<h4>Chapter 162 Exiting the dungeon...</h4>
(Let me tell you more about this world...)
''Degrading state'' refers to the state of a dungeon, after it has already been fully conquered by a raiding party.
In the degrading state, a dungeon starts to slowly degrade into nothingness and disappear. It generally takes a month before the whole Dungeon disappears and the dungeon entrance closes forever.
During this ''Degrading State'' the residual mana and life forces in the dungeon condense and generate various treasures, like mana stones, potions, weapons, artifacts, etc.
The alliance sends a professional ''Clean-up team'' whose duty is to collect and transport as many rewards from the dungeon as possible before it disappears.
The raiding party can choose what to do with the treasure on their own.
Generally, most raiding parties sell these treasures directly to the alliance and receive payment in their bank ounts.
(Of course, they have to pay high amounts of taxes to the government... but even after the tax, the earnings of the awakeners are never low...)
(...this is the reason why most people in this world want to be awakeners because it''s a sessful career option...)
Even the lowest-ranked awakeners can earn decent money if their party sessfully conquers a dungeon.
On the other hand, A-rank dungeons produce even more treasures when they start to disappear.
You can earn so much money from on sessful A-rank dungeon raid that you can live several years in luxury without ever needing to work again for several years.
Keep in mind, that housing prices are extremely cheap in this world because you can extend your house by using the spatial maniption artifacts that are sold at cheap prices on the inte.
If you get sick you can use the ''Healing potions'', if you get injured you can use the ''healing potions'', in fact, even a headache can be cured with a ''healing potion''.
(If it''s a fatal disease/injury you will have to go to the healer, otherwise, just use the potions and you will be fine...)
This is the reason there are no ''Doctors'' in this world, just healing potions are enough to cure most problems and if you need some specific care, just go to the healer, pay the fees and your treatment will be over in a matter of seconds.
Low-ranked potions are mass-produced in factories and sold at cheap prices. You can even drink them as refreshment drinks, without facing any side effects too. They evene in various vors.
(Just don''t take too much of them otherwise it will cause an overdose, then only a healer can save you if you end up overdosing on healing potions...)
Even a failed organ can be pulled back to life, fatal injuries no longer make the human race fearful.
gue, famine, homelessness, security, etc. all of them are properly taken care of by this world''s human race. Making the lives of ordinary people easy, if this is not the pinnacle of magic, then what is?
Ordinary humans live under the protection of thousands of awakeners who are ready to give their lives for the sake of humanity, children can y outside without worrying about anything.
Crimes are nearly non-existent under the watchful eyes of the awakeners and everyone can live a peaceful life. (If this isn''t ''Paradise'' then what else is?...)
This peace and technological advancement were achieved after the sacrifices of many heroes who protected the human race from falling into the evil clutches of destruction and greed.
Nowadays, it is safe to say that, humans are the most technologically advanced among all the races that exist on this.
...
(Back to the present...)
[Ding! Congrattions! You have sessfully conquered the hidden Dungeon of Maya!]
[Ding! The exit portal has been opened!]
[Ding! The Dungeon will enter the ''Degrading State'' now!]
While everyone focused on the notification, Riya hurriedly left Damian''s side and walked over towards Link who was lying on the ground.
"Link! Are you ok!? Are you hurt somewhere!?" (Riya)
Hearing the concerned voice of Riya, Link tilted his head and Riya''s face came into his view. He wanted tofort Riya but he was too tired to even move a finger now.
"I am okay... I am... just tired..." (Link)
After saying that Link''s eyes closed due to exhaustion and he fell asleep immediately.
He is suffering from mana exhaustion right now, and using ''Dao Rhythm'' to resist Rahab''s power took a great toll on him.
If Rio hadn''t dragged him down himself, Link could not havended on the ground from such height without getting injured.
After Link fell asleep Riya immediately put his head on herp. She stretched out her hand and put it on Link''s forehead.
[Intermediate State detection!]
Using her exclusive ''Healer'' ss skill, ''State Detection'', Riya easily examined Link''s whole body for injuries.
Ordinary healers can also use this skill but they are not proficient enough and their capabilities are a bitcking. But Riya is one of the most talented healers of her generation.
