Twelfth Floor Massacre.

What… What's going on!?

Luck increased, together with the forever increasing luck because of his Luck Development Ability and from a Level 1 state of the skill, this also means that after it reaches max level, it can very likely increases a great amount of Luck.

The skill made Alex narrow his eyes… This is absolutely for sure an OP skill. All damage forcibly decreased by 30%, can never be one-shotted when HP is above 70%. If added to the effects of the Dragon Heart which gives Alex a great amount of defense and ultra speed regeneration…making all kinds of outrageous defense effects!

Even scarier is this is still just the level 1 state of this skill! What kind of state it will be in it's max level would be practically unimaginable! Alex opened his eyes staring at this petite little creature even though it had grown a little.

Satisfied with the skill effects of Krausel, Alex excitedly crossed both tenth and eleventh floor. With his capabilities who maxed out his stats before ranking up and with his skills, Alex didn't share the same struggle the normal level 2 adventurers experienced.

Stepping foot at the 12th floor, the final floor of the upper floors, Alex was immediately greated by a group of orcs that is in a larger amount than the ones he encountered in the 10th and 11th floor.

"Well, for preparations on the middle floors, I think I should test out my endurance."

Alex muttered to himself. As he crossed the eleventh floor earlier, he noticed that the blood of the Dragon which improves his health regeneration and strengthening his physical and magic defense is now taking more visible after ranking up to level 2.

The orcs ran towards him. Then their fists descended towards Alex's face. He defended by crossing his arms in front of him.

Kaaang!

"Ugh!"

His eyes narrowed. The orc was so powerful that his arm became numb.

'Strong!'

Now Alex acknowledged it. The orcs were strong! It was natural. Alex know it, but the orcs especially on the 12th floor can overwhelm level 2 adventurers in a contest of strength. Their agility might be lacking, but their attack power and stamina was far superior to their level.

Originally, adventurers wouldn't be an opponent for the orcs in terms of brute force. It should be normal for him to die in one blow after taking their attack head on.

However, not to the point that it could overwhelm him. He was able to face the orc head on.

"Come, orc!"

Bbaek!

Alex kicked the orc in the stomach. It launched with the speed of an arrow off his foot and straight to the dirt. After bouncing and tumbling a few times, the orc wasn't able to move immediately. Leaping off to the direction of the orc, he then a swung his Splitting Edge at the orc in front of him.

[The option effect 'Flames Explosion' has activated from the Splitting Edge.]

As he counterattacked, Alex felt his strength was boiling inside him. Then he stood firmly in front of the orc. Unlike when he was still a level 1, Alex could now clearly feel the increase in his strength.

With the benefits of maxing his strength stats and Dragon Heart, Alex broke through the gap while the orc was in pain and stabbed the orc's neck with Assassin's Decree. This was the moment when his experience of hunting monsters as an adventurer showed.

[Critical!]

[A bleeding effect is applied because you aimed precisely at the target. The target will receive continuous damage.]

Ignoring the death of the orc, Alex immediately redirected his attention to the emerging imps. As he encountered them already at the 11th floor, Alex knew they were a small demon monster that attacks in a group and uses clever tactics.

Alex simply smiled and didn't mind them as he faced the orcs once again. The imps screeched at the top of their lungs as if being insulted for being ignored by Alex and madly rushed their way.

"Fools."

Alex muttered at the imps that disregarded its surroundings. Suddenly, a streak of lightning moving so fast, cutting the imps with its claws that was surrounded by raging lighting. None of them were able to react to the speed of Krausel who was in his Celestial Lightning Cat's Form.

Alex smiled seeing the imps disappeared in a matter of seconds.

"Kuweeeeek!"

While Krausel rampaged around, Alex proceeded to another monster, making the orc shook with pain as blood emerged from its thick neck. Due to the heat from the flowing blood, steam occurred and covered its eyes. But even in the midst of this, the orc continued swinging its arm.

The orcs' attack power was very high. Alex suffered enormous damage every time he blocked them with his hands even with the defense from his set items. Nevertheless, Alex kept up his spirit and fought back. He counterattacked every time he was hit. It was a dogfight between Alex and the orcs to see who would die first.

Who would die first? It was ridiculous to even think about it. Red blood dripped as the fight between Alex and the orcs continued. However there was no sign of any injury that could be seen on the adventurer that was overwhelming the orcs.

