Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Dungeon breakout (Rewrited)
Everything went quiet after Arthur brought back his killing intent.
He looked around to see if anyone had a problem with him. His blood was boiling all the time because he had become a baby dragon.
It might be difficult, but he thinks he can control his anger to this extent.
Everyone turned their face away from him, afraid that he would focus his anger on them instead of Priscilla.
'There are only cowards here. Only a few knights are worthy of their titles.'
He then looked at Emilia. She looked at him with worry. She was not afraid of him at all.
She just thought that he might have a problem with everyone because of her.
He didn't think he would be this angry on behalf of Emilia, even though they had only just met.
'It can't be helped. She has a good personality and makes me want to protect her.'
Arthur sighed.
If this continued, how could he leave her here knowing how dangerous this world was for her?
Priscilla, who was directly affected by his murderous intent, cried out in fear. He might have gone too far, but she deserved to be punished.
Her knight had to rush to comfort her and teach her, this was why he wanted her to stop talking down on people because she might meet a real deal like him in the future.
He had just spoken to her before she entered the grand hall, and less than an hour later, she had finally met the real deal.
Luckily, he just wanted to teach her a lesson and didn't intend to hurt her in the first place.
"Well then, I think it's time to start the ceremony."
Arthur walked over to stand beside Emilia.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw that he had returned to normal.
The high nobles sitting on the high levels of seats discussed what should be done with Arthur.
However, they agreed that Arthur was only protecting his master's dignity, so there was nothing wrong with that, and he didn't use violence and just released murderous intent.
He could have done more harm but he chose to just teach Priscilla a lesson instead.
"If everyone is ready, let's start the ceremony."
The highest ranking noble announced
He wanted to start the ceremony as soon as possible before any more problems occurred.
Now the candidates standing before everyone were Crusch Karsten, Anastasia Hoshin, Emilia, Felt, and lastly Priscilla Barielle.
Crusch Karsten looked at Arthur with great interest.
She had never seen someone as interesting as him before.
'To think that there is someone like him in this kingdom.'
Crusch was calm and serious but she was honest, sincere and righteous.
Seeing someone who stood up for the weak and had the power to back it up.
He could be someone valuable to her. But when she saw how he looked at Emilia. She could only shake her head.
'That kind of look is not the look of someone who would switch sides because of money or rank. It seems like the chance of getting him is impossible.'
Crusch thought about it a little. Should she make alliances with Emila's camp?
She felt that an alliance with Emillia would be of great benefit to her when she had him.
The ceremony proceeded similarly to the anime, except that Arthur's presence foiled the plans of those who wanted to remove Felt from the candidacy and those who wanted to insult Emilia do not dare to speak out.
After the boring ceremony, Crusch and Anastasia approach Emilia. It seems that the two have similar plans.
Anastasia wanted to buy Arthur, but Emilia immediately refused. She said that he was not hers, so she could not sell him to her.
"So this is it. He's not yours. That means I can buy him directly."
Anastasia walked up to Arthur and offered a reasonable price to buy him.
Emilia looked at him with pitiful eyes. She hoped he wouldn't sell himself and leave her.
He laughed before answering Anastasia.
"If it's not US dollars, I won't take it."
"US Dollar?"
Anastasia was at a loss. She didn't know what the US dollar was and thought Arthur simply couldn't be bought with money.
"You're really interesting. This makes me want to get you even more."
When she thought he couldn't be bought with money
Anastasia then walked away. Everyone could tell that she had something planned. But they were not sure what the plan was.
Crusch then approached Emilia and asked her to become an ally.
"If you have any problems, you can ask for help from me any time."
Emilia looked at Arthur, as if she wanted him to make a decision on this matter.
Outside the dungeon, a major problem occurred.
The androids were unable to stop the monsters from emerging from the portal in time, causing them to start scattering in different directions throughout New York City.
Although many people had evacuated to safety, many people still refused to evacuate, preferring to face the danger rather than having to leave their property.
"We will not go anywhere. This is our home. If we leave here, where will we go?"
This gave Fury a huge headache. He announced to everyone that if anyone wanted to die, let them die.
"Is it okay for you to announce it like that, Director?"
Coulson was very worried. Now that the Avengers had responded and were starting to move but they might not be enough to deal with these monsters.
And it's not just their numbers that were a problem, they don't even know how to close the portal.
Even mad scientists like Bruce Banner and Reed Richards couldn't find a way to explain how a portal came to be and how to stop it.
"It's like the portal is alive. We can't do anything about it because it's always changing. Oh my gosh, this is amazing."
Reed, as usual, was the type of person who, when something scientifically interesting came up, was not interested in anything but research.
This was why he was still single today.
Fury's head hurt a lot, but he gritted his teeth until something happened to him.
「Congratulations, you've become a dungeon climber.」
「Please check the status」

