🕑 Added 2025-05-28 02:00:03 +0000 UTCAnton passed through several monsters with a speed that would bring shock to adventurer groups, but considering that he was an extremely high-level wizard, it would be expected of him to be overpowered on the floor that he was delving into.
According to Tobias, the old wizard who was part of the Adventurer Guild and who taught Anton a lot of things, his case wasn’t rare. There were incredibly powerful people who came into Ormunda, and just like him, they would need to tackle the dungeon floors that were considered beneath them, so they could complete the quests that would allow them to go to the floors that they were supposed to delve into.
His summons defeated a mixture of minotaurs, cyclops, gargoyles, rock golems, stone pythons, and more, and none of them could even scratch any of his summons, even the ravens. The only thing that caused some of his summons to die was the astonishingly fatal traps that Anton felt were incommensurate with the level of the floor.
At the very least, Anton didn’t have to deal with the traps and just let the summons trigger them since he could always summon them back in case they died.
Anton didn’t even stop during noon for lunch since riding the back of the dire bear was so comfortable that he didn’t feel tired at all. Not only that, the dire bear’s movement was so stable that he could eat, read, and watch shows from the bear’s back without any issues.
By the time night arrived, Anton saw that he was in the portal key indicator that he was almost halfway through defeating all of the monsters on the floor. Anton didn’t even count the mana stones that he managed to retrieve from the monsters anymore and just put them into a bag and then stored them in his inventory. He planned to count them once he was done with the dungeon. Like some sort of opening a surprise gift.
The body parts that he retrieved from the monsters’ corpses were a lot easier to count since they stack in his inventory, and his inventory showed the exact number of items. For example, he already had a total of fifteen minotaur horns, sixteen stone python hearts, twenty-four cyclops eyes, etc.
Anton cleaned the area where he decided to sleep and then cleaned himself. After eating dinner, he lay down to rest while all of his summons guarded him. His sleep was made comfortable by a combination of his Frozen Orb air conditioner and Firewall Stove to achieve what he considered the perfect sleeping temperature and the Pearl of the Ocean would make sure that the quality of his sleep would be the best.
Before sleeping, Anton decided to purchase a mini house that he could store in his inventory, which he could take out when he wanted to sleep, since he knew that sleeping in an enclosed space would be more comfortable. He also planned to purchase a bathtub so he could take a bath inside the dungeon using his mana water.
Anton made a final check on his Ladder Barbarian to see how much experience he earned on the floor. He even avoided leveling up his character while he was moving in the dungeon even though he could do so while he was on top of the dire bear, while his other summons kill monsters, just to learn the total experience points but looking at his experience bar, his conclusion was the experience points earned were still negligible, so the next day, he planned to level up his barbarian while moving through the dungeon.
When Anton woke up, his browser clock informed him that it was only three in the morning, but since he had nothing to do, he decided to continue traversing the dungeon, so he could complete it that day. After a quick breakfast, he moved on.
He was still on top of his dire bear while all of his summons moved forward to tackle the traps and monsters in the dungeon. If any of the adventurers saw how he delved into the dungeon, they would have screamed to the heavens that it was unfair. Dungeon delving was supposed to be an exhausting adventure through a danger-filled place, but instead, Anton almost looked like he was on vacation exploring a safe tourist spot.
While moving through the floor filled with lethal traps and scary monsters, Anton was leveling up his ladder barbarian. After several hours, he heard a bell-like sound from the dungeon portal key that all of the monsters on the floor were vanquished.
When Anton checked the time, it was eleven in the morning. Before leaving the floor, he decided to count his loot.
He earned a total of twelve medium mana stones and one high-level mana stone. The body parts that he managed to retrieve from the monster would allow him to complete around more than twelve gold-level quests.
His ladder barbarian leveled up to level ten. That meant that his hours inside the twentieth level of the dungeon of Balathar were incredibly fruitful.
The only thing Anton wondered was why he didn’t encounter any treasure chests. According to Tobias, high-level dungeons would spawn them, and the content would be the belongings of the adventurers who perished in the dungeon.
Anton cleaned himself using his Cleaning spell even though he wasn’t dirty since he hardly moved on top of his dire bear, but he wanted to be presentable when he exited the dungeon. He dismissed all of his summons and summoned the portal that would lead him outside the dungeon.
Once he was outside, Anton saw that there were still a few adventurer groups loitering around the dungeon entrance, but all of them ignored him after looking at him once or twice.
He decided to go to the Adventurer Guild building to let them handle selling his loot, even though Flint told him that it would be best if he sold his loot himself, since the guild would take five percent of the total amount of the sold items as their charge for letting them do the work. Even though five percent was a steep price, Anton just didn’t have the energy to handle selling the mana stones himself.
At first, Anton planned to keep some of the mana stones for research, but decided to sell them all since he needed funds to purchase a house in Ormunda. His main purpose in acquiring a permanent place was for his father and sister to reach him easily. Besides, based on his experience, it would be difficult for him to gather mana stones from the dungeon.
When he entered the guild building, he approached one of the front desk ladies and requested assistance in one of the private booths. Tobias informed him of this practice, especially if he was willing to pay the charges, but Anton thought that the commission that the guild would get from selling his mana stones would probably cover that.
The front desk lady gave him a key to one of the privacy booth located inside the guild building and told him that an assistant would arrive soon.
Anton entered the privacy booth indicated by the key, retrieved a Frozen Orb air conditioner from his inventory, activated it, and comfortably waited for the guild staff that would assist him.
After waiting for fifteen minutes, a guild staff still had not arrived, and since he was feeling a little peckish, Anton decided to eat. He retrieved some food from his inventory and started eating. When he was almost finished, he heard a knock on the door, and a beautiful elven woman entered.
Anton starred awkwardly at the lady while he was about to take a bite of the remaining food form his plate.
