Just as those thousands of sharp claws and fangs were about to touch the hem of his clothes—

"Shh!"

A slender yet deadly figure suddenly emerged from his shadow without warning.

She gripped two dark blades that gleamed with a chilling light, her figure like an elegant yet cruel black swan, dancing gracefully among the monsters.

The blade flashed, and with each swing, it created a deadly arc!

It was his first shadow soldier—Eun-vi.

She was like the most precise killing machine, cutting through Rhodes like butter.

In the blink of an eye, the entire passage was cleared, leaving only a pile of monster corpses that had not yet dissipated, and a pungent, nauseating stench of blood.

Rod calmly gazed at the mess on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a detached tone devoid of any emotion.

"stand up."

For an instant.

"Roar--!!!"

It was as if a roar from the deepest part of hell exploded in this deathly silent cave.

As you traverse the long corridor, the size of the caves along the way gradually expands, transforming from narrow passages that could only accommodate a few people into open structures that can hold groups of dozens of people.

The number of forks in the road is decreasing, and the roads are becoming increasingly straight and monotonous, as if... you are walking step by step into the body of a giant snake with its jaws wide open.

The ceiling grew higher and higher, until the phosphorescence that flickered on the rock walls like will-o'-the-wisps appeared to be nothing more than tiny specks of light, the size of grains of rice.

Finally, Rhodes reached the 17th floor, the deepest, enormous room.

The structure here resembles a rectangular prism. Both the walls and the ceiling are made of rugged, jagged rocks.

However, the wall on its left side was completely different.

It was so smooth that it looked as if it had been polished like a mirror, without a single gap, and its regularity was strangely beautiful.

The Great Wall of Sighs.

This is the final barrier of the seventeenth floor, named by the adventurers who once reached this great room and returned alive.

A massive wall that only breeds specific monsters, belonging exclusively to the Lone King of the Labyrinth.

"Owner."

Envi's figure appeared silently, standing protectively in front of Rhodes. Her voice was low and full of vigilance.

"It's so quiet."

This is the territory of the Lone King of the Labyrinth, but that doesn't mean ordinary monsters won't be born here.

On the contrary, monsters of level 2 or higher appear in large numbers on this floor, far exceeding the density on the upper floors.

However, from the moment they stepped onto this floor until they reached this final room, not a single low-level monster appeared on their path.

"They're probably... gathering their strength."

Rhodes chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in his smile.

"The so-called malice of the dungeon? Heh... Since you enjoy playing this game so much, I'll add some more exciting stuff for you."

As he spoke, he took out a small, crystal-clear bottle from his pocket.

Inside the bottle, a drop of golden liquid emanates a terrifying divine power.

This was a small vial of genuine divine blood that he had obtained from the goddess Astraea.

The moment the cork is pulled off is exhilarating.

hum-

A golden divine power, visible to the naked eye, spread out like ripples.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and the entire space exuded an undisguised, terrifying malice that seemed to want to crush everything.

The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, and the entire seventeenth floor groaned and trembled under the strain!

Chapter 97 My Shadow Soldiers Are Endless! (Please subscribe and vote!)

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The entire space exuded an undisguised, terrifying malice that seemed intent on crushing everything.

The ground beneath our feet began to shake violently, and the entire seventeenth floor began to tremble under the strain!

Click click click——

A massive crack, like a black lightning bolt, suddenly ripped open the smooth, mirror-like Wailing Wall from top to bottom, leaving a shocking scar.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, countless huge rocks scattered like cannonballs, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

A colossal object crashed to the ground with a violent tremor!

It resembles a human in size, but it is nine meters tall.

His entire body was a jet-black color, like the deepest ink, filled with an aura of ominousness and destruction!

His scarlet eyes, filled with savagery and madness, stared intently at Rhodes.

next second.

"Roar--!!!"

A deafening roar, powerful enough to lift a roof, erupted from the depths of its throat.

Black Goliath strode forward with heavy steps, like a runaway siege engine, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression, towards Rhodes, whose lips still held a faint smile.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Each time its enormous foot stomped down, the hard rock floor was instantly crushed, and the entire hall trembled violently with each heavy step.

"Roar ah ah ah!"

Black Goliath roared, swinging its massive fist, thicker than a stone, with a shrill sound that tore through the air, as it slammed into Rhodes's seemingly tiny body!

