The criminal will not leave the dungeon alive.

The paw hit the wet ground causing water to splash everywhere, the part of the spider king's body that was left was confused, he could have sworn he felt his paw hitting Alex.
The King of Camelot's body disappeared. What happened? He couldn't move, yet he still disappeared? The Spider King just stood there watching the rain wash over his divided body.
It wasn't that the King of Camelot was stronger than him, it was just that the Spider King had just been born, would he die the very day he was born? How different was he from a fly?
No, he was even more pitiful than a fly, the day hadn't ended yet but he was already dying, system windows kept appearing in his eyes.
The windows crowded together, covering his vision, now only crimson flashes of the system could he see, his body conveyed no sense of touch, the rain falling on him was irrelevant.
When there were no more system windows disturbing him, he finally saw him, the clothes looked the same, but the height was different, the hair had a different color too.
It wasn't the king of Camelot, it was someone else, it was human, at least the king thought the person was human.
The human shone with a golden light that blinded the spider king, the light was intense like sunlight, it was warm and cozy, after this dazzling light, the king saw nothing else.
The king's consciousness faded and only darkness embraced him.

"Thank God I arrived in time, a second later it would have been too late," Arnaldo said, arranging Alex's body on a surface that wasn't so wet.
"Sir, you look like a comic book hero, arriving at the last moment and saving the damsel in distress, too bad I'm not one, otherwise"
Alex forced a weak smile.
"That would be the moment I fell in love with the shining knight" hearing the nonsense that Alex tried so hard to say, the sword saint laughed himself.
"I can't believe Felix influenced you, with only two days," Arnaldo joked in response, he took three vials of potions from his storage and carefully gave them to Alex to drink.
The first potion recovered his injuries, the recovery was visible to the naked eye, the second filled his HP bar by half and the last recovered 80% of his MP .
5 Minutes later Alex recovered enough to be able to walk on his own, he stood up and looked at the motionless body of the spider king, he had already cut it in two halves, but now it had been almost completely evaporated.
"Senior." Arnalda stopped Alex before he could continue his words.
"Now that you're a two-star agent, there's no need to treat me with superiority, otherwise, I'll have to do the same." Arnaldo adjusted his sunglasses.
"What in the world is going on? Being the professor's son, the fact that there are irregular beings was already expected, but this is too much. I think I'm special in the hunters' association, and you come and steal my throne."
Arnaldo said dramatically despite the wide smile betraying his fake anger.
It's been three days since the general informed Arnaldo that the professor's son had awakened a week ago due to an incident involving the Weber family, Alex had been arrested.
On the day Alex was sent to atone for his crime, that was exactly three days ago, Arnaldo went with Joana to see his beloved teacher's son, but when he saw him he was quite surprised.
In just a single day, Alex had gone from being a general level zero and star level zero, to a hunter of general level 23 and star level 1, this achievement was unprecedented since he had known himself as a hunter.
On the second day, Alex joined the hunters' association as a hunter and gained his class, a unique class to be specific, something surprising in itself, without any training Arnaldo questioned the fact that the general had sent someone into a dungeon.
Once again Arnaldo was shocked by the skills Alex demonstrated in the undead dungeon, he trusted the system to execute his skills, but using them with such mastery having just acquired the class and skills demonstrates the boy's monstrous talent.
On the third day, or rather today, Alex was late for his second day of work at the hunters' association. Arnaldo thought it was because the previous day had been very difficult for the boy, everyone thought the same.
A little after noon Arnaldo discovered that the professor's daughter had been kidnapped and Alex had entered a dungeon by accident, logically Arnaldo was worried.
He didn't want to stay still, Félix assured him that Lúcia was alive and an undercover agent was trying to locate her so that a team could go to the rescue, Arnaldo was a little reassured.
But there was still the issue of Alex who entered a dungeon by accident, as at the moment he could not do anything about the kidnapping, Arnaldo decided to look for Alex in the dungeon where the boy was imprisoned.
It was then that Arnaldo was shocked again, in just one week and three days, Alex awakened as a hunter, reached level 30, gained a class and had two stellar promotions.
The most surprising thing was his attributes, which were balanced and incredibly high. Was Alex really human? Arnaldo couldn't help but ask this question.
"Arnaldo" Alex decided to follow what his student told him, it was undeniable that he was a two-star now.
"Have you come across the members of the Blue Spirit Guild?" Alex asked with concern in his eyes.
Seeing the newbie's concern, Arnaldo hurried to respond.
"They are fine, their vice guild leader rescued them all, although some were seriously injured, they were fine."
Alex sighed for a moment before the worry returned again, the spider king told him that he fed on a human female and Alex feared that it was Tiffany who was devoured.
"There was a girl, she's the vice-leader's sister, did you see her among the survivors?" Alex's heart pounded in anticipation of the answer,
She wasn't his Tiffany, he convinced himself of that, but the two years of dating weighed heavily on his shoulders. He accepted her mother and sister as his even though they weren't really, and Tiffany seemed to be included as well.
Arnaldo looked strangely at Alex's excessive concern, when he was told that Alex had abused someone, he didn't believe his teacher's memory, but now, what should he think?
"Tiffany, isn't it?" Arnaldo asked, to which Alex nodded in response.
"She's fine," Arnaldo said without ceremony.
Alex almost collapsed in relief, Tiffany was okay.
"Can we get out of here, I'm worried about my sister," Alex said, shaking out his worn suit.
"Félix updated me on Lúcia, she has been located and as soon as we return to the hunters' association we will set off on a rescue," Arnaldo said reassuring Alex.
"I feel a little relieved hearing that, what more information do we have about her and the kidnappers, why was she kidnapped?"
"Agents have been assigned to investigate all of this, as soon as we leave here, we will join them, but before that, we have something urgent to worry about now." Arnaldo's face became serious, he looked in a direction in the distance.
"Something in this dungeon, what could it be?" Alex asked but the realization soon came to his mind.
"The vice-leader of the blue spirit guild?"
"I'm afraid she's waiting to kill you. She's already tried joining the hunters' association and hasn't been successful. This guild would be perfect to finish the job."
Alex looked at the place where Arnaldo was looking, most likely the portal to the outside world was there and the vice leader was also there
"They don't know I was promoted to two stars, does that help in any way?" Arnaldo smiled.
"That's great, it means they're not aware of your new abilities, most likely the vice leader will try to get rid of me while your guild members will try to kill you."
Arnaldo thought for a moment before continuing his words.
"How confident are you that you'll stay safe fighting the Blue Spirit survivors?" Arnaldo asked, hatching a bold plan in his mind.
"Currently I must be as strong as you without the final judgment"
Alex said after a brief consideration, he was probably wrong, but saying that, coupled with the fact that Arnaldo could see his system window, would be enough for Arnaldo to estimate his combat abilities.
"So the plan might work, we'll do the following…" Arnaldo explained what each of them had to do for them both to survive and get out of the dungeon unharmed.
Time inside the dungeon passed and the sky stopped crying, there was mud on the ground and dead trees mixed with the corpses of countless mutant spiders.
"Look, it's not that you decided to turn yourself in, I'm grateful for saving me the trouble of having to look for you," Tatiana said with a provocative smile on her face, behind her the members of her guild were armed.
