Chapter 338 Chapter 337: Pa.s.sive Leveling
"We are here…" Zach muttered as he gazed at the entrance of the dungeon.
[Why did you skip the dungeon of the lower realms, my liege?] Cerberus asked.
"They would have given me less EXP than this dungeon. Today, I want to hit level 100 at any cost, so I can open the quest to challenge the realm boss. It is time for the G.o.ds to know that I am after their neck," he replied in a lifeless voice.
[Does that mean that we wouldn"t be able to partake in the dungeon fight?]
"Well, yeah. If you guys kill the monsters and clear the dungeon on my behind, I only get 10% of the EXP. Maybe I will send you all to clear the dungeons of the lower realms.
Hmm…" Zach placed his hand on the chin and nodded, "That"s actually a good idea. While I am clearing this dungeon, I will send the rank 3, 4, and 5 demons to clear the dungeons of the lower realms. Even if I get a low EXP. I would at least get something. It"s like pa.s.sively leveling."
Zach ordered all the rank 3, 4, and 5 demons to come out of his shadow, and they emerged within a second.
They all knelt down in front of Zach and waited for their next order.
"I want you to go to the lower realms and clear the dungeons. Protect each other and watch your back. Don"t die on me, it"s an order," Zach a.s.serted.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-.ᴄᴏᴍ
"And you are going to clear the mixed dungeon, so there are chances that you will run into other players. If you do run into them, don"t engage with them. They will most likely try to attack you thinking you are the monsters. In such cases, hide in the shadows.
Listen carefully, this is an important mission, and I don"t want you guys to screw it up. I will be outraged if I get to know that you did something stupid like the last time.
I will punish everyone accordingly upon failure and praise you upon a successful dungeon expedition. The punishment will be that I will "release" you— meaning death. And the reward will be that…"
Zach pondered for a while and a.s.serted loudly: "I will name the one with the most kill count. Three of them. So go all out, but make sure to look out for each other. If any of you die, I will hold all of you responsible for it."
The army of the undead demons nodded and stood up. One of the rank five demons stared at Zach and then moved its gaze to Cerberus.
[Don"t stare at me! I will gobble you up!] Cerberus yelled in anger.
However, the rank five demon kept staring at him.
[You dare!] Cerberus charged at the demon to crush him, but it disappeared into the shadows like the rest of the undead army. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ
[My liege!] Cerberus turned to Zach. [Please do something about them!]
"Even if you ask me that, what am I supposed to do?"
[They always annoy me even when I am resting in your shadow, they make noises. And when I sleep, they use my body as a punching bag and try their newly learned attacks.]
"Wow. Their bullying has increased a lot, huh?"
[Please allow me to kill them all!]
"I can"t do that. I need them, you know?"
[Why? I am enough for you! I am thousands of times stronger than them, and I can do what they can"t do. I can even speak and have normal conversations with you while they can"t even utter a word!]
Cerberus" fury was over the roof. His rivalry with Zach"s other undead army was inevitable, and each and every one of them was trying to prove that they were better than the other. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
"It seems he has reached his limit."
"I will talk to them and warn them not to disturb you next time, okay?"
[What if they still continue it? Can I kill them?]
"No, stop talking about killing your teammates. And they won"t annoy you. If they do, you may inform me, and I will punish them," Zach stated with a sigh.
[Teammates? They are nothing but burdens! I hate sharing my s.p.a.ce with them!]
"Alright, that"s enough. Let"s proceed with the dungeon," Zach ordered.
"Yes, my liege."
Zach raised his brow and said, "You need to change your form to mini Cerberus. And don"t you dare interfere in the battles or try to steal my EXP, got it?"
[But what if you are cornered, or you need my help?]
Zach"s face twitched repeatedly as he glared at Cerberus and uttered, "How dare you think I will get cornered?"
pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ Cerberus ran inside the dungeon after saying, [We are getting late, my liege.]
Zach shook his head in disbelief and let out a weary sigh as he muttered, "He is getting more and more brazen lately."
Zach entered the dungeon and began the expedition on the first floor.
Every realm had different types of monsters in the dungeon, and less and less players knew what kind of monsters they would fight next.
Fortunately, few of the explorers have made a realms" journal that had all the information about the realms, including its physical map drawn with certain secret locations which were not available on the menu map.
Not only that, it had recommendations of the gear according to the player"s level. It also had everything about the dungeons, and it was regularly updated with new types of monsters they encountered.
It had monsters sorted out with floors and difficulty levels with its weaknesses and critical hit spots.
There were many recommendations and suggestions for the players that helped them level up faster and better.
It was a bible for the players, and they even published it for the players. It was also copied and distributed to the guildhall of all the realms, but they had to pay for a personal copy, although it was totally worth it.
