You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

Walter leaned on his giant axe, which was stained with thick green blood, and breathed heavily.

His body was covered in tiny wounds, which stung painfully.

Looking back, the road was littered with the remains of goblins and all sorts of bizarre monsters, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and burnt flesh.

This journey has been a nightmare!

Those seemingly weak LV1 monsters were transformed into all sorts of deadly traps by Ron's "masterful craftsmanship"!

Goblin?

I thought it was the softest persimmon, but it turned out to contain a rock goblin with skin as hard as granite!

If he hadn't reluctantly pulled out a bottle of [Powerful Corrosive Potion] worth 5 gold coins and splashed it on them, he would be the one lying on the ground now!

Black Vine?

These vines, which should have been rustling, have instead become ghosts that launch silent attacks!

It sprang out of the shadows without warning and wrapped itself tightly around his legs!

Finally, he was forced to waste another bottle of [Burning Flame Potion] worth 7 gold coins before the damned vine finally let go!

Fel bats?

The guy who should have been located using ultrasound actually resorted to a "silent sneak attack"!

It suddenly swooped down from above like a ghost!

The pain of being corrupted by fel energy forced him to grit his teeth and drink a [Fel Neutralizing Potion] worth 10 gold coins!

These insidious skills, which should have belonged to goblins, were perfectly transplanted onto other monsters!

This bizarre design made him fully understand why Rose had failed here.

"Damn it! I've already spent dozens of gold coins on potions!"

Walter's heart ached terribly, but his eyes grew even fiercer:

"Give up now? Then the 100 gold coins and the blue necklace will be completely wasted! A total loss!"

He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, gripped the giant axe tightly again, and walked cautiously with every step, keeping his eyes and ears open, his nerves taut to the extreme.

Soon, several large, hairy giant wolf spiders hanging upside down on the cave ceiling came into his view.

Seeing these creatures, Walter gasped! The giant tarantula's signature move, [Silk Binding], was already a headache, but who knew what kind of weird stuff the giant tarantulas in this godforsaken place had fused with?

"We can't gamble anymore!"

He made a quick decision and took out a crystal bottle containing a thick, orange-yellow liquid from the medicine pouch at his waist.

The bottle is etched with runes that read "Elastic Elixir".

He bit off the cork, tilted his head back, and poured down the precious liquid worth 12 gold coins!

As soon as the medicine entered his throat, a strange warm current instantly spread throughout his body.

He subconsciously pinched his arm with his fingers—

Hiss!

The skin and muscles of the arms were easily stretched and deformed, like heated wax, giving them a strange clay-like texture!

The rubber-absorbing agent has taken effect!

This is his trump card for dealing with binding skills; he used to only use it when facing difficult bosses.

I never imagined that I would be completely exhausted by a level 1 spider today!

With the effects of the medication taking hold, Walter felt somewhat relieved.

He carefully chose a spot with his back against the cold rock wall to avoid being attacked from both sides, and then let out a provocative growl at the giant wolf spider on the cave ceiling.

"Woo-hoo!"

The ten giant wolf spiders on the cave ceiling were immediately startled and swarmed down the rock wall like a black tide!

Walter's eyes sharpened as his giant axe drew a deadly arc in front of him!

The axe blade cleaves and sweeps with precision!

Relying on his superior level and equipment, as well as the confidence boost from the rubber potion, he chopped down the charging giant tarantulas one by one as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!

Green sap and mangled limbs splattered everywhere.

The battle ended unusually quickly.

"strangeness……"

Walter, panting, looked at the mess on the floor with a puzzled expression:

"These spiders...why don't they use spider silk?"

This unusually smooth progress, however, made him feel uneasy.

Just then, he felt his body sink, and that strange elasticity was rapidly fading—

The effect of the "rubber solution" has ended.

He dared not linger, and after catching his breath, he continued to grope his way forward.

Turning a wet corner, the sight before him made his pupils shrink slightly—

A dozen or so Thunder-Patterned Lizards, their carapaces crackling with dangerous arcs of electricity, were crouching on either side of the cave, their cold, vertical pupils locked onto him!

Walter was very experienced with the Rathalos lizard.

When attacked, they release a powerful electric current that travels along the metal weapon and is extremely deadly.

Fortunately, the handle of his giant axe was made of insulated dragon bloodwood, so he should have been safe.

