2024-10-29 19:42:56Everyone in Arthur's party jumped into the black hole with their eyes closed. The space around the team twisted as soon as they jumped through the portal and their bodies entered an endless and vast void of darkness, then, in an explosion of light their bodies which were suspended in mid-air was instantly teleported to the dungeon.
When Arthur and the others opened their eyes and looked around, they found themselves in a dimly lit cave with just a few torches hung on the walls, their flames nearly extinguished. [Welcome Players to Desolated Soul Dungeon!] [Dungeon Difficultly - High] [Reward For Clearing Dungeon - All Party Members Receive: Random Item Spawn(1) ; 5000 Battle Experience ; Random Skill Spawn] [Penalty For Inability To Clear Dungeon - Death] Everyone in Arthur's party had the transparent golden screen appear before their eyes. Their pupils contracted as everyone read what was on the rectangular screen before them. High Difficulty! This was definitely a C-ranked Dungeon! "Okay, before we blindly rush into the dungeon… Does anyone know anything about this dungeon we're going into?" Drake asked as he raised his brows and eyed the side of Arthur's face with a frown on his face. He wasn't dumb enough to face unnecessary trouble that could be avoided with important information. Arthur who felt the intense gaze coming from the male besides him could only roll his eyes in his heart letting out a soft sigh. After a split second, he opened his mouth to speak in a soft voice. "First things first, we must first defeat all of the dungeon guardians. A couple of Mortal Realm Lionakes, two of the are at Level 5 and the leader is at Level 6." Arthur said with a frown as he crouched down to the ground and gently began to draw something on the stone floor with his index finger, "The native monsters of this dungeon are Stone Hooves which are around Levels 3 - 4, and the boss is a powerful Level 10 monster… Iron Hooves." Everyone stared at what he was drawing on the floor, unable to comprehend it, they rolled their eyes and looked away. Only Felicia kept staring, trying her best to understand it. 'A Magic Circle? Wait… This b*stard is doodling nonsense!' Felicia sneered in her heart. She did not believe that someone like Arthur would be able to derive a stable magic circle from this. Arthur continued to 'doodle' a random Divine Grade technique on the ground without lifting his head, not bothering to hide it as he knew that the people around him wouldn't understand the complex technique. He was focused on recalling the information of the monsters in this dungeon in his head. A few more mistakes, and he would forget everything. He would definitely return later with a stronger force, and try once more. Just as he finished that thought, he completely recalled the details of all the monsters he'd encountered in the past. First were the Lionakes: Strange hybrid monsters with the upper body of a lion and the lower body of a metallic serpent. They hunt in groups or solo, depending on the prey and predator. They have good strength and average speed. Stone Hooves: Hybrid monster with the upper body of lion and the lower body of a horse which seems made out of stone. Iron Hooves was nearly the same as Stone Hooves but it's lower body of a horse wasn't made out of stone, but metal. Though they both seemed to be of the same race, Iron Hooves were naturally stronger and higher levelled then Stone Hooves. Despite everything, Stone Hooves had high endurance, defence and strength in numbers which is enough to thrash Arthur, and even some low levelled awakened. Currently, Arthur's team had an archer at Lv2, a mage at Lv3, thief at Lv2, knight at Lv4, and the leader who was warrior also at Lv4. With the vast differences in strength levels, it would be impossible for any one of them to clear the dungeon alone no matter how many trump cards they have under their sleeves. When they formed a team, the strength they could unleash would not pale in comparison to that of a monster at Level 10! This was enough strength to take on dungeons like this with ease. That is, if they are prepared and cooperative. It wouldn't be any difficult for just one of them to survive to the end with the others as backup. "We should think of a good plan that'll benefit all of us." Lilith butt in with her eyes showing her worry and concern not towards just the others, but herself. If the mission went south, the very first to be left behind might be her! She lacked stamina or strength to fight monsters in close combat or run for long distances. A weak constitution would get her nowhere unless she had a team acting cover to unleash her potential. "Our plan is simple: We would charge right into their den and wipe them out!" Arthur said as he got up from his crouching position and gave Felicia a glance before turning his back to the others and opening his mouth to speak, "I and Drake would strike head on, acting as team vanguards. Felicia will stay at the rear, backing up our retreat and protecting the thief whose job is to grab loot as we move. Lilith will act as support, giving the vanguards buffs and heals." Everyone nodded their heads immediately after Arthur finished speaking before suddenly taking their positions. Felicia who had to stand besides the perverted thief sighed in her heart but didn't complain— Yet. "Hi Babe, how about I treat you to dinner after all this?" Aaron said as he nudged the elf who