"If everything goes as per the plan, I should be able to subdue three more seven kings"
Simon muttered to himself. His eyes scanned the window screen which depicted a black swarm invading his dungeon through the Phased Floor which he created on the harpies territory.
"Master, all preparations are completed, they will regret attacking the dungeon"
Bea spoke from the side. She poured him a nice tea as she intermittently glanced at the window screen. Of course, as an administrator, she has the privilege to open her own window screen to spy on the invaders.
Nonetheless, she did not do so and instead chose to observe from her master's window.
About her antics, Simon couldn't be bothered and allowed her to simply do as she wanted. Other than her, there was also Irene, Cecilia, Coleus, Jarred, Maya, Prime and basically all the people who he trusted and had played an important role in the dungeon management, were in the room observing the intruders.
"Given what a single black ogre and the forces he led previously was able to do to the 80th floor, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it won't take them much time to find the entrance to the next floor. This time they also brought numbers, I will say the 80th floor would only be able to stall the intruders for half an hour" Irene spoke, her voice calm and relaxed.
It was not only her, each and everyone present in the room, had an unwinded expression as they looked at the invaders on the 80th without a trace of any anxiety. This wasn't the first time, the dungeon was facing an external enemy who was trying to capture their dungeon.
In fact, ever since the dungeon emerged and they took habitat in this place, the dungeon was in constant danger of getting destroyed and surrounded by enemies. One good example would be the adventurers of the tower town.
However, despite all that, despite being always on the receiving side and being besieged, the dungeon stood strong and repelled all enemies and dangers.
As such, the scene playing right now has become nothing but a common occurrence in the dungeon. There was no reason for them to be especially worried. The reason why they were all gathered here was because they wanted to see the result of their efforts that they had put in restructuring and reshaping the elements of the dungeon floors.
"The monsters on the 80th floor are just blaze hounds with only a few pack leaders. The real show would start once they start descending"
The one to speak was Fey. As one of the [Helpers] who was assigned to the dungeon management role, she was responsible for managing the floors of the dungeon and making sure they were properly functioning. In that area, she even led her own team.
"Hehe, I can't wait to see my precious mutated monsters to show what they are capable of"
Simon clapped, causing everyone to snap out of their daze. It was just as he said, while they were talking about the contributions, the invaders had already stepped into the 81st floor.
Much like the many other floors of the dungeon, the 81st floor till the 84th floor was a vast wildland filled with all kinds of floras and faunas. The ceiling was high, dense amount of mystical energy pervaded the land and the place was surrounded by a dark dreary aura.
However, unlike the other floors of the dungeon, the 81st to the 84th floors were lower floors. As such, to stand up to the standards of the lower floors, the difficulty of the areas, trickiness of the traps, dangers, monsters, rewards and risk everything was dozens of times greater than what was on the upper floors.
The monsters here, even the weakest were all above level 350 not to mention the pack leaders, deserters, or the lone hunters, and adding in their high numbers.
Starting from the lower floors, the dungeon sheds all concept of specified floors and becomes diversified. That is to say, starting from the lower floors, you can expect to meet any or all kinds of monsters that usually do not even inhabit that floor unlike the upper floors.
The possibility of abnormality drastically increases where it wouldn't be strange to happen anything.
All of this and there is the possibility of encountering high ranking magical traps with unique effects. Not to mention all of the floors were afflicted with [Affluences].
Now that dungeon Laplace has become [B] ranking dungeon, the total number of floors that can be afflicted with [Affluence] has increased along with another feature that recently opened up.
Given that the lower floors were completely restructured for the seven kings' attack and future adventurers, it has become more dangerous than ever before. As could be seen from the scene depicted on the window screen in front of him.
As soon as the invaders entered the 81st floor, they got instantly embroiled in a fierce battle with the monsters on that floor. Given the monster's level, the many abilities, traps and mechanisms that got activated along with the affliction that was imposed on them, the invaders were having quite some trouble.
That said, these invaders were not just any invaders but some of the powerful clans of the Ghastly Winding Forest, led by the Seven Kings themselves. They possessed many talented and high level warriors and besides, their number was just too vast and could easily outnumber the monsters themselves.
Although it took longer than what it took to clear the 80th floor— a little more than two hours, it was nonetheless an absolute victory for the invaders.
The subsequent floors, Floor 82nd took three hours to clear and 83rd and 84th floors took even more.
It needs to be mentioned that floor 84th being one of the checkpoint floors, took longer than any other floors— taking the invaders more than eight hours to clear.
It was due to the many abnormalities that were placed on the floors such as the floor design which was meant to disarray the invaders, hidden arrays that disoriented one skills and magic, mutated monsters that defied the logic, traps that separated everyone and all such things.
