Valerian and his team had just finished clearing the ninety-ninth floor and saw a door appear in the distance. Ever since they entered the seventy-first floor, the door to the next floor will appear like this. They were not surprised but very cautious about what might lay behind this one.

Just now, they have finished dealing with a spider that could shapeshift. They almost died in the battle because they all hesitated in their actions. They had to come up with codes to make sure that the creature was a villain. It took them three months to clear the level.

Even after his chariots, Valerian and his team took years to get to the bottom of this. The four people inched towards the gateway, and after crossing the threshold, they found that the place was a white void. It appeared endless, without any special feature to it.

When they were confused, an ethereal voice sounded, "Welcome, champions."

Surprised, Shiba asked, "Who are you? Show yourself, and why are you calling us the champions? We have not yet dealt with the creature held on this level."

The voice replied, "I am a spirit that watches over the champions. I am afraid I cannot materialize for you, but the reason I call you the Champions is clear. You all have cleared the dungeon of the high gods. As for the creature of this floor, you do not have to deal with it because the creature of this floor does not exist anymore."

Valerian said, "Explain."

The voice replied, "The last champions lost two comrades, and in return, they wished for the creature never to spawn again and be vanquished from this world. Since then, this floor has been empty."

The four people were surprised by such words, and Valerian asked, "So, what now?"

"Now, the dungeon will enter the bliss mode, none of the people will die for the next ten years, and the dungeon will spawn endless monsters for them to hunt." replied the spirit.

Valerian took a deep breath and asked, "Is it true that those who clear the hundredth floor will get a wish?"

The voice replied, "Yes, each member who manages to come here alive after clearing the dungeon will get a wish."

Valerian nodded, and suddenly a bell sounded. The voice asked, "What do you wish for?"

Valerian questioned, "What can we ask?"

The voice replied, "You can ask for anything except resurrecting the dead, making someone fall in love, or killing someone."

Shiba asked, "Can we think about what we should wish for?"

The spirit replied, "You can take one hour to discuss."

The team nodded, and they all stood together, thinking. Valerian said, "We all know what I want, so that is off the list. What about you all? What do you want?"

Viney said, "I have nobody to care for me. You all know Grandma passed away before I came to the city too. So, I wonder if I can go with Valerian?"

Shiba smiled and said, "I also have that intention."

Captain scratched his head and said, "I also have this thought, but I still have maa and paa to look after. So, I am not sure what to do."

Valerian thought and said, "We can do this. Let me wish for the four of us to go to Vita. Shiba can transform the bugle into a treasure that can open gateways to both worlds so that Captain can take his parents with him, or if they want to stay here, he will still have the power to return.

Viney can ask for a compiled book with all the do’s and don’ts one should know in the dungeon and have it appear to the guild. Captain, you can wish for the longevity of his parents. What do you think?"

The trio thought, and they agreed. Shiba was the first to ask, "I wish for this bugle to transform into a treasure that can open gateways between the two worlds, Vita and Avarium, as I command."

The spirit sounded, "So be it."

The bugle shined with a strong glow and levitated in the void before it turned into a disc. The spirit replied, "This treasure can allow you, and only you, to open the door between the two worlds, and only two people can pass through the gate at a time."

Shiba received the disc in her hand and found it intricately engraved with patterns. Viney stepped up and said, "I wish for a book that covers all the things that a person should do and don’t do inside the dungeon, along with the complete set of books that record the weaknesses of every creature in the hundred floors of the dungeon, with illustrations, have these books change and update with the times as the creatures evolve, and be indestructible. Then have all these books placed in the Dungeoneer guild."

The spirit replied, "So be it."

A loud sound of fluttering echoed in the place, and then pages appeared in the surroundings. The people were surprised, but soon these pages gathered together and became books. Floors classified the books, and even the mutations were recorded. Valerian counted and found that there were hundred and one books in total.

After the books appeared, they soon vanished from the void. They all could guess that these books appeared in the guild building. Captain stepped forward and said, "I wish my parents lived longer and healthier."

The spirit replied, "So be it."

Valerian stepped up and, with a deep breath, said, "I wish that the four of us are sent to the Lumen Empire on Vita."

The voice sounded, "So be it."

The four shined with a golden halo and then vanished from the spot.

...

Fragrantia was looking at some scrolls and talking to Azula. Suddenly, she looked up at her daughter and asked, "Azu, what happened?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The princess replied faintly, "If Val were here, he would have known how to deal with this mess."

Fragrantia nodded and said, "Do not worry. Let us wait. I am sure he will return one day."

Azula hummed and wanted to say something when the door was knocked. Fragrantia said, "Who is it?"

The guard replied, "Your Excellency, Princess Vali is here."

Fragrantia smiled and said, "How many times do I have to tell you not to stop her, Ensis?"

The door was pushed open, and Vali entered the study room in a rather simple dress. She had an anxious expression on her face. Azula stood up and asked the young girl, "Vali, what happened?"

Valerie sighed and said, "Elder sister, Saintess, she is seriously ill. Her aide contacted me, asking me to come and see her. They do not know when she might leave the world."

Azula was surprised, and Fragrantia sighed. She said, "Vali, you prepare right away. We will go along with you."

The young lady nodded and left to pack for the journey. Although the dragon queen has returned to the dragon kingdom, the temple of mercy and dragon temple has been re-established, allowing the people to move through the teleportation magic spells.

Four lights flashed in the sky when the people were rushing to pack things and set off. Valerian appeared above the clouds with Shiba, Viney, and Captain. They were still dressed in the armor from the dungeon. Shiba and the two took a few moments to regain their senses, and screams echoed in the sky when they did.

However, none could hear. Viney screamed at the top of her lungs, "Valerian, help!"

The young man did not say anything, and he kept falling. At this moment, his body was drinking mana and battle aura in the surroundings. He was intoxicated by this feeling of power filling the core of his body.

Shiba screamed, "I would have never come here if I knew we would die like this?"

Just then, she felt something tied around her waist. She looked below and found a vine tied to her waist, which was tied around Captain and Viney’s waist. Then she saw a sight that she would never forget in her life.

Shiny blue wings appeared behind Valerian’s back, and he flapped them. The descent ended, and the three people flew into the void tied to the vines. Valerian laughed and said, "You should look at your faces."

However, an obscure sound came out of his mouth instead of his voice. The young man stopped talking and the three people were even more surprised. They could not believe that whatever Valerian told them was coming true. Valerian raised his head and found that he was outside the city limits.

...

As he approached the city, he sensed something and he stopped. He lowered the vines and let the three people get down on the ground. Shiba and the two did not understand why he stopped in mid-air.

However, the next moment, they were shocked to the core of their beings. A loud roar echoed in the surroundings, and Valerian let out a roar of his own.

...

Fragrantia was talking to Libra when a roar echoed. She froze for a second and shivered as she said, "He has returned."
