No XP, Just Seed : My Apocalypse Cheat

003 The Power of an Advanced Job

Dungeon E-6012-15 greeted us with damp stone tunnels and a bone-chilling draft.

Dozens of feral goblins charged straight at me, swinging rusted clubs as the slick cavern floor shuddered beneath their savage footsteps.

I stood my ground in the heart of the stifling corridor. Gripping the shaft of my spear with both hands, I thrust it forward in a lightning-fast blur.

Spear Barrage!

A lethal storm of thrusts tore through the goblins in front of me without pause, shredding their bodies like mist scattered by a gale. The clash of iron and the crunch of shattering bone echoed through the damp cavern. Magic stones clattered to the ground, scattering across the slick, moss-covered floor.

Their violet facets caught the murky puddle water, reflecting a faint, ethereal glow. I flicked my spear to clear the monster gore clinging to its tip.

"As expected of an advanced job's attack power," I murmured, admiring my own stats. "A one-hundred-and-twenty-eight-times multiplier is straight-up cheating."

The sheer disparity in stats widened the gulf between us and ordinary monsters into a chasm.

From across the tunnel, another pack of burly goblins surged toward Elena. Spiked clubs swung wildly through the air, poised to crush anything in their path. Yet the silver-haired girl didn't flinch. With effortless grace, she raised her staff into the air.

"O flame, consume all who stand before me!"

A blazing red magic circle flared to life before the stunning mage. Instantly, hundreds of fireballs struck the charging swarm. Explosion after explosion tore through the goblins, reducing them to cinders one by one. The scorching backdraft washed over my face, carrying a blistering wind that baked the cavern walls.

True to her title as the Mage Queen, her destructive power was utterly terrifying. Even her basic spells could wipe out dozens of monsters in the blink of an eye.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down my temple as I stared at the scorched, blackened ground.

'Could I even survive an attack like that? There's no way this mortal body of mine could endure a barrage of fireballs that intense.' A nervous shiver ran down my spine at the mere thought of ever standing on the receiving end.

As if sensing my gaze, Elena turned and offered me a radiant smile. Her breathtaking beauty sent my heart hammering against my ribs. I quickly averted my eyes, unable to hold her gaze any longer, terrified my self-control would slip and I'd pounce on her right then and there.

Elena chuckled softly at my flustered reaction and sauntered over.

"Shall we head into the boss room?" she asked, smoothing out her robes.

I gave my spear a light spin and nodded.

"It's just an E-rank dungeon. We shouldn't run into any real trouble."

Elena gave me a confident, playful wink, her smile brightening at my resolve. The tip of her staff faintly glowed, humming with ready mana.

"Then it's settled," she said, leading the way toward the boss doors.

Braced for a tough battle behind those heavy doors, we found a hulking goblin king waiting in the center of the chamber, brandishing a massive, blunt greatsword.

As it turned out, we had drastically underestimated our advanced jobs.

Elena cast a lightning spell meant to stun the boss and pin him in place. A streak of blue lightning split the ceiling, crashing down with a deafening roar. But the impact didn't merely paralyze the creature—the raw magical surge incinerated the goblin king, charring him into a heap of blackened embers.

The colossal monster collapsed without ever raising a defense. The acrid stench of roasted flesh rolled through the room, followed by dead silence.

"Wait, that's it?" I stared in disbelief at the smoldering pile of ash before us.

Elena touched her cheek with an innocent look, watching the thin wisps of smoke rise from the remains.

"Looks like it," she replied with a sheepish giggle at my bewildered expression.

We shared a brief look before bursting into laughter, cutting through the silence of the boss chamber.

After stashing the dropped items into storage, we agreed to tackle the next dungeon.

Our next target was Dungeon E-6012-16, located in the nearby hills. It wasn't far from our current location, and the trail leading there was easy to traverse. We arrived fifteen minutes after exiting Dungeon E-6012-15. Lush green shrubs surrounded the entrance, giving the place a deceptively serene appearance.

Yet behind that tranquil exterior lurked the monsters of E-6012-16: horned rabbits.

On the surface, they looked utterly adorable, with soft, pristine white fur and big, round eyes. In reality, they were vicious, cold-blooded killers. Their horns were sharper than steel spears, and they launched themselves at frightening speeds—enough to punch clean through an ordinary human's chest.

When they were first discovered, novice hunters dropped like flies, lured in and slaughtered by their innocent looks. While tragic accidents like that still occurred, modern hunters had learned to treat them with respect.

We stepped into the subterranean grassland, on high alert.

