Chapter 625 Fighting Against A Huge Army Of Moles?!
?
-----
The monsters of the first floor of the previous dungeon were all Moles. Giant Golems as the sub bosses and then the Mole King was the Boss, I think… Later, we fought an Abyssal Ant General, or something, which was grossly overpowered for us back then, but we still managed to beat it down to a pulp. Well, mostly me, I ate it using my Unique Skill.
Therefore, as we saw the ground shaking, we saw them. A hundred, nasty-looking moles. They were not the cute Moles of my dungeon, but they looked seriously wrong. Their skin was dry and disgusting, they lacked hair, and had sharp horns, fangs, and grotesque claws. Their sizes were also around double the size of the other Mole Monsters, being around as big as a car each!
To make things worse, their bodies were overflowing with Auras made of Miasma everywhere, and the moment they spotted us, they started to conjure magic. Giant boulders started being conjured, falling towards us from the skies like meteors. It didn't made it any better that they were covered on Miasma to enchant their destructive prowess.
"GRUOOH!"
CLASH!
One of them immediately reached us in an instant, clashing over the floor right before us and shaking the earth. Cracks began to appear across the ground as the floor was just about the crumble! At the same time, the boulders they sent flying started falling from the sky, releasing explosions of darkness and miasma everywhere!
And amidst the chaos, I took a look at its status.

[Aberrant Mutant Giant Death Mole: Lv67] [Rank: B+] [Status: Hungry, Berserk]
A monstrous mole from the first floors of the Dungeon. It appears in groups of almost a hundred, and they are vicious creatures capable of easily digging underground, conjure Earth Magic of high level, and provoke powerful and devastating earthquakes with their body size and weight.
They lack eyesight but use their star-shaped noses to guide themselves even when not being underground. Their enormous claws are not only able to wonderfully dig underground but can also slice apart their prey quite easily.
Now mutated by the Dungeon's Miasma, they have become aberrant and overly aggressive. They are berserk and hungrily furious. Their powerful magic now enchanted with miasma. Their offensive stats have become greater and more dangerous.
Skills: [High Speed Digging] [Deadly Miasmic Claws] [Super Spinning Attack] [Earthquake] [Seismic Wave] [Pitfall] [Miasmic Slashing Attack] [Miasmic Meteor] [Shadow Sneak] […]

Yep, I remember the other guys were only B- Rank, but these guys are as high as B+! That's a whole other level, in fact, two whole stages above the B-, they're obviously several times stronger than the Moles we could easily get rid of back then.
"These guys again, huh?" Lucifer sighed. "Well, I better start. I'll cover the frontlines!"
FLUOOOSH!
Lucifer quickly transformed into his Dragon Form, as his claws devastated his surroundings, sweeping through the dozens of Moles that began attacking him. Their bodies were all sliced apart with ease.
"We are not as weak as before now, we've grown stronger thanks to conquering two more dungeons now!" Lucifer roared. "RAAAAH!"
SLAAAASH!
His tail, which had a spear-like tip swung rapidly, slicing through another dozen moles surging from the underground, tearing them apart mercilessly.
"GRYYYAAAGGGH…!"
The screams of countless moles echoed across the Barren Wastelands, not only was Lucifer devastating them, but we were also all fighting against this incoming flood of EXP.
"Preserve your energy if possible!" Brunhild commanded. "Fight with basic physical attacks, dodge the magic blows, don't let these monsters drain away your stamina!"
"Alright, you heard her boys!" Helga commanded the other dwarves, their golems hands shaped into sharp blades and axes, some even had spiraling drills.
The moles were strong but they were incapable of piercing through the golem's hard outer body, and they were easily torn apart by their blows. And this was merely normal attacks. I guess B Ranked monsters are no longer too much of a threat for us, although that usually changes depending in the race of the monster, even amongst the same ranked monsters, some can also be stronger than others.
"I mostly attack using magic, but sure, let's do something different for once." I smiled, quickly raising my sword and my axe with both hands, they shone with a black and red aura, overflowing the surroundings and spreading darkness.
FLAAAASH!
I used my normal physical abilities to speed through the battlefield, gently slicing part the Moles with the blade and the battle axe alone.
SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
Several simple attacks was what it took to defeat these little monsters. Horizontal Slashes covered more ground while Vertical Slashes were stronger but could only eliminate a monster per attack most of the time.
I combined both simple attacks, without using any specific technique or skill. Vertical Slashes generated shockwaves of slicing black energy, slicing apart a dozen moles per hit, while the Horizontal Slashes were stronger, easily overpowering the Larger Moles that often appeared, having three times the size of the normal ones and larger defenses, with bony plates protecting their bodies.
CRAAAASHHH!!!
TRUUUM!!!
The combined attack of my sword and my axe reached the Armored Moles, as I called them, as they began dropping over the floor one by one, devastated by my sheer physical attack boosted thanks to my weapons and the accessories I had.
Like that, the rest of our party didn't wasted energy, using simply physical blows to devasted this first wave of monsters while we advanced across the Wastelands. EXP was flooding rapidly into my soul, however.
Ding!
[You and your Party have defeated [Aberrant Mutant Giant Death Mole (Rank: B+)] x93!]
[You and your Party have defeated [Aberrant Mutant Giant Armored Death Mole (Rank: B++)] x12!]
[You earned 1130000 EXP!]
What with that little EXP though? I thought I was going to get some more from them! Come on, I just need four more levels to Evolve… I've noticed that monsters have begun giving me less and less EXP, and if I didn't had certain Skills multiplying the earned EXP, they would give even less too…
