The fight became a little bit harder with two Vileshrooms at the same time along with the boss. It even became chaotic.

The group had to split their attention between 3 different monsters, and none of them had a good understanding of leadership to know how to handle a group of fighters. The Swordsman who was the leader was just there as a figurehead of the party. He was never used to leading.

Even Ning had to never do this sort of thing. He was always a solo fighter, and as a result the fight became hard to handle.

They would deal with the Vileshrooms, but then the Shroom King would attack them. They would fight the Shroom King, but then they would be hit by the Vileshroom's Seed Bullet.

In the end, whether he could or not, Ning had to stand up and give them orders.

He told the Swordsman, fire mage, and ranger to take away the last 20% of the Shroom King's health. As for the two Vileshroom, he and the assassin would handle it themselves.

With the orders given, the 5 of them began to work in unison. The assassin and Ning lured the two Vileshroom away, while the other three fought the Shroom King.

Ning brought out a [Double Damage] card that allowed him to kill the Vileshroom in a single attack from his Wind Arrows, after how much health it had already lost.

He joined the three in the fight, and not long after, the Assassin joined too.

After tons of fighting, dodging, and occasionally taking damage, the party was able to defeat the Shroom King.

[Congratulations, You have defeated the Shroom King.]

[Clear Time: 26 Minutes 15 seconds]

[You have obtained a Mushroom Hat]

[Mushroom Hat (Common)

VIT: 5

Health Regeneration: 2

|Double Regen (Passive): Doubles all Health regeneration if the user has been out of combat for over a minute | ]

"Oh, not bad," Ning thought and put on the hat. The hat looked like a mushroom head, and looked quite stupid, but he remembered seeing similar hats around the gates, so it wasn't exactly something that he would be averted to using.

Ning wore the hat and looked at the rest of the notifications.

[You have obtained 1500 EXP]

[You have leveled up.]

"Ooh, nice," Ning thought. He quickly opened his Player profile to see what the situation was.

"Great," he thought to himself. The stats were looking good, and he now had nearly twice the amount of INT compared to STR and AGI.

'I seriously need to find some sort of skills. I will have to check how much they cost later,' he thought.

"Let's return, shall we," the swordsman said and the 5 of them left the Dungeon through the white portal that had just appeared.

"What do we do now?" the Fire Mage asked. "Do we enter again?"

"I just finished a quest I got. If you guys don't mind, I would like to return," the Assassin said.

"Me too," the Swordsman said. "We should disband the party."

"Sure," Ning said and removed himself from the party first. The rest followed suit and soon there was no party.

After that, everyone separated to go on their own way.

Ning was about to return to finish his quest as well when he remembered something and turned around to look at the Dungeon gates.

Maybe people were around here, standing around the gate, getting ready to enter.

However, what Ning was looking for was the maximum level allowed to enter the dungeon.

'20,' he thought. He was already 12. If he left and finished the quest, he would get 12000 Exp.

However, based on how the Exp system worked in this game, he would level up to be around 15 if he got the reward.

Then, he would only have 15 more levels, and he wouldn't be a lot of time to fight in the dungeon.

And he desperately wanted to fight in the dungeon. Especially, he wanted that Solo clear record very much.

'Should I try right now?' he wondered. He was only level 12, so he wasn't sure if Solo clear as possible. Even if it wasn't, given how easy it was to find Vileshrooms in that dungeon, it was more than enough incentive for him to go in on his own, even if that meant there was a high chance he would die to the boss.

The Exp he would lose when dying was nothing when compared to the Exp he would gain. On top of that, dying in a dungeon didn't make you drop your loot, so he was good there too.

In the end, after thinking for a while, Ning decided to enter and fight on his own.

Due to the Double Regen skill in the hat, he had already gained his HP back. As for his mana, it would slowly go back as well.

Thinking so, he walked up to the dungeon gate that lay in the arch and accepted the pop-up.

Then, he disappeared and appeared inside the dungeon once more.

Ning looked around at the grassy meadow and then at the Hedge maze in front of him. He walked up to the maze and looked at the ways that went left and right.

The group had gone left last time, so he wondered what was right. He wondered if that even matter, as the maze wouldn't be a maze anymore if players could simply remember which way they had to go.

So, assuming that no matter which direction he went, it didn't matter, Ning went through the pathway to the right. After walking for a bit, he heard the sound of the ground moving and stopped as a Vileshroom popped out of the ground.

Ning began fighting.
