Chapter 26

When people get into the second floor, they are greeted by a group of people fighting against a horde of Infernal Beast. One person is the one taking all the attention to herself, the other killing them by a dozen every second, and the last one constantly healing both of them.

Joshua creates an ice cyclone with a wave of his hand to kill a group of Infernal Beast in an instant and continue to look for the teleportation device.

"There it is!"

Joshua shouted and pointed at the teleportation device in the distance. Laudia and Rachel look at where he is pointing at and see the teleportation device themselves. They start to run toward the teleportation device at full speed.

Joshua creates another ice cyclone to kill the Infernal Beast coming at them from the back while Laudia and Rachel create a path for them. Slowly but surely, they manage to get to the teleportation device.

The Infernal Beast stops chasing them when they get closer to the teleportation device. They reach the safe zone. When they see the Infernal Beast cannot get them, they fall to the ground in exhaustion.

They have been fighting for two hours non-stop. Their body is full of injury, and they almost run out of potion as they consume the antidote like water. The Emerald Snake is the one doing the most damage to them. They can sneak around Joshua and his party before making a surprise attack.

Joshua is lucky to have a shield around his body to block the incoming bite from the Emerald Snake. Rachel and Laudia, on the other hand, are not so lucky. They get a multiple bite wound, and some of them will leave a mark on their body even when Rachel already heals it.

"Should we get to the third floor?" Joshua asks his teammate, who is panting on the ground, "I want to get out of this place quickly. I want to take a hot bath now and sleep. That fight was really tiring."

Rachel nods her head, agreeing with Joshua, before saying.

"Aye. Let's get back. My mana is almost depleted."

"Yeah. Let's get out of here."

Laudia gets up from the ground and walks toward the teleportation device, followed by Joshua and Rachel. A few seconds later, their mana has been registered in the teleportation device, and a few seconds later, they arrive on the third floor.

"What the fuck is this?!"

Laudia shouts when she sees the third floor. The third floor is a mountainous area. They can see three massive mountains in front of them, and the mountain has a dense forest on it.

"I won't add mountain climbing to my bucket list. Fuck this. Let's get back to Jakarta. I'm done."

After saying that, Laudia crushed the return stone and got teleported away from the tower. Joshua looks at Rachel before saying.

"Why does she get that mad?"

"She hates mountains. She got her first unremovable wound from hunting in the mountains when she was a teenager. Since then, she will not touch any mountain unless she is forced to."

"I see. Trauma, huh?"

"Yup. Anyway, we should get out of here."

Joshua nods his head and takes out the return stone before crushing it. A second later, he and Rachel arrive on the first floor, near the exit gate.

"Finally, come on. We need to book a flight out of this place."

Renaldi, the guild leader of the Kalimantan branch, looks at the report he got from his employee.

"Hmmm, the Wild Hunt, huh?" Renaldi continued to read the report and put down the glass of brandy. "They managed to get into the third floor before getting out of the tower. Hmmm, Eka should tell me that he has an interesting party on his payroll."

Renaldi takes another report on the table and reads it. After reading it for a few seconds, he frowned at what he had read. It was a report about how one woman changed the entire floor field. It is lucky that the woman is dead. If she were alive, she would be fined a massive amount of money.

Changing a floor field can make hunting harder. Just like how the Wild Hunt needs to fight through a horde of Infernal Beast, that is what will happen if the field changes because someone is too stupid to be careful in their hunt.

Renaldi decided to write a reward letter for the Wild Hunt party with a sigh. He needs to reward them for opening the third floor for the other Blessed One, killing many Infernal Beast on the second floor, and letting his employee have an easier time exploring the area.

"Fifty million should be enough for their effort getting to the third floor and another fifty for killing the Infernal Beast. Hmmmm, I will also add a five percent bonus for their Energy Core if they decide to sell them to us."

After writing them all, Renaldi calls one of his secretaries and orders them to be given to the guild office near the tower.

"I wonder if Eka is willing to lend me the Wild Hunt party."

Speaking of the Wild Hunt party, Joshua is currently lying down on his bed before suddenly he feels something coming from inside his body. He is familiar with this feeling. It was the feeling when he first got his power.

No. His authority is not his power. His real power is what lets him get his authority from the divine being, and how does he get those? By defeating them. Joshua sits down on the bed and starts to meditate.

He can feel something has awakened inside of him and is waiting for him to use it. Joshua decided to explore deeper into his consciousness and meet a floating ball of light with a deep breath.

He gets closer to the ball of light and then touches it.

When he touches the ball of light, his entire vision is engulfed in white light. A second later, he is standing in the middle of a grassland.
