Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 120: Second Level

"Few that was tough." Said Xie Xie as he stares at the head-less one-eyed giant body.

The fiend that he had to fight to get to the next level was a blue one-eyed giant that was about 40 meters tall. It wasn't hard to beat it because of the giant lack of speed allowing Xie Xie instantly blind him and then cut off his head.

Although the giant kept on swinging it club around and caused a gale of wind to sweep through the room, that almost made him fall as he was moving around.

"I wonder If I'm the first one in the group that is going to the second level."

Xie Xie couldn't help but smirk as he begins walking toward the door that the giant was guarding. While he hoped he could have met up with Yuanen and help her with moving down the floors, it seems that they were transported further than he hoped.

As he got near the door, he felt the whole room shake and rumble causing him to fall. As he falls down, he could see cracks forming around his room and then a deafening booming noise after.

After a while, the room stops shaking and cracks stopped appearing. Xie Xie glance all around the room while thinking.

'What the hell is going on.'

"Well, we won." Said Zeref as he appeared next to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin said nothing as he stared at the shattered body of the Silver Rider with his cloak being torn and his bow was broken. The Silver Rider body lit up and turned into a ball before rushing into Tang Wulin body.

After he had absorbed the Silver Rider soul, he shifted his head to the door that the Silver Rider was guarding. He began moving towards it and then found himself on a linear path that was going down.

After a bit of running, he found himself in a similar room he was in from the beginning of the first floor. Then he saw the same door him and his friends jump down to get to the next level.

"I thought It would be a gate."Said Tang Wulin causing Zeref lips to twitch.

He was thinking it would be similar to a gate that teleported the people who were able to get past the fiends that guards it. Shaking his head, he moved toward the door that opens up and then jumped straight down again.

Similar to the entrance he was fell down and in a matter of minutes, he landed safely. In a similar red room as before and then, he moved towards the entrance of the next level.

"Well, this is different." Said Zeref as he glances around.

The hallway of the second level seemed more decayed and rotten with bits of blue painting smeared all around, Not only that but he kept on feeling a constant sense of chills and dread throughout the whole corridor.

If Tang Wulin didn't know any better, he would have thought he was in a haunted house. While he was glancing around, he felt something behind and as he turned around, he saw a spectral ghost moving through the walls.

"First ghost since we got here." Said Zeref as he moved towards the ghost.

Yet to his puzzlement, it didn't seem to notice him or seem to care he was there as it moved passed him and then towards Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin moved out of the way of the ghost but a bit of it caught a part of his arm and caused him to flinch.

"What the." Said Tang Wulin as he felt the element of ice spread through his arm but then his Devil Slayer and Dragon Slayer erased the feeling. He furrowed his brow and was a bit shock that the glittering ice didn't appear on contact.

"It's probably because the ice didn't appear until after the ghost was slipping through you." Said Zeref.

"The aura of the dead is strong here." Said Sleipnir as she appeared next to Tang Wulin.

"Yep." Said Zeref as he too could sense the aura of death.

"Let's just hurry up and find the next fiend." Said Tang Wulin as he continued walking down the hallway.

BANG!

An earth-shattering and ear-deafening noise reverberated through the halls as a wall was smashed apart and the others around it forming cracks.

"This sure saves a lot of time." Said Zeref as he looked around.

"It would save a lot more time if we're able to find some demons." Said Tang Wulin.

Similar to before, he wanted to interrogate the demons who have been in this maze more than once, so he can hurry up and head to the hell gate. While there might be a chance for him to discover or find the hell gate with luck.

He had no interest in relying solely on luck, although he wouldn't mind if he happened to stumble upon the gate while he searched for the demons. The wall behind him resealed itself as he was thinking and then he steps back.

A flowing stream of flames passed by the area where he was standing. Tang Wulin turned around to see a group of demons down from the hall and surprisingly one of them was the same demon, that was staring at Yuanen.

That demon was precisely Mahaan and his group that began to follow the deafening sound that transmitted waves through the hall they were in.

"Talking about unlucky." Said Zeref as he stared at Mahaan.

'I guess.' Thought Tang Wulin as he stared at Mahaan with a complicated look.

Tang Wulin didn't plan to deal with Mahaan at all, as he rather utilizes him to get a real understanding of Yuanen strength. As he didn't really know her direct limits ever since her spirit evolved and never had the chance to find out as he was so busy with the creation of Tenrou City.

So imagine his mix feeling of seeing the person he was going to use to test Yuanen growth. If Mahaan heard the throughs of Wulin, he would surely try and fight him to the death.

As this would be the first time anyone would treat him as a sharpener for another person. It was always others who he used as a hurdle to get stronger.

'I didn't think I would find one of the people in her group so fast.' Thought Mahaan in glee as he stared at Tang Wulin as if he was looking at a dead-man.

