Sometimes Highess completely fails to understand the concepts others think about. What he said earlier had no hint of insult at all; instead, it was a cool expression he often saw in a video of a tough knight's tale.

Douger slightly bowed, intensely observing Highess's body. Questions arose in Highess's mind about this action; he was confused about what the man intended to do.

Whoosh...

And, with high speed, Douger approached Highess, swinging a deadly slash.

Tings...

They finally clashed, both trying to push each other, although Highess's body was stronger and larger, Douger's strength was not significantly lighter.

"How skilled is this person? So heavy..." Highess complained as he tried to gaze seriously at Douger; the man's eyes were now filled with horror, two glowing red orbs that seemed to make it difficult for him to see.

"Wait, what is this?" Highess felt strange vibrations infiltrating his body, making it difficult for him to distinguish anything around him.

Crash...

    "Huh?"Highess didn't understand at all why Douger could speak with such sincerity, which was very different from someone with Douger's bad personality."In essence, if you continue this pursuit, I can assure you that you will encounter dangers far more terrifying than me!" He threatened, widening his pupils.This didn't dampen the fire of determination within Highess; he felt this was just an empty threat."From the beginning, I understood the risks, no matter how terrifying or challenging the obstacles, I will still do it! I will conquer this dungeon...""Hooh... you're very enthusiastic. Wait a minute! Don't tell me you're doing this to claim the promised prize?" Douger asked, curious."Yes, what other reason would I have? Hunting players on each floor sounds boring. Why not just play a game where players fight to the death?""So, you're one of those naive people who think that finishing all this is easy! Let me tell you, it's not that simple in this dungeon. There are many players

    Defeating Douger didn't resolve the issue; he had just entered the 40th-floor area, and if he continued to the 50th floor, the challenges would surely become much harsher.Highess felt weary about continuing this journey. He had already expended a lot of equipment, and while triumphing over Douger was advantageous, he understood the next floor would pose even greater difficulties. Moreover, the monsters on the next floor were far stronger than anticipated.Slowly, Highess advanced his steps, peeking from behind walls, ensuring there were no wandering monsters.No, there wasn't an immediate encounter with strange creatures. Instead, a translucent entity with rather sluggish movements caught his eye."A Slime?" This was the first time Highess encountered this monster. He often encountered similar monsters in the forest, most of which were not very strong."How strange. We're nearin

    Highess's feet stopped in front of a large door, an indication this was the boss's room. However, he wasn't quite sure what scenario would unfold before him. He had encountered many slimes earlier, and if he entered this room, it wouldn't be surprising if he faced a slime boss as well.Glancing back, he saw the same path, a dark silent corridor. He wanted to make sure no one else was following him."I need to be more careful at a time like this!" If the slimes he faced before had the ability to melt iron materials, facing a slime boss would surely have a much stronger ability.With caution, he opened the door to the room. The atmosphere was usual, only displaying a gripping silence that choked the air around him."Now, where's the monster I'll face?" His feet continued to explore the room until he reached the center. In past experiences, he often received unpleasant welcomes at this point, and he was often attacked by monsters from behind.Just entering this room already felt suffocat

    Even without the magic bells, the lich didn't care much about it. Quickly from both of his hands, various unique-shaped lights appeared, all of which were magic then immediately shot towards Highess.His swift movement helped Highess evade this attack, but not entirely, as the lich continued to rain down attacks upon him.Highess struggled with all his might to try to dodge these attacks, his eyes observing how the pattern of these attacks persisted."Uh..." However, at this moment, his energy was greatly depleted; the attacks he had used earlier had caused this. He could wait until his energy and stamina were replenished, but using skills required a considerable amount of energy.He understood that fighting the lich without a skill would be very difficult; he tried to think of a plan for what to do.Clap...This sound served as a stern warning, a loud clap then created a special circle that emerged from beneath the floor. A creature resembling an undead knight had appeared."Annoying

    Currently, he entered a floor that was much more unique, having just arrived on the 51st floor, the atmosphere of the room was already filled with green plants that looked so beautiful."Plants... Hmm..." He was suspicious of all this; on the previous floor, he faced various kinds of monsters, and the last time he encountered a slime with unique abilities, he had to try hard to prevent his weapons and equipment from melting. If there were plants adorning the hallway here, it could be ensured that he wouldn't just face ordinary plants.He tried to remain calm, continuing to explore the passage. So far, there were only creeping plants, with many plants swinging from the ceiling, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the hallway."The developers are creative to make all this more realistic, but I didn't expect them to make the atmosphere on each floor different!""Groagh..."From ahead,