"What the hell is happening to me?"
Fury could tell that something was wrong with his body.
His headache was gone and he tried to move his body and found that he was as strong as the genetically modified person.
"Coulson, go and get a syringe. Come and take my blood sample and send it to the lab now."
As expected of Fury, he didn't care about the dungeon system at all and immediately sent Coulson to get a syringe to draw his own blood and take it to the lab for testing.
He felt that the portal might have some effect on his body.
As for the system that appeared in front of him, he thought that it was probably just an illusion trying to trick him.
His blood test was done quickly, unlike having to wait in the hospital for days.
"The test results are out. Everything in the director's body is normal, except that the director's body has become much stronger than usual for no reason."
No one could give Fury an answer. Everything happened as if it were magic and not science.
This made him have to announce it to everyone himself.
"Everyone, if you hear a notification sound or see a screen pop up in front of you, report it immediately. We still don't know who or what did this."
Fury then received reports many times that more and more people were becoming dungeon climbers, becoming stronger and able to deal with monsters.
Fury wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"People are evolving and becoming dungeon climbers…"
Coulson reported to Fury from time to time, the monsters that were rampaging were like a trigger.
"It's too late for us to control it. It's as if everything that happened was planned by someone."
Fury closed his eyes. He thought of someone. There was only one person who could help him in this situation.
"Contact him immediately before things get worse."
Coulson nodded and immediately contacted the person Fury had mentioned, and the person Fury had mentioned was the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange.
He could see the possibilities of the future.
Fury wanted to know if the dungeon system was harmful to humans or not and who created it.
…
Inside the dungeon, the ceremony was not over yet, but a problem arose first, forcing Arthur to head back to the village.
Arthur didn't know that the problem outside the dungeon was getting bigger and bigger, but even though he knew the problem was big, it wasn't his fault.
He didn't create the dungeon, but he was certain that he was the main character.
There's no way he's not the main character.
That's because he's given powers that shouldn't exist in the Marvel universe.
"Well, it seems that they have started attacking the village. But because we have greatly strengthened the barrier, they can't do anything to the villagers."
Arthur headed back to the village. He told Emilia the truth that someone was attacking the village.
Emilia, who knew his true identity, immediately believed him and let him return to the village.
Rem wanted to return to the village with him, but he told her that he wanted her to take care of Emilia in his place.
She agreed and let him return to the village alone. However, she asked him to come back to her as soon as possible.
She seemed to feel sad when he was not around her, and he agreed with her without any problem.
He was confident in his power that he would be able to deal with the witch cult.
"This flying spell is really convenient."
Arthur was unlike Issei who had almost no magic in him.
Arthur had a mana core which worked well with dragon magic. Flying was a basic magic for dragons.
He arrived in the village shortly after and saw a group of witch cultists trying to break the barrier, but no matter what they did, they were unable to break it.
It's such a funny and pathetic picture at the same time.
Outside the dungeon.
Fury was really curious about how the dungeon system worked and who created it.
There were many people who became dungeon climbers after the dungeon broke out, but their body became a lot stronger.
It was enough for them to protect themselves from the monster.
And their parameters increase after they killed the monster or survived the ordeal.
Fury had his best agents do a survey and compare why their beginning parameters weren't as high as his and other S.H.I.E.L.D. members.
The members of S.H.I.E.L.D average parameters were at B level to A level which was different from normal people who started from H or G at best.
And even if they killed monsters. Their parameters stuck at S and didn't seem to go further than that.
"It felt like these dungeon monsters are for the beginner…"
It wasn't a difficult task to get the information.
They knew the reason why after a little investigation.
Natasha came to the base with Clint and she reported directly to him.
"We have finished our investigation as to why we have higher parameters than them. It is most likely because we have been trained and have done a lot of dangerous missions, so our parameters are higher than them."
Clint let her finish her report before he added his information.
"And I also did some investigations as well. I have checked the best athletics in the world and found that they have parameters in C at best. They have been trained but they could not become as strong as us because they didn't face dangerous situations. So the more dangerous life we have the more we become stronger through the tower dungeon system."
The harder their lives were, the more rewards they would receive from the system.
Fury looked at Clint and Natasha.
They had shown him their stats because they trusted him.

「Name: Natasha Romanoff
「Alias: Black Widow

「MAG I-96」
Natasha's life was much more difficult than Clint and she passed through more suicidal mission than him.
It was no surprise that she would be stronger than him.
And each level apart had a significant meaning.
"So what should we do next? Strange told us that he can't do anything about the portal as it is beyond his control."
Strange could not see any possibilities when it came to the portal.
He could not see anything at all with the eye of Agamotto.
But he could tell them that the dungeon system meant no harm and it might even be necessary for their survival against the world ending events that might happen in the future and now he had gone inside the dungeon to level up…
"I will go with Steve and the others to check around inside first. If you want to come then come quickly because I can tell that Tony is doing something dangerous inside the dungeon. We need someone to stop him."
Hearing that from Natasha. Fury sighed and looked at them.
"We should follow him and get level up as well. Those androids should let us go inside the dungeon now when they could not prevent the disaster."
Fury would go inside the dungeon himself with his best agents.
If Strange told him that the dungeon system was necessary for their survival then. He would do anything he could to level up.
Natasha and Clint looked at each other and nodded.
This was their chance to become as strong as Thor.
Fortunately, Thor wasn't on earth this time around so he missed the chance to become even more stronger.
"We are going to kick his ass when we meet again."
"You're absolutely right. Let's level up!"
They must be really annoyed with Thor to the point of wanting to level up and beat him up when they meet.
