Chapter 326 Clearing The Monster Hierarchy From Top To Bottom

Dante and Beatrice did not know that they had inspired the Spider Queen to become something greater than she was ever meant to be. They had long left her dungeon area and appeared in the area of an EX Rank monster based on the information Dante purchased all those months ago.

When they arrived, they found that they were in a volcanic area, which made Beatrice frown while Dante immediately felt comfortable due to his affinity with the fire element. The beast that lived here was said to be a volcanic flame wyvern that was the top of the food chain, even among the EX Ranked beasts of this world.

Dante was about to provoke it when Beatrice tugged on his jacket with a skeptical look. "Hey there mister, it's good to be enthusiastic and all, but aren't you forgetting something?"

'What?" Dante asked with obvious confusion.

Beatrice folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Now I understand you're a rich man in terms of those Spire Points and you can have any superpower you want, but you currently do NOT have the superpower of Absorption built into you by default."

"Oh, that? It's not a problem." Dante had a moment of realization as to what Beatrice was talking about and suddenly chuckled.

"Uh huh? It's not?" Beatrice asked while sizing Dante up and down to see if he was normal.

"Of course, babe. This world belongs to Lara, and while I previously did not dare to mess with her because of her power and backing, we both know that I am tasked with her suppression and downfall." Dante began to explain as he accessed his power.

Lights seemed to flash in his eyes as various rules and regulations that controlled this quantum world appeared before him. Beatrice was able to see them because Dante shared his POV telepathically.

"So before, I would have to log in with my avatar, create a session, and then descend, which was long and arduous. Now though, we can simply come here and change the rules of the world forcibly to suit us, Lara be damned." Dante concluded as he activated his 'account' on his real body, as well as Beatrice's when she was still in school.

Beatrice was speechless. "All those tough words yet you chose the least intrusive and confrontational method."

Dante blushed. "Well, I can't help it. I'm naturally attuned to taking the path of least resistance within a tolerable range after all."

"Right, right. Don't worry, you're still a tough bad boy to me because you've technically hacked the school server. That's incredibly ballsy." Beatrice snickered as she checked her old account to refresh herself on what her given superpower had been back then.

"Oh right. I remember I was a hotcake because of this back then, since it was the top 20 best superpowers one could get in this server." Beatrice felt the memories coming back and had a look of nostalgia.

"Yeah, but it's kinda useless given you can freely use 1st to 9th rank fire magic." Dante pointed out bluntly.

"Eh, when we came here, I didn't expect to get it back anyway. Besides, it will be interesting to generate fire from my superpower and then convert it into a fire spell. Maybe I might be the one to discover the path to natural 10th rank spells." Beatrice boasted smugly.

"Oh, that's a nice idea, but it isn't that simple." Dante disagreed and was about to lecture her on the intricacies of spells and spiritual power when Beatrice hurriedly interrupted him and pulled him into the volcano.

"Let's fight dear, you have stats to accumulate!" She said quickly, pointing a finger down and casting the 6th rank water spell, Cascading Waterfall.

A huge wave of water emerged behind Dante and Beatrice that passed over their heads and crashed down into the active volcano that was full of boiling magma. The ensuing reaction was exactly as you would expect, with the magma rapidly cooling and being turned into volcanic rock.

The surge of water vapor that was boiling hot rushed upwards, but Dante waved a hand and casually condensed the clouds of vapor into a ball of dark grey mist the size of a watermelon. He then glanced downwards to see the still boiling parts of the magma surging rapidly as a huge entity was roiling within.

The duo watched coldly as a giant wyvern the size of a small building flew out of the magma with a shriek that could tear the eardrums of a normal person. The air literally shook with soundwaves, causing quite the visual effect.

"Shut up!" Dante shouted irritably as he fired the condensed ball of vapor down into the wyvern's open maw with his full strength, causing the orb to explode its full quantity.

Immediately, the wyvern was silenced as it began choking on the mist, its eyes becoming bloodshot from the pain and lack of air that occurred due to the blockage of its windpipe. Even while airborne, it thrashed and ended up crashing into the side of the volcano's walls, scratching its throat while coughing out vapor in huge clouds.

Unfortunately for it, despite its relatively terrible situation, Dante and Beatrice had no sympathy nor compassion on their faces. Dante literally casted the 6th Rank Lightning Cannon spell while Beatrice used the 6th rank Spatial Cut spell.

So the Volcanic Flame Wyvern was first electrocuted terribly, a portion of its abdomen being blasted open as if shot by a railgun cannon, then its head was neatly cut off its body by a blade that it could not see nor feel, but was sharper than any metal in existence.

