Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 290 Inside The Vaults

After Yunan managed to calm the hyper active kids in everyone, they took a few minutes to rest before heading towards the next target. Debauchery was able to fight 5 large monsters by lunch time, they even managed to get their hands on some eggs that were as big as a person, they decided to go back to the 80th floor to look for the vaults they were able to extract from memory, instead of risking the parent of the eggs to hunt them down.

Yunan had just had enough experience in the ways of battle and the huge disparity between monsters of the same biome and monster from different biomes, one battle was monotonous and can be planned to perfection, sticking to one plan was the best course of action. The other type of battle was dynamic and ever changing, following one plan was the worst thing to do, one had to evolve his plan with each situation, sometimes with each step taken, that was why mental prowess was much needed, and even a party like Debauchery were struggling to get by at first because they lacked just a small amount, someone like Yunan who was on his own would need to train his mental capacity and capabilities to the sharpest point he was capable of beforehand.

Since battle was no longer needed, Yunan decided to focus the rest of his time in the 80th floor on creating a faction, Debauchery has only arrived in the 80s only recently and did not meet enough people to get in touch with factions, this was a great deficiency that needed to be covered before Debauchery upgraded to the 89th floor, reaching that far without a faction was something akin to going blind into a den of wolves.

Fortunately he has sixteen captives with enough knowledge about factions, two of them were probably the survivors of an annihilated faction. Yunan was able to know about the existence of warring factions from different clues, the most important being the absence of a guild post in the 80th floor even though it was a safe haven. This means that the guild risked something with the establishment of a guild post, most likely the trust from different factions. The guild had the ability to call on all adventurers to protect the outside world, and being in a stand off against the most powerful factions was not the best way to make sure they would answer when called to action.

With that in mind, if the guild, who is the greatest faction in Tartarus happened to establish a faction in the 80th floor, they would hog all the talents and before long absorb all other factions, simply because no one in their right mind would go against a faction of that magnitude. But if the guild left those talented, strong and capable adventurers to join different factions, fight and keep their own number in check, that would help the guild very much, after all with a natural life span of multiple millennia there is bound to be a great number of adventurers stuck in the 80s because numbers alone did not help advancement. Thus having factions reduce the useless old population who has no future and bo ability to advance further and replace them with capable adventurers was the best possible scenario.

And after reaching the 90s, mist adventurers would leave these factions effectively keeping the factions fairly limited in power, the mighty ones who reach the 90th floor usually either retire, die or start providing their services for the guild, because in the 90s it was impossible to team up without risking the death of the whole party, therefore Yunan did not feel anything between the mighty ones that were invited to his wedding. All in all the guild would allow the factions of the 80s nurture capable adventurers and help them advance to the 90s where they do not become a threat to other adventurers, they focus on something and advance it to near perfection, ultimately becoming key members for the guild once more.

That was a trade the established factions were fine with, most of these factions were created to protect against the bitter older factions stuck without the ability to reach further, therefore most factions just avoided each other and were friendly, but some were aggressive, and these ones were the real threat, still the aggressive factions could only attack small groups and ambush those naïve ones, it may happen that two factions would clash, when these wars occurred there was at least one faction that was annihilated and absorbed by the rest of the factions.

Arriving at the vaults brought great joy to Dustan, the wealth here was really something, most of the materials were sent to the private dimension to be integrated into the system, as for the items they were all sent to the guild to sell and trade. Yunan was examining the contents of some storage ring when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Lucian was standing behind him with a smile "remember when i promised we get you a magic book about memory magic? consider my promise fulfilled". Lucian opened his hand to show a few rings in his palm "take them, you will like what is inside".

Yunan gave Lucian a bear hug before he took the rings to a corner and started taking out the shelves full of books, all of them were golden books, and all of them were things Yunan did not even think he needed, he started by absorbing the ones dealing with memory magic, t.i.tles like "editing memory", "memory extraction", "true memory and false memory", " remote memory searching" and many others that dealt with the art of memory manipulation.

Among the books were other things like "precision and finesse", "mental efficiency", "detecting the hidden", "hiding from detection", "toxicology and biological warfare", "pathogens and war", "life and death by neurology". Many of these were books that dealt with obscure knowledge that was most useful in the pre-mana era, things that were extremely useful for Yunan especially with his style of fighting. These books must have been worthless to the factions because if an embezzling b.a.s.t.a.r.d was able to horde them, it meant he knew their worth and pretended to sell them as useless junk, as to why the guy did not learn them, it must have been about leaving them behind for someone else, that or the existence of partners, because it was hard to believe only one person could have ama.s.sed this much alone, this was probably the fortune stolen over generations from the different factions, someone was trying to create their own faction.
