Wain stared in wonder at the well that had appeared. He didn't know what it was, but he vaguely guessed.

"Could it be the large accumulation of Soul Essence that caused the Dungeon to appear?" Wain muttered.

Sven had told him that Dungeon could appear because of a Soul Essence cluster in one place. This blue and mighty lightning was the catalyst that caused this well to appear.

Wain immediately headed there. The slope was high and straight, but Wain stuck his sword into the wall and thus slowly descended.

He did not wait long as this well was perfect for him.

"This well came from a lightning strike during the night. That means there may be monsters with the lightning attribute and the darkness attribute there. Perhaps because of the territorial position, there will also be monsters with the attribute of water." Mumbled Wain.

A massive crab immediately emerged from the sand when he stepped onto the beach. It was very similar to the one Wain had met when he first arrived at Overion.

Wain didn't pay much attention to this monster. He swung his arm, and the plasma sword sliced the crab in two. The white soul flew into Wain's body, and he immediately crushed it.

Then when Wain took a few more steps and approached the well, he saw a dark fog and the corresponding message, just like the last time.

[You have entered in the area of Dungeon - Muddy Waters]

'When in the store, in front of me appeared the crypt, the scout ants immediately ran out of it, but this time the monsters seem to be in no hurry to come out.' Wain thought.

The entrance to the Dungeon was a few dozen yards from the shore, so Wain had to get wet and swim some distance. Then he sprawled out and jumped into the muddy water in the well.

Wain expected a lot from this Dungeon. In this place, he could get a large amount of Soul Essence and get the souls he needed.

In the new world, much also depended on luck and how fast one could make decisions. If a man wanted to progress quickly, he had to react instantly to any opportunities that arose.

Wain could bide his time, assess the situation, and see if everything was all right with this well, but in that case, he would lose a lot of time. 

Moreover, since he was the first to see this Dungeon, he had to be the first to enter it.

A few seconds later, Wain found himself inside the Dungeon. Unlike the ant caves, this place looked very different. It looked more like a massive temple hiding under water.

All around him, Wain saw various statues and decorations. Moreover, the rooms were of familiar human forms.

'Do some anthropomorphic creatures inhabit here?' Thought Wain, cautiously walking forward.

Last time he encountered monsters almost immediately, but he saw no one in front of him. However, Wain was in the entrance hall. It was a massive and spacious room. He had to go further and find the monsters.

"Darkness, lightning, water..." Mumbled Wain, "There might be trouble with the latter. It will be a nuisance if I get a soul with the attribute of lightning, but that soul will also have water. That could ruin everything, and I wouldn't be able to improve the skill."

As Wain walked to the next room, he pondered about souls and possible interaction with them, 'I wonder if there is a craft soul that can somehow change souls or separate them? Most likely, the former is impossible, but the latter is quite doable.'

After a while, Wain saw his first opponents, but in fact, they were the ones already waiting for him. They were anthropomorphic creatures similar to the aquatic race. They had scales, gills in the neck area, flippers, and teeth like a shark.

But, their weapons were not their teeth. They were armed with long spears with sharp tips. There were seven of them in all.

"Are those the Merfolk? At least they look very similar, well okay, they shouldn't pose a threat to me." Said Wain and snapped his finger.

A plasma sword appeared beside him, and like black lightning, it flew toward the monsters. The sword was swift, but the monsters did not let themselves be wounded. They bounced to the sides in sync and simultaneously threw their spears at Wain.

Wain didn't expect them to work so cohesively, like a real team. This synchronized attack surprised him, but he was fast enough to dodge it. He bounced to the side at the last moment, and seven lances stabbed into the same spot.

The monsters were sure their attack would reach Wain, so they quickly headed to pick up their weapons after failing. 

However, Wain was not about to let them do that. He swung his arm, and the plasma sword shattered the spears into pieces in a second. Now, these scraps couldn't be called weapons.

"They work well as a team, but they have problems with intelligence. However, they were just too confident in their reception." Mumbled Wain and attacked the monsters.

He aimed his plasma sword at one of the monsters while turning into blue lightning and instantly got to one of his enemies.

Turning around, Wain kicked one monster in the head. His blow was so powerful that the monster's head flew off its shoulders and slammed into the wall like a projectile.

Wain's strength was at a high level that only a few people could reach by this point.

The monsters didn't expect Wain to be able to kill any of them with a single move. Wain's strength instilled fear and terror in them, but they had no right to retreat. 

They attacked Wain furiously, but the bodies of three of them were cut open by the plasma sword in a second.

The other three, Wain attacked them hand-to-hand. One he hit with a powerful palm strike to the chest. Given Wain's physical strength, he used this move to shatter the enemy's chest.

He then dodged the second monster's attack, grabbed it by the arm, and thundered it to the ground. Wain delivered a powerful punch with his fist, and the monster's head was crushed. 

The last monster tried to claw at Wain with its powerful jaws, but Wain prevented it from doing so. 

He grabbed the monster's head at the last moment and drove it into the floor with all his might. The monster's skull began to crack and bleed internally with such a mighty blow.

Then seven white souls flew into Wain's body.

[Soul of Merfolk Warrior (Destroyed)

Chronicle: Primary

Rating: Common]

Wain immediately crushed these souls.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Merfolk Warrior level 13.]

"They had level thirteen? That's impressive, they weren't particularly strong, but that's from my perspective. In fact their attacks were dangerous, and their actions were quick and right. Most people coming here would have been killed." Wain muttered.

The higher the monster's level was, the more Wain would get Soul Essence after using its soul.

To Wain's surprise, he got something else besides Soul Essence. 

[You get Common Rating Spiritual Box]

Wain smiled and immediately opened the box. He was curious to see what expendable item he would get this time.

It turned out to be a small scroll again, with various symbols written on it, incomprehensible to Wain.

[Skill Scroll - Water Spear Squall (Primary Chronicle, Common Rating)

Using this scroll creates multiple water spears that rain down on a single area. You can only use this scroll once, after which it will burn]

"Plain and simple," Wain muttered and moved the skill scroll to the Ring of Damned.

The item he received was not unique or rare, but he could use this scroll to destroy his enemies.

...

For the next hour, Wain moved around the temple fighting Merfolks. These monsters were in almost every room, and most of them were ready for Wain.

Despite their preparation, however, they were unable to bridge the huge power gap in this way. Wain had no problem killing each of them while collecting Soul Essence.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Merfolk Warrior level 13.]

Wain crushed another soul and smiled the next moment contentedly.

[You have leveled up to level 13. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]
