The first few floors were a walk in the park for a mighty force of over a hundred people. They easily walked through, killing the monsters as they went, but as soon as they stepped into the sixth floor, Silva started heating things up.
The group decided that they would rest on the sixth floor, as there was a large area. They had been inside for four hours now, so rest was needed for the weaker members.
Since the beginning, the adventurers from the city kept casting looks at Silva and Dawn. The two of them were the odd ones out, a kid and a beastman.
But Silva didn’t have an issue; the whole thing was about to fall apart anyway. It was time to unleash the power of his dungeon.
As they camped there, a heavy amount of bloodlust reached them, and from the darkness, four mighty minotaurs walked out holding massive axes.
The whole group got to their feet when they saw this. These minotaurs were considered peak B-ranked monsters.
And their rage mode would be able to kill an A-rank, so they needed to stop them fast.
“All mages, get ready to attack from a distance,” Orion yelled, but only his mages answered. Those from Ribest waited for Silva to talk.
“Dawn, Quin, and Lucas, take one minotaur out each,” Silva said and charged at one himself.
The three of them did as he said and started charging at a minotaur.
Because of them, the mages that were about to attack stopped. If they attacked, they would hit Silva and the other three.
Lucas drew his sword and took a step, his body phased, and when he appeared, he was in the air behind the minotaur. He slashed off the head cleanly.
Quin was fast on his feet. He waited for the minotaur to attack, then dodged. The axe struck the ground, and Quin stepped on the shaft and leaped into the air.
He spun around and slashed the minotaur’s head off.
Dawn got within ten meters of the minotaur. She took out her sword and threw it. It dug into the head of the minotaur, throwing it back and slamming it against the wall.
Silva didn’t do anything special. He just leaped into the air and punched the head of the minotaur, turning it into meat paste.
‘Sorry that I had to use you four to make this look real,’ Silva said in his mind. He already knew that quite a few monsters would be lost in this stupid thing.
“What the hell are you doing?” Orion barked at him.
“What I came to do, take out the monster and raid the dungeon,” Silva said with a nonchalant attitude.
“You brat, you think you are something special?” Orion asked.
“Well, I became what it took you three decades to become in just twelve years. Of course, I am special. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Oh, you think I don’t know about you? I did my research. You were stuck at B-rank for many years.
You became a B-rank at the age of thirty, and that was still considered good, but you are a noble, and such speed was pathetic for a noble of your status.
So you turned to drugs and potions, forcefully pushing your strength to A-rank, and now you have been stuck there for years, unable to advance.
When the discussion of the raid came up, you quickly used your position as a noble to be chosen because you believe that this is where you can advance. Pathetic.” Silva said with spite in his eyes.
All this information, he got from the Viscount. He asked the Viscount to look into the family of whoever was sent to the raid, and Orion was from the Lukesworth Barony.
As such, the Viscount easily got the information he needed and gave it to Silva, and now Silva was using it against him.
“You filthy piece of shit!” Orion roared and drew his sword at Silva. He charged in like a bullet and slashed at Silva’s neck.
But then, a blade blocked his attack. He looked up and saw Dawn had blocked him. She was very pissed. She pushed his sword back and sent a kick to his chest.
Orion flew and slammed into the wall, and this triggered a fight. Both sides collided, the people of Ribest versus the city.
But this was all phase one of the plan Silva had set up because now that tension was high, working together could no longer happen, and the monsters could finally roll in.
Close to fifty minotaurs headed their way, the stampede shaking the ground, but because of the fight, they didn’t notice until it was too late.
Orion tried to bring back order, he yelled, but nothing was working. That was when he realized that his voice was being suppressed.
He looked over to Silva and saw Silva smiling, and that was when he knew he had messed up. They all messed up the moment they stepped in here.
There was no choice, he had to run, he had to run now. But as he took a step, he stepped on a rock that activated a pitfall.
It was quite wide, and so close to ten people fell into it. The A-ranked adventurers knew they had to do something fast, but Silva didn’t want the chaos to stop like that, so he used his skill, Fear, to cause them to scatter in all directions.
The minotaurs gave chase, eagerly pursuing the adventurers. Their job was to lead them down to the lower floors.
The reason Silva had triggered that initial fight was so that if Ribest adventurers and Blackcity adventurers found themselves together, they would be unable to rely on each other and would cause each other harm.
Now, only Silva and Quin’s party remained. They had stuck to him, just as he told them to. They too had run into a corridor, and three minotaurs were chasing them.
“You guys go ahead, Dawn and I will take care of the minotaurs,” Silva said, and he and Dawn turned back and headed for the minotaurs.
Quin didn’t question it. Even he could fight the minotaurs, but his legs just kept running for some reason.
