![Chapter 24 — Netherborne [An OP Monster Isekai] Cover](https://flamesnovel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BK4882500838433.jpg)
The black-tar dragon refused to die. This was the first time Victor faced an opponent that lasted more than a few seconds. I can see why dragons are graded at ten points by the goddess, but… He looked at the corpse of the feminine silver dragon with brain pus trickling from a hole in her head. That dragon had to be centuries old, yet I killed it in one hit? The Hackers are the same, too…a sneaky claw to the head, and they are dead. He realized what truly mattered in this world. Stealth. Picking…-

Alice awakened from her state of mind with the silver barrier shattering. The lord had arrived. Her survival rested on his shoulders. The image of that long, shadowy arm ending in curved claws that looked sharper than any blade Alice had ever seen while working for her father’s merchant company flashed through her mind. What is the lord? Is he a creature of darkness? Or was that merely an extension of his true form? She began to doubt that the lord was a mere necromancer. Then, with a huff, she stood up.…

Victor directed Wiggles to smash into the silvery barrier. The oversize earthworm glowed in an eerie green light, and its muscles bungled below its armored plates that shifted as the worm prepared to charge. “Attack,” Victor commanded, and his mindless, undead slave complied. Wiggles coiled up, and like a spring, he unleashed his full power. The cavern shuddered as he collided. Green blood and flesh dyed the silver barrier in neon green as it rippled from the impact. “Tsk.” Victor floated past…

Wiggles resembled a tunnel-boring machine rather than an undead creature. Victor, Henry, and a frightened Genus followed the dark tunnel through the earth Wiggles had perfectly carved out. Apart from the foul smell of death and decay and the occasional suspiciously neon-green puddle, the tunnel through the bedrock was perfectly smooth. Henry and Victor were perfectly fine in the pitch blackness to the planet’s center. But Genus took every step with a nervous caution befitting a blind lady attempting to…

Once the guards lowered the magical silver barrier, Xamrus discarded the shaking human into one of the many prison cells. He was in a foul mood after he received wrath from the Elders. They accused him of being lazy and taking the magical highway instead of making the two-day flight to the Grand Dungeon’s entrance. Of course, they all knew that zombie would never make it to the Grand Hall for questioning after Hyveth took it, so the Elders took it out on Xamrus. He reasoned that the human wouldn’t have…

Victor wondered how he could gain access to the Grand Dungeon over the last few days. Yet he had gained three different ways in the last half hour, first with the enormous undead worm. That name is far too long. How about Wiggles? The name sounds endearing enough to help distract me from how monstrous it is. Anyway, Wiggles should be able to create a tunnel into the Grand Dungeon. Otherwise, how did it get out in the first place? Unless it was mutated outside of the dungeon by ambient mana. The second…

Although Netherborne could float, they could not fly. A few meters off the ground was the best Victor could do, and apart from his Doom Ray, he lacked in ways to deal with aerial threats. Such as dragons. There was a shocking lack of flight-capable monsters in the cursed forest. Victor had brushed it off initially since forests usually favored land-based monsters. But seeing those flying lizards perching on the crater’s edge made him realize another possibility. There were flying-type monsters, but they…

The journey toward the Grand Dungeon had been a fruitful endeavor so far. As Victor got closer to the dragon’s stronghold, the number of high-level monsters also increased, drastically raising his level and stats. “Status,” Victor mentally chanted, and a glowing blue screen appeared before him. “My Freezing Cone spell leveled up from five to seven, and my Spirit Movement went from level three to five. But how can I unlock new spells?” This question bothered Victor,…

Victor scrutinized the black ocean within his mind. He made sure his bearings were correct. Terry was certainly in the north unless everyone had switched locations to mess with him. Many thoughts went through his mind, some were less polite than others, but they all followed a similar theme. He was baffled, confused, and downright annoyed. Nothing was going right lately, and that irked Victor to no end. He lobbed a message toward Terry’s node within the network; due to the distance, it took a second to…

Alice concluded that she despised flying. Perhaps it was the fault of her carrier, lacking the comforts of traditional travel such as cushions or even a seat, or maybe it was because she was hanging upside down and the forest blurred beneath her. As she violently swayed side to side, her stomach sloshed around like a fish bowl experiencing turbulence. “DARN LIZARD!” she howled over the roaring gale. She swung her body forward. But the wind pushed her back as she tried to grab at the creature’s claw…