She may have a na?ˉve and clumsy personality, but her healing capabilities are no joke. With her talents, she can already bepared to a peak A-rank healer even though she is still in the B-rank.
After examining Link''s body for ten times straight, Riya finally sighed in relief.
''He isn''t injured anywhere it seems, he has exhausted all of his mana and thus fell asleep due to fatigue...'' (Riya)
*Whistle~* (Liam)
While Riya was patting Link''s sleeping face, Liam whistled at this scene like he was watching a great romance show.
"Hohoho! It seems today''s weather is indeed kind of hot, Ellie, blow some air over here too!" (Liam)
Seeing Link sleeping on Riya''sp, Liam whistled like a hooligan and teased Riya too.
Hearing those remarks, Riya''s face had a look of confusion on it, she was too na?ˉve to understand Liam''s teasing and she didn''t think much of thatp pillow either.
Ellie saw Riya''s actions too. She tilted her head towards Liam and said in a blunt tone:
"Master, I can give you the ''Lap Pillow'' too, if you want..." (Ellie)
"COUGH!!!...." (Liam)
Liam was taken aback by Ellie''s sudden statement and ended up choking on air.
Ellie hurriedly patted his back gently.
"There, there..." (Ellie)
"Y-yeah, I-I think I am okay now…" (Liam)
Liam may seem like a shrewd and calctive type of guy, but he was still conscious of the touch from Ellie''s hands.
A slight blush appeared on his handsome face as Ellie patted his back gently with her small hands.
Ellie, oblivious of this all, asked Liam bluntly.
"Master, your face is red, do you have a fever?" (Ellie)
She immediately put her hand on Liam''s head and Liam''s whole face became red from being touched by her soft hands. (She''s actually doing it all on purpose…)
''AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!'' (Liam) (Suffering from ''mental damage +999'')
…
After resting for a few minutes everyone decided to exit the dungeon.
"Phew! Finally, we can get out of this ce!" (Liam)
Liam tilted his head down and said to Ellie in a hesitant voice.
"Uh… Ellie aren''t you a bit too close…" (Liam)
While Liam was excited to go out of the dungeon, Ellie grabbed his left hand and clung to it like a baby. Although his hand was touching a t surface, it still made him conscious of it.
"No~" (Ellie) (''Dame~'' noises intensifies…)
Seeing that Ellie wasn''t going to let go of his hand, he shook his head in defeat and followed everyone out of the portal.

Rio and Lia exited the portal while holding hands, while Riya and Damian exited the portal with Link''s sleeping body floating in the air beside them.
Liam cast a wind-type spell on him, to make him float. After all, no one wanted to carry that muscle head on their back and Riya couldn''t have carried him either, because she was too weak to carry Link''s heavy body.
Kira did the same, she cast the wind spell and Fade''s unconscious body floated beside her.
And thus they all finally exited the dungeon with great sess.
The adventure into the ''Dungeon of Maya'' and the hidden tales of this dungeon seems to have finallye to an end.
…
Outside the dungeon, The Abandoned Basement.
"You all are finally out…" (Raji)
When the party left the dungeon and arrived at the basement, Raji''s cold voice greeted them all.
Raji nced at them all for a few seconds and then nodded her head in satisfaction.
"Aside from Student Fade, all Six of you have passed this test sessfully…" (Raji)
Hearing Raji''s deration, everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Moreover, this dungeon will be excluded of any tax… which means, you all will receive a grand sum of money as your reward for conquering this dungeon… make sure to use this money wisely…" (Raji)
"Don''t get blinded by wealth… keep your hearts firm and continue to strive for a better future… I am sure you can achieve your ambition as long as you don''t stray to a wrong path…" (Raji)
Everyone nodded their head at Raji''s teachings.
"Understood!"
Raji nodded her head.
"Good, now go back to the ''Hotel'' and get some rest…" (Raji)
Raji then nced at Damian and said in her usual cold tone.
"The ''Frost'' family has nothing to do with you, go anywhere you like, just don''t test my patience by trying to infiltrate ''Frost'' family''s property… I am letting you off the hook just because of Riya, otherwise you would have been dead…" (Raji)
Damian wanted to say something after hearing Raji''s words, but before he could say anything, Raji disappeared from her spot.
And thus, he could only shake his head in regret.
