Chapter 140 Tower Exploration (5) - Defeating The Boss

When the girls and the others saw that gigantic person, they could not believe their eyes! The more time they spent inside that tower, the more strange it became.

Damian did not look at them or care about their reaction, he cared about winning the fight against that dog, or else everyone would be in danger, including him!

The dog was initially scared, and something inside knew Damian was a formidable opponent to face, someone that may take his life. It did not move, staring at Damian.

On the other hand, Damian was not looking to stay there, as his transformation increased his body power a lot, yet it was not a state he could last forever, so finishing the fight as fast as possible was the best thing for him to do.

He dashed toward the dog, using his massive legs to close the gap between the two in less than one second. A punch straight to the dog's jaw, one of the jaws.

Damian noticed only one of the dog's heads could spit fire, which was the one his punch aimed for! He used all his strength to perform that punch, and it was so great that it beheaded the dog!

The head flew, and a lot of blood came from the wound, turning it into a gross scene. A scream of pain came from the dog, yet Damian was not done with him, attacking the remaining head.

There was no way the dog would let that happen without striking back, so it moved its head to the side and clenched on Damian's forearm, biting it!

The power behind the attack was tremendous, enough to pass through Damian's skin, and soon a river of blood spurted from the wound! It was a lot of blood from both parties due to their large bodies, making the two turn red with it!

"Aggr, evil doggo."

Despite one of his arms being locked, the other one was not, and now the dog did not have two heads anymore, so Damian used his left arm, punching the dog's head multiple times until it finally let go of his arm!

By then, the dog was dead, unable to keep fighting and falling to the ground; a voice echoed inside the room.

<First Level Cleared>

< Boss defeated>

<(Input Name) and his group, ( Input Name), ( Input Name), ( Input Name) passed the first level>

<The others will have to fight against the Boss again>

The voice was not the only thing, but messages appeared before the eyes of Damian, Alanna, Lucy, and Luna. It reminded him a lot of the system he had!

'Is this place somehow linked to my system?'

Damian did not know that, but completing the tower's first level was the best part! The girls too!

He then returned to his tiny form, flying toward the girls, still processing what had happened.

"Hahaha, so we can leave now! We completed the first level!"

The survivors of the other group were happy, screaming how they were the first ones to complete the tower's first level, moving toward the door on the other side of the room where the exit was.

They did not even thank Damian or go with the other girls. They wanted to reach the place first to get the rewards! But once they opened the door, there was a blue barrier blocking their passage, and a message appeared before their eyes, and the voice said once again.

<You did not complete the level; please defeat the boss first before continuing>

"What the fuck is this? We just killed that thing."

Damian, somewhat from them, heard it and said, "I killed it, not you."

"Huh? Shut up! Are you trying to get the rewards from us?"

They turned around to face Damian and the girls and were ready to pick up a fight, but something extraordinary happened then! The dog Damian had just defeated appeared out of thin air again.

It appeared and stared toward Damian, giving the other group a moment of relief, "Say shit about us now! You will have to fight the dog again while we just wait. Hahaha!"

But then, the mysterious voice of a woman echoed again, and a message appeared before everyone.

<Those who completed the level, please leave; you cannot return here after completing it.>

"Damian, is it truly you?" Alanna asked.

Damian nodded, not taking off his mask because others were around, "let's move toward that door. The dog won't attack us, and we have to leave."

The girls nodded too, and they all walked together toward the door, passing beside the dog who did nothing, acting as if Damian was not even there!

The dog wanted the other three before the door, getting up and running at them!

"Why is it attacking us and not him?" they cursed, unable to understand the situation.

No blue barrier on that door stopped Damian or the girls, who quickly walked out of the room, facing what looked like a corridor.

"What did just happen?" Lucy asked.

"It's like a game. They know we are a group, and I killed the Boss, so it counts for you too. Those people will have to fight again or leave and find another group for fighting the Boss. We cannot return so that powerful people cannot help others pass the levels, like power-leveling them."

Whoever created the tower thought about every detail to make it the same for everyone, and Damian wondered if that had something to do with his system, which also looked like something from a game. The same person may have created the two.

Anyway, right after Damian and the girls stepped out of the room, a message appeared before their eyes, asking them to put what names they wanted.

They had yet to do that, so the messages appeared ( Input Name), not their name.

The three girls decided to put their real names, but Damian did not because of the secrecy of his organization: The Dawn.

'Dawn.'

He chose that name, and after everyone put the names they wanted, a staircase waited for them at the end of the corridor.

"How did you become a giant like that?" Alanna asked.

She was not the only one who had questions about that, but the two sisters did not have enough intimacy with Damian yet to ask.

"A secret, I am sorry. Come, let's go," Damian said.

"But what about your arm? The wound looks nasty!"

Alanna worried about Damian, seeing how the wound on his arm was still bleeding. On the other hand, he was not worried that his giant bloodline would regenerate his body soon.

"Don't worry about it."

Seeing how Damian looked okay despite the wound, Alanna asked no more questions, walking with him toward the staircase and going up one more floor.

There was no pressure this time like it happened on the staircase leading to the second floor, and it was also a way smaller staircase. A blue portal awaited them at the top of the stairs, and on the other side of the portal was a resting room, like the one on the tower's base.

It looked similar to the first one Damian saw, with the only difference being a portal room where he could teleport back to the resting room on the first floor.

'So I can travel between all the resting floors, yet I must discover it first. But how do I get back here without a portal if I return to the first one?

Damian wondered and quickly found out. It was written on a note. His ring could open a portal for him to travel between resting floors too, but it only worked when someone was inside a resting room and not inside the tower level itself.

Another thing Damian noticed was that it was empty, meaning they had been the first ones to complete the tower's first level. He was sure about that because there was a massive stone with his name carved on it at the top.

<Rank 1: Dawn> <First Floor> <Clearing Speed: 00:55:00>

The name of the girls was also beneath his name, with the same clearing speed, yet they did not have the same rank because Damian was the one who killed the Boss there.

"Look, our names!" Alanna said, jumping with joy.

"Damian, how many points do you have?" Lucy asked.

Damian concentrated using his ring, and a message appeared before him.

<100 Points>

"100. You?"

"I have 30..."

"Me too."

The difference between their points was high, and Damian could only attribute that to the fact he had been the only one who fought against the Boss.

'Maybe going solo is the best decision?' Damian thought, and the girls did the same.

Sure, it was more dangerous to go alone, but the number of points would be higher, potentially leading to more gains in the long run.

Then that voice echoed again, and a message appeared before their eyes as if it was listening to what they were saying!

<You can only form groups now on specific levels of the tower.>