was an inch taller than him with his elbow. He had a silly smile on his face as she glared down at him. "Treat your mother to dinner you moron!" Felicia snapped, fighting the urge to send Aaron flying with a single slap and focusing her gaze on the darkness ahead. She had to control herself. "How long do we have to wait before they finally get here?" Lilith said as she waved her staff and arms around, warming up for the imminent clash with the Lionakes. "I don't know… Maybe a couple of minutes… Or…" Arthur's eyes suddenly widened as a sudden feeling of danger swept over him, making his heart tighten as his pupils contracted for a split second. "Holy—! They're here!" The earth behind Drake sunk in before suddenly protruding, as if something was trying to jump out of it. The protrusion wasn't difficult for one to miss if they were vigilant enough. "Drake! Behind you! Aaron yelled at his comrade when he saw the strange phenomenon behind the unsuspecting Drake, the worry in his eyes wasn't concealed in the slightest. The earth behind Drake swelled tremendously before suddenly exploding without any warning. "Damn it!" Drake cursed as he leaped away to evade getting blasted to pieces by the strange explosion that occurred earlier. Only a few wild shards of stone and debris had cut across his skin. Lillith frown upon seeing all these, her gaze sharpened as she stared into the large hole created from the explosion with a pondering expression. Suddenly, her face paled as she leaped away, opening her mouth to warn the others, "Lionakes! Everyone get ready for combat!" Drake who heard this frowned before turning around with a strange glow in his eyes. He turned to see something leaping out of the hole to land just metres before him. He smiled awkwardly. The creature he faced was a bit strange. It was a monster with the upper body of a fierce lion with glistening golden fur, but the lower body of a snake having shiny black scales. Towering over 4 metres, the large monster stared down upon the party like a hungry predator about to devour a fat and lonely prey. It was a powerful Lionake! It's name and level was hovering over it's head boldly for everyone to see. [Lionake Guard (Level 7) - Awakened] "Damn, it's a Level 7! Did it get stronger or is the information Arthur dropped wrong?" Aaron cried out from behind as he saw the level of his enermy, he didn't know what to do in this situation. If the other Lionakes were summoned, then they would be surrounded. Leaving this place or even breaking out of an encirclement with the Level 7 on their neck would be nearly impossible. Drake charged towards the monster, and leaped into the air directly at it's face with his hands on the hilt of his sword as he twisted his wrist. The sharp blade of his sword was swung at the large Lionake — it ripped through the air and smashed on the monster's face. A small shockwave bloomed as Drake was fired away and sent hurtling into a wall. Although he was flung away like a rag doll, he still had his grip around his sword tightened! As for the Lionake, a large gash was left across it's face. It bled a strange purplish blood, but in the next split second, the bleeding stopped and his wound healed completely. It's eyes gleamed in a blinding red light as it set it's eyes on the fidgeting Lilith. It roared crazily before charging over at a shocking speed for it's large size. It had been enraged by Drake's attack. "Lillith! Cast a [Feral Strength] buff on me! We'll chip at it's strength, then I'll take it down in one strike!" Arthur spoke in a grim voice as he leapt forward with his sword gripped tightly in his right hand. A bright red light engulfed his body, and in the next second his running speed tripled! [Feral Strength cast on Player @Arthur!] [All stats received a thirty percent increase!] "That's impossible! You can't defeat a level 7 awakened with your strength alone! It hasn't even revealed it's strength yet, but was able to take out Drake in one strike!" Aaron yelled, veins popping out of his head as he widened his eyes. "Shut up!" Drake's voice was heard, and he slowly climbed out of the wall he was smashed into, "We will deal with it, or have you forgotten how strong we are?" "But— But!" "Shut up!" Felicia smacked the back of Aaron's head with her brows knitted. She seemed to be quivering, but managed to keep her cool, and tried believing in the strength of the two battle freaks. Arthur roared like a mad wolf as he leaped ahead to attack the Lionake. His skin gleamed in a soft metallic light, a simple side effect of the [Feral Strength] skill that granted him higher defence and strength for a few short seconds. If the monster gets by him, the others would face instant defeat. It's strength would be too strong for anyone to handle, since it had defeated Arthur and Drake without much effort. 'Chop it down! I'm going to chop it down before it gets to the others!' Arthur grabbed his sword with both hands and furrowed his brows as he was shot into the air after his leap. He raised his sword mid-air and hacked down at the approaching Lionake — the blade of his sword turned into a blinding light as it was dragged down and blasted into the Lionake's head. His blade tore through the Lionake's head like butter, cleaving it into two perfect halves. All the spectators were stunned wtching Arthur as he split the head of an awakened easily. "Don't just stand there! Drake, come over here and let's finish this thing!"

