Scale? Of course, it is larger. The quest was to catch 100,000 monsters, so it made sense that the third floor had a space that was not comparable to the second floor. On the second floor, I had a map of it drawn in my head and could go around it with ease, but it was impossible to do that on the third floor.

It’s not just that. The number of rooms and passages also increased. At the end of such rooms were treasure chests.

But annoyingly, most of them are Mimics.

“Apart from knowing that they are Mimics, at first sight, you can also skewer them from top to bottom in one blow. You’re amazing, Captain.”

“It’s because you’re weak.”

“Sheesh.”

I was teasing him. Lee Chan-yu was strong. After recovering his health and strength, he fought without hesitation against intermediate monsters on the third floor using his outstanding energy and recovery power.

He wants to achieve evolution.

“As far as I know, no one has ever succeeded in evolution. However, if it is possible for a monster, it will be possible for a Fallen. I will surely be the first.”

“I am the first.”

“Damn!”

Our fighting styles matched quite well. He uses speed and resilience as an infighter who rushes without fear into the crowd, while I pick off a group of monsters one by one using Fairy Tale and Surprise, until there’s no more left.

He charges and grabs attention while I finish them off.

However, there were two problems.

First. My abilities, especially the Surprise skill, was far higher than that of the intermediate monsters on the third floor and Lee Chan-yu. After killing a monster with a Surprise Attack, I could immediately disappear again for another strike. Thus, Lee Chan-yu didn’t really need to draw the monsters’ attention for me. I could annihilate everything alone.

Second. On Earth, with the concept of guilds and parties, experience and gold are shared when a monster is killed as a group.

However, there was a skill necessary to form a party.

Leadership.

Since I cannot place Lee Chan-yu under my Leadership skill, the ‘colleague’ dynamic, we have does not work effectively. No matter how much someone contributed to killing a monster, the one who dealt the final blow gets all the experience and gold.

Temporarily, I suggested to Lee Chan-yu to place me under his Leadership, but he opposed it and said it was impossible. It was impossible for a person with an Advanced level of Leadership skill to be under someone with a Lower Leadership.

If he and I could be linked through Leadership, we both would have grown more, but it was simply impossible right now.

In the end, what we could do is get him to hunt alone within my range of Detection.

Lee Chan-yu had the ability to survive on the third floor, except when the number of monsters is too large, where his recovery could not sustain the damage he’s taking.

Therefore, I only support him during dangerous moments, and we hunt separately most of the time.

With that, we explored the spacious 3F. I thought that would be enough, and in the first few days, it certainly seemed so.

But it was not enough.

[Level Up!]

“Lee Chan-yu, you told me you could become strong with me.”

“I’m getting stronger, too. But you’re getting stronger too fast!”

I was getting impatient as Lee Chan-yu’s level struggled to keep up.

Of course, there was a difference in our experiences. He must have lived a desperate existence as I did, but when it comes to hunting in dungeons, I am ahead of him.

There wasn’t much difference between his level and mine when we first met, but when I reached Level 75, he was only around Level 65.

Of course, the annihilation of the Phoenix Hunters is a big factor in my level increase, but the gap shouldn’t have been this great.

I thought hard about it and decided there was one main difference in our hunting.

Sleep.

I have Predation and a high level of resistance to abnormalities. Since I opened my eyes as a goblin, I have never slept. I kept going around all the time to hunt monsters. It was natural that I would level up faster than Lee Chan-yu.

But think about it. Was it only Predation and Resistance that could wipe out fatigue instantly?

No. There was something else.

Reaching a level up.

I could not ask him not to sleep because he doesn’t have Predation, but wouldn’t reaching Level Up alleviate all fatigue and injuries he sustained?

When I explained it to him, he was stunned.

“Is that possible?”

“At least, you can expect all physical fatigue to be gone.”

“But… it must be hard not to sleep. It’s not that simple.”

“It is simple.”

Lee Chan-yu looked at me with a blank face; then his expression distorted as if he realized something.

It reminded me of L’s reaction the other day.

The only thing that differed was that it was a beautiful woman the other day, and now I am facing a werewolf.

“Does that mean that… Captain, you haven’t slept all this time?”

“Don’t pity me. Because from now on, you won’t be sleeping, too.”

“Is it really possible?”

“Sure.”

Of course, it was a simple matter for me because I had Predation. I could overcome physical fatigue simply by eating the monsters.

With Lee Chan-yu, even without Predation, he could probably level up once every three days. Three days were short enough to endure without sleeping, especially for an intermediate monster like a werewolf.

