"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
