[100] Gacha! Gacha! Gacha!

On a barren land, thick fog permeated the air.

Suddenly, a massive skeletal giant appeared.

*ROOOOOOAR!*

Udaeus, looking at this unfamiliar place, let out an angry roar. It didn't know where this place was, and, more importantly, it severed its connection with the dungeon.

Boom~

In its anger, Udaeus began to wreak havoc, smashing the ground into uneven craters.

However, it didn't realize that, silently, the surrounding fog had surged up, enclosing it.

*ROOOOOOAR!*

Sensing that something was wrong, Udaues struggled, but it was too late.

Even the level 6 floor boss was powerless at this moment.

Its pitch-black bones visibly whitened at an alarming rate. The colossal body suddenly collapsed, and the magic stone inside was eroded bit by bit.

In just a few minutes, Udaeus, like countless monsters thrown into this place by August before, found no resting place.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission 'Fame Spread: Kill the thirty-seventh floor boss, Udaeus. Completion Reward: Advanced draw twice!']

Although August was devoured by the inner world, the inner world itself belonged to August.

So, it could be considered that Udaeus died at August's hands.

After dealing with Udaeus, August prepared to return.

But before leaving, he passed through the passage between the 37th and 38th floors, arriving at the next level.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission 'Rising Reputation: Reach the 38th floor of the dungeon, complete mid-term exploration. Completion Reward: Advanced draw twice!']

[Ding! All second-stage missions completed. Reward: Super draw once!]

With the defeat of Udaues, along with reaching the 38th floor, all the second-stage missions were completed, and the Super draw was in hand.

August smiled, four Adavanded draws and one Super draw. The only slight disappointment for August was that after completing all the second-stage missions, the Super draw remained only one time, without doubling like the other tasks.

"August, why did we come to this level?"

"Nothing, just to take a look. Let's go back."

"Huh?"

Tsubaki was speechless. What do you mean by coming here just to take a look?

She had no idea that August had a system mission that required reaching the 38th floor to complete.

Meanwhile, August was in a very good mood.

Five Gacha draws, four Advanced draws, and one Super draw. Soon, the plot would begin, and the level 5 monster would appear.

Now, with these five gacha draws, August's strength would definitely take another leap.

Excited heart, trembling hands, August opened the gacha draw interface, starting this round of gacha draws.

Let's start with four advanced draws...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining item: 82 Lafite *1000!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining skill: Full Counter (Magic)!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining item: Tiramisu 1000!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining blessing: Water Seedling!]

[Full Counter: Reflect all offensive magical attacks towards oneself with several times the force!]

[Water Seedling: A gift from the water god, a continuous source of water!]

August's face darkened. Four advanced draws, and he got 1000 bottles of Lafite and 1000 Tiramisu each. This was simply ridiculous.

Not only that, the other two items, Full Counter was a divine-level skill, but what about this Water Seedling?

Although Orario didn't have tap water, as a magical city, magic stones here functioned like electricity. In Orario, August had never heard of anyone suffering from a water shortage.

Having received all this, August rubbed his temples.

Four advanced draws, only one was a decent item, Full Counter.

Is his luck really this dark today?

Looking at the last super draw, his final hope.

"O`Goddess of Fortune, O`Gacha Personafication, O` RNGesus, please, deliver something good!"

The final gacha draw began, and the enormous roulette started spinning. In the increasingly slow seconds, August felt time slowing down as well.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining rare item: Evil Pieces (a set of)!]

[Evil Pieces: Created by Maou Ajuka Beelzebub, Evil Pieces can transform other races into devils, and they serve as subordinates to the 'King.' Different pieces bring different power boosts.]

This time, August once again went into a sparta mode. Evil Pieces? What use did he have for this when he wasn't a devil but a demon?

However, this Evil Pieces wasn't entirely useless.

In the world of 'Highschool DxD' only high-ranking devils were qualified to possess Evil Pieces.

Especially the function of being a contract subordinate was something August liked. Apart from anything else, contracting a group of beautiful girls, both eye-catching and powerful, was pleasing.

But just as he thought about it, a system prompt sounded...

[Ding! Detected the host's strong will, triggering a special mission!]

[Special Mission: Bloody Moment, Kill 10,000 monsters. Completion reward: Perfect enhancement of Evil Pieces! (Transform into exclusive Demon Evil Pieces, and each piece is a mutation piece.)]

August's eyes instantly turned red. Perfect enhancement of Evil Pieces, transforming into exclusive Demon Evil Pieces, and each piece being a mutation piece.

Most importantly, each piece was a mutation piece.

In 'Highschool DxD' mutation pieces were rare.

The distribution of mutation pieces was irregular. A high-ranking devil having one mutation piece was equivalent to having a powerful subordinate!

However, this mission was difficult, kill 10,000 monsters!

Even if it was the most ordinary goblin, killing ten thousand of them would take an eternity.

But thinking about the mouth-watering Demon Evil Pieces, August was extremely eager.

Taking a deep breath, August decided that, after resting for a while, he would start this round of monster grinding.

This is where having a water candle comes in handy.

As long as he lit the water candle, it was equivalent to activating the enhanced version of the Monster Feast BUFF. Monsters would pour out as if they were free.

By then, he would directly go into the midst of the monster group and massacre them all, just to grind monsters!
