Chapter 251 . Above the Frozen Land (2)

The giant Skeleton Wolf certainly looked like the fusion of a Giant Wolf and a Wendigo . It emitted freezing energy, was huge, and carried immense power . However, no matter how powerful he was, as long as it was within my expectation, it wasn’t of any threat to me .

[Kuaaaaa!]

It was also incredibly fast . Yet, I was faster . Its freezing energy was powerful, but weaker than Ruyue’s . It could enlarge its head or front paw, but I didn’t allow myself to get hit even once . Compared to the Hermit King who could completely erase his presence, the Skeleton Wolf’s presence was just too big .

When it enlarged a part of its body, the energy gathering in that area was too large for me not to notice it . The only way I would be hit is if I purposely let myself be hit . I couldn’t even understand why I couldn’t notice it in the past .

“This older brother has other things to do today! I don’t have time to play around with you! Overlord!”

Since I didn’t plan on fighting after this, I used Overlord without hesitation . There was no way Beyond’s 25th Floor Master could withstand a power that could kill worlds’ enemies . When the Skeleton Wolf saw the energy inside me expanding, it howled .

[Kuoooooo!]

[Frost Skeleton Wolf’s ‘Collapsing Roar’ rings out . Everything with form begins to collapse . Everything being collapsed will freeze with the Frost Skeleton Wolf’s mana and will attack you!]

I see, so this was the reason the Floor Master room was a snowy mountain! After hearing message noona’s report, I quickly summoned Sharana, infusing her into me and flying up . The ground below me was the first to collapse, while the peak of the snowy mountain followed suit . Then, controlled by the Frost Skeleton Wolf’s mana, they all began to fly towards me . After using Collapsing Roar, the Frost Skeleton Wolf also froze parts of the air and charged towards me in the sky .

Watching everything shooting towards me with intent to kill, I smirked . It was like watching a bigger version of Gaia Buster! With my current stats, even if I couldn’t perform the same feat, I would probably be able to do half of what the Skeleton Wolf could do .

Although there wasn’t anywhere for me to use Gaia Buster at the moment, once I got back to Antarctica, there would be more than enough land .

“Ruyue, I’ll leave the defense to you! Peika, let’s go full power!”

[Un!]

[Show that doggy Master’s power!]

Ruyue flew up and reached forward towards the incoming boulders of ice . After taking over 20% of my mana, she enclosed them all with her own ice and put them under her control .

Noting that I was safe from attacks, I accelerated in an instant and pointed my golden lightning covered spear towards the Frost Skeleton Wolf . Peika’s lightning was heightened by Lightning God’s power and mixed with Heroic Aura to transform into a platinum colored lightning . Even after being concentrated into a single point, streaks of lightning crackled outward . Though a bit embarrassing, it was a scene worthy of the name Lightning God .

“You’re not strong enough! The height I’m envisioning is higher and farther, the pinnacle of the dungeon!”

[I’ll return it to you! Take it!]

At the same time I thrust forward with my spear, Ruyue’s shout also rang out . The countless chunks of frozen land and boulders in the air all shot towards the Skeleton Wolf following her command . The Skeleton Wolf could only howl and face them head on, but his howling was beginning to sound like screams .

[You cleared Beyond’s 25th floor . You obtained the qualification to challenge the First Dungeon’s 76th floor . ]

[Your maximum HP and MP increase by 2% . You obtained 5 bonus stats . ]

[Experience has been added to skills you frequently used to progress through Beyond’s 25th floor . ]

[You defeated Beyond’s fifth Floor Master, Frost Skeleton Wolf! You obtained the title ‘Frost Skeleton Wolf Slayer . ’ All stats increase by 1 . ]

[Choose your reward . ]
[1 . Collapsing Ring . ]

[He was weak!]

“Even Beyond’s Floor Master is nothing to Ruyue . Amazing . ”

[Ehehehe . ]

Although Skeleton Wolf was weaker than the Dragon Zombie, its ability to collapse and control land was truly terrifying . If I didn’t have my elementals, I might have had more trouble .

Still, to seize the control of those huge boulders… Did the terrain boost Ruyue’s ability? In any case, since I knew she had the highest contribution, I praised her wholeheartedly as I patted her . Then, I read the messages I just received .

It somewhat made sense that I wasn’t the first to defeat the Frost Skeleton Wolf solo, but I was still surprised . It meant there was someone else that climbed to Beyond’s 25th floor .

The seniors before me, just how far in Beyond did they go? What about in the First Dungeon? What about that man in Beyond’s Residential Area? Although I was full of questions, I buried them inside . I knew it was only a matter of time until I found out .