Arthur leaped away from the roaring Lionake, his eyes gleaming in a strange light. He had used all of his strength to injure it, and needed to dash off to regain energy before the monster lashed out. Arthur landed gracefully on the ground just a few metres away from the crazed Lionake. Its head was cleaved in two, and it was regenerating at a slower pace than earlier. "Damn it! It wasn't so tough when I used to trash it effortlessly in the past!" Arthur frowned deeply, his energy was depleted but regenerating slowly, but it wasn't enough. Unless he wanted to feed himself to the beast, he needed to be decisive. "Don't worry Arthur, I'll attack it too! We'll all end it here!" Drake shouted as he dashed forward at a crazed speed, dragging his sword behind him as he closed up the distance between the Lionake and himself. As soon as he got close enough, he threw himself at the target. He planned to chip away at the enemy's health until it was weak enough for them to one-shot it. I

Arthur charged again, this time his speed was more than a little bit faster than before. A smile appears on his face as he suddenly yeeted himself directly at the Lionake, his sword gripped tightly. "Die!" Arthur spun himself mid air, using his strength to drag his sword to follow his momentum. His whole body exploded with energy as he spun his blade mid-air to attack his enemy. The Lionake had already regenerated half of his face, and had completely regenerated all wounds it had on it's scales. Arthur deduced that it must be tired, and he could take it down easily. The Lionake raised it's hands quickly and slashed at Arthur with it's massive claws, it's aura still wild and crazed with rage. Slithering away with it's regeneration nearly complete— it opened it's mouth and roared madly. Arthur's pupils shrank into needle points as the ripples caused by the sudden paw attack from the Lionake took form into massive claws. It was able to easily teae through the air as it flew to
Limitless Ascension Supremacy Battling The Hunter: Killing A Monster With One Strike
The team were already a few dozen metres into the dungeon, encountering nothing but pathetic Lionakes. The Lionakes yielded very little XP, which amounts to nothing to the team. As of now, only Drake had levelled up. Lilith and Aaron were at the bottle neck, and Felicia was not even close to levelling up. Arthur only engaged in one or two skirmishes, hence, his paused advance. He was close to his bottleneck, but since he had not much kills except the guard, he couldn't level up. Arthur had promised himself to breakthrough to the next level, and he is still disciplining his tired self to get active and advance. "Arthur, you haven't been taking down any of the Lionakes. Aaron has been stealing most of your kills for a long while now." Felicia threw a glance in Arthur's direction, and raised her brow, "Are you okay? You still look a bit pale." Arthur blinked, then hacked down a Lionake with his brows furrowed. The Lionake granted him just 100XP, a simply pathetic sum for someone l
Limitless Ascension Supremacy Compared To What I've Faced, You All Are Just Too Weak
Arthur hid behind a cluster of dead shrubs and rocks, assessing the situation before him with a frown on his face. After a few seconds of watching, he glanced at a frozen Lilith who was crouched besides him. Stunned, he raised his hand and tapped her lightly on her shoulder. She woke up from her daze instantly, but didn't make a sound. As soon as her brain processed what had happened, she grinned awkwardly. Arthur shook his head and went back to surveying the monsters closely. The two Lionake Hunters and Stone Hooves seemed to be in some sort of strange haphazard formation. The Lionake Infantry crawled around aimlessly, but seemed to be at elevated alert. A dungeon is divided into four parts — The Gates, The Domain, and The Boss Chamber. Clearing an entire dungeon could take from hours, to weeks or months of endless battles and deaths. Each dungeon having it's own unique monsters and castes. Dungeons are classified into 7 levels — E level, D level, C level, B level, A level, S le
Limitless Ascension Supremacy Competing For XP!
