Spreading his mana sense as far as he could, Ivan cast a speed buff on himself, and headed toward the staircase leading to the lower floor.
Whoosh!
Ariel followed him down. Behind them, Rowan tried calming down the forces.
On the 7th floor, Ash silently weaved between the shadows, finding every mage who had fallen through the tunnels.
Jake could sense anything happening within the dungeon. So he was making it easier for the Dark Knight by changing the routes of the tunnels, leading Ash straight to the place where the mages were.
Of course, he had told Ash to leave out the female mages. He could kill them after fucking. Jake simply wanted to maximize his profits. If he liked their pussies, he might keep them alive.
''You go first and find them!'' The Court Mage told Ariel.
The adventurer nodded. She stared ahead for a few seconds and vanished, only to appear at the place where she was staring at. The beastkin woman repeated this process, increasing her speed by 10 times.
Jake noticed it from below, she was approaching too fast. He frowned and focused on her movement pattern. Realizing that she would memorize the scene first before teleporting, Jake quickly snapped his fingers.
All torches on the floors 1-9 went out instantly. However, the fox woman still kept teleporting. Darkness didn't hinder her.
''I guess not…'' Jake muttered. Then a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
It was all too easy to stop her, anyway. Jake began changing the pathways of multiple tunnels, making it a loop. Ariel kept teleporting in the same small location of the 4th floor, isolated from her other teammates.
However, it wouldn't take long for her to realize what was going on. Jake had to be quick.
''I can sense them, they're coming…'' Minerva looked above and smiled. Her cherry red lips made her look somewhat evil.
Jake pointed his finger above and a hole appeared in the ceiling. It was large enough to fit three school buses.
''Go!'' He told the wyvern. ''Keep the human mage busy.''
Woo… WoOoo…
Droge flapped its wings, creating loud gusts of wind and dust. It shook the ground by kicking and flew into the hole. As it appeared on the 9th floor, Jake created another hole. This was far to the left.
Creating a hole right above the wyvern would kill the monsters living on the 8th floor. Even so, Jake still destroyed the habitat of lower ranked monsters and even killed quite a few of them to make way for the wyvern.
The Court Mage had just descended on the fifth floor when the ground suddenly shook, opening a vast hole.
A feral roar resounded from its depths, and a silver-scaled wyvern appeared. With its terrifying aura, Ivan immediately recognized that it was a 5th Circle creature.
''Hah!''
He waved his staff and cast Flame Shield at once, seeing cold mist coming out of the wyvern's mouth. His intuition was right on mark because the creature shot Frost Breath the next moment, enveloping almost half of the floor in cold ice.
Jake had now isolated all three 4th Circle beings. Together, they had the power of a recently advanced 5th Circle being. However, when singled out like this, they were just a bit more powerful than other 4th Circle beings.
Jake was expecting that he would have to fight them himself, but he became a sort of controller instead.
''Minerva, go and engage with the beastkin assassin. She's already aware of what's happening,'' he suddenly said, opening his eyes.
Pointing his finger left, a hole appeared in the wall. Inside was a crudely made stone staircase.
''Can't I just wait for her to come here…?'' Minerva rested her hand on her hip and leaned on her skull staff.
''I've already led her to the 9th floor. She should be fighting with Ash now,'' Jake took a long breath as he replied.
Changing the terrain of the dungeon took a lot of mana. His mental attributes were almost depleted now. He would have to rest.
…
The team which the Grand Knight was leading appeared on the 6th floor. They still hadn't found the others. Rowan was frustrated. Someone was surely controlling parts of this dungeon, separating them!
''Look ahead!'' At this moment, someone shouted.
''Those are…''
Everyone saw monsters waiting in formation right ahead. There were skilled Ogres, Orcs and Gnolls. 3rd Circle Minotaurs, Lizardmen, Imps and Dark Spirits were also there. It was like a mini army.
Seeing such a large pack of monsters, the humans were deterred. However, the presence of Lord Bradley gave them courage. With a Grand Knight here, these monsters were nothing.
''Haaa!''
''Follow Sir Marquis!''
A battle broke out quickly.
Clang!
Ting!
All sorts of weapons clashed against each other. Blood was spilled. The heads of the monsters as well as humans rolled on the floor. As casualties began appearing, the knights requested the help of the clerics.
It was at this moment. The betrayal happened.
''Unholy Blessing!''
''Hex of Pain!''
''Open Wounds!''
''Bleed Curse!''
The very priests and priestesses who were supposed to support them now cast evil spells, helping the monsters instead!
Jake was laughing out loud on the 10th floor, looking at the despair on the knights' faces.
''Your Highness, stay with me!''
Rowan shielded the prince, cutting through the horde of monsters. His every slash and tackle killed tens of creatures. The Grand Knight was the monster here. Unfortunately, he was limited by his humane emotions.
When he was about to kill the Dark Priests, Rowan hesitated. That led to him sustaining heavy injuries.
''Ack!''
Immediately, all monsters grouped on him. He was like a wounded tiger.
[One Sword Kill]!
Bradley roared and swiped his heavy sword vertically. It created a huge shock wave which killed almost thirty monsters at once.
However, doing that took a lot of his stamina. If he hadn't focused on avoiding the remaining knights, that attack could've had a much better result. But now, more monsters poured out from the lower floors and joined in the battle.
''Lovia!'' The Grand Knight cried. ''Take the prince out of this dungeon, we are outnumbered!''
At the same time, he crushed an enchanted crystal, informing the Court Mage about his location.
Lovia was a 3rd Circle Thief and an elite Trap Master. If there was anyone better who knew how to escape from this dungeon, it was this thief.
''Your Highness, this way!''
The masked woman immediately pulled the prince, who was overwhelmed by the brutality of this battle. He had dueled with many great men, but he hadn't fought in a way where every attack is meant to take lives.
Splennar quickly let himself be pulled by Lovia. They went through a dark tunnel nearby which, for some reason, had conveniently appeared there. Jake had lots of uses for this prince.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Spreading his mana sense as far as he could, Ivan cast a speed buff on himself, and headed toward the staircase leading to the lower floor.
Whoosh!
