<h4>Chapter 139 Damian''s Sacrifice. Part-2. </h4>


    A few seconds after Link''s jump.


    Liam and Elliended on the ground slowly.


    Liam jumped down from Ellie''s back and asked her to revert back to her human form.


    While Ellie reverted to her dragon form, Liam had aplicated expression on his face.


    The more Liam thought back to Link''s epic stunt of jumping down from thousands of meters in the sky, the more bewildered he became.


    Although he had seen Link jump into the magma earlier, still jumping directly on the ground and still suffering no damage is another shocking sight to see.


    If it was anyone else they would have be a meat paste from the impact alone. (Link is built different…)


    ''What the f*ck is this guy made from!? He didn''t receive any damage after falling from such height!?'' (Liam)


    Now the image of Link has be that of a ''Muscle head'' in everyone''s mind. After all, no one in their sane mind would want to jump from such height without any safety measures.


    (Generally, an S-ranker or above can fly and walk in the air freely… being able to fly before even reaching S-rank is already a great feat… but jumping down from insane heights and suffering no damage is even more unheard of…)


    (Only some rare talented people can soar into the sky before breaking through the racial limits and reaching the S-rank.)


    …


    After a few seconds of hugging each other, the two love birds finally separated reluctantly. Link patted Riya on her head as she continued to nibble on the candies to hide her embarrassment.


    The others finally heaved a sigh of rxation and the awkward atmosphere disappeared.


    ''I am quite sure that they would have already kissed each other if not for the people watching them…'' (Liam)


    Liam nced at Ellie with the corner of his eyes, Ellie noticed his secret stares but wasn''t able toprehend what he wanted, so she just tilted her head in confusion.


    Seeing the clueless Ellie, Liam shook his head in regret and went ahead to talk to Lia.


    ''Instead of wasting time on meaningless actions, I should find out about the current situation first…'' (Liam)


    Liam gathered his courage and asked Lia in a calm voice:


    "Ahem! Hey can you exin what''s going on here?" (Liam)


    Lia gave Liam a cold stare and replied in a cold tone:


    "Nothing, just two wild love birds making out in broad daylight, tch!" (Lia)


    With her cold reply, Lia made Liam swallow his words back.


    Hearing Lia''s cold words Liam rephrased his words.


    "Ahem! Cough! W-what I want to ask is… who this old man is?" (Liam)


    Lia nced at Damian who was still staring at the dead body of the giant bear with a baffled look on his face.


    "That old man is Damian… I think he might be a wandering beggar who somehow ended up here…" (Lia)


    "A Beggar stumbled into an A-rank dungeon.. wh-what!?" (Liam)


    At Lia''s casual reply, Liam was even more bewildered.


    When Lia''s voice fell into Damian''s ears, his eyes became focused and he immediately retorted in a loud voice:


    "No way! I am not a beggar! I have a decent family waiting for me outside!" (Damian)


    At Lia''s criticism, Damian finally came back to his senses and epted reality.


    Liam looked at the man and asked with a doubtful look on his face.


    "Can you introduce yourself please, there shouldn''t be anyone else in this dungeon except our party members…please exin your presence here…" (Liam)


    Hearing Liam''s doubtful tone, Damian frowned a little and brought out the same dungeon ticket he had shown to Lia earlier.


    "I am Damian Frostke, a fellow awakener… I am a senior member of the Blind-Lion Party…" (Damian)


    Hearing Damian, everyone was more confused than before.


    Liam looked at Ellie for the answer but even Ellie shook her head.


    [I don''t know what he is talking about Master… I have never heard the Last name Frostke or Blind-Lion party since the day I was summoned by you or even before…]


    Suddenly Riya said with a doubtful look on her face.


    "I seem to have heard the name ''Blind-Lion'' from my sister a long time ago… but I am not quite sure…." (Riya)


    Looking at the doubtful expressions on everyone''s faces, Damian frowned even more deeply.


    "How can that be!? Our party is quite famous outside! Moreover, you guys haven''t heard of the name ''Blind-Lion'' !?" (Damian)


    A bewildered look appeared on Damian''s face.


