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
Myles gave everyone food and water he had taken out from the ring. There wasn’t much because he could buy it for only 1000 dollars before entering the dungeon. He was in possession of crystals back then, but he didn’t sell them because he didn’t think it was necessary.Myles, with the help of Justin, roasted the worm meat and ate it, shocking the others.“Why are you eating this filthy meat after giving us good food?” Ria couldn’t help but ask.“I’m out of food, so…” Myles didn’t stop eating while talking. “You guys should get used to this as well if you want to survive in this dungeon for longer times.”Ria also helped herself and ate the worm meat.Biskie and Casey looked at each other and shook their heads.However, after Justin also started eating, Biskie frowned and forced herself to taste a bit, and she almost threw up. “Ew, it tastes horrible. How are you eating it?”“With the mouth, of course. How else?” Justin teased her. “Just grab a few bites, and it’ll taste sweet afterwar
“Myles…” Rashn’s eyes glowed. “To think I can’t sense any magic from you… What an interesting fellow you are. Did you radically increase your strength in the short time we haven’t seen each other?”“Why did you call me here?” Myles asked.Asgar raised his scythe a little. “Know that you’re in the presence of the one and only Nether King. Give respect, or your head will roll.”“I doubt you can make my head roll,” Myles casually replied.Silence followed.“Hahaha,” Rashn broke the silence. “You have some funny bones in you, too. Good. Good.”Puck also chuckled and said, “I want him as my puppet, Father. Can you make it possible?”“Puppet? Who? That guy?” Rashn cast an angry glance at Puck, causing her to put up a confused expression. “You still don’t understand how strong he is, do you?” He paused for a brief second, making his daughter wonder if he was going to whip her. “Then again, even Asgar can’t seem to grasp his strength, so it’s only natural that you couldn’t, either.”“Does tha
Justin and others were fighting black-backed hyenas, and the ground and ceiling started vibrating. The monsters stopped fighting and ran away as if running away from an approaching disaster.“What the hell is going on?” Biskie’s heart rate went up and down against her will. She had to jump to her left and right to avoid getting crushed by the sections of ceiling that kept collapsing. “What can cause an earthquake this vicious? Is the entire first floor going to collapse on us?”“If that happens, we’ll die for sure,” Casey worriedly said.“The vibrations didn’t come from above,” Ria glanced down. “They came from below.”“I just had this crazy thought…” Justin said. “Maybe, Myles is fighting someone.”“Huh?” Biskie looked at him like she was looking at an idiot. “He’s strong, but how can he make waves come up here? Doesn’t that sound too exaggerated even if it's Myles who’s fighting?”On the 66th floor.Puck thought she had died, but Asgar had shielded her, or she would have probably di