White blurs whipped around us with blinding agility. While their speed was truly remarkable, my eyes tracked every single shift in their trajectory. In fact, thanks to my advanced job stats, their frenzied leaps seemed even slower than an ordinary rabbit's hop. One shot into the air, aiming straight for my throat with its horn pointed forward like a lance.

I twirled my spear, deflecting the charge and sending the beast spinning through the air. Steel rang clear as I parried the lethal thrust with ease.

Spear Dominion!

I stomped the earth, expanding my reach in all directions. A translucent dome of energy snapped into existence, freezing the surrounding horde dead in their tracks.

Spear Barrage!

Using Spear Dominion to broaden my attack radius and Spear Barrage to deliver the finishing blow, I annihilated hundreds of horned rabbits within seconds. A relentless volley of supersonic thrusts ripped through the air. When the storm subsided, a carpet of gleaming magic stones lay strewn across the mangled brush. Every last monster dissolved into particles of light before a single drop of blood could reach my armor.

"Not even a challenge," I muttered, lowering my spear to my side.

"It's pretty dull here, too," Elena's melodic voice drifted from behind me. "Maybe we should challenge a D-rank dungeon to test our limits."

She strolled over, looking as relaxed as if she were taking an afternoon walk in a park.

"D-rank dungeons are nothing like E-ranks. The monsters are far more ferocious. We should probably level up first before attempting one."

Elena tilted her head, a mischievous, sultry glint dancing in her eyes.

"Oh my... so that means we have to do that~" she whispered in a honeyed, trailing voice.

My blood ran hot as I caught the smoldering intention behind her gaze.

"Ugh, yeah. It's not like we can level up normally now that we're bound by the Bond System."

She closed the distance between us, her intoxicating fragrance overwhelming my senses.

"Understood. How about we start tonight?" she offered softly.

"Tonight? For some reason, I've got a bad feeling about this..."

"Fret not, ufufu~ I'll make you feel wonderful with this graceful body of mine, all night long."

Gulp.

I swallowed hard, the sound embarrassingly loud in my throat under her sensual stare.

"Hehehe," Elena giggled playfully, her fingers gently squeezing my shoulder.

I cleared my throat sharply, trying to reel in my focus before her teasing derailed me completely.

"Ahem! First things first—let's get out of here and sell our haul for the day."

Elena nodded and released her grip on my stiff shoulder. We headed to the Hunter Association to liquidate the spoils we'd gathered from both E-rank dungeons. Piles of magic crystals and rare monster components crowded the counter. The receptionist's stunned expression was utterly priceless, and I couldn't help but smile at the memory.

"That receptionist was pretty cute. Is she your type?" Elena asked suddenly, her voice dropping to a frigid chill.

"Huh?" I blurted, a knot of dread instantly tightening in my gut as I glanced to my left. A sudden chill crept straight down my spine. "Elena?"

My voice trembled slightly as panic set in.

Elena smiled sweetly, but every instinct screamed at me to either run for my life or brace for impact.

"I knew it. It seems you need to be punished tonight," she whispered with a piercing glare. The sweet smile on her lovely face radiated a terrifyingly dark, suffocating aura. "I'll drain you dry so you won't even have the energy to look at another woman."

"Ahem! You've got it all wrong! It's not like I'm interested in her!" I stammered. "Sure, she's cute, but she doesn't hold a candle to you!"

Elena's smile widened at the hasty compliment tumbling from my lips.

"Glad to hear it. In that case, allow me to reward you by wringing you dry tonight. How does that sound? Getting your heart racing, isn't it?" she teased, resting her hand over my wildly pounding chest.

I could only offer a hollow laugh and accept my fate.

......

Night descended, cloaking our dimly lit hotel room in shadows. The relentless creaking of the wooden bed bore witness to our heated struggle.

"Elena, I've already come inside you thirty times... show some mercy."

Ignoring my plea, she rolled her hips again, milking me until I released deep inside her for the thirty-first time. The sensation was overwhelming, keeping me rock-hard without a second's reprieve.

"Hehehe, no way. We're not stopping until you're completely empty," she whispered seductively.

Though her face was flushed crimson and her limbs were trembling from sheer overstimulation, she kept rolling her hips to keep me aroused. The slick friction of our sweat-drenched skin sparked intoxicating jolts of pleasure. Her plump rear bounced right before my eyes with every rise and fall as she rode me. Her full breasts swayed invitingly, tempting my hands to squeeze them with whatever strength I had left.

I gripped her soft, warm chest amid our ragged breaths. In the end, we spent ten hours grinding through fifty exhausting, ecstatic rounds.

The crimson light of dawn began filtering through the curtains by the time we finally collapsed into each other's embrace.

I closed my eyes with a sigh of pure relief, succumbing to sleep beside her warm, radiant body.