But this is the Black Language Cave! He dared not be careless in the slightest, his muscles tensed, his giant axe held horizontally in front of his chest, as if facing a group of ferocious beasts that would devour anyone, and he slowly approached step by step.

The moment he stepped into the Thunder-Patterned Lizard's attack range!

One of the [Spore-Striped Lizards], its body gleaming with an eerie blackish-purple sheen, suddenly swelled its abdomen into a ball! It opened its gaping maw, filled with sharp teeth—

puff!

A large, sticky, tough spiderweb, crackling with eerie blue arcs of electricity, shot out like a predatory python, instantly enveloping Walter!

"Oh no! It's a spider web binding!"

Walter was horrified! He immediately struggled violently, trying to tear the sticky electric grid apart with brute force.

The dragon blood wood axe handle is indeed insulated, but the body is bound, making it difficult to fully exert one's strength!

Just as his arm muscles bulged, about to tear open a gash—

Zila——! ! !

A violent surge of high-voltage current, far exceeding the intensity released by ordinary Thunder-Patterned Lizards, pierced through every inch of Walter's skin like countless red-hot steel needles, flowing along the sticky, moist spiderweb!

"Hiss... Ugh!!!"

Walter only had time to let out a short, distorted scream before the intense numbness and bone-deep burning pain completely overwhelmed his consciousness!

His massive body convulsed violently, like a trapped beast with its throat gripped by an invisible giant hand, unable to utter a sound.

He could only watch helplessly as the terrifying lizards, crackling with electricity, slowly closed in...

His despairing face was reflected in his cold, vertical pupils!

Chapter 15 Lilith's Wrath

A piercing hiss of electricity traveled rapidly along the sticky spiderweb, instantly seizing Walter.

The burly, bear-like Walter felt as if his entire body was being branded with an invisible hot iron. A wave of excruciating pain, accompanied by intense numbness, swept over him, and his muscles instantly stiffened like wood...

"hiss--!"

Another sliver of viscous spider silk, crackling with eerie blue electricity, shot out from the menacing mouth of another Thunder-Patterned Lizard and precisely adhered to Walter's broad back.

Walter's body convulsed violently and uncontrollably, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer.

Wisps of burnt smoke began to rise from every pore of his body and from every seam of his clothes, filling the air with a strange smell of burning flesh.

"hiss--!"

One deadly electrical pulse after another fell like a cruel lash.

Walter's current appearance resembled that of someone imprisoned on the legendary "Throne of Thunder," a place of torture.

Smoke with a burnt smell kept escaping from his nostrils, ear canals, and even his mouth, which was wide open in pain, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes was completely swallowed up by the lightning.

This inhuman torture lasted for a long and precise three minutes in the dark cave.

Finally, Walter's burly body came to a complete stop, turning into a charred and twisted skeleton, its surface carbonized and cracked, yet its interior strangely exuding a ripe texture.

"Tsk tsk, this guy's magic resistance is not bad. He withstood so many lightning bolts before he died."

Ron's fingertips lightly traced across the light screen panel floating in front of him, which was covered in dark purple runes.

He watched as the life signal of the adventurer who had covered the farthest distance was completely extinguished, and couldn't help but marvel at his tenacious vitality.

His thoughts returned to the Black Language Cave underground city, and he began to consider it.

"The current situation is entirely due to the fact that adventurers are completely unaware of the monster skills in the cave that I have reshaped with my 'entries'."

"Once these few days are over, and the painful lessons of those who failed and the information about the monsters have spread, exploring this cave will be much less difficult."

"Therefore, the clearance rate will inevitably start to climb from that point onward."

"It seems that in the days to come, I will have to keep a close eye on the dynamics of the [vocabulary] update, and use the newly generated 'vocabularies' to create more tricky and deadly monster variants, and keep this damned pass rate down."

Ding-dong-

The crisp sound of the doorbell rang out abruptly, breaking the silence of the small house.

Ron's cramped apartment only has a tiny room that serves as both a bedroom and a living room, plus a small kitchen, but the door opens quickly.

"Miss Lilith? What brings you here?"

Lilith stood at the door, her jewel-like eyes practically spitting out flames, as if she were about to tear the vampire boy to shreds at any moment.

—Let me build you a dungeon where I can comfortably "play it safe"!
