Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: The Dungeon of Undeads! Part-3.
“I don’t really get it… Why aren’t those undead attacking the monsters? Don’t all undead hate the living and attack anything that is alive, human and monster alike?”

At Risa’s question, Mark nodded his head and said in a confused tone,

“What you said is indeed the truth; this is the first time I am seeing a phenomenon like that. I haven’t read about something like this in any books either…”

Even Mark had no idea what was going on.

The group entered the dungeon just half an hour ago.

Many others had already cleared and occupied the entire first and second floors of the dungeon.

A lot of people come to this dungeon to hunt down monsters and earn money by selling their corpses in the city.

So when Jareth and the others entered, they found that the first two floors had too many people, and it wasn’t a good idea to train there.

Thus, they went deeper, bypassed the third floor, and finally stopped at the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is the second-deepest floor of this dungeon, and mostly monsters of grade 4 or above wander in this place.

There are extremely few grade-4 individuals in the whole of Bastille, so this floor hasn’t been conquered even once yet.

You would need a full party of peak grade-4 individuals to conquer this floor, but there really aren’t any such parties in Bastille.

As for the fifth floor, no one has even been there yet.

There may have been someone strong enough to conquer this dungeon in the past, but even if you manage to conquer the entire dungeon once,

Monsters will flock into it eventually as time passes, and there is likely at least one or two Grade 3 monsters in this dungeon’s deepest areas.

For this reason, the city frequently dispatches veterans to patrol the outer area of the fourth floor, monitoring the movements of the monsters.

And in the event that a strong monster attempts to emerge from the dungeon, the city will immediately deploy its strongest defenses to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

‘If not for the fact that this dungeon is important for the economy of Bastille, I would have just smashed this whole thing with a giant mana beam and leveled the whole dungeon down…’

‘That way, no new monsters will enter it, and the hidden danger of grade-3 monsters attacking the city will be eliminated…’

‘But I guess I shouldn’t do so; I should just mind my own business, get Mark and Risa some decent training, and leave…’

Jareth glanced at his system panel for a moment.

…

Initially, Jareth possessed ‘5100’ credit points due to his frequent plundering of Allen.

Then he went ahead and interfered with Ensha and Azul, thus changing the plot even further. He also stole a very powerful item from Allen this time, so it also added more points.

Thus, the number of points he has now reached is twenty thousand!

‘Alas, when I killed that assassination organization, it didn’t give me any points, which means that those people weren’t really relevant to the plot…’

‘Nonetheless, I just need to collect a few thousand more, and then I can buy a new gold lottery again…’

Last time Jareth bought a gold lottery, he immediately improved his mana purity to the max.

Thus, he’s looking forward to getting something that can boost his powers further.

He needs to get as strong as possible if he wants to survive the inevitable great calamity.

‘In a world where your own parents might kill you at any moment for the sake of benefits, it’s always good to aim to become stronger… This world is too corrupted, so I won’t feel any regrets for leaving this place…’

Jareth shook his head, glanced at Mark and Risa, and then spoke.

“The two of you… Go, conquer this whole floor; I have already scanned it with my mana detection; only the boss monster of this floor is a semi-grade 3 monster; the rest are all grade-4…”

“Which means that this place is an ideal training ground for you two… Aside from that, if something happens to student Risa, then don’t bother coming back, student Mark…”

“I want you two to reach the boss room in three days in a single piece; you aren’t allowed to fail this test…”

Mark and Risa both nodded their heads solemnly and then hurriedly left to explore the dungeon.

At this point, only Jareth and Aria were left standing alone.

While Jareth was busy contemplating what to do next, Aria was already having a heart attack.

‘AHHHH! I have to stay alone with a walking ballistic nuclear missile that can blast at any moment!? T-this…’

Aria gulped her saliva and tried to remain as quiet as possible while chanting in her mind.

‘I am a worm on the wall; please don’t notice me; I have no presence! My ancestor-‘

Before Aria could finish her prayers to her ancestors, a giant skeleton holding a bone spear and sitting on the back of a mutated pig-type monster rushed at them from a nearby corridor.

Undead are fearless creatures; they attack any living being without hesitation; thus, the undead attacked Jareth and Aria even after sensing their strong aura.

Every time the giant pig monster jumped, it created a loud noise, which interfered with Jareth’s thoughts and caused him to get irritated.

‘Will you shut the f*ck up!!’

Jareth bent his waist a bit and punched the pig monster in the head with the usual cold look on his face.

That ’99’ strength stat in Jareth’s stats panel is no joke; that punch was so strong that the pig monster died in an instant as its body burst apart like a balloon from the impact of that punch.

It was barely a grade-intermediate-grade-4 monster; such a strong punch was beyond its defenses.

So it died in an instant.

Aria just couldn’t believe what she saw at that moment, and she was shocked to the point that she had no words to speak.
