Chapter 1178 Anticlimactic - Part 2



Darlene watched the fight unfold before her eyes, and she was left speechless about how hundreds of Epic Ranks Monsters easily fell off. Even for the weakest group, the Skeleton Army. They could handle the Epic Rank monster pretty well. They moved systematically in formation, luring one of the Epic Rank monsters before killing it one by one.

The leader of the Skeleton Army was no different than others, handling the Epic Rank monster with ease. The Epic Rank Monsters were no different than the mobs monster they killed earlier. Darlene was at a loss for words to describe what happened before her.

'Anticlimactic Boss Raid? A One-Sided Slaughter?'

The raid that was supposed to be completed with a big party was cleared with a party of five. Even though the skeleton army was a hundred, most of the contributors were the red-haired lady, Golden Dragon, Dark Predator, and Lu An.

'Ah, it's a party of four?' She forgot that Ying never joined the fight even once. The man had been watching his friends from the sideline. 

The Princess had been wanting to witness the glory of the boss raid, but she could not feel that glory here. This was totally different from what she read in the book or what her grandfather told her. Because the one who raided the boss overpowered the monsters.

"You look disappointed," Tang Shaoyang could not help but make a comment at the sight of Darlene's disappointed expression. She was the one who wanted to watch the fight, and she did it by exchanging quite important information for this too. He wondered why she was disappointed.

"I can't feel the glory of defeating the boss floor that my grandfather talks about. This feels empty, in fact, boring," The Princess wanted the entertainment from the battle, but this was no battle. The monster kept falling without putting up a fight.

"That's because we have a different objective than your kingdom, Princess. Your faction has the luxury to summon Ancient Rank Dimensional Tower to train your soldier or people, but for us, this Dimensional Tower is the way to survive, to get stronger. Our battle is not here, but in another place," Tang Shaoyang ended up speaking more than he intended, but it did not matter since the princess already figured out he was a newbie in this tower.

Darlene fell silent as what Tang Shaoyang said was spot-on. She might see the scene she had in her mind if her faction raided the boss's floor. There might be one Primordial Rank or even Legend Rank to oversee the situation while creating a party of Ancient Rank and below. The fight would be more intense if they sent the people within the same rank as the monster to train.

However, this group had a different aim than her faction. They intended to go to a higher floor to reap more benefits from the tower so they could get stronger. That was the original goal of the tower for players like them, and she had forgotten that goal because of how strong her kingdom was.

"Then can I follow you to climb the tower? Maybe I can experience the glory when I watch you guys fight the higher floor boss," Darlene gave it a shot. She would be safer to follow this group climbing up the tower than following the trainer knights. That was how she felt, it was safe though it was boring.

"No!" Tang Shaoyang flatly refused the princess without a second thought. The reason he allowed her to follow them was for information. Unless she gave him something he could not refuse, he did not mind bringing extra baggage.

"We are almost done here. I will escort you back to the outskirts of the city, then our deal is over."I think you should take a look at

Darlene looked up at the pyramid, and the battle was indeed almost over. The Epic Rank Monsters were gone, leaving the corpses behind, scattered around the pyramid. Some corpses were intact, but most of them were missing parts. Four of seven monster generals had fallen under Lu An's swords, and the named monster had half of its body burned in golden fire.

The fight was over. The young man called Lu An struggled this time compared to the beforehand fight but managed to kill the seven monster generals after forty minutes of fighting. As for the red-haired lady, she finished the fight faster than Lu An.

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Eleventh Floor Boss!]

[The Tang Empire has gained access to the Twelfth Floor!]

The notification rang in Tang Shaoyang, an indication they got the job done. However, it was unknown how they reached the twelfth floor. The system did not tell him how to climb up. There was no portal or anything, nothing but just two notifications.

Tang Shaoyang looked at Darlene, "Don't tell me the portal to the twelfth floor is in the Administrative Building?"

"Hmmm, not sure about that, but I don't think so," Darlene was quite confused at first, but then she recalled he was a newbie. Even though the way they fought the boss floor did not reflect that they were newbies, "You can get to the twelfth floor from anywhere. However, if you want to return to this floor, you will be teleported back to your starter city."

After Darlene said that, Tang Shaoyang saw a transparent screen in front of him. He just needs to use his thoughts to open up the screen. He thought of climbing to the twelfth floor, and the screen appeared.

[Do you want to go to the 12th floor of the Ancient Rank Dimensional Tower? Yes/No?]

He chose no as he heard Rosalie call him from the peak pyramid. The exit portal was at the top, inconvenient for him but it was convenient for the people who fought the boss. He recalled the skeleton and Karan back before flying to the top, carrying the princess like he carried a sack.

"We will escort her back to the city, then we will go to the twelfth floor," After saying that, Tang Shaoyang entered the exit portal with the others following him. There was no reward for killing the boss floor which was a disappointment. Another Treasure Chest would be better than nothing, but the System was quite stingy this time.

The group returned to the same spot, in front of the gate. However, they were not the only group there. There was another big group to his right and a person to his left. They seemed waiting for him, or maybe waiting for the portal gate. Regardless of their reasons to be here, Tang Shaoyang was on guard. The thing seemed would not end smoothly as he thought it would after killing the boss floor.
