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
Thousand years had passed in the dimension since Myles and Rashn started fighting. Neither of them were able to bring the other to their knees.“Why isn’t your stamina going down even after we fought for so long?” Rashn was utterly frustrated.“If only I had my magic powers, I would have wrecked his ass long ago,” Myles thought. “But with this body, there’s only so much I can do in this spiritual dimension that suppresses my power but enhances his powers.”Rashn’s bones were covered in bruises. “At this rate, our fight will never end.”“I have the same feeling,” Myles suffered many cuts and a hole near his right shoulder.Both of their wounds were taking longer to heal than they had expected.“Then, let’s postpone this battle to the next time we meet,” Rashn suggested, “assuming you don’t ever step foot in my dungeon again.”“You mean Abaddon’s dungeon, right?”Rashn squinted his eyes for a second but then forced out an angry smile and snapped his fingers.Both of them appeared on the
“A human?”That was the last soul everyone watching probably expected to come out of the 66th floor.“I-Is he the Nether King?”“T-The Nether King can’t be a human, right?”“Maybe he shapeshifted into a human to deceive us?”“That’s definitely possible.”“Let’s not lower our guards.”The top mages that had humans as well as woke animals among them were on full alert.Cerberus, on the other hand, didn’t recognize this human that just walked out through the door. It growled in a threatening manner.“Yo,” Myles waved his hand at Cerberus and kept walking, confusing the undead monster a little bit.Cerberus could very much tell that Myles wasn’t the Nether King, but… should it attack or should it not?A human had never come out through this door, so it seemed a little perplexed for a moment.Nevertheless, it had received no orders that it shouldn’t attack any human that would come out of the 66th floor, so it kicked the door shut and thrust its tail toward Myles from behind.“Watch out!”
Two weeks later.Kong and the twin sisters came out of the dungeon with a large power crystal in their hands, shocking the guards.“W-Where did you get your hands on a power crystal?”“Can you please tell us? We’ll pay you for the information.”The guards requested without any shame. Power crystals could be sold for great money, of course, but if they were to give one of these crystals to a high-ranking mage, they would be making acquaintances, which would later be of great help to them.Kong had a similar plan. He was thinking of giving it to one of the city council members so that they would consider making him a warden.It was extremely hard for one to directly become a warden, but as long as the mage rank was within top 2000, it was definitely possible.Kong joined the team of the twins, so his rank was also below 10,000, but it wouldn’t be enough for him to become even a vice warden, so he was planning to bribe a city council member with this rare power crystal.Kong and the twin
