Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Soul Apples

Victor cursed as he hurried toward the fifth-floor stairway. He didn’t intend to kill Tristan, he just wanted to castrate him!

At first, he wanted Tristan to get a little excited so that the cutting would be swift. Victor, who disguised as a horned demon, threatened the terrified Tristan and then asked him about his thoughts on the girls he was with… He promised that he would let him go if he told the truth!

That bastard's words were so twisted that Victor couldn’t help but snap and shatter his entire crotch into oblivion!a

Damn it, Tristan must have also been affected by the misfortune fate. It seemed to be more dangerous than he had first anticipated!

Victor was worried about Lily and the girls. They might be in some real danger!

…

Lily had already been in the dungeon for 4 hours.

When she first entered here, she found herself thrown into a huge exotic garden with strange plants and trees. She quickly surveyed her perimeter as she used her skills to hide her presence as per her young master’s instruction. She was to survey, and plan before anything!

After making sure that no enemies were in sight She carefully climbed a tall tree and began to map her surroundings.

This place was strange. It was as if a garden and a maze were merged together. It was full of trees and plants, yet it was indoors. She could easily see the high vaulted ceiling where giant hanging lanterns burnt, illuminating this entire space in the blue gloomy light.

Looking around she noticed other things, like how the trees that grew out of the gray dirt looked dead at first glance, but they were alive with purple and brown ominous-looking leaves. Some even bore some kind of black fruit that she didn’t dare to taste… Victor had warned her to not put anything unknown in her pretty mouth!

Still looking around she kept feeling that something was missing… She quickly knew what. There were no insects, and there weren't even any scents! It was as if the entire forest was frozen in time!

Other than some skeletons that sometimes wandered aimlessly, there were no living things. These skeletons seemed to hate the light here, and walked very sluggishly struggling and tripping over the tree roots.

Lily was watching one such skeleton when it suddenly lost its head to an arrow going through it and pinning it to a tree!

A group of unknown players soon appeared below her, totally oblivious to the beauty hiding in the shadows watching them.

They were dragging a chained group of other players whom she recognized as her classmates… The others seemed to be from the academy but probably belonged to another class. Two of them were dead and were being carried by the rest who were crying for their mommies.

She decided to not interfere and remain hidden as she watched. That group had more than 20 players who were armed and dangerous.

Lily frowned, wondering if she should follow them or not… After some pondering, she decided to follow as she had nothing better to do, but just as she began to do that, she noticed a certain mark on a nearby tree trunk. Victor taught those signs to the girls to use them in dungeons.

After checking it, Lily stopped and quickly changed planes, then started heading at a different angle heading in the direction the mark was indicating!… It was a distress mark! Lily quickly found a second mark then a third… The marks were getting sloppier as she followed their trail. She kept jumping from one tree to the next while remaining hidden. This place might be more dangerous than she had first anticipated.

30 Minutes later she reached the end of the trail, where she found a girl who was curling up hiding inside an elevated hollowed tree trunk covered in her own blood. Mina!

Hearing the sound of someone landing beside her, Mina who was vigilant, quickly raised a dagger defensively.

“Lily!”

Seeing it was Lily, Mina smiled and then completely relaxed. She dropped her weapon as she lost consciousness. She was badly hurt and could only remain awake until now by sheer willpower.

Why didn’t she take a healing pill? Lily wondered, then realized that Mina not only didn’t have her ring, but she was also missing her entire left arm! SH*T!

Lily gasped as she quickly took a high-grade healing pill and fed it to Mina then, after placing a couple of isolation talismans around, she began to bandage the latter’s wounds.

She was now really angry… beyond angry! She considered the twins her sisters after all!

"Whoever did this shall be cut into pieces and then fed to the dogs!" she sentenced them!

…

When Victor landed on the fifth floor, he was shocked by this place! Not because of the exotic atmosphere, but because he recognized the fruits on a few of the trees.

Miracle Apples were one of the most addictive substances in the world!

This thing was as delicious as it was dangerous!

Once someone ate it, he would just be amazed by its taste, and feel like strange energy was making him stronger!

Too bad that after a few days he would start to desire to eat it again… At first, it would be manageable, but after eating a few more of those, he would come to desire it more than anything else in the world! He would be ready to even sell his wife and children for another bite…

“So that’s where those things were brought from!” Victor pondered. In his past life, he never heard of this dungeon, but he had seen the fruits, they were controlled by some shadow organizations that were later discovered to be minions of the Von Zwei family!

They used them to control many of the world's elites and politicians before the reckoning!

Although he didn’t try it himself, he heard that it does have some benefits like it increases metabolism and strengthens the body!

He wanted to get one back then, but he didn’t have the money to buy it. Those things sold for a lot!

Victor carefully took one and Inspected it.
