Boooom!!!!!
Splash!!!!!
{You have slain...
"Shut yo bitch ass up... I know what I killed"
I couldnāt help lashing out at the system wanting to announce my kill...
The battle, if you could even call it that, Iād prefer calling it a victimization instead, between me and the Lizardmen began shortly after the stare down, and Itās finally official..
"I hate swamps with a passion"
I muttered as I ducked an arrowhead gunning straight for my head.
I swiveled on my feet, clenched my fist, then punched..
The air and murky water exploded with a
Booom!!!,
giving me an impromptu muddy shower..
"Great.. just fucking great.."
āNote to self, donāt go around creating shockwaves in a swampā
The shockwave carried far ahead, the foolish reptile that thought itself safe not even having the chance to move before being evicerated completely...
"Two down, eight left" I counted slowly, spitting out the murky swamp water Iād swallowed earlier..
...
I faced the remaining eight creatures thatād gotten into some sort of formation..
The spearman Lizardmen taking up the front, the shaman being placed in the middle whilst the remaining archers took cover within the tall trees...
"Alright, timeās wasting, letās make this fast"
Saying so, I clenched my fist harder...
Iād decided to use a move I hadnāt used since my first dungeon run..
Yea, that one..
My perception spread throughout the area..
Effectively taking command of the entire dungeonās atmospheric system..
I could feel the drain on my
CE..
"I guess I now know where my free points will be going in the near future"..
Now, my talent may have evolved into something insane, but that didnāt mean the "basic" application got overridden..
No! It merely became on of many on the list of stupid broken powers..
So with that thought, I condensed the entire weight of the dungeonās atmosphere around my fist..
"Hmm, this is different.."I muttered softly, the last time Iād tried this, it felt like I was carrying th weight of the world itself.
Yet now, it barely felt like I held anything at all, "seems my high attributes are in play once again" I smiled...
The monsters readied their skills and abilities..
"Heh.. not so fast fellas.."
I smirked, cocking my arm back, the motion causing a visible strain on space itself..
With my arm fully cocked back, I let it loose...
Boooooooommmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
Once again, the entire area erupted in destruction, only this time there wasnāt any debris or rubble, just murky rain and scattered limbs...
{Ding}
{Floor cleared}...
"Next..."
The light flashed, and once more I was teleported away, this time appearing even deeper within the swamp..
It seems each floor housed a particular type of monster and progression merely takes you closer to the core of that territory..
I couldnāt be sure because it was just the 12th floor, but regardless,
BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!
A cataclysmic punch was what greeted the muddy area, I didnāt bother waiting for the creatures to swarm me..
After all, how will you conduct a test without the venue?
So...
I just straight up collapsed the entire floor..
{...Ding}
{Floor....cleared}
The drag with which the system or was it the tower itself? Announced my success shows clearly that even the system that governed this trial was just about tired of me pulling this stunt..
"Hehe... Iām just getting started..."
"Next"
Following another flash of light, I vanished.
The moment I appeared on the next floor, I didnāt bother waiting, instantly willing the entire atmospheric weight around my fist, I released another devastating blow..
Booooom!!!!
No suspense, the entire floor went to kingdom come..
{....Ding..}
"Hahahahahahahah... come on tower, lighten up.. next" I laughed boisterously.
I canāt lie, I was enjoying the thrill of just being a "wreck it Ralph"...
The system or tower or whatever was in charge cna bitch all it wants, but this king wasnāt about to let his day be ruined by spending it in don marshy humid environment..
The only humid wet environment I care about were the ones between the legs of my women..
The familiar sensation of teleportation took hold of me once more, bringing me to the 14tg floor..
I didnāt even want to know what creature the tower spawned, what level it had. Mutation or not..
If you didnāt survive a blow then tou Werenāt worth it..
NONE of the monsters survide a single blow..
Hell, not even the environment survived.
A wake of devastation and destruction left my wake..
And so, within 10 minuets Iād already made it to the 19th floor...
BOOOOOOM!!!!
Splash!!!!!
With a satisfying explosion, the waters erupted upward, bodies of both lizardmen and some creatures of found earlier...
At the rate I was going..
Forget three days, I might just clear this entire thing as a sham alert...
The familiar flash of light brought up once more, the doors of the goblin king wordš....
Outside the Solarium spire...
"Heās done it again...
"Heās fucking doing it again" someone yelled enthusiastically...
"Fuck.. one punch clear.. and itās not just monsters, this bastard is clearing literal floors!"
The audience had gone wild...
What they were seeing was something theyād never imagined possible..
How did one clear trials by obliterating the entire floor without even bothering to check what spawned and what didnāt?
Did that make any sense?
The people currently watching Dante blitz through the floors with menacing momentum couldnāt help themselves, their eyes looked towards the leaderboard, landing on the current second place..
900 points.. Thaddeus Calder..
"Damn.. the young master is still only on the 9th floor? Whatās he doing? The monsters arenāt even that tough?" Someone native to Helios city couldnāt help muttering in disgruntlement..
Seeing the young master of the
Calder Family, a branch of the IMPERIAL CALDER FAMILY,
being overshadowed by some no name..
Heād conveniently downgraded the strengths of the creatures, Dante having made them look too weak..
"Heh.. letās see just how much pride your so called golden prince has after these tests" a mocking voice replied the Helios city native...
"HEāS ON THE 20th FLOOR!!!!"
The announcement instantly drew everyoneās gazes back to the main event of the moment...
....
"Damn it... who the fuck is this Dante????" The black haired young man roared in annoyance..
Heād just cleared the 9th floor, a group of over a dozen
[ELITE]<Hobgoblins>,
theyād given him little problem, heād have cleared them earlier if he wasnāt managing his mana for the higher floors..
Yet when his gaze landed on the leaderboard, specifically on the topmost name..
Dante Draven- 1,900 points..
He couldnāt help the feeling of rage bubbling up within him..
"Alright then, since you wish to share my spotlight so much, Iāll humor you.." he spat out through gritted teeth..
"Next.."
......
"Ha..hahaha..Dante! Dante!!! DANTE!!!!!!!"
Wooooshhhh!!
Booom!!!
A roaring inferno of flames tore through the surrounding kobolds, leaving nothing but ashes in his wake..
"Haaa...haaa...damn it... damn it all... youāll pay for this.. Iāll make sure you pay for this..." Micheal was spiraling..
This was supposed to be HIS stage..
HE had a SSS-rank bloodline..
HE had a SS-rank talent..
This was supposed to be his announcement to the world and those "prodigies" that he wasnāt to be looked over yet...
"You!!! And E-rank trash dared to take my stage!!!?? Youāll payyyy!!!!""
Rooooarrrrrrr...
Flames bust out of his body, his eyes bleeding liquid magma..
"Next!!"
With a flash of white light he was teleported to the 7th floor..
His thoughts swiveling around someone who currently had no idea heād sent two egotistical fools spiraling..
