This is the confidence that comes from a Hexagon Warrior.
...
The battle between the Red Dragon Team and the Maze Fourth Floor Demon Legion lasted longer than expected.
Gauss didn’t even know how long he had been fighting, only that the changing members of the Red Dragon Team couldn’t keep up with his combat rhythm.
He quietly continued to hold the Demon Frog Lord in check, occasionally whipping it to make the painful Demon Frog Lord summon more "minions" to "rescue" it.
Once a batch of demons had gathered, he would decisively initiate a purge.
Using the almost zero-cost Vampire Touch to slaughter demons.
The summoned demons felt as if they were in Hell.
They had to face an unbeatable, inexhaustible, inescapable killing machine, and under the influence of the Maze Lord, even when realizing the vast gap between both sides, they couldn’t flee, eventually and silently becoming Gauss’s "nourishment".
Gauss didn’t know which wave of reinforcements he had killed.
He looked towards the distant forest, the monster reinforcements this time were evidently somewhat unsatisfactory.
Looking out, there were only a few hundred.
"Have I killed them all?"
He furrowed his brow, glancing at the numbers on the Monster Atlas.
"Total Monsters Killed: 57,812"
How could it be?
He turned to look at the barely alive yet undying Demon Frog Lord beside him and casually gave it a whip with his Vampire Touch.
The powerful dark energy tendril instantly pierced through the tough skin of the Demon Frog Lord, leaving a continuously corroding wound.
"Ribbit!!!"
Gauss and the Demon Frog Lord locked eyes.
Its exhausted eyes had completely lost their fighting spirit.
The emotion of hatred had been completely worn away in the prolonged battle, it now realized the immense gap between them and only sought release.
Gauss also vaguely understood something.
The Demon Frog Lord stopped summoning other demons.
Perhaps it realized Gauss was using it to slaughter other maze creatures and didn’t want to let him succeed, or perhaps some energy within it was depleting, its control over other maze demons greatly diminished, overall, fewer and fewer demons were coming.
Moreover, Gauss had already killed over ten thousand demons on the maze’s fourth floor, which itself was no small number.
The dense cloud of death, nearly substantial, loomed around for a long time, indeed deterring many demons from approaching.
The corpses of demons piled up into a mountain of bodies and a sea of blood.
Most died by his magic, while some were contributed by other members of the Red Dragon Team.
The powerful magic endurance brought by the Three-Phase Source Power was truly crucial.
Otherwise, his former self would never have achieved this extent.
He felt he could still continue fighting; aside from a bit of mental fatigue, his physical stamina and magic power remained relatively abundant.
"Forget it."
Gauss exhaled.
Since the Demon Frog Lord could no longer summon more monsters, he realized there was no need to keep wasting time.
"Water Manipulation!"
The water dragon constricting the frog’s body tightened instantly under Gauss’s control.
The next moment, countless needle-like streams of water pierced through the giant frog’s body.
In the blink of an eye, the originally riddled frog’s body had thousands more holes, with its blood gushing out of the myriad wounds.
This attack was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, instantly taking the life of the Demon Frog Lord.
The light in the Demon Frog’s eyes dimmed.
A demon lord who had once ruled the fourth floor of the maze quietly passed away.
"Commander Level Demon Frog *1 slain"
"Divine Factor gained: 0.56%"
"Current Divine Factor: 3.28%"
Gauss felt a mystical power surge from the Demon Frog Lord’s body into his own.
Was it the Divine Factor possessed by the maze’s lord?
While it wasn’t much, the wonderful power still made Gauss feel somewhat comfortable.
He could sense that his utilization of the [Precision] rule seemed to have become stronger.
Meanwhile, a light sphere drifted from the mountain-like body of the Demon Frog Lord, landing in the hands of Gauss, the slayer.
Gauss grasped the light sphere.
Once the light dissipated, what appeared in his hand was a fragile gem like glass.
The moment he held it, Gauss knew its use: it was the key to unlock the fifth floor of the maze, and upon shattering, the passage would refresh before Gauss. This passage would remain fixed for seven days, only randomly refreshing in the fourth floor thereafter.
Currently, Gauss had no desire to open the fifth floor, so he stored the opening stone away.
He glanced at another luminous treasure chest that appeared beside the Demon Frog Lord.
This treasure chest appeared after a spatial fluctuation, as a reward for clearing the fourth-level maze lord.
Gauss used Mage’s Hand to open the treasure chest.
A strong golden light erupted the moment the chest was opened.
Gauss squinted slightly.
Gold Coins! So many Gold Coins!
He roughly estimated, there were thousands, the quality was excellent.
His hand dived in, grabbing a handful, as the coins slipped through his fingers, a melodious clinking sound rang out, truly an intoxicatingly pleasant sound.
Apart from Gold Coins, there were other rewards at the bottom of the chest.
Dozens of mid-level magic stones of various attributes, and a high-level magic stone glistening with perfect luster.