    "Have you guys been living under a rock or something!?" (Damian)


    At Damian''s rude remarks, everyone frowned a little bit.


    Liam pointed to his school uniform and asked with a doubtful tone:


    "Do you not recognize this uniform of the ''Great Freya Academy'', we are second-year students from the academy… right now we are on a mission to conquer this A-rank dungeon…" (Liam)


    Damian stared at Liam''s uniform, then he looked at everyone else''s uniform and said in a loud voice:


    "This isn''t the uniform of the ''Great Freya Academy''! Of course, I know what that uniform looks like, my elder daughter has taken the entrance exam of the academy before!" (Damian)


    Hearing Damian''s loud retorts, veins appeared on Link''s forehead, he nced at Riya and asked in a gentle tone:


    "Do I make this loud man shut up?… I feel some itch in my hand… just tell me if he''s making your ears ufortable…" (Link)


    Link stretched his hands out and crackled his knuckles in an imposing manner. His dangerous aura and that creepy smile on his handsome face could make anyone under S-rank feel threatened. (Except Rio…)


    Riya was startled by Link''s sudden question, she hurriedly shook her head and wrapped her arms around Link''s hand tightly in an effort to make him stop.


    "No, he isn''t a bad guy! Don''t do that! I will get angry…" (Riya)


    Seeing Riya''s pouting face, Link''s anger melted away and he clicked his tongue in disappointment.


    Damian sighed in relief when Link calmed down, and his dangerous aura disappeared.


    He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a calm tone:


    "Th-thanks little girl…" (Damian)

    Although Riya saved Damian from Link''s anger, the atmosphere became a bit awkward afterward.


    "Th-thanks little girl…" (Damian)


    Although Riya saved Damian from Link''s anger, the atmosphere (If Riya had said yes, Link would have no doubt smashed Damian into the ground with a single punch, breaking nearly every bone in his body and destroying his protection artifact altogether in one attack…)


    …


    After a few seconds of awkward silence, Liam said in a calm tone:


    "Okay, this dungeon ticket is indeed genuine and there are no signs of malicious modification on it…" (Liam)


    "But this makes this situation even moreplicated… there''s no way an SS-ranker would have made such a clumsy mistake of overlooking the entry of another Raid party while the dungeon was already under raid…" (Liam)


    Hearing Liam, a confused look appeared on Damian''s face:


    "By the way, I have been meaning to ask for a while now, who is this SS-ranker you guys are talking about…" (Damian)


    "Isn''t there only two SS-rankers in the human race, one is currently raiding an SS-rank dungeon and the other is at the borders right now…" (Damian)


    "How would they appear here all of a sudden?" (Damian)


    At Damian''s question, Liam tilted his head and said:


    "What are you talking about old man? There are four SS-rankers in the human race today… wait! Could it be!?" (Liam)


    Suddenly Liam''s eyes widened as if an epiphany came to his mind, he suddenly questioned Damian with a shocked look on his face:


    "Old man can you tell us…. what year is it today?..." (Liam)


    At Liam''s weird question, Damian frowned a bit and replied in an unsure tone:


    "Isn''t it year 4336? You are asking weird questions all of a sudden… What? Why are you all looking at me with shocked looks…" (Damian)


    Hearing Damian, everyone went silent and only the faint sound of cold air breeze could be heard around them.


    Everyone looked at Damian with a look of shock in their eyes.


    Liam mustered his courage and said in a trembling tone:


    "O-old man…. It''s year 4346 right now…. You have been stuck in this dungeon… for ten years now…." (Liam)


    With Liam''s deration, everything seems to havee to a sudden stop in Damian''s eyes.


    The fact that he had been stuck in this ce for not ten days but ten years was too shocking and difficult to digest for him. It was too sudden for him, he felt like all his hopes were copsing and everything felt surreal.


    "H-how can that be!? Y-you must be joking right? Right!?" (Damian)


    Hearing Damian''s question Liam shook his head solemnly and replied:


    "It''s year 4346 right now… that''s the actual truth old man… ten years have passed away in the outer world… people have even forgotten about your party''s name too…" (Liam)


    …
