Undying Warlord

[One participant detected, Tier-1, Level 8. Difficulty will be adjusted!]

"So it is like that?" He mumbled while stepping into the Pagoda of Time.

The interior looked just like he had expected. There was not a single piece of modern furniture anywhere. On the contrary, everything looked rather ancient.

As he roamed through the ground floor of the Pagoda, Dilan couldn't see anything special, or so he thought.

At first, there were only a few monsters near the entrance, which he ignored to get a better understanding of the place he had entered voluntarily.

However, what Dilan didn't expect to encounter upon entering the Pagoda's large hall was that the interior looked several times larger than the size it should actually have.

"Is the space twisted, or is it similar to some storage device, where you can see the device but the interior is in an independent space?"

Of course, Dilan had no idea about the truth. He had practically no knowledge about space distortion, the magical things that were happening to Milarn, let alone what kind of miraculous places had been created due to the existence of Mana.

The Pagoda of Time was constructed like the Sun temple. Neither of them belonged to Milarn, and they had been brought over by someone, or something.

Dilan began to ignore the space distortion, or whatever increased the interior space of the Pagoda. He focused on his surroundings instead.

Several dozen Tier-1 monsters could be found walking through the Pagoda of Time.

All of them were bipedal and were also wielding weapons. However, they were roaming around in a group of five, astonishing Dilan slightly.

He saw some Goblins, some Kobolds, a bunch of Skeletons, Ghouls, and so on.

The living and the dead were together in one small place, not bothering to attack each other to get their hands on the other's Essence crystals.

Dilan couldn't help but be slightly confused at this sight but he still stepped forward while unsheathing the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

"None of you guys seem strong, so die quickly, will you?" Dilan had been excited to fight some powerful opponents.

However, the monsters in front of him were merely ordinary Tier-1 monsters. They might be around his level, potentially a few levels lower than him but that didn't matter, at all.

He brandished the serpent-form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade without bothering to engulf it in flames before slashing it through the room viciously.

The monsters had just taken note of him but before they could even dare to attack him, Dilan had already begun to butcher them.

Their average stats were around 15, so their strength was not even close to being high enough to fight Dilan head-on.

His strength might have decreased due to his weakened state but his Agility still exceeded 40.

With fast movements but a calm mind that was yearning for more excitement, he slaughtered the few dozen monsters around him.

It didn't take him long to achieve this and he would have been faster if he had wanted to.

However, Dilan simply advanced to the second floor by using the stairway to his right.

[First floor has been cleared successfully. Time required [4:39]. Excellent! A new record for the <Solo> Modi's first floor has been set.]

He raised his right eyebrow when he read this message but Dilan didn't say anything. He had reached the second floor and looked at the monsters that were walking through the second place as if it belonged to them.

'Same strength, higher number, I see.'

Brandishing the Blazing Serpentine Blade once again, Dilan enveloped it in flames.

Afterward, he used 15 Mana units to activate [Mana Slash] before he attacked the dozens of monsters with a more than 20-meter-long crescent-shaped Mana Slash, slashing horizontally.

In an instant, more than three dozen ordinary Tier-1 monsters were killed. Dilan finished off the remaining monsters with rapid speed before he passed through the second floor as well.

'I can pick up their Essence crystals later as setting up a better record should provide me with more Dungeon points...I guess.'

With that in mind, Dilan didn't halt in his tracks, and he rushed up the stairs to reach the third floor as quickly as possible.

[Second floor has been cleared successfully. Time required [1:09]. Grandiose! A new record for the <Solo> Modi's second floor has been set.]

Dilan nodded in satisfaction before rushing off once again. He didn't use [Mana Slash] this time because it used up too much mana, but that was not necessary either way.

The Blazing Serpentine Blade was already powerful enough to achieve everything he wanted to, at a rapid pace at that.

If not for his restricted stats and condition, Dilan would have been even faster. However, in the end, his speed was still terrifying as he crushed the 100+ opponents in no time.

[3:31] Grandiose!

Afterward, he entered the fourth floor.

150 Ordinary Tier-1 monsters were killed in no time, and Dilan gained another <Grandiose!> from a notification.

When he reached the fifth floor, the first Bronze Tier-1 monsters appeared.

However, their strength was still lower than his. Dilan defeated them in less than 10 minutes, ending the battle quickly.

Dilan lost track of time as he kept advancing through the floors of the Pagoda of Time.

At first, he had been sure that the Pagoda of Time would somehow be related to "Time", and that he would be stuck in this place for a specific duration in which he had to survive or something like that.

But the reality was a little bit different.

He didn't have to stay here longer than he wanted to. Rather, the time he needed to clear each floor was noted down and marked by the systematic behind the building.

Dilan was not sure what use this had or why a building that would reward him for rapidly conquering the floors existed in the first place.

According to him, it provided no benefit to the being that had brought this place to Shiron.

At least this was Dilan's assumption.

He was not sure what use it had for that being if he were to keep conquering the floors, kill thousands of monsters in a matter of hours, get his hands on the monster's Essence crystals and on the Dungeon points he was promised to be awarded.

After Dilan reached the 10th floor, the first Silver Tier-1 monsters appeared.

They were already much harder to defeat in higher numbers and had many Bronze Tier-1 monsters by their side which increased the difficulty of the task.

However, Dilan's strength was more than enough for him to defeat his opponents.

But instead of continuing to advance, he stopped all of a sudden as realization struck him.

"Is the Pagoda of Time gathering information on my combat style and strength in exchange for providing me with resources?!?"
