Kang Oh managed to recruit an unexpected helper. 

"It's been a while."

She was a red haired beauty with glasses, and was ranked 4th among Arth's playerbase. It was Helena, otherwise known as the Witch of Annihilation and Blood Witch. 

At first, Kang Oh asked Burkan and Bart for their help. However, Burkan always refused requests that'd prove to be a hassle, while Bart had prior arrangements. 

The next best thing would be Helena, a mage that far surpassed Soren or Karin in skill, so he asked her if she was interested. He used Dragon's Blood as bait, knowing that no mage could resist the allure of such a valuable material.

Kang Oh managed to reel her in.

As expected, Dragon's Blood was an incredible material. After all, it'd managed to attract Helena, who was rarely seen in public, and didn't like to go out that much.

"Hello. It's been a while."

"Hello."

Two other members of the Witch's Forest came too. The Blue Knight, Plum, and the Wind Tracker, Dambi. They were both high rankers, so they'd be a huge help.

"I'll be in your care." 

Their parties curtly greeted each other. They had all fought side by side during the Lich Eclipse raid, so introductions were unnecessary. 

"Shall we get going?"

They passed through the Vertical Cave, and entered the question mark dungeon.

[Entering ???.]

"An unknown dungeon... How curious," Helena said.

"Yeah," Dambi said.

"Save the idle chatter for later. Please follow me...
