The place they finalized as the site was a ginormous plateau that didn\'t need much terraforming to construct the entire shelter on top of it.

A mountain range was adjacent to the left of the plateau where numerous dungeon portals had materialized over the passage of a dozen years. Many of them were permanent dungeons that released countless dungeon beasts every now and then.

Thus, the mountain range had turned into a place that was fully claimed by more or less powerful monsters. Nial wanted to make use of that since the Originals willing to populate the new shelter would have to get their hands on beasts to hunt them. Dungeons and beasts were present in abundance in the mountain range and it wouldn\'t be a problem to become rich by adventuring through the mountain range for a single hunt.

Interestingly enough, the dungeon beasts steered clear of the humongous plateau which was another reason for him and the others to think that something about the plateau was special.

They were certain that some powerful beast was in control of the dungeon but they had yet to discover its identity. That was also why their next plan was to bait the overlord of the humongous plateau to defeat it and claim the plateau for themselves.

Other than the mountain range that bordered the northern and western areas of the plateau, there was also a huge forest with evergreen nature around. The flora and fauna flourished due to the naturally high life force that could be found there.

Many Fae were likely to be living in the evergreen forest, which was exactly what Master Crevian wanted to make use of by planting the fragment of Yggdrasil\'s branch in the center of the new shelter. Nial was fine with that and he supported Master Crevian\'s idea without thinking too much about it.

Other than the evergreen forest and the long-winded mountain range there was also a Savannah region where traces of artificially created tunnels had been found. The scouts presumed that another race intended to construct their shelter in the Savannah and that conflicts between the two shelters might arise once they start their respective construction.

Nial was also fine with that. He had already expected a bunch of people to attack him either way. There was no way that he would flee from his opponents, which was also why he chose to make use of the mountain-range to build his own little army of beasts.

He might have collected enough resources to construct the foundation and the core area of the shelter but the shelter would always require more and more resources.

Thus, it was only obvious that Nial required a dungeon conquest team to regularly raid a bunch of high-ranked dungeons and collect the resources they needed.

That was what Nial did by turning Kaeldur, Tyrant and Ryu into the leaders of their own group before he began to catch one powerful dungeon beast after another the moment they reached the mountain-range region next to the soon-to-be construction site of his own shelter.

After discussing plans with Ophelia, her brother, the Dracos Leader and Master Crevian for quite a while, he had traveled to the humongous plateau to visualize everything for himself as well.

Being at the Keltia rank with the highest possible potential and by exerting the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique, Nial could easily travel thousands of kilometers in an hour.

"Is that all you guys were able to bring?" Nial wondered when his two Devils and Ryu returned with their first living prey. He had been busy imagining, or rather visualizing the construction process of the shelter, starting from the most central point of the humongous plateau. That way, they could expand more than a thousand kilometers in each direction and keep adding buildings if necessary.

The shelter could turn into a metropolis housing billions, maybe even tens or hundreds of billions if necessary. Of course, it would take a while to reach these numbers, especially since they had yet to start constructing. But the construction process was something the others would have to pay the most attention to, either way.

His knowledge as a Runicier might be required for the most important tasks since he and Ophelia were the most knowledgable and experienced Runiciers present, but they would have to leave a leeway to engrave even higher-ranked runic constellations on the raw materials to make sure that they could always upgrade the shelter in the future since they were not yet Saint Runiciers.

The Army of Dracos would have to travel a little bit longer to reach the humongous plateau since none of them was as fast as NIal. Thus, he made use of that to pick up some living beasts, which included the three Deux-ranked beasts that had ended up in front of Nial just now.

Kaeldur, Tyrant, and Ryu brought back the same kind of monster, some sort of winged ape that was three meters tall and covered in long fur. Their muscles were well-defined and their long feathery wings had a wingspan of over 15 meters. Though their flying speed was on the lower side, Nial was not worried.

\'Even if they don\'t seem special, they can turn into my working force…they can easily mine minerals, collect corpses, or turn into lumberjacks!\' Nial nodded his head in satisfaction once he figured out a suitable task to assign to the winged Apes and he began to use Dominion using his dark energy to amplify the ability.

He altered the winged Apes\' mind only slightly to make sure that they would follow Ryu and his two Devils with unwavering loyalty. That cost him quite a bit of dark energy but it was certainly worth it since it was a permanent alteration.

"Bring me more of those bastards, and pick up other dungeon beasts while you hunt living prey as well!" Nial ordered just to sit down on the ground where he practiced the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique without a worry.

He could replenish his dark energy in the most efficient way through the cultivation technique, especially since the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique created an actual vortex with the dark energy inside his Sea of Darkness. It pulled the mana in his proximity to him and his body absorbed it instantaneously before turning it into dark energy.

Using this tactic, Nial replenished his dark energy before permanently altering the mind of the new prey his Devils and Ryu brought over. It was a smooth process in which Nial didn\'t even lose any dark energy since he had replenished it so quickly.

That way, an army of several thousand Deux-ranked dungeon beasts had been created when the Army of Dracos arrived with thousands of Elves and hundreds of Shelturion by their side.

Nial smiled lightly when he noticed how baffled some Originals were to see him easily control thousands of powerful dungeon beasts but he didn\'t pay it more attention than necessary.

"Shall we start building the shelter?"
