"This place is too monotonous."
Sofia spoke her mind, which broke the silence. As they continued to advance, Sofia felt that the place began to get gloomy and gloomy. Unlike before, now, they walked on a spacious path.
Fein just quietly led the way. This time, his perception was fully opened. In this way, he would detect if there's danger or monsters ahead of them in advance. It's also a way to avoid traps.
'Perception is really perfect for explorations,' Fein thought inwardly. It was as if he have an advanced radar and he didn't even need flashlights.
Due to their previous experience in the Monster World. Fein became more and more familiar with exploration. He knew how terrible the traps were in this kind of place. He doesn't want to encounter things like the ghoul swarm again. Who knows what kind of beings or how many ghouls were inside the other side? Even now, that experience still creeps him out. The only gain in that incident was managed to quickly fill the astronomical amount of soul required for the evolution of his Dragon Abyssal Death Blade.
"Guys, it seems the first enemies are here."
Fein felt hundreds or even thousands of presences ahead of them. Though he wasn't that nervous because he could feel that their aura was just D ranks monsters with few C ranks. For such low ranks, Fein didn't even need to pull out his sword. No, he doesn't even need to participate. He could just leave it to Voli and Aoi. Though, he won't do that. After all, his Abyssal Sword needs a lot of souls to evolve into its next evolution... Destruction Abyssal Blade.
"How strong, master?" Voli was the one who asked this time.
"Most of them are just D-ranks and there are five C ranks. But don't get overconfident, we are just on the first floor. As proceed, the monster that we will encounter will only get stronger and stronger. Understand?"
Hearing this, Sofia clenched her fist. If the monsters on the first floor were already D ranks or C ranks. Wouldn't that mean that for the 5th floor onwards, there's a higher possibility of A ranks? And even S ranks?
Currently, Sofia was just an A rank. She was aware that if they really face a bunch of S-rank monsters, she could only offer limited help. 'Fortunately, Aoi has evolved to mythic and become an S-rank.'
With that, the group focuses on the sight in front of them. There's a side-by-side wall. Made of gray stones. Torches lined up every two meters on the left and the right wall. On the ceiling, it was still the same arctic stone, but with the absence of the orbs. As for the ground, it was rough ground. In some parts, the group could see weeds.
As they continued their pace, on the wall, drawings started to appear... The drawings were about a man facing an army of gargoyles with a broken sword. This picture made the group slow down for a moment.
That's when they finally heard a tremor on the ground. Seventy meters, they saw a variety of monsters. Some had weapons in their hands... The monsters just roamed around the place mindlessly. As if they don't have a sense of direction.
"Monsters below the B rank realm are really stupid." Seeing such a sight made Voli disdainful. After all, in his case, he could really understand a lot of things when he was still in the juvenile stage.
Fein just smiled when he heard Voli's words. He didn't think of refuting at all. After all, Voli was really abnormal when he first met him. He has a perverted defense, a clever brain that he could even deceive his enemies, and a high affinity to two elements. In his opinion, this fact is what made Voli special. A legendary beast would naturally be disdainful of the common monster's behavior.
Aoi, on the other hand, although didn't express her opinion. She was in the same position as Voli. But unlike Voli, she was aware of the reason why her monsters like them with a grade were disdainful of the lower ranks. It's because higher monsters were aware that if didn't have good blood purity, they would be in the same state as the weaker monsters.
The strength and potential of the monster were largely determined by their blood purity.
"Guys, leave this horde of monsters to me," Fein smirked.
Sofia just nodded her head readily and was too lazy to fight the weaker monster.
Voli, who has an excited expression for the incoming battle, became disappointed when he heard his master. His paws are already itchy and he wants to fight.
Seeing Voli's reaction, Fein smiled a little. "As compensation, I'll cook something good for you. I really need to kill a lot of monsters for my sword."
Voli's eyes lit up at Fein's proposal, which made Sofia chuckle Sofia looked at Fein and asked. "What do you mean?"
"Master's sword needs a soul for evolution." Voli, who had been with Fein since day one, answered.
"Really? That's a bit creepy." It was the first time Sofia heard of a sword that needs the soul of living for promotion. She couldn't help but glance at the sword in Fein's hand, a little nervous.
Fein's mouth twitched slightly at Sofia's reaction. "Hey, don't look at my sword that way. My sword, in the future, would become the most powerful sword there is. In fact, my sword is picky for the soul. It only devours those sentient and high-quality ones."
Just like that, they finally closed the distance between them and the monsters. When the monster saw humans, their expression immediately turned hideous. A dark film of light enveloped all of them.
The dark creatures from the first floor to the sixth floor hate humans extremely. Because the ones that forcibly controlled them are the witches, which were also human.
Growl of monsters spread within ten meters of the place. They are dark-skinned goblins, dark-skinned ghouls, undead skeletons with swords, and dark-skinned orcs.
"What kind of base is this? It's more like this place is the home of dark creatures..." Fein remembered that he had read one's information about dark creatures in the monster illustration. His eyebrows tightened a little.
