While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Adam instinctively closed his eyes for an instant, since the bright light released by the four stones was blinding, but he still had his spiritual sense activated and had withdrawn his daggers, ready to be attacked at any moment.

As soon as he felt the light begin to subside, he opened his eyes and felt relieved to see that nothing had appeared around him and he didn't seem to be in any imminent danger.

The light being emitted by the stones had been reduced, but there were still glowing and it was almost as though there was a faint magnetic connection that was drawing them towards the rock wall at the end of the tunnel.

He found it weird since it was merely a rock wall and using his spiritual sense, he couldn't sense anything in it or behind it that seemed valuable, but since the unusual stones were attracted to it, he began punching away at the rock wall.

Adam's knuckles were red, bruised and bled slightly, but considering the force and power that he was punching the rock wall at, along with how hard the rock wall was, it was nothing.

He continued smashing apart the rock wall until he suddenly struck something and hurt his fist massively.

It was the same wall as those of the castle and it was unusual to find it so far underground, unless there was something hidden underground.

Smashing away the rest of the rock. Adam found a large wall that was identical to the ones that he found around the castle and on that wall, there was a circular object embedded into it that had space for four stones.

The space was identical to that of the stones that Adam had found in each of the Goblin King's towers and Adam wasn't able to sense the presence of that wall, because it blocked his spiritual sense and made him believe that he couldn't see any further past the rock wall.

Adam didn't have time to stop and recover and he had struck the wall before him with most of his power, and yet he didn't even crack it in the slightest and hurt his right wrist quite badly.

That confirmed to him that breaking out of the castle wouldn't be possible and he took a moment to mostly recover his wrist before placing the four stones in the wall.

The closer the stones got to the wall, the more they glowed and as soon as he pushed them into their places, they shone brightly once again and the entire tunnel that he was in began to shake.

At first, Adam thought it was a trap and maybe everything above him was about to collapse, which would crush him and most likely kill him, but the shaking seemed to be caused by movements in the castle and some sort of underground structure.

After confirming that there wasn't any danger, Adam a few metres away from the wall that he had placed the stones in and waited for the shaking to stop.

It took a while, but once the shaking stopped, Adam found that his spiritual sense was once again being blocked off, and the wall that he had placed the stones in began to move.

Sinking underground, the wall acted as a door and revealed a giant underground structure that was formed out of the same material as that of the castle.

There were long concrete tunnels and it was like a maze, but they all seemed to end up in the same location.

Adam walked around and remembered all the different routes and paths so that he could escape through them, then he went towards the centre of the underground structure that all the tunnels led to.

He found a giant dimly lit hall that had nothing inside apart from a large throne.

On that throne sat a small, shrivelled up goblin that appeared to be very old, and yet its eyes made Adam believe that it was a dangerous creature that he shouldn't underestimate.

He didn't attack straight away and kept his distance while observing the room and looking for any traps, while also observing the figure on the stone that wore luxurious clothing.

It wasn't armed, appeared to be very weak and other than the three rings that it had on its right hand, nothing about it or the hall seemed dangerous or capable.

And yet its yellow eyes that were glaring at Adam intimidating him and made him feel wary about the seemingly old, weak goblin beast.

"You are a mere disgusting human, and yet you were able to eliminate the four Goblin Kings, my children"

"You disgusting human dared to seek me out and awaken me from my eternal slumber using the gems I left behind for my children"

"You disgusting human is seeking death and I will give you what you are looking for"

Adam was shocked by the fact that he was able to understand the old goblin beast and it spoke in a slow and unusual manner, but was still being understood by him.

He was unsure whether he was somehow able to understand the language of the Goblin Beast, which he wasn't able to do previously, or whether the Old Goblin Beast before him was able to speak English, but either way, it was an incredible thing.

Adam had never been able to communicate with beasts in the dungeon before and that made it so that what he could expect from dungeons in the future very interesting.

With beasts becoming more and more smart and able to communicate and understand each other, it would become increasingly difficult for Adam as the hunter to take them down.

He didn't know whether to attack or wait for the old goblin beast to continue speaking, but he suddenly felt a pressure bear over him that was even more powerful than that of the gravity chamber.

"Just what the hell is this" exclaimed Adam as he was forced to his knees.
