Chapter 1624  Hell Difficulty 1

Herman's breathing started to get rough. He had forgotten how many waves he had fought. The battle started to take a toll on his body. And this was not the end, there would be another monster horde in five minutes.

He looked around and found the same skeleton coming to their side. This specific skeleton would come after the battle and clean out the corpses. He did not know what the skeleton did, but the monster's corpses were gone a minute after the battle was over.

"Are you tired?" The familiar voice entered his ear.

Herman looked toward the voice. The faceless summon, wearing a thick jacket and goggles, approached him. His name was Radiance and had become much friendlier toward them compared to the knight who stood in the front as vanguard.

"A little," Herman nodded his head.

"What about if you and your team take a little rest? Your team looks exhausted," Radiance pointed at Herman's subordinates who lied down among the monster's dead bodies.

Aside from him, only three people were still standing on their feet, "How many monster waves have we fought?"

"Forty-seven waves, and forty-eighth next. We are halfway there, so can you take a rest and leave the next wave to us?" Radiance sounded persuasive.

"We can still fight!" Henry, the highest-ranked General from The United Sovereign did not want to lose with Viona and Zhang Mengyao. The two girls were assigned to their walls while the remaining three walls were taken care of by Tang Shaoyang's spirits and skeletons.

Viona and Zhang Mengyao had returned to their position after the wave was over, standing on the wall. The two did not look as tired as them.

"That's not the problem," Radiance shook his head, "Our side is always the last one to finish the wave, and My Master doesn't like how slow we are. Can you just stay at the wall and let us do the work? We can't go all out because we are afraid of hurting you guys."

Herman thought this one was friendly toward them unlike the knight, but what Radiance just said was kinda stung. He admitted that Tang Shaoyang was out of his league, but it still hurt when Radiance said it.

He came closer to Radiance and asked in a whisper as he looked at the back of Jovrick, "Is that the reason why the knight is not so friendly with us?"

Radiance looked at Jovrick, then he looked at Herman, nodding, "We can feel what Our Master feels, so yeah, he does not like you guys because he…" He was considerate enough not to finish his sentence. However, Herman already knew what Radiance wanted to say.

"Forty-seven waves should be enough for us. We need to preserve our energy for the next three floors," Herman agreed to take the sideline for the remaining waves.

"But…" Henry, who still had his fighting spirit, wanted to disagree. He still wanted to fight.

"Emperor Tang Shaoyang might finish the wave within an hour or two. We should preserve our stamina and mana for the next floor. With the current pace, we might clear the dungeon in one day."

Herman made an estimation that they might clear the dungeon within a week or two weeks at most. But his estimation was wrong since they were already half-way to the fourth floor. He checked the time, and they were already on the fourth floor. Unless the Demi-God had more than ten floors, they would be able to clear the dungeon within one day for sure with the current pace.

Admitting someone else was strong and seeing how strong the person they compared was a totally different feeling. When the forty-eighth wave came, Herman and his team along with Viona and Zhang Mengyao stayed on the wall. They watched how two individuals cleared out the wave in less than a minute.

Radiance froze the whole monster horde, and they did not do what the knight did. However, the frozen monsters broke apart and died. Herman smiled bitterly. It took them three hours to finish forty-seven waves. That was much faster than his estimation, but it looked like it would be much faster if they did not participate.

Radiance's words hurt even more now when he saw the truth. Looking at Radiance, waving his hand at them, he felt even more dejected. While he still put the Tang Empire above his kingdom, he thought they managed to cut the gap between them. But he realized now that they would not be able to cut the gap. As long as Tang Shaoyang was The Emperor, he felt like it was impossible to close the gap. Tang Shaoyang alone might be enough to face the whole United Sovereign. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They finished the fourth floor in one hour after they stepped out from the battlefield. From a few minutes interval between each wave to one minute until no more interval between each wave. In fact, the time between each wave slowed Tang Shaoyang from finishing the fourth floor.

They cleared four floors in seven hours, and they now entered the fifth floor. By this time, Herman gave Tang Shaoyang more freedom to clear the dungeon. Less than an hour for the fifth floor, and two hours for the sixth floor. Less than ten hours later, and they entered the seventh floor, the last floor of the Demi-God Dungeon.

On the seventh floor, they were teleported into a confined space because they were given a choice for the last floor. Herman stood in silence, looking at the screen in front of him. The dungeon gave him choices for the last floor difficulty. That was right, there was difficulty like a game for the last floor.

[Moderate] [Advance] [Extreme] [Hell]

Those were the choices for the last floor. If he had to make a decision, he would choose Advance. He was brave and confident enough in his people that they might be able to clear Advance difficulty with no casualty. It was because this was their first Demi-God Dungeon, and he did not want to take the risk. However, there was Tang Shaoyang with him, and he wanted to try Extreme.

"Let's choose [Hell] difficulty!" Of course, Tang Shaoyang wanted to try out the hardest difficulty.