“The only reason you’re still sleeping is because your habits remain human. We are not human. Monsters don’t sleep for at least three or four days. So, you should be fine.”

“… I must be determined.”

We were not only fighting monsters, but we are also fighting time. The fear of not knowing when a strong human will enter the dungeon and the obsession to become stronger before that happened consumed us.

With that, Lee Chan-yu proved that he could withstand without sleeping. From then on, his level up rate also increased.

“My body is not sleepy, but my mind wants to sleep… Damn it.”

“You’ll get used to it in a month or so. Just focus on leveling up.”

“I absolutely don’t want to become like you. It’s unbelievable that you were once human.”

I laughed thinly at his words. Incidentally, I was thinking the same thing these days.

3F is big. Moreover, there are a lot of requirements to complete the quest. I couldn’t finish it or make great progress in a day or two, like on 1F or 2F.

I had to catch 100,000 normal monsters and 20,000 top species. It would take around 83 days, even if I hunt one monster per minute.

Of course, I can kill a monster in a minute, but including the time it took to search for monsters, it was too much.

At first, I numb mindedly complied with the task. But as my level increased and I become more familiar with the intermediate monsters that appear on 3F, my thoughts changed.

We’re wasting time.

That thought echoed louder as I watched Lee Chan-yu, who began to get stronger quickly after giving up sleep. There is a significant difference in abilities between him and me, but due to the limit of the number of monsters that could fit in one space, we always end up killing the same number of monsters per day.

With my abilities, it was possible to kill a monster at a rate of not only one per minute, but even one per five seconds. Why should I stay on the third floor for three months?

I could not allow it to happen. Such wasted time may prove to be nooses on our necks in the future.

But what could we do?

I only came to one conclusion.

A mass appearance.

I consulted it with Lee Chan-yu. He has achieved Level 70 and has become quite confident in his own strength, but he suddenly showed weakness after listening to me.

“I haven’t heard of anything that could artificially cause mass appearance… and bear in mind that these are all intermediate monsters!”

“But we can’t keep doing this. We have to get stronger faster. Lee Chan-yu, didn’t you say you are determined?”

“Damn in… Let’s do it!”

There is only one way to cause a mass appearance – killing many monsters in a short time.

And Lee Chan-yu had a skill that was most suitable for this.

War Cry.

A skill possessed by wolf monsters, especially werewolves, that arouses hostility from enemies.

However, it was a skill that was absolutely prohibited in dungeons. The effect of invoking the enemies is too dangerous.

Even at a Beginner level, War Cry could summon all monsters within a few hundred meters. The Werewolf Fallen even call this skill ‘suicide’.

It wasn’t a skill I could be envious of.

Lee Chan-yu’s War Cry is already at an Intermediate level.

The cry spreads farther, and more monsters would flock to it.

When all those summoned monsters are killed, the mass appearance will occur, and more monsters will come.

After hearing the disturbance, more monsters will flock around the area where the mass appearance occurred, and if a lot of them are killed, another mass appearance will occur.

It would continue until the third floor runs out of monsters.

Everything can be dealt with in one place.

This makes it possible to catch tens of thousands of monsters at once.

“That’s perfect.”

“Then, it’s perfect. Shall we pick our coffins in advance?”

When we met, Lee Chan-yu had a very serious demeanor, but now, he knows how to joke around.

He must have been a humorous and warm man.

I like it this way rather than getting someone who was dull and boring like me.

I laughed and tapped on his shoulder.

Then he snarled with his sharp teeth.

He let out a long, loud howl.

An Intermediate War Cry Lv7 howl that rang far and wide inside 3F.

The monsters around us have already been killed, so there was no immediate response.

I prepared myself and maximized my Detection.

Soon, I felt the ground vibrating weakly.

Thump. Thump. Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du

The dungeon’s vibrations are getting more intense. The Ebon Heart matched its pace.

They are coming.

“Damn, this is amazing. Captain, if I die…”

“Lee Chan-yu, don’t assume death.”

If we don’t kill them all, we die.

Only

But we don’t have to think about death. We should not think of death.

“We are going to kill them all. We will survive and be stronger. No one can ignore us. No one will attempt to hunt us.”

“Ha, damn it. That sounds impossible. But I’m starting to get excited.”

Hundreds and thousands of monsters are getting closer, flocking from everywhere.

I quietly grabbed Blood Shadow with my left hand.

Lee Chan-yu adjusted his armor, then snarled and pulled out his claws.

The battle is coming.

The battle that will make us stronger.
