However, even though we could feel the strange mana fluctuations coming from behind us, we didn't rush to head in that direction. Based on the direction that the mana fluctuation was coming from, it wasn't hard to tell where it was coming from. That hall that we gathered in earlier, that was where it was coming from. It seemed that the hall that we chose earlier was actually in the center of the five crystals. But then again, it made sense since that hall was clearly an important place in this castle. It should have been the main hall of the castle and the core of this place. That's why it made sense that the portal would appear there as it was the very center of the castle. But even figuring out all of that, we weren't actually in a rush to reach the portal. The same couldn't be said for those that had been watching us take down the manta rays and the crystal. As soon as they saw that the crystal had been destroyed and the strange mana fluctuation appeared, it seemed like it was a race. There was no hesitation at all as they all started running in the direction that the strange mana fluctuation was coming from. It seemed that all of them wanted to be the first ones that entered the portal. It was just that being the early bird didn't mean that they got the worm in this case. By being the early bird, they would even be turned into the worm themselves as they would be used as bait to see just how strong the final boss of this dungeon was. There was no way of telling what the final boss of this dungeon was, so that was why there was no need to rush. Rushing would actually put us in a worse situation when it came to facing the final boss of this dungeon. It was better to take our time and find out as much as we could about this place and what the boss was. So we just took this chance to take down the manta rays that were charging at us. Once they lost their minds like this, it was actually easier to fight them. Once they lost their minds, they only knew how to fight by charging forward and didn't actually have any of the same strategy as before. So it was easy to bait these manta rays into a trap and take them all down. When the manta rays were all taken down, I went over to the window to take a look at the turtle head. After that roar, that turtle head actually hung down as if it had suddenly lost consciousness and it didn't really seem like it was moving at all. It really seemed like its mind had been taken somewhere else…such as the place where the final boss of the dungeon was. In that case, did it mean that the final boss to face would be the turtle? At the same time, it seemed that most of the manta rays had disappeared from the air. It was unknown where they went, but there wasn't a single one that was flying around anymore. All of this pointed to a hard opponent to face in the special boss room. "Shall we go too?" Leaf suddenly asked as she turned away from the window. She had been beside me, staring out the window as well, but then she suddenly stopped and turned back to head to the door. It seemed that she had already seen enough, which was why she was planning to head to the portal now. Though the way that Leaf walked was almost as if she was taking a stroll through this dungeon instead of heading to a final fight. It really seemed like she didn't have a single care in the world with the way that she acted. Shaking my head with a faint smile, I eventually followed her. As we headed towards the main hall from before, we could see traces of blood along the way. Those traces of blood were clearly from the humans that had been fighting their way to the main hall. It seemed that they had suffered quite a bit to make their way to the main hall with the way that the blood was scattered. Then when we approached the main hall, we could hear the sounds of fighting still. As we came closer, we saw that there were the other top contender teams that were leisurely walking over as well. It didn't seem like any of them had a single worry as they watched the ones in the hall fighting. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire These were the ones that had run away as soon as the crystals were destroyed. They had come to this main hall as soon as the portal appeared since they were racing to be first inside. But it seemed like this backfired on them since they had to fight these manta rays that had been guarding the portal. It didn't even seem like the manta rays came from outside, it seemed that the manta rays came from the portal with the way that look was dropped on the ground. The fighting was so intense that they hadn't even picked up the loot that was there. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, there were some that were missing. It seemed that some of them had gotten to the portal. Even though the portal was right in front of us, none of us actually made a move towards it. Instead, the top contender teams and our team slowly brought out our familiars and our weapons. Instead of charging right for the portal, we actually started attacking the manta rays that were flying around. Once they saw that the manta rays were being taken down, the ones that had been fighting the manta rays ran to the portal without hesitation. They didn't care that we were fighting the manta rays for them. Nor did they think about what powerful boss was waiting for them inside. They had even struggled against the manta rays, what would they do against the boss?
