Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

It really was an entrance. The reason why others weren't able to pass this dungeon was that there was no way others could deal with a river monster. Perhaps it could be that those people hadn't thought about freezing the entire river. Even if they could, the level of their weapons wasn't enough to deal with this big monster.

But Shane wasn't those poor systems. He had already updated his weapons and skills so that he could deal with the unsolvable dungeons. And he was right.

The reason why these dungeons remained intact was that none of the weaker systems passed it, and no higher-level people were interested in entering this place for small treasures.

If it weren't for that herb, Shane knew that he also wouldn't have entered this place. He needed to hide his identity well, and if he wandered around dungeons like this, he knew that he would be caught eventually. So it was still safe for him to do random system jobs despite the difficulty.

He still wondered why he was still trying to preserve. He clearly had lost his goal. Then why he was working hard to survive? After all, he had already died once, so he wasn't afraid of that. Perhaps after dying, he might be able to reincarnate properly in the mortal world as a new person.

Shane sighed.

The two of them soon entered the pool as their bodies were thrown outside a lake. Their bodies landed on the dried and cracked ground.

Shane groaned as he pushed himself up. His entire body felt like it was broken into pieces. He took a few deep breaths to suppress the ounce of pain thrashing his body.

He rubbed the back of his neck and finally looked around. At the present moment, they were standing on barren ground, filled with blood and darkness. Even the river was all muddy and dirty to the point it didn't look like water anymore.

Shane lowered his head and looked at his body. Sure enough, his robes were covered with filthy water. A weird stench flowed through his body that made him feel like puking.

He wiped his face and said, "Let's go and find the damned monster of this stage."

The woman in a hood was in a worse condition. Even though the mud and filth stuck to her hood, she couldn't take it off. She didn't want to reveal her identity just yet in front of Shane.

She huffed and desperately cleaned herself as she said, "Good for you! It's so easy being able to clean yourself like a normal person!"

"Then why don't you take off your hood?"

"I don't dare to show my face to others. It's quite ugly."

Shane narrowed his eyes at her and said, "You do look ugly right now."

The woman wanted to refute it, but she couldn't. She could only hold the bubble of anger in her chest and continue walking onward.

They continued onward without having much idea about where they were going and what they should do. The ground was lacking even a small trace of greenery. The two of them continued to walk for a while as Shane stopped and turned around. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the long, filthy river behind him.

"This is where we came from, didn't we?"

The woman seemed to have understood what this person wanted to say. She nodded and turned around as well, walking toward the place where they came from. Since she was already filthy and had become accustomed to this strange odor, she walked over and entered the place. Shane stood at the back and stared at that place with squinted eyes for a moment and also walked in.

The two of them stood there as they tapped the ground, but they didn't find anything. The river and the ground looked normal without a trace of crack. Then how come they were thrown out like that? Did the river spit them or something?

Wait….

Only living creatures would spit things.

Shane's eyes widened as he immediately grabbed the woman and threw her out directly. Before he could jump out, the muddy river water around him moved and rose higher in the air, surrounding him from all sides.

The woman who was thrown out fell to the ground as her hood revealed her beautiful face momentarily. She immediately covered it again as she got up from the ground. She stared at the scene in front of her with widened eyes.

It almost looked like a tornado created out of muddy water surrounded the poor guy. The corners of the woman's lips curved up. She leaned against a dried tree and squinted her eyes.

"Let's see how you can get out of this."

Shane didn't focus on that woman anymore as he stared at the muddy water. He cursed under his breath as he suppressed his desire to directly leak out his powers. He really wanted to do something about this thing.

But since he couldn't use his real powers, he directly pulled out the Dragonking sword he had gotten from a dungeon. Despite having zero luck, it was still a bit useful. Actually, he could increase his luck by finding a hacker and putting in some luck. But that would be stealing.

He hadn't been a person who would stoop so low for the sake of his goals. So he could only use the weapon.

Of course, he also had other weapons, but they were deemed useless at this moment. Kinslayer would be useless and end up causing him more harm than benefit since he was already in the water. He would also be electrocuted if he dared to use it.

Similarly, the ice sword would also end up harming him instead. So the only thing he could use at this time was this Dragonking that he didn't want to.

He sighed and raised his sword. Since the monster was made out of the water, and since this sword could control all the elements, he was sure that he could do something about this strange being surrounding him. So he directly muttered the spell as he focused on controlling the muddy water in front of his eyes.

The technique worked. The water froze as Shane made a few gestures with the sword, creating a door-like thing. He walked out without any expression on his face, looking like he was strolling in a garden.

After he was a considerable distance away, he glanced back and made another gesture. The water fell to the ground with a splash, sprinkling drops everywhere. Then, the water monster didn't dare to get up anymore.

Shane looked at the scene with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes and turned to a certain hooded girl leaning against a tree.

He frowned. "You could have helped for saving your life."

"I wouldn't have died no matter what." The woman shrugged. "You wasted your effort."

Shane only looked at her briefly and turned his head as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and find the entrance."

The woman scoffed as they walked onward.

This dungeon seemed way too easy for being an unsolvable dungeon for years. Shane couldn't understand why no system was able to solve this dungeon 100% to the point that majority of them couldn't even go beyond the first step.

"Was there no one who reached the boss level?"

"Rumors are that there was a person who reached the boss. He had sent a message to his friends outside the dungeon saying he was in trouble in the boss room, but by the time they responded, the man was already dead. Only his body was thrown out." The woman sighed. "There's no credibility in this rumor. So I'm not sure about this matter."

Shane nodded as they continued to find the entrance.

After this stage, the two of them continued to solve one level after another at a steady pace. Every time, the monster was the river made out of different things. At times, it was either wine while other times it was milk. They even ended up seeing a river monster made out of butter.

By the time the two of them reached the boss level, two of them were covered with all kinds of filth from head to toe. The woman grimaced in the end as she wiped her face.

"I need a shower."

"Me too."

How did they know it was a boss room? Simple, in the last level before the boss room, they had encountered a door standing between two trees at the side. There was a word written in bold letters above the door:

"Demon Lord."

Who couldn't guess what kind of place was there beyond that door? It was clearly the boss room!

Shane pushed open the door and turned to the woman in the hood. "Let's go."

As the two of them entered the place, they were faced with a strong gust of wind slapping their faces. Shane raised his hand and covered his face with his arms, squinting his eyes. As he did, he looked around.

But no matter how much did he try to see, his surrounding was covered up by the dusty wind
