Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 311 Finally some information

The 51st floor felt a little bit too late to learn spell merging for Yunan, but then he remembered how the floors were arranged, he understood that this place was like a last chance for those who never tried to combine magics and skills before. Fairly late but any later and it would become a challenge to learn these skills, mainly because how inflexible the adventurers can become without prior experience with combination attacks. It was the same for the pets Yunan had with him, although they were able to use multiple spells and skills at the same time, they never tried to use a spell to enhance another or make something happen that requires multiple spells to merge into one. Yunan himself was not good with merging spells and was better at merging skills as well as merging skills and spells.

It was a rare chance for Yunan to gain insight on his own, therefore he worked with his party to learn, study and perfect the field of merging spells. Multi-casting was a no brainer if one wanted to reach this floor, one spell being executed and the other being prepared was the minimum limit, the lowest of the acceptable low, still, our Valyrians were good at casting many spells with minimal chanting and sometimes they could forgo it, thus casting multiple spells at the same time was not hard to achieve, Yunan set a minimum limit of 5 spells cast at the same time to clear the beginner level, he declared that they must be able to merge at least two different attribute spells, creating a spell stronger than both, otherwise they would not be allowed to fight the boss.

It took a total of 7 long months for the new Valyrians to finish mapping the floor and have every member able to cast 5 spells at the same time and merge at least two of them. During those 7 months Yunan finally got the name and address of the faction that sent the avenger duo after some serious torture, and thanks to his membership rings he found the faction and their plans. This faction has been sneaking past the guild and recruiting promising adventurers from the moment they crossed the threshold of the 20th floor. Most of those were people without organisation to lead them or their organisations stopped at the 19th floor for some reason.

What Yunan found most unfortunate was the fact that there were some traitors in the government of the Pearl kingdom, they were the ones who leaked Yunan's Identity as the eldritch monster, as well as how to evade the clutches of the underground government when infiltrating the Pearl. Shockingly the traitors were aiming for the wealth brought by the Pearl kingdom before Yunan bought it, now that the guild was no longer the custodial authority, the Pearl kingdom can be invaded and its regime changed due to annexing, it was then the assassin was sent in order to antagonize the government and start a rampaging tantrum, by the time Yunan returned from the dungeon it would be too late and all the defence of the kingdom is destroyed, next, when the neighbors started invading the guild would stop Yunan from fighting, there is no way the guild allowed someone in the 50s to fight a bunch of commoners with swords and pikes. They did not believe that Yunan was able to arrive at the Pearl in such short notice and that he would just return in time for their plan.

That was nothing to Yunan who could just remove the moles and any other intruders from the Pearl, all thanks to the membership rings, the problem was that the faction sent a level 60 fighter to take the man down and restart the plan with the level 40 braggart, however the fact that both were missing again was very problematic for the faction. They had severely underestimated Yunan and based on how Debauchery did things they were expecting a call from Debauchery any time now, probably after they finish making the two people suffer endlessly.

With this grave news Yunan started working with Balin on the two projects he promised them, a floating battle fortress and giant battle mechs, additionally Yunan sent the level 60 fighter back outside to his faction, he twisted the memories of the man to make things a bit challenging for the faction. Yunan made it so that when someone read the memories of the fighter they would find out the secret that Yunan was an awakened monster not a human like he looks, and Debauchery knew fully well, the torture in the memories would give anyone nightmares, lastly, he changed the ability to take away someone's accumulated power from the dungeon from the ability of the torture dungeon to an ability Yunan himself had.

Thus when the level 60 fighter returned and started spouting nonsensical statements, the faction would use memory magic to confirm, with the idea that memory manipulation is impossible to hide, and when the leaders of the faction witness the absolute horror Yunan is capable of, as well as the abilities he showed, they would hunker down and sell that information, effectively making Yunan a hot topic as well as a no touch target. It would be bad if he had the ability to permanently erase all the progress gained from the dungeon, even suppressing it was too much for the factions that relied on that power.

The news were almost immediately spread to every faction in the 80s and even beyond that, since there were people from the 90s coming up to trade for the seemingly unmatched resources the trading outpost had, especially for the pure metal pearls, the enchanted pearls and rare herbs, since the guild was the only supplier for two of those three things, the trading outpost become a hot spot because those in the lower floors preferred to barter instead of using gold, many of these mighty ones immediately asked for proof about Yunan being an awakened as well as his impossible ability, sadly, the memories were deemed faulty because no level 60 fighter could survive 7 months of the terror present in the memories.
