\'Now then… let\'s begin, shall we?\' I spoke with a smile forming on my face.

I moved towards it one step at a time as I saw the strange green bugs flying all around the place emerging from its body. They were fast, fast enough to fly around even with all my abilities activated, but…

[Eyes of the Time Keeper]

\'When will they attack me?\'

[8 Seconds]

I still had a few things up my sleeve here.

[Inspect!]

[Zombified Armoth]

[Bugs that live feeding upon Sand Trolls. After Zombification, their previous power of poison and curses evolved into the Power of Decay. Be careful of their stings. Once it gets into your body, there is no escaping it.]

I waited for the countdown to reach 4 seconds and then activated my [Eyes of the Time Keeper(Foresight)] to see where the attack would be coming from. It was from the left, as one of the bugs was about to sting me from the left and another followed from the right.

Not minding much, I started counting down time and when it reached 1 second; I saw those bugs almost reached me from both sides.

-BOOM!!!

-BOOOM!!!

[Dungeon Points Received +60]

[Dungeon Points Received +60]

\'Hmmm, so each of those bugs is as strong as Lesser C-Grade Zombies?\' I pondered before proceeding to kill more of them.

-BOOM!

-BOOM!!

-BOOOM!!

Killed 3 more, then decided to see how many more of them were present there. Looking around, it seems like there were about a dozen or two flying in the air.

\'Based on their flying pattern… seems like they could share sense or something,\' I thought as I saw them reacting even before I could make a move. While they could have some individual ability related to it but as far as I know about bugs…

\'Most of them can interact with each other through pheromones,\' I thought before

-BOOM!

-BOOOM!!

-BOOOM!!!

"Whoa!" I jumped back as I realized that I had reached too close to that Zombie Sand Troll. Touching it now won\'t be really a good idea… let\'s deal with all the bugs first.

-BOOM!

-BOOOM!!

.

.

"Hmmm… is that…" I pondered before

[Inspect!]

[Zombified King Armoth!]

[Stronger than your average Armoths. This guy possesses faster mobility and higher decay power. While it is just a powerful version of Armoths, there is one difference you should be careful with. Its sting can release minute spores in the air that will immobilize the target.]

I saw the description and sighed before taking a few steps back and

[Eyes of the Time Keeper (Foresight)]

I saw the places where I would be in its target area and would be rendered immobile. Switching my ability off and on again, I tried from a different place, but even now the result was still the same.

After trying a couple of more times, I pondered before an idea came into my mind.

Not wasting any time, I took a proper stance and…

-Whoosh!

Threw my bat at an insane speed at that bug…

Though… I missed it…

The King Armoth was a bit too fast for it…

Finding its chance, I saw it flying towards me at a rapid speed and once it reached close enough to me..

A smile escaped from the corner of my lips as I spoke

[Return!]

My bat returned to my hand and…

-BOOOM!!!!!

[Dungeon Points Received +66]

"Now that is out of the way," I muttered as I looked at the dead King Armoth, before turning to the Zombie Sand Troll who was trying to come to me at its ever so slow speed.

One step at a time, I moved close to it and

-BOOOM!!!!

I hit it as fast as I could, but…

[HP : 999,999,999,123/1,000,000,000,000]

While the damage itself wasn\'t much, there was indeed enough to cause bleeding with that much. Its health was going down at a rate of 1HP per second.

Smiling, I hit the same spot again…

-BOOM!!!

-BOOOM!!!

-BOOOM!!

-BOOOM!!!

.

.

.

After hundreds of strike at the same spot, I finally saw a visible change in its HP

[HP: 999,999,123,248/1,000,000,000,000]

Now it was bleeding at the rate of 10000 HP per second…

Taking a deep breath, once again I maintained a bit of distance from it and…

-BOOM!

-BOOOM!

-BOOOM!

-BOOM!!

.

.

This time I didn\'t count how much I was hitting it, but just kept going for a while…

After an unknown amount of time… I decided to check its HP points once again…

[HP: 923,239,234,294/1,000,000,000,000]

\'Hmmm…. Its health is going down at the rate of 10,000,000 per second now. Though.. It should have been less than this… maybe?\' I thought about it before putting it at the back of my mind and kept going on and on…

-BOOOM!!!

-BOOOM!!!

-BOOOOM!!!!

-BOOOM!!!

-BOOOM!!

.

.

.

[HP: 845,241,199,093/1,000,000,000,000]

.

.

.

[HP: 456,241,199,092/1,000,000,000,000]

.

.

.

[HP: 102,083,928,103/1,000,000,000,000]

.

.

[HP: 12,034,244,111/1,000,000,000,000]

.

[HP: 139,234,999/1,000,000,000,000]

.

.

.

[HP: 12,234,133/1,000,000,000,000]

And then in front of me, that guy succumbed to its injuries. Before I received the message.

[Dungeon Points Received +17500]

[Dungeon Points Multiples by 3]

[Dungeon Points Received +52500]

\'That\'s a lot!\'

A joyful expression formed on my face as I looked at the amount of points I received before a few strings of messages followed

[Floor 56 Cleared!]

[Extra Time Left: 61240 seconds!]

[Extra time will be added to the next Floor!]

[Grade for Floor 56: SSSS]

[All Floor clear rewards will be calculated in the end!]

[Dungeon Shop Reset!]

"Huh? SSSS Grade?! That\'s the first one…" I mumbled in surprise as I looked at the Grading of this Floor.

Was it because it was more of an impossible challenge under normal conditions? Maybe… I don\'t know… it wasn\'t that hard… just time taking…

I then turned off my abilities and turned to Erina, who was observing me with a blank expression. She observed me for a short while before trying to ask something, but she stopped in between as she just kept observing me.

"What?" I asked with a bit of curiosity, but she just kept looking at me before she turned at the place where the Sand Troll was vanishing. I too turned at it for a few moments before I asked again,

"Is there something wrong with it?"

"Something?" a word escaped her mouth as she looked at me with an indescribable face. It felt like she didn\'t know where to start…

"I don\'t… Where should I even begin with…?" her eyes were confused still as they shuffled between me and that point where the Zombie\'s body vanished from.

Moving towards her, I just patted her head slightly, making her look at me blankly as I asked,"I guess I shocked you a little too much, didn\'t I?"

She nodded at me without any words.

"Was it an impossible, unkillable being or something?" I asked again, understanding her confusion.

She nodded again as she looked at me.

"It\'s okay. I just found a weakness that I exploited." I spoke with a smile and she just looked at me without any change in her expression.

"Let\'s go to the next Floor. We need to finish this dungeon, don\'t we?" I asked, and she nodded once again blankly as she followed behind me.

\'Now then… let\'s see what the [Dungeon Shop] has to offer,\' I smiled from ear to ear as I kept walking towards the next Floor.
