You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

It's over... Miss's career is probably going to be ruined by this kid!

The only way to prevent disaster—

Return to the Duke's castle immediately and report everything!

Only the Duke's authority can stop the young lady's crazy "willfulness"!

The thought flashed through my mind like lightning.

She folded her bat wings uneasily, turned and resolutely left, heading straight for the castle.

Ron caught a glimpse of Alyssa's retreating figure, shook his head indifferently, and did not stop her.

His attention was already focused on the chaotic group of Level 1 monsters gathered before him.

Ron raised his hand, and the designer ring shimmered faintly in the dim light.

With a slight thought, invisible spatial ripples spread out, instantly devouring the monster and teleporting it into the dungeon space connected by the ring.

As his mind sank into the depths of the ring, the vast, dark, three-dimensional landscape of the Black Language Cave unfolded clearly—

The natural tunnel, winding for nearly two kilometers, has rugged rock walls and a jagged road surface.

The cave's widest point is less than five meters, and its natural narrowness and winding nature eliminates any possibility for adventurers to take shortcuts!

Ron precisely delivered the monsters to the designated nodes, simultaneously activating the [Monster Breeding Platform]:

"The entrance should be a bit of a 'surprise'... but not so enthusiastic that it scares away the 'guests'."

He targeted several level 1 paralyzing mushrooms that had been deployed. Their thick caps looked eerie in the dim light, and a panel appeared:

【Name: Paralyzed Mushroom】

[Race: Fungi LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Talent: Environmental Awareness]

[Skill: Paralyzing Poison Sac, Empty Skill Gauge]

"Passively triggered paralysis? Too low a threat."

Ron's gaze swept over the small skeleton holding a rusty dagger, its skeleton creaking.

One of the panels popped up:

[Name: Undead Skeleton]

[Race: Undead LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Talent: Immune to Fear]

[Skill: Bone Crusher Self-Destruct, Empty Skill Gauge]

"Bone-shattering self-destruction! Even a level 10 would be skinned alive if hit by it!"

A glint of light flashed in Ron's eyes.

A light tap of the fingertip in the air, and a faint light flickers.

The little skeleton's [Bone Shattering Self-Destruct] rune was stripped away and instantly disappeared into the empty skill slot of the paralyzing mushroom next to it!

"Very good, it can not only poison people, but also 'bloom' on its own!"

He followed the same method and modified five paralyzing mushrooms.

Next, the Paralyzing Poison Sacs from these five dual-skill mushrooms were moved back into the empty slots of the five skeletons that had lost their self-destruct ability.

As a result, five paralyzing mushrooms with no skills and five skeletons with no skills were left on the scene.

Ron had a plan.

Under the ring's control, five "bomb mushrooms," five "harmless mushrooms," five "poisonous skeletons," and five "plain skeletons" were all teleported to the other end of the cave entrance.

He buried the mushrooms like landmines, every five meters, in the shadows of the rock crevices.

“Even I can’t tell which one will explode…” Ron’s lips curled into a cold smile. “That’s the randomness of the ‘surprise’ that I’m after!”

Ten small skeletons with different skills were mixed into a squad and ordered to patrol back and forth in the "mushroom minefield".

"This 'appetizer' is sure to whet your appetite within 50 meters of the entrance!"

Before his consciousness returned to the monster horde, his gaze fell on those few furry, compound-eyed, LV1 giant wolf spiders.

Panel expanded:

Name: Giant Wolf Spider

[Race: Beast LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Talent: Climbing Expert]

[Skill: Spider Web Binding, Empty Skill Gauge]

The giant wolf spider sensed the gaze and nervously rubbed its chelicerae, emitting a low "ooh" sound.

Ron ignored their "protests," his gaze sweeping across the area until it locked onto several LV1 Thunder-Patterned Lizards whose carapaces flickered with faint arcs of electricity:

【Name: Razorback Lizard】

[Race: Beast LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Talent: Rugged Shell]

[Skill: Discharge, Empty Skill Gauge]

"Transfer the Giant Wolf Spider's 'Silk Binding' to the Thunder-Patterned Lizard... make their silk spray carry an electric current! Once an adventurer gets entangled, the sensation will be excruciating..."

Chapter 5 Cedric, the Flame Duke

A mischievous glint flashed in Ron's eyes as he tapped his fingers repeatedly in the air.

The "web bindings" of the ten giant wolf spiders were stripped off and precisely embedded into the skill slots of the Thunder-Patterned Lizard!

Then, he manipulated the ring to teleport the giant wolf spiders and thunder-patterned lizards together to a relatively open bend in the middle of the cave.

"You should 'warmly' entertain the guests here."

Ron's voice was as cold as ice.

He was completely unconcerned about the weakening of the giant wolf spider's fighting strength—

They were originally designed as bait to attract firepower.

After setting up this area, Ron turned his attention to the largest group—

Those thirty green-skinned, fanged, and cunning-eyed Level 1 goblins.

A goblin's panel appears:

[Name: Goblin]

[Race: Humanoid]

[Level: LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Racial Talent: Teamwork]

Skill Slot 1: Silent Ambush, Skill Slot 2: Empty

"Goblins? Their combat power is negligible; they're good only for being 'troublemakers' on the battlefield."

His gaze fell upon the low-level fel bats hanging upside down in the shadows, emitting subtle ultrasonic waves.

One of the panels popped up:

[Name: Fel Bat]

[Race: Beast]

[Level: LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

Racial Trait: Fel Immunity

[Skill Slot 1: Fel Infrasound, Skill Slot 2: Empty]

“Give these bats the goblin’s ‘silent ambush’...turn them into stealthy aerial assassins!”

With a thought that flashed by, ten streaks of light appeared.

The "Silent Ambush" skill in the skill slot 1 of the ten goblins was stripped and instantly transferred into the skill slots of the ten fel bats!

Ron immediately teleported these "stealth bombers" into the Black Language Caverns, ordering them to hang upside down in inconspicuous protrusions or shadows throughout the cavern's dome.

Then, his gaze fell on the LV1 Black Vine, which was coiled in the corner like a black python and covered with rough scales.

A panel of black vines unfolds:

Name: Kurofuji

[Race: Plant]

[Level: LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Racial Trait: Limb Regeneration]

Skill Slot 1: Infinite Extension, Skill Slot 2: Empty

"Let the black vines also have the 'silent' property when launching sneak attacks with infinite extension and retraction... The most deadly attack is the one that strikes without warning!"

With another tap of the fingertip, the "silent ambush" of ten goblins was stripped away and replaced with ten black vines.

Finally, he looked at the few floating, LV1 fire elements that emitted faint heat waves.
