Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 25: Betrayal

[Floor 14 has been cleared!]

It had already been three hours since they entered the dungeon, and they were clearing floors without any breaks.

Zach looked at Aurora from the corner of his eyes and uttered, “Don’t tell me you are tired already.”

“I am not. Let’s go to the next floor.”

“It’s the boss floor, huh?”

“Orc king,” Aurora nodded.

Floor 11- 15 had Orc as the monsters.

As the difficulty of the floors was getting higher, more monsters were spawning.

Floor 11 had 10 low-rank Orcs. 80 EXP each.

Floor 12 had 20 mid-rank Orcs. 100 EXP each.

Floor 13 had 30 high-rank Orcs. 120 EXP each.

Floor 14 had 50 Supreme Orcs. 150 EXP each.

Floor 15 was supposed to have 50 Supreme Orcs and 5 Orc kings.

Zach had leveled up by one, and he had increased his stats using accessible points.

Aurora and Zach’s kill count was the same as they had killed the same amount of monsters. At first, Zach was surprised after seeing Aurora’s sword skill. Aurora’s sword skills were swift and perfect, almost as though she had mastered it. Zach, however, had stopped practicing everything after his father’s death. His skill and talents had become rusty, but God’s Impact was now challenging him to hone his skills again.

Both Zach and Aurora were far from their true potential, and neither of them had gone all out yet.

As soon as they entered the 15th floor, 50 supreme orcs and 5 Orc kings spawned.

Zach and Aurora glanced at each other from the corners of their eyes and nodded at each other.

They both dashed at the monsters in the opposite direction. Aurora went to the left, and Zach went to the right.

Zach’s stats were still lower than Aurora’s, and she was better than Zach in everything except for one. Zach’s perception ability allowed him to think ten times faster than everyone else.

He wasn’t aware where or when he got this ability, but when he checked his stats menu a while ago, he saw that he had this ability. Even the description and the information provided by the ability was minimal and didn’t provide anything. Later Zach found out that the ability was the second benefit of Aria’s blessing.

Even without this ability, Zach could perceive things fine, but it became much better after this ability. It was so powerful that Zach could easily predict the next move and attack of the low-ranking monsters.

Aurora cleaved 10 Orcs at once while Zach slashed through 5. Then, they cut down 20 more supreme Orcs.

‘This is bad. If I keep going like this, I won’t reach level 10 even when I clear the 34th floor.’ Zach thought as he slashed a few more orcs.

‘I never thought Aurora would be able to keep up with me. I thought she was at a high level because she used her maids to level up. But it seems I was wrong. She is truly talented.’

Zach looked at Aurora and smirked as he thought of a plan. ‘Forgive me for this, but I need to do what it takes to level up.’

Aurora was busy killing the Orcs. She was so focused on them that she forgot that she was defenseless to Zach. She trusted Zach and thought of him as a companion, but it wasn’t the same with Zach.

If Zach were to stab Aurora from behind, she would die.

‘Don’t hold a grudge against me.’ Zach gripped his sword tight and dashed at Aurora. He ran past Aurora and went straight for the Orc kings.

He wanted to use his Devourer’s touch skill, but for that, he needed to have direct contact with the enemy. If the enemies were wearing armor or a suit of protection spell, then the skill wouldn’t work. Similarly, if Zach touched the enemy with a sword, the skill wouldn’t work. He needed to touch the enemy’s skin with his bare hands to activate the skill.

The Orc kings were wearing full body armor, and the only uncovered part of their body was their joints so they could move freely.

Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem, but the size of the Orc King was two times bigger than a normal adult human.

But Zach had a plan where he could expose their skin. He threw his sword at the first orc king’s neck and dashed at the second orc king standing beside it.

Now that he didn’t have any weapon equipped, his ATK was increased by 500. Combined with his strength and agility, Zach could easily make them trip.

Zach punched the Orc King, and it tumbled on the third orc king. Then, Zach plucked out his sword from the first Orc king’s neck and plunged it into the fourth orc king’s leg.

He used his Devourer’s touch skill on the first three orc kings and dashed to the fifth orc king. He conjured the dagger made from Aria’s feather and made a cut on the fifth orc king’s hand.

The fifth Orc king’s HP started decreasing rapidly. He then used the Devourer’s touch skill on the fourth orc king and grabbed his sword. Then, he used DT on the fifth orc king.

Everything happened in a mere 3 seconds, and Aurora was not only surprised, but she was scared of Zach after seeing that.

Each orc king had 10000 HP, and Zach used DT skill on all of them. However, he had used the dagger on the fifth Orc that dealt 30 HP DMG in three seconds, which was useless.

The cursed dagger’s ability was only useful in long fights where the DMG would be passive.

Zach dealt 49970 HP DMG in three seconds and barely missed to finish his quest about dealing 30000 HP DMG within one second. 500MP was consumed, leaving Zach with only 90 MP left.

[Leveled Up!]

[Leveled Up!]

[Congratulations! You have received 100 accessible points!]

Zach glanced around and saw five orcs had left, but he let Aurora deal with them. In the meantime, he assigned the points to his stats.

His current stats were:

Level 9.

HP- 3500/3500

ATK- 173.

Physical Strength- 173.

Mental Strength- 786

Soul Strength- 0

Physical DEF- 150.

Mental DEF- 712

Soul DEF- 0

AGILITY- 139.

MP- 90/∞

EXP- 6800/20000 (to level up.)

Floor 15 was supposed to be cleared in 30 minutes, while Zach and Aurora cleared it in less than 30 seconds.
