Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

Noan also realized that it seemed like, on this 10th floor, he could only fight alone, or perhaps he and Vylyss had been separated.

He looked around; this space seemed somewhat similar to a place he had seen before.

There were floating black cubes everywhere, and on the ground were several large cubes resembling massive stones.

These cubes were perfectly square like some extremely advanced human technology had created them.

Noan didn't move, standing still as he scanned his surroundings, his awareness heightened to the maximum.

The Abyss Cube was also ready to transform into anything Noan wanted.

At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared before him. It wasn't a replica of him but the dark silhouette of a man.

Although it was just a shadow, Noan could tell that the man was relatively slender, wearing a cloak, holding a staff of magical authority in one hand and a Lancer in the other.

What stood out was the crown on his head, emitting a dazzling golden glow.

[Ding! Opponent defeated, you may now complete the challenge of this floor.]

...

Name: Kotarok

Class: Dragon Knight

Rank: D Peak (SS)

Level: 3 (10)

...

Name: ???

Race: Black Dragon

Rank: D Peak (SS)

Level: 3 (10)

...

Noan saw the two information panels appear and immediately knew they were the details of the man and the dragon.

However, their strength was still limited to Rank D Peak, Level 3.

In reality, their rank had already reached 10, and their true rank was SS.

However, what caught Noan's attention was the name of the man.

"Kotarok?!" Noan mumbled. "That's the name of the former emperor... could it be...?"

While Noan was trying to make sense of it, the shadowy figure immediately raised his magical staff, and a blinding light burst from the staff.

Then, the staff began to wriggle violently like a snake.

It slowly expanded, sprouting four legs and two wings, transforming into an actual dragon.

A black Western dragon, covered in a layer of night, incredibly mysterious and dangerous.

The shadowy figure leaped onto the dragon's back, and the Lancer, in his hand, pointed directly at Noan.

GRAOO!!!

The dragon roared, its roar becoming a fierce wind blowing toward Noan.

Luckily, his strength was no longer the same as before; his body was now rooted to the ground like a stone, unaffected by the violent wind.

The Black Dragon slowly flapped its wings and soared high, then looked down at him.

Although Noan couldn't see the expression of the man or the dragon, he could feel the disdain coming from them.

Noan frowned, sensing their disdain and feeling a heavy pressure as though a large stone was weighing down on his back.

He realized it was the pressure from the difference in race and rank.

Indeed, when facing legendary races, especially the Dragon race, one would have to bear the pressure from them.

This was known as bloodline pressure.

It was like a deer facing a tiger, and Noan's situation was the same.

However, now that he had come this far, he could not easily back down.

The Abyss Cube immediately transformed into a bow, which Noan grasped.

The bowstring was pulled taut, and the energy formed into a light arrow shot toward the Black Dragon.

Whoosh!

The sound of the wind shrieking echoed as the arrow flew toward the Black Dragon like a beam of light in the dark.

"Huh!" Kotarok sniffed, the disdain visible in his expression.

The Black Dragon likely shared the same thought as Kotarok, so it didn't bother to avoid the arrow, casually spitting out a black fireball.

However... the arrow suddenly vanished.

"Hm?!"

BAM!

At that moment, a loud explosion rang out, and the Black Dragon's wings exploded. The blast was so powerful that it turned into a shockwave, pushing everything around.

GRAOO!!!

The Black Dragon roared in agony.

Noan wasn't sure if it felt pain, but that was enough to make him realize that the opponent clearly didn't understand his true power.

The light arrow earlier hadn't been enough to hurt the Black Dragon's wings, but one arrow wasn't enough—ten arrows would be.

GRAOO!!

At that moment, a black fireball was spewed from the Black Dragon's mouth, flying straight toward Noan.

However, Noan remained still, not moving, his hand still pulling the bowstring.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Countless light arrows shot out from the bow, transforming into streaks of light racing toward the Black Dragon.

Seeing the fireball was less than a meter away from him, Noan used his spatial energy to teleport to a position over ten meters away.

BAM!

Only a moment later, the fireball exploded upon hitting the ground, creating a massive explosion and leaving a large crater.

Kotarok raised the Lancer in his hand, and a protective magical shield enveloped him and the Black Dragon.

"Foolish!" Noan muttered.

Just as the arrows were about to hit the shield, they suddenly vanished.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Immediately, a series of explosions erupted from within the shield.

At this point, the shield no longer served as protection; it turned into a cage, trapping the force of the explosions inside, significantly amplifying the damage.

Noan saw the shield turn into a sphere, trapping the fire inside. Without hesitation, he pulled his bow again, ready to fire more arrows, but then he suddenly noticed something.

In the briefest moment, Noan's instinct sensed the breath of death right next to him.

He immediately used his innate ability to teleport.

Whoosh!

A Lancer thrust directly into the spot where Noan had just been.

BAM!

The Lancer collided and stabbed deep into the ground, causing cracks to spread like a web from the impact.

Noan stabilized his form and raised the bow again.

However, the Black Dragon seemed to have anticipated the position where he would teleport. A fireball appeared right in front of him.

"Tsk!" Noan clicked his tongue, quickly using his spatial ability to teleport again.

But the Black Dragon knew his position. As soon as he reappeared, a fireball was already heading toward him, forcing him to use his innate spatial ability continuously.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The explosions rang out quickly, with the fireballs wreaking havoc everywhere, turning the space into what felt like a shower of meteors.

At this moment, Noan could truly feel how terrifying the 10th floor was.

It must be understood that before reaching level 4, regular lords had nothing special about them. Their physique was just like that of an ordinary person.

However, Noan was one of the most special lords, possessing exceptional strength before reaching level 4 and without any class.

Because of this, if an ordinary lord stepped into the challenge on this 10th floor, they would undoubtedly fail within the first second.

How could an ordinary person fight against a Black Dragon and a Dragon Knight?

The answer was "No."

Noan possessed many unique abilities, including his spatial innate ability, which allowed him to dodge fireballs, which seemed to predict his movements.

Without this spatial innate ability, he would indeed have been burned to ashes by the fireball.

However, constantly dodging like this wasn't a good thing. Noan could feel the energy within his body continuously depleting.

While his spatial innate ability was powerful, it consumed much energy.

No matter how much energy he had, it wouldn't be enough to keep dodging fireballs indefinitely.

Therefore, he had to find a way to end this energy-draining process.

Noan teleported once more, and when he saw a fireball heading toward him, he immediately used teleportation again.

In less than a second, he appeared above the Black Dragon.

The Abyss Cube immediately transformed, shifting from a bow to a gun.

If a soldier were here, they would recognize that the weapon in Noan's hand was a DENEL NTW-20.

This gun could penetrate even armored tanks, destroying radar systems or satellites.

He didn't believe that the Black Dragon or the man could withstand it if he fired at such close range.

The energy within his body was maximized, forming a thread thick enough, sharp, and sharper than the best quality bullet for this gun.

BAM!
