The third floor was no different than the first two floors as Liam cleared all the mobs at an insane pace and once again started searching for the passageway that led further up. The dungeon itself was quite huge that it took twenty and thirty men groups about an hour to finish in entirety. But for Liam, it had only barely been a few minutes since he started the run, and he was already on the third floor. From there, it again took him only a handful of minutes to locate the next passageway. With every discovery, he was becoming more and more excited as he couldn't see the limit of where this was headed. While inside the tutorial game, though the opportunities were plenty, his time was cut short but now, he had the time. Only the first wave of the apocalypse had been triggered up until now. He had plenty of time until the real horrors began to show up. The unfortunate part was that he had no way to prepare for this. This was why he had been fishing for opportunities by grinding the quests from the magic shop. But now, another brand new path had opened up in front of him. He was not going to waste this opportunity. As Liam broke down the walls for the next passageway, this time instead of chimera beasts, surprisingly, a group of orc soldiers rushed forward. Each of them was tall and sturdy and was at least Level 45. Bingo! This was exactly what he was waiting for! Liam immediately summoned his main battalion, his first string soul minions. The next second, the wyverns, Crawford, Dimitri, the six-winged lion, and the striped white tiger, all showed up ready to battle. In front of these minions, the dozen orcs could not really put up a fight, and they crumbled and dropped like flies, just like the other beasts. Finally, the experience points also started to accumulate bit by bit. However, the experience points given by this dungeon were extremely sparse when compared to the tutorial game. Just seeing the small numbers was extremely painful. Though Liam was thankful for this opportunity to improve his strength, this was a harsh reminder that it was not going to be so easy. However, after everything he had faced, Liam was not going to be deterred by something so small. If all that was needed for him to get stronger was to fight relentlessly and spend every second of his waking time doing it, he was ready for that. The fourth floor of the dungeon posed him no threat, as he once again did not even have to lift a finger. He continued pushing forward, relying just on the strength of his minions. Even the final boss was not an issue. A few more minutes passed by, and Liam quickly found the passageway for the next floor. Finally, he was on the fifth floor and was going to cross the level 50 threshold in this dungeon. More orcs dashed forward as Luna and the wyverns made quick work of the group. Unexpectedly, the rest of the floor was also a joke, as there weren't any other surprises. Just the minions alone were able to handle the fight. Liam received some experience points as well. He didn't mind because he was Level 80 and these beasts were still thirty levels below him and didn't appear to have formed any mana cores. So they couldn't measure up to Liam's abilities and died just as quickly as the rest. He successfully found the next passageway as well. "Maybe this one will be challenging." Liam licked his lips and stepped forward, but as soon as he did, he came to a grinding halt. A barrier popped up in front of him without any warning. It was a translucent blue-colored barrier, akin to a pure mana barrier, but a very strong one that was already repelling him before he could even take a step forward. He could feel the strong mana waves coming out of the barrier even from a distance. "Damn it." Liam punched the barrier in front of him in frustration, but that only proved useless as it did not even budge an inch. He waited there at the same spot for a couple more minutes and tried again. The same message once again popped up. "I guess I have no choice." Liam turned back and left the dungeon, the same way he had entered. However, he did not return to the base just yet and decided to pay the other dungeon a visit as well. He wanted to know if this strange thing was only happening in this dungeon or if it could happen in any dungeon on the planet. It would be extremely amusing if the latter were true because it would mean that the majority of the population had been as blind as bats their entire lives, not knowing what was in their own backyard. They would have wasted such a precious resource for training and becoming stronger. No wonder that when the subsequent trials of the apocalypse arrived, the entire planet was completely wiped out. Liam let out a sigh as he dismissed all of his soul friends and hopped on top of Luna. The duo headed to the second dungeon, whose location they knew, and dove right into the green portal. This one was also a chimera dungeon, with various poisonous chimeras roaming about. There were all sorts of poisonous insects and beasts crawling in the dungeon. Liam did not waste any time and summoned the big shots right away to take care of the trash. Meanwhile, he punched the cavern network walls systematically, and not too long after, just like in the other dungeon, a passageway actually opened up! *** Mass Release Chapter 5~ Please thank Teddy Penguin for sponsoring this mass release!
