BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152
Chapter 152: Together
“The last floor… We really did it…” Zhen spoke slowly as if shock killed all his usual optimism.
He stared at the system message with incredulous eyes, thinking that perhaps it was some game bug. No one had ever mentioned something like that in the past. No one has ever skipped floors in the dungeon!
The rest of Team Homies was the same, including Alex.
While everyone hovered their eyes on the system messages, Tomo Homie noticed a black and much bigger silver wolf closing up distance with them.
He woke up from his stupor, “We should prepare for the last floor.”
Everyone raised their eyes at him.
With all their attention, Tomo Homie continued, “We don’t know if the boss is alone or not… The last bosses always have some underlings. Other parties of players might be on the last floor as well.
We skipped many floors, but it’s not like dungeon conquerors are that rare nowadays. I won’t be surprised if we face players,” Tomo Homie explained.
He was right.
Alex wasn’t the only legendary class. There were also dungeon conquerors appearing in the low levels. Those people got unique classes, items, and much other stuff to level up faster, becoming stronger ahead of everyone else.
First come, first serve was really influential here.
Other than that, everyone also had to look over their equipment. They needed to prepare mentally for that last floor so that they wouldn’t waste their golden chance…
Alex also needed to speak with the silver wolf!
“I will be back,” Alex said before leaving his homie to talk with silver wolf.
Having good senses, the silver wolf spotted the connection between Alex and Bo, which was that of a master-servant. However, while it was like that formally, Alex treated his partner like a good friend, the same as Celia treated Bo.
The Silver Wolf couldn’t understand that kind of a connection well. His intelligence had been severely limited by the dungeon before. After getting tamed by Bo, he began to understand more about the world.
He bowed to Alex.
Alex smiled, “We are going for the last battle. It will be against the last boss, the powerful orc. Our meeting will be short because of that, but I’m looking forward to working with you, The Silver Wolf.”
The silver monster nodded, not feeling saddened by that fact. He unconsciously realized his situation, knowing that he would live in the dungeon for the rest of his life…
As the human and wolf opened to each other, Alex got the Silver Wolf’s skills laid out before his eyes. He took Bo into his arms, stroking his fur while reading the former boss’ mounts skills.
“You are amazing, Bo,” Alex whispered as he felt astonished by his battle spirit’s achievement.
His black wolf had managed to tame a powerful boss. Alex had more confidence in their last floor battle with that guy by their side.
“I believe Josh will be able to utilize your other abilities…” Alex said, making the Silver Wolf look down dejectedly.
He didn’t like fighting with that muscular bastard on his back!
Alex chuckled, “We can’t waste your abilities. You will fight together for a short amount of time, then split so that both of you can shine on your own. Don’t worry about it, friend… Your last battle will be an amazing one.
So amazing that this whole dungeon will know about it,” Alex smiled.
The Silver Wolf lifted his eyes which sparkled with expectations.
Alex didn’t know how much those words weighed on the silver monster’s heart… He also didn’t know how much the future had changed after mumbling those encouraging words so carefree.

[You have entered the last floor of the Orc Dungeon, The Arena.]
[The Last Dungeon Quest(S) – Defeat the last boss of the Orc Dungeon to receive the Orc’s progenitor treasures.]
Ding!
[Special Quest – Bloodrune(STR) – by drawing out blood from the last orc, you can further enhance your bloodrune, maximum of 25% strength bonus.]
[Nobum Lv. 50 HP: 50 000/50 000 MP: 20 000/20 000]
His name was Nobum.
He didn’t look anything special. In fact, his appearance reminded everyone of the orcs from the first floor. Those were orcs who had nothing but a rough piece of cloth to cover their genitalia.
Their appearance was crude and straightforward.
Of course, no cloth could hide the orcs’ brutality. They were all the same, whether they wore heavy or leather armor. Their core instincts always remained the same, yet Nobum was quite docile the last boss.
He opened his eyes as the new conquerors appeared, hovering his beast hues on them silently.
He was just a tad higher than regular orcs. He also didn’t have anything covering him other than quite well-made pants. He was standing with his arms crossed like a boss; his aura was of that serene monster.
He lifted his hand, pointing his finger at Alex, “Fight me… alone.”
[Nobum’s challenge.]
[Nobum has challenged you for a duel! Nobum won’t go through the boss’s three tiers in a solo duel. He will fight with his own strength. If you defeat him solo, you will open the treasure to your party.]
[If you lose, you won’t be able to enter the Orc Dungeon again.]
Everyone saw the message as Alex shared that on the party channel.
The reason Nobum had chosen him was that Alex was the strongest. His stats eclipsed everyone in the party, and he also gave off a different aura. That was because of the fantastic skills he possessed.
Alex shook his head, “I refuse. This is our dungeon run, and we will finish it together.”
Alex wouldn’t take the whole spotlight for himself as everyone had been working hard for their common goal. If he ended the dungeon run with a solo battle, everyone wouldn’t feel truly content with their time together.
Such an ending would leave a sour taste.
“I said we will conquer the dungeon! It will be not our conquest if I deal with the boss alone!” Alex declared, refusing the quest before his homies could even talk with him about it.
He pointed at the orc with one of his swords, “Let’s do it together.”
