Justin came to a different spot on the 51st floor so that he could have some peace.The strange voice still kept bugging him with this theory and that.He slapped himself, but it didn’t stop.“I know I should get strong, just let me be at peace for a fucking minute!” he screamed, and then voice was gone.“Whew…” he sighed in relief.However, he soon saw a mage fighting the nether blood ants in the distance.This female mage had the flame ability, but it was not at all effective against the nether blood ants. So she was having a really hard time to defeat them and was barely keeping herself alive by using the explosive power of the flames to keep pushing the ants away.“She isn’t half bad. Normally, such explosive power should blow the ants into bits, but these nether blood ants have such hard shells. If not for the divine weapons, Casey, Biskie, and even Ria wouldn’t have stood a chance against these ants,” Justin thought while observing the female mage. “If this keeps up, she’s going
Justin screamed, but not for long. The first thing the seven commander ants did was bite his flaming armor at seven different places. Just one bite would be more than enough to paralyze his nervous system, so seven bites was an overkill.Justin was completely paralyzed as his flaming armor wasn’t effective against these nether blood ants.And then the ants began fighting among themselves to see who would get to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the human. It wasn’t a fight to the death but just a competition to see who would win. In a couple of minutes, the winner was decided. It was the ant with the biggest butt. It began to dance in excitement, spraying lava here and there, all of which frustrated and scared Justin.“Am I going to get eaten by this ugly thing?” Justin’s heart raced as the ant did a strange ritual around him.Just as it was about to bite Justin’s head off and begin its meal, Myles flashed next to the ant and kicked it in the butt, sending it flying into the distan
Because of the power-up the nether blood ant crystals gave Justin, he had completely forgotten about the other things. And his butt size was one of those.“Hey, Justin… are you using butt pads?” When Biskie said those words, Justin’s heart trembled.His hands immediately touched his butt, and behold, it was bigger than before. It was big enough that it fully fit in his pants and made the shape of his butt all the more perceptible.Justin looked at Myles in utter shock.Myles looked elsewhere and acted like nothing wrong happened.Biskie came up to Justin and touched his butt. Her jaw dropped. “Whoa… there are no pads? Does that mean, this is all real fat?”“It’s not fat! It’s all muscle!” Justin hurriedly said. He was right. It was all elastic muscle.“H-How did you get this?” Biskie looked at Justin with envy. She didn’t have big breasts or butt like Casey had. Though Casey was a bit on the chubbier side, her body slimmed down a bit because of her recent journey, and she looked even
A few days later.A tall, sturdy man with a long braid was standing at the entrance of the Tail Cave. He was also dressed in a red uniform and a red mask covering the lower half of his face. He also had a black pleated waist sash that had attractive patterns designed on it. This was Bryant, the head of the Red Blade squad. He also had the executioner’s red sash now.Behind him were the Red Blade squad members and many mages gathered from the nearest wards.“Boss, why don’t we just attack?” one of the squad members, a guy with a double-chin, asked. “There’s enough of us to conquer the Tail Cave.”Bryant, however, stayed silent. (You guys who are not within the top 100 mage rankings must not know what happens inside this cave. If you do, you’ll become part of the experiments.) He had already lost one of his friends in the past that way, so he stayed outside now.After much waiting, a bald-headed man stepped out, wearing nothing but a loin cloth.“Who the fuck are you?” one of the member
There was only one secret entrance into the Tail Cave, but that tunnel was destroyed with Shreya’s ability. So, the only entrance left was the main entrance.Naturally, Shreya and Verella didn’t expect anyone would still be able to infiltrate the base. However, Verella still maintained a barrier touching the border of the base so that she’d be able to detect if anyone tried to force their way in.The moment Darvi wiggled in through the aerial barrier, Shreya knew it straight away.“Someone infiltrated the base,” Shreya warned Verella.“What?” Verella grew somewhat anxious. “Who could achieve such a thing? Even my Dad would have to break his way through the thick metal walls, and that’d cause a lot of vibrations. There’s no way I wouldn’t have sensed such disturbance if someone actually slipped in.”“Are you saying I’m wrong?”“No, that’s not what I said,” Verella asked the operating room manager to check the footage, and they were able to spot the person that infiltrated the base.“Do
On the 66th floor.Rashn and Puck were playing chess.Puck lost yet again and started throwing a tantrum. “Dad, this is unfair! You are so much more experienced than me, so why can’t you lose just once?”“How can a king lose?” Rashn calmly replied.“But, didn’t you say you lost many times in the past?”“That was before I died. After rising, I’m much stronger now.”“Because you’ve been absorbing crystals for decades?”“That’s one of the reasons, yes. The more crystals this dungeon produces, the weaker it gets,” Rashn explained while rearranging the chess pieces. “Once it goes down a certain level, the dungeon starts collapsing. That will be the sign.”“We’ll go out once we see the sign, right?”“Yes.”She grabbed his arm for comfort. “Will I be able to stand in the sun?”“I made you strong with my heart crystal, Puck, so, yes, you’re capable of standing in the sun,” Rashn stroked her head. “You’ll see me conquer the world.”Puck excitedly smiled. “When will we see the sign, Dad? How lo
Myles and others were exploring the 55th floor.“In the stories I read, you’ll find great items as you enter into the deeper levels of a dungeon,” Biskie opined. “But the reality is completely different. We haven’t found a single crystal yet. There are no undeads, either. This floor really is completely empty and creepy.”“Yeah,” Casey agreed. “We haven’t come across any mage group on this floor, either. What do you think, Myles?”“I think this floor is devoid of energy,” he replied, looking around. Even the ceiling had cracks in it. “It’s not habitable even for the undeads. We’re lucky that we found a nether demon on this floor.”Mentioning the nether demon changed Ria’s expression. She came up to Myles and asked in a low voice, “How did you penetrate the nether demon’s skin so easily? I mean, we couldn’t pierce its flesh deep.”“You shouldn’t have doubt in what you do, or you won’t be able to bring out the power in you or your weapon.”“T-That’s it? There’s no secret method to draw
Darvi couldn’t kill all the scientists, but he successfully escaped with their blood samples and also the research data. However, he still suffered an injury to his left eye, and the injury wasn’t healing. It greatly angered him, to say the least.Verella was also wounded, but only with minor cuts here and there. Shreya and Blue Dog were also safe.The fight between Bryant and Blue Dog stopped before it could reach a conclusion because Bryant received a message from the higher ups that there was no need for him to risk anymore.Bryant withdrawing was a big red flag.Verella and others wanted to quickly escape from the tail cave, but five of the top 20 mages were stationed at the entrance of the cave. Bryant was also there, along with many more mages to support.If it was just the three of them, Verella, Blue Dog, and Shreya, they might have had a chance, but with many victims on their side, waiting to be freed, trying to escape would be nothing but a suicide mission.“Are we going to
