"Are you ready?" I asked in a firm voice. Wang Rong and Iris both gave strong nods in response to this before facing the castle that was in front of us.

It had been several days since that time that we fought the dungeon boss at the oasis and now we were finally back to take on the final boss of this dungeon. We were here to take down the Desert Tyrant. However, we were completely different from before. There was this strange energy that we were brimming with as we stood there. This wasn't a form of energy that was natural to our bodies, but rather a form of energy that we accumulated while clearing out this dungeon. It was a kind of energy that was completely different from our normal mana. At the same time, it was the kind of thing that we didn't expect at all. After all, this energy that we were brimming with came from slaughtering the Abyss Demons of this dungeon. We didn't really notice it at first since it wasn't that concentrated to begin with and we didn't get that much as we didn't kill that many Abyss Demons. Most of the Abyss Demons that had been killed were killed off by the sand people that we fought with. But by the third battlefield, it was hard not to notice this. After all, it made our attacks much stronger than they were before. It was as if the more that we killed the Abyss Demons in this dungeon, the stronger that we became. It was some kind of buff that came from slaughtering the Abyss Demons. Because of this, Wang Rong and Iris completely took back the looks of doubt that they cast in my direction. Instead, they both seemed to look at me with gazes of admiration. But those looks of admiration actually hurt since they weren't looks that I actually deserved. I knew that they were looking at me because they thought that this increase in power was all part of my plan. They thought that I had already realized that there was this strengthening effect from killing Abyss Demons in this dungeon, which was why I wanted to attack the Abyss Demons. However, that naturally wasn't the case. I had no idea that this was a thing, it was just an unexpected pleasant surprise. Still, I didn't say anything about this since it would just make their impressions of me worse. The only thing that I could do was take this credit that I really didn't deserve. By the fourth battlefield, we had already reached a point where we could take down large groups of Abyss Demons on our own. Then by the fifth battlefield, we had become one man armies as we charged through the lines of Abyss Demons. The strengthening effect that came from the strange energy really was something else. But other than that, there were more benefits that came from taking down the Abyss Demons. It was the large amount of gold coins that were dropped. With all of the Abyss Demons that were on the battlefield, I almost didn't have enough skeletal rats to pick up all of the gold coins that dropped. But I was able to do it in the end and we were able to use the gold coins to buy quite a few items. The first village didn't offer much, but by the fifth battlefield… There was an entire city that was there and the items that were offered in the city were just something else. There was no doubt that they would be useful in our upcoming battle. Now that we were here, the first thing that we had to do was find a way into the castle. It wasn't that there weren't any ways into the castle. even large gates that were right at the very front of the castle that had been lowered for us. It would have been easy for us to take this gate and enter the castle. However… "That's a trap." That was the one thing that all of us agreed on the moment that we saw this gate. There was no doubt that this was a trap that was laid by the one that was inside of the castle. If we were to actually take this gate, the only thing that would be waiting for us would be an ambush. So it was only natural that we had to find another way in. Even if the Astral White Tiger wanted to go through the main gates. This was time to use one of the items that we brought. Thief Eye Drops. This was an item that when applied to one's eyes, it would guide one along a certain hidden path into the place that they were looking to enter. This was without a doubt a very useful item, but the one complaint was the short duration of this time. It was one that would only last a few minutes and it was very expensive since it was rare, so we didn't have many of these eye drops. But it didn't take long for us to find another way in. It was a way that was buried deep under the sand, but it seemed to be some kind of hidden passage that led right into the castle. It was without a doubt a pleasant surprise. But before entering this tunnel, I looked at the two of them and asked once again, "Are you two ready?" This time, it was different from the way that I asked this previously. This time, I asked them with the conviction of if they were ready to die for this. Only Wang Rong just said with a smile, "Boss, don't you get tired of asking this?" It wasn't that he was joking around, it was his way of saying that he had already made up his mind a long time ago. I looked at Iris and it seemed that she was thinking the same thing. So I led the way forward while feeling a bit embarrassed that I had looked down on them like this.