A cold glint flashed in Eun-wi's loyal eyes, and she moved slightly, about to step forward to meet the attack.

But behind him came Rhodes's calm, unwavering voice.

"Go back."

next moment.

Boom——! ! !

Black Goliath's massive fist, powerful enough to blast a hole in the city wall, struck Rhodes squarely!

A terrifying shockwave erupted instantly in a ring shape centered on the point of contact!

With a "whoosh," the piercing sound waves almost tore apart people's eardrums.

The ground sank down suddenly, like a lake surface where a giant rock had been thrown in.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions, extending all the way to the walls of the hall!

On the wall, countless rocks were shaken and fell down by this force, and even several huge cracks appeared.

"Gah?"

However, as the smoke and dust, powerful enough to engulf everything, slowly dissipated...

For the first time, a blank expression appeared in the scarlet eyes of the Black Goliath.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Rhodes remained standing quietly in place, showing no signs of injury, not even a single wrinkle on the hem of his clothes.

He simply raised one hand casually, and with his incredibly slender palm, which was completely disproportionate to his massive fist, he effortlessly and steadily blocked the terrifying blow that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

"...I thought it could develop into a monster of at least level 7."

Rhodes slowly raised his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"In the end, you only barely reached level 6... You've disappointed me a bit."

"Roar--!!!!"

As if sensing this extreme mockery, the black Goliath raised its head to the sky and let out a deafening roar!

“Roar, roar, roar—!!!”

This is the call from the floor owner!

This high-pitched roar resounded throughout every corner of the seventeenth floor, summoning an endless army of monsters!

"Oh oh oh oh!"

The rock walls on all sides were smashed open with a roar!

Numerous and all sorts of monsters poured out of the holes like a flood bursting its banks.

Crazy Beetle, Berg Bear, Sniper Dragonfly, Minotaur, Crystal Mantis...

An endless stream of all kinds of mid-level monsters surged in from all directions, brandishing their sharp teeth, claws, and horns, and with a bloodthirsty frenzy, launched a massive attack on Rhodes in the center of the arena!

Rod spoke calmly.

"You made a mistake."

“In this game, you are the challenger.”

Click!

A crisp, teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out.

Rhodes's hand suddenly transformed into sharp claws, and with a burst of force from his five fingers, he crushed the massive fist of the Black Goliath, along with its bones and muscles, to pieces!

“Ouch——!!!”

Black Goliath let out an angry and painful wail!

Even the skin with its super-strong defenses is rendered useless, and its self-repair mechanism is too slow to function.

Just as all the monsters rushed in and all the attacks were about to land on him, at that very moment...

—The shadows were boiling.

Countless shadow armies, like a black tsunami, roared and howled as they surged out from the shadows beneath Rhodes' feet.

With absolute loyalty to their monarch, they instantly clashed with the monster legion summoned by Black Goliath!

The monster, enraged by divine power, lost its mind, but the absolutely loyal shadow soldiers were equally fearless in the face of death!

The monsters in the dungeon are dying every moment, while Rhodes' shadow soldiers are endless.

The shadow soldiers kept dying and rising again, while the dungeon monsters that had just died would be corrupted by darkness and rise again in the next second, becoming a member of the shadow army and wielding their swords against their former kin!

As a result, what was clearly a brawl initiated by Black Goliath ended up with the army behind Rhodes growing larger and larger just minutes later!

Black Goliath was momentarily stunned by the incredible scene before him.

In that moment of disorientation, Rhodes' figure had appeared above its head like a ghost.

He stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on the huge head of the black Goliath.

"You've pretty much figured out what it's like to have a divine body; it's time for you to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous head of the black Goliath exploded instantly, like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer.

Black blood and brain matter, mixed with shattered skull fragments, shot out in all directions.

Rhodes landed silently, spotless.

The massive, headless corpse of Black Goliath crashed to its knees with a thunderous roar, finally collapsing heavily before him, as if offering its final submission to the new king.

Behind him was an endless legion of shadow soldiers, all of whom had been transformed.

They knelt quietly on one knee, awaiting the monarch's next command.

With a casual gesture, Rhodes pocketed the rare material, "Goliath's Hard Hide," dropped by the Black Goliath after its death.

Then, he looked up at the huge corpse that was still emanating an ominous aura, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