Drake's sword connected, and in a flash of light tore through the rocky neck of the monster! The head of the Stone Hooves was severed from it's body, and fell to the ground with a thud. "It's dead!" Drake exclaimed as soon as the head of the beast rolled down to the ground and came to a slow halt a few metres away. His palms were sweaty, and his back aching, but he still marched on! He dashed towards the other monster and hacked at it's neck with his skill still active. Unlike before when he was unable to harm the Stone Hooves, he could finally slash them! Soon, the two Stone Hooves were dead and their death earned Drake a total of 3000 XP! It was a large sum for such weak kills. It was only this easy because Aaron told him about their weakness. If he had not known, killing the monsters would have been nothing short of a miracle. Not only were they as durable as the guard, they were also stronger than normal peasants. The group began their advance, running into a few more
Limitless Ascension Supremacy Battle Frenzy
Arthur regrouped with the others at the doors to the final dungeon. His body was ridden with a few wounds and bruises, but he was still as strong as a bull! Although, he couldn't enter the dungeon in his current state. Lilith had to heal everyone, then drink just a few Sun Vials to regenerate her Supreme Qi. After she was done, Lilith had everyone drink it except the resistant Arthur. She didn't bother persuading him, as Sun Vials were precious — even to her. "Okay danger alert. This domain we are about to waltz into is rated as a B rank by me. For a good reason that is." Arthur sheathed his sword and crouched, lowering himself so he could hunch over and touch the ground. Everyone seemed to be shocked after Arthur's revelation, particularly Aaron whose eyes shrank to needle points the second he heard Arthur. He seemed completely confused and a bit angry. Despite their mixed feelings, all of them did not say a word and just watched Arthur with flaring nostrils. Aaron's eyes seem
Limitless Ascension Supremacy Failure, Pain, Weakness
All the bones in his body seemed to have snapped at that moment, the pain he felt spiked and his aura was transformed from a calm shade of silver to a raging storm of wind, dust and aura. He felt as if all his muscles were being tugged on by a thousand angry babies, his veins seemed as if some unseen force was pulling them apart! It room him all his strength to swing his sword, to bring it down upon the enemy and finalize the battle. Or so he thought… Arthur's eyes widened as his sword crashed into the head of the the Iron Hooves Boss, and snapped! Pain engulfed Arthur as the rebound force from the strike travelled across his body in waves! His head seemed as if it was about to explode, and his limbs went limp. He was unable to guard himself, and all he could do was watch as he crashed into the walls of the domain. Breaking his back and all the bones in his body. [Awakening, Failed!] "Failed?" Arthur slid weakly down from the crater on the wall he created with his back, blood str
Limitless Ascension Supremacy Beating Up The Boss
Arthur dashed towards the boss monster, glaring into it's eyes as he weaved through the metal spikes which were fired at his face. He seemed determined to attack the monster without holding back his strength. Any metal spike he was unable to dodge, he punches them without hesitation! His punch coupled with his azure flames, would shatter the spike and send the shards flying to scattered directions! The power behind each of his punches were powerful, just a single strike now would deal ten times his usual damage. This also meant it drained ten times the SQ a usual attack would drain. "Heh heh!" Arthur's eyes gleamed in a demonic light as he leapt towards the Iron Hooves, brandishing his flaring fist as his aura exploded to shroud the entire arena in a sea of majestic azure flames. “Self Taught Azure Art — Azure Hell Fist!” All the heat in the atmosphere was sucked into his fist the second it was thrown out, causing the heated temperature of the area to descend into a freezing

Mylos clung unto the walls of a tall building, gazing past the massive fence to view the plethora of houses before him. With his demonic vision, he was able to see objects metres away as if they were just an inch away from him. "Just a few hunters patrolling by that alley to the west. I should be able to avoid them if I'm careful. What I need now is a place to stay the night." Mylos spoke softly with his head bowed in thought, and brows knitted. In his bag, he had some “credits” which humans deemed useful for transactions. He calculated having enough for more than a few months of rent, but decided on paying for just a few nights since he would be mobile. "I can also last some weeks more without any food, but I'll be forced to find a meal if I get too weak from these hunger pangs."

