Yet, Daniel didn't even consider that possibility, improving even more his image in front of his party.
Such behavior was the complete opposite of the cultivator that was in the lower layers, smilingly killing magical beasts.
Noah waved his sabers with impeccable dexterity, in only a few minutes, the last beast was killed, leaving more than thirty corpses laid on the ground.
'I'm getting closer but I still have to see any rank 1 or 2 worms. Are they in the center of the pack being fed to stronger beings?'
Noah thought about the possible options while he gathered the corpses.
'It should be like with the Albino snake, just for a different reason. The environment doesn't have enough "Breath" so they resort to cannibalism, the terrain can't match a living being after all.'
He moved toward a deeper area, raising his attention to the peak.
'I've killed more than fifty rank 3 beasts, if this is still far from the pack, then the report must have been quite old.'
He was certain by then that the Royal family was periodically cleaning the dungeon.
Magical beasts weren't as smart as humans but they weren't completely idiotic either: if the situation didn't force them, they would have already changed the location of their lair, especially with a rank 4 specimen leading them.
The fact that the pack still occupied that area was the confirmation that the beasts were purposely being kept there.
'All these efforts just to create a source of money, being the head of a country seems really annoying.'
Noah sighed internally thinking about how much time the Elbas family had invested in that place.
When he arrived in the lower layer though, the sight changed drastically.
It was still a detention room, with cells scattered randomly on the ground.
Yet, the walls were full of holes, signing the passage of a high number of magical beasts.
Also, the cells had biting signs on them and were vividly consumed, it seemed that something had sucked off the metal from each bar.
'Were these cells inscribed items?'
Noah guessed, nearing one of the cells to inspect it more carefully.
'Mh, they have eaten the inscriptions on them, I wonder how populous the pack is. Excavating worms are known for their high reproduction rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the Elbas family had purposely planted those beasts here for this reason.'
More magical beasts meant more "Breath" dispersed in the environment when the cleaning operations happened.
That method sacrificed the final amount of Credits obtained but accelerated their creation.
'I don't really know how much does it take for a Credit to form but two thousand years had passed already, the fact that I didn't find a single crystal means that I'm still at some distance from the core.'
Then, a sound forced him to stop his thoughts.
Each hole in the walls began to emit a crawling noise that echoed through the entire underground room.

'I can't really guess how many there will be like this, I hope they don't destroy the place.'
Noah wielded his sabers and prepared himself for the imminent assault.
At that moment, more than fifty worm's heads came out from the cavities around him.
