The heavy, oppressive atmosphere made Snow Xia feel like she couldn't breathe.
Staring at the terrifying monster pacing behind the massive iron gate, her long legs went weak.
Under the detection skill, the attributes of the Enhanced Elite Monster were laid bare.
Whether in terms of stats or appearance, it was leagues apart from the monsters in a normal-level dungeon.
Terrified, Snow Xia looked at Mark Lin and cried out, "This is Nightmare difficulty! Did you choose the wrong one?"
Mark Lin remained completely calm. "Nope."
Nope...?
Was this guy seriously planning to clear a Nightmare-level dungeon with just the two of them?
Just looking at the terrifying stats of the monster made Snow Xia's teeth chatter.
"You're insane! We're going to die!" Snow Xia shouted.
But Mark Lin didn't respond to her outburst, nor did he bother with her current emotional state.
"In a minute, follow me and run."
What?
Run where?
Snow Xia was caught off guard.
That terrifying Enhanced Elite Monster had already locked onto her.
A chilling fear of death crept into her chest.
If she weren't afraid of being laughed at by Mark Lin, she'd already have fled the dungeon.
Suddenly, a horde of Skeleton Warriors appeared in the room.
As Mark Lin deployed his current skeletons, he simultaneously summoned new ones.
In the blink of an eye, 80 Skeleton Warriors packed more than half the room.
Then, to Snow Xia's horror, Mark Lin opened the dungeon gate.
The Skeleton Warriors charged forth like a battle legion, storming into the mine tunnel.
Mark Lin handled it with practiced ease.
The Enhanced Elite Monster behind the iron gate gave chase after the skeletons and vanished down the corridor in an instant.
"Follow me," Mark Lin called.
And then he started running.
Snow Xia was stunned—what kind of strategy was this?
Was this even allowed in a dungeon?
"Hurry up. What, scared already?"
Mark Lin's voice echoed from the tunnel.
Snow Xia stomped her foot. "Who's scared? I won't lose to you!"
Pushed by pride, she hurried after him.
A massive train of monsters now coursed through the dungeon.
The Skeleton Warriors led the charge, followed by a pack of Enhanced Elite Monsters.
And at the very back were Mark Lin and Snow Xia.
As they ran, Snow Xia called out, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Mark Lin answered plainly, "Clear the dungeon."
It was such a matter-of-fact answer, Snow Xia was left speechless.
They ran through the long tunnel until they came upon the Mine Wolf King.
The Nightmare-level Mine Wolf King was more than twice the size of the one in the normal-level dungeon.
Snow Xia didn't even need her detection skill to tell—it was terrifying.
At that moment, the Skeleton Warriors charged right up to it.
The Mine Wolf King launched repeated attacks at them, but they just kept running—without fighting back.
"Why aren't they retaliating?"
Snow Xia was surprised by the Skeleton Warriors' durability, but also confused.
"They will. Soon," Mark Lin said, still issuing commands.
Once the horde of monsters had fully caught up, several Skeleton Warriors suddenly unleashed their skills.
In an instant, one Enhanced Elite Monster was obliterated.
Its corpse was launched high into the air.
At the same moment, Mark Lin raised his hand.
Corpse Explosion!
Aerial Burst!
BOOM!!
The deafening explosion nearly made Snow Xia jump out of her skin.
Experience surged at lightning speed, and a flurry of system notifications appeared.
In just the blink of an eye, Snow Xia's experience bar shot up by 30%.
She stood there stunned—you could clear dungeons like this?
What kind of operation was this!?
BOOM!
BOOM!
More explosions followed in rapid succession.
That terrifying Mine Wolf King, which once required multiple players and twenty-plus minutes to defeat in a normal dungeon, now let out a final wail and collapsed to the ground.
"It's dead."
"Just like that? That easily?"
Snow Xia was in disbelief. She vividly remembered how she and two others had painstakingly fought the Mine Wolf King on normal difficulty. They had meticulously planned tactics, assigned roles, and after twenty exhausting minutes, finally brought it down.
But now, in front of Mark Lin, it was instantly annihilated.
Snow Xia went completely numb.
And this wasn't normal difficulty—this was Nightmare.
The same Boss, yet Nightmare was exponentially harder than normal.
And still, it was instantly killed.
A tingling sensation crept from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Snow Xia felt as if she were being electrocuted, her entire body trembling.
This was dungeon clearing?
This was practically a leisurely stroll through a backyard!
Mark Lin didn't notice her expression. He waved his hand. "Let's go."
The Skeleton Warriors had already rushed ahead into the next tunnel, heading deeper into the mine.
Snow Xia snapped out of her daze and quickly caught up.
"Do you... always solo Nightmare-level dungeons?" she asked with great effort.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she never would have believed it.
No—no one would believe that someone could solo Nightmare-level dungeons at this level.
In the entire game's history, no one had ever done it.
Mark Lin responded calmly, "Yes."
Snow Xia asked again, "Since level 10?"
"That's right."
Mark Lin confirmed it without hesitation.
And finally, Snow Xia understood why his level rose so fast.
While she had only just finished the Novice Dungeons, Mark Lin had probably already started solo clearing Nightmare-level mine dungeons.
If it weren't for the dungeon cooldown restrictions, he might already be level 20 by now.
This efficiency was insane.
From the moment they entered until now, only about 10 minutes had passed—and they were already approaching the final Boss.
Whereas when she had teamed up with others to clear the normal-level version, it had taken over an hour just to reach this point.
Now, standing before them, was the massive Goblin King, radiating oppressive power.
The Skeleton Warriors charged in again, dragging a whole horde of monsters behind them, swarming like a pack of wasps.
After over a dozen deafening explosions—
Silence.
And the next moment, Mark Lin was bathed in the glow of leveling up.
