"These runes look a bit different than the ones in the Mid-Boss room but at the same time connected with each other. Whatever the connection maybe I don't think I can unveil the secrets at my stage. I think I should increase my knowledge about runes first. For now, just record them and get out of here", Chris decided and recorded the runes to study for later.
One thing he understood while checking the two rooms was that it was not easy to determine the secrets of the dungeon even though he had an idea about what the secret was. The final answer didn't matter here. What he needs is to know how to get there if he wants to gain benefits from that.
Whether he would gain any benefits or not, only time will tell.
"Well, all the runes were recorded. Let's find the Boss of this Dungeon and be done with this. I hope the runes in the boss room will give me hints about how these runes exactly work".

The moment Chris entered the boss room, he saw the boss, the reason he came here in the first place. To complete the quest he needed to get the boss's heart. To get the heart he has to defeat it first.
"Finally, the dungeon boss. Once I kill it, I should exit the dungeon and learn more about the runes before entering other dungeons looking for clues".
The moment the dungeon boss saw Chris enter its lair, it roared in anger.
Roar!

Name/Race: Ouzal/Fire Salamander
Level: 31

"Hmm, it looks like it has crossed level 30. Didn't the information about the dungeon say that the highest boss can only be level 30 or lower? It doesn't matter anyway. I'll defeat it, though it would take a few minutes more than it should. No need to waste time thinking, let's start the battle".
"Ice Armour"
"Dark Skill: Slip"
"Ice Lance"
"Dark Skill: Paralyze"
"Ice Rain"
Chris spammed not only attack still but also defence and control skills. Even though he has high attributes, for a level 26 awakened, one moment of distraction or helplessness could cost him his life. After all, he wasn't the only one to have skills in this match.
The salamanders are especially dangerous when they unleash their tail attacks like, [Tail Flip] or [Tail Slash]. They would not only cause others to lose their health but also stun them, making it possible for the salamanders to stack their attacks, which could be deadly.
-145
-45 (Chris)
-176
After a few minutes of tugging, Chris finally won over the boss.
[A/N: Do note that the monsters would have defence and skills that could render the attacks useless. So higher attack power for the MC wouldn't mean, high health loss for the monsters.]

[You have killed the dungeon boss, Ouzal, level 31.]
[You have gained EXP...]
[You have levelled up.]
[You have reached level 26.]
[You have obtained +5 INT and +30 FAPs]
[You have obtained the heart of Ouzal, the dungeon Boss.]
[You have completed the quest, Obtain the heart of Ouzal. Please submit it at the guild to receive the rewards.]
[You have obtained Fire Resistance passive(A).]
[Fire Resistance passive(A): 35% reduction in damage caused by fire elemental.]
[Detected that the player has cleared the special dungeon, Fire Salamander Dungeon, in nightmare mode.]
[You have gained the Dungeon Core of the Fire Salamander Dungeon.]
Once a person obtains ownership of a dungeon core, that person can relocate it to a place of their convenience. Once relocated, the place can't be changed either by the owner or the ownership inheritor. Only the ones who don't own the dungeon at the moment can relocate it again by gaining ownership by clearing the dungeon in nightmare mode, after the acceptance of the old owner.
[Fire Salamander Dungeon Core: As the owner of this dungeon core, once placed you can obtain various fire elemental resources and also can raise fire-based monsters for the purpose of training.]
[Player was first to clear ...in Nightmare mode and obtained its core. Do you want to announce your achievements to the world?]
"No".
No one is that insane to announce to the world that they obtained a dungeon core. It was like spotlighting himself for everyone out there to kill him and gain access to the dungeon core. He was not that stupid to announce something like this, even if he reached a few ranks above.
As he knew what kind of crisis was coming, drawing such kind of attention would only hinder his growth and would burn away most of his time as he had to take care of the problems that come with such fame.
[The player has decided not to announce his achievements. You have gained a golden box and a +100 reputation.]
"The benefits that came this time are very good. Though there was no skill book, what I got was much more precious than that. I directly got a passive fire immunity skill, which is much appreciated. Unlike the skill books, which can be sold to others, by this method, the skill won't be transferred to others.
I believe it happens only in special dungeons. So to gain the benefits, you have to go through the dungeon and complete it. This was the only way".
"Though the achievement rewards are not good as always. Let's see what I would get from the golden box. Open Golden Box".
[You have obtained Talent upgrade stone (A)]
[Talent upgrade stone (A): Can be used to upgrade a talent that is below A-grade to a maximum reach of A level.]
"Wow, I got a talent upgrade stone. It's good that I obtained an A-grade one. If it was C or below one, it would be useless for now. Let's use it now".
"Use the Talent upgrade stone on Space Difference talent"
[Talent upgrade stone is consumed.]
[The talent Space Difference (C) upgraded to Space Difference (A)]
[Space Difference(A): The effect of all space spells increased by 45%.]
"Now let's check my status before I record the runes here in the room and leave the dungeon".
"Status".
