[Day 25]
After defeating and making Adamas my servant, we continued to go deeper and deeper into the dungeon. With the immense help of Adamas, we ventured easily and right now we're on the 19th floor almost on the 20th floor.
But I still wondered why I still haven't evolved yet. I am already at max level do I still need to meet more conditions? As I was pondering about it we have arrived at the gate which will lead to the next boss.
Words were sculpted in the gate like on the 10th floor.
"Suddenly the God of creation disappeared. The God of Life and Death wanted to replace their creator but Kronos the God of Time stop them. The God of Life and Death created new Gods while Kronos created the Titans and thus the start of the War of the Gods and the Titans."
"War between Gods and Titans? Now that's interesting but who the hell created this dungeon? It can't be naturally formed because It looks like a manmade dungeon and someone or something purposely imprisoned Adamas and the others and forced them to protect the dungeon."
Adamas appeared out of nowhere and spoke.
"You're right Master, someone indeed created this and I made a deal with that "being". It's something that we mortals can never defeat."
"What kind of deal is it?"
"This quite a long story but bear with me Master."
===
After becoming the strongest I strive to gain knowledge next. When I was traveling "They" appeared I fought against them and lost but they didn't even move. I lost without even getting close to them. I despaired... I thought I was the strongest "He" looked at me and then said, "You're interesting! As thanks for entertaining me, you can wish for one thing and I'll give it to you." I was dumbfounded my mind became blank but I subconsciously said "I want knowledge about everything!"."
"But! there's an equivalent exchange for that. Do you have anything that equals your wish?"
"I'll give you my body!" At this point, I don't care what happens anymore. Knowing that there are godly beings like him spark something inside me.
"Bro! Is that really okay? I know your bored but is giving him knowledge is really okay?" The girl who stayed quiet for quite a while started to talk.
"Don't worry sis... I have already had a plan. Besides, I know you're bored too."
"Okay fine you got me so what's these plans of yours?"
"I'll tell you later." He looks at me and then smirks.
"That's not enough... How about this you will have to guard something for me and you will not tell anyone about the knowledge you acquired."
"Yes! I'll do anything!" He reaches out his hand and I handshake it.
Then suddenly a surged of knowledge is entering through me. I suddenly felt pain as the knowledge is entering my mind. The pain is becoming unbearable to the point that I want to die.
"If you survive this for 1 week you'll acquire the wish of yours good luck." They disappeared after bidding goodbye.
I don't know how many days has passed but I feel like months has passed ever since "They" appeared. When the pain finally subsided, I feel like a different person. I looked at my hands and feet then I realized... I have become a lich. I look around at my surroundings and realize I'm in a cave with huge doors behind a throne.
"He said something about guarding something is this what he's talking about?" I tried leaving the cave but something pulled me back. It was like an invisible chain. I'm in this cave for a long time and I haven't seen anyone entering this place. I've been in this place for a long time when can I leave this place... He didn't say about a time limit don't tell me... Sh*t Is he planning to keep me here forever?!
===
"I've been protecting that place for as long as I can remember until you have freed me, master. And that's all I know master."
"Are you telling me they're gods?! Now I'm more confused let's talk about it later. Anyways let's conquer this floor first." I said as I opened the gate.
Hundreds of bats came out of the gate. And what waited for us is an oversized bat upside down.
"Appraisal."

