Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : John Snow

"It has been a week since that whole incident, I finally got my family into a more secured home. But I can't keep my guard down, that Crimson Nexus alliance seems to be strong so I better prepare"

Fei Ling heads to the Flame Emperor guild to buy some dungeons access

"I'm here to buy access to some dungeons"

"Please sit down sir, so what dungeon would you like to buy?"

"I'd like 3 B-rank dungeons"

"B-rank dungeons are usually 10,000 gold coins each but seeing the black card membership means you can have them all for 3000 gold coins"

"Oh Fei Ling, looks like you've been busy. Are you thinking of doing the B-Rank dungeon solo?"

"Yes, you're as sharp as always Flame Sovereign"

"I told you to call me Liu Huo, anyways are you sure you can clear B-Rank dungeons on your own? Overconfident could get you killed"

"Just you wait and see"

Fei Ling went to the dungeon site and entered

"Why is it so hot here? Seems like I have to be quick"

Fei Ling starts hunting down every monsters he comes across

"I feel weird, this is supposed to be a B-Rank dungeon but it feels way too weak. Did that bastard scam me?"

"I'll make sure they pay me back every penny"

"I'm already at the boss room?"

"It seems like there's something in the boss room"

Fei Ling walked into the boss room and saw giant stone statues all around him. Some seems to be knights, some seems to be mages but one statue looks different

"There's knights all around me, that statue over there seems to be mages so that one on the throne must be the king but what about that one? It's smaller than the rest, it looks to be the size of a human"

"I have a feeling that they will come to life soon"

Soon enough the statues came to life but it was strange, they don't attack him all at once but rather only the knights starts moving while the others are standing by

"Looking down on me? I'll make sure you regret coming to life you damn rocks"

Fei Ling keeps out attack but it seems none of his attack works

"Shit! My offensive skill is" Iron thread" How could I fight with rocks?"

"Acceleration"

"It worked I can destroy with by changing the form of the iron thread into gloves combined with acceleration"

"This is cheating! Why do you keep on regenerating you rock bastard"

*Fei Ling thinks to himself*

"There must be a way for me to defeat them but what?"

"Wait, the king's crown that must be the artifact that keeps all these bastard immortal"

Fei Ling rushes toward the crown but was blocked by a knight, this knight seems different it seems to be protecting the king

"So you're a guard dog huh? Seems like you won't understand me anyways"

Fei Ling fights with the knight while also destroying the giant knights

"I definitely need more offensive abilities"

Fei Ling smiles as if he had an idea

"Who said I have to defeat these guys, my goal is to destroy that crown but this damn knight won't leave me I guess I'll come up with something"

Fei Ling turn his thread into a spear and threw it at the crown but was destroyed instantly by the Knight but that wasn't his plan, while the knight is distracted Fei Ling used acceleration and hit the crown with full strength

The crown is now destroyed and every statue crumbled but...

"I knew it, this is a B-Rank dungeon of course it's not that easy. So you are the true boss of this dungeon"

Every statue crumbled down except the Knight that was guarding the crown

The knight's power seems to have been unsealed and is now doubled

"Even using all of my souls for my soul Armour he still managed destroy them all with one hit, there's no way I can beat a monster like that. If only I had enough gold to buy an item that could help me"

"The dragon's core! That's right! I was gonna save it for later since they are extremely rare to get and so damn expensive but I will die if I don't use it"

"All of my souls has been absorbed so I can't use Soul blessing"

"With my current body, if I try to absorb the dragon's core I will be destroyed in an instant so instead of absorbing it, I will release it's power"
