“Arena Rank #1: Joanna-300 consecutive wins, Arena Points: 300 (Arena points are not the same as credits.)”

After 300 matches, his opponents became much stronger. His pace slowed a little. But the win streak continued.

Skyreach Spire.

Alwyn began his climb.

Skyreach Spire worked much like Fruit vs. Zombies. It was a clear-the-levels challenge.

The first floor alone had 100,000 monsters.

Based on Joanna’s level, all enemies were level 20.

This was a team leveling zone. Each floor was built like a dungeon.

But for Alwyn, the monsters were far too weak. They burned in seconds.

He cleared one floor in just five minutes.

Two hours later, his name stood at the top.

“Skyreach Spire Ranking: #1 – Joanna, Current Floor: 30”

Dungeon plaza of the Divine and Demon Training Program.

Compared to other areas, Dungeon Plaza was quiet.

The floors were spotless. The teleport portals looked brand new. Every dungeon here was Nightmare-tier.

Because of that, new students rarely dared to enter.

In the Star Domain Battle, unless teams stayed perfectly coordinated, support roles struggled to shine. As a result, healers and tanks were rare.

“Dreadwood needs one tank to start a fresh run! First come, first served! Loot priority included! The team will cover repairs and potions; we just need one tank!

“Level 18 mage looking for teammates! SSS-rank talent, no cast time! Four Golden-tier skills, one Dark Gold-tier skill! Massive firepower!”

“Any team want a level 16 assassin? I’ll pay 0.5 credits to the rest of the group.”

Nighthowl paused and glanced at the assassin, memorizing his face,

Then he stepped into the nearest teleport portal.

“Detected: You are Joanna Lane’s contract beast. Dungen results will be recorded under Joanna’s name. No Starcoins required for this run,

“This is a team dungeon. Minimum requirement: 5 members. Joanna possesses the “Lone Walker” badge,

Requirement waived.

“Enter Dreadwood? Nightmare-tier dungeon. Level requirement: 15+”

“Yes.”

Inside the dungeon, the sky was dark. A blood-red moo hung overhead, casting a grim glow over the forest.

The trees twisted slowly, like living things.

They were corrupted and had turned into monsters.

The dungeon had a strict two-hour limit. If time ran out, even the players would be corrupted.

Nighthowl stared at the blood moon. Something deep in his blood awakened. He couldn’t hold back anymore. He transformed into a giant wolf.

At Level 20, his body was massive.

He leapt into the air, crossing space like a silver streak. His form shifted into a behemoth. He opened his jaws and bit down on the blood moon.

A wolf devouring the moon.

Crack!

The blood moon shattered.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The Blood Moon was not a real celestial body at all. It was a form of special energy. Nighthowl swallowed it on the spot.

A system message appeared. “You have destroyed the dungeon’s unique modifier: Corrupted Frenzy. Your skill, Celestial Gaze, has absorbed this modifier. Any target exposed to the gaze will enter frenzy mode and fall into a confused state-they will attack anything nearby, friend or foe.”

That was not all. Nighthowl’s attributes surged. The way of energy felt incredibly good, like a warm current rushing through his body.

He lifted his head and activated Celestial Gaze. One by one, every frenzied tree inside the dungeon collapsed and died.

The dungeon ended. As a reward, he received a shield-Tree Guardian’s Blessing (Silver-tier). It could easily sell for a few million credits.

The moment he stepped outside, the dungeon’s glowing gate dimmed and vanished.

An announcement echoed across Dungeon Plaza.

“Dreadwood Dungeon difficulty has been downgraded to Hard-tier. Cleared by: Joanna Lane. Bonus: +1 credit.”

The players who had bought the guide were stunned. Their teams were not even fully formed yet, and the dungeon had already been downgraded. The guide they bought was now useless.

Nighthowl was slightly surprised too. Once a dungeon dropped to Hard-tier, it no longer gave credits. Of course, it could still be farmed. He could clear it again, write a guide, and spread it to other realms so more players could drain this world’s resources.

But that meant nothing to him. So, he switched targets and entered a different Nightmare-tier dungeon.

This time, he cleared it properly. But the terrain was too restrictive. He could not wipe out enemies in one strike. This dungeon did not suit him.

He moved on again.

The next dungeon was much better-wide and open. Perfect for Celestial Gaze.

After exiting, he noticed the same level 16 assassin still shouting for a party. No one wanted him.

Nighthowl sent a party invite.

“I’ll take you through the dungeon. The credits go to me-hmm, I mean my Summoner, Joanna.”

“Huh?”

The assassin stared at the system prompt,

“Joanna’s contract beast, Nighthowl, has invited you to join a party. Accept? Yes or No.”

“You-wait-were you the one who cleared Dreadwood You downgraded it?! You’re Joanna’s contract partner, and you ran the dungeon alone?! Oh my gosh!” The assassin’s jaw dropped.