    The search continued as Highess randomly attempted to enter available paths. Along the passage, he saw roots and moss clinging to the dungeon walls again. Even the flowers that had blocked the way before still grew as if without guilt."Jezz, is the developer of this game truly so insane as to make all of this feel even more repulsive?" What Highess saw wasn't a pleasant sight. The number of round objects hanging from the passage ceiling was so many, in various shapes, even emitting a foul-smelling liquid.It could be concluded that each cocoon was a living creature being processed naturally. The only way to avoid root attacks was to avoid making loud noises or aggressive actions, as they would awaken the roots as before.So far, Highess had tried to remain calm and had managed to pass many roots, but he couldn't do it forever; he had to be careful in all his actions.Highess looked to his right and

    Seeing that Highess could no longer move, the creature attempted to draw closer to Highess's body. Near the still-open flower crown, inside there is a place for digesting food, once inside, Highess's body would undoubtedly be crushed or destroyed due to the acidic fluid present.Highess vaguely saw the woman there, his body positioned upside down, with his legs up and head down."Enough, I will fail here, besides it's difficult to win this competition! It's foolish to have thought from the beginning that I could get the promised prize..." Highess wanted to laugh at himself, but his lips felt stiff to do it.And then, Highess's body began to be released, about to be swallowed up, becoming nutrition for the monster.Swings...As Highess was about to fall, he didn't just surrender, but he deliberately acted weak as if helpless. When the opportunity arose, he quickly made a move that

    Only one part wasn't examined in detail because it never occurred to Highess that the desired key would be inside Rose's body.However, he was still confused about where to search for the key. Rose's body was covered in thorns, and the dripping blood felt sticky and disgusting."Ugh... this just making things difficult for me! But, alright, I'll search for where that key might be!" It didn't take long for him to decide, and he carefully began inspecting Rose's body.Crash...Not merely checking, but Highess also has to make sure the key was indeed there. He cut through the upper part of Rose's body. Then, he turned to the lower part, where the roots were. It felt impolite, as there might be female genitalia there. Nevertheless, he had to do it.Crash...He cut through each root one by one until some parts were short enough for him to flip them over.&n

    Because this is what is called a competition that can never be predicted

    Grey put on a smile as he observed Highess's reaction in this situation."Indeed, I couldn't possibly let players like you win the competition again." He did feel irritated the game's security system had been breached by someone else, resulting in internal damage, but seeing this turn of events, he couldn't help but feel pleased."How could you, why are you doing this, Miyoko..." Highess uttered softly as his health points continued to decrease."Forgive me, but I won't waste this golden opportunity! I've witnessed directly how you fought against Zegar, and I understand that both of you are impossible to defeat! But I still have a chance, and this is the most appropriate way to defeat you..."Highess's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing all this. "Don't you feel ashamed of doing this? You're just destroying the pride of a samurai, I know that samurai insisted on upholding honesty...""I know, I know that! But, here it's not about upholding the dignity of a samurai, but it's about my own d

    Tings...The Twister Buster is an attack that delivers a double blow, but it's not as easy as that. Right now, Highess facing the opponent is putting up a difficult resistance to withstand. Even now, his strength feels unmatched."I've filled up my energy, but still, this man power is too great, and I can't balance it..."Tings...And, finally, he is thrown back again. His body floats in the air, presented with a beautiful sight."Yes, I understand that facing him is impossible, but still, I want to do it. I can't accept defeat against others..."Thud...His back lands very hard; it's over for Highess for now. He can move freely, but in reality, he could get up and run, but it would be pointless. Zegar's speed is much higher. Surely, he would easily catch Highess and then kill him.Rather than fleeing like a coward, it's better for Highess to fall with the demeanor of a true knight."I am ready to accept my defeat, and at this moment, my struggle as a player will end..." He can smile

    This time the fight that will be carried out has exceeded normal limits

    Highess began to feel overwhelmed, knowing from the start that facing Zegar would be very difficult.Each slash sent shivers down his entire body, however Highess continued to retaliate with his strength, trying to hold on.Ting.....But, there would come a time when it wouldn't last long, after enduring enough attacks, he was startled as Zegar pivoted to add a deadly kick.Highess was thrown back by this event, glaring at Zegar with sharp eyes. Though not entirely surprised by the attack, he was confused by Zegar's seemingly inexhaustible energy."What's happening here? How powerful is this man really?"Since Divine Phantom was used, Zegar's speed and strength had drastically increased. But, he didn't seem tired."Of all the players I've encountered, he's the toughest and most dangerous!" Highess tightened his grip, racing against time. It wouldn't be long before the effects of Sacrifice Buster wore off, and when they did, he wouldn't stand a chance against Zegar.While there was sti

