Just as Myles had predicted, the authorities investigated everybody Myles and his group had come into contact with.There were no surveillance cameras around in these wards that were far from the center of the city, so Hipster and Foxie could say whatever they wanted and get away with it so long as they weren’t proven to be lying.Hipster and Foxie had enough people backing them to convince the authorities that they didn’t support Myles and his group for nefarious reasons.Penny was also approached, but she didn’t even answer them. She just showed them her middle finger. Given her messy history, they didn’t poke her too much.Rockell and his family was also interrogated, and the officers tried to intimidate and trick Rockell into confessing something he didn’t do, but because he knew the law: innocent until proven guilty, he was able to get out of any charges that were put on hi as he wasn’t found guilty.After Ruff’s death, Bryant from the Red Blade squad took over the executioner’s
The fight between Asger and Darvi shook the fiftieth floor and scared all the beings on that floor.They had to put their battle on hold for the time being because both of them had better things to do. Asger wanted to return to his lord as Myles had gone to the lower floors. Darvi also wanted to keep following Myles and his group.“The next time we meet, your head will fly,” Asger said and entered through a dark portal.“The ability to cover large distances instantly…” Darvi envied Asger’s ability. “Will I be able to obtain it if I kill him and obtain his seven-star crystal?” he wondered. “At any rate, if everything goes according to plan, I’ll be facing him soon enough.”He was about to head into the 51st floor, but he stopped at the entrance and looked back. A snake came slithering up to him and spit out a round ball. He held the ball at both ends of the diameter and twisted in opposite directions, which opened the ball and revealed a small paper scroll inside. He read the contents
The 51st floor had a volcanic setting with hot magma pools everywhere. It wasn’t quite suitable for fighting because of the uneven grounds. Moreover, any sort of disturbance to the ground would make lava pour out of the pools. Many people and monsters had died this way when they recklessly fought on this floor.And Myles wanted his teammates to spar with the manglers in such a setting. The challenge was not an easy one. The risk was too high.Nevertheless, Justin and others introduced themselves first.Then the Manglers impolitely introduced themselves one by one.“I’m Soro Gills,” the young blonde guy said with a smile, “I’m the youngest in the group, and I specialize in cutting the flesh and veins and draining the blood of the opponents.”“H-He’s a psychopath,” Ria muttered under her breath. “I can just feel it in his eyes. He likes cutting people.”Myles heard Ria’s words even though others didn’t, and he also believed the same. Even though Soro was smiling, that smile didn’t reach
Soro’s ‘Bleeding Lotus Blitz’ was by no means a simple attack. It could destroy an entire house into nothing but rubble. And Soro didn’t really hold himself back when he launched his attack. Even if he were to kill Ria, he had nothing to lose as Myles had given the permission for him to fight with the intent to kill.Hundreds of dark petals flew at Ria’s body. Her instincts screamed in her head, and her body reacted at lightning speed, and she covered herself with her wings.The petals struck her wings and bounced off in different directions. Some struck the ground, and some fell in the lava pool that was more than 100 ft away.Though the petals couldn’t cut through Ria’s feathers, the sheer power behind them sent Ria flying back. She was heading straight for the volcanic pool. She wanted to fly, but her wings were still trembling after taking the attack, and so she couldn’t employ her wings.“She’s going to fall!” Biskie worriedly said.“Why isn’t she flying?” Casey yelled in confusi
In that fraction of a second, as Soro came thrusting his dark-lotus leaking sword at her, a lot of regret filled Ria’s heart.Just a second ago, she thought she was in a safe position. She thought the lava wouldn’t affect her because she had the divine shield, but she should have known better. Even when someone like Soro who was much stronger than her had moved away from the lava pool, she thought she could stand in the lava. And she did. However, a simple burst of poisonous lava vapors disoriented her and made her knees go weak.All she could do was watch as Soro came at her heart. She couldn’t even move her wings this time. It was definitely over. She was going to die, she thought.But then a faint voice whispered in her mind: Don’t give up.Ria didn’t know how, but her arms moved fast and cross-blocked just in time. Soro’s sword struck her arms. Two powerful forces clashed. Hundreds of dark petals on one side, and an ethereal wall of energy on the other side.Both of them got repel
Dimitri the Overeating Dragon.This was a name that both Justin and Biskie had heard about, not in the wolf city but back in their home city. Many years ago, Dimitri’s name became widely popular after he defeated a swamp dragon and ate its heart crystal. This gave him the ability to eat anything. He could eat vegetables, wood, metal, and even energy attacks. He was known to have an unending appetite, but his name spread across the world when he had eaten an entire mountain full of man-eating plants.Currently, Dimitri turned into his small humanoid dragon form and was smiling at Justin and Biskie. He could hear their heartbeats and tell that they were extremely anxious.“If you aren’t going to come, then I’ll attack both of you,” Dimitri said.Biskie, knowing Justin, forced herself to step forward.“Letting a girl come forward,” Dimitri was disappointed at Justin. “You should be ashamed of yourself.”Justin’s gut twisted.“Shut up. You know nothing about Justin,” Biskie barked.“Ho…”
Papa Bear was born in the wolf city and was known for his ridiculous strength and endurance, but he was even more infamous for his ruthless killing ways. Instead of giving quick death, he would torture his opponent and enjoy their cries. He also enjoyed fighting and getting beaten and bruised.He was very intimidating to look at, but size was never an issue for Justin. He straight away turned into his hybrid mode and viciously clawed at the opponent. “Toxic Smoke Strike!”Instead of flames, he released smoke and poisonous fumes through his fists. Not only Papa’s vision was clouded by this attack, his vision and senses were also affected because of the gas that had seeped into his nose.Justin clapped his hands. “Azure Fire Fracture!”All the fumes and gas around him exploded, including Papa who had absorbed the gas.It looked like a devastating attack, with blue flames spreading about like a cloud in every direction.“Huhoo…” Soro was impressed by what he saw. “Causing the blood to ex
Thanks to the healing injections given by the Manglers, Casey, Biskie, and Ria were healed. Not just their wounds but also their fatigue was gone. Casey now put on a new pair of clothes she had stored in Myles’ spatial ring before entering the dungeon.The 51st floor was known for the nether blood ants, the crazy ants that lived inside lava. Each of these ants were as big as house cats, and their bite could paralyze a person just from the sheer shock it’d inflict on one’s nervous system. And it would take only a dozen of these ants to completely deprive a human of their fluids in a matter of seconds.Casey and Biskie were currently fighting a large number of these ants together, whereas Ria assisted them whenever they got into trouble. This was done so that Casey and Biskie would improve in their fighting ability rapidly because they were facing not one but dozens of ants that would keep on adding endlessly. It was a good shooting practice for Casey to improve her bow skills. Biskie,
