Rise Of The Powerful Husband 195
The hunters stumbled into the second floor, their bodies worn from the harrowing battle they had just survived. The passage had been a narrow, winding tunnel, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side. As they emerged into the new chamber, they instinctively spread out, taking in their surroundings with wary eyes. The second floor was a vast, open space, vastly different from the claustrophobic cave below. The ceiling was high, shrouded in shadows that gave the impression of endless height. The walls were smooth, almost polished, and they gleamed with an unnatural light that seemed to emanate from within the stone itself. The floor was flat and covered in a thin layer of dust, undisturbed by any signs of previous visitors. There was an eerie silence in the chamber, broken only by the hunters’ heavy breathing and the faint echoes of their footsteps as they fanned out, weapons drawn. The air was thick with tension, the kind that came with the knowledge that danger c

The air was thick with the sounds of battle—the clang of steel, the crackle of magic, and the guttural roars of the goblins as they fought with savage ferocity.The hunters fought together against the powerful goblins who proved themselves difficult to slay as they craftily weakened the hunters with each moves, making them grow tired pretty quickly. William, meanwhile, was engaged in a battle of his own. The three goblins surrounding him were relentless, their attacks coming from all angles as they tried to overwhelm him. But William was calm, his mind clear and focused despite the chaos around him. He moved with a deadly grace, his sword flashing as he deflected and countered each strike with precision.One of the goblins lunged at him, its sword aimed at his throat. William sidestepped the attack, spinning on his heel to bring his own blade down on the goblin’s exposed back. The creature howled in pain as the sword bit deep, but before it could recover, William was already moving

After a few minutes, William straightened, sheathing his sword as he addressed the group. "It’s time. Let’s find the entrance to the next floor."The hunters nodded in agreement, their determination renewed by William’s words. Despite the exhaustion that weighed heavily on their bodies, they knew they couldn’t afford to linger. The tower’s challenges were relentless, and the only way forward was through whatever trials awaited them on the next floor.They began to move through the chamber, carefully stepping over the bodies of the fallen goblins. The once fierce and terrifying creatures now lay still, their demonic weapons scattered across the bloodstained floor. The sight was a grim reminder of the battle they had just survived, but it also served as motivation. They had come this far, and they wouldn’t let anything stop them now.As they searched the chamber, their eyes scanning every corner for any sign of the entrance to the next floor, Mark spoke up. "There’s got to be somethin

They began their journey through the forest, the trees towering over them as they moved in a tight formation. The path was uneven, with roots and underbrush making it difficult to navigate, but they pressed on, their senses alert for any sign of danger.As they walked, William reached into his pack and pulled out some food rations he had stored. The battle had drained their energy, and they needed to keep their strength up for what was to come."Here," he said, passing the rations around. "Eat up. We’ll need our energy."The hunters took the food gratefully, chewing on the dried meat and fruit as they continued their journey. The forest was quiet, almost eerily so, and the only sounds were the crunch of leaves underfoot and the occasional snap of a twig.After a few hours of walking, the trees began to thin, and the air grew colder. The sense of foreboding that had hung over them since entering the forest grew stronger, and the hunters knew they were getting close.When they finally r

William focused on one of the heads that had become too aggressive, its jaws snapping at him repeatedly. He baited it with a feint, drawing it in closer before lunging forward with a powerful slash. His sword, glowing with crimson energy, sliced through the thick scales, embedding itself deep into the serpent’s flesh. The head reared back, shrieking in pain, but William wasn’t done. He twisted the blade, channeling his blood magic into the wound, causing it to erupt in a shower of dark blood.The serpent roared in agony, thrashing wildly as it tried to dislodge William’s blade. But William held on, determined to finish the job. He summoned a spear made of blood magic in his free hand, its tip glowing with a deadly light. With a shout, he drove the spear into the serpent’s eye, piercing through the vulnerable organ and into the brain behind it.The head convulsed violently before finally going limp, its lifeless body slumping to the ground with a heavy thud. One down.The hunters che

As William stepped through the portal, the world around him dissolved into a blur of light and energy. The sensation was disorienting, as if he were being pulled through a tunnel at breakneck speed, but it lasted only a moment. When the light faded, he found himself standing in a place that defied all sense of reality.The ground beneath his feet was blackened and cracked, as if the very earth had been scorched by an unrelenting fire. Flames flickered and danced across the landscape, casting an eerie, orange glow that bathed everything in a hellish light. The air was thick with heat, and the smell of sulfur and burning flesh hung heavy in the air, making it difficult to breathe.All around them, the landscape stretched out in a twisted, nightmarish expanse. Jagged mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks wreathed in fire and smoke. Rivers of molten lava snaked through the land, their glowing currents radiating an intense heat that made the skin prickle. And everywhere they l

In the inferno purgatory, Willaim and the hunters heard a very loud shriek that pierce through the core of emotions and inflicts all sort of negative emotions, including fears. William quickly pun around, his eyes scanning the horizon for the source of the noise. The flames flickered and danced in the distance, casting long shadows across the cracked ground, but there was nothing else in sight.But then the shadows began to move.From the darkness between the flames, figures began to emerge. At first, they were little more than dark shapes, but as they drew closer, their forms became clearer. They were tall, towering over the hunters, with long, tattered robes that billowed around them like smoke. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but their eyes—glowing a sickly green—burned with a cold, unholy light.Each figure carried a massive scythe, the blades glinting wickedly in the firelight. They moved with a slow, deliberate grace, their skel