Next, the Collapsing Ring’s effect was beyond my expectations . Just like how the Echo Ring from Beyond’s Floor Master amplified roar type skills, the Collapsing Ring had a terrifying effect of doubling the range of all skills that crumbled land .

I immediately thought of earthquake magic that magicians used, but what I had was Gaia Buster . I wanted to test it out immediately, but the snowy mountain ruined by the Frost Skeleton Wolf’s Collapsing Roar wasn’t a place I could stay leisurely . When I left, I saw a completely unexpected customer at the Floor Shop .

“Oh, it’s that Hero in Double Crisis . ”

“Gek . ”

“Hold on, what’s up with that sound like a frog that just got stepped on with a high-heel?”

“Oh, Shin-nim . That was really fast . ”

The one talking to Loretta was none other than Eleine, Lost Valley’s master . As the last talk I had about her wasn’t particularly joyful, it felt awkward seeing her face . I silently looked at Loretta, asking her with my face why she was here .

“Ah, she said she had to talk about work . I didn’t know when Shin-nim would return, so I couldn’t leave the Floor Shop . ”

“You should do things in moderation, Loretta . If you fall too deep, you won’t know how to climb back up . ”

“Be quiet before you fall too deep to climb back, Eleine . ”

Eleine pouted and went silent . With a wry smile, I waved goodbye and was about to leave when Loretta stopped me .

“I’ll be done soon, so stay and play with me, please?”

“If an administrative guild master came all the way to discuss something, it can’t be simple . I’ll come back later, we can play then . ”

Eleine nodded seriously while still staying quiet . Loretta glared at Eleine with killing intent, but in the end, she sighed and took out an axe from the… Wait, that wasn’t a sigh of resignation!?
Eleine, who didn’t notice Loretta’s axe, suddenly looked at me with sparkling eyes . When I was wondering what was up, she spoke rather unexpected words .

“Hero, I already heard you defeated two worlds’ enemies! Then can you take care of our business too?”

Before I could respond, Loretta fixed her grip on her axe and spoke .

“Eleine… Cut it out . ”

“Isn’t it natural to give quests to qualified explorers? That’s the administrative guild members’ job . ”

“But he’s already busy! If you keep bothering my Shin-nim, I’ll make you regret it!”

Even after hearing Loretta’s threat, Eleine continued to look at me with great interest . I shook my head with a wry smile .

“Sorry, but I can’t right now . There are too many things I have to do on Earth . ”

“Really? We still have some time so contact me when you’re done with… Hiik!”

Loretta’s giant axe struck the dungeon floor, making a thunder roar that rang out with Eleine’s shriek .

“L-Loretta, are you really doing this!?”

“Shin-nim, I’m sorry but we’ll have to play later . I have something else to take care of now . ”

“Uh, mm… Okay . Try to avoid murder, Loretta . ”

At my advice, Loretta retorted lightly, as if she was about to catch an annoying mosquito flying around in the room .

“I’ll consider it . ”

“Hey, Hero! You’re running away! I’ll get my revenge!”

“Loretta, I won’t mind even if Loretta becomes a criminal . Just saying . ”

“Yes, Shin-nim! I understand!”

“Hero, you! That’s assisting murder! A crime! Hey!”

With that, I safely escaped from Loretta and Eleine .

“Strange . Really strange . ”

Licorice looked uncomfortable during the entire time we were exploring Antarctica .

“I had fun with Dear Husband, but why doesn’t it feel like it? Why?”

“I’m sure it’s just your imagination . Maybe you’ll change your mind once we clear a dungeon . ”

“No, it must be because it wasn’t enough . In that case, I have to spend more time with Dear Husband . ”

[Stop spouting nonsense and look in front of you, bat . ]

“Eek, this birdbrain…!”

Licorice glared at Lotte and gritted her teeth . However, Lotte was right . Even though we could travel quickly on Lotte’s back, it wasn’t easy to find Event Dungeons in this huge continent . Licorice, who had the result of the succubi’s exploration in her head, needed to focus for us to finish exploring Antarctica quickly .

“Even Dear Husband… I feel like I’m just a map . ”

“Do your best for a little longer, Licorice . When we’re done, I’ll reward you . ”

“If that’s what Dear Husband says…”

Licorice complained a little and closed her eyes to focus on the database in her head . Then, she ordered Lotte to turn to the right and fly straight .

When we arrived at a certain point, she faced a giant glacier and tilted her head . Then, she closed her eyes again before opening them back up .

“Dear Husband . ”

“Hm?”

What she said next surprised me greatly .

“The dungeon that was here, I think it was cleared already . ”
