Adam who was suddenly being wrapped by some sort of wire instantly became wary and began slashing the wire apart, but there was so much of it, it was sticky and he could also hardly see or sense it.

After a minute of struggling against the wire, he suddenly realised what the wire was as he sensed a giant spider.

Summoning all the might he had into his legs, Adam launched himself into the air and above the trees, allowing him to break out of the webs, and fell straight towards the giant spider that he sensed.

With his two daggers, he went to strike down on the spider beast and deal him a powerful blow so that he would have an advantage throughout the rest of the battle that he expected would be long and difficult.

However before he could even get close to the spider beast, it fired a web from its rear and also seemed to be able to control the webs that it fired.

The wire seemed to be as strong as steel, yet as flexible and sticky as one would expect from a normal web and the giant spider beast was able to shot multiple webs at once.

Adam seeing that was amazed and what surprised him the most was that the spider was completely white to the point that it was nearly glowing.

With 3 webs flying towards him and moving in the air to wrap around him, Adam fired an Air Palm Strike towards the Giant White Spider and it was launched sliding backwards, but formed a net of its own web to catch itself.

Adam landed on the ground and prepared himself for battle and in that second, the Giant White Spider had fired dozens of webs around itself and connected them to all the trees around it and in the area, making a domain around it that it was in control of.

Seeing what was occurring, Adam also prepared himself as he activated the Muscular Enhancement Technique that he had learnt from his master and had been integrated into his body through the system.

Adam increased his mastery of everything he could with the mastery feature, that was useful, to 20% and that allowed him to be able to increase his Speed and Strength by 180 points for every 9 IESP and EESP he used per minute.

With his current energy reserves, Adam could handle such use of energy and if he activated both his Fundmanetal Defence Techniques to their current full potential, could increase his resistance by 360 points, but decided against doing so.

It would use too much energy, burden his body too much and Adam also felt that the resistance boost wasn't needed to fight the Giant White Spider.

His External and Internal Energy spread throughout his body that was bursting with power as the ground beneath Adam's feet suddenly began to crack.

Bursting towards the Giant White Spider beast, the spider's webs were everywhere and getting in Adam's way and trying to capture him, while there were other webs that were sharp and could cut him, but Adam avoided or cut them all.

His current speed and strength was too high for the webs to affect him much, but the battle with the Giant White Spider, that was also capable of fighting, was much longer than he had expected.

He had to deactivate the Muscular Enhancement Technique, that he had activated, to reserve his energy and the battle lasted almost 10 minutes, even with Adam using his full power.

Although he was developing in terms of knowledge, power and combat prowess, so were the beasts and Adam's battles with beasts were becoming longer and longer.

Taking a short break to recover after defeating the beast, Adam made sure to collect the beast type as the base beast for his Arachnida Summon and was amazed by the useful special traits of the insect beasts that he had come across so far on Floor 9.

Stage 2 only had Giant White Spider Beasts and lucky they didn't work together, but that was to be expected as they had no reason to and each beast alone had the same capability of an army with their Special Web Creation and Manipulation special trait.

After Adam finally completed Stage 2 that took him longer than he had expected, he was anxious and excited to move onto Stage 3 and was curious as to what beast he would have to face.

The Dungeon System was becoming more and more unpredictable and all Adam could do was become so powerful, that no matter what the system threw at him, he could overcome it.

On Stage 3 he was surprised that he only had to face a single beast as from what he could sense, there was only a single beast on the entire large Stage 3.

The environment was much drier than that of Stage 2, but still had trees and was multiple times larger than the entirety of the early floors of the Mortal Dungeon.

Despite their only being a single beast on the Stage, Adam didn't dare to underestimate it and every insect beast that he had come across so far, had a powerful special trait that was very pesky to deal with.

His insect beast collection was expanding with all of the insect beasts that he was collecting, and each of them had powerful, useful and dangerous special traits that made them an army that was hidden within him and he could use it at any moment.

As soon as he reached a 1-kilometre radius of the beast that he was able to sense the presence of using the Sensory Enhancement Technique that his master had taught him, the beast suddenly activated its special trait.

After he gained basic mastery over the technique, the system adapted and improved it and after Adam increased his mastery over it to 20%, upon using it, his senses would be amplified by 20 times.

For his spiritual sense, it would use his Internal Energy, while for his physical senses it would use his External Energy to enhance them and Adam used his Internal Energy to amplify his spiritual sense each time he entered the dungeon.

With it, he had a basic idea of how widely spread beasts were and how many of them there were, but he hadn't reached the level of mastery and understanding of his spiritual sense that would allow him to sense the power of those, that were far away from him, with it.

Adam didn't know what to expect from it and he was also close to the beast, so could quickly reach it or retreat, so was unsure what the beast could possibly do.

However, when he sensed the presence of other beasts appear, he suddenly realised what it was and was shocked the find that the aura of the beasts that were produced by the initial beast kept growing stronger.

[Ava, what is this?!] asked Adam within his mind as he dashed towards the beasts, wanting to take them down before any more were produced and before they grew stronger.

As he asked, the status of the beast appeared before him and along with it was a short explanation about the beast's special trait that Ava provided him.

[How does this ability even make sense? That special trait is too powerful to be real] exclaimed Adam within his mind.

The Boss Beast of Floor 9 was the Giant Ant Queen Beast and was a one of a kind beast that had a rare special trait.

Adam had requested Ava to produce him a grading system for the special traits of the beasts that he faced, for his own convenience, and made her grade them based on their power, rarity and usefulness.

His request was something that the system's program allowed Ava to do and the Ant Production special trait that the Giant Ant Queen had was the highest-graded special trait that Adam had come across.

[I must kill that beast and need to be alive after killing it so that I can collect the beast type. But I need to do so quickly as the ants that she produces will only continue to become stronger until they become just as strong as she is] thought Adam to himself after reading the brief description that Ava provided him.

By the time Adam reached the Giant Ant Queen, which wasn't long at all with his speed, it had already produced three ant beasts and the rate at which their power was increasing was incredible.

They had already managed to progress and become rank 4 beasts and their increase in power showed no signs of stopping.

[This is the last floor before the final floor of the Mortal Dungeon. I need to finish this quickly and this is merely one of the hundreds of floors that I will clear on my journey] declared Adam within his mind as he rushed towards the giant ant beasts that stood huddled together.
