The Devourer's head and tail were cut in half.
But it didn't die.
The half of its body with its head was crying out in agony and rolling in the sky. The other half of its body was being devoured.
The small Hell Fiend Spider took a deep breath and the Devourer's body, which was dozens of times the size of Naveya City, shrunk to a few centimeters in an instant. Its thickness was as thin as a strand of hair and it was swallowed by the Hell Fiend Spider.
Satisfaction and joy were transmitted to Kieran's heart.
Then, the Hell Fiend Spider vanished from the wristband.
[Mardos Lair] then started to shine with a layer of dark golden radiance.
"Damn insect!"
The Devourer roared furiously as it was left with half of its body.
The Devourer didn't know how Kieran was able to unleash such an explosive sword strike, neither did it know why things that made it tremble appeared one after another.
But it knew half of its body had been devoured.
The Devourer's body had been devoured.
It wasn't just a vile joke, it was related to its strength.
No matter how trembling its heart was, it wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Enduring the pain, the Devourer turned its body around and threw itself at Kieran.
Kieran, who was exhausted, was leaning on Creature of Desire. His eyes skipped over the Devourer that threw itself at him and looked at Lady Thorn.
He waved at Lady Thorn.
It was like a farewell.
A moment later, Kieran and Creature of Desire vanished.
The Devourer roared loudly as it missed its target.
"Despicable insect!"
…
Even though Kieran had returned to the game lobby, his ears were buzzing from the roar.
Shaking his dizzy head, Kieran wanted to rub his temples but the weakness in his body prevented him from moving even a finger.
Within a short period of time, Kieran had exhausted all his Stamina twice, especially the second time when he fused several Origin Forces into [Dawn Sword], even though Kieran's Constitution had reached new rank 1, he couldn't bear it.
"2567, are you okay?"
Starbeck, who had returned to the game lobby earlier, asked worriedly when he saw Kieran's reaction.
"Not bad."
"I overexerted myself."
Kieran answered truthfully.
"Do you need stamina recovery potions?"
Starbeck asked.
Kieran immediately nodded.
He would not reject a potion that could quickly restore his strength.
Although the game room was theoretically absolutely safe, Kieran still hated his current weak and powerless state.
After Kieran nodded, Starbeck took out two Stamina Potions.
It was different from normal stamina potions. With Kieran's [Potionology] level, he could tell that it was a high-grade potion just by looking at the color.
Kieran raised his hand to take the potion.
But his weak body made it impossible for him to do such casual movements.
"I, I'll feed you."
Starbeck stuttered when he saw how weak Kieran was.
Then, before Kieran could answer, Starbeck helped Kieran up and let Kieran lean on his chest. He removed the cork from the test tube and carefully fed Kieran bit by bit.
After both Stamina recovery potions were fed to Kieran, a warm feeling spread out from his stomach and flowed throughout his body. It was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring, causing Kieran to close his eyes uncontrollably.
Then …
Kieran fell asleep.
The system blur prevented Starbeck from seeing Kieran's real face but the loud snores told Starbeck that Kieran was tired.
Starbeck never doubted Kieran's words.
Starbeck had been following Kieran throughout the dungeon world and he knew Kieran's pace of life. Other than the inevitable battles, unless it was absolutely necessary, Kieran wouldn't rest 24 hours a day. He was either searching for valuable clues and information in the dungeon world or deducing and perfecting his plans.
Starbeck had never seen such a hardworking person before.
Right!
Risking his life!
He had seen hardworking people before.
However, compared to Kieran, those hardworking people were still lacking.
"Why are you risking your life like this?
But only by risking your life like this can you reach your current level in such a short period of time.
Really … "
"Amazing."
Starbeck looked at Kieran who was sleeping soundly and muttered softly.
However, as he muttered, Starbeck suddenly thought of something, his blurry face showed an embarrassed and angered expression.
"Next time, if you have any plans, you must tell me beforehand …"
"I-I'm afraid of heights.
But if you discuss it with me beforehand, I-I'll try my best to overcome it. "
The angered and embarrassed Starbeck didn't throw Kieran, who was in his arms, on the floor.
Given Starbeck's character, he would never do such a thing.
Besides, Starbeck's anger and embarrassment faded away quickly.
It came quickly and went away even faster.
All that was left was Starbeck's muttering.
"And that snake …"
"Such a big snake, it's my first time seeing it, it's too scary.
It's even uglier than the earthworm that scared me last time. "
"Do you know?
That time, I dug the soil myself to plant a bunch of Persian chrysanthemums, who knew there would be earthworms … "
…
The soft murmurs were intermittent.
His snoring got louder and louder.
Amidst the louder snoring, Starbeck felt more natural.
Not only did the restraint slowly disappear, even his snoring had a liveliness that wasn't there before.
Although no one heard his snoring.
No one really heard him?
Maybe.
…
Outside 13th Wallway Street, Lawless was waiting anxiously with a cigar in his mouth.
As a veteran player, he knew very well how dangerous it was to enter a dungeon without sufficient preparation.
In fact, let alone not being fully prepared, even if one was fully prepared, as the dungeon entries accumulated and the difficulty increased, it would still be dangerous.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be players who failed the dungeon.
"Damn cunning merchant!"
Lawless said through clenched teeth.
He hated Broker a lot. From the first moment he laid eyes on Broker, he hated him. He felt Broker was always putting up a front, like a venomous snake with a smile on its face.
However, Lawless still underestimated Broker.
Broker had been planning for a second Unique Title since the beginning.
He didn't even mind altering the original dungeon progression.
Lawless had no idea how to alter the progression but he knew he would have to pay an unimaginable price. Even with Broker's wealth, it wouldn't be easy for him to achieve such a feat.
"Cutting off all means of retreat?
Or is victory within his grasp? "
Lawless took a deep puff of his cigar, his eyes suddenly turning deep. A Gatling gun appeared in his hand and was pointed at the shadow beside him.
