Chapter 74

'The upper floors are altogether on a different level, aren't they?'

Jin-Woo began recalling the first – and so far, the only – boss-level monster he had encountered since he set foot inside the Demon's Castle, Vulcan.

That guy's title was 'the Sovereign of the Lower Floors'.

As soon as he went past the fiftieth floor that demon resided in, the difficulty curve suddenly spiked up.

Before this, he'd climb up over ten floors in a day. As much as 20, even. But his clearing speed had decreased so much so that he found it hard to even clear 7 or 8 floors in a day now.

He was currently standing on the 74th floor.

The High-Ranked Demons now appeared as regular mobs now, and along with the infrequently-spotted Superior Demons, these two types of monsters displayed sizes and abilities that were worlds apart from those found on the lower floors.

Stab!

A High-Ranked Demon the size of a two-story building slowly collapsed on the ground with a dagger stuck to its chest.

SLAM!
