Because he had achieved his goal, August's mood became very good.
Looking at the advanced draw he obtained, the temptation for August, a gambling enthusiast, was simply at the MAX level.
In the end, August couldn't resist and, while walking, opened the system draw panel.
With an excited heart, August started this draw.
[First draw: Gate of Babylon King's Treasure!]
[Second draw: Armament Haki!]
Compared to regular draws, the chances of getting good items in advanced draws were much higher.
Watching the large roulette wheel spinning continuously, August's emotions were extremely excited.
This was a common trait among gambling enthusiasts.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained an item: Monster Spawn Pack!]
August was momentarily stunned. He drew a pack?
Subconsciously, August chose to open the pack.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a rare item: Water Candle!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a rare item: Peace Candle!]
[Water Candle: Greatly increases the spawning speed of surrounding monsters!]
[Peace Candle: Greatly reduces the spawning speed of surrounding monsters!]
Looking at these two so-called rare items, August suddenly had a strange feeling.
As a fan of sandbox games, "Terraria," a legendary game, was a game that August had once been addicted to.
Water Candle, wasn't that the candle item inside dungeons?
And Peace Candle, wasn't it something that could be crafted with a Pink Torch and Gold Bar or Platinum Bar at a workbench?
What does this mean? It meant that he had crossed into an anime world, and the items from the game could manifest here.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Ais saw the two candles in August's hands and looked at him with confusion.
Two candles, one blue and one pink, looked quite interesting.
"Nothing, just wanted to get a drink, grabbed the wrong thing."
August, with a poker face, threw the two candles into the treasury, then took out two cans of coke.
He handed one can of coke to Ais, forcefully changing the subject.
Ais didn't think too much and took the coke, starting to drink.
At this moment, August began to contemplate. These two candles, with completely opposite effects, might not be useful in other worlds, but in this world, they were definitely powerful tools.
The Water Candle could increase monster spawn speed significantly, allowing for continuous monster farming and the best money-making option.
As for the Peace Candle, it didn't need to be said. In the dungeon, it was never truly safe as long as there were powerful monsters. The dungeon was alive and would show its fangs when adventurers were at their weakest.
Having a Peace Candle was equivalent to having a life-saving card. In a critical moment, it might save your life.
"Ais, I have an idea."
"Huh?"
"Where's the passage to the next floor?"
"It's over there!"
"Hurry up!"
August grabbed Ais's hand and ran quickly towards that direction.
For the first time, Ais was caught by a man, and subconsciously, she felt something subtle. Her face turned slightly red, but she didn't retract her hand. She didn't mind August grabbing her hand.
Quickly crossing the eighteenth floor, August arrived at the nineteenth floor.
This tier was already considered the lower tier.
Monsters below the eighteenth floor were at least level 2. This was why the safety tier on the eighteenth floor was so important.
This tier acted as a watershed. Reaching here wasn't considered a great achievement, but crossing it to go deeper was the real deal.
"Let's settle here."
Choosing a spot, August looked around. It was quite spacious. He then took out the Water Candle and ignited it.
*Creak* *Creak* *Creak*
Immediately, the surrounding ground and walls started to move, and monsters crawled out one after another.
"Monster Feast?"
Ais was instantly shocked, but her tone carried a hint of doubt.
After all, most monster feasts were a large number of a single type of monster. However, there were at least three different types of monsters here. Could it be a special monster feast?
"Hey, hey, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"
Sweat dripped from August's forehead. These were all level 2 monsters. With so many of them, it would be quite challenging for him.
However, as he glanced at Ais on the side, the masculine hormones in August's body began to surge.
Any man, when there's a beautiful woman present, would want to show his strong and heroic side. August was no exception.
Buzz~
The Gate of Babylon unfolded completely. Doors opened, and sword and weapon extensions protruded.
"Attack, welcome the firepower suppression!"
With a word, all the weapons shot out like arrows, heading towards the monsters.
Boom~
Splatter~
Smack~
Originally prepared to take action, Ais, seeing this scene, slowly released her grip on the sword handle.
*ROOOOOAR*
A swift and agile saber-toothed tiger broke through the bombing zone of the Gate of Babylon and rushed towards August.
Seeing this, August smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the Elucidator was brought out from the golden light ripples.
"Come on!"
Clang~
The sword clashed with the saber-toothed tiger's fangs. However, it was different from the previous battle against the minotaur. Upgraded to level 2, August had completed a transformation, advancing his strength to a higher level.
Just like the saber-toothed tiger in front of him, as the King of Beasts, its strength was now evenly matched with August, or even slightly surpassed.
After all, although August was a newly promoted level 2, he was not an ordinary level 2. Breaking all limits, all attributes had reached an unprecedented 1500.
The foundation was completely different. Although he was a newly promoted level 2, August could definitely compete and even surpass most veteran level 2! He had an absolute advantage.
Swoosh~
However, the saber-toothed tiger's weapon wasn't just its fangs.
After a moment of confrontation with no result, the saber-toothed tiger raised its claws and swept towards August.
"Armament Haki!"
A dark purple aura rose from August's body, and his skin turned pitch-black.
Clang~
The tiger's claws collided with August's skin, making a sound as if swords were clashing.
"What is this?"
Watching all this, Ais, shocked, saw an ability she had never seen before.
Ding~
With a powerful right kick, under the enhancement of Armament Haki, August kicked the saber-toothed tiger flying.
Following that, a sword descended from the sky, directly piercing the saber-toothed tiger's head.
Most of the surrounding monsters were cleared in a short time.
However, just as August was about to catch his breath, monsters quickly crawled out of the ground and walls.
This made August's eyes widen. He had unleashed all his firepower, and you're refreshing again?
But the terrifying thing had just begun. After a batch of monsters crawled out, it didn't end. The second batch of monsters started crawling out immediately.
August was shocked. The effect of this Water Candle was too powerful.
However, before he could be shocked, August was already surrounded by densely packed monsters.
For a moment, August felt like crying without tears.
Showing off his true self, he didn't expect such a backfire.
So many monsters, even if it was the True Gate of Babylon, it would take some time.
Deciding on his course of action, August took out his last trump card!
Taking a deep breath, then...
"Ais! Help!!!"
