It's been a year since I entered this Hell's labyrinth. I am currently on the 15th floor.
From what I've heard, no one has yet managed to subdue the monster boss guarding the door to the 16th floor. No one knew what was going on inside because everyone who entered never came out again.
On this floor, there were more people than on the floor floor I had been through. In addition to the number of souls that are more, they also have great strength so that their soul core is bigger and brighter than Dandan's.
So far, I have collected at least 14 thousand small soul stones. Although I can use it to climb the floor or absorb it,
I prefer to keep the stone for guard and I will make it as a trump card on my sleeve. Besides the small stones, I also have about 6 thousand medium to large ones.
So, if it were to be totaled, I would at least have over 20 thousand soul stones in my storage.
I've never absorbed a single soul stone into my soul stone. My reason is very simple, because I want to be strong with my own strength.
Well, maybe in the end I will absorb that soul stone when the circumstances urge me.
The entire soul that was in this place, was indeed as that person had said. Everything was filled with gimmicks, even I was once almost entangled by their rotten wits.
Even though this place was filled with black spots like them, it did not mean that there were no specks of different colors, there were only a few people who did not use deception to trap someone for the sake of soul stones.
They were the ones who climbed the floor together in the same way as defeating every floor boss and using the floor boss's soul stones instead of human ones.
They were more like a guild that wanted to conquer this floor together, even though the road that passed was not easy.
However, they put forward teamwork more than the origin and other useless things.
That's why I joined them. Thanks to them, I was able to reach the 15th floor very easily.
Honestly speaking, from the 10th to 14th floor is not an easy trip. Although the floor boss was not very strong, what was troublesome about them was the crafty troops and strategies they played with.
They all tend to have something in common. They used their small army as bait while he ruled in the back while attacking.
It was difficult for me at that moment to approach the floor boss because the monsters he commanded were troublesome.
They were similar to goblins in that all they could tell was the color of their skin. That little monster is very agile, though,
They jumped everywhere and swarmed me simultaneously to the point of overwhelming me and being forced to retreat.
At a time when I was having trouble thinking about how to defeat the boss of the floor, it was there that I met them, the squad I spoke about earlier, the Region squad.
It seems like some of them are using teleportation items that allow you to switch places one way.
Although it was not the main force, it seemed that the Region squad was gathering the fighters who were trying to climb up the floor by fighting the floor Boss.
Their main force was on the 23rd floor and from what I know, the reason they were looking for a new member was to make a massive attack while facing the first key guard, Azazel.
Since they had the same goal as me, I agreed to their invitation to join and conquer the floor together and made it to the 15th floor.
Right now, we are preparing to conquer the 16th floor to head to where the main troops are on the 23rd floor.
I walked past the other Conquering members of the Region. Even though we were battle mates, I didn't like them very much, and vice versa.
As I walked past them, I daoat heard some things they were talking about.
"Hey, have you heard that that person is a one-armed soul slaughterer?"
Say one of them.
"Yes, from what I heard he conquered 7 floors by himself while hunting the soul stones of people."
"Why is someone like him welcome in this squad? What if he turns around to hunt us down? The higher-ups of the Region must have gone mad."
They kept talking while whispering whispers about me, they might think if I didn't hear it but, with all my senses enhanced, they did,
I can even hear their entire conversation from 400 meters away.
Since they needed to clear my way up the floor, I would let them only if they did not try to disturb me.
I sat in a chair close to the master of the owner of this food and drink shop. I ordered a drink that tasted similar to coffee.
This drink is not so popular among people maybe because it tastes a little bitter but it is a blessing for me to find it here.
'Hm, they're just hickheads who don't know how to enjoy a coffee!' I mocked them in my heart.
"Master, give me some milk."
The master nodded happily as there was finally someone who understood and knew how to enjoy a coffee. Although I don't know the quality of a leaf,
But I understand the difference in quality of a coffee bean. Usually, a good coffee bean is one that has no floating pulp when you brew it without filtering it.
They also have a slightly different aroma even the taste can be clearly distinguished.
"Please."
Master gave me a small bottle of milk. Then, as I was about to pour milk into my coffee, someone came up to me.
"Yo, you don't seem to have anyone to talk to, yeah, a guy who can't be a prick."
Said a girl laughing.
I scrunched my eyebrows in my eyes, but not for long. I'm gonna keep quiet without taking down this asshole woman and hope she leaves.
"Moou, come on don't be so cold, this Onesan just wants to have someone to talk to."
The girl changed her speech style to be like a woman who was seducing someone.
Damnit damnit! Only with this woman can I not ignore her.
"Take someone else, there. Stay away from me, Mira."
This girl is Mira, she is also a member of the Region squad or rather, she is one of the Region's higher ups who helped us break through the 16th floor.
She was indeed a beautiful girl with her yellow hair, she had a jovial nature, her large breasts stood out and regarding her ability in fighting, there was no doubt that she was strong.
For many people she is a very perfect girl, but the only drawback is that she always comes to tease me.
"Ho? Aren't you ashamed of this onean? No need to worry, this one's not biting even if you touch my chest, I'll allow it."
Mira said to bring her chest closer to me.
"With the six pack muscle building up in your stomach, I'm sure your chest will be just as hard as your muscles."
Rigel.
Then,
Pack!
He hit me in the head with his fists. This girl!
"What is it about you that just hit me?!"
Rigel shouted while rubbing his head.
"Your joke makes me a little confused"
Mira.
He used one hand to lean.
"I'm not being.. Hey!"
Suddenly my back felt goosebumps, my instincts screamed asking me not to say anything.
There, Mira smiled merrily yet horribly while saying.
"What did you want to say just now?"
I shook my head as a sign that I didn't say anything. That's why I don't want to be close to this girl.
"Mo, Mirah! I told you not to disturb the new kid and are you here to drink alcohol?!"
The sound of a girl running towards us resounded in the tavern.
He carried a wand that seemed to be like a magic wand with a round, dark blue crystal on it.
Her dark blue hair splashed as she ran over to us. Her eyes were as beautiful and as bright as diamonds, I kept staring at the girl as she approached us.
"R-rigel?!"
He said with a surprised tone.
I just nodded with the girl's response. The girl frantically tidied up her random hair and smiled at me.
"Good morning Rigel, I'm sorry for letting Mira go."
Speak softly.
"Yes, it's okay. It must be hard work for you to keep an eye on this creature, vice-chairman."
He was the vice-chairman of the entire Region squad, Vice-chairman of Anastasia.
