Esdras smiled, this was a good day for sure. And it wasn't over yet, he planned to completely explore this floor and at least find the boss room on this night.

He had no choice but to hurry along, the outside world was in a state of turbulence that simply didn't allow him to take his sweet time.

Turning around he picked up his mace and moved on, he didn't want to be caught in pinch again. The hallways and corners of this seemingly endless pyramid were mostly peaceful.

He did not feel sorry for killing the monsters that way at all, they were monsters that tried to kill him, there was no place for sympathy in that regard.

After an hour he chanced upon another door leading to another room. He knew it was probably a trap like the last one but his instincts as a gamer kicked in and he had to check it out.

The door lead to a small square room that had only a stone platform where a treasure chest laid in clear view.

Esdras had a skeptical expression since he knew to expect traps in this place already, obviously he didn't rush in. He tested the ground by throwing several pebbles, nothing happened.

He broke the hinges of the door and took a clear look at the entire room, it was just as empty as it seemed and didn't really have any place where anyone or anything could hide.

There was no reaction from his [Veteran's hunch], so Esdras walked in holding his mace at the ready. But he did not approach the platform from the front but the side.

Esdras kicked the chest off the platform and jumped in the air to catch it, he caught it landed and rolled right outside the room. However, he didn't expect multiple holes to open up in the room from all sides.

Several arrows were shot at all sides, three arrows pierced Esdras in the back despite being outside. Bleeding from the back he crawled out of the arrows range.

If he had known he wouldn't have broken the door. Unfortunately there was no if in life.

Esdras wasn't too hurt by the arrows actually, they were shallow wounds. His body was already incredibly powerful at this point.

He decided not to used any Heath potions because it wasn't necessary and to test his passive skill [Vitality Lv.2], he wanted to see what kind of healing power he had.

It was important to better understand his own abilities so that he could best use them later on.

[Amulet of protection: uncommon grade item, after bonding with the it, it will cast a protective barrier passively at the cost of 1 mana per three hours. It can be used to actively cast Mana barrier once a day.]

It was in the shape of a silver flower with a blue gem in the center, it was both elegant and simple. More importantly it was extremely practical.

It was a perfect gift for Celine since she lacked any training for close combat.

Esdras didn't need it, he was mostly a close quarter combatant anyway, for now that is.

He continued his exploration and finally found what he was looking for. It was a grand hall of staircases, three to be exact.

One was in the middle and the most prominent, the two others flanked it on both sides and bent around the one in the center.

The difference between them was that the two staircases on the sides went up and joined into one giant staircase, the one in the center went downwards.

Esdras knew the way to the boss room was upwards not down. So, he resisted his curiosity and decided to go upwards instead of exploring since he already spent so much time in the dungeon and tomorrow was a big day.

He could choose any one of the staircases that lead upwards so he chose the closest one to him. Everything was going smoothly until he was about to reach the point where the two staircases merged.

He heard a distinct clinking noise and the stairs he was on flipped and turned into a smooth slide, he reacted when it was too late.

There was an oil-like substance oozing out of the gaps that only made things worse for him.

"Fuck!"

He thought he could just take the hit when he crashed down but unexpectedly he saw a hole appear at the end of the slide. Without being able to resist he was flung through.

The tunnel he went in had no turns or bends, just a straight forward path.

However Esdras was not one to let things happen without trying anything, he summoned hie strength and unleashed the entirety of his Vigor in his entire body.

He then stabbed his mace into the walls of the sliding tunnel and heard a devastating collision as the walls and his mace met with at speed and power it drilled into the walls but it wasn't enough to stop him.

He was going too fast but he held on and slowed down, until he finally came to a stop. Feeling his arms about to give in he opened his eyes only to witness a bright light.

He was literally two steps away from an great ravine. If he didn't stop in time…

Esdras sat down, drank a Stamina potion and decided the only way to get out of this situation is to get back up the way he came.

With his enhanced body he climbed up and used the destruction caused by his mace to lever himself up, the gravity worked against him and made the climb much harder.

When he finally got out he was in for another surprise, he was back at the entrance of the pyramid somehow. It was unknown how this worked.

After he got out the hole he climbed out of closed up and completely vanished giving him the illusion that it never existed in the first place.
