Now that he knew where they were going, Karl opened a portal to the entrance of the Alliance Compound, and left the reporters to their day.
"Success?" Azov greeted them from the front steps of the Darklight Host house within the compound.
"Success. Though not quite how we expected it. The dungeon wanted us to challenge the final boss, a Wrath Demon named Carnage, to a duel." Karl agreed.
That made the old man laugh.
"Oh, that should be priceless. Not many are going to be able to complete that challenge, but as soon as someone does, it’s going to become the must-have accomplishment before the next round of challenges.
To think that it would just openly give you a title to show off. And ’Mythic Duellist’ at that. What greater sort of title could the System give you in a city where everyone values the Myths who have the power to fight for their Guild’s Dungeons?" Azov chortled.
"People don’t give the System nearly enough credit for its sense of humour." Dana joked.
"How did it go for the rest of you? Can it be done by more than one member?" He asked.
Dana nodded. "I got the title as well, and the reward is exactly the same, not even adjusted for class or anything. But the next round failed, and that was the end of the challenge string."
"So, teams can send multiple challengers in together, to all try to get the title. But the first one must win to give the others a chance? Interesting."
Raj looked up from the paperwork he was doing with a smile. "It will cause no end of tensions between Guilds as well. It’s more cost-effective if you send four challengers with a healer.
However, if any of them fail, whoever was supposed to go after doesn’t get the chance.
Did you at least get regular dungeon loot from it?"
Karl nodded. "Yeah. Nothing special, but a few Mythic items at Rare Grade. About as good as you’d normally expect from the dungeon, but with one more item from the challenge."
"So, one that will be popular, but not one that we will be rushing to do every week. Got it."
Karl looked around at the mostly empty house, then at the Guild Leader. "Might I ask, what brings you here? Everyone else should have been rushing off to go do a harder difficulty dungeon again today, to build up their funding."
Raj laughed. "My team was too impatient. The daily timer resets at midnight, so we went at one in the morning instead of going to bed last night. I just got out of bed and thought I would come over to pay my respects to the King."
And to grab breakfast from the Mystic Cooking crew, Karl noted.
