           As soon as Morales came outside the small dungeon room, he immediately deduced that he was standing in a long corridor. The room where he was held was at the very end of the corridor.

           Through the light illumination, he noticed that the corridor stretched roughly to both sides like the internal belly of a dead anaconda.

           After observing his surrounding for a short moment without making it too obvious, he closed the door naturally like nothing was wrong. He started moving forward as smoothly as he could.

           He took all these counter-measures because he found out that security cameras were placed on both ends of the corridor.

           As he moved forward, he was surprised as he saw other prisoners who were held in this dungeon just like him. It seemed that he was the special one as all the other prisoners were held in a large row of regular dungeon cages.

           He was even more surprised as 3 of the prisoners he just passed were actually powerhouses above level 15. These were powerful forces if rallied together for an escape attempt.

           He was tempted to free them, but he did not as he was more confident in escaping alone. Setting others free would make his escape more chaotic.

           He did not know why but as he left, this dungeon looked more and more familiar to him. His brain could not pinpoint it exactly before he reached the gate leading outside the corridor.

           “Why are you coming alone? Where are the others?” The 2 agents stationed at the small gate asked him with a frown as they looked behind him but couldn’t see the others that he came with.

           “Open the gate for me, they are trying to secure the life of the execution target. I want to get a healer immediately, he tried to commit suicide”.

“The head protector would not be happy if she discovers that the young lord died in her absence because you people refused to let me call a healer”. As Morales replied to them, he shifted a little from the angle of the security camera.

Though the 2 agents felt that his voice sounded unfamiliar, they were not sure as only the leader of the 5 agents assigned to watch the young lord originally communicated with them.

They glowered a bit on hearing him threaten them, but they still stood up to open the gate. The name of the head dungeon protector was something terrifying to them.

As the first agent opened the gate with the key while the other one slowly applied force to drag it open, Morales finally acted.

His 2 daggers stabbed out like vipers, overwhelming and pinning his 2 targets to the metal gate. Though all the innate skill enhancements of the previous battle were gone, he still had the upper hand.

Hidden innate skills like adrenaline rush would reset when the user is out of combat. He knew all these rules, so he was prepared.

His interface lit up like crazy as his daggers stabbed at the 2 agents repeatedly in a blur, leaving their bodies full of holes like a sieve.

From the amount of experience that he received from this kill, he deduced that these 2 agents were stronger than the previous 5.

He disposed of the 2 agents’ 150 plus life in less than a second before quickly opening the gate and dragging their bodies to a place where the cameras could not reach.

After doing this, he patted his clothes calmly to remove any stains as the camera finally turned back to his angle. Not seeing anything suspicious, it moved on to another angle.

           He heaved a sigh of relief as he finally turned to go. Before he could place a leg out, his eyes suddenly twitched as he felt someone staring at him. He turned and saw the prisoner on the dungeon cage closest to him staring at him.

           He was shocked and alarmed; he didn’t know what to do. People in the dungeon cages were not supposed to see outside as inside was filled with blinding magic power, this man was surely special.

In the end, his panic was without basis. He didn’t even have to do anything as the man just nodded at him, indicating that he was free to escape.

           He made a thank you sign with his hand to the man before turning to leave. As he left, his heart was filled with shock because of the information that his interface just displayed to him.

___________________________

This man’s level and health points were actually all shown as question marks. This was all his interface could show him, which meant that this man was miles stronger than him.

“Is he already a grade E superhuman? How can someone so strong be restrained in this dungeon?” He was shocked, prompting him to analyze the reason for the man being here.

He could not come to a quick verdict, so he just forgot it as he had more important things to do.

On arriving outside the gate, he was stunned as he finally knew why this place looked familiar.

“I actually transmigrated to the dungeon of madness!” He was shocked as he took in the familiar sight before him.

This dungeon originally didn’t have a name, but the players named it the dungeon of madness because of its random characteristics.

According to some players, the owner of the dungeon was so strong that she had a lot of strong subordinates following her.

Because of this, player guilds could not get real winning strategies to clear it as the final boss of the dungeon is always different every time.

