Chapter 1603 This Even Has Clear Rewards?!

-----

"W-Wait a second, please don't go yet!" My grandmother, however, stopped us before moving to the two doors.

"What's wrong?!" I wondered.

"Well, wait a bit..." She said, suddenly beginning to sweat a bit.

"Wait for what?" Miranda asked her.

"J-Just be patient, child!" Svartalf sighed, crossing her multiple arms. "It's almost there, why is it not showing- Ah, there!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, messages made out of darkness and phantom appeared above us, showing letters and items. [Congratulations on clearing Floor 1/5 of the {Phantom Dragon's Abandoned Castle} as a Party!]

[Rewards will be distributed evenly based on contribution and total monster slain.]

[You gained: [+100.000.000 Divine Power] [Dark Dragon Blood Elixir (SS Grade)] x1 [Crystalized Phantom Heart (SS Grade)] x1 [Divine Ability Fusion Marble (SSS Grade)] x1]

"Woah, we got rewards?!" I asked. "Is this... System, is this connected to you?"

"Not entirely, but I did feel a connection. I might have unintentionally hacked into it and improved the rewards." She noticed. "Much like it happens with Dream Dungeons you create. This entire "dungeon" has a very similar structure."

The Phantom Snake Banshees gave loud screams that made my soul tremble, quickly making me flinch for a second, which the Skeleton Wyverns used to their advantage, using their sharp and long claws to release powerful strikes into my armor and then soul.

I had to fully reinforce my soul using a combination of Azure Ice Essence and then the Demonic Energy of my Demonic Physique to resist those attacks without being terribly wounded. Although my weapons were moving around rapidly and hacking and slashing them into pieces with a combination of my Soul Ether Coat and the [Divine Soul Pierce] and [Piercing Strike] Divine Abilities, they were still rather tanky, especially the Skeleton Wyverns and the Zombie Viper Dragons.

However, with a combination of powerful weapon techniques, my [Holy Sun] Divine Ability which was extra effective against Undead-type foes, even if they were Divine Soul Beasts, and my ever-growing Ice Magic powers, which allowed me to quickly freeze them, form shields, and spears to defend and attack, I reached the fifteenth room.

And what greeted me was the final boss was a single dragon-like soul beast, made of shadows and crystalized darkness. "That's the boss of the second floor! A Dark Umbral Dragon Shadow! The shadow of a great dark dragon turned into a monster." Svartalf explained. "I know it won't be easy for you this time, but-"

"{Holy Sun}"

FLAAASH!

I summoned a giant sphere of pure holy light, which quickly engulfed the entire Soul Beast, blowing it up on the spot.

BOOOM!

"Phew, thankfully it didn't disappear when it died. Though most of the shadows were just that, darkness, it had a body inside, it was decently sized, huh?" I touched the carcass and stored it inside my inventory. "Do you have to end battles so anticlimactically?" Sighed Svartalf. "Haha, sorry, sorry. Anyways, we're done here." I stepped outside to find I was finally the first. Yeah, I did speedrun those fifteen rooms quite quickly. I only had to wait another minute before the rest of my family arrived.

"Aww, papa beat us to it!" Benladra said.

"Hahah! I won this round!" I said proudly.
