[Location: Black Dragon Tower, Lobby.] [Status: Total Chaos.]
"Intruders! Kill them!" Five hundred security guards charged forward, waving electric batons and shields. To normal people, this was an army. To Chen Qing, this was... traffic.
"Out of my way." Chen Qing didn't even draw his sword. He just walked. [Dragon Aura: Repulsion Field.]
Boom. Every step he took sent an invisible shockwave rippling through the floor. Guards were blasted away like bowling pins. They hit the walls, the ceiling, the reception desk.
"This is boring," Sun Mengjia yawned, reloading her rocket launcher. "Can we take the elevator? My legs are tired."
They walked to the VIP Elevator in the center of the lobby. The doors opened automatically (because General Fluffles bit the control panel).
[System Warning:] [Trap Detected.]
Chen Qing smiled. "Let's go." The trio (and the dog) stepped into the golden elevator. Chen Qing pressed the button for the Top Floor.
...
[Top Floor, Monitoring Room.]
The Black Dragon King watched the screen, swirling a glass of red wine (which was actually blood). "Fools," he sneered. "They walked right into the coffin."
He pressed a red button on his desk. "Cut the cables."
SNAP.
High up in the shaft, the thick steel cables holding the elevator were severed by explosives. The golden box, weighing 2 tons, lost all support. It began to freefall from the 20th floor. Gravity took over.
Inside the elevator. "We are falling!" Sun Mengjia squealed. "Weee! It's like a roller coaster!" She floated in the air due to zero gravity, trying to catch her floating potato chips.
General Fluffles was paddling in the air, looking confused. Why was the floor gone?
"Going down?" Chen Qing looked at the floor indicator rapidly decreasing numbers. "No. We are going up."
He stomped his foot. [Genetic Lock: Phase 2 - Flash Step (Vertical).]
CRASH! Chen Qing kicked through the ceiling of the elevator car. He grabbed Sun Mengjia with one arm and the dog with the other. Then, he jumped.
He didn't jump off the floor. He kicked the falling elevator down. Using the falling box as a stepping stone, he launched himself upward like a missile.
The elevator car crashed into the basement with a massive explosion. BOOM!
But Chen Qing was already soaring up the shaft, grabbing the severed cables. "Express delivery," he muttered, running up the vertical wall of the shaft.
[Floor 30.] Ding. Chen Qing kicked open the elevator doors from the inside.
A massive man was waiting there. He held a minigun and was covered in scars. [Boss: The Butcher (One of the Four Kings).] [Rank: B+]
"Hahaha! Did you enjoy the fa—" The Butcher stopped laughing. Because no one was in the elevator. Wait. He looked up.
A shoe was rapidly expanding in his vision.
SMACK. Chen Qing flew out of the shaft, planting his foot directly into The Butcher's face.
The B-Rank Boss didn't even get to fire his gun. He was launched backward, smashing through three concrete walls before landing in the office photocopier.
"Paper jam," Sun Mengjia giggled, landing gracefully beside Chen Qing.
"Woof!" General Fluffles landed last. He shook his fur and peed on the unconscious Butcher's minigun.
Chen Qing dusted off his suit. "One down. Three to go."
[System Notification:] [Guardian Eliminated.] [Floors Remaining: 50.] [Next Boss: The Poison Lady.]
"Let's take the stairs," Chen Qing said. "Exercise is good for digestion."
