Max, meanwhile, was still fighting his way through the dungeon, his crimson blade slicing through monsters with ease. He couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of his revenge plan having more obstacles than he had anticipated, and here he was, having to deal with much stronger enemies than he initially thought, although they were no problems for him after defeating three demon king generals and the dark vampire.
As he made his way down yet another hallway, he heard the sounds of a commotion up ahead. It wasn't the muffled footsteps of monsters, but the distinct footfalls of human beings. Curiosity piqued, Max quickened his pace, his heart pounding in anticipation.
Upon reaching the intersection, Max saw a group of adventurers struggling against two Skeleton Guardians. They were a level 273 mini-boss from the fifth floor, but despite their power, Max knew he could handle them with ease.
He took a step forward, his crimson blade held high, ready for action.
