Chapter 333: Returning To The Castle

Adam's intimidating aura along with his high Charisma Stat was more than enough to control the Giant Ant Beasts that were formed by his summon and could sense the Giant Ant Queen within him.

He could see that even without his Charm Skill and assertive aura, the Giant Ant Beasts could see the Giant Ant Queen within him and it made him wonder whether the beasts that he collected became a part of him and whether they were being stored within his soul.

It also made many other thoughts and ideas appear within Adam's mind, but he suppressed them all and after the Giant Ant Beasts did as he said, Adam sat down and began recovering his energy and HP.

The Collector Skill is a Unique Skill and the system stated that it had limitless potential and that Adam shouldn't be restricted while using it or coming up with different ways to use it.

Because of that, Adam had a new idea of a way to use the Collector Skill that he wanted to put to the test, but he decided to suppress that thought until the next time he entered the dungeon.

It was too risky to try out his idea in reality, since he was unsure whether it would work and whether he could control it, so it may damage his real body or lead him to harm someone around him.

While it would also use too much time and effort to use it currently as time was of the essence and Adam had to complete the floor quickly and find out what exactly is within the castle or what its purpose was.

[The Giant Ant Beasts will be able to take down most of the Goblin Beasts that are left if they stay in a group, but I am sure that they won't be able to take them all out, which is good. That will reduce the amount of Goblin Beast left for me to kill after finishing with the castle and if they kill all the Goblin Beasts, the floor will be completed and I won't get a chance to find out the secrets behind the caslte] thought Adam to himself.

Adam wondered whether there was some sort of protective array on the castle and also arrays that were controlling the traps, which was definitely a possibility since the Mage Goblin King was very skilled at the use of arrays.

But that would mean that there was someone or something controlling the arrays in the castle and providing them energy, which would require great amounts of energy along with great control.

There were too many unanswered questions, but Adam was hoping that they would be answered by using his Goblin Summon.

Although the Base Beast of his Goblin Summon was a mere Ordinary Goblin Beast, it actually had a surprisingly useful Special Trait which Adam had never actually put to use and wanted to see how effective it was.

Adam was unsure whether all Orindary Goblin had the Special Trait known as Treasure Hunting, but his summon did and he was grateful for it and planning to try it out.

He had underestimated the Goblin Summon and hadn't used it much, even when he was searching for treasure, but after facing so many capable Goblin Beasts that came in different forms and with different capabilities, Adam saw his Goblin Summon differently.

Within the beastpedia within his mind, although he couldn't use the system to check his summons, he could still feel all of them laying dormant within a room in his mind.

The same sensation of beast types fusing occurred each time Adam killed a new type of Goblin Beast and all the types were consumed by the Goblin Kings who had the capabilities of all the Goblin Beast types and more.

His Goblin Summon had become a fearsome beast that had become a hybrid of all the Goblin Beasts he had killed so far, and although it didn't have the special traits that the other Goblin Beasts had, its special trait was still a useful one.

Summoning his Goblin Summon, Adam summoned only the Ordinary Goblin Beast Type that had the Treasure Hunting Special Trait, as he didn't want its Special Trait to be weakened after fusing with so many other types of Goblin Beasts.

The hunch backed Goblin Beast, that held a wooden club and was relatively small compared to all the Goblin Beasts Adam had been facing, appeared out of thin air and Adam instructed it to follow after him.

"We will be entering that castle and there are many traps, but you should be able to handle a lot of them and I will also be supporting you. In the castle, I want you to lead me towards any treasure" said Adam as he walked over towards the castle gate with the Goblin Summon following closely behind him.

It felt unusual to have a Goblin Beast that was obedient to him and walking near him without any hostility, but Adam quickly got used to it as the gates of the castle began to slowly open as they neared it.

Adam was ready to break down the castle gate if he needed to, since he was unsure whether he would be allowed to enter a second time, but it seemed that the castle was inviting him in and wanted him to come in.

The gate began to open from when Adam was still a few dozen metres away, which showed Adam that the castle or whatever was controlling it was able to sense what was occurring around it.

It also showed Adam that the castle was eager to get him inside, which made Adam interested to find out who or what was behind the castle and whether they had something valuable for him to take.

Adam was also pretty sure that whatever it was controlling the castle, it was some sort of ultimate Goblin Beast that he had to take out and was a secret part of the floor.

He knew that with all the traps and with the controller of the castle knowing more about his capabilities, that it was likely a big trap, but he still confidently walked inside with his Goblin Summon closely behind him.
