Chapter 1177 Anticlimactic - Part 1



The monsters in the pyramid did not move even though the swarm was cleared. Tang Shaoyang and the group had to come to the pyramid by themselves. None of them looked exhausted after clearing the swarm of monsters. Lu An seemed happy with his gain as it was shown on his face, smiling as they approached the pyramid.

At the peak, there was a troll, which looked like the boss floor. The troll was four meters tall, red-skinned, wearing belt armor, a pauldron, with a broadsword on the back. Aside from the skin, it looked like a normal troll. At a lower level of the red-skinned troll, there were seven monsters; four Orcs and three trolls. The sevens were fully equipped, more than the red-skinned troll. Their chest was covered in plate armor, their feet were covered in steel boots, and a weapon of their choice.

On the third highest level, there were twenty monsters. Not fully equipped, but they had the necessary equipment such as plate armor to cover their bare chest and a weapon on each monster. From then on, the remaining monsters were only equipped with weapons. Clearly, the top three levels of the pyramid were where the strong monsters gathered.

Tang Shaoyang reached the range of Detection skill, and he used it on the red-skinned troll. The result was a disappointment. The boss floor was not that high in rank. In fact, it was just a low-rank monster in his eyes, what a disappointment. He shook his head as he felt like the boss floor was not worth it for him to stop by to kill it.

[Name: ? | Class: Troll Warlord | Rank: Ancient | Level: 2670]

It was a named monster, but it was just an Ancient Rank. The breeding ground had a monster with a much higher rank than this boss floor. What a disappointment. Below the Troll Warlord, where the seven monsters stood up, they were the Monster General. That was their class, and they are also Ancient Rank with no name. From the third highest level to the bottom part, the remaining monster was Epic Ranks. Around seven hundred Epic Rank monsters.

Darlene was the only one who stiffened after finding out there were a little over seven hundred Epic Rank monsters. Tang Shaoyang and Rosalie were disappointed while Lu An was quite excited because he was fighting the monster on the same level.

Tang Shaoyang stretched out his hand, "You guys can handle them without my help, right?" He did not plan to join the fight, letting the others gain the maximum benefit. He was Myth Rank and level 4179 after clearing his trial. If he fought all the monsters, the most he could get was five levels or maybe tens at most. He would rather give Lu An and Rosalie so they could catch up to him, and also for the Skelly Family and his companion beasts to level up.

"What?" Darlene could not believe what she heard, "Why don't you want to help them? Do you want them to die? It's a named monster. That should be much stronger than a normal Ancient Rank. You should help to fight the boss at least."

"No! The boss is mine!" Rosalie and Lu An said at the same time, catching the Princess off guard with how loud they were. The Princess looked at the lady and the young man. She did not doubt the lady could win against the boss, but not Lu An no matter how bizarre his shadow power was.

"Choose! Do you want the boss, or do you want the seven generals," Rosalie gave the choices to Lu An. Both knew that Tang Shaoyang was not interested in the fight with how low rank and low level these monsters were, so it was left to them. She made the choice for Lu An, sharing the experience. The even generals were between level 2100 to level 2250.I think you should take a look at

Lu An should take the seven generals as they would benefit him more than one boss. Rosalie would get more benefits from killing the monsters that are on the same level as her. That was the logical decision, but she gave him the choice, in case he wanted to fight an opponent that was stronger than him in terms of attributes.

It was a difficult decision as Lu An hesitated to make the choice. But then he chose what benefited him the most, the seven generals, "I will take on the monster generals."

"What about the remaining monsters? We got the share too, right?" Karan, the Firestorm Berserker, who had been silent finally spoke. He wanted to fight the ranked monster too. The non-ranked monsters were quite a boring fight as it was a one-sided slaughter for him. There was no fightback from the non-ranked monster, and the Epic Rank should be able to put up the fight that he wanted for a battle. A one-sided fight was no different than butchering livestock, after all.

"You all can fight together for the Epic Rank. I don't think the seven generals and the boss floor will move until you all clean up the Epic Rank," Tang Shaoyang said,  looking at the boss floor who looked down at him as well.

From the look of it, the boss floor would not participate unless they went up to the pyramid. Even the Epic Rank monsters did not move from the Pyramid even though they were just twenty meters away from the pyramid. It felt like the pyramid was a selection by the boss monster. Whoever could reach the peak would fight him.

Keeper, The Infernal Gunslinger, was the first one to take action after Tang Shaoyang's suggestion. He fired the first shot at the monster at the middle rank of the pyramid, aiming for a higher-level monster for himself. However, the dark mana bullet was reflected with an invisible barrier. There was a barrier that protected the monster from the ranged attack. The barrier was like ten meters from the Pyramid, meaning they had to come closer to destroy the barrier if they wanted to use the range attack.

Greed and Lu An were the fastest to react to the barrier. They decided to enter the barrier, and it did not block them from getting onto the pyramid. As soon as Lu An and Greed passed the barrier, the Epic Rank Monsters comprising Trolls, Orcs, and Hobgoblins started to move.

"Remember, you are not allowed to use the Shadow Domain while fighting the Epic Rank monster! That will be unfair to the others!" Tang Shaoyang reminded Lu An and Greed from behind.

After that, the remaining people entered the barrier and fought the Epic Rank Monster.
