Chapter 1994 Treasure Dungeon I
"To clear a treasure dungeon, one must have treasure tickets. Since there are two of us, we need two treasure tickets." Adrian stated.
Treasure dungeons are special dungeons that can be entered when they have special entry tickets. Adrian has yet to enter one since treasure tickets were items that only had a 0.00001% chance of dropping when killing monsters. It was an incredibly miniscule chance that even Adrian's luck could never give him one.
"Is that so? I have five more treasure tickets remaining. Here you can have one since I have a lot." Piggy Bank stated as he is now a bit calm due to Adrian's calm demeanor.
"Did you buy them? I know that a treasure ticket costs at least 10,000 gold coins to get. The fact that someone is willing to sell them means that you must have paid quite a sum." Adrian stated as he could not believe that Piggy Bank was able to get five treasure tickets.
"Oh! Not really. They were dropped from the monsters that I killed from travelling. I do not get inside the Treasure Dungeon because the monsters are supposed to be stronger than you. I am afraid that I would easily die if I entered by myself, but I am now confident with your around." Piggy Bank stated as he gave Adrian a thumb's up.
Adrian's eye twitched as he could not believe that Piggy Bank was able to get five treasure tickets from random monsters. Adrian has killed a lot of monsters but even he has yet to get one. He actually wanted to ask how high Piggy Bank's Luck stat is to see the difference, but he did not want to be disheartened.
"Then we should enter the Treasure Dungeon then. Let us kill the Money Bag since that is the boss monster there." Adrian stated as he maintained a smile and ripped the treasure ticket.
[You have used one Treasure Ticket. You will be transported to the dungeon after your party members also use a ticket.]
[Your party member, Piggy Bank, has used one Treasure Ticket.]
[The party will now be transported to the Treasure Dungeon.]
Adrian and Piggy Bank suddenly vanished from the area as they were transported to the treasure dungeon. It was a dungeon with an entire mountain covered in gold. One would think that they can mine all the gold for money but that cannot be the case. Treasure Dungeons are not simple dungeons that will wait for you to exit.
[You have entered the Treasure Dungeon.]
[You can now defeat the monsters in the Treasure Dungeon to gain more reward.]
[You have ten minutes to make it into the boss room or you will be forced out of the Treasure Dungeon with only 10% of what you have received.]
Adrian saw the notifications and immediately looked to see Piggy Bank's reaction. Just as he watched on a stream, Treasure Dungeons are time limited dungeons that does not reward anyone that does not clear it within the time limit. People have tried to mine the gold rocks, but they could not do so without expending all the time. In the end, the only way to actually get loot from the Treasure Dungeon is to clear it with less time.
"I can feel it! I can feel a Golden Goblin nearby!" Piggy Bank stated which made him excited.
Adrian did not know if Piggy Bank's luck has to do with it, but they did say that Treasure Dungeons have a 5% chance to spawn a Golden Goblin. The fact that one spawned in their first try meant that most of the quest would be cleared if they succeed in capturing it. Adrian did not wait or stand in ceremony as he immediately deployed Sirius and Charon to capture the golden goblin.
"Let us go! We must make haste. Ignore the other mobs as the golden goblin is our priority." Adrian stated as he was also excited since this is the first time he will catch a golden goblin alive.
Sirius and Charon vanished immediately to start with the search for the golden goblin. Adrian grabbed Piggy Bank and flew towards the direction that the latter was pointing to. They came across monsters called Small Goodie Bags that contain some coins and gems. Defeating those monsters would give anyone the contents inside of them.
They did not kill the Small Goodie Bags as they were focused on capturing the Golden Goblin. Since Golden Goblins are beings that could actually jump through space if cornered. Adrian needed to be there so that he could trap the monster since the quest told them to capture it alive. Sirius and Charon finally gave him a signal that they have found the Golden Goblin, but they were keeping their distance in order to not startle it.
The Golden Goblin could be seen snatching some gold coins and gems that are pouring out from the Small Goodie Bags. It seems to be enjoying the fact that it could easily enter Treasure Dungeons. Golden Goblins also have incredible sensitivity when it comes to bloodlust which is why they often escape with just sensing it.
"Found you!" Adrian stated as he suddenly appeared in front of the Golden Goblin.
The Golden Goblin is shocked to suddenly be grabbed by a demon as it did not feel any sort of bloodlust. Adrian did not release any bloodlust because he was not going to kill the Golden Goblin anyway. Adrian made sure to grab the Golden Goblin by the neck in order for it to suffocate a little since it might be able to escape.
"Take the golden sack immediately!" Adrian stated as he tossed the golden sack towards Piggy Bank.
"Cursed humans!" The golden goblin stated which actually shocked Adrian since he did not think that it was able to speak like a normal human being.
"I am a demon. Also, your attempt to escape is basically impossible when I am around. You cannot escape through a wormhole when a being that could control space itself is before you." Adrian stated as he looked at the golden goblin menacingly.
"You are here to kill me! I already knew that other beings are envious of my golden skin!" The golden goblin stated as it suddenly struck poses as if it was modeling its golden skin.
Adrian and Piggy Bank was speechless upon learning this fact that the Golden Goblins think that they are above everyone else because of their golden tint. They are actually also ostracized by their own kind as goblins born with the golden skin are usually exiled from their hideouts. The goblins believed that goblins born with the golden skin are cursed since they are said to attract trouble.
It was only Adrian that knows why some goblins were able to mutate into golden goblins upon birth. It is said that that goblins back then were the devoted followers of a god of space. Seeing that they would offer anything to their god even though they were poor, the god of space took pity and gave a blessing to a goblin. This goblin would then have golden skin and the ability to jump through space.
The Golden Goblin was then able to traverse through places and get treasures where he would then sell to other beings. The Golden Goblin has become the savior of the goblin race as they gave them riches. Still, the greed of other beings could not be contained as time passed where the real legend of the golden goblin is lost. Coupled with the disappearance of the gods of space made it even more difficult for them.
As such, the golden goblins were immediately cast out from their tribes when one is born. If not for the fast maturity of goblins, the golden goblins would not even be in forms that are mature. Adrian did not know why they were told to capture a golden goblin but that thinking is for later.
"We have its golden sack and we captured it. Let us now proceed to clear this dungeon. All of you, wreak havoc! Also, do not forget to get all the drops along the way." Adrian stated as he activated Limit Break: Summoner to summon all of his soulbounds.
The golden goblin thought of escaping but suddenly found itself embedded on the roots of Wisteria. It was permanently embedded on the turtle shell with thick roots that can also stab it if it moves a little. Adrian also made sure to seal the space around the Golden Goblin to prevent it from suddenly jumping through space.
"Behave and you will be set free." Adrian stated but the Golden Goblin did not believe him one bit.
The clearing of the dungeon proceeded at an incredibly fast rate as all of Adrian's soulbounds are out. They did destroy some loot as their power would often disintegrate enemies instead of slashing or cutting them. Still, they were not there to loot the entire dungeon but to defeat the boss monster of the dungeon which is the Money Bag.
