The Tyrant Fairy could not resist the offer of more people venturing the dungeon. If more people came, then the mortality rate would increase. Thus, the dungeon would continue to grow. This offer was like showing a large piece of meat to a hungry tiger.
*nods*
The beast nodded. Lee stepped near the beast and started to speak.
"Outside the doors of the dungeon is a sect called Moon Water Sect. They restrict anyone from entering the dungeon. The people have mostly forgotten about the existence of this dungeon. If you need people flowing inside, then you will have to remind those outside that such a dungeon exists."
Lee created a simple topographic map using the Workshop and showed it to clarify his ideas. When the beast comprehended that he meant no harm, instead of the goodness of the dungeon, the beast reverted back to its little fairy figure, and flew into the Dungeon Crystal.
*dummmm....*
A loud sound that resembled that of a drum resonated throughout the dungeon and the beasts became still when the voice hit them. A faint buzzing sound followed it and continued to hum for the next two minutes.
The humming stopped and the Dungeon Crystal spoke-
"I have informed all beasts that you are not a hostile being. The door has been forcefully sealed from the outside. I can only break the seal with my power, so you will have to put some effort to break out. Also, my extent of control does not go beyond the dungeon. Thus, I have commanded all dungeon beasts to rampage outside, and to return with the resource after an hour."
"That would be enough. I can blast a hole through the wall."
As Lee gave a nod and walked towards the mouth of the tunnel, he was jumping up with joy inside. His intention to teach the overly feminist sect a lesson was about to be a reality. Holding down his urge, Lee walked into the tunnel.
It was then the boss monsters woke up. Their first reaction was to sprang up on their feet and check the surroundings. Finding that the Dungeon Crystal is hurt, and is organising an adventure party, the beings stepped towards the first floor. Those beings tamed by Lee felt a sliver of familiarity as they passed him by.
The first floor became crowded and Lee went into the entrance of the dungeon. He tried to punch, but it was as if he had hit a giant metal door. Since his strength can be coupled with the Dungeon Crystal's seal break, he was optimistic to see the light of the day.

Meanwhile, in the sect.
Main assembly hall.
In twelve chairs are the twelve elders seated. Chu Hua was visibly irritated by the results. She skimmed her eyes over the elders and asked out loud-
"Why can we not access this spatial ring?"
At the centre of the hall was a table, and on the table was Lee's spatial ring. The simple and ordinary looking ring was one of his first possessions.
Since the ring had Lee's blood dripped on it, the access to the ring has been restricted only to him. And since he had not died, no one could forcefully open it. There are people who can pick the lock, but no such person is trustworthy to give a spatial ring into their hands.
"That man must be dead by now. But the ring is still blocked from access."
The third elder sounded her opinion.
"If that person is already dead, then the ring should not restrict access to anyone. I assume that he is not dead yet, but is at the verge of dying. So, there is a possibility that the blood pact would soon be broken."
A veil of silence covered them. None spoke after the fifth elder gave her assumption.
"Why don't we try again?"
It was the tenth elder's voice. She stood up and walked towards the table. She took the ring in her palm, and then, a loud explosion shook the room.
*Boom*
The building shook and the whole sect was awake. With no idea of what was happening, the elders poked their heads out of the windows to see if any accidents had happened. They could not spot any disasters in the vicinity, but one of the elders saw danger approaching like a horde.
*screech*
*roar*
The atmosphere became chaotic as the elders and the sect leader saw the dungeon's sealed door broken apart. The seal that was supposed to hold for another century had mysteriously shattered, and an avalanche of dungeon beasts had erupted.
Lee standing inside the tunnel was releasing the beasts he had captured previously. Thus an enormous wave of dungeon beasts rippled outwards and rampaged.
The initial reaction of the feminist disciples were to flee. Then some disciples showed courage to fight, and united the cowards. When they were cutting down the beasts, each one of the disintegrating animals were being reborn in the dungeon. After being reborn, they became more invulnerable to attacks and tricks.
Hornets were suicidal damage dealers, while weavers were A.O.E masters with their webs. The jaguars and rodents used their agility to break the larger crowd to smaller crowds, and the snakes slowly finished them off. Chimeras were trampling the sect disciples under its feets while the scorpions were a menacing presence in the battle field.
Needless to say, Aluminiles were in the spotlight, until the Safrogors entered. Following them, Minotaurs and Ghouls entered the land of diverse prey.
The battle was fierce with both sides waging war with all they had. The dungeon beasts initially had a lesser kill rate, and it soon changed to a higher value, as the recreated beings with previous memories were exhibiting that they are indeed formidable opponents.
The sect's core disciples were chopping down the rodents and jaguars when the bugs attacked from blindspots. The crafty goblins were intelligent beings and cooperated with jaguars to form a lethal combo.
When the elders rushed to defend the monster wave, the opposition also exposed their bigger guns!
