Seemingly, the last floor of the Beast Dungeon was like an underground city, not in terms of the size but the sheer number of facilities that were available.There were hotels, inns, bars, restaurants, and so on.However, what shocked Jim and everyone was that most of the people living on the fourth floor were not humans. They were all reptilians who looked very scary, as if they can’t wait to mess with new humans.Then again, there were those that were smiling pleasantly.The humans they initially found on the fourth floor weren’t alone. They all had these reptilians latch onto their backs like how an adult would sit on another adult’s back. And these humans did not look healthy at all. They didn’t even seem to be in their right mind. They appeared weaker and worse than drug addicts because the reptilians sitting on their backs were leeching their energies continually.It seemed like every man was for themselves on this floor. After all, there were no human groups. In fact, Jim and o
The reptilian just leaped, and it moved so fast that Scarlet couldn’t even see her movement.Heath’s sensitive and sharp eyes were able to see its movements, but his body still wasn’t fast enough to react in time. He thought he’d lose Scarlet there and then, but the reptilian’s body froze midway.“Ah?” the reptilian looked baffled as to why it couldn’t move its body. It took a second to realize that Jim had used his power to stop its movement, though only for a couple of seconds.But that was more than enough for Scarlet and Heath to launch their attacks. Together, their thunderflame attack struck the reptilian, but his body was able to absorb it completely, shocking everyone there.“Thanks for the snack,” the reptilian evilly grinned. “Flames spread out, and lightning concentrates at one point. It created flames in one hand, and lightning in the other hand. “When you combine these two, what comes out is so destructive it’s beyond understanding.” It clapped its hands, creating blue fl
Doug and Ace were thinking of running away after Jim won the battle against the monstrous reptilian which had weird abilities.However, Jim asked the other reptilians that were watching from a distance. “Who else wants to fight?” His gaze was still sharp. He clearly meant his words and looked like someone who wouldn’t hesitate to destroy anyone that opposed him.One of the reptilians with an octopus face and a beard that looked like many tentacles, stepped forward and took out a small card. “This is your ticket to the fourth floor. If you keep heading forward, you’ll find stairs. Show this card, and the keeper will let you and your friends go upstairs.”Jim couldn’t trust the words of the reptilian, but he still talked with it. “So the condition to earn this ticket is to defeat one of the reptilians?”“No, there is no condition,” the reptilian said. “We give way to those we want to, and we block the way of those we want, too. That’s all. Nothing more. Nothing less.”“What made you giv
On the fourth floor of the Beast Dungeon.A one-eyed man was interrogating a vampiric woman with glowing brown eyes and large fangs. “Tell us that bastard’s location.” He cut her ears first, then fingers, and nose and so on, but that woman did not answer. He stabbed her shoulder, abdomen and more. Still, she didn’t answer.He grew tired of her and then stabbed her heart. She cursed him before losing her life.He wiped the blood off the blade with her skirt.“Lord Nero!” Just then, an underling came rushing over. “Jim the Hero is on his way to this floor. He’s climbing the stairs now along with all his friends. Not a single one died on the hidden floor.”“What?” Nero, the dungeon manager, frowned. The right half of his body was machine from head to toe. “He managed to move past the reptilians so fast?”Nero also known as Mr. Beast was the manager of the whole dungeon. He was the person who previously fought Jim by manipulation a man that was experimented with werewolf genes on the firs
By the time Jim and others reached the fourth floor, it was about six o’clock in the evening.The fourth floor was not a big place. It looked like they were all inside of a giant cave.There were only rooms and huge corridors, and the ceiling was only forty feet high.Almost every room in sight was locked.“Is this really the fourth floor?” Doug wondered, clearly feeling anxious. “It feels more like the first floor, though there are multiple pathways to choose from. We didn’t come to the first floor, right?”His words made others feel tense, too.“This isn't the first floor,” Bald Brute said. “This is the fourth floor. I heard that from this floor onward, we don’t have to fight each other, and we should only focus on getting recruited. I was told that there’d be auction halls where you can sell yourself to the Eight clans of Beast Brotherhood. Or, there are fighting halls where you can fight the Rankers there and attract the attention of the brokers who’ll then help you fetch a greate
Jim and others entered the inn, which was the same inn where Demon Dwarf regularly visited.The humanoid lizard was the only person currently inside the inn. He was also the owner and the server.“Welcome to Lizard’s Inn, Mr. Jim,” the reptilian-like lizard of the inn owner said with a smile, though smiling wasn’t exactly their forte. In fact, the reptilians were incapable of displaying human emotions on a wide scale. For instance, they were incapable of blushing.At this point, nobody was surprised that this random innkeeper knew Jim’s name.Jim and others sat down at different armless chairs.“Do you want strong wine or strong food, or both?” the innkeeper asked.“Can we get anything in this place that isn’t adulterated with human flesh, blood, or feces?” Scarlet asked.“Hahaha,” the innkeeper laughed. “Everything in my inn is purely as it seems. There are no hidden things because I believe that being natural is the best. You don’t add or subtract anything from nature, and you’ll en
After spending some time in the inn, Jim and others moved on to other rooms.Most of the rooms were locked, so they had to pick the ones that were open. There were some people living in some of these rooms, having fun one way or another. There were those who lost themselves in alcohol, drugs, and sex. There were some that were playing games online.Did all these people also make it to the fourth floor? Jim didn’t know because neither Joker nor Scarlet or others in his team recognized any of these people.They came across some men in the corridor, but none of them seemed friendly. They didn’t say a word and just walked by.It was really weird the way these people acted. Something about them gave Jim the feeling that they were not in their right minds. It’s as if some part of their souls had been permanently damaged.Jim kept walking, and they soon reached the Auction Hall whose doors were wide open. The hall was almost 6000 sq ft in area, and there were more than a hundred people curre
The audience in the auction hall saw the old auction manager sweating and were astonished by it. How come the old man who was a veteran warrior who had endured many battles in his long life be afraid of such a young man?“Master Vince is sweating?”“He looks like he’s unable to move. What the hell is going on?”Many people in the audience didn’t even get what was happening.Nero, however, was analyzing what was happening with his machine eye. “He’s using his psychic vivre to put pressure on the opponent’s nerves. Because it is psychic vivre, it’s not easily perceivable. It can easily enter the body and affect the nerves and thus the brain. It can both soothe and terrify someone as per your wish. Vince probably took a while to realize that it was actually Jim’s psychic energy that is oppressing him. He’s definitely capable of fighting back against that level of oppressive mental energy, so why isn’t he fighting back?”Just then, Nero realized that Vince and Jim had their eyes locked.“
