Villainess X Villain: They are obsessed with each other!-Chapter 117 -: 116 Forming groups.

The Lone King’s deep voice rang out again, calm and unhurried as always.

[Children of the future, now I will explain how to pass this floor and reach the second one.]

Everyone leaned in, listening carefully. The voice paused for a moment, giving them time to take it in.

[This floor is filled with Time-Rewinding Purple Wolves.]

The second the words left the voice, every student looked around nervously.

They could feel strong killing intent coming from all directions.

It was clear that dangerous monsters were watching them from the shadows.

Cillian muttered quietly, "Time-Rewinding Purple Wolves?"

He turned to Max with wide eyes. "Aren’t those the time-path beasts that went extinct a long time ago?"

Max stroked his chin, thinking hard. He answered in a steady voice so the whole small team could hear.

"Yeah, they are. In this world, there are many kinds of beasts. Each kind belongs to a certain path and uses special powers from that path."

"These purple wolves are time-path beasts. That means they can control time in small ways."

He pointed toward the dark forest where the purple trees stood tall and glowing faintly.

"Those purple trees you see are also time-path resources. They’re very useful for making strong Treasures."

Max kept explaining in a friendly, easy way, like he was telling a fun story around a campfire.

"Treasures are super powerful tools that spell casters use. Once someone reaches the Spirit Core stage, they can have a treasure that matches their own path."

"For example, Rosalina Velentina has a sword called Mary. It’s a Supreme Grade Law-path treasure, one of the rarest kinds."

"Only someone with Rose Petal Eyes can use it. The last person who owned it lived about fifteen hundred years ago in the Valentina clan. Now Rosalina is the new owner because she has those special eyes."

He grinned a little as he continued.

"There are different stages of treasures: Low Grade, Mid Grade, High Grade, Supreme Grade, and the strongest of all Celestial Grade."

"Celestial Grade treasures are the rarest and most powerful. They need divine-grade beast materials to make them, and each one is built using very complex formulas and infinite theorems."

"Everyone knows how important treasures are. A good one can make any spell caster way stronger than before."

Max looked back at the group with a light sparkle in his eyes.

"So these Time-Rewinding Purple Wolves and the purple trees are both time-path things."

"If we can beat the wolves and gather some materials from them or the trees, we could turn them into amazing treasures later. But first... we have to survive them!"

The team exchanged excited and slightly nervous glances.

The fun explanation made the danger feel a bit more like an adventure, even though they all knew the wolves were watching them closely, ready to strike.

The Lone King’s deep voice rang out again after its usual calm pause.

[You will venture into the forest and kill the Time-Rewinding Purple Wolves. You can keep their corpses if you want. Each person must kill one hundred Time-Rewinding Purple Wolves.]

The moment those words echoed across the open area, almost everyone turned pale.

A big wave of shock spread through the crowd.

"One hundred?" a student muttered, staring at the dark forest with clenched teeth.

He could feel the strong bloodlust coming from the trees.

"What the hell? How are we supposed to do that?"

Another student looked nervous and added.

"Normal speedy wind wolves from the wind path are already so strong that even a mid-stage Flow Realm spell caster has a hard time dealing with them."

"These purple ones are clearly stronger... and we have to kill a hundred each? That’s crazy!"

"Hmph!" A big, haughty-looking student snorted loudly.

He looked at the worried students with clear contempt.

"If you can’t do it, then don’t! Bloody weaklings!"

Even though he acted tough, many of the students who had planned to go alone quickly started forming teams.

No one wanted to face this challenge by themselves anymore.

Cillian muttered softly to his new teammates.

"But how will they even count that we killed exactly one hundred?"

Just then, the Lone King’s voice continued.

[Your kills will be counted immediately. There is a small glass badge-like circle on your chest. You may check it.]

Everyone looked down at their own chest.

Sure enough, a small, clear badge had appeared there without anyone noticing.

It showed the number "00" glowing softly.

"Wow... when did that appear?" one girl said with wide eyes.

"Kinda cool, right?" another student replied, tapping the badge lightly.

The students started talking excitedly among themselves again.

Before the chatter could grow too loud, the Lone King spoke once more.

[Once you kill one hundred each, you will be automatically transported to the next floor. So I advise that if you are in a team, hold back on the last kill.]

[Now you can start. Conquer this floor! The fastest person or group to finish will get a special reward.]

The moment the voice finished, the open area burst into motion.

Students shouted, formed last-minute teams, and began moving toward the edge of the purple forest with a mix of excitement and fear.

Max turned to Cillian and the others with a big grin.

"Alright team, looks like we’ve got our mission. One hundred purple wolves each. Let’s do this smart and fast, that special reward sounds worth chasing!"

Cillian nodded at his new teammates, a confident smile on his face.

These guys were a strong bunch.

Everyone in the group, including him, was at the early stage of the Conversation Realm in Mental Ascension.

The strongest was Max, who had already reached the mid stage.

With a solid team like this, clearing the floor should feel smooth and safe.

But as he stood there, Cillian glanced down at the special wristband on his hand.

A new message had just appeared a few seconds earlier:

[We are at the 8th floor. We will stay here for a few days.]

This was the third message he had received.

Cillian quietly pulled his eyes away from the band and looked toward the distant purple forest.

’They’ve already passed the 7th floor...’ he thought.

Crypian and Alia were very strong, but for them to clear the 7th floor so quickly... he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

’They really are monsters...’

Max noticed Cillian’s brief distracted look and clapped him on the shoulder with a big grin.

"Hey, ready to hunt some time-rewinding wolves? Let’s go grab that special reward!"

Cillian shook off his thoughts and smiled back brightly. "Yeah, let’s do this!"

The five of them turned together and started walking toward the edge of the glowing purple forest.

All around them, other students were also moving in small groups or alone, some chatting nervously, others looking determined.
