"Yeah," said Seth Solar

"If you kill e, and by now, he has feasted on so htly!" said Valus as he hid behind the Butcher's enormous, stitch-covered bulk

"Don't hurt him!" said the Butcher

"And think about this, ould we risk our lives for this!? We were set up, I' you, set up just like all of you!" continued Valus

"Won't do good to waste energy fighting areed Simon "And they can still be useful"

"Then you two, stay in front Any threat we face from now on, you two take first," said Seth His eyes flashed with threat "Otherwise, both of you die You think I can't kill this fat fuck on y left in enerate from that?"

"We will do as you say!" said Valus He tapped the Butcher, and together, they roup

Eleventh floor:

The eleventh floor comprised of a narrow labyrinth of traps and puzzles If a step wasarroould fire or perhaps a boulder would roll down to crush individuals or a trapdoor would open to reveal hideous tentacled monstrosities If a puzzle at certain indestructible doors was not solved properly, then olee

"fuck!" Seth Solar smashed his fist into another indestructible puzzle door after he failed yet again to solve it It involved answering a riddle "fuck that Evan! He knew all this puzzle and riddle bullsht! He was our brains! Our analyst! He would have solved all this so easily! And he had to die like that on us!"

"He died because you left us to fend for ourselves back there," said a Blackwater A-class student Soravity from his hands

Seth Solar whirled around and lasered Jonas in the face, ooey flesh His decapitated body knelt on the ground, limp and lifeless

"Anyone else want to question me?" said Seth as he looked out at the terrified A class Only Zayn re at Seth's side with confidence

"That's what I thought," said Seth

Aldrich trailed Seth's group fro watch He watched as their numbers thinned floor by floor On the twelfth floor, they had to face a zoiant who smashed Alexis's barrier with a skill called [Bastion Break]several Blackwater A class students who thought they were safe under it

This also killed Si Now there were just two left

Seth Solar and Zayn Soldata The two strongest of them all

The Butcher also survived due to the nature of his ability granting hienerative power Valus alsobarrier and the Butcher's protection

It seemed that the enemies of the floors from 1-10 were all around the sa individual units nearing level 20, but after floor 10, ale

They were still young and untrained, not to mention the fact that their Alter powers had not h esti the body and powers to reach that potential took years and years of biological growth and personal effort

Overall, h C rank level in terms of combat prowess As a result, Aldrich fully expected most of the A class to lose their lives from floors 10 onwards unless Seth Solar, as enerously

Granted, Seth had surprised Aldrich by being considerablythem protect each other with tactical defenses and offenses, but Seth's selfish nature showed itself as he increasingly began to leave behind his fellow A class students when they beca

Valus, the Butcher, Seth Solar, and Zayn Soldata

Zayn was interesting It see at rank 8 when in reality he could sacrifice ly er until it was clear that he could keep up with even Seth Solar

And now, as Aldrich saw theh the portal to the fifteenth floor, the floor requirement for Aldrich to co he wanted, his vengeance, his power, so close to hih to seize and er