Its death was swift and brutal. It was unable to neither beg for its life nor make an epic battle, because the current Dante and Beatrice far surpassed its highest limit of imagination. It was to the point that even if they held back, they would likely still be unable to stop from killing the wyvern in one hit.

Dante collected the corpse for absorption purposes later, and the duo left the area. An overlord of the entire world, one of the only existing 10 EX ranked monsters, had perished here.

One should know, back when Dante got the wish to raise his genes and came here to go from 2500 SDI average to 200,000 SDI, he only hunted up to S rank beasts back then. Now here he was, hunting EX ranked beasts whose stats ranged from 4000 to 7000.

These were beings that no player dared to think of challenging, and even the natives of this world had given up, adopting the strategy of 'if I don't see you, then you're not there'.

Naturally, taking them down would have some long-term effects for both students who were descending and the natives of this quantum world, but they would not occur just yet.

Well, at least, they wouldn't have occurred just yet if it wasn't for the fact that the duo of Dante and Beatrice had not appeared at the location of another EX rank beast.

This time, they stood in the clouds above the wasteland, a place that almost no one in this current era could reach. The discovery of this EX rank beast had been done by descending students with special superpowers; otherwise, no one would have ever found it.

This one was the heavenly birdman beast, a half bird, half-man creature with extremely ugly features that wielded a spear of golden color. It also had some golden plate armor on its body, and its feathers were the same as that of a chicken in terms of color and style, while its head was shaped like a goose.

The moment Dante and Beatrice appeared, it detected them and came rushing out with a cawing shriek. Beatrice spread her legs as she entered the horse stance and simply pulled her right fist back.

Without using blood qi and only relying on the force of her fist, she punched forward and created a giant cannon of air pressure that struck the foe right in the gut. The heavenly birdman tried to use its ability to block, which was the manifestation of an angelic-like shield.

However, this barrier was easily shattered by the sheer pressure of the air cannon, causing the slightly weakened attack to strike the gut of the heavenly birdman that was covered in armor. The armor was cracked and drilled through immediately, its abdomen now sporting a giant see-through hole that leaked golden colored blood.

Due to the residual force, the birdman was sent flying back and crashed through many objects before it came to a halt, its body limp and twitching as its life slowly leaked out of its body. It weakly gripped the hole in its abdomen with a look of disbelief and incomprehension, struggling to raise its head to glimpse at its killer properly.

However, it could not even manage this as its head slumped down permanently, never to rise up again. Beatrice breathed out lightly and exited the horse stance, allowing Dante to quickly collect the corpse and take them away from this cloudy area as it was beginning to decompose.

Since the being that created and maintained this area was dead, it was natural that this special miniature habitat/biome would cease to exist, if not in time, then immediately.

"So that's two out of ten in less than 5 minutes." Beatrice noted as they left the area towards their next destination.

Dante shrugged. "Can't be helped, we're just too strong. Well, it's clear if we're going to push my limits stats-wise, we'll need to expand our pool of captured monsters. Let's clear everything down to the A Rank since players can realistically only handle up to the B rank."Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Beatrice chuckled. "How cruel. Those poor monsters have rights, don't you know? How could you treat them as nutrients for your growth?"

Dante sighed dramatically. "Haah, my beautiful Bea, it's difficult. I know that all things deserve a chance to maim and slaughter, so my maiming and slaughtering is wrong! However, I'm forced to by life, it's not like I am completely taking the initiative here!"

If the spirits of the wyvern and the birdman were here, they would cough out blood and roar to the sky in impotent rage. After barging into their domains and taking their lives without even giving them a chance to fight back, you dare to be sarcastic and satirical?

Like this, for almost an entire day, the Apocalypse World was turned upside down. I-lundreds of thousands of monsters were slaughtered and captured into the quantum space, causing the administrative A1 of the world to wail endlessly at the consumed resources.

After all, quantum worlds, though virtual in nature, still relied on certain resources to work. Once taken away, they could naturally be regenerated and grown back, but it would require effort and time, causing the 'performance' of the entire server to lower itself.

Dante and Beatrice did not know this, but Lara was currently gritting her teeth and clenching her fists as the Central A1 reported to her tearfully about their wanton actions, expecting her to do something.

However, what could she do? Putting aside the fact that she did not dare to fight either Beatrice or Dante, there was also the fact that she built the world using the resources of Etz Chaim, not her main body!

This was something that the current Dante knew that the previous Dante did not. Previously, Dante thought it was a random higher- dimensional being sponsoring Lara, which was what he sensed with his EX Quantum Core ability, but with what we knew now, that was obviously impossible.
