Villain With The Strongest System

Chapter 320 Floor 24

"Open System Shop" Rocky muttered under his breath, as after researching Floor 24 non-stop for a few hours, Rocky decided that it was finally time for him to buy some of the items available in the system store for purchase.

As usual, the system panel appeared before his eyes, showing his SP balance refreshed at 30.

Furthermore, the shop had a wide variety of unseen items this time, with a blatant theme catered towards dealing with illusions.

( A couple days later )

A couple days later, with barely any rest, the team was forced to go on yet another Tower Run, this time to floor 24 which was a world covered with ghouls, formless souls and never-ending darkness.

And immediately upon their arrival onto the floor, they were given the most absurd of missions by the floor master.

Asked to retrieve a 'Death Crystal' from one of the strongest necromancers living locally on the floor, the team were put on a collision course against a tier5 being that was much stronger than themselves yet again.

"Man... I swear these floor administrators seem to have some grudge against us, because, if not.... I can't understand why they would give us such impossible missions!" Kronos complained, as he did not feel happy about the mission at all.

"Buhara agrees, no other adventurer party faces as much danger as we do on every floor.... It's clear discrimination–" Buhara complained, as Rocky grit his teeth in anger.

Somewhere deep down, Rocky knew that the reason behind his team getting such dangerous missions had to be him, however, it pissed him nonetheless, that the odds were always stacked against them.

"Thankfully, the mission doesn't specify that we must kill the necromancer, which means that we can try to sneak in and steal the crystal too...." Erin said, trying to find a silver lining in this grim situation, as he tried to liven up the situation as best as he could.

"How do you even kill a necromancer? Those guys are long dead, no?" Kronos asked, scratching his head, as to him necromancers were already dead beings that had no soul, but just a husk of a physical form.

However, he was just confusing necromancers with undead liches, who were actually dead and just summoned to the physical world via dark magic.

"No you're wrong, actually—" Erin began, trying to clear Kronos's doubt, however, Rocky cut him mid sentence.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the necromancer is dead or alive.

If he's alive, we kill him.

If he's dead, we make him more dead than he already is.

Regardless, our goal remains the same, so let's get a move" Rocky instructed, as not wanting to waste any time on pointless banter, he got the team to start on the floors quest at once.
