Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Netherworld Soul Devouring

Quietly, I activate the 'Absolute Concealment' skill and disappear into the surroundings.

Soon, I encounter a group of orcs, confirming that this is an Orc-type dungeon.

With the Abyssal Sword in my hand, I swiftly approach an orc from behind and swing my sword across its neck.

Blood spurts out, and the other orcs become aware of their surroundings. I murmur, "Netherworld soul devouring."

As I murmur, a blue flame engulfs the orcs, causing them some harm. Although their high rank lessens the impact, it buys me enough time to eliminate them all with my sword.

While I clear the area, the undead skeletons also eliminate all the monsters on the first floor.

Silence descends upon the first floor, and all the skeletons gather in one place. I join them, and Diablo reports, "Master, we have cleared all the monsters on this dungeon floor."

"Okay, let's prepare," I say and decide to proceed to the second floor.

Upon entering the second floor, I repeat the same process and eliminate the mob monsters.

Eventually, we reach the lair of the Boss monster, where a B- rank orc awaits.

I halt the skeletons and decide to face the B- rank orc myself.

Although my rank is low, my stat attributes are comparable to those of an early B-rank monster.

I stand there, my heart filled with anticipation and excitement.

The thought of battling an early B-rank monster sends adrenaline coursing through my veins. With a soft whisper, I activate my abilities: "Absolute Concealment" and "Undead Armor."

As if summoned by my words, a shroud of undead energy envelops my body, forming a protective armor.

I then decide to use the powerful 'Netherworld Soul Devouring' skill against the orc.

A brilliant blue flame ignites, showcasing the intensity of my mystical prowess.

With my abyssal sword in hand, I swiftly swing it towards the orc's vulnerable neck.

The sword possesses a unique ability to bypass defense and accumulate damage, ensuring a deadly impact.

However, to my surprise, the orc manages to intercept my attack with its own weapon, halting my strike midway.

Reacting swiftly, I change direction and deliver a forceful kick to the orc's temple.

The connection is satisfying as my heel connects with its target.

For a moment, I think I have gained the upper hand.

However, the orc quickly adjusts its position, displaying its resilience and defying my expectations.

In an enraged roar, it utters guttural sounds in its own monstrous language, demonstrating the depths of its fury.

Undeterred by its rage, I utilize the skills acquired through my rigorous chaos training.

This time, my efforts pay off as I aim for its eye socket, gouging out the orc's eye with precision using the 'Hand Combat Technique'.

The orc emits a withered shriek, indicating the pain and distress it is experiencing.

In the end, I defeat the orc and am soon teleported back to my room, greeted by a string of prompts.

[World System]

[Ding…]

[You have successfully cleared the 'Abyss tier' rank upgrade: C grade dungeon]

[Your rank is being upgraded...]

[Removing certain limit 1%... 67%... 100%]

A sudden surge of contrasting sensations engulfed my being, as if a blend of cool and hot energy intermingled within me.

Overwhelmed by this peculiar force, I found myself tumbling to the floor with a jolt.

In that very instant, slumber embraced me and rendered me unconscious.

The butler awoke from his slumber and completed his necessary morning tasks before leaving the room.

Upon exiting the room, he suddenly noticed a man standing at his door, which startled him momentarily.

He quickly regained his composure and said, "My apologies, you startled me. Why are you here at this hour?"

The skeleton, currently in human form, became embarrassed and scratched the tip of his ear.

He replied, "The young master asked me to inform you that he has gone outside for a rank upgrade."

"What! A rank upgrade already?" the butler exclaimed, surprised.

He thought to himself, "It hasn't even been a week, and he's already going for a rank upgrade."

The butler sighed and said, "I've grown accustomed to the young master's daily activities. If he returns, please inform me."

"Of course, butler," the skeleton replied.

"Alright, I'm heading to the office now," the butler said as he made his way to the industrial office.

....

6:10 a.m.

In the industrial office, Zhu Zhen, who had just woken up to her alarm, began her morning tasks.

Twenty minutes later, she had completed everything and was dressed for the office. She proceeded to inspect the industrial area.

Sometime later, the butler arrived at the industrial area and, upon seeing Zhu Zhen engrossed in her work, he sighed and muttered, "I don't know when the young master got so lucky, having both an S-rank player and a dedicated worker like Zhener. It does ease my burden."
