So far though, Victor was yet to run into any monster in the water, so the plan could only wait until he found one, but that was short lived, as a suitable monster presented itself to Victor.
‘I like monsters that just deliver themselves into my hands.’ Victor said in his mind, as he halt his movents and just floated in the water.
Vhooooom
The vibrations emitted by the monster travelled through the entire water and unto Victor’s body, bouncing against the walls and back into the water, giving its whole form a mystic feel.
‘This octopus looking fish monster will do just fine.’ Victor thought in his head.
[Calipus Level 40].
The monster didn’t seem the least bit threatening as it swam by, and it paid no attention to Victor. The monster before Victor looked like a mix between a shark and an octopus. It had eight arm like things that ca out of the sides of its head, and that part of its head seed a bit jelly. Apart from these parts, the rest of its body was of a milky colour. The monster was just the right size to navigate well through the cave layout of the floor, as it was the size of two hippopotamus.
Victor swam as fast as he could, which wasn’t very fast, until he got to the slow swimming monster fish. With his mind, he activated his skill ‘Touch of Death’, and before the monster could even struggle, it had died.
‘Arise.’ Victor commanded ntally.
A couple second after the monster died, it twitched a bit, then as though nothing had happened began swimming again as it swirled its body round Victor.

‘This guy should be enough.’ Victor thought. Due to Victor’s infernal body, his body was constantly giving up heat that kept the water around him warm is he stayed in one spot for even so seconds.
Victor got on top the monster and with it he rode deeper into the cave easily and much faster than he could ever with his current self.
After going about for so hours, Victor finally found the path that led to the next floor, and after using it, he finally reached dry floor once more.
‘Much convenient.’
.
During the ti Victor spent looking for the path to the next floor, it is accurate to think he didn’t do so without any sort of confrontation or encounter with other monsters.
Because of the constant heat coming off of Victor’s body, he beca the perfect target for the monster fishes that were attracted towards heat sources. At that side of the floor the water was extrely cold and well past freezing point but still liquid sohow, which would make normal creatures to function at a lower capacity, unless they were at a much higher level where their bodies were though enough, or had very high cold resistance.
The monsters in this part of the floor thrive in these environnts as normal, and would hunt any creature that had even the slightest higher temperature as it was kind of a way for them to also find their way around. When not attacking, they would just remain at a particular spot/position without much movent unless necessary.
The problem with this place was that even though Victor had a very high resistance to cold due to his undead body, his infernal body still reacted normally disregarding the fact that he wasn’t really affected by the environnt that much. Because of this, his body was releasing plenty heat that in turn was plenty enough to warm up the surrounding waters, and even if the monsters in the vicinity didn’t have good vision, the tattoo like lines on his body lit up quite well.
With the situation like this, the monsters in the area were all attracted towards him, but fortunately the monster weren’t of higher levels, so using his skill ‘negative burst’, he was able to take care of the monsters easily. Eating these monsters wasn’t in anyway beneficial, so Victor would just leave the bodies as he moved forward.
At so point, Victor had reached a part of the floor where the light inside was completely zero, making it almost impossible for Victor to see even a few tres away from himself. The little light emitted from his dim tattooed lines only glead in the darkness as it seed to be sucked away by it, almost as if the water was saturated with ink.
Eventually, Victor was greeted by the monsters that lived in that part of the cave floor, and for the first ti in this floor Victor stopped to eat the monster in order to gain evolution material.
It was impossible for Victor who had night vision to see in the darkness of this cave side, but the other creatures could still see him. From what he could think of the situation, there was definitely sothing that was enabling these monsters that lived in these parts to hunt and move around. Since they could see, it either ant they had a skill that allowed them to see in the dark, or they had sothing that enabled them to sense the movents in the surrounding waters, be it a skill or biological capabilities.
Whatever it was that enabled them to see in this environnt, Victor was sure that he wanted it, and that it would be important to him in the future.
After reaching the next floor, Victor disbanded the fish monster he had added to his legion and the number of monsters in his legion returned to five out of seven.
..
“The forty eight floor, huh?” Victor said as he stepped into the forty eight floor.
It was clear how different the current floor would be, as just from the point of entry, Victor was faced with various monsters that just stared at the path that led into the floor.
‘Geeze, if I didn’t know better I’d say soone was plotting against .’
