Anton spent the whole day with Luna and Alfred, spending an astounding 30,000 gold coins purchasing useful and not-so-useful things. When they returned home, he gave a copy of the last film in the Harry Potter franchise and promised Alfred and Luna that they would watch the Star Wars movies that he teased them about once he returned from his dungeon delving.
He then met with Raymond regarding the status of the manor, and when he received assurance that everything should be stabled, Anton told the butler that he would be gone for the next six or seven days.
Anton planned to challenge the 65th floor of the Corridors of Amuneta Dungeon. While flying towards the high-level dungeon, he contemplated delving into the dangerous floors. If truth be told, he felt that he had enough battle experience and that the best thing that he could do was focus on leveling up his characters in his system. He had an inkling that maybe once he completed this season ladder, his Diablo II system might surprise him by giving him an update that would allow him to increase his power.
Even if his system did not update, he still could increase his power by filling his inventory with powerful charms. Even though his inventory was limited, at least compared to his personal chest inside the game, it would still allow him to fit a lot of powerful charms.
When Anton arrived at the Adventurer Guild branch and requested the 65th floor, it took a while for the guild staff to provide it since they had to verify his information, which annoyed him. He decided that he would also complete the quest items needed to upgrade his Adventurer Guild's rank because, apparently, having a Platinum Rank would give him VIP services from the Adventurer Guild. After a surprising couple of hours, the guild finally gave him the dungeon key to the 65th floor.
Anton learned that after the 60th floor, he had to sign a lot of documents because, according to the guild person, even the most powerful adventurers frequently lost their lives on the floors past the 60th floor of the high-level dungeon. Considering that he delved into the floors alone, the guild person admitted that they were looking into his situation since his being able to dive the deep floors of a high-level dungeon was highly abnormal. It was a symbol of him being a truly powerful mage, and the guild person added that once he exited the 60th floor, he would have to be subjected to the mage rank test.
At first, Anton wanted to argue with the guild regarding the mandatory rank test since it felt to him that they were infringing on his freedom, but the fact was, he was also curious about his current rank. He was sure, though, that he was still at the archmage rank, and he would probably reach the Supreme Rank once he leveled up all the Diablo II characters that he could for the current ladder season. After thinking about it, Anton decided to be amiable and agreed to the request of the guild, which made the guild person sigh in relief.
After he was done with the guild branch, Anton didn't waste any more time and headed directly to the dungeon entrance. The moment he entered the 65th floor, he saw that the setting was a dead city and knew that he would be battling undead monsters.
Anton summoned all of his summons and prepared himself. He knew the battle that he was going to encounter was going to be intense. Of course, he didn't forget to tie in his newly created ladder Druid to the dungeon so that it would level up with the experience points from the dungeon monsters.

When he encountered ten werewolves, one of them larger than the other, which was probably the so-called Alpha werewolf, he knew he was correct. That he would be fighting dark monsters like werewolves and vampires.
The first thing Anton did was cast curses at the monsters, then he cast ice spells to slow them down. He then activated his Fanaticism Aura and commanded all of his summons to attack. He turned his attention to the alpha werewolf because he noticed that the monsters were extremely agile and powerful, the alpha more so.
During the fights, Anton had to utilize his Teleport spell and his Telekinesis to avoid getting hit by the alpha werewolf. He did get hit and fortunately, his defenses were enough to avoid receiving a large enough damage to incapacitate him. The damage was big enough that he needed to briefly switch to the Prayer Aura to heal himself.
Some of his summons also died, which was a testament to how powerful the monsters were, but he always summoned them back immediately.
Being able to summon his summons immediately was a great advantage because Anton could focus on killing the monsters one at a time. The variety of his spells all helped him in killing the werewolves.
After several minutes, he finally killed the Alpha Werewolf, and soon, the minions fell one after another. His Valkyrie then led him to the chest that contained the magic items, and he knew that the items from this floor would be extraordinarily powerful based on the glow of their enchantments.
Anton checked his guild booklet to verify which items he could harvest from the werewolves that he could submit as quest items. When he saw that the hearts of these werewolves were the quest items, he was thankful again that his summons could harvest the body parts for him.
After he cleaned and stored the body parts, Anton then stored the mana stones that appeared after the remaining corpses disappeared, and then he moved on.
The next set of monsters that he encountered were vampires, and again, one of them was the boss. The fight was longer this time since the vampires could cast spells. Anton finally had to use his brain so much because he needed to utilize some strategic battle moves to prevent receiving severe damage from the dungeon monsters.
There was all of his wolves died, and he had to fly away to summon them again. Because of that, he had to be mindful of his summons' health and would switch to the Prayer Aura to heal them once they received enough damage that they might be killed.
After several minutes of exhausting battle, he finally killed all of the vampires. Anton knew that his estimate was correct. It would take him several days to complete the 65th floor.
During the next several days, he fought with powerful dark monsters. There was an instance in which a powerful vampire lord managed to cut off his arm, and thankfully, his Prayer Aura was able to regenerate it without any issues.
But that fact meant that the monsters on the floor were truly capable of killing him, and because of that, Anton became extra careful in his dealings with the dungeon monsters. Because of that, his survival instincts were greatly stimulated, and Anton felt that his battle experience was truly growing. He also felt that his summons was learning how to adapt, but more than likely, it was just a reflection of his learning.
After six days of grueling life-and-death battles, Anton finally completed the 65th floor. He didn't leave the dungeon immediately and decided to rest for the night inside. He managed to collect around 30 medium-level mana stones and 24 high-level mana stones. He also collected a lot of powerful magic items. His ladder Druid also leveled up to level 23, which was great news to Anton since while he was inside the 65th floor, he didn't level up his character, and the character's leveling up was totally dependent on the experience points that were gathered from the dungeon monsters.
