In the open maze-like passageways.

Shouts like the roar of beasts rang out from time to time.

Under the soft light of alternating silver and yellow hues.

It is a powerful and energetic body!

"Boom!"

Roger unleashed a powerful, head-on slash.

The seemingly solid Ruby Golem shattered into pieces like porcelain!

"Splash!"

Stones fell to the ground one by one.

It created an ethereal echo.

"You have killed one Ruby Golem."

"You cannot obtain XP"

"You have obtained 3 Superior Ruby Shard".

You have obtained some Hardened Clay.

"Damn it!"

"No experience, no attributes, are you trying to get something for nothing?"

Roger was somewhat indignant.

This may be related to the nature of the maze.

However, "Superior Ruby" is a good thing, belonging to rare materials.

Normally, this thing only appears on high-level constructs.

This demonstrates the extravagance of the celestial palace.

They ignored the gargoyle's eager gaze.

Roger strode towards the other Ruby Golem.

He needs to familiarize himself with every detail of the Second Form as quickly as possible during the transformation period.

The Ruby Golem its clumsy and unyielding nature, is perfect for practicing.

then.

Surrounded by a group of muscular men.

Roger fought passionately against the Ruby Golem all by himself.

"Martial arts can still be used, but their effectiveness has been greatly reduced."

"After all, the Qi is sealed, so the sliding tackle and Shattering Palm can't be used, and the Qi Master's expertise is also sealed."

"Half of the skill and feat list is grayed out, but fortunately the feats obtained from Sin Mark are all usable."

"After transforming, the lightning attack effects are increased by 80%, which is not bad!"

And so, in a series of battles that were not particularly intense.

Roger silently summarized his experience.

It wasn't until the twelfth Ruby Golem shattered with a crash.

He then stopped.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Second Form are actually quite obvious.

After transforming, he becomes essentially a smaller version of the Thunder Dragon! He not only has an extremely high HP bonus, but also inherits excellent attributes such as 100% magic resistance.

The Second Form is very fast, powerful, and has extremely high defense.

When he beat the Ruby Golem, he would often unleash a burst of lightning with each claw strike.

The Ruby Golem was electrocuted terribly.

The opponent's multi-armed attacks were like tickling the scales, hardly causing any real damage.

This characteristic makes the Second Form very suitable for head-on melee combat and gives it the ability to take on multiple opponents.

However, its shortcomings are also quite prominent.

That is, slow reaction and somewhat clumsy.

You can easily become someone's kite if you're not careful.

The thick tail, which serves as a powerful weapon, could also become a weak point for the enemy.

In general.

Roger was quite satisfied.

The Second Form fulfilled all his fantasies about a muscular version of himself, despite his frail physique.

This was a thrilling and exhilarating hand-to-hand combat session.

He felt that his soul had already taken the shape of Thunder Dragon.

But very quickly.

He became wary.

Take a moment to calm down.

Roger suppressed his growing urge to fight and ordered his underlings to get to work.

"Work in groups of three, and split up to carry out the operation."

"Remember to report any special circumstances."

Roger briefly outlined the next steps.

In the absence of intelligence.

Exhaustive search is the only solution.

The Quasi-Horned Demon quickly sprang into action, dispersing in an orderly fashion to every corner of the maze.

Roger could determine their approximate location using the contract on his body.

Seeing that all the muscular younger brothers had found jobs.

The gargoyle hurriedly rubbed its trouser leg.

"You?"

Roger chuckled, "You all go and farm the golems, one by one."

The gargoyle looked utterly astonished.

The next second.

Roger took out another Gargoyle Statue and decisively chose "Destruction"! Familiar black mist rose up.

Before his pair of scarlet eyes could even blink a few times, he was slapped to the ground by a hand that seemed to fall from the sky! Roger started slapping him wildly without saying a word.

It smashed this level 29 Elite Gargoyle into pieces!

At the moment of its death.

