After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 986:



“Darling, come quickly!” Xuelu’s voice had sounded particularly excited over the phone. “I’m in the southwest of the New Continent, and I’ve found a strange cave. It seems there’s a powerful monster inside and mysterious treasures. Truly, I’m not lying to you. There’s definitely valuable stuff in there.”

Robb had replied with a hint of annoyance, “Hey, haven’t you had enough? How many years has it been since we defeated the Black Dragon? You’ve already completed the world’s greatest adventure, defeated the Dark Lord, and slain the Black Dragon. What else do you regret not having done? Why are you so insistent on fighting these insignificant monsters? Can’t you just stay home, enjoy the hot springs with me, and maybe have a couple of chubby kids and then…”

“Absolutely not!” Xuelu had laughed, “That kind of lifestyle suits other women, not me.”

Robb had sighed, “Alright, I respect your passion. But if you’re thinking I’ll join you in hunting these monsters, think again. I’ve grown tired of that.”

Xuelu had chuckled, “Fine, fine. You have your way, and I have mine. But when I’m in danger, I know you’ll come to save me. This cave I’m about to enter seems very, very dangerous. If anything happens to me, you better revive me.”

Robb had responded with a smile, “I don’t believe it’s as dangerous as you make it out to be. With your team, who are all powerful in their own right, I’m not worried.”

Xuelu had laughed, “Alright, I’ll give you that. After defeating the Black Dragon, I’ve felt there’s no monster I can’t handle. Well, off I go into the cave. See you, my love.”

Xuelu had then hung up the phone and gazed at the deep cave entrance before her. Turning to her companions, Gorda and Jike, she’d shrugged, “Let’s go.”

Xuelu had shared her intuition, “I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that there’s a powerful monster waiting for us inside. I wonder if I’m right.”

Gualda and Jike had laughed in response, “There’s only one way to find out.”

The trio had stepped confidently into the cave, not knowing that deep inside, Robb was secretly waiting, preparing surprises for them.

Unaware that Robb had been sitting in the deepest part of the cave, in a specially constructed BOSS room. There was a throne in that room, and he had been sitting on it, giving orders to his subordinates: “You, put on the Minotaur appearance and guard the BOSS room on the second floor.”

“As you command!” A knight had donned the Minotaur appearance, instantly transforming into a Minotaur and heading upstairs.

Robb had pointed to another, “You, wear the demon appearance and guard the third floor below.”

“You, Behemoth outfit, fourth floor below.”

One by one, the mini-BOSSes had been dispatched. Robb had then taken out a bunch of traps, mechanisms, and various odds and ends, handing them to the infantry: “Take these and set up traps everywhere, and wander around aimlessly.”

The infantry had happily acknowledged and left.

Lilian, who had been standing next to him, had giggled, “Sister Xuelu would never guess that the cave she discovered is actually you playing the game ‘Dungeon Guardian’.”

Robb had chuckled mischievously, “I didn’t set her up on purpose. I came to the New Continent to dig a hole and play a dungeon management game. Who knew she’d stumble upon it? It’s just a coincidence. It’s definitely not me trying to trick her. You must help me prove it later.”

Lilian had smiled, “I will!”

“We must protect our homeland at all costs. Defeat the invaders. I order you all, make sure to drive out the two male adventurers, but capture the female adventurer intact. This demon king wants to display the female adventurer in various ways and savor her. Got it?”

Everyone had laughed in response, “Understood!”

However, a knight had spoken up, “Godfather, we are a serious dungeon, aren’t we? Isn’t capturing the female adventurer and displaying her in various ways against the whole idea of justice?”

Someone had reminded him over the communication loop, “Are you an idiot? That female adventurer is Princess Xuelu! She’s obviously Godfather’s… ahem… friend! It’s okay to joke.”

“Oh, I see. I misspoke. I’ll definitely play my part well as the Goblin Hero, the mini-BOSS.”

By this time, Xuelu, Gorda, and Jike had already entered the dungeon.

They proceeded cautiously, not encountering any monsters.

Gorda whispered, “Are you sure there’s a boss here?”

Jike nodded, “Definitely. I can sense a strong magical presence, powerful traps, and ferocious monsters lurking.”

Gorda responded, “I hope you’re right.” Before he could finish his sentence, a horde of goblins sprang from the shadows, aggressively charging towards them.

“Wow, why are we facing low-level goblins?” Gorda remarked sarcastically, effortlessly swinging his shield.

Unexpectedly, the goblin charging towards him also raised its shield. The two shields collided with a resounding “clank”. To Gorda’s astonishment, the goblin stood its ground and wasn’t knocked over.

Gorda exclaimed, “Huh? My shield is a Demon Steel Shield. How did it not knock him over? What kind of goblin is this?”

The goblin knight laughed proudly, “Mere adventurers, did you think you could defeat goblins? Minions, kill the two men and capture the woman for our demon lord’s pleasure.”

The goblin grunts responded in unison, “As you command, Sir Knight!”

The knight leader, sweating profusely, kicked a subordinate and whispered angrily, “Damn it, are you trying to blow our cover?”

The minions hurriedly corrected themselves, “As you command, boss.”

Gorda raised an eyebrow suspiciously, “Something feels off.”

Xuelu laughed, “What’s there to feel off about? Just beat them up!”

She waved her hand, and a fireball whizzed out, targeting the goblin knight.

The goblin knight raised his shield, shouting “Shield Wall!” With a loud clang, his shield astonishingly deflected Xuelu’s fireball spell, leaving her dumbfounded. Then, a goblin magician from the back brandished his staff and yelled, “Pyroblast!”

“Oh, f***! This goblin knows Pyroblast!” Xuelu exclaimed, “Something’s not right with this dungeon.”
