The rest of the fifth passes rather peacefully without even a single one of the competitors being able to so much as crack my ice. Leaving me and Sapphire lazing around inside of our dome for hours upon hours until both us and the other competitors are teleported back into the stadium with a notification in our vision.
Beta Administrator Dungeon Notification
Congratulations on completing the third fifth of the Second Centurion Quinzel!
As a result of your success within the third fifth, you have earned a special reward that you will learn about when the final fifth of the Second Centurion Quinzel comes around.
Nice. Now moving on to the fourth fifth.
I yawn for a moment before glancing at the other competitors, none of whom look very happy.
Not my problem.
Anyways, the fourth fifth of the Second Centurion Quinzel comes and passes rather quickly in the form of a quiz show about The Reaper of all things. With the bottom ten percent of participants in terms of how fast and accurate they answered being disqualified.
Of course, I manage to win the thing in first place. Mostly because I know more about The Reaper than anyone else other than progenitors.
Although I can’t help but wonder what the fact that this quinzel thing has a quiz show about The Reaper means about Beelzebub’s universe. Seeing as it implies everyone there is familiar with him at least a little bit.
Enough to have a quiz show about him and expect people to actually be able to participate.
It definitely goes to show that other universes are different from ours.
A frown stretches across my face as I glance at the victory notification about winning the fourth fifth, which doesn’t say anything about a reward. As a thought comes to mind about what would’ve happened to me if I were born in some other universe rather than The Reaper’s.
Would I have grown this powerful?
Probably not.
Absolutely not.
The reason I’m this strong now and a pseudo progenitor is mostly because of the Administrator Dungeon. No matter how much I dislike the thing. Not to mention those people watching me go through my day every day.
A faint smile stretches across my face as I think of how things will be once I finally get out of this stupid dungeon.
Specifically the days I won’t be livestreamed to everyone for their entertainment.
It’ll be nice to have privacy again.
For now though…
Another notification appears in my vision.
…it’s time for another raid boss.
Beta Administrator Dungeon Notification
Welcome to the final fifth of the Second Centurion Quinzel!
It’s time to take a trip down memory lane!!
This fifth is a simple one.
Defeat the five mini bosses that will each spawn in rather memorable locations.
These mini bosses are each mini bosses or bosses that one of the competitors has fought before, and they will be fought in locations exactly like the place where they fought them.
However, as a reward for claiming victory in the third fifth, the user Wolf Adler will be given a specific item that they will find useful in the final fight of the fifth.
Good luck and do not drown in the past!
System Favor: As the user is the only user within the Centurion Quinzel, all five of the mini bosses will be based on the user’s own past battles.
Uh, what?
I’m not given any time to think about it before I find myself, and all of the other contestants, being teleported into a large prison. One that looks like an exact copy of the first floor mini boss room of the Administrator Dungeon. Except larger.
Much, much larger.
And just like with the mini boss room of the first floor, there is a large throne at the center of the prison and numerous jail cells along each of the walls. Each filled with bones, and with the mini boss itself seated on the throne at the center.
My eyes narrow a little as I identify the monster.
-|Skeletal Warden – Level 6666 |-
Is that level supposed to be like that? Or is that just a coincidence?
Putting that aside though, the thing is almost three hundred levels above me. Which doesn’t bode well.
I glance at the thousands of other contestants in the room.
Actually, this could work, now that I think about it. With all of these…
All of the bones in the chamber suddenly start moving before forming thousands upon thousands of skeletons, all of whom are at least a hundred levels above me and most of the other contestants.
Far more skeletons than there ever were in the skeletal warden’s cell that I remember back on the first floor.
I glance at Sapphire only to surprisingly find her rather excited. And when I ask why she just says something along the lines of being happy that she can experience what I experienced years ago during my initial climb.
That’s kind of sweet. Or it would be if we weren’t surrounded by thousands of skeletons with an over-leveled mini boss in front of us.
On that note, I turn back to the skeletal warden right as the thing is finally standing up from its throne. At which point I go ahead and wave my hand, sending lunar ice of eternity to freeze the thing in place.
But that doesn’t prove to do much when the thing just goes and shatters the ice with ease, showing just how powerful the thing is.
Damn.
Didn’t really expect it to work, but a man can dream.
I wonder just how much the viewers are loving this? Pretty sure events like these tend to excite fans. Especially older fans who were there to see me fighting the original skeletal warden, along with fans who missed it and have only seen the recordings out there.
After a second though I decide I don’t care what they think as I transform into my hunter form.
The skeletal warden lets out a loud roar, which seems to infuse powerful miasmic energy into the skeletons facing me. So I let out a roar of my own that quickly turns into a howl.
Let’s begin this trip down memory lane.
