At the same time when Alex was heading to the fifth, somewhere in Alkan's, the three guilds masters received at the same time a notification. Five of their subordinates had just kicked the bucket; they were permanently banned from Exodus.
Immediately they contacted their subordinates, Ainz who was enjoying his hobby frowned, however, he didn't stop doing what he was doing.
''Acck! Please, I don't want to die, please-"
Ainz twisted the blade piercing the player's back; the girl's body trembled before turning motionless, disappearing in the form of light.
Ainz, who had eliminated yet another player, again smiled and shook the blood off his sword before looking at the content of the message he had just received; his body froze and cursed.
''Fuck! Trevor, Steben, and the others stop playing. We have prey to chase, order from above, the others five have kicked the bucket, this time prey isn't your typical one.''
Ainz's words awoke the others. They quickly eliminated the players, and those that chose to follow them grouped, and under Ainz's leadership, they left.
•••••
Vivian's Maze, Fifth floor.
Alex felt a chill run down his spine the moment he stepped on this floor.
The air on this floor was too chilling. Standing in the center of the room was a giant, 8 meters tall, green zombie, but unlike normal zombies, this one almost resembled a ghoul, and its body was muscular.
[Deux Masson Level 150
A former great Ax user who fought countless battles but fell in love with Vivian, he willingly turned into her test subject.
Abilities: Split the Heaven Level 4; Whirlwind Level 3; Dash Level 7...]
''Roarrrrrrrrrr!''
The final Guardian of the fifth floor roared; he moved his ax and tried to swing it; however, something hilarious happened; Alex, who didn't want to drag this fight for too long, immediately used his time ability.
[Time Stop]
Time stopped, Alex could feel his MP draining at a visible rate surely because of the gap between the two; at this rate, he wouldn't last more than three seconds; however, three seconds were more than enough to finish this monster.
Alex summoned Silveria in a cool fashion, and a crimson bullet flew and blew apart Deux Masson's head, and time resumed.
Wanting to ask like in western movies, Alex was about to blow on the gun's muzzle when suddenly, all the hairs on his body rose up, and he instantaneously lowered his body, his head almost touching the ground.
Swoosh!
Masson's ax split the air and passed above Alex's head; if he hadn't listened to his instinct and acted upon it, he would have died split in two.
Alex rolled on the ground and distanced himself from Masson; he couldn't believe his eyes, that head who had disappeared entirely and even some part of his right shoulder was gone had instantly regenerated, no this surpassed even regeneration, it could be said this ability had entered the realm Time, it was as if time had been turned back just before Alex attacked.
Alex, who rolled on the ground, immediately fired a bullet.
Bang! Clang! Boom!
As the bullet collided with the ax blade, it was altered to the side and left a giant crater on the floor as Alex threw a knife behind Masson, and shadow shifted, appearing behind him, putting all his strength into his right leg, he brought his leg down.
Kaboom!
Masson's head was embedded into the floor; as Alex spun, he activated his Asura's form; before Masson could remove his head from the ground, a giant Alex happened behind him and aimed the giant gun at Masson, who had finally succeeded in removing his head from the ground.
BANG!
A bullet twice as Alex sliced through the air, space trembled, Masson tried to block with his ax. Still, the result was a failure; his body, along with his weapon, was erased, the giant bullet continued and pierced through the dungeon's wall, it trembled violently, a huge hole appeared, and the bullet disappeared to god know where.
Alex kneeled, his face brightened when he finally saw the long-awaited notification announcing the completion of the first quest.
[Congratulations to player Alex for successfully clearing the first quest.
Reward: 100 000 XP; 200 gold coins, and 300 Fame points. Key to the next dungeon.
Elvira has been rescued, and she is still unconscious, waiting for you somewhere, but due to a certain circumstance, you're unable to see her.
Quest update in the process.]
A copper key floated above Alex's head; Alex immediately grabbed it; he could feel a chilling sensation coming from this key. He decided to store it away for the moment because the next quest had not appeared.
Suddenly, the floor started shaking. Alex prepared himself as he knew that this meant that he was about to be sent outside of the dungeon. He knew that by now, a committee must be waiting for him outside because they must have learned about the other five he had slaughtered, and indeed his expectations weren't betrayed.
The moment Alex appeared outside of the thousand graves, a new notification resounded in his ears.
[Slaughter Party Part 2: The enemy became aware of your existence and became cautious, they decided to get rid of your existence.
Reward: + 1 Level; 50 000 XP, 100 points on your MP; 400 Fame points, and 500 gold coins.
Failure: -2 levels.]
Alex smiled; judging by how generous the second quest rewards were, the difficulty wasn't going to be any less high. Looking at the question description, Alex was not surprised that it was extremely high.
Closing his eye,s Alex activated his Divine Sens; he could more than twenty men closing in, the corners of his mouth perked up. Although the incoming men were too far from him, he could see some of their levels.
[... Level 130]
[.....Level 132]
[.... Level 137]
'Hehehe! Let's do some preparations before the slaughter party began..' Alex declared with a sweet smile on his face; however, considering what he was about to do, there was nothing sweet about this smile; on the contrary, it seemed wicked.
