Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 318 Hidden Level

"President, is this alright?"

The female assistant anxiously watched the group of 01 leave.

"Tell them such important information..."

"It doesn't matter, they're just pawns anyway."

Tan Masamune walked to the floor-to-ceiling window again, as if he could see directly into the game instance being conquered on the other side.

Under normal circumstances, high-level knights would not attempt to conquer these low-level dungeons.

Now is undoubtedly an opportunity.

If these high-ranking knights could also become players, the trial time would be greatly shortened, and he could obtain administrator privileges as soon as possible.

Compared to that, what are mere rare characters?

When the final stage arrives, neither 01 nor any of the other knights on the leaderboard will be worth mentioning.

If the plan goes smoothly, he will at least become a level 7 knight, and it's not impossible for him to even enter the realm of gods.

In this era of great knights, his future will only go further.

Kamen Rider Chronicles is just the beginning.

"Captain, is what that guy said believable?"

Inside the elevator of the Alliance building, the vice-captain looked worried.

After all, they are an outside team, and their situation here is really bad. Especially after the previous dungeon incidents, their strength has basically stagnated. If they had a few more level 5 knights, they wouldn't have been bullied by the "Dragon Knights" twice.

"Could there be some kind of trap?"

"In any case, the game instance is indeed an opportunity."

Captain 01 fell into deep thought.

"Although it's just a small monster dungeon, when combined, it's no less powerful than a time-space dungeon, and hidden rewards are not impossible."

"But……"

"Let's try and see. They won't send dragon riders to attack us."

Ignoring the suspicious vice-captain, Captain 01 stared straight at the elevator floor.

"Alright, now is not the time to completely turn against Conglomerate X. The game dungeon must go through Skynet, and we probably can't get through Knight Academy. Only Conglomerate X can help us."

……

"Huh? Isn't it over yet?"

Forest Game Dungeon.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, all the trainees successfully arrived at their destination. However, instead of a timely completion notification, a new rotating light gate appeared at the end of the road.

For a group of newcomers who had just become level 2 knights, this dungeon battle was not easy. Defeating wave after wave of Collapse Sources to reach the end was already exhausting.

Natsukawa turned to look at Hojo Emu: "Is the next battle a boss fight?"

"It seems a little different."

Hosho Emu was both puzzled and excited, his eyes filled with a desire to explore.

"The boss used to appear directly... it seems we've unlocked a hidden level!"

"Hidden levels?"

"So that means the boss will be harder to defeat, right? Why am I so unlucky?"

The crowd groaned in pain.

Unlike the excitement before entering the dungeon, the current situation makes it difficult to even defeat a regular boss, let alone an upgraded one.

"What do we do now?"

"It's okay, as long as we defeat the boss, right? I can handle it by myself."

Hojo Emu smiled, turning the game cartridge as if he had become a different person, his eyes shining brightly as he watched the slowly rotating portal.

"Everyone, wait here for my news."

"Hey, Emu!"

Several students' voices trembled.

"I'm not kidding, this isn't a game, you really can die..."

"It's all the same to me," Emu Hojo activated the cartridge and stepped through the portal. "Whether it's a game or reality, I'll show you how I beat it!"

"Emiya!"

"Damn it, this guy's gaming addiction is acting up again!"

The students rushed to the gate of light, but were stopped by Xia Chuan.

"Mentor Shenyong?"

"This place should be relatively safe. You can wait for me here."

Xia Chuan extended his finger and stepped into the portal as well.

This time it's not a time-space dungeon, but it seems even more troublesome than a time-space dungeon.

A series of interconnected dungeons presented in the form of levels.

He hasn't tried it yet.

Previously, the most you could play was a double dungeon, or a single dungeon that was constantly looped like in Dragon Rider World.

"Bang--!"

Hidden within the instance.

Some people started their strategy even earlier than Emu Hojo.

When Xia Chuan stepped into the game scene, he saw a player attacking the dungeon boss under the cover of the 01 team.

Because they lack game privileges, the knights who are not players can only interfere with the boss; all their attacks are ineffective.

"No way, Captain, this guy is also protected by the rules!"

"Get out of here!"

Captain 01 punched away an increasing number of ordinary Collapse Source monsters around him, then glared angrily at the cloaked boss who had jumped onto the high platform.

Wearing a black top hat, the figure is a blue doll-like figure, resembling a magician.

His level isn't particularly high, but unfortunately, he can only fight using the player character.

Not only did they start at League Level 3, their combat strength wasn't particularly outstanding either.

This lousy game even has its own level system, requiring players to start from scratch. In the end, it even introduces a boss far beyond the player's level, and the constant spawning of mobs is a real hassle.

"So that's it, these guys triggered the hidden quest!"

The player, transformed into Hojo Emu, stood at the edge of the scene map. The members of Team 01, who had watched the battle, locked onto the cloaked boss jumping around in the center, and related information appeared before their eyes.

Count Solty, a level boss in Extraordinary Action X, is at game level 3-10.

The boss's level will increase over time.

"That's a bit outrageous," Hojo Emu laughed. "No ordinary person could possibly beat it, right?"

"Emiya!"

Several more trainees followed and quickly gathered around Hojo Emu upon seeing him.

"Strange, where's Kaminari-sensei? Emu, have you seen him?"

"No," Hojo Emu said in surprise, "Why are you guys here too?"

"How could we possibly sit still?"

"Mentor Kaminari isn't a player either, so we thought we'd come and help."

The lead student also saw the dungeon information, and his heart pounded wildly.

"Is this the hidden level? This is outrageous! It doesn't feel like a beginner's dungeon at all!"

"Who are those people?"

"It seems to be another challenging team."

Hojo Emu rubbed his wrist and charged towards the cloaked boss first.

"I need to get started too, otherwise it'll just get more and more troublesome!"

Mirror space of the copy.

Xia Chuan had transformed into a dragon rider and was quietly observing, surrounded by the peerless dragon.

When I saw several students following behind, I didn't know what to say.

He disobeyed his orders, but was very loyal and willing to rush over to help even without knowing the specifics of the situation.

Shaking his head, Xia Chuan turned his gaze back to the members of Team 01.

How did these guys end up here?

A level 5 knight participating in a newbie dungeon is utterly shameless.

Did they also learn of the existence of the legendary knight?

"What are those guys from the Knight Academy doing here?" Captain 01, who had finally broken through the grunts, also noticed Emu Hojo and the others. He was astonished to see the students who had transformed back into the game.

Once the hidden levels are unlocked, they won't be the only ones enjoying them?

"Damn it! Stop them! The hidden reward must be mine!"
