Plundering in the Apocalypse

[Congratulations! You have entered the final floor.]

"Finally," Shin smiled in delight as he heard the notification.

They found themselves surrounded by fog. To Shin's surprise, his magic eyes were ineffective here.

They tried moving to the side but it didn't work. Like they were being stopped by some unknown force. They could only give up and continue walking forward cautiously.

'I just hope we can save Elena and get the monster core.' Shin had a grim expression on his face. On the last floor, there was no monster core in that Minotaur. This made him disheartened. But he didn't give up hope.

He believed this floor had what he wanted. Soon after another notification was heard.

[Due to the legacy trial the difficulty of this floor is increased.]

"What?" Shin was a little surprised but then he remembered Zephyair's words.

'Right, he must have increased the difficulty.' But Shin was still surprised. As far as he knows Zephyair should have been related to the legacy of the Khalsa mountains. So him messing with the rules of a Labyrinth was unexpected.

'Just what kind of existence is Zephyair?' Shin was kinda curious. Although he knew Zephyair had the bloodline of an Ancient serpent. But what kind of existence he was, there was no answer for that.

'If he can manipulate the Labyrinth then his powers must be beyond my imagination.' Shin stopped thinking about those stuff as the fog started to clear.

They found themselves in a big space. It should have been dark because they were not in the open. But to their surprise, everything was visible due to the moss everywhere.

These moss had special properties of light element. Due to that, they can make the place bright enough.

This was a very big cave-like structure. But the space was enough to keep many airplanes inside.

Everything was dark but still visible due to moss and with Shin and Alice's good visibility. As their vision was clear they started looking around to search for any monsters.

Shin used his magic eyes but was unable to locate any monsters.

"I can't find anything," Alice muttered in annoyance.

"Same here." Shin sighed.

Just what kind of trial was this? Were they supposed to fight a monster or not? As they continued looking around they didn't notice bit two purple eyes flashed open and started shining. At the deeper end of the cave, there was a ferocious existence keeping his eye on them.

[To clear the trial defeat the Boss monster.]

As this notification sounded Shin's eyes turned serious. This could mean one thing. If they want them to defeat the Boss monster. Does that mean there are no other monsters? This could get a little troublesome.

All this while both of them were taking advantage of having many weak enemies. So they were able to have it easy. But if there's only one opponent on the final floor that means it could be a tough fight, and now that the trial had made it even more difficult this could turn ugly.

They didn't have time to think anymore as they heard an ear-piercing roar.

*ROAARRRR*

The roar stunned them as they felt their bodies stop listening to their orders.

"What is going on?" Shin felt a chill down his spine as he felt something was very wrong. From the deeper end of the cave, a large figure could be seen flying in their direction. A body, that is full of gray scales with a deadly dark aura covering it. Purple eyes showed the ferociousness inside them. Thorns at the top of this majestic creature. The craziness showed their harmful nature and their lack of intelligence in them.

Shin immediately used his magic eyes to get the information in it.

[Gray Wyvern (Level 300)]

[Boss Monster]

Shin's mind turned blank as his jaw dropped. He felt he was just seeing things. But he was wrong. The monster was indeed Level 300.

"What the hell? On the last floor, the strongest was level 120. So why is there so much discrepancy?" Shin wanted to complain. But to whom.

'It must be Zephyair's fault.'

Indeed it was. The monster should have only been level 150 but due to Zephyair's intervention, it's level 300 now.

The Wyvern appeared in front of them. But it didn't even consider Shin and Alice as his opponents. They were just food to him. They were too weak to be considered a threat.

Shin beloved it might be a chance to deal some damage to the monster. He gathered all his will and broke through the stunned state.

"Extreme speed, Gravity control, Shadow Veil, Razor Slash, Poison master." Shin activated all these abilities just to land a hit on that monster.

'If I can poison him somehow we can get a chance.' Shin made the poison very potent.

Shin's figure soon approached the Wyvern in front of him. He managed to hit the Wyvern scale with the strongest force he could pull off.

'This is it.'

But as his sword connect to the Wyvern scale it did leave a small cur but it was not deep enough for poison to be effective.

'I should increase my stats. This attack was a failure.' Shin thought bitterly. If only he did that earlier. The monster would have been poisoned. But he never would have thought that the Boss monster would be this powerful.

Before he could move he felt something very ominous. He saw that Wyvern was making his move. Purple energy gathered around his mouth and a blast of purple flames shot off of his mouth aiming at Shin.

'Shit, this would be very painful.' There was not enough time for Shin to dodge or take on the attack.

'I hope my blessing works.' Shin gritted his teeth waiting for the pain to engulf him. To his surprise, it didn't come. He saw three Soul Servants taking the powerful attack in front of him. Although they disintegrated in a moment. It was enough time for Shin to escape.

Shin glanced to the side and saw Alice was ready to go on.

"You okay?" Alice asked with concern.

"Yes, I'm. Thanks. Also, get me a few seconds. I can't hold back anymore. In this fight, I'm gonna give my all." Shin said with a serious and confident look.
