Chapter 579 577: Return, Windfall! (End of the Dungeon) (24)

In the woods.

Fenric walked quickly.

Because he realized that the Demon Incense was burning very fast.

If he couldn't leave the forest before the incense burned out, he would definitely die here!

ROAR!!

In the distance behind him, a massive roar suddenly erupted.

There was no need to guess—only Saitama could create such a disturbance!

Fenric didn't look back and simply quickened his pace.

Being able to lure Saitama into that strange place and seeing the Demon Incense work proved that Fenric had made the right gamble!

If even under these circumstances Saitama could still escape alive, then Fenric could only accept his fate.

Finally—

Just before the Demon Incense burned out, Fenric ran out of the eerie forest.

Looking at the sunlight outside, Fenric breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled.

"Fenric!!"

A surprised voice sounded from nearby.

Then a beautiful figure rushed toward Fenric and threw herself into his arms.

Fenric clearly saw who it was and opened his arms with a smile.

Belle was both worried and confused. Seeing Fenric return safely, she could no longer restrain her emotions.

Not far away—

Aurora watched everything with a smile, though a look of gentle admiration appeared in her eyes.

Yuhan had finally found her own happiness. Fenric was definitely someone she could entrust her life to.

And what about herself?

Where was her destined partner?

"Commander, it looks like it won't be long before we get to drink at your sister's wedding!"

"That's right, Commander Song—remember to invite me when the time comes!"

The people nearby began laughing.

The atmosphere was very relaxed.

Since Boss Shura had walked out of the forest, that terrifying bald head must have perished.

In other words, the final victory belonged to them!

Thinking about the reward of 100,000 Samsara Points, everyone was in an excellent mood.

"Of course! When the time comes Shura really becomes my brother-in-law, I will definitely invite all of you to the wedding banquet!"

Aurora said generously.

The moment her voice fell—

Ding!

A system notification echoed in everyone's minds.

"Congratulations, the mission has been completed. All Samsara players participants will return to Samsara Tower after a 30-second countdown!"

"30, 29, 28..."

Hearing the system's announcement, everyone became ecstatic.

"The mission is over—we won!"

"That's amazing!"

"Hahaha, 100,000 Samsara Points are ours!"

"With these 100,000 points, my strength can improve a lot!"

"Yeah! I obtained a skill earlier but didn't have enough Samsara Points to learn and upgrade it. Now I finally can!"

"All thanks to Boss Shura!"

"Lord Shura is mighty! I really want to invite Lord Shura for a drink—I just don't know if he'll give me that chance!"

Seeing everyone celebrating excitedly, Aurora was also very happy.

She raised her voice and said, "Everyone, once we return to Samsara Tower, don't log off immediately. I'll reserve a private room at the bar. We'll gather there, and I'll invite Shura as well!"

"Great!!"

Everyone cheered.

The thirty-second countdown quickly ended.

The moment the countdown reached zero, Aurora and the others were immediately enveloped in red light and disappeared from where they stood.

On the desert island, the bodies of those who had died from countless worlds also disappeared.

The entire island faded like a bursting bubble and vanished completely.

…

Samsara Tower.

"Congratulations. You have completed the multiplayer dungeon mission and received a reward of 100,000 Samsara Points."

"Due to your personal performance, you have received additional rewards."

"Additional reward: 50,000 Samsara Points."

"Additional reward: Personal Dungeon Card ×1 (stored in your personal warehouse)."

Fenric, who had just returned to Samsara Tower, heard the system notification.

"Extra rewards?"

Fenric was slightly surprised before breaking into a smile.

This was an unexpected windfall!

Especially the Personal Dungeon Card—Fenric hadn't seen one in a long time.

Afterward, Fenric opened his personal status panel.

Name: Shura.

Samsara Number: (Zone C) 90086.

Physique: 500.

Spirit: 898.

Strength: 1000.

Agility: 500.

Unassigned Potential Points: 0.

Samsara Points: 218,281.

Overall Evaluation: S.

In addition to the 150,000 Samsara Points obtained this time, Fenric's total Samsara Points had now reached an astonishing amount—over 200,000!

Afterward, Fenric began exchanging for potential points, preparing to continue improving his strength.

However, when he attempted to increase his strength attribute, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Notice: Your strength attribute has reached the upper limit of the 'human level' and can no longer be increased."

"Hint: You must break through the 'human-level' limit before you can continue to increase your strength attribute."

Hearing the system prompt, Fenric frowned.

"Human-level limit? Is there a non-human level above it? Or perhaps a god-level?"

It was the first time he had heard of the concept of a human-level limit.

And an attribute of 1000 points seemed to be the cap for the human level.

"But that doesn't seem right... When I activate the Indestructible Demon Body, my strength is definitely far beyond 1000 points."

"Could it be that temporary increases are allowed, but permanent increases are not? Maybe only breaking the limit allows it?"

"So... how do you break through the human-level limit? This damn system doesn't give any detailed explanation."

Fenric frowned and fell into deep thought.

Just then—

Aurora sent him a video communication request, and Fenric chose to accept it.

"Shura, are you free right now?"

"Yes."

"Good. Come to Box 16 at the bar. Everyone has gathered, and we also want to thank you."

Fenric smiled. "It's fine to gather for a while, but there's no need to thank me, right?"

"Just come first!"

"Alright, I'll be there soon."

After ending the call, Fenric gave up the idea of continuing to exchange potential points and kept his 200,000-plus Samsara Points.

"About this human-level limit... maybe Aurora knows something."

