Dungeon of Pride, Laplace-Chapter 15:- Elixir of Enticement (2)

He opened the [Shop] option from his [Main Menu] and after browsing through the items, he finally found what he was looking for. Currently, he had a little over 90,000 DP after deducting the amount he spent making the 2nd and 3rd floor. He went through the details and quickly bought it.

[3000 DP exchanged]

He was notified of his purchase by the system. After some deliberation, Simon stood up and went out of his dungeon. The sun was hanging high up in the sky, the trees as tall as ever. Beastly roars came from all corners of the forest from time to time. After searching for a while, he finally found the presence of a large group of monsters.

Immediately he darted in their direction and soon after found a large horde of monsters surrounding a cave entrance. Analysis showed the race of the monsters. But Simon did not have to look at the results of the analysis to know which race of monsters they belonged to. This was because he got acquainted with this race the very moment he reincarnated in this world.

In front of him were a pack of Direwolves, they lazed around a large cave which appeared to be their den. This pack easily numbered over seventy. He could see forty to fifty wolves outside and as for the remaining, their presence could be felt from the inside. Right now he was on top of a branch of a tall tree a few distances away which overlooked the entire cave.

“That’s quite a haul I just discovered. Alright, let’s start the operation.”

As soon as his words fell, he manipulated a small amount of manas and started casting flame magic. Weak Flame spears came raining down on the cave, startling and enraging the lazing wolves. Immediately they howled and started searching all around for the intruder. The remaining wolves also came out of the den and joined the rest in searching. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

“Now then let’s start with the next phase of the plan.” He landed on the ground from the tree top making a loud sound in the process. The wolves immediately caught on to the sound and started howling and charging towards him.

Seeing all this a smile crept upon his face, immediately he turned around and started fleeing. The wolves chased him madly, enraged by his actions. Anybody would be mad when their home is destroyed and the culprit fleeing.

To further infuriate them he also cast a few weak fireballs while running. The fireballs smashed onto the ground wounding a few wolves in the process.

“Alright, this should secure their aggro firmly on me.” 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Due to Simon’s actions, he further infuriated them. Their charge continued unabated until finally, they saw a tall spiral tower and the perpetrator going inside through the entrance.

Seeing this they immediately charged towards the entrance and soon a wide winding maze came into view. A pink color substance drifted through the air and as soon as they inhaled some, their eyes lost focus and they started behaving strangely. A pinkish hue could be seen in all of their eyes. All the wolves that charged after followed suit. They started roaming around the maze in a daze.

Simon who was nearby looked at this scene calmly while tossing an empty vial around his hand. This vial was the item that he exchanged for 3,000 DP from the [shop] and right now its effect was on full display.

The item he purchased from the [Shop] was called Elixir of Enticement. It was an item that was quite potent on weak monsters. It had a powerful hallucination effect on monsters making them inactive. Simon created this elixir for new and inexperienced players to quickly gain experience this way.

Before coming out of his dungeon, he altered the position of the floors bringing the second floor above and the first floor down. And after luring the Direwolves inside he emptied the contents of the vial around the maze.

“The elixir should take effect for a whole day. You guys are the first visitors to the maze, enjoy it to your heart’s content.”
