nAs soon as the ten minutes were finished, the dungeon spirit didn't bother whether the participants in the spell room learned the spells or not.

nIt directly teleported them to the second level of the Infernal Castle where the survivors of the first level were already teleported.

n

nJust as they were expecting the second level to get started, the dungeon spirit gave them two more minutes of break.

n

"Lucas

"

n

"Young master Lucas

"

nThe moment Lucas appeared in the second level, he heard two familiar female voices; however, he was unable to remember where he heard the voice of the second one.

nAt the same time, two beautiful girls walked in front of Lucas. One had a little concerned look in her eyes and the other one already had tears in her eyes when she looked at Lucas.

n

"Luna

"

nOne of them was Luna whom he helped enter the spell room first.

nDespite seeing Lucas' fights, Luna could not help but worry about him because without him, she would have not died long ago. Moreover, because of him, she was able to learn a new spell.

n

"Li..little Beck

"

nAs for the second girl, Lucas felt she was very familiar and after checking his memories, he found out about her.

n'So, she is the servant and good friend of the old Lucas.'

nLucas was pleasantly surprised to see a weak little girl from the past turn into a top-notch beauty and high-level mage.

n

"Young master remembers me.

"

nBeck was so happy when Lucas called her as tears started rolling down her cheeks.

n

"Of course. How could I forget someone who promised to marry me?

"

nAfter knowing everything about the girl and how the old Lucas used to tease her, he also teased her in order to not raise any suspicions.

n

"Young master, stop teasing me. At that time, I was only 10 years old and I didn't know what I was saying.

"

nBeck's face turned bright red after hearing Lucas' words and tried to defend herself.

n

"Haha

"

nLucas could not help but laugh when he saw Beck and started laughing.

n

"Lucas, who is this?

"

nAt the side, Luna became curious about Lucas' origins when she saw a top-notch beauty call him young master, making her think how powerful Lucas' family was.

nUntil now, even though they spent some time together, they didn't talk much; however, now Luna could not help but get curious.

n

"Luna, she is Beck, my best friend from childhood. Beck, she is Luna, the young mistress of the Honorwolf family in Silverstone stone.

"

nSoon, Lucas introduced both the girls who smiled at each other before Lucas asked Beck,

"Did you come here with your mother? It's been so long since I met her.

"

nLucas knew Beck's mother was one of the five guardians of the Hellmore family and just as powerful as Old man Bernard. So, if she is here, then he would have another powerful protector for his family.

n

"I...I am here alone.

"

nBeck remained silent for a moment before replying to Lucas in a low voice as she continued,

"Mother and the rest of the servants of the family were killed during the expedition and I am the only survivor.

"

nBy the time she finished her words, Beck's initial excitement of meeting Lucas disappeared and was replaced with a sad look on her face.

n'Sigh'

nLucas only sighed as he shook his head thinking, 'Death is everywhere in this world. Even a powerful tier 4 General mage was killed. Looks like I need to become powerful soon.'

nAfter learning about the death of a powerful protector, Lucas felt the urgency in becoming powerful.

n'Go and console her.'

nAt the side, Luna felt a little weird when she saw why Lucas was not moving to console her. So, he whispered to Lucas to console her.

n'Huh? Right.'

nAs though he understood what he had to do, Lucas placed his hand on Beck's head and said,

"You still have me, Evan and the family.

"

nHe didn't know what words he should say in his current situation; however, he said the words that came from the bottom of his heart.

n

"Young master.

"

nAll of a sudden, Beck ran into his embrace and started crying because she was holding them for a while now. All she wanted was a shoulder to cry and when she heard Lucas' consoling words, she let out all her sorrow.

n'Huh?'

nLucas was not expecting that; however, he didn't push her out of his embrace and lightly patted her back.

n.....

nAt the other side of the second level,

n

"Kyle, Tom, did you two learn the spell?

"

nA young man asked the two young men wearing the same robes.

n

"Big brother, I didn't learn the spell.

"

n

"Ten minutes is not enough for a non-affinity spell, brother.

"

nBoth young men shook their heads.

n

"Sigh...even though we three entered the spell rooms, the mages guild was so cunning for not giving the spell scrolls to the participants; instead, they made us learn in the spell rooms with a time limit of 10 minutes which was of course not enough for you two.

"

n

"As for me, I am a Knight and how the hell can I learn a spell?

"

nSpencer, the eldest among the three brothers from the Windrcusher family cursed Masges guild for being so cunning.

nActually, they expected that they would get the scroll and they could be given to the mages in the family. However, they were not allowed to bring the spell scroll out of the spell room.

n

"We need to ask the head of the family head to definitely report this to the adventurer's guild.

"

nThe two mages nodded their heads and agreed to their brother.

nThe same thing was happening with others who entered the spell rooms but were unable to learn the spell either because they were Knights or mages with non-affinity.

n

"Zak, looks like those who entered the spell rooms didn't learn anything...Haha.

"

n

"Judah, we have to change the strategy now. Since we now know that we can't learn the spells since we are knights, let's kill others and collect their valuables.

"

nThe two surviving participants of the Grayeye family were happy when they got to know how cunning the Mages guild were and those who entered the spell rooms didn't learn anything.

nSo, they decided to change their strategy.

nNot only the Grayeye family, but all the participants changed their strategy.

n< the Second level is all about killing the number of evil spirit beasts>

nSoon, the dungeon spirit's voice resounded in the huge hall.

n

n

n

nSoon, the dungeon spirit explained the rules of the second level of the infernal castle and stopped speaking.

nJust as the dungeon spirit's voice disappeared, a two-meter wide portal appeared on one of the walls.
