[ Wave 99/100 starts in 00:00:59 ] The moment this notification popped up, everyone resting on the ground dragged themselves to their feet to fight once again. It was only Dustin's second day in this Dungeon, but he had become extremely tired. The lack of rest and sleep was eating away at him. Now he could truly understand how the others felt, especially the ones who had been trapped in this endless slaughter for days. As the wave numbers went up, the number of monsters and their levels went up too. Not by much, just one, two, or three levels at a time. In the last wave, many monsters were above level 50, and a few even broke past 60. But since there were still more than fifty people fighting together, it wasn't a very big problem, even though no one had any real coordination. The main reason for this lack of teamwork was simple. Everyone was trying to fight as little as possible while gaining as much experience as possible. That meant stealing other people's kills. Just like Dustin had planned and was currently doing, everyone else was doing the exact same thing. During this time, Dustin had leveled up quite a bit. He had already reached level 38 and was right on the edge of 39. His Physical Strength, Agility, and Stamina had all crossed over 100. His Vitality and Endurance were also nearing 100. It just left his Wisdom and Intelligence sitting very low. He had thought about it a lot but still couldn't figure out a proper way to increase those stats fast, other than dumping bonus points into them. From what he had noticed, he would get a random Intelligence point or two when he used a smart strategy or pushed his brain to its limits. But what about Wisdom? How do you increase that naturally? He still had no idea.

"And if I get lucky, I might even push 41 or 42 by the end." WHOOSH! Hundreds of monsters started appearing in flashes of light, all different types, shapes, and species. Dustin quickly scanned the horde. The monsters this time ranged from level 30 to 65, with a handful hitting 70. The higher-level monsters were very rare. You could easily count them on one hand. Dustin's main targets were the monsters between level 40 and 50. Anything below his own level was just a waste of energy, and the stronger ones were too hard to kill. Not to mention, many people were targeting the strong ones, making it nearly impossible to secure a kill-steal. Dustin was completely exhausted. All he wanted was to get out of here, lie down, and take a very long, deep nap. But at the same time, he was thrilled. Not just because he was leveling up fast, but because he was now rich in points. He had earned over 8,000 points in just two days in this Dungeon! And that was after spending points on poison, healing potions, and upgrading his daggers. He had thought about buying a new skill but held himself back. He decided to wait until the dungeon was over, just in case something unexpected happened. "You again," Dustin chuckled, looking at a specific monster. It was very cute looking. It wasn't big, roughly only two feet tall, with four legs, two long ears, and fluffy white and pink fur. But it was insanely fast and dangerous. Its bite was deadly. Just a few waves back, it had caught Dustin by surprise. Its mouth had split open all the way to the back of its neck, almost completely biting off Dustin's abdomen. BAM! CLASH! BOOM! The war between the monsters and humans erupted once again. SLASH! "Still as fast as ever, huh?" Dustin grunted as the cute monster dodged his dagger by a hair. Their fight continued, neither backing down. But then, Dustin suddenly turned away from the monster and dashed sideways. "Get back here, you coward!" two men shouted. They were chasing a level 46 bull that was trying to run away. It was heavily injur
