Chapter 1502 Abel Chase

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 10:12

Location- A-rank Dual Gate Dungeon.

After safely storing the tadpoles of the Frog Devil Ada stepped foot into the Dual Gate Dungeon. 

Before the mission, the central government had no idea what kind of dungeon the A-rank Dual Gate Dungeon Connecting the Western Capital to the Southern Capital was. Neither did they care to figure it out. So Ada had no idea what she would be stepping into. 

Walking into the dungeon Ada was greeted by a blinding light show she had no choice but to close her eyes for a second. And when she opened her eyes to a metropolitan city. 

Yes, there was a freaking metropolitan city inside the dual gate dungeon. 

"I take it you are the card apprentice from the central government who is going to test-run the dungeon security," A masculine male voice suddenly sounded alerting Ada. 

Ada inmeditalty searched for the source of the voice to find a hunky male with nasty scars on his face wearing a white lab coat. He appeared to be in the card lord realm and emitted a calming ambiance despite his appearance. 

Seeing the alerted look on Ada's face he introduced himself to her, "Hi, I am Abel Chase. The elected City Lord of the dungeon metropolis, acknowledged by both Western and Southern royalty." 

"What?" Ada asked in confusion. She did not hear a word the man just spoke as he was lost in his calming ambiance. It has been a while since she had been in such a company. 

Ada knew she was on enemy grounds and she should not be feeling as such but she had no control over her heart and emotions. Even her brain said, if she has such a feeling in the enemy ground then could this place even be considered as an enemy ground? And what does it say about her Master and fellow teammate who never gave her such a feeling? Was she even walking the right path? 

"Let me reintroduce myself, …" Abel Chase reintroduced himself to Ada patiently.

"How can there be a functioning metropolitan city in a dungeon?" Ada asked Abel, unable to understand why there was a metropolitan city in the dungeon. 

"We built it," Abel replied. 

"You built it, but it hasn't even been a week since the dungeon was found. What about the dungeon refresh? Won't the whole city be erased when that happens?" Ada had thousands of questions running through her mind and she did not hesitate to ask them to Abel forgetting that he was her enemy. For some reason the presence of Abel made her feel safe and let her guard down. 

"About two hundred and fifty thousand card apprentices worked around the clock to make this happen. This city is the product of their blood and of course not to forget the funding and resources provided by the Southern and Western royal families. 

As for the dungeon refresh, both dungeon cores of this dual gate dungeon have been modified with the latest Soul energy generators. Together they generate enough refined soul energy to power a city ten times this one. However, the extra soul energy powers act as a standby power source for the city's defense system so it all works out. So, you do not have to worry about dungeon reset. I think you should take a look at

If you want I can give you a tour of the city before you start the test run. The shopping district and food court are the main attractions of the city," Abel briefly explained about the city to Ada and offered to show her around the city. 

"..." Ada was taken aback by Abel's offer and she did not understand the 'Dungeon security Test Run' he kept talking about. 

"Right now the shopping district and food court are only being used by the staff so it has limited attractions to offer but it is peaceful, however, once the city opens to the general public it will be busy," Abel said, seeing Ada hesitate to accept his offer to take a tour of the city. 

"... I will take the city tour," Ada after a lot of hesitation. She was here to destroy the dual gate dungeon and she could do it after taking the city tour. 

"Great," Abel cheered with a gentle smile, then summoning a grey-colored chariot he added, "Hope on." 

Ada was mesmerized by Abel's smile and unconsciously claimed the chariot. Seeing her seated, Abel asked, "By the way what should I call you?" 

"Ada, Ada Davis," Ada shyly answered.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Davis." ????????.???

"Don't, Ada is fine." 

"Okay then, you too will have to call me Abel then." 

"Sure, Abel." 

When the chariot gained enough longitude, Ada saw two enormous Platinum pyramids surrounded by a lush forest and then tall buildings. 

Following Ada's gaze, Abel flew the Chariot toward the nearest pyramids and introduced their purpose to her, "they are the modified soul energy generator. The pyramid you see is just the outer sh.e.l.l made using refined SS-rank petrifying Platinum. 

Thanks to that sh.e.l.l, not even SSS-rank attacks can get through to the modified dungeon cores they are protecting underneath them. All forms of energy that come in contact with petrifying platinum lose their magnitude as if they were petrified. 

Ada, you sure have your work cut out for the dungeon defense test run. If you don't mind me asking what have you planned for the test run? Anything short of SS-rank Skills or Items will not be able to leave a dent in this city as the whole city is made using refined S-grad ingredients." 

"I have prepared some SSS-rank items. But from the looks of it seems my preparation is not enough," Ada answered with a grim face, realizing that the SSS-rank items that her team leader Arnas and teammates gave her by sacrificing one of the item card slots of their grimoire were useless. 

The items Ada had on her could at most destroy a few buildings but not the dungeon cores were very modified and protected by huge pyramid sh.e.l.ls made of SS-rank petrifying Platinum. Depressed, she muttered, "It seems both royal families have heavily invested in the development and protection of the dual gate dungeon?"