Due to the heat every time Alex triggered the Flame Explosion, a red fog spread around the area. The battle screams of the orcs changed drastically. The faces of the orcs gradually distorted seeing how a human was stronger than them.

The orcs clearly saw how fiercely the human fought with their colleague. The human must be severely injured. However, they weren't able to find one wound on the human's body.

Krrr!

Some orcs were still alive and started rushing to Alex with all their strength.

Nyang!

Krausel who had dealt with the imps also rushed to the orcs to protect his owner. He jumped and bit off the orc, but it didn't stop the orcs from rushing towards Alex.

Alex didn't even try to run away from it. Taking a stance while holding his sword, Alex muttered.

"Well, its time to try this out for the first time."

Gazing at the charging beasts, Alex took a deep breath.

"Stellar Pilgrim, First Form."

In a blink of an eye, the orcs vanished with a single sweep of the Splitting Edge that was surrounded by fiery flames.

"Ruptured Evening Cleave."

[First Form- Ruptured Evening Cleave]

[* Swings in front and slashes swiftly in a singular horizontal motion in a crescent shape, creating numerous chaotic sword energies dealing 260.5% attack damage to the enemy units.]

Alex determined that the orcs were strong, but they weren't bad opponents. Thanks to them, he had now confirmed that he had grown stronger than his previous self. Unlike before when he was being overwhelmed by the war shadows, now he could dominate a monster that was many times more stronger than the war shadows.

However, despite dealing with the orcs, the dungeon doesn't have the intentions of letting him to rest. With his increased perception, Alex sensed something above. Turning into its direction, a dark bat monster that has sharp fangs could be seen. It has the ability to create sound waves that disrupt concentration and was called Bad Bat.

Hundreds of Bad Bats were closing their distance to him. Alex accurately attacked its face in a situation normal adventurers would feel fear and nervousness.

"Phoenix Sage Fire."

Bang!

The volley of flames hit the bats and made an explosive sound. The bats fell to the ground and painfully screeched and screamed. However, it was still alive. Flying again, it did not stop them and attacked towards Alex.

Alex was not surprised.

'I expected this.'

He could perfectly calculate the damage better than anyone. His body was as light as a feather and weave his way like a lightning bolt through the sky.

"Rwooooh"

New batches of monsters made their appearance. It's about as tall as Alex. It stands on two short, stubby legs but its two long arm ends in a deadly looking set of claws. It's back and arms are completely covered by shells, almost like wearing a suit of armor.

The shell on its head comes to the point in front of its eyes, like it's wearing its battle helmet. Hard Armored... An armadillo monster that has a hard shell but weak inside. It has the highest defense in the Upper Floors, which makes it generally impossible for a Level 1 adventurer to single-handedly defeat it in hand-to-hand combat.

Along with Silverback, it is the highlight among monsters on 11th and 12th Floors. It is over 1.5 meters tall when standing on two legs

Out of all the monsters in the 11th and 12th floors, their defense is second to none. In other words, when it comes to taking a hit, they can withstand more damage than anything else in the upper floors.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that level 1 adventures need basic abilities ranging from B to S, in order to survive in the 11th and 12th floors because of Hard Armoreds.

"I'm still not on the middle levels but, I'm already surrounded."

Alex mumbles as he also saw many monsters aside from the Hard Armoreds. Monsters smaller than orcs but their muscular bodied were covered in thick white fur. Looking at the incoming large monkey monster that is covered in white fur with silver fur down the middle, Alex muttered.

"I've finally encountered a silverback again."

The image of him being beaten up the overwhelming difference of strength at that was still clearly engraved his mind. While Alex formed a smile—

"___oooOOOOOOOO!"

A ferocious roar stampedes its way, making Alex felt his ears scream in pain. Amber colored scales emerged from the fogs.

"Infant Dragon?"

A small dragon with a height of around 150 centimeters and more than four meters long. It is a rare monster and considered the boss of the Upper Floors where a Monster Rex doesn't appear. It is estimated to be Level 2.

Infant Dragons have annihilated entire parties of level 1 and level 2 adventurers. Looking at the great numbers of Hard Armored, Silverbacks, Orcs, Imps, and Infant Dragon in front of him, Alex now understands why Ryuu had warned them during the hally night that its a must to have a battle party.