Though this place was a dangerous dungeon to the current him, Morales heaved a sigh of relief as this was familiar territory.

“Hey, you, why are you just standing there? Where are your fellow agents?” One man playing cards at a table with some others suddenly asked him this, drawing the attention of everyone in the dungeon hall.

Morales didn’t answer, instead, he turned to move directly to the exit direction that he remembered. He moved faster as after checking through his interface, he knew that this man was an elite agent.

“Hey, I’m talking to you. Come here, now!!” The man said with a more authoritative and irritated tone while standing up to emphasize his point.

Seeing this, Morales suddenly went on the run as his figure moved swiftly across the large hall like an Olympic gold medalist. All the nearby dungeon thugs and agents reacted immediately as they tried to intercept him.

2 agents quickly appeared on his path, wielding their daggers with a sinister expression on their faces. Before they even blocked his path fully, his knee already flew at the closest one.

Crack!! The sound of bone cracking echoed out as this agent’s expression turned purple from pain. With another smooth move, Morales unsheathed his dagger and cut across, slashing the bent throat of his opponent.

Morales wanted to run away but the sudden activation of the bone crusher hidden skill encouraged him to kill the other guard facing him.

With his increased attack speed, his opponent could not even see him when he attacked at all. With 3 smooth cuts, he beheaded his opponent before picking up speed again to his intended destination.

As he ran, he suddenly grimaced before twisting his body to the side. His face grew pale as with a gunshot sound reverberating, pain erupted from his back spine.

_________________________________

Gritting his teeth, Morales ignored the pain as he took 2 more steps forward before jumping into a hole that was at the corner, leading him further down to the direction that he aimed to go.

The elite agent finally took this rogue seriously, that was why he brought his gun out after seeing how he easily dispatched 2 of their agents in seconds.

On seeing that instead of going up where the exit door is, he went down instead, he could not help but laugh coldly.

“You just signed your death warrant”. He muttered with a cold and ruthless expression on his face before leading his subordinate elite agents to go in pursuit.

His subordinates suggested that they should be prudent and inform the dungeon protector, but he refused, saying that his strength was enough.

Hearing this, they no longer fretted as they all trusted their leader’s strength, they were just trying to be cautious.

After jumping through the hole, Morales heaved a sigh of relief as he finally landed on the metal floor with a thud sound. On seeing the familiar unkept bunker, a smile appeared on his face despite the searing pain on his back.

As he staggered up to move away, a notification suddenly appeared on his interface.

You are in the last phase of escaping this dungeon, but you have terrible enemies going after you. A team of 5 elite agents is going after you. Survive their assault and escape from the dungeon.

Reward: 10,000 experience

Accept/Decline

_____________________________

Seeing this, Morales’s face grew grave as this meant that the elite agents were coming after him. He consoled himself with the fact that it was not the dungeon protector before increasing his pace forward.

Before increasing his pace, he did not forget to accept the mission. That was important as 10,000 experience could do him a lot of good at his current level.

Thud!! Consecutive landing sounds echoed around the tight bunker, indicating the arrival of the elite agents as Morales rolled behind a batch of dust-laden military supplies immediately.

As the light shining here was fairly dim, it was a little to his advantage. He slowly brought out the gun that he looted while making sure to remain still and listen for any movement.

As he did this, he used all his accumulated experience from the previous kills to level up his main class. He needed all the strength that he could get, these elites were not beans like the regular agents he killed.

The surrounding outside the fence was the real mining base, stretching for kilometers.It was an underground mining base, so deep trenches leading underground covered most parts of the base. Streamlined slopes made using machines covered most parts of the base strategically to protect it from the fierce beast attacks.The animals in Beiger were all outrageously strong as most of them were mutated beasts.

