Chapter 22 Floor 40
After sometime, Victor got to the door that led to the next floor. On the 30th floor, Victor noticed that the terrain was still made up of land for the majority of it, and only from time to time did he encounter water. Also, compared to the other floors this one was smaller.
He continued his descent, through the floors without any problems. Any monster he encountered only took one touch to kill, or a single bite, and they were dead. Apart from that, most of the weaker monsters avoided him, so the whole journey was smooth and rather easy.
Finally, Victor arrived at the door that lead to the 40th floor, and as he entered the path down, he couldn’t wait to see what kind of monsters he would be facing.
‘This sure is exciting.’ Victor said in his mind, as he descended the path.
Finally getting to the 40th floor, Victor was a bit disappointed as even after walking for some minutes, he had encountered no monsters.
“I thought there’ll be high level monsters crawling everywhere. Guess I expected too much, huh?”
Victor continued on his path through the floor, this time without a map to guide him. The map device became useless as soon as he came into the 40th floor, so all he could do was explore while following his instincts.
After a while more of walking around, Victor finally encountered his first monster.
[Grey Lycan Level 50]
Looking at the creature, Victor was nothing short of impressed. It’s mere form eluded power and strength, and it’s appearance was ferocious. But, seeing as it was a level 50, Victor wasn’t expecting much from it, but he quickly decided on what to do.
The beast of a monster looked exactly like a werewolf, standing on two legs with a height of at least two and a half metres. It’s animalistic features far dominated it’s appearance, and it looked aggressive without needing to confront it. It was the perfect creature one would wish not to have at a dance party, instead, a vampire would be more welcomed.
The moment the beast noticed Victor, it started growling as more of its skin tearing teeth were exposed. Victor just stood still waiting for the beast to attack, but it didn’t immediately. After a few more seconds, Victor began walking towards it trying to bait it into attacking. Surely, the beast took the bait and dashed forward with speed far exceeding its size.
‘Thought werewolves were a bit slower than vampires.’ Victor thought to himself. Though, at that moment he remembered quite a few times werewolves were depicted to be faster. ‘Guess it all depends on he who makes the movie.’ Victor said in his mind as he side stepped the beast’s attack and cleanly avoided it’s claws..
‘No shit.’ The claws were at least twice as long as the ‘White Mountain Tiger’s’ and as a proof of its strength and sturdiness, the grey lycan was able to effortlessly destroy part of the cave wall on impact.
After defending and dodging the grey lycan’s attacks for a bit more, Victor was sure he wanted to get his hands on the beast’s material. He was still superior when it came to stats, but the raw power the beast showed was definitely something. ‘If I combine a bit of this guy to the tiger, or similar, I should get something interesting, for sure.’ Victor thought to himself.
Now, after accessing the opponent’s strength, Victor was ready to do away with the beast. It was yet to use any of it’s skills, but Victor wasn’t interested.
The part of the cave where their little fight was going on was a tunnel-like space, but it was big and spacious enough for them to jump around without much problem.
The grey lycan attempted to pounce on Victor, but Victor leapt towards the cave wall to the right side, then just as the beast touched ground Victor also pushed off of the wall and shot with considerable speed, sinking his fingers deep into the beast’s flesh after tearing through the hide easily.
He had dug his fingers just behind the beast’s shoulder, as before the grey lycan could react and retaliate, Victor dug in more of his hand, and ripped off the flesh that went from the shoulder down to it’s tail. Victor then leaped back a few metres, and with no hesitation chugged down the chunk of flesh before the beast.
[New sample detected. Analysing sample]
“Hmm.”
Victor waited for a while, as neither he nor the beast launched an attack. Just over ten seconds later, Victor noticed the wound he had just inflicted on the grey lycan’s back healing. “So this is the healing ability of the werewolves, not bad. But not fast either.
In one move, too fast for the grey lycan to notice, Victor appeared above the beast and with a powerful punch sent it face first into the ground. Due to the lycan’s powerful tenacity and life-force, it hadn’t died from the attack, so as Victor landed just beside it, he dug two of his hands into the beast’s neck and tore it’s head from it’s body, instantly killing it.
What was the need for senseless blood spilling you ask? It was because it was possible.
“Maybe I’ll add this guys claws to my hands. I really need a weapon.” Victor said, as he took a seat beside the corpse.
Without prayers, Victor dug into the lycan’s flesh and began ingesting evolution material upon material.

“System, I can drop materials that I won’t use right?” Victor asked.
After a while, he was sure that the materials he would collect would become an unending list. “Come to think of it, I’m immortal. Plus I can’t be killed, so, this shit will become endless.” fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
[Yes. Disposing of evolution material is possible]
“Good. I will have to drop some in the future.” f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
As Victor kept going on the path, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
“Something’s here, close.”
