Darius Supreme-Chapter 604
Darius watched speechlessly as the new wave of monsters rushed into the fire and burned themselves continually. They did not even seem to consider the possibility of running back into the doors they came from, which were still closing, rather opting to roll about in agony as they burned in the flames.
It seemed that the monsters were strictly programmed to zerg any adventurer who had left the rest area, without considering environmental factors or the specific circumstances.
Then again, with these sheer numbers, such considerations were truly unnecessary. Darius calmly threw another Fireball to end the wave immediately. This cleared out all those that were thrashing about and renewed the surrounding inferno.
As expected, the third wave now held 30,000 level 3 monsters who all rushed out with malice on their faces, only to fall into the same quagmire as those that came before.
Speechlessly, Darius continued this process of throwing down a fireball each round as new monsters rushed in. From level 1 to level 5, he cleared all the monsters and was finally confronted by a group of minibosses.
Darius didn't even bother to Inspect them before he simply burned them to death and moved onto the second rest station. Here, he noted that the resources were exactly the same as those in the first one.
He moved onto the second battle room and was immediately besieged by 60,000 level 6 monsters, repeating the same process until he cleared up to 100,000 level 10 monsters.
Darius then faced off against an even larger and more powerful group of minibosses, that he also vanquished with ease. After that was the third rest station and then the third battle room.
... 150,000 level 15 monsters came running over, their vines and claws lancing forward.
Of course, the same scene repeated itself. Darius went through the motions until he cleared 200,000 level 20 monsters.
Afterwards, he was faced with a slew of Amateur bosses that came in groups. Clearing them with practiced ease, he ignored the large treasure chest and went down to the Journeyman floors.
The Dungeon did not give out small treasure chests like others because of the rest stations. With such an advantage, one did not have the right to ask for more.
Darius entered the first rest station and passed through to the first battle room of the Hourneyman floors. Here, 1,000 level 21 monsters were released at him from all sides.
Similar to before, Darius threw a Fireball down and vanquished all of them. With his current stats, only Grandmasters of any kind would be able to survive such a blow from him.
The Journeyman floor followed the same structure as the Amateur floor, meaning he was besieged by 2,000 level 22 monsters, 3,000 level 23 monsters, 4,000 level 24 monsters, and finally 5,000 level 25 monsters in this battleroom.
Once those were all slain, Darius faced a single miniboss that was actually made up of more than five different bosses.

It was a monster Darius and Gunner had seen before when they had once traversed the Wood element Dungeon of Lord Spencely's former domain, Listo. At that time, they had been but lowly Amateurs. The Supreme System had still been the cheap knock-off from Caesar and the robotic maniac had still been down their backs.
As such, they had wisely opted to avoid that battle. Now, though, Darius cast Flamepillar over the Forest of Death and listened to it screech in a high-pitched tone as its body burned ferociously.
It died soon enough, and Darius continued on. Into this floor's second rest station, then the second battle room. Here he was attacked by 6,000 level 26 monsters, 7,000 level 27 monsters, 8,000 level 28 monsters, 9,000 level 29 monsters and 10,000 level 30 monsters.
He then faced off against another boss, which was one-shot as well.
Darius went through the rest of the Journeyman floors like this, ignoring the big treasure chest and going down to the Adept floors.
Here, the first battle room spat out 100 level 41 monsters, which he easily dealt with. Then came 200 level 42 monsters, 300 level 43 monsters and so on.
It was obvious enough by now that each subsequent floor would have 10% of the number of the previous one, so even though the quality of monsters increased, the quantity decreased, making it passable for those with the necessary skill to trek this far.
Darius cleared the Adept floors as well, making succinct progress towards the bottom, which was his goal. Now, he was on the first battle room of the Master floors, and he could tell that this place was hardly ever visited.
10 level 61 monsters rushed out, and their sizes and skill alone were nothing like before, not to mention the abilities they had. This time, instead of using magic, Darius took out his Dragon Ancestor's Spear.
[Dragon Ancestor's Lance of Destruction - Unique Weapon (Lv. 25)
Durability: 3,100,000/3,100,000
Quality: Perfect
Damage: 33,500-37,500
Description: A one of its kind spear that has never existed in the history of Faust. It is made from the broken shaft of the Dragonlance, Holy Gold, and a little bit of Mithril, God's Steel and Soul Essence. During its creation, it was mixed with Lunar Dew and the heart blood of the Ancestor Dragon, granting it Supreme might and a sentient spirit that can grow the weapon's power endlessly as long as it is wielded by someone worthy.]
Given Darius' physical stats, the weapon's current power was enough to even kill Demi-Gods, much less these mere mobs. However, what the Itemancer was going for here was obvious.
Demi-Gods were limited in quantity, and the death of each one would cause untold problems down the line.. However, monsters in a Dungeon were literally an infinite resource, so this was the best place for him to farm lifeforce for his special weapon.
