Don Saber had woken up and was checking the surveillance cameras at the headquarters to narrow down on the whereabouts of Myles.“He’s seen in ten different wards, sir. He’s everywhere.”“He was last seen entering the Sheep’s ward—him and his group.”“Isn’t that on the back side of the nether dungeon? It’s a dangerous zone where religious extremists live.”“They are entering through the back door,” Don gritted his teeth. “How the hell did they get into that ward? How did they find out about the secret entrance?”What most of the citizens didn’t know was that there was a second entrance into the nether dungeon, which was located in the Sheep’s ward, a land prohibited to enter by the outsiders.There was no surveillance system in the Sheep’s ward, so Don had no way to see what Myles and his group were up to.“There’s no other way,” Don’s gaze turned sharp. “I have to enter the dungeon myself and take down Myles Mertzel, but I can’t do it alone.”In the Sheep’s ward.The locals were very
Myles and others went through the muddy grounds. Casey and Biskie kept complaining that they were feeling an itchy sensation all over their body, especially their arms.Myles, Justin, and Ria didn’t feel that way.Myles checked their pulse. Something didn’t feel right, but he didn’t have the magic powers to look into their body and tell what was going on.“We’re not going to die, right?” Casey tensely asked.“Don’t worry too much,” Myles calmly replied. “No matter how much we struggle, we can’t delay our appointed deaths even by a second.”“You believe in destiny?” Biskie asked in an almost mocking tone. “Only fools would believe in things like destiny and God.”Myles smiled. “You are able to think and talk because your body is carefully built with intelligence. Your eyes, your teeth, and the blood that flows in your brains didn’t come into existence because some random wind blew and created you from dirt. That’s not how it works. If you use your God-given eyes, you’ll see that there’
Goblins were by no means weak. Each of them were stronger and faster typical humans, but their true power shone when they worked together in groups.Just a group of dozen goblins could easily take down a mammoth, so what about a thousand of them? They could conquer a town if they wanted to.Naturally, they didn’t even see the four humans as a threat.“Siege the women, and kill the man!” the elder goblin with a staff in his hand yelled. He lifted the staff. “I bless thee!”All the hundreds of goblins were given a significant boost in terms of speed and strength even before the battle even began.Their howls, screams, and snickers demoralized Casey and Biskie. Even Ria felt threatened by their sheer number, but remembering the reason she entered the dungeon again was to grow strong enough to defeat her mother’s killer, she quickly brushed her anxiety aside.She flew forth and used her most trusted attack. “Thousand Terrors!” Her feathers flew and pierced through the hundreds of goblins
The second floor was actually bigger than the first floor, with crazy monsters everywhere. Creatures that were able to mimic wood and stone and hide perfectly, or those that were able to rust everything around them.Most creatures were just horrifying to look at.Moreover, the landscape itself was huge, making them feel like they were miniscule.“There’s no way a dungeon this big is under the city, right?” Casey was wide-eyed as she saw flying monsters with long hairs growing out of their heads like with horses. It had been a few hours since they entered the second floor, but the scenery all around them still amazed her the same.“Yeah,” Biskie was also thinking the same, “we’re probably in another space or dimension or whatever you call it. I think the air itself feels tacky.” She could feel the stickiness in the air. “It’s probably full of particles that can corrupt our bodies.”“What makes you say that?” Ria asked.“Didn’t Myles say this is the breeding ground? So, the monsters fro
The hell dogs drooled when they saw humans, their favorite targets because nobody screamed better when being harassed like humans would.Naturally, their sadistic instincts kicked in, and they all sprinted toward the humans. All thirty of them, drooling from their sixty mouths.“Be careful,” Myles advised. “You can’t kill them by simply cutting their heads off as they can reattach their limbs or other body parts.”“What?” the hearts of everyone else skipped.“Will fire work against them?” Justin asked in a rush.“I’m afraid they’re highly resistant to fire,” Myles calmly replied, sinking their hearts into their abdomens.“Then how are we going to beat them?” Ria couldn’t help but ask.“You can’t beat them with your strength or skill-level right now,” Myles stated, “so do what you can. Run and survive for five minutes.”“T-That’s…” before they could think much about it, the dogs had covered a lot of distance.All four of them ran in different ways.Myles, however, stood there and let a
The hell dogs didn’t particularly live on one floor as every floor from the 1st to 65th was theirs, and they were known to be the biggest bullies in the entire dungeon.The mages also avoided them as much as possible because these bullies were also almost always guarded by a Dire Demon.Dire Demons spawned at random places in the dungeon, and they rode hell horses and were powerful and also extremely wicked. Once the dire demons proved their loyalty, they would be promoted into nether demons through initiation on the 33rd floor in the presence of a nether knight.After the thirty hell dogs had their eyes on Myles and others, the dire demon that was assigned to guard them also spotted the humans.Wearing a black robe that hid away most of its features, the dire demon was riding a hell horse which was made out of bones.The dire demon watched the hell dogs fight the humans, but it soon became obvious that they weren’t capable of defeating the humans, especially a particular human in the
A woke- sabertooth, mammoth, dire wolf, musk ox, and a pronghorn, all five of them turned into their full beast mode and unleashed their powerful attacks.Myles grabbed the mammoth and swung it like a bat and thrashed the other woke-beasts left and right, until all of them coughed blood, including the mammoth.By the time Myles was done, their eyes were spinning, and for a few seconds, they even forgot where they were.Soon, their blurry sight cleared, and Myles was still standing, completely unhurt.“Just because five ants gang up together, they won’t be able to defeat a lion,” Myles said. “Since we don’t have any real enmity, I’ll give you all a chance to leave.” Saying that, he turned his back against them.This was a huge insult to them who were all prideful wardens who hated losing, but this man in front of them seemed to be on a whole ‘nother level.Myles walked away, but they didn’t pursue him anymore.“You brought us here to defeat this monster of a man?” the musk ox still cri
The five wardens left the dungeon right after Myles had defeated a nether knight. Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, they couldn’t comprehend what they had seen. “How did he defeat a nether knight with a punch that used no magic?” “Yeah, it looked like he used pure brute strength given how the skull broke into bits.” “But that doesn’t explain it. We know that brute strength is ineffective against these undead monsters. He must have used some form of magic that’s probably so advanced we couldn’t see it with our own eyes.” “You mean his magic skills are cast in another dimension? And that we can’t even see his attacks coming?” “Probably. I mean, even the nether knight died helplessly against his attack. I’m not sure if our city lord can kill a nether knight so easily.” As other wardens kept talking, Don stayed silent. He felt so foolish for thinking that he could beat someone like Myles who could effortlessly defeat a nether knight. After he realized that Myles could