They all worked without distraction under the strict supervision of the mine base guards. Their afternoon shift was surface mining, that was why they had to endure the unrelenting punishment of the sun. Sweat dripped down like falling waterfalls from Morales’s face as he lifted another big metal bucket packed full of steel and some other metal ores, before slowly climbing up the steep slopes of the mining base. The slaves all had fatigued expressions on their faces as some kept on digging deeper while others carried their harvest up the way Morales was doing.&

His physique could only be described as wild.As he was not a human, most of the things seen as indecent to them were daily normal occurrences to him. His naked body twitched at intervals on his bed as the faint wind blowing into the room tickled his thick skin hair.All his burly muscles were clearly outlined, forming a stunning sight depicting immense manliness, but the group of people who were entering the room stealthily did not admire this. They did not have weird tendencies.As soon as he entered the room, the first thing that Morales did was to use his detect skill on their dangerous target immediately.---------------

He motioned him over as his other 4 leaders also slowly recovered from their exertion.“It’s time, Nightwing. We already did all the hard work of killing Chakra, now go and inform the others of our victory”.“Tell them to start the attack, tell them that victory is ours, but remember to warn them to follow the plan that we laid out.

The guards still could not believe that the elite guards of their leader were killed so easily by these slaves. They were shocked, horrified, and speechless. And where was their leader? “There’s no girl with Chakra, right? This is not the time; we need him now!” Despite their hopes, nothing seemed to be happening and their leader seemed to have abandoned them as they were massacred like chickens. The other 4 leaders, including Leonel, were tired, so they refused to join the

The heroic battle of the new King could never be forgotten.

As one of the 3 Grade C- experts of this Suicide Squad, he had 1/3rd overall authority over any decision-making of the squad. As soon as they went deep inside the pyramid enough, and the number of zombies and other undead creatures swarming towards them started becoming too much, Morales gave a suggestion. “Let’s separate!” Morales could boast of being the warrior with the most knowledge about this Pyramid. Putting aside its deliberate model after earth’s pyramid of Giza, this was a battlefield where he had farmed for experience points like a man

This was a sign of a good omen towards the overall mission. None of the warriors that were recruited into the vanguard team cheered though, this was because they knew that this was just the calm before the storm. This act that they just started was an act of war! Inside the necromancy domain was like a dark endless void filled with chaotic space that kept on ravaging through anything that they could devour. It was now night, but the effects of the night here were amplified several folds. The extreme darkness, gloominess, and absolute silence gave this region the spookiest attribute that it could afford. This strange vacant void seemed spooky, but not to the warriors that came for this mission who were all battle-hardened veterans. None of them were flustered, they kn

The hunting alliance already put everything in order before convening this gathering. From the most important warrior to the least important, even the mysterious Elder Lorrain of the Clifford family were all present. Like before, Pirate Admiral Frenzy was the one who stood up to speak. He was seated alongside his fellow counterparts at the very front of the hall. Morales eyed these seats. With his current status as a Grade C- expert, if he revealed his real strength, he could easily become one of the higher-ups of this alliance. Despite the fame and prestige that may follow, Morales was okay with being prudent. He already had his own plans in place for this mission. To others, it was just about killing the necromancers and getting rid of a disast

Since then, they went into work on gathering manpower and trying to infiltrate the Necromancer’s Den to gather information.When the gathering started, it comprised only Pirate Admiral Frenzy and Pirate Admiral Rage. These 2 were the progenitors of the gathering, and they were responsible for the rapid growth of the gathering in the past 2 years.Compared to when it started, the gathering was now countless times more powerful.

    “Who is this?” Morales was confused at first on seeing his ringing communication device, but as soon as he picked up the call, his confusion cleared and was quickly replaced by surprise and speculations. “Morales, right?” On hearing the dignified voice that reverberated from the other side of the virtual projection screen, Morales snapped out of his daze. “Esteemed Pirate Admiral!” Morales quickly expressed his respect by standing up. Being contacted so suddenly by the well-known Frenzy Psychic, Morales experienced a rapid rush of emotions. It did not take him long before he connected this call to the achievements of his fleet in the just-concluded campaign. Though he really wanted to know the reason why this Pirate Admiral called, he did not dare keep him waiting. He put on the most polite smile that he could before asking the universal question. “To what honor am I receiving this unexpected call?” On hearing t