Title:
[King] [Hunter] [Progenitor] [Nightmare]
His pitch-black eyes opened and staring at me. He used his skill [Death Stare] at me and I can't move, it's like a predator hunting its prey.
"Chill out dude!" The moment we came inside he already attack us without any warning. We were busy looking at the other bats because of that it slipped out of my mind about him.
It then fell and opened his wings gliding into me quickly. It opened his huge mouth showing his scalpel-sharp teeth at me.
'I can't move!' The overwhelming difference in level, status, and skills makes me feel like an ant waiting to be killed.
Adamas ran towards me and quickly used his scythe to protect me.
[-450] damaged received.
Compared before Adamas is two times stronger. He leveled up to 80 when we were going down from the 11th floor to the 20th floor.
The fear and numbness from my body are finally gone now.
'Adamas, I'll leave it to you. I'll provide support and I'll use my [Eye of Verita] to find his weakness.' I said to Adamas telepathically. I'm useless right now I can only support Adamas from the distance. He's 50 levels higher than me but it doesn't mean I can't help.
"As you wish!" He said as he chanted.
"[Mind Control] [Flight] [Pyrokinesis] [Disintegrating Touch] [Green Generation Fire]" This time not only his scythe but his robe was in green fire too. Majestic bone wings suddenly appeared behind his back. A dark aura was enveloping his hand and he used pyrokinesis on himself to move faster as he used mind control to confuse the bat.
'Such a terrifying combination of magic. If he used that into me before I don't think I can survive that. Good thing he underestimated me and didn't use his all to fight me.'
'Adamas their long, thin finger bones and extra-light skin flaps can easily be broken or punctured so aim for it.' I said telepathically.
'Look behind!' He commanded the bat through mind control.
The bat got fooled and looked behind. Adamas didn't let this chance slipped away so he quickly slashed his scythe downward.
[-3,600] Critical!
[Bleeding effect has been activated]
[Burning effect has been activated]
"Nice two effects at the same time," I said.

"It burns!" The bat said. He flew in circles in an attempt to distinguish the fire.
"[Static Discharge]!" A combination of ice and lightning magic. Many small bits of ice bump into each other as they move around in my finger. All of those collisions created an electric charge that fired at the bat.
[-900] Critical!
The bat has been paralyzed for a second and fell.
"Adamas Now!" Adamas flies to the air and slashed his scythe at the bat it was about to hit the bat. But suddenly a black sphere is surrounding the bat it then exploded a surge of bats flying out of the sphere.
"100... 500... wait no hold on 800 bats! and It's still rising!" We saw a total of 1,000 small bats flying. I guess that was his skill [Multiply].
Adamas retreated to my side. The bats spit out some kind of acid at the same time.
*Ptooey*
*Ptooey*
"Well, shi-" I quickly ordered my army of undead to shield us.
"Looks like I need some help [Call]." Gobu and the others appeared.
"Your orders?" Gobu said.
"Rampage."
"You hear that boys! Leave none of them alive!" They replied with a loud roar then charged.
"Gyahahaha! Being with master is the best! I can rampage all I want every time he called us!" One of the orcs said as he slashed his ax downwards.
"I know right! Not only he's a good leader, he too treats us good and equal!" The goblin said smiling as he slit the throat of the bat.
"You guys..... I'm glad you felt that way though I'm a bit scared when you saying that smiling and happy while slitting one throat. ALRIGHT BOYS I'LL TREAT YOU GUYS A FEAST AFTER WE FINISH THIS!" All of them roared. They rampaged more than before. The battle became more intense because they were expecting rewards.
"Don't go back to your words master!! Alright, boys finish it quickly. The faster it finish the earlier we eat!" Gobu said.
"Oh yeah who kills the most will have more rewards!"
"SERIOUSLY?!! Move out of my way! Let me handle all these guys!" The ogre said. The battle became even more intense than before.
"[Radiant Light]!" I said a powerful light is Illuminating disintegrating all bats who touched it. A huge wave of notifications pops up.

