Chapter 175: Level 2 Territory, Territory Dungeon

[The upgrade to the second level has begun. Time required, 2 minutes.]

With the appearance of the prompt, the ground began shaking. At the same time, the blue light that had already enveloped the entire territory began expanding. And in no time, it had already increased by more than 1 km radius.

It was not just that, but, the invisible barrier that was protecting the territory also expanded. From the previous 500 m, it had expanded to a radius of 2,000 m radius. That implied that currently, the radius of the territory had been increased to 2 kilometers.

This development immediately attracted the attention of all the residents inside the territory. It was not just them, but, even a group of people that was not far away from the territory was also alarmed. At the same time, those people could not believe it when they suddenly felt that there was a force that was pushing them away from where they were.

Initially, this group of gangsters had managed to gather a lot of resources. And today, they had come over to gather information about this territory. They were part of the fighting club, whose members were recently killed by Diana.

According to the rumors that had already been flying around, they knew that this territory was not to be underestimated. So, the leader of the fighting club had sent them over to look for information about this territory. After that, they were going to exploit the weakness of this territory, not only gaining the territory itself, but, going ahead to kill all those that had killed their members.

However, this group of people did not expect that they were going to be suddenly pushed out of the room that they were staying in. They were just chatting around with each other, waiting for the night time to arrive so that they could sneak over, but, suddenly, a blue light came over, carrying them.

What made their eyes widen was that, as the blue light carried them, they passed through the walls! It was as if the world did not exist in the first place.

This scared them sh*tless. This was definitely the first time that they were seeing something like this, despite it being in the apocalypse.

After they had been taken a distance away, the blue light suddenly left them hanging in the air. And without any suspense, the group plummeted to the ground.

Bang!

Although the distance was not that high, but, dropping unexpectedly onto the ground did not give them the chance of preparing themselves. So, the group that was still trying to process what had just happened landed onto the ground. Although they were not injured by a huge degree, but still, they felt pain in their bodies.

It was only then that they finally came out of their stupor. They looked towards the area that they had been taken from. They were surprised to see that that area was currently enveloped by a blue dome.

One of them was curious, taking a step forward. After arriving in front of the blue dome, he touched it, finding that it was solid. Then he went ahead and punched.

Boom!

An explosion occurred in the next moment! But, it was not due to the shock wave or the impact of the punch on the dome, rather, it was because the person that had punched the dome had suddenly exploded into a bloody mist.

The remaining group of five immediately retreated with fear clear in their eyes. Although they could not understand what had happened, but they knew that this dome was bad news.

In the apocalypse, there were many things that they did not know about. But, although they were curious about it, they did not dare to approach this dome again.

"Let us retreat right now!" The leader of the expedition, a man with a thin body frame stated as he looked at the dome with horror clear in his eyes. His companion had not even gotten a chance of doing anything, but the moment that his fist connected with the dome, he exploded into a bloody mist.

"But...but what about the mission that we were given?" Another member of the group asked. After all, they had been asked to come here for espionage purposes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you retarded or something? Don’t you see the situation that we are currently in? We are supposed to look for information from inside there, but do you have a method of going through this blue dome?" The thin man pointed at the guy who had just spoken and said angrily.

Obviously, he was not happy about what had just happened. Not only that, but, even though he knew that the mission was important, still, he thought that their lives were way more important.

The guy did not know how to respond to that retort. So in the end, he could only shut his mouth. Anyway, it was not as if he was the one who was going to answer to the main boss of the fighting club.

...

Back inside the territory, Henry also observed the changes as they happened. He had already moved towards the window of the territory building, observing everything from a higher ground. He had realized that once the blue dome expanded, the ground that had already been devastated during the fight that had occurred the previous day was also somehow magically repaired.

Not only that, even the road that was present within the territory was brought back to how it was before the storm that occurred a few days ago. The only things that remained destroyed were the buildings.

After the countdown of 2 minutes ended, the blue barrier that was currently enveloping the entire territory suddenly became transparent. Of course, Henry did not think that it had disappeared, but rather, it had just become how it was before, invisible to the naked eye.

The moment that the two minutes ended, another prompt appeared in front of Henry.

[Congratulations to the Lord of the Domination Star territory, Henry Hudson. Your territory has been successfully upgraded to the second level.]

[Congratulations to the Lord of the Domination Star territory, you are the first human to be able to upgrade the territory to the second level within 10,000 miles radius. You are rewarded with a special function for the territory.]

[Territory upgrade successfully. Several features of the territory have also been upgraded. The quality of the main territory building has been increased, and so has been the defenses of the building. Currently, the defense of the main territory building is at the same level as the Lord of the territory.]

[The territory barrier has been upgraded. It is detected that before the level up to Level 2, all the buildings within the territory had already been upgraded to a required quality. For that reason, the Lord of the territory will be given another extra reward.]

[Since the Lord of the Domination Star Territory has managed to upgrade the territory to the second level even before time for upgrading the territories arrived, he is going to receive advance information about what the requirements for the territory to reach the next level are.]

[Next upgrade requirements:

The Lord’s power level: At least Level 1 Silver rank.

Total population; 1,000 people

Number of people in the Bronze rank: At least 20.

Mutation crystals: 1 level 5 Silver rank ]

Henry was a little stunned after reading through the prompts that had appeared. But, the thing that had attracted him the most was that, it seemed that he was the first person that had managed to upgrade the territory to the second level within a radius of 10,000 miles.

How big was 10,000 miles? One could already imagine that. But, since he was being rewarded, did that imply that there was someone who had received the reward of being the first person to build a territory? Henry could not help but think about that.

Nevertheless, he decided not to focus on that matter now. So, the first thing that he focused on was on the rewards that he had received.

The territory had received a special function. And the moment that Henry thought about this, another prompt appeared in front of him.

[Territory dungeon: It can be used by the members of the territory in order to help them in becoming mutant warriors, or help them in becoming even stronger.

Note: Once a person enters the territory dungeon, their lives and death would depend on them. The risk of them losing their lives is present, and there are always risks of encountering monsters of a higher level than what a person could handle.

Note 2: The territory dungeon can be used twice every week, and the maximum number of people that can enter is limited at 100. The number can increase with the upgrade of the territory dungeon. The upgrade of the territory dungeon depends on the level of the territory.

Note 3: The current strongest monster present within the dungeon is at the 9th level of Silver rank.]

Henry took a deep breath as he tried to process the information about this special function that he had received. This was actually not supposed to be part of the territory, but, it was a reward as he was the first person to upgrade the territory to the second level.

But even so, Henry could not help but wonder at how overpowered this feature was. Currently, the main problem that they were experiencing was to find high level monsters that could be utilized in order to help them in leveling up.

But, the dungeon appeared out of nowhere, easily solving the problem. Although it was true that there was danger of death inside the dungeon, but, what was the difference between the dungeon and outside? In this apocalypse, every single step that a person took had the risk of death.

’With this territory dungeon, it should not be a difficult problem for me to be able to reach the Silver rank. I just hope that I will be giving the time to level up.’ Henry thought to himself before shifting his attention to the other features that he had received after the upgrade of the territory to the second level.