A ring of intense golden light burst forth from its belly! With a "whoosh".

Countless Copper Coin and Silver Horn down and piled up into a small hill!

It also contains some equipment, items, scrolls, and books.

Roger couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

The look in their eyes toward the Frostheart Gargoyle now held a hint of ill intent.

Without saying a word, the latter flew to the pieces and began to eat them in silence.

A moment later.

"Your servant, the Frost Gargoyle, has had its quality upgraded."

"Frostwinter Gargoyle LV40 Magical Beast/Elite"

Gargoyles that devour their own kind acquire the prefix "Winter".

It's starting to look more and more like the White Dragon.

The Qi Divination Technique revealed this.

This guy gained three new skills at once: "Ice Ring Spell", "Novice Armor Disintegration", and "Summon Kindred".

Ice Ring Spell is easy to understand and is a good control spell.

Armor Breakdown is the nemesis of those turtle-shell warriors—if it had this ability early on, it would be much more efficient at farming Johnny Turtle.

As for Summon Kindred, Roger looked at the list and saw that it could now summon three LV20 novice gargoyles to serve it.

He climbed his way up from the bottom to become a contractor.

"Now I won't be imprisoned by some lousy cat anymore, right?"

Roger scratched its head vigorously.

The latter was so moved that he was trembling all over.

Large amounts of Ice Element spread out uncontrollably, freezing the nearby floor.

"Go, get to work."

After issuing the hunting order to the gargoyle.

Roger himself randomly chose a path, embarking on a long and arduous journey of tackling the maze head-on.

Four days later.

Roger led his men back to the Underground Camp.

After actively deactivating the Second Form.

The Monster Expert's daily research work has begun again.

that's all.

Roger began a life of constantly switching between the three identities of "Monster Expert", "Enemy of Necromancers" and "Labyrinth Hardman".

As time goes by.

There are fewer and fewer necromancers lurking in the forest.

Roger's Monster Compendium also goes up to page 516.

He had touched almost every monster on the outskirts of the forest.

Unfortunately, we have never been able to find a better attribute.

Roger had considered venturing deeper into the forest.

But between the outer edge and the depths of the forest, there is a "Scar of Death" that seems to stretch endlessly! It is a riverbed that has long since dried up—no matter how heavy the rain, it cannot leave a trace on it.

The riverbed was littered with white bones.

Even necromancers dared not approach.

Roger knew.

Below this Scar of Death lies the "Bondrey River" that Alan once mentioned! It was once the upper reaches of the Serra River.

Although it is now dry, it is just as dangerous as the Serra River.

No one can cross the boundary.

Roger had observed the situation at the Scar of Death from a distance and recorded some data.

As of now, there's still no progress.

In the blink of an eye.

More than five months have passed since Roger entered the Primitive Forest.

Besides his good brother Thunder Dragon.

He obtained a large quantity of materials and information on hundreds of monsters in this place.

However, because of the presence of the Scar of Death.

His research progress has reached a bottleneck.

There are no more new monsters to be found in the forest.

Roger knew it was time to leave.

"After all, the six-month agreement I made with Alan before I left is almost up."

However, before leaving.

He needs to do one more thing.

This thought came to mind.

Roger skillfully twirled the Asgard Ring—

He had actually found the exit of the maze last time, but he was too busy to kill the leader of the Ruby Golem guarding the entrance.

This time.

It's time to clear the first level of the Endless Labyrinth!

Rumble! The sound of stones shattering echoed from the depths of the maze.

He was surrounded and beaten by the crowd.

The Ruby Golem leader, along with his minions, contributed the only Ruby Shard and Hardened Clay had.

Appearing before Roger.

It is Teleportation Gate to the next level and a glowing stone platform.

Three glowing objects floated on the stone platform.

This is the reward for clearing the first level.

Roger glanced at it and grabbed the first item. The other two items vanished instantly.

The stone platform slowly descended.

Roger opened his hand, revealing a small metal card.
