Second World

Warpath and the others who followed behind saw Jack travel through the corridors and make turns without any hesitation. They were still skeptical but seeing this made them half-believe that Jack truly knew the way through this maze.

When they saw the big bull-face carving on the wall ahead, they knew then that Jack was not bluffing.

"How do you do this?" Warpath asked.

Jack just grinned at him without answering, which pissed him off.

"The limit is ten people, right? Let us all enter together," Jack said and touched the carving.

The others did the same, prompting the interface to ask them if they wanted to enter as a team. All nine agreed and they were transported to the boss' room.

Since no one had yet conquered this twelfth floor, the boss was certain to be a gold bull boss. The gold bull in front of them was bigger than the one Jack and the others had encountered before. This one was level 60 rare elite.

"Everyone stays back. I alone am enough," Jack declared.

Everyone complied except for one person. Jack looked to the side and saw Warpath advancing with his swords at the ready.

"I said don't give me orders," Warpath said.

"Suit yourself," Jack responded.

He then lunged forward with Charge and used Flame Strike. The gold bull boss was knocked away by the strike. Jack then called Therras who burst out of the ground where the boss landed, sending him high in the air.

Jack used Ultimate Beast, turning Therras into its sovereign mode. He also summoned his spirit weapon and at the same time cast Tracing Beams. The thirty beams hit the bull in succession. The beams' knockback effect kept the bull in the air. He was juggling the bull using his spell.

Jack then grabbed his spirit weapon and threw it where the bull was, instructing it to activate its finishing mode at the same time. Jack then executed Lightning God Barrage while having Therras shoot its earth core bomb. He also used Gold Dragon Breath.

The four elemental attacks hit the bull with synchronized timing, generating a massive explosion in the air.

When the explosion ended, what was left of the bull were torrents of gold coins that rained upward and then disappeared before hitting the ceiling. A few items dropped to the ground.

Warpath, who was standing below waiting for the bull to fall so he could land a hit, just stared up with mixed feelings.

"Is that necessary?" Dasher came by and asked.

"That wasn't very nice," Flowerrain added.

"Hey, I did say I alone am enough, didn't I?" Jack defended himself.

"You do realize you now have several big skills on cooldown, don't you?" Jet said. "Are we planning to stop here or are we going down further?"

"Um… Yes, I admit I'm a bit carried away. Hey, Warpath! I'm sorry, let's attack the next floor's boss together."

"F*ck you," Warpath replied.

"Man… That wasn't very nice."

"You are the one who isn't nice first," Flowerrain defended Warpath.

"Yes, yes, my fault. Come on. Let's play along nicely now. Oh, one thing to note, mana cores are mine. You can roll the other loot. I will be waiting on the next floor. Look alive, people! We will be the first to be on this thirteenth floor!"

Jack had swooped the mana cores dropped by the bulls. He made a quick Inspect of the others. They were just a few rare-grade equipments. He unsummoned Therras and jumped into the hole that had appeared on the ground.

Bowler and the others looked at the loot and said, "You people can take these equipments, we don't need it. But hurry up, okay? Or we will leave you."

The three then jumped into the hole as well.

Warpath's group looked at one another. These were Everlasting Heavenly Legends members? They didn't consider these rare-grade equipments as valuables.

Warpath's equipment was the best among the five. His equipment was mostly rare grades. As for the four, they still had many parts which were uncommon grades.

Though he saw a belt piece on the ground that could replace the one he wore that was still uncommon grade, he chose to forfeit. "I don't need them," he said and jumped into the hole.

"He is too prideful," Flowerrain complained. They all knew about Warpath's equipment. Flowerrain picked that one piece Warpath had seen. "I'll keep this for him."

The others didn't object. They quickly rolled for the rest and then jumped into the hole.

When they got to the next floor, they were greeted with the scene of Warpath and the others fighting some minotaurs. The weird thing about the scene was Jack. He was sitting cross-legged while the others fought.

"Don't just gape there, come and help! Protect Jack. Don't let these minotaurs get near him," Bowler called them. The minotaurs on this floor were around levels 60 to 65. So, they couldn't be as carefree as they used to be.

The four hurriedly took positions around Jack and aided those who were fighting.

Not long after, Jack opened his eyes and stood up. "I've found the way to the boss' room," He announced.

"What exactly did you do?" Warpath asked. All he saw was Jack sitting there without moving.

"My secret technique. You don't need to worry about it. All right, let's cut through these bullmen!" Jack exclaimed as he brandished his weapons.

With Jack joining the action, they vanquished the minotaurs in no time. Jack took the lead and showed the way they had to go. Jack used his Gold Dragon Breath every five minutes, blasting the minotaurs with light damage. They couldn't travel as fast as before because they couldn't kill the minotaurs as fast as on the previous floors.

Even though their advance slowed, Warpath's team was amazed. Their original goal was simply to reach the thirteenth floor, but it seemed that Jack's team had a different goal. They were already having difficulties fighting the minotaurs on this floor since the minotaurs here outleveled them. Warpath and Dasher were level 60, while Flowerrain, Bangstick, and Suckit were still level 59.

Jack's team, on the other hand, was still able to handle these minotaurs with ease. They couldn't check Jack's level. Jet was level 62, The Man was 61, and Bowler was level 60. The three were not much higher level than them, but the three seemed to be stronger than them. Even for Bowler who was the lousiest of the three.

They then noticed that the description of the three's class was not the standard elite class. They later learned that all three of them had first-class special classes.

Although the three hadn't leveled up too much since they got their special classes, the passive abilities of the class also boosted their attributes. Hence, they were stronger than the average players with standard elite classes.

Aside from that, Warpath also saw the three had martial art expertise, especially the Jet fellow. He thought that the old man's martial expertise was even much more profound than his. He now believed Jack's claim about Everlasting Heavenly Legends members receiving martial lessons from the martial art legend.