Mahaan plans to beat up and capture Tang Wulin as a way to force the holder of the seed out. While he wouldn't be surprised if the holder didn't care about the man life, you could never be too sure.

Either way, if the person in front of him is useless, then he will just dispose of him. Then continue on his journey to find the girl and beat her to death before taking the seed. With these thoughts in mind, Mahaan smile turned greedy and cruel as he orders the demons around him.

"Capture the man in front. You can beat him up if he resists."Said Mahaan and causing the eyes of the demons around him to lit up.

It has been a while since they fought or suppressed anyone as Mahaan wanted to test his strength and show off his might. Even against the fiend to get to the second level, Mahaan still fought it alone and won.

Tang Wulin saw the demons leisurely walking towards him with easy-going looks and confidence. In fact, some of them even lowered their weapons and were trying to suppress Tang Wulin with their words.

"Wow." Said Zeref as he stared at the group with wide eyes.

He truly does wonder if these guys forgot that anyone that could travel independently and make it to the second floor wouldn't be so simple. Yet what Zeref didn't know that the demons understood this but felt that with there their numbers and general Mahaan.

There would be no reason for them to lose or be defeated by one person. This was their mistake as Tang Wulin only sighed and didn't feel like waiting for them to attack him.

Clenching his fist and with one stomp that caused visible cracks on the ground and the walls to appear. The ground shook again and again, and the decaying tiles on the floor all flew upward from the sudden force.

Tang Wulin punches out towards the demons whose eyes were shocked from the damaged he caused with his one stomp.

Tang Wulin fist ripped through the air and produce a shockwave that rushes towards the demon in front of him.

'Death!'

The demons watched in a daze as in front of them Tang Wulin fist became larger than even the brilliant sun. The demons weren't able to let out a scream as they were turned into a bloody mist and their bones shattering.

Mahaan expression changed as he felt the terrifying force that was rupturing the ground was coming towards him and he instantly summoned up a barrier to block it. The barrier lights began dimming as it took the let over forced of Tang Wulin punch.

'What the hell!' Thought Mahaan in shock.

He wasn't shocked at the demons he brought dying or the fact that the being in front of him was able to kill them so easily. He was shocked at the fact that the man before him was able to produce such terrifying and heaven-defying strength.

'It's impossible for anyone above high-class demon to enter this place.'

'Wait! Don't tell me that was just his natural strength!'

The only beings that Mahaan knew that could match and even surpass the amount of strength Tang Wulin just displayed were the Demon Monarchs. Shaking his head, he refuses to believe the dungeon would allow someone that strong inside.

Mahaan instantly summoned purple flames around him and then slashed it toward Tang Wulin. Then he raised his hand to summon countless balls of flames and thrust them towards Tang Wulin.

As he saw the purple flames coming towards him, Tang Wulin simply inhale.

'Fool! These flames aren't something one can just eat! Not even if one had the ability to regenerate from ash, could they survive this flame.' Thought Mahaan in glee as he watched the flames swirling into Tang Wulin mouth.

Mahaan could picture it now, Tang Wulin body bursting into flames and then turning into ash with nothing remaining. Yet to his shock, not only was Tang Wulin able to absorb all of the fire but also being able to burp and let out a puff of smoke out of his mouth.

Mahaan blanky stared at the man or monster in front of him. This as never happened ever in the demon world. Especially since the flames of hell were approaching the heat that was close to the level of the sun.

Gritting his teeth Mahaan put his palm together and began summoning a large amount of hellfire to attack Tang Wulin. Purple-gold flames wrapped all around him and wisp began smashing into the wall, while leaving small burn marks.

Then Mahaan thrust out causing the hallway to erupt with overflowing waves of flames and becoming a room filled with a boundless sea of fire. They were even more terrifying, engulfing all directions and causing even some of the walls to begin to turn black, yet surprisingly they didn't melt.

Tang Wulin furrowed his brows while clenching his fist as a thin and transparent layer of golden scales began to shine on his body. He then thrust out his fist causing a dragon roar and the earth to rumble as a dragon head was shot out of his fist.

The roar sends ripples through the raging flames coming towards Tang Wulin and then it began to part as the golden dragon dash through. Mahaan narrowed his eyes that were filled with shock and knew he couldn't keep fighting Tang Wulin in this narrow hallway.

Most of his powers would require a vaster space as just using his last attack, almost caused him to be devoured by his own flames from the space being so compact. With that in mind, he claps down on his hand summon a barrier in front of him.

Then turned around and began running away with a visible streak of purple. The golden dragon smashed into the shield and was held down for a few seconds before it broke it.

'Did he just run?' Thought Tang Wulin with a blank look.

"He did." Said Zeref with his lip twitching.
