Chapter 622 - The Hero Prepares While The Darkness Lurks

-----

"RESPLANDECENT SHINING SLASH!"

The young Myhner roared his lungs out,  as he slashed the air with his powerful blade!

SLAAAAAAAASH!

A flashing slashing attack of light reached a monstrous creature standing in front of him, it resembled an enormous and incredibly powerful living armor creature of over 20 meters coated in all sorts of demonic decorations, skulls, and more! Its appearance was utterly demonic!

CLAAAAASH!

The light reached it as it began to devour her and killed her instantly!

BOOOM!

Myhner saw as the corpse disappeared into thin air, and he gained EXP!

His group around him was tired, gasping for air.

That was the last Boss of this floor.

"Hahh… T-That was so tough… What kind of absolute monster was that?" asked one of Myhner's companions.

"I am so tired… I want to take a break for fucks sake!!!" cried a young girl, another companion.

"I am tired of dying over and over again…" sighed a more mature girl within the group.

"Yeah, I also think we should rest. We worked super hard today, everyone. I can't help but be so happy to have such hard worker allies with me… Phew…" Myhner guided his friends into the main city within this dungeon, where they were greeted by illusions resembling people from the past.

Myhner and his party of powerful heroes have been fighting and grinding in this dungeon for several months now… This dungeon was the one made by Bestellen and his subordinate gods, a dungeon made to defeat the enemies by enhancing the power of any human that entered on it, by the simply use of making them kill monsters and illusions inside to gain EXP! And the catch wasn't just that, this dungeon was made so they wouldn't die! After entering with their souls, they would be able to leave every time their illusion bodies were destroyed, which also carried a 100% copy of their physical power.

Many Heroic Gods were being mass-produced in here through citizens that entered and got strong enough by leveling up, the many armies sacrificed against the split souls were all civilians!

Myhner has been leveling like crazy here, but he had obviously been here more than those that became heroic gods, this was due to his amazing talent! He only requires training to become as powerful as Heroic God, and if he were to become one, he would give up the system, which was not a good thing.

Due to this, he was being made to level and gain Jobs without being turned into an Heroic God yet, but his strength had already reached the Realm of Demigods if not a big higher after such intense leveling and training with his Heroic Party.

In fact, his powers were being boosted through the roofs thanks to the many boosts he had as a Hero of Light, blessed by fate and even the many gods of the pantheon, due to this, his growth was near-unlimited.

And to boot, what he was fighting weren't normal monsters, it was illusions, recreations of Ervas and Veronica that had been recorded… these monsters would make good ways for the team to get used to the many weird abilities they had!

They had already fought against a monstrous Veronica resembling a  mass of shadows, death, and chaos, and even against an Ervas that was a giant chimera…

Of course they had also fought them against with their human forms, as weaklings.

Myhner, who was a man of justice and principles had hesitated at first, seeing the human-like faces they had, it felt inherently wrong to try to damage them!

But he slowly got used to killing them after they had tried to kill them and effectively killed him a few times through this dungeon.

After reviving countless times, he finds that it was insane to try to not fight against these monstrous beings, so he decided to kill without mercy…

As he adapted to the feeling of killing, he slowly climbed the tower, fighting greater abominations in the way.

His power was enhanced as he abused the Job System, changing Jobs dozen of times…

The same way that his allies did, changing Jobs was the best way for humans to enhance their power after all! Unlike monsters, they were unable to evolve or anything of the sort.

After having leveled up and changed Jobs a lot, they felt like they were ready!

But was that enough?

No. Bestellen stopped Myhner from being rash and told him that the power the split souls had was incredible, they needed to train and level up even more now… faster, and faster!

At long last, after climbing ten consecutive floors and dying miserably in a few of them, he gave himself a rest and jumped over his bed, he changed Jobs again, and he looked over his stats increase even more insanely…

"Phew… this was such an arduous day, I want to take a nap…" he sighed.

As Myhner slowly began to fall asleep, the presence hiding within his very being began to resurge, his eyes opened once more, but they were now crimson-red.

A dread presence emanated from him as death and darkness combined into his aura… his power had been enhanced incredibly high in these months of training inside this time-dilated tower dungeon!

This entity, of course was the Necromancer's fragment, the last remnant in the world that was taken from the original Necromancer that Ervas and Veronica beat…

The System Master had left this gift to Myhner before leaving for important issues on his home world, and after Hekaton died mysteriously, the fragment had complete free will! It was no longer forced to do anything it didn't wanted.

He looked around the room, as he sat down.

"Hahaha…! The power of Job Change is incredible… This amazing amount of EXP and levels up… and fighting those monsters resembling Veronica and Ervas… it is an excellent plan, Bestellen! I will make sure to do as you say, and slaughter them, alongside you too, of course! Hahaha…! Finally, my comeback is approaching!"
