Chapter 1256 - Important Rule For Proper Dungeon Bosses
Mid-flight, the boss abruptly stopped, his movements suspended as the not-quite-so-dead-anyway Risen revealed himself once more. A turquoise aura of pure blight energy enveloped the entire area as the trap was triggered, creating a multi-layered sphere of magic circles enveloping the boss.
Once more, the B-grade released a disruptive wave of energy to free himself, but this time around, it utterly failed to do anything as more and more layers of formations were added continually by the ...

The Labyrinth Master regarded Casper for a moment as he shifted the gunlance in his hand before lifting it up and pointing it at the Risen. It instantly erupted, releasing a massive shockwave as it shot out a bullet that Casper barely managed to avoid with the help of Lyra.
He was still mid-dodge as the boss shimmered, displaying the same kind of movement skill as the Marksmen as he appeared right behind the Risen. Stabbing forward, Casper had no other choice but to simply take the hit,...

While Jake and Casper had spent most of their time in Minaga’s dungeon casually bantering and having fun, they did need to get serious at times, and as they approached the final boss, this was one such time.
The “Inner Labyrinth” guards were substantially more powerful than anything prior, and the Gunlancer and Marksman they had initially encountered were just a taste of what was to come. They encountered a few similar groups of roughly equal power, but after a while, they saw thr...

The push to B-grade was the main theme of these times across Earth and in many factions of the multiverse. Those from the new universe were approaching their evolutions, with a rare few having already successfully evolved.
This shared timing wasn’t merely a coincidence or explained away by everyone needing roughly the same amount of time to progress. Instead, it was an expression of Records across the multiverse. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the flood of Records from those evolv...

Jake was halfway expecting there to actually be a hidden third phase or something like that, but as the seconds ticked by, nothing happened. Casper seemed to notice Jake was still on guard and hadn’t deactivated his boosting skill and yelled out while flying up.
“It’s done!” the Risen let him know, having already deactivated his own boosting skill, looking a bit worse for wear as a result. “I can feel that something unlocked atop the ziggurat. Likely a way forward or some clue...

Perhaps killing the Guard Captain before wiping out all the Elite Guards had been a mistake, but Jake didn’t regret his actions. Even if this decision ended up making the encounter harder than it needed to be, he didn’t necessarily view that as a bad thing. In fact, wouldn’t making it harder only be more fun?
If they were already truly struggling, then yeah, it would have been reckless, but neither Casper nor Jake had gone all-out yet. Far from it.
Casper on the ground below...

The Formation Master was clearly the most powerful foe at the ziggurat, but targeting them first didn’t seem possible. The entire top floor of the ziggurat was enveloped by a translucent barrier with countless runes swimming across it, and while Jake was confident in breaking through it, he doubted even his opening attack would be able to do so, and if he wanted to break it fully, it would take way too long.
Moreover, this barrier seemed to not only stop everything from going in but a...

“This makes no fucking sense!” Jake yelled, flying at full speed while flapping his wings frantically. “Where the hell would a faction with B-grades even have gotten something like that!?”
“Stop asking questions that we both know don’t have a reasonable answer!” Casper yelled back, curse and ghostly energy revolving around his body as he barely matched Jake’s speed with the help of Lyra.
Behind them, an item of immense power was rolling towards them. It was a glowi...

Jake stood with his arms crossed and watched as Casper started setting up for his magic. He spent a little while placing stakes in a large circular pattern, and once he was satisfied, he began pulling Construction Golems.
He shot out stake after stake and purposefully flared his aura in an attempt to bait them towards him. It took him a little while as Minaga had spread out the B-grades a lot, but eventually, he had all thirty-two remaining golems hot on his ass.
This period also ...

Jake hadn’t seen much curse-related yet for him to take inspiration from, but this brief talk about the concept of death had certainly given him some food for thought. When it came to poisons, Jake was best at death-affinity poison, but he also knew that its usage was very limited and specialized.
As Lyra said, Jake focused almost solely on making death energy an antithesis of life energy, thereby inflicting significant damage on biological lifeforms. From her explanation, it also mad...

“Then I guess I shouldn’t disappoint,” Casper answered with a smile as he began walking towards the in-construction Grand Labyrinth. His steps were slow and steady at first, but after a couple, a familiar dark energy began emanating from his body right as he disappeared.
He reappeared in the distance, having used some kind of movement skill. Once there, he crouched down and touched his hands to the ground while speaking, and after a solid minute, he got up again, threw Jake a glan...

The three of them stood in front of the gate leading into the dungeon as Minaga turned to Jake and Casper.
“Do remember to take notes and submit a proper report once you’re done, alright?” Minaga said. “Especially you, Jake. You are coming in with fresh eyes and a unique ability to exploit and ruin any good dungeon you enter, so your feedback should be absolutely devastating yet unique.”
“I’m honestly unsure if you actually want my c...

Jake continued to be confused by the Unique Lifeform’s overenthusiastic level of interest, especially when he considered one tiny detail…
“Didn’t you already know about it?” Jake asked. Minaga had been around while he was visiting the Pantheon of Life, and based on what Jake knew, was fully aware that something was going on between him and the goddess.
“I fail to see how that’s relevant,” Minaga countered. “Besides, even if you claim I al...

Jake hadn’t been that surprised when the Viper mentioned a dungeon in his own universe. In fact, wasn’t it only natural that the newly integrated universe was also rife with new dungeons to discover?
He was a bit suspicious, though. Not necessarily because of the circumstances or where the dungeon was located, but because of the person who directed him there. The Viper loved to mess with Jake, and he had a strong feeling that this final dungeon would, in part, be the snake god pulli...

Vesperia rose from her slumber, standing up in the pool of thick liquid that seemed to stick to her body. She still felt its energies seeping into her body, but she’d reached saturation for now, reaping few if any benefits.
Walking out of the pool, she released a faint burst of power to clean herself off and look more presentable as she exited the secured chamber. Checking her status menu, she saw this trip to the pool had awarded her eleven levels. A decent amount, especially conside...

Carmen parried the spear with her forearm, making it slide to the side as she closed the distance and elbowed the warrior in the chest. The guy let out a groan as he was pushed back, with Carmen pursuing to land another jab.
However, before she had the chance to, an arrow struck her in the side and released an explosion of fire, throwing her off-course and forcing her to abandon her attack. She quickly assessed the situation and realized that while the spear warrior was the most dangero...

Jake stared confused at the Viper for a moment before he answered:
“Yes? Pretty sure I already told you, and if I didn’t, it was the capstone skill I got at level 320,” Jake said, unsure why Villy was asking in such a serious tone. Sure, the skill was awesome, but that didn’t warrant a Primordial asking about it like this.
“So it was, huh,” the snake god said, standing there cross-armed and tapping his finger on his arm a few times. “Odd. Very odd indeed.” 2025-10-29 12:14:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Chapter 1239 - Dragonslayer
Jake entered meditation and allowed his senses of the world to fade away, which also had the lucky side-effect of removing any sense of pain. This allowed Jake to focus fully on recovery while also going through his system messages, of which he had quite a few.
He also reflected a bit on his conversation with the aunt of Yrelstromoz and noted that she called him a Dragonslayer towards the end. In truth, he had found that a bit odd, especially the way she’d said it.
It sounded li...