    It seems that to end this, everything must be at stake

    Zegar's body appeared to be thrown back after receiving an attack from Highess, but here he couldn't afford to be proud; there were still many possibilities.It was clear that Zegar was still able to stand."Seriously, won't he still be able to defeat me? He must have accessories that can withstand damage, and he must still have great strength..."It was time for Zegar to bring out an item; he gulped down the contents of a purple bottle, and Highess's eyes widened at the sight.He vividly remembered that purple in this game was synonymous with poison and abnormal enhancements; in other words, it was the power to boost statistics to a certain extent."Don't tell me he just drank an item of terrifying potency? Seriously, am I not going to survive this?" he asked towards the sky which now looked bright."Be happy, during my time playing this game, I rarely act aggressively like this! I'll make you experience a real fight!" he said firmly, and Highess couldn't take it as mere words.The o

    Two People Trying To Find Calm In This Situation

    "The strength that is too high might indeed burden the mind, and I can understand if you're a tough player!"Highess didn't blink, he kept observing Zegar's behavior, which had felt odd since earlier. Clearly, in a fight like this, such actions shouldn't be taken; excessively praising one's opponent would leave a very bad impression, and it was evident in how Highess's mood changed significantly."If I can't do something, I will lose to him! He also seems very calm facing me, in other words, he no longer cares about various things..."Zegar accelerated his steps, starting with one tap, then instantly delivering towards Highess.Tings...Attacks splattered out in the form of high-energy flows, possibly making the entire body feel pressure.Tings...Highess responded with a wide-eyed glare, managing to throw Zegar off balance, and then getting ready for the incoming attack.Tings...Exuding a high-level force, but there seemed to be no sign of fatigue between them. And, they began the f

    Duel For The Winner

    The monsters, after hearing this, immediately assumed a defensive position. Players stood with blank faces against the monsters."Why are there still active players at this early hour?" He remembered the habit of playing games tends to make everyone forget about time; he could understand if the player was experiencing the same, forgetting everything, including sleep time.And, if he saw one player here, then his brain told him there would be three players present; if not him, then it would be either Miyoko or Zegar. However, from the imposing appearance, wearing black armor, with a cold gaze, he could be none other than Zegar.He didn't expect to meet that player here, but it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to see what that player would do.Crash...Instantly, his eyes widened; the five monsters could be defeated very easily, without much effort."Hmmm... so he truly is a highly skilled player..." Highess muttered, noticing his trembling hand for no clear reason."Relax, I am

    Lack of time to think

    Highess then looked ahead and saw the atmosphere was very quiet. It was strange for him to think tat this early hour, he would encounter any players. This time was meant for relaxation, especially since today was the day the competition would end.He quickly checked the competition statistics and couldn't say anything after seeing that only a few players were present."Why is it like this? Did many players go on a killing spree yesterday because I wasn't active? But if that happened, why didn't the points of other players increase much?"Highess's points still remained at the top, while Zegar and Miyoko were still below him, with Miyoko's points not moving at all, remaining stagnant.He remembered the last time they met, wondering how it would be if they met now. Before, he wanted to be seen as a teacher, whatever kind of teacher that meant, but Miyoko was very serious about it."If she meets me, I'm sure she'll be angry..."Their parting seemed somewhat pointless. Highess easily left

    In Circumstances Like These Time is Very Important

    The situation became increasingly unfavorable until the shinobi began to shiver; he understood that fighting Highess one-on-one wouldn't be advantageous. So, he chose to flee instead."Oi..." Highess quickly pursued the player, unwilling to let a player who had attacked him get away so easily.He quickly attempted to chase the man, but he had to admit that his body speed wasn't good enough to catch up."Darn, if only I could have much higher speed, maybe I could catch him..." Highess grumbled, but it was futile; he still had to accept this as his defeat."Huh... that player's movements are incredibly fast; it seems I don't have many options..." As he said this, he indeed didn't have many options left; he had to let go of this incident.Returning to where the players had been, he noticed the bottles owned by the two players. After transferring, he received only 100, which was completely useless. Even hunting fairies directly would have been much better than this."Meh, I tried my best

    Let's Resolve The Anxiety In This Fight

    "No, don't do this to us..."Crash...The players who had thought they could survive had experienced a terrible event. Lately, players had been ruthlessly hunted by others, but this had become normal. It was clear they would remain targets."W-Why, why are you doing this?" asked a player who had lost his job before. His eyes begged for mercy, but a sword was already stuck in his body. It wouldn't be long until he lost consciousness."It's simple. Players like you are not needed!" replied the player, disdainfully staring at them.As the next day arrived, Highess decided to log in and see what the situation was."Huh..." He was surprised. Right before his eyes, he saw indications the situation had changed drastically. "Changes are happening so quickly. Weren't there around 100 players before? Why are there only 10 left now? Did many players engage in massacres yesterday?"He wasn't surprised by this. It was evident that all players were becoming increasingly panicked. With only three da
