[Sandworms X10 had died, reward 117,000 DP]

The system kept on notifying him of the DP that he has earned after the hordes of sandworms died on the second floor. These continuous alerts rang in his ears just like a beautiful song and he couldn't help but feel exhilarated.

Pyrophoric Elixir an item available for purchase from the [Shop] of the [Main Menu]. It is an item that contains liquid that ignites in flame when it comes in contact with water. Simon designed the item so that the players could grind mobs of weak monsters in his previous life easily. But the item did not get a positive reaction from the beta players as the might of the elixir was very limited and quickly diminished after some time. The Pyrophoric Elixir didn't work as planned however, this couldn't be said for the monsters of this world.

This time he used hundreds of those bottles of elixirs and smeared them on the ceiling of the second floor. One could imagine the effects of hundreds of these elixirs when used at once would have. The result was monsters getting combusted again and again until they were nothing but a pile of ashes. No matter how they thrashed or tried to put off the fire, in this closed space where everything was covered in pyrophoric liquid there was no way weak monsters would get out of it alive.

One could even say that the way Simon used it was dirty and unscrupulous but who cares, it was his dungeon and they were the ones who were intruding. It was only natural for him to use any methods he thought suitable to defend his dungeon.

Looking at the numbers of the invading monster army which were quietly dwindling a smile crawled up to his face. He felt like he was being rewarded for the work he had done for the visitors as he listened to the continuous alert of the system.

"I couldn't have imagined for you to have prepared such a great gift for me Gelgar. Allow me to repay you for visiting my dungeon with utmost hospitality and make it more fun for you" Simon spoke to himself as he looked at the dungeon window. This was just the starting of a neverending nightmare that Gelgar would find himself into, unable to get out or do anything.

The invading monster group soon found the entrance to the third floor after spreading and probing the whole floor. Since the second floor was much larger than the first floor, it took them more than two hours to find the entrance to the next floor. Under the commands of Mike and Berd, the monsters quickly organized themselves before delving into the third floor. As Gelgar was about to pass through the entrance to the third floor, he suddenly turned around and looked at the empty, dark second floor. He didn't know but he had a feeling that something was amiss but couldn't pinpoint it. Thinking that it was just his imagination, he discarded the thought and swiftly descended the floor.

He soon found the anomaly that plagued him as he reached the third floor. The monster army that organized itself before him was clearly fewer in number from when they entered the dungeon. He didn't even have to think about what happened to them as there was only one possible reason for them to not be present and that was they are all dead.

Gelgar couldn't contain the frustration in his voice as he roared out "What is the meaning of this? how did our numbers decrease this much after only descending two floors". They haven't even descended more than two floors and not even met a single guardian monster but their number was already starting to dwindle. How could he not be mad?

"…" Mike who felt that something had gone amiss during the exploration of the second floor bowed his head and chose to keep quiet. He didn't want to enrage Gelgar any further by making any excuses or such.

Berd hurriedly tried to salvage the situation sensing that it was going downhill "Sir Gelgar, the visibility of the second floor was pretty low which made the traps laid in the dungeon all the more effective. But since the third has plenty of visibility there shall not be any mistakes this time".

Gelgar took a deep breath of air and hurriedly controlled his emotions. He waved his hand and said in a tone that contained a bit of annoyance "Leaving the matter aside, quickly find me the entrance of the fourth floor, and this time make sure not to fall for those petty traps". He turned around after leaving his orders behind and surveyed his surrounding.

"Yes, Sir Gelgar" Mike and Berd replied in unison and started commanding the monster army as they spread and explored the third floor.

This time around the monsters were more aware of the traps inlaid and easily dodged most of them.

As Gelgar surveyed his surroundings he noticed that the third floor was similar to the second floor but was much wider and the ceiling had phosphorescence crystal protruding that lit the floor.. "Hmph I don't know how much DP you spent creating the floors but I know one thing that the DP available to a mere lowborn Demon Baron cant be higher than mine" he said with his brows knit together and started walking and exploring the floor.
