. Bheldtord cried anxiously.

But what he saw instead left him surprised and frozen.

–

“Luxu! hurry up and close the gate”. a muscular voice of a drunked gatekeeper was heard ordering his apprentice.

“Y-Yes!”. Luxu hurried his footsteps towards the HOS (Heart of System).

He arrived in a room and saw a large dense blue crystal in a platform with 4 tubes in each corner.

“I think i remember Henmark saying to apply the unique magic circulation to close the gate or something like that.”.

“so… let’s see…”. Luxu started circulating his magic into the large crystal.

“huh… that’s strange…”. Luxu realized that something was amiss.

“I need to call Henmark!”.

Just moments later after he left the HOS… it exploded and he got caught up in the explosion and even henmark drinking in another room.

After parting ways with bheldtord, Isaac went to another hall downstairs to ask for help when suddenly.

Isaac heard a very loud explosion outside the tower and the tower begins to shake.

He runs toward a nearby window and saw a huge fire rising above the sky through it…

Another man just besides him noticed the fire through the window also and the look on his face was warped in horror.

Like seeing a ghost for the first time.

“Mister! what happened?”. Isaac asked anxiously.

“Theres a very large horde of Monsters!”.the man replied.

Then the man’s gaze fell unto something which turned him ghastly pale of fright and helplessness.

“I-It’s… an I-Inferno Humanoid…”. the man exclaimed.

Isaac was surprised after hearing the name and he thought of something similar to the books he read before.

“Inferno…Humanoid…, Wait! isnt that a legendary monster who slew thousands of workers 50years ago??? Thats Impossible!”. Isaac couldn’t believe from what he heard.

“That monster was killed by Garo, The Strongest Worker 50 years ago!”.

His voice suddenly grew hoarser.

Then the man interjected. “See for yourself!” pointing his finger to a certain location.

Isaac quickly turned his head and used magic to enhance his vision.

In an engulfing fire on the Dungeon Entrance… He saw a large horde of monsters with red glowing eyes slowly getting out from the shadows and just a few meters away behind he saw a burning large tall monster with mythical equipment and fire surrounding its body, smiling which gives off an eerie feeling…

‘gasp’