[-1700] Critical!
[-1800] Critical!
[-1700] Critical!
[-1600] Critical

600 or more bats are left only. They joined again together as one. The bat looks angry.
"[Night Domain] [Nightmare Mode]!" The bat said. Our surroundings became darker even my [Night Vision] doesn't work anymore. It was like I was robbed of my sight. The moment I panicked for a second because of the sudden change in the environment the bat suddenly appeared in front of me and bit me. His appearance changed his body is like a shadow, huge and scary and was burning hot like it was from the fire of hell. His pitch-black eyes changed to a crimson.
"ARGHHH!!!" My blood was getting sucked. I feel like light headed even though I'm a ghoul I still have blood.
*Shing*
I slashed my great sword at him in an attempt to stop him from sucking my blood. He evaded it but at least he let me go.
"Mmmm... Delicious." The bat said he licked his lips.
'If this keeps up I might really die... Well f*ck it
I guess there's no other choice.' I clenched my teeth in frustration.
"Adamas let's beat the hell out of this bat." Adamas nodded his head as a response.
"I can't believe I'm doing this.... [Berserk]."
"AHHHHHH" My eyes busy looking for prey. The insatiable hunger emerged again. My saliva uncontrollably is overflowing.
[{Berseker} has been activated!]
Something change inside me... I want to destroy everything. I feel like I'm becoming evil bit by bit every time I use berserk.
The moment I saw the bat I instantly appeared in front of him.
"Fool, I'll eat you! BOO!" I scared the bat.
The bat shrieked and trembled.
The bat became afraid of the sudden change and retreated.
I bit his one ear and ate it. Adamas used his burning scythe to pierced his wings and bitten off his hands. Then Adamas touched his body and used his skill [Disintegration Touch] corroding his skin exposing his flesh.
"ARGHHH" He screeched in pain.
[Burning effect has been activated.]

[{Berserk} has ended]
"Tsk! The time limit finished too fast." The bat was closed to the death's door. We just need a little push and we can finally kill him.
"[Familiars]." Shadow monsters appeared behind him and attacked us. He was healing himself while his familiars are attacking us.
'I won't let you do that!' I looked at gobu and said.
"Gobu change positions! I'm gonna kill the bat." He nodded.
I dash toward the bat while ignoring the incoming shadow monsters. When I was about to be hit by the shadow monster. Gobu blocked it.
"Leave it to us master," Gobu said.
Anyone who came close to me Gobu and the others protected me.
"Thanks! Now time to finish this. [Gift of Greater Healing]!"
"STOOOOP! NOOOooo-" The bat disintegrates only ashes remained. The darkness that surrounding us is gone now.
[Congratulations! You have killed a Vampire Bat!]
[Skill Learned]
I saw shiny loot where the bat died but I decided to ignore it for now. And focused on reviving the bat.
"[Raise Undead]." I came closer to the bat as I chanted.
[Do you want to revive the Vampire Bat?]
[Y/N]
"Yes."
[Congratulations! You have revived a monster.]
My eyes have been blinded by a light that appeared out of nowhere.
I saw an old man where the bat died kneeling down. He has a beard and a mustache. He has a white clean and neat haircut. He was wearing butler clothes.
"E-eh? A butler?" We're all confused about what's happening right now. But then I remembered I revived the bat.
"Are you possibly... the vampire bat?" He looks up and said.
"Yes, master."
"Then can you tell me why are you a human now wearing butler clothes?"
"It's just a transformation magic master and because I thought it will be rude to let you see my ugly form and that you will prefer a humanoid form." He said in a respectful tone.
"O-okay? Then please stand up." I ordered him then I heard a notification pop up.
[Congratulations! You meet the requirements to evolve! Please choose between these 3 races."]
[Shadow Vampire] [Ancient Human] [High Demon]
"Finally I can evolve! Ancient human? What is that? Oh well, at least it has a human in its name."
"Of course I choose [Ancient Human]"
[Are you sure you want [Ancient Human] as your new race?]
[Y/N]
"Yes!"
[Congratulations! You will now evolve as a {Ancient Human}]
My old appearance came back. My body is brimming with strength and energy than when I was a [Human].
[You have gained the innate ability of the {Ancient Human} {Limit Break}]
"EHHHHHHHH???!!!! I EASILY ACQUIRED THE SKILL? SERIOUSLY?!" I was confused and surprised. But I was happy because I didn't have to go through that hellish experience again just to gain that ability.
