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
The strong lightning attack struck Myles in the blink of an eye.“Myles!” the women cried out, whereas Justin didn’t look too worried.“Kekeke,” the lich smiled. “He must have become a roast, but it’s okay. I’ll build his bones and raise him into a walking skeleton! Mm?” As the dust cleared, he saw that Myles was still very much alive, and not even a single strand of hair on his head was affected.The lich immediately unleashed another much more intense attack. “Billion Volt Bomb!” It flew straight and struck Myles without a doubt. However, it didn’t do a thing, either.“Kugh. Not even your hair was affected by this level of lightning?” the lich howled in disgust. “Trillion Volt Terror!” A super-strong beam of lightning flew toward Myles, but he deflected it effortlessly. The lightning went through the walls and destroyed a lot of area.“EHHH?” The lich’s eyes would have popped out of his sockets if only he had eyes. “H-How’s this possible? How did you deflect my attack when I don’t e
Human-kind, beast-kind, and plant-kind had been fighting for world dominance for a long time. And they all believed that they were destined to rule the world, and so nothing could stand against them, except until a natural disaster was brought upon them.Natural was another name for Godsent.Could anybody stand against the disasters sent by God?None had to this day.And the current phenomenon happening in the wolf city was like that of a natural disaster in action, except it wasn’t sent by God.Sky had turned sable. Black rain fell everywhere.When the black raindrops fell on people, they seeped into their bodies and began to lose consciousness within seconds. Whether it was a child or an adult, it didn’t matter. All of them fell. And their bodies shook as if they were being electrocuted.Luke, the 30ft humanoid wolf, who was on top of his tower, shot black flaming balls of energy into the sky. They all exploded and dispersed the sable clouds into the distance.However, he knew that
After the chaos started, Rockell and his family had locked themselves in the house, but now a black-eyed being started breaking their door.His children and wife began shivering inside.Rockell held a sword, but he wasn’t sure if he could fight against the monster that was banging its body against the door.The door suddenly broke, and the black-eyed being rushed in. Rockell’s wife and kids screamed in horror.“Haaah!” Rockell howled and swung his sword. Rays of black light shot out of black-eyed being and struck the sword and destroyed it, leaving Rockell in absolute shock. The broken sword automatically fell from his hands. How could he fight against a monster like this? If even someone who had explored the dungeons in the past was having a hard time just to be in the presence of this black-eyed being, what about his wife and children? Thinking about him, he steeled his heart and head-butted the opponent with all he got but got pushed back instead. It was his strongest attack, and y
