Chapter 76. Leaving The Dungeon - 1
As Orion lay there on the ground, thinking about what he should do after leaving the dungeon, a boat full of people landed not far from him.
Runo, Ralf, and everyone else disembarked the boat and came to the area where Orion rested.
They were shocked to witness such destruction when they laid their eyes on the ground before them.
They saw that some parts of the ground were completely scorched black, while others appeared to be frozen. Most of the ground around Orion seemed to be completely destroyed; only debris and dust could be seen all around.
"Orion, you won, right?" Runo asked.
Orion gave him a thumbs up.
"Indeed, I have won," he said as if it were a matter of fact. "Otherwise, why would you think I would be resting here?"
"That means it's all over?" Ralf said, his face beaming with joy.
"Yes, it's all over now." Orion nodded. "We can finally leave this damn place."
"How did you kill him?" Sam asked, his face full of confusion. "He was so strong, and even if he were to limit his strength to bronze rank, I don't think any of us would be his opponents."
"It was luck, I guess," Orion laughed. Indeed, it was luck. If Quent hadn't sealed his powers to a stone and gave them to him, he believed that even if he were to defeat him, Quent would have killed him with just a fraction of his godlike power.
"The portal at the broken wall should be active, right?" Runo asked. This was the main thing he wanted to know, as it was their only ticket back to their home.
"It should be," Orion nodded. "Let's go and see it for ourselves."
Everyone nodded and left for the boat.

A while later, the boat carrying everyone, including Orion, landed in front of the broken wall, standing tall in the desolate realm of forests.
Orion was taken back by what she said. But now that he thought about it, he could indeed follow them after leaving the dungeon. That way, he didn't have to worry about having a roof over his head at night, and he could also learn some things about the world from them. Finally, when he would leave them, he wouldn't be so clueless about the world.
'That's a good idea.'
He felt that this was the best thing to do for now.
However, at that precise moment, Sam, who also sat beside him, uttered some words that poured a bucket of cold water on his thoughts.
"Miira, you are such a fool," Sam laughed, his eyes becoming small. "Orion, after going through that portal, won't be returning to the Human Federation Realm with us. He will be going to Magus Kingdom with all those pirates and the others."
Orion's face showed a puzzled expression as he heard Sam. He couldn't understand why he would be going to Magus Kingdom and they would go to the Human Federation Realm when they would be leaving through the same portal.
"Ah, I forgot about that." Miira patted her head in understanding as she heard Sam.
"Why?" Orion questioned, his brows furrowing as he turned to Sam. "Why will I be teleported to the Magus Kingdom instead of joining you guys in the Human Federation Realm?"
"If I am not mistaken, you came with that group of pirates, right?" Sam didn't answer but instead asked him a question.
Orion nodded. He did come with the group of pirates.
"I guessed that by your attire," Sam said as he explained some things to him. "As for why you will not be coming with us and going to Magus Kingdom, it's simple. It's because you came from the Magus Kingdom to this dungeon, so when you leave this dungeon, the portal will teleport you directly to the Magus Kingdom as well."
As he heard Sam, Orion understood. He just hadn't thought that the exit portal would be designed this way.
But he really wanted to go to the Human Federation Realm. He felt that this domain was more like Earth than the Magus Kingdom, which he knew nothing about.
'I guess I'll learn some new things by going there, but this body's family is also in that domain.'
As he thought about this body's family, Orion had a headache. He could only hope that he wouldn't encounter them. Knowing how they had abandoned the original owner of this body, he really felt disgust towards them and didn't want to meet them at all.
As Orion mulled over various matters and conversed with Sam and Miira, time seemed to crawl by, and nightfall gradually descended upon them.
Eventually, Runo instructed Ralf to guide the boat to their base—the colossal tree. Upon arrival, everyone disembarked from the boat and settled in for the night's rest amidst the shelter of the towering tree.