A young boy ran briskly through a forest with a frown on his extremely handsome face. He was wearing a plain black hoodie with the hood pulled over his head to cover his hair. Strapped to the side of waist was a sword still in it's sheath. Everytime the boy's feet landed on the ground, he would appear metres away in the distance like a phantom without even leaving an afterimage. It was as if he was using a strange version of teleportation. Chasing after him was a blue haired girl on a bike were a crop top and a short shirt. A large claymore was strapped to her back, but it wasn't sheathed, boldly displaying it's blade. The dark grey blade of the claymore which was riddled with glowing green runes gave off an intimidating and dangerous vibe to whoever set their eyes on it. From the size alone, one could only imagine how powerful the wielder must be to have the ability to use it in a battle. The forest today was exceptionally quiet except for some tweets from the scarce birds f

"Sit." Mylos blinked, then sat down on the chair facing that of his father. He stared into the man's eyes, his brows were furrowed and shoulders tense. He seemed anxious, but did not give himself away with any strange action. "Father, I—" The Chaos Eminence waved his hand, causing Mylos to shut his mouth and look away. After he had given his son the signal to shut his mouth, the Chaos Eminence drops his hand and laid it upon the table between them. "Don't bother yourself…" The Chaos Eminence sighed as he closed his eyes and laid back in his seat, "A large number of them had attacked the building you told me you would hide in. I guess, that was a very smart move." "No father. This has gotten to something beyond what I am able to handle."

“Clang!” Dancing under the moonlight, the sparks of their blades clashing lit up the scattered shadows. Blood was sprayed all over the auditorium walls, and charred markings were blasted all over the exquisite ornate doors. Dead bodies lay on the ground — most mutilated, while some were burnt to a crisp. Their swords were shattered and their armour rent with claw marks over the metallic surface of the metal. “Clang!” In this blood soaked scenery. The duo clashed without a second of relent, their attacks and counterattacks looked perfectly synched — fluid and graceful, without a second of hesitation or stagger, nor a shred of relent. After seconds of clashing fiercely, they pulled away and gave some space for breathing. Finally, the faces of both swordsmen were revealed as the gleam of the moonlight shone on them. "Haha! Sword Eminences are truly annoying creatures, I don't even have the chance to breath." Standing in the moonlight with his head slightly bowed, he grinned

Mylos had gotten himself accustomed to the relentless attacks from demons. He believed that they were drawn to his hidden ability somewhat, and must want it for their worthless selves. He could do nothing about it. "I have been promised ten thousand gold Yreo for your wretched head, youngling. It's a shame I was too late in reaching you, or you would have made me easy gold to last more than a few years." Mylos smirked coldly as he held his sword, not making a move as he scrutinized his opponent. Alas, his little head carried a heavy bounty which numerous hunters gunned for despite his status and reputation. For that only, he'd been constantly attacked by troupes of hunters in unison with the demons after his ability. He had never been allowed to rest with their targets behind him, and had been killing attackers left and right. Although he never thought that the demons would also gain a reward for hunting him. He believed that only the hunters from other dumb races were after his

Silence. The winds were agitated, and so were the steeds risen by the Imperial Flame Army. The vast plains was shrouded in an icy mist, and one could spot a few decapitated bodies scattered throughout the battlefield with a few limbs torn off. Holding the reins of his humble steed, Yin Huo who wore an emotionless mask, cast his gaze over the vast horizons. After a few seconds, he finally stabilised his armoured stallion was. "Esteemed Southern Commander, Yin Hou! We have already received estimates of the enemy's total forces." A short and stout bearded man who rode a dark stallion inched over and whispered in Yin Hou's ears, "The army seem to be marching over in this direction…" Yin Huo paused. His emotionless eyes suddenly began to flicker with a righteous light, and from those short flickers were birthed wild flames. "Heh." Yin Hou opened his mouth to speak in a deep and cold voice, his gaze held over the vast horizons, the plains devoid of human life or activity.