The robotic voice barely finished speaking when the ground beneath the hunters began to tremble violently. Before they could react, the floor cracked open beneath their feet, creating a gaping tunnel that spiraled downward into darkness. Without a moment’s hesitation, William shouted, “Into the tunnel! Move!”The hunters, their instincts honed by the countless battles they had fought, didn’t waste time questioning. They jumped into the tunnel, their bodies sliding down the smooth, obsidian-like surface as the walls blurred past them. The descent was steep, and the sensation of speed was dizzying, but none of them allowed fear to take hold. They knew that whatever awaited them at the end of this tunnel was the final challenge of the tower.The tunnel seemed to stretch on endlessly, the darkness oppressive and suffocating. But far ahead, a faint light appeared, growing brighter as they drew closer. The sight of it brought a spark of hope to the hunters—they were nearing the end.Howeve

The world had changed, but it was slowly mending. The scars left by the apocalypse were deep, and the memories of those harrowing days would never truly fade, but humanity was resilient. Two weeks had passed since the hunters had emerged victorious from the Death Tower, and in that short time, the earth had already begun to heal.The sky was a clear blue, the clouds soft and white, drifting peacefully above a world that had been plunged into darkness for so long. The air, once thick with the stench of decay and the virus that had plagued humanity, was now clean and fresh, a reminder of the life that had been restored. Birds, absent during the apocalypse, had returned, their songs filling the air with a sense of normalcy that had been absent for far too long.The government, once crippled by the chaos, had reestablished itself. Leaders who had survived the ordeal stepped forward, determined to rebuild the world that had been nearly destroyed. They worked tirelessly, organizing effo

William blinked as the light surrounding him began to fade, the familiar, comforting warmth of reality returning to him.The oppressive darkness and twisted landscape were gone, replaced by the cool air and the solid ground beneath his feet.He felt the weight of exhaustion settle over him, but with it came a profound sense of relief. He had won.As his vision cleared, William found himself standing at the entrance of the Death Tower, the same place where their perilous journey had begun. He wasn’t alone. Around him, the surviving hunters appeared, emerging from their own battles, their faces a mixture of disbelief, exhaustion, and profound relief.They were fewer in number—much fewer. What had once been a group of sixty had been reduced to a small, ragged handful. They looked at each other, their eyes wide with surprise and then, slowly, with growing joy as they realized what had happened. They had survived. They had made it out alive.Carson was the first to speak, his voice hoars

William stared at the figure before him, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the twisted reflection standing just a few paces away. The smirk on the doppelganger's face was chilling, filled with an arrogance and darkness that William recognized but had never embraced himself. This was not just a reflection; it was something far more sinister. "Who are you?" William demanded, his voice steady, though the unease gnawed at him. "Why do you look like me?" The doppelganger tilted its head slightly, the smirk widening. "I am the Dark One," it said, its voice a distorted echo of William's own. "The force behind the apocalypse, the one who brought chaos and ruin to your world." William’s eyes widened in shock, and then narrowed in anger. "You... You’re the one who unleashed the zombies, who turned the world into a living nightmare?" His grip tightened on his sword, the blade beginning to glow faintly with the power of his blood magic. "Why? Why would you do something so monstrous?

After venturing into the portal, the fate of all the hunters were left in their own hands. Each of them were sent to a new world to face a different challenge. A large numbers of the hunters died the moment they appeared!Some fought with their last bits of strengths, the zeal to survive pushing them further. Nevertheless most of them were unable to wrestle against their own fate. Some like Carson and Gregor survived. A lot faced unfortunate deaths, their fates ended! This was the job of the death tower after all. ....Mark found himself standing in a desolate wasteland, the ground cracked and barren, with jagged rocks jutting out of the earth like broken teeth. The sky above was a swirling mass of dark clouds, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur. There was no sign of life, no movement, only the oppressive silence of a world that had been long abandoned."Where am I?" Mark muttered to himself, his hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of his sword. He looked aroun

Gregor awoke to a world of fire and smoke. The ground beneath him was hot, the air thick with ash and the smell of burning flesh. He groaned as he pushed himself to his feet, his body aching from the strain of the previous battles. But as he looked around, he realized that he was alone.“Carson? William?” he called out, but his voice was swallowed by the roar of the flames that surrounded him.He was standing in the middle of a volcanic wasteland, the ground cracked and scorched, with rivers of molten lava flowing through the fissures. The sky above was a dark, stormy gray, with ash and embers swirling in the air like a deadly blizzard. In the distance, he could see massive volcanic peaks, their slopes glowing with the intense heat of the lava flows.There was no sign of his comrades, no trace of the others who had fought by his side. Gregor clenched his fists, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. “Where am I? What is this place?”But there was no time for a

As the hunters leaped into the light, they felt a sudden, jarring sensation as if the very fabric of reality had shifted around them. The blinding brightness enveloped them, and for a moment, it felt as though they were floating in an endless void. But then, just as quickly, the sensation ended, and they found themselves standing on solid ground once more.The light receded, and with it, the warmth that had surrounded them. Each of them opened their eyes to a new reality—one that was far from the serene landscape they had glimpsed before. Instead, they were plunged into separate worlds, each one a twisted, chaotic reflection of the challenges they had already faced. And worst of all, they were alone.Carson blinked, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was standing in a dense forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. The trees were gnarled and twisted, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the
