Chapter 13 The Tremors of the Dungeon
"roar!"
The remaining four or five werewolves let out a low growl and pounced on Roy frantically, their sharp teeth and claws serving as weapons to tear the intruder apart.
Seeing this, Roy showed no fear.
His adrenaline surged, and Roy licked the blood from his arm wound. The strong, metallic taste of blood filled his mouth and shot straight to the top of his head. The stimulation from the pain made his mind exceptionally clear.
The excitement continued to rise.
In this life-or-death struggle, only at this moment did Roy feel that everything around him was truly real.
He has gained extraordinary power!
Before me are monsters from the dungeon!
He was fighting, risking his life!
A maniacal smile crept across Roy's lips, his eyes bloodshot and menacing. If anyone else saw Roy at this moment, they would most likely mistake him for one of those crazed terrorists from the Dark Faction.
He harbors a certain madness deep within him, and his thirst for power has become almost an obsession.
Surprisingly, Roy quickly adapted to the dungeon battles and became familiar with the power of Grace.
The werewolf's attacks flashed through his mind: the locations of its claws, clubs, and fangs.
Bang!
Roy stopped retreating and instead took the initiative, rushing forward and plunging his longsword, which he held with both hands, into the chest of the werewolf in front of him, causing the werewolf's body to explode.
The sudden change caught even the werewolves off guard; their instincts told them what had happened to this weak human.
But he is not a heretic after all.
After a brief moment of surprise, the werewolves pounced on Roy, who had fallen into their midst, from all directions.
Roy spun a large windmill, and the cold, sharp blade easily sliced off the heads of three werewolves around him. Their bodies immediately exploded, and fragments of magic stones fell.
With only one werewolf remaining, it seized the opportunity to rush behind Roy, but it was too late to swing its sword.
Ride with the wind!
Roy's mind raced, and he activated the special effect of his Wind Chaser Boots, increasing his agility by 30%.
A gust of wind swirled around Roy's calves as he shifted his ankles, facing the werewolf directly. He unleashed his power instantly, charging forward with near-A-level agility on full display.
boom!
Roy braced himself against the wooden stick the werewolf was swinging down, and with a powerful slam, he slammed the werewolf against the wall, making a dull thud.
The last werewolf's body convulsed and exploded.
On the fifth floor, the entire werewolf monster horde was wiped out!
Roy exhaled a breath of stale air, took out a bottle of low-level life potion, pried open the stopper with his thumb, and gulped it down, making a "glug glug" sound.
The potion does not restore physical strength, but only treats injuries. A burst of emerald green light emanated from Roy's body, and a tingling sensation came from the wound on his forearm.
The effect was remarkable; after seven or eight seconds, the wound on Roy's forearm began to scab over.
[Strength: 5→18 (I)]
Endurance: 8→36 (I)
【Dexterity: 0→9 (l)】
Roy saw the panel that popped up, and apart from his agility, which was far beyond the standard for that floor, which had not increased, all other attributes had increased to varying degrees.
[Magic: 0 (I)]
Needless to say, his magic power remains unchanged. Roy probably will only increase his magic power after acquiring magic and continuously using it.
Alternatively, you could use cheats to transfer attribute points earned from running dungeons to the skill tree, thus skipping the forging process entirely.
Roy stretched and entered the dungeon, enjoying a satisfying slaughter of monsters. He had already accomplished half of his objective; as for the other goal…
Before engaging in the war game with the Rudra clan, he needed to confirm whether his cheat system could be transferred to other worlds within the dungeon.
[Giant Dungeon: Wall Maria is about to fall! For each giant killed, you will be rewarded with 30-100 attribute points based on the giant's physical abilities. A special reward will be triggered when you kill thirty giants!]
Should we proceed immediately?
Roy reached out and moved towards the "Yes" option.
Just as he was about to touch it, Roy shuddered, a sense of extreme danger welling up inside him, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.
Eyes were watching him from every direction.
Roy broke out in a cold sweat. His fingers stopped, his keen intuition telling him that if he pressed down, something terrible would happen!
Don't be fooled by his frenzied actions when he killed the werewolf; he knew that werewolves were a worthy opponent.
To charge headlong into an enemy you can't possibly defeat is suicide! Even if you gave the red-eyed rabbit a "hero's wish," he wouldn't dare to challenge the mighty Ota at level 2.
Suddenly, a hint of madness, terrifying even to high-level adventurers, surfaced deep within Roy's bloodshot eyes, and he once again pressed the "Yes" option with his finger.
"hold head high!"
A deafening roar erupted from the depths of the dungeon, filled with intense rage, rising layer by layer upwards. Upon hearing this sound, the monsters' eyes instantly turned blood red, and they became incredibly frenzied.
The adventurers who remained in the dungeon were now in dire straits. The monsters before them had gone berserk, their attributes suddenly increasing by a level, causing them immense suffering.
The same applies to Loki's clan, who are currently on an expedition.
The earth shook violently, causing the entire underground city to tremble, a sensation that could be felt even on the surface.
This roar was like a bucket of ice water poured over Roy's head. He immediately regained his composure, silently withdrew his fingers, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Was the dungeon a warning to him?!
Roy's interest in the dungeon grew stronger, and information about the dungeon began to surface in his mind.
The underground city is a huge hole that appeared three thousand years ago, the "womb" of monsters. People's knowledge of the underground city is limited to this. As for why this vast underground world exists, they know nothing.
The only certainty is that this underground labyrinth, like humans and monsters, is "alive."
Even if the walls are damaged, the dungeon will repair the damaged parts and restore its original structure after a period of time.
Why is there light underground? Why are monsters born? Why does the labyrinth's structure return to its original state?
From ancient times to the present, none of the mysteries surrounding the dungeons have been answered.
The gods, who should be omniscient after descending to the mortal realm, seem to be feigning ignorance or genuinely unaware of the truth, refusing to reveal even a trace of it to the people.
"A dungeon is just a dungeon." The gods always said this with a smile, and then brushed it off.
Roy's eyes were filled with fervor as he looked toward the dark and deep passage to the sixth level. He was determined to break through the dungeon and uncover its hidden secrets.
Bang!
As if sensing Roy's determination, the dungeon responded, with more than a dozen werewolves bursting out of the wall, their eyes flashing with crimson light, and surrounding him.
"bring it on!"
Roy was filled with pride. He planned to conquer the dungeon and turn these werewolves into his experience points as his first step.
They rushed towards each other, and a fierce battle ensued.
