Second World

Jack noticed Warpath's team's difficulty in handling the monsters on this floor, so he summoned Therras and had it guard the rear. Being a mythical grade, Therras took a lot of pressure off Warpath's team.

"We don't need help," Warpath uttered.

"We do!" Dasher and the others exclaimed.

"Just try to keep up," Jack said. "I want to finish this floor as fast as possible."

'So, it's true. They truly plan to go to the deeper floor,'' Dasher and the others thought.

Although it took longer, they reached the boss' room eventually. A larger gold bull boss awaited them inside the room. It was level 65 rare elite.

Jack had no problem fighting this boss by himself, but he knew someone might get offended again. So, he said, "Okay. Let's deal with it together. I will engage and take its attention. You all do as you see fit but prioritize safety."

Jack ran forward with Therras. Jet summoned his Crimson-maned Lion, and surprisingly, a second pet. A griffin with silver feathers, it was also a rare elite grade.

"You have two pets?" Jack asked in astonishment.

"The first skill of his Royal Beast Lord is the ability to tame a second medium-sized pet," Peniel explained.

"Hehe, aren't you jealous?" Jet said with a proud grin.

"Peniel, can my beast command steal an ally's pet?" Jack asked.

"Don't go wasting a skill just for pointless stuff!" Peniel scolded.

But Jack couldn't just let Jet gloat over him like this, so he used his Beast Monarch's first skill, gigantify pet. His Therras increased to twice its normal size, making him a large-size monster, towering over Jet's two pets.

"Eat that, sucker!" Jack said to Jet.

"Deal with the boss seriously!" Peniel slapped Jack's head.

But they didn't need to deal with the boss seriously. Even Therras alone without the gigantify pet was already stronger than the boss. It was taken down in no time. Warpath's team couldn't believe the ease and speed the boss was defeated.

The hole to the next ground appeared. As before, Jack hogged the mana cores and left the remaining for the others. He then jumped into the hole.

Arriving on the fourteenth floor, he and Therras dealt with the nearby monsters while waiting for the others. The monsters on this floor were around levels 65 to 70. Most of them were special elites and some were rare elites. This place was more his leveling zone.

He took out his king badge and thought about summoning his royal agents to share the exp, but Peniel said to him, "You can't summon them. This place is cut off from the outside."

"This means I also cannot summon Arlcard?" Jack asked.

"You can't," Peniel confirmed.

'A pity,' Jack thought. If he could summon Arlcard and his royal agents, he might even finish the next floor and go to the sixteenth floor. In the current situation, the boss on this floor might be the last one he could defeat. Meaning the fifteenth floor would be the lowest floor he could farm for exp for now.

The others showed up soon. They did like before, they secured the perimeter and dealt with monsters that came while Jack used his incorporeal state to check the layout of this floor. This time, Therras and Jet's two pets also joined the security detail.

After a few minutes, Jack stood up and they headed out.

They took even longer to get to the boss' room because the minotaurs on this floor were tougher. Warpath's team was basically useless except for Warpath, and he was also having difficulty. Only Jack and Jet could still fight the minotaurs with ease.

When they entered the boss' room, the gold bull boss was the size of a large monster. It was a level 70 mythical boss.

"Now, do you feel stupid for having wasted your big skills earlier?" Peniel asked.

"I still have many trump cards!" Jack exclaimed and transformed into supreme dragon form. "Therras, let's go. The others, stay back!"

This time, Jack was telling them to stay back out of concern. He used Combination Assault. He and Therras joined and turned into a speeding meteor. The gold bull boss was charging at them. Its horned head collided with Jack and Therras' combination assault. Both sides were thrown back.

Warpath refused to stay back, but he also didn't approach the boss blindly. He circled to the bull's back and waited for an opportunity. He looked to the opposite side and saw The Man do the same.

Jet and his two pets joined Jack in a direct clash. He was the only player who could match Jack in terms of survivability against this mythical grade.

Bowler and Flowerrain supported them with their spells while Dasher readied his shield to protect this rear group in case the boss came over, but he didn't think his shield would do any good if the boss truly came.

Bangstick was a bard, so he was still useful even if he couldn't join the fight. He played music that enhanced everyone's stats. Suckit was a technocraft. He couldn't do anything himself but he had a techno golem which he sent to give Jack a little aid.

All the skills the gold bull bosses from previous floors had exhibited had always been close-ranged skills. Hence, those who stayed at the back were not worried. This time, the gold bull displayed a different skill. It stomped its feet to the ground and the ground rocked.

The ground became water-like and created a tidal wave that rushed forward. The tidal wave knocked Jet's two pets and Suckit's techno golem aside. It then advanced to where the back-row team was.

This back-row team immediately scattered. It's a good thing the tidal wave was not too fast so everyone was already gone by the time it arrived.

However, the gold bull had prepared a follow-up attack. Its two horns shone as it charged forward. Jack was caught unprepared because he was too close and the bull's charge happened abruptly. He couldn't dodge but he activated Gold Scale Armor before the charge hit.

A loud clang was heard and Jack was smashed to the side. He suffered damage but he was not in danger.

The ones in danger were Flowerrain and Dasher who just escaped the tidal wave. After knocking Jack aside, the bull's charge continued and was currently heading for the two.
