The battle was in full swing, and the cries of the fallen soldiers and the roaring of the Hive Queen created a symphony of chaos that filled the air.
One of the two masterminds behind it all, Kouske, was elated as he watched his plan unfold.
With glee, he sauntered around the golden cage containing the monstrous creature, shouting, "Level 300... Level 250... Level 225... Level 200... Level 175... Level 150... Keep going, don't stop!"
He knew that his decision to invest in the cursed skill books had paid off in spades.
Despite the hundreds of lives that had been sacrificed to achieve his goal, he felt no remorse. To him, the end justified the means.
Watching such a powerful creature squirm in front of him like an ant made him feel euphoric.
The chaos around him did not faze him in the slightest. The pandemonium did not unnerve him.
Instead, he felt a rush of excitement at what was to come.