Thinking of this, Fenric asked the system to teleport him to the bar.

…

Bar.

Box No. 16.

When Fenric walked in, he saw that many people were already inside.

So many people were waiting for him.

Fenric immediately understood the meaning of this gathering.

"Lord Shura is here!"

"Shura, Great God! Thank you so much for tonight. The drinks are on me—drink as much as you want!"

"Come on, boss, sit here!"

Seeing Fenric appear, everyone in the room stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.

Even those who weren't good with words respectfully greeted him with, "Hello, Mr. Shura!"

The reason everyone treated Fenric with such respect was naturally because of the multiplayer dungeon earlier.

Fenric's performance in the dungeon had completely convinced them.

And the fact that everyone had survived safely and received generous rewards was all thanks to Fenric.

On that point, no one present disagreed.

Under everyone's enthusiastic guidance, Fenric was arranged to sit on the sofa in the center of the private room.

That was the main seat.

Everyone had already bought drinks, and the moment Fenric sat down, people began approaching him for toasts.

"Mr. Shura, thank you for taking care of me during the multiplayer dungeon. I raise this glass to you—I'll finish it in one go!"

After speaking, the man drained his glass in one gulp.

With the first person stepping forward, a second quickly followed.

"Mr. Shura, thank you for leading us through the dungeon. It was a pleasure working with you. I also toast you!"

"Shura, I rarely respect anyone, but I truly respect you! You're number one without question. I raise this glass—you can drink as you like!"

One toast after another left Fenric somewhat speechless.

Finally, after everyone had finished a full round of toasts—and seeing some people preparing for a second round—Fenric quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"Alright, alright. That's enough. We're all Samsaras participants; there's no need for this drinking-table culture."

Aurora also laughed and scolded them lightly.

"That's enough. Let's talk business. Shura still has to run another dungeon later!"

Hearing Aurora's words, everyone realized something.

Boss Shura was different from them.

His dungeon-clearing speed was insane.

As long as he had time, he would definitely run another dungeon.

It wasn't even two in the morning yet.

They themselves wouldn't run another dungeon tonight.

But Boss Shura certainly would!

Thinking of this, everyone stopped making noise.

"Right, business first. We shouldn't delay Mr. Shura's time."

"Mr. Shura, to thank you, I'm willing to give you a special item. After we finish drinking, we'll go to the trading center and transfer it to you. I hope it will be useful!"

"Me too!"

Hearing this, Fenric waved his hands repeatedly.

"There's no need for that. Everyone helped each other to win. It wasn't just because of me."

It wasn't that Fenric was deliberately being polite.

With his current strength, ordinary special items didn't have much effect on him.

Unless it was something like Thor's Ring, which could significantly enhance his power.

And such items were extremely rare.

If these people possessed something of that level, their strength would have already risen significantly—and they certainly wouldn't give it away.

So Fenric didn't even bother asking.

Aurora persuaded him from the side.

"Shura, everyone knows that this multiplayer dungeon relied mainly on you. You don't need to decline. This is everyone's sincerity. If you don't accept it, they'll feel uneasy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zen Master added,

"That's right, Shura. If you refuse our thanks, it means you don't want to cooperate with us again in the future!"

Alright.

Fenric understood now.

These people were hoping there would be opportunities to cooperate again next time.

Fenric couldn't help but smile wryly.

Multiplayer Dungeon Cards were extremely rare.

After so many dungeons, he had only obtained one.

"Since you've all said that, fine—I'll accept your goodwill. But there's no need to give me anything valuable. I don't need items that increase combat power. If you have something novel or interesting, that would be enough."

Hearing this, Zen Master thought for a moment before saying,

"Shura, if that's the case, I do have something here. I'm not sure whether you'll be interested. If you want it, I won't give you a special item—I'll give you this instead. It's useless to me anyway."

"Oh?" Fenric asked curiously. "What is it?"

"A Trial Card."

Zen Master Zen Zendaruth said, "It should also be a type of dungeon card. I don't know exactly what it is. The system labels it as highly dangerous. I don't dare try it."

Fenric was surprised.

A Trial Card?

It was his first time hearing about it.

It seemed that there were still many unknown things in Samsara Tower.

"Alright. If you don't want it, give it to me."

"Okay. We'll go to the trading center later."

Since everyone didn't want to delay Fenric's dungeon schedule, the small gathering didn't last long.

After a few drinks, everyone consciously said their goodbyes.

Then they went together to the trading center and gave their "thank-you gifts" to Fenric.

To Fenric's surprise, he actually received quite a few useful special items.

Among them, the one he liked the most was a cloak that could change his body shape and blend perfectly with the night.

Combined with his disguise mask, this cloak was practically perfect equipment for stealth missions!

Zen Master Zen Zendaruth's Trial Card also ended up in Fenric's hands.

"Trial Card: A dungeon trial designed to test personal strength."

"Warning: Trial dungeons are extremely dangerous. Please prepare carefully before use."

Hearing the system's prompt, Fenric was slightly stunned.

The system warned about the danger but said nothing about rewards?

No wonder the Zen Master didn't dare use it.

If there was only danger and no reward, it simply wasn't worth the risk.

If it cost him his life, the loss would be enormous.

After everyone left, Fenric asked Aurora to stay behind.

…

Inside a teahouse private room.

"Shura, why did you want to talk with me?" Aurora asked while sipping tea.

Fenric nodded and said, "Aurora, may I ask—among your four basic attributes, which one is the highest?"
