Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 059: Dungeon Vampire Castle
Natan did not know if this had all been arranged or just a mere coincidence, after Vilbert was killed, in just a short time there was already a notification about the Vampire Castle Dungeon that was not far from his current place.
It was about 50 kilometers away, and it only took three minutes at the latest to arrive.
Fortunately, Dungeon Vampire Castle opens in the morning, at 08:00 local time, following Bangkok, Thailand.
Despite looking dangerous, Natan planned to enter the Dungeon, hoping to obtain an extremely rare and valuable Item Drop. Who knows, he could turn Job Necromencer even more powerful, just like Archer into Marksman.

Natan's group rushed northward to head for the Vampire Castle Dungeon that was about to open, and he had already stressed to the others to be on high alert, because it is impossible that only they come there.
After all, there were still many humans who survived, even though only the Armonia Guild had already reached level 300 and above.
Thirty minutes passed, with his speed being moderate, they had finally arrived at the designated place. Currently they were standing in a two-story multi-storey house, looking at the mound of earth where there was a vortex of blue light, with a red interface screen in front of it.
Many other teams also came here and stood on top of their respective buildings, with each team consisting of 10 to 20, this was like bringing in a Guild rather than a team.
The fewest members were Natan's team, but at least they were the strongest here.
Some came jumping towards the top of the house where Natan was. That person was a man who was in his 25s, had short black hair with neat cuts, had thick eyebrows with a slightly disgusting look.
The young man was wearing a silver armor, with a sword at his waist.
"Does your team only have one man? What if no one is protecting you? What if you join me?" The young man stretched out his hand, and showed his team members.
The youth team member had 15 men, and no women at all.
Natan who did not know what the young man said only chose silence and focused on the Vampire Castle Dungeon.
The young man looked extremely annoyed and lowered his right hand, then again jumped towards the building where his team members were waiting. There was a killing intent that was clearly visible in his eyes.
Natan opens the interface screen and sends a message in Guild Chat for everyone to be more vigilant, as there will most likely be ambushes and murders.
Natan opens Mapping which is always active, but he set the range even wider. He could see at least 10,000 players coming, with the lowest level being 120, and the highest being him.
Before coming here, Natan had also said not to take items from the Inventory Guild in front of other Players. He said that this was an ability that only the Armonia Guild accepted, as it was the first Guild in the world.
In this attack, Natan did not use his main weapon, but instead used a level 80 spear to outwit. If you have entered the Dungeon, then you will use the main weapon.
Time continued to pass and there was a change in the entrance of the Dungeon. The color of the interface screen has started to change, orange is then blue.
[Bangkok: Dungeon Vampire Castle has opened]
[Underground Dungeon, can accommodate many Players at once. It can only be entered for an hour, after an hour has passed, no one can enter again]
Immediately the 10,000 players began to move simultaneously starting to move towards the blue vortex as wide as one football field.
The young man who had previously invited Vely looked back sharply, then jumped up carrying all the team members.
Natan who saw the Duangphen Kannik move to the Dungeon door still remained silent, and let everything in first. He then replaced his weapon with Black Sword.
"Prepare, make sure to activate the protectors after we enter. Since that person must have had bad intentions, it's possible that we'll be ambushed upon entering." Natan again reminded everyone to always be vigilant.
Everyone nodded their heads in return.
Natan smiled lightly and jumped off the roof of the house, then walked into the Dungeon's door simultaneously.

The sky was blood red with a barren black soil full of cracks, the trees were growing sparsely and it had dried up without any leaves growing.
Natan turned his head around, seeing all the Players were sitting on top of their respective groups without anyone moving deeper. He did not know why they were all just staying here without going to kill the monsters, but before long all his questions were answered.
[Life 24 Hours]
[Try to survive for 24 hours, be careful with your surroundings, whether monsters or other humans. If able to survive within a predetermined time, the Player will be able to descend to the 2nd floor]
Natan takes the others to a deeper place, avoiding the Player most of them are middle-aged men, who have uncomfortable gazes for Veli, Calista and Olivia.
At least Natan took them 500 meters away from the other Players, and built a trap that surrounded where they were. The trap was only a moat, but inside it was already a bone fence sticking out and was extremely sharp.
"You guys saw that? We become the center of attention. That's why, prepare yourself as best you can, and it looks like there will be chaos here. Out of the ten thousand players, maybe half will be killed because of the fight between the Players," said Natan who took out a sword from her scabbard, then took care of her.
Natan glanced far back, seeing the others were cooking. Finally, he decided to cook as well with the help of Ayumi.
There was a lot of attention on us, it seemed that it was indeed wrong to enter a vast Dungeon like this.
Natan could hear the other Player talk through the Skeleton Knight he had hidden inside the young man's shadow earlier, but it was a pity that he could not understand what they were saying. But no problem, at least he could kill them directly if they attacked first.
Not just one, Natan also hid the Skeleton Knight and Ginger in the various opposing teams, as he stepped on their shadows on purpose.
"Natan, why are you so vigilant?"
Natan turned to the front left looking at Vely who was carrying chopsticks. "This is a Dungeon, we should be on our guard. Murder can happen at any time, maybe while we are asleep, or even right now ..."
"We are strangers, who don't know what they're talking about. Who knew they were devising a plan, to reduce the number of existing Players."
Calista nodded her head many times by looking at her arms in front of her chest, signifying agreement to what Nathan had said. "Truely, let alone Sister Vely being so beautiful, there might just be some crazy om-om coming in the night."
Calista turned to Natan, then turned his attention to the other Player. "Should I kill him now?"
Natan just kept quiet and let out a long sigh, then focused on her food ahead. But even so, he really felt uncomfortable because many eyes were on him, especially the food that Natan's team ate was quite luxurious than the others.
Until time continued, it did not feel that it had entered the midday time, but strangely inside the Dungeon it was already night, it was marked from the cold wind blowing and the sky was starting to darken.
The other players were still where they were, where it was at the doorstep of the Dungeon. But that door had already disappeared, and would appear after the Dungeon was successfully completed.
Natan who sat cross-legged with her eyes closed and hugged the sword, finally opened her eyes abruptly as she sensed the presence of a monster far to her right, which was southward.
When the others were unable to discern directions, Natan could easily tell the difference because of Mapping.
Nathan stood up from his place and removed the trap, then walked north. "Let's go, there will soon be a wave of monsters, and it's very difficult to overcome them in this place without any plateau."
Without hesitation or questioning, team member Natan immediately walked following closely from behind.
The sneer from the other Player is heard, despite not knowing what is said, but it seems to have a derogatory meaning.
