"Unranked Dungeons?" "Have they gone mad?" Wyatt and Field Marshal had different reactions to the information revealed by Henricks. Maybe, if Wyatt knew what unranked dungeons were he too would have had the same reaction as Field Marshal Heatsend. The Field Marshal regaining her composure, explained to Wyatt, "Unranked Dungeons can be considered as dungeons ranked above SSS-rank Dungeons. If not for the world"s will monitoring these dungeons there would be no five regions or empire to begin with.
Just like how the World"s Will suppresses the demons and devils, it also suppresses the monsters from the unranked dungeon in case of a dungeon break. If not for that suppression dampening their power level, it would be hard even for me to kill those monsters. Our ancestors who tried to raid the dungeon had a very hard time making it out alive. The monsters in them were just too strong even for them making it impossible to clear these dungeons. Since no one could clear these dungeons, dungeon breaks began to take place frequently. Even though these monsters were suppressed by the World"s Will they were still stronger than regular demiG.o.ds making every unranked dungeon break a disaster for card apprentices. Therefore, our ancestors decided to seal these dungeons such that dungeon breaks would not be possible. Many scholars have wondered why the world"s will treated the unranked dungeons differently compared to other ranked dungeons, our ancestors believed it was because these unranked dungeons were too strong for the world"s realm ceiling i.e. they were stronger than the demiG.o.ds just like how the devils were too strong for them. Hence, the monsters from these dungeons face the world"s suppression when they leave the dungeon. Except for the unranked dungeons in the Way Beyond all the unranked dungeons in the five regions and empire have been sealed by our ancestors, and in case of new unranked dungeon appearances, the government and the royal families would come together to use dungeon sealing method we inherited from our ancestors to seal them for good." "How do these seals work? Is it even possible to seal an active dungeon?" Wyatt asked, finding the existence of unranked dungeons baffling. Unranked dungeon, a dungeon so strong that even the strongest of the demiG.o.ds were helpless against it and had no choice but to seal it.
"It is possible, our ancestors have designed an array formation which shippons energy from the dungeon to seal it. Therefore, the stronger the dungeon the stronger the seal. So far none of the unranked dungeon seals have broken, so that is enough to prove that the seal our ancestor designed is effective enough," the Field Marshal proudly said but then, she frowned complaining, "I never thought that Masters would one day become foolish enough to undo our ancestor"s hard work and put the rest of us in danger." "Put the rest of us in danger?" Corey asked not understanding how they would be in danger. Even if the Masters failed to explore the unranked dungeon with their undead legion, they still had the World"s will on their side and the seal array formation to seal the unranked dungeon so she did not understand how they would be in danger. "The last unranked dungeon to be sealed was seven centuries ago, there is no telling what has transpired in the dungeon in the last seven centuries. Many have agreed with the theory called dungeon mutation. It claims that the sealed unranked dungeon or the monsters within it would undergo mutation after a certain sealing period. To prove this theory, they sealed an A-rank dungeon for a century, when they removed the seal on the dungeon they found that the dungeon was on the verge of mutating into an SS-rank dungeon. Therefore, there is no telling what happened to the sealed unranked dungeons that have been sealed for multiple centuries. In case, the masters fail and a dungeon break happens, it would be a disaster unlike any other," the Field Marshal gravely explained the grim consequences of the Master"s foolishness. Wyatt too felt that the Masters were being foolish but he believed there had to be a good reason why they were willing to take so much regarding this one, when they all lived a life of cowards so far. The only reason the Masters were able to outlive the other founders from the original group of founders of the five regions was that they remained hidden from trouble and used Founder Norley"s secret method to lead a prosperous and long lifespan. Not because they were the strongest among the founders. For such cowards to let go of all caution and pursue something that could prove their end, meant that they stood to gain something from it that even someone as cowardly as them could not help but covet at the risk of their life. Wyatt was now starting to doubt if these unranked dungeons held some kind of secret that the rest of them did not know. He would not be surprised if that were truly the case as it was not the first time these people have hoodwinked the ma.s.ses to monopolize the good things for themselves. But he could not figure out what could it be that the masters not only sought but were willing to risk their lives along everything they built so far. "Secret To Trancendance." As these three words appeared in Wyatt"s mind it became clear to him why the masters were doing what they were doing. However, Wyatt still felt that he was far from the truth. If these dungeons held secrets to transcendence then the original founders of the five regions would never have decided to seal these dungeons instead risked their lives to explore these dungeons regardless of the cost. Therefore, he believed he was missing something important here causing him to wreck his brain trying to figure out the Masters" gameplan here.
