Chapter 229: 8th Floor: Realm of the Dead 2
The skeletal bear roared, its voice a deep, guttural rumble that echoed through the graveyard. It charged forward, its massive claws outstretched. Noah braced himself, his grip tightening on Nemesis.
Swoosh!
As the bear lunged, Noah unleashed a wave of Hellfire, the flames dancing and crackling around his sword. The blade collided with the bear's ribcage, sending a shockwave of energy through the creature's skeletal frame.
The bear howled in pain, its movements faltering. But it was far from defeated. It swung its massive claws, aiming for Noah's head. Noah dodged, his reflexes honed by countless battles and his dexterity.
The fight was a brutal dance of death, a clash of wills and strength.
Clangs! Clangs! Bam! Bam!
Noah's Hellfire burned away at the bear's skeletal frame, while the creature's claws raked at his Mana armor. Unable to completely offset the blow.
Blood spattered the ground, a grim testament to the ferocity of the battle.
Noah's mind raced, searching for a way to end the fight quickly. He knew that the bear was a formidable opponent, and he couldn't afford to let the battle drag on. With a surge of determination, he channeled his power, focusing on the bear's weak point.
He found it, a gap in the bear's armor where its ribs met its skull. With a precise strike, Noah drove his sword into the gap, piercing the creature's vital organs. The bear let out a final, agonized roar before collapsing to the ground, its bones shattering into a pile of dust.
Noah stood panting, his body aching from the exertion.

Ignoring the system's notification, Noah focused his mind, staying alert.
As the new wave of skeletons emerged, Noah's excitement matched their aggression.
The graveyard, once a desolate expanse, was now a battlefield, the air crackling with anticipation.
Noah switched Nemesis into its gun form, the weapon humming with dark energy. He leveled it at the oncoming horde, his finger hovering over the trigger. At the same time, he summoned five daggers, their blades shimmering with a cold, deadly light. He controlled them with his telekinesis, manipulating their movements with precision.
The skeletons charged, their bony weapons raised high. Noah unleashed a barrage of gunfire, each shot a deadly projectile that tore through the ranks of the undead. The daggers, controlled by his telekinesis, weaved through the crowd, striking with deadly accuracy.
The graveyard was a scene of chaos, a whirlwind of steel and bone. Noah danced through the fray, his movements fluid and graceful. The skeletons fell, their bodies reduced to piles of crumbling dust. The air was thick with the scent of decay and gunpowder, a testament to the intensity of the battle.
Noah's heart pounded with adrenaline. This was the life he had chosen, a life of constant challenge and endless adventure. He was a warrior, a survivor, and he would not be defeated here.
As the last of the skeletons crumbled into dust, a sense of calm washed over Noah. The graveyard, once a place of death and despair, was now a scene of triumph. He had emerged victorious, his skill and determination unmatched.
But his respite was short-lived. A new wave of undead creatures emerged from the fog, their forms more grotesque and terrifying than the skeletons he had faced before. There were ghouls, their skin pale and translucent, their eyes glowing with an unnatural light. There were zombies, their bodies bloated and decaying, their movements slow but relentless. And there were wraiths, ethereal beings that seemed to glide through the air, their forms barely visible in the dim light.
Noah knew that this would be his toughest challenge yet. These creatures were more powerful, more resilient than the skeletons. But he was prepared. He had faced death before, and he would face it again.
He readied his weapons, his heart pounding with anticipation.
Badump! Badump!
The battle for the eighth floor was far from over.
The graveyard was a whirlwind of activity.
Noah, a blur of motion, danced amidst the chaos, his golden eyes, tainted crimson, reflecting the deadly dance of his weapons.
Nemesis, transformed into a magical black gun reminiscing of a Remington revolver, spit forth a barrage of magic bullets.
Bang! Bang!
Each bullet, a concentrated burst of energy, shattered the skulls of the oncoming ghouls and zombies. The skeletons, though less resilient, were no match for the sheer force of the magic bullets.
The five daggers, controlled by Noah's telekinesis, weaved through the crowd, their blades leaving trails of light as they sliced through the undead. They danced with deadly precision, striking at the creatures' vital points, their effectiveness amplified by the chaos of the battlefield. Chapter Explore:
The ghouls, their translucent skin torn by the magic bullets, let out chilling shrieks. The zombies, their decaying bodies riddled with wounds, stumbled and fell. The wraiths, ethereal beings, were scattered by the force of the daggers.
Noah's movements were a blur, his body a whirlwind of energy. He dodged the attacks of the undead, his reflexes honed by countless battles. The graveyard was a scene of carnage, a testament to Noah's skill and determination.
As the last of the undead fell, a sense of relief washed over Noah. He had survived, he had triumphed. The eighth floor was his. But he knew that the journey was far from over. The ninth floor awaited, and with it, new challenges and new dangers.
Noah stood amidst the fallen, his breath ragged, his body aching from the exertion but his High Regeneration kicked in and he was slowly recovering.
He surveyed the battlefield, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of new threats. The graveyard was a wasteland, a testament to the ferocity of the battle he had just fought.
A shiver ran down his spine. He felt a presence, a dark energy lurking in the shadows. He knew that the battle was not over. There was still one more challenge to face.
A skeletal figure emerged from the mist, its form shrouded in darkness. Its eyes, two glowing orbs of green, burned with an unnatural intensity. It was a creature unlike any other Noah had encountered, a being of pure malice.
Noah braced himself. He knew that this would be the final test, the ultimate challenge on this floor.
