Gods' Impact Online-Chapter 340 338- Struggles to Reach Level 100

[Congratulations! You have cleared the 50th floor! Proceed through the portal to enter the next floor or retreat!]

SIGH!

"I just soloed 50 floors and barely level up by 2. EXP gain in this game is truly broken," Zach groaned.

[My liege, what level do you think you will reach by the end of this dungeon expedition?] Cerberus asked.

"Judging by the EXP distribution so far, I am leaning on maybe 3 more levels," Zach responded.

[You are currently level 93, so 3 more levels would make you a level 96. Didn't you say you want to reach level 100 today?]

"I did. What of it? I don't know the EXP gain, and the EXP bar is ridiculously long. No wonder the gods gave up after level 100. Not going to lie, I am excited to see what comes after level 100 since they said they were going to get rid of the EXP in the latest update," Zach muttered.

When Zach was in a slumber, the gods pushed another update to the game that made the game even more realistic and added many limitations to the players by removing the automatic game mechanism.

Now, they had to do everything manually that would consume their time, such as taking a bath was no longer available on the menu. They also need to go to the toilet to relieve themself from worldly matters.

The update wasn't a big deal for Zach as he already used to do everything manually, and he was, in fact, happy after seeing the changes in the leveling up system.

That was the reason why Zach had decided to level up suddenly before the gods pushed another update and messed up the leveling system again.

"To be honest, I hope I can level up 5 in the next 50 floors," Zach wished and proceeded to the next floor.

[Still, you would be level 98 after that.]

"Stop it, Cerberus. You are not helping by mentioning it again and again."

Zach conjured a bow and arrow and charged it. He waited for the monsters to spawn and began shooting them as soon as possible.

The monsters were wolves with horns and wings and bigger in size. But it only took one arrow for Zach to hunt them down. However, they could dodge in the air at high speed since they had wings.

The numbers of monsters were also high, and unlike the dungeon floors on the lower realm, these dungeon floors spawned monsters in waves. So technically, one floor of the dungeon of the higher realm was 5 floors of the lower realms dungeon, but with deadly monsters and higher difficulty.

However, Zach was, of course, unfazed by all that. He had grown strong enough to shoot any monsters except the bosses. He had filled his MP by cultivating, and he could use his DT skill to turn anything into ashes.

If he was cornered, he could use the blessings, which allowed him to wield an unfathomable amount of power. He had nothing to worry about except the EXP gain from each floor which was frustrating.

ZAP! ZAP!

Zach loaded the arrows with lightning and shot the wolves at a crazy speed, which was faster than an assault rifle. And Zach's hand movement was inhumane in every way.

Cerberus, who was waiting for a chance to aid Zach, slowly stepped back and hid in the corner in fear of getting hit by one of the arrows.

Within five minutes, Zach defeated over 500 wolves and cleared the floor.

SIGH!

"I could clear the entire dungeon again, but the freaking gods decreased the EXP gain to 10% of the EXP gain compared to the first time, in the first update."

Zach absorbed the weapon and stretched his hands in the air.

YAWN~

He then opened his menu and looked at the time.

"Hmm~" He hummed in amusement and muttered, "Nearly an hour has passed since we entered this dungeon. By now, there will be boss floors every 5 floors, so they will take more time."

"Cerberus, what do you—" Zach glanced to his side to ask Cerberus, but much to his surprise, he wasn't standing there. "Hmm?"

He turned around to see Cerberus hiding behind the block.

"What are you doing…?" Zach asked with a confused look on his face.

[I was afraid of getting shot by one of those arrows,] he replied as he came out from hiding.

"Why would they hit you?"

[Since you were shooting them down so fast even when they were also fast and leaping on you, I expected a possibility of you accidentally shooting me down.]

"Ahaha!" Zach laughed out loud and uttered, "That won't happen. Your color is different from them, and even if I somehow shoot you, you won't die."

[I am aware of that, but I would get hurt.]

"Oh?" Zach smirked from the corner of his lips and teased, "So you are afraid of the pain? Getting hit by one of my arrows would be like getting pricked by a needle for you." 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

[I… am not afraid of the pain. But if I get hurt, I wouldn't be able to assist you in the battle when you need me,] Cerberus replied in a remorseful voice.

"..." Zach felt a little guilty for making fun of Cerberus. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

SIGH!

"Your loyalty sometimes makes me question my authority on you. I am delighted to have a pet like you," Zach said with a smile on his face.

[Pet?] Cerberus bowed down and uttered, [My liege, I am but you humble slave. Please do not feel any—]

"I consider you as my pet," Zach interjected.

[....]

"..."

[And I consider you as my God, My liege. Your words are my order. So please, use me.]

Zach patted Cerberus on the head and said, "If you feel frightened, you can hide in my shadow."

[Yes, my liege.]

Zach glanced at the two portals and uttered, "Alright. The break has ended. It is time to proceed further!"

[Yes, my liege!]

Zach and Cerberus entered the next floor.
