Chapter 560 Weird Golden Glow

'Based on the information the WAA gathered about the dungeon, the right path would eventually lead to a dead end, so as long as we kept turning left, we would eventually encounter a descending staircase along with the floor's guardian...' Shye pondered as he removed the black blood staining his greatswords.

To date, they've encountered only two types of monstrous creatures on the first floor: Voidlurkers, purple ape-like beings that typically hide in void pockets, and Shadow Creepers, black, monstrous creatures resembling praying mantises with crab-like claws and bony wings.

This brought slight comfort to their hearts as it confirmed that the information given to them by the WAA was accurate.

"Crowley."

Dalton's brutish voice sounded from behind him, prompting him to turn his head, glancing nonchalantly at the shielder, who had a rather awkward expression on his face.

"What?"

"I apologize for underestimating you earlier. From now on, I will fully heed your commands."

"Hmph. Fine, apology accepted. Just don't make the same mistake with the other champions from my region. And you need to pay closer attention to my instructions; sometimes you go in too deep."

"Y-Yeah, understood."

Shye was naturally happy to be acknowledged. However, he couldn't show his emotions too much.

He was the party leader, after all.

It was evident that Walter and Freeze wanted to do the same.

Unfortunately, their pride didn't allow them to.

Still, It was clear they would follow Shye's every command from now on, enabling Shye to adopt an even more aggressive and efficient approach.

...Continuing their journey inside the chillingly dark pathways of the Horza Blaidde Mana Dungeon, the WAA extermination party didn't encounter any monstrous creatures for a while.

Instead, after about forty minutes, they noticed something glowing golden at the end of the pathway they were walking along.

"Everyone, wait here. Rai Hou, come with me and help me check out this golden glow."

"Got it."

Shye decided that it might be too unsafe and inefficient for others to advance with them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After all, it was highly likely that the golden thing at the end of the pathway was a trap.

Since he was confident in his and Rai Hou's ability to survive for a while, Shye decided it would be best for the two of them to scout ahead and investigate. Their teammates could assist later if something went wrong.

Advancing vigilantly, Shye whispered:

It would be better to do it once his party members arrived.

Realizing that the creature's claw, infused with a black aura, was hurtling towards his neck at an incredible speed, Shye knew he had no choice but to defend himself in a direct confrontation.

"Tch."

He gripped his greatswords tighter, brandishing them diagonally upwards to repel the creature's claw.

'Power Slash! Boost! Boost! Boost!'

Naturally, since Shye was unaware of the monster's strength, he decided it would be best to use all three charges of his boost to increase his chances of winning, or at least surviving the clash of brute force.

Winds howled as the vague silhouette of the claw and the enormous greatswords ferociously headed toward the other, aiming to overpower their opponent.

Soon after, they collided, producing a cacophony of loud metallic noises and dull thuds that echoed across the dark pathways.

"Puhahk!"

Shye spat out blood.

As he expected, based on the monstrous creature's muscular physique, it had immense strength, and it was the correct decision to use all three charges of [Boost].

However, the creature wasn't unscathed.

Its entire right arm felt numb and its palm bled with black blood.

Still, it couldn't believe that a mere human, a young one at that, could stand up to its strength.

Hence, it felt threatened.

The creature knew that humans always attack in small groups of seven people.

This expectation quickly came through as multiple footsteps and voices echoed across the biting darkness.

"Crowley, we're here!"

"Heal!"

"Illumina!"

Walter's golden sphere ascended seven meters into the air once more, illuminating the entire area and revealing the form of the monstrous creature they were facing.

"W-What the hell is that thing..."
