Re: Evolution Online-Novel

After crushing all the undead mobs in his path, Liam finally reached the final boss of the entire dungeon. This was the upgraded dungeon where the fifth floor, which was the last floor of the dungeon, had Level 95 to 100 monsters.

However, unlike in the dungeons before, these did not pose any threat to Liam, thanks to the abundant nether all around him. 

He steamrolled through the whole dungeon and was now even standing in front of the final boss, which looked like a huge armored undead warrior with a greatsword. It carried the greatsword in one hand and its missing head in its other hand, looking particularly threatening.

Liam calmly inspected the boss.

<Ding. Fourth General Dullahan; Level 100>

"Oh? Level 100?" He nodded indifferently and commanded his blood-soaked nether scythe to move forward. 

Perhaps before, a Level 100 boss might have made him sweat, even if it was a little bit, but now, after facing the Level 205 Hive Queen, the aura of the undead in front of him was not even noteworthy.

His own level was also no longer 81. He was now at a staggering 95. 

Struggling with the isons day in and day out and repeatedly injuring his soul only had this single advantage. He was leveling up at an incredible pace.

But even more incredible was this dungeon. He had just blasted through the whole dungeon in a matter of minutes and gained two whole levels!

In the presence of nether, killing the numerous undeads of Level 90 and above was as easy as massacring an ison swarm of Level 40.

Thanks to both of these factors, his stagnant level skyrocketed! Like a godsend, this dungeon had arrived at a perfect time, right when he needed it!

Liam did not think too much about it and willed his scythe to clash against the final boss. The headless Dullahan roared in rage, or more specifically, the head that it was carrying in its hand roared loudly.

The greatsword clashed with the scythe, and waves of nether rippled from the collision sending powerful destructive tremors throughout the entire dungeon. The whole place was shaking.

Madan sitting at the entrance, gulped. He did not know what Liam was doing, but he had a feeling that maybe he shouldn't continue staying inside the dungeon. He had a hunch that this whole place was going to be torn down.

When a lower-level dungeon was fully cleared, an upgraded dungeon was revealed, but what if an upgraded dungeon was also completely emptied out? What would happen then?

Madan licked his lips. Perhaps today, he was going to witness this event personally. He silently wished Liam good luck and stepped out of the dungeon through the portal.

However, the moment he stepped out of the dungeon, he suddenly swung around and looked in a southerly direction. He did not know why but out of nowhere, he got a strong feeling as if he was being watched.

When he looked, he did not find anyone, but Madan did not want to take any chances. If there was any danger, he at least needed to scout it out for Liam. He immediately activated [Stealth] and blended into the wilderness.

Thanks to the massive discounts that were currently up and running in the magic shops, he was able to learn this useful skill. He also had a plan for scouting.

While Madan became invisible, at the same time, a small black snake appeared in a tree nearby. The snake had a pair of bright emerald eyes, and it stared ahead toward the south. Soon the snake began slithering as if it had identified its target.

The little snake was very small, completely inconspicuous in the untamed wilderness that was sprawled across the region, but its speed was extremely impressive.

It crossed the huge distance between itself and its target in the span of a few seconds, its little head peeking here and there before finally showing up at the destination.

When it did, surprisingly, its little slit-like eyes suddenly glowed with a golden hue. This was the special skill of the little snake, [Hunter's eyes].

Through these golden eyes, Madan was able to observe the scene in front of him. While this little pet might not be useful for a lot of things, it was the best when it came to scouting.

Also, what he doubted was bang on point.

There, a little distance away from the snake, a person was crouched, concealed amidst dense brambles. More importantly, Madan immediately recognized this person as soon as he saw him.

This was because he was one of his trusted allies and friends from his guild, the Trimurtis. Coincidentally, this was also the person who had informed him of this very dungeon.

Madan's gaze turned cold. What was his friend doing here, observing the entrance of this dungeon? He was the one who informed him, so why was he spying here?

He shifted his gaze between the dungeon and his friend when suddenly something clicked in his mind.

"No. No. No. It can't be." Madan's face immediately became grave. He shivered as he couldn't help but connect the obvious dots.

A few days ago, their guild had magically discovered this dungeon out of nowhere, and suddenly his brother was trapped in a dangerous situation.

But lo and behold, one of the powerhouses he knew also became injured in this same time span, and coincidentally, he, Madan, somehow had the key to help him out, thereby solving all the issues at the same time.

Wasn't all of this a bit too serendipitous? Did this all really happen by chance?

No! How could it?

Madan did not believe in luck. In life, it was hard work that paid off, not luck. So there was no way all of this happened on its own. The presence of his friend hiding in the bushes was more than proof enough for this.

And since it did not occur by chance, who could have possibly made it happen or even had the power to orchestrate something so elaborate?

Madan did not have to think twice to know the answer to this.
