Leo woke up and he saw Leah"s face right in front of his own . He looked at her for a while as they both blinked their eyes in confusion .
" What were you trying ?" He said as he continued on looking into her eyes . His eyes shined as he felt the disturbances in her Mana .
She wanted to continue looking into those beautiful golden eyes , drowning in their brightness , but she moved away , in fear of making Leo uncomfortable . " Nothing ." She said as she hid her face that had become slightly red . She looked down towards the stairs .
" What are the monsters down there ?" Leo asked showing he was not affected by what just happened .
" This dungeon contains fire elemental monsters . Down below are Fire Lizards . They should be just a little stronger than the cows ." She said with a tone containing a tinge of disappointment .
" Sorry for just now . I fainted because I hadn"t slept for a while . " He said . He thought she had come after he didn"t go down for some time .
She simply nodded to show she neither agreed or disagreed with his a.s.sumption .
Leo got up and Leah picked the sheet of cloth back up . They went down , this time Leo had nothing to disturb him so they slowly made their way to the lower floors .
After floor 2 Leo received another alert .

He simply smiled to himself as he continued on towards the 3rd floor . Leah looked at him with a gaze he didn"t quite understand , but he just thought she was weirded out by the blood that dried on his hands .
As soon as they reached
" Dungeons are quite good for training . it took me about 7 days to get my gift"s proficiency up to 83% but in just the last few hours it had went up by the remaining 17% ." He thought to himself .
[ Gift:Reaper will be ready for use in 7 days ]
He looked at the alert in front of his eyes and shook his head " I forgot about that . It must be related to the scythe ... " He reached out for the mark behind his neck but to his surprise , it wasn"t present there .
[ All G.o.d"s of death have £∆¢€£ emissaries ]
[ Kill the other emissaries to make your Mark Of Death stronger . ]
[ The Mark Of Death is moved to the part of the body , that the death G.o.d used to create the emissary ]
[ User Leo"s Mark Of Death is located at his chest ]
" Oh my G.o.d ! An actual answer ! " He stopped killing and shouted . He was so surprised by the system"s action he got even more pumped up than before . He then looked around and saw he unwillingly activated [Fear] . All the Hot Porks ( A/n : I"m brain dead . Hit me ) around him looked at him in fear as he just laughed and continued killing them " Who am I kidding . It just told me I have compet.i.tors that will come to kill me ."
He realized perhaps not knowing was much , much better than not knowing he was a target for someone to to kill , and he didn"t even get a definite number .
" I"ll , " he said as fire burned atop both his claws " Deal with it " He raised his hands " as it comes " and punched straight to the ground as a wave of fire was released all around him .
" And I guess magic can"t be any better than this ." He laughed .
By the time they reached the stairs to the 4th floor ,
[ Time spent in dungeon : 18 hours ]
a long time had pa.s.sed .
[ All attributes increased by 1.1 ]
[ Growth boost : 3.4 ]
[ Growth boost : 3.5 ]
[ Growth boost : 3.6 ]
[ Growth boost : 3.7 ]
He knew the next floor didn"t have many monsters . " It has only one "
" Boss floor ." Leah said .
Leo nodded . This would be his first boss in a dungeon since he came to this world .
" What tier are you ?" Leah asked .
" Basic-intermediate ." He knew what she was asking . She wanted to know whether he was ready to face a boss with the mana of a middle-intermediate tier monster .
" Wanna turn back ?" Leo said as he held onto her hand . His other hand subconsciously reached onto his chest , where the tattoo was . He didn"t know where it was , but it was as if it was calling him . " Use me , master ." He heard the scythe in his head . He shook his head and removed his hand from his chest .
" Not yet . I can"t turn back now ." Leah said as her hold onto his hand tightened .
" Run back if you feel you can"t do it . I think I ... could at least make enough time ."
" Not until I need you " He silenced the voice in his head ." As you wish , master ."
" Let"s go ."
He released her hand and , as if she knew what he wanted , she followed 2 steps directly behind him .
The floor became hotter , it was not unbearable , but Leo could directly feel the heat hit his body .
As soon as they reached the 4th floor , they saw a giant monster , bipedal , from how it looked , standing in the middle of the floor facing the wall opposite to them .
He felt his heart beat fasten and his bloodl.u.s.t rising .
" Elly , you don"t have to fight ." He said . " Just increase its perception to its maximum when I tell you to ." He looked back and gave Leah a sidelong glance , because he wanted to hide his smile .
Leah nodded and stood there , ready to act at any time .
Leo walked forward , slowly towards the monster . " An actual fantasy monster " He thought to himself . " and not just an animal " He continued . " An orc ." His steps quickened " Oversized " His claws appeared . " Lit on fire " And directly lit on a black flame " But , regardless " He ran straight to it " Still just a orc ."
He jumped and in midair , roared .
[ Ineffective ]
He sneered . " Doesn"t matter " [Fear] did not work . " That wasn"t a part of the strategy anyways ."
He did a front flip and kicked toward its head . The orc , faster than Leo"s kick could land , turned around and used its club to block the kick .
" That makes it all the more fun ."
He jumped off of the club and it instantly lit on fire . He landed on the ground not far away from the orc , and looked at it , straight into the eyes . " Even if it can"t use it , it has way more mana than me ." The orc , whose hand and leg joints were lit on fire looked back at him .
" About 30 , if counted in attribute points , I guess . " He ran towards the orc and used his claws to try and pierce through it"s skin . Its skin was tough , but not tough enough for leo"s claws to not go through it .
His claws just barely scratched against it"s skin , but it still roared in anger .
" Aaaaaaaauuuuuuugghhhhhhhhhhh"
" They don"t go through completely " He looked at his claws and back at the orc rushing at him with its club held high " But go through regardless ." He slashed at the orc with his claws again and again , trying to hit the same location . Sometimes he succeeded and the wounds around its neck and hands started getting deeper . Leo focussed on slashing its neck , and continued around the same area as he dodged the club it swung at him .
"Deeper " He hit its neck once more . He could almost see an artery near its neck . " Just a bit more ." He hit the same place again as he jumped over its head . " I won"t kill you " He smiled as he hit it at its arm " I promise , I won"t ." His smile slowly deepened " I will make you beg to be killed ." he slashed at its leg and jumped above it again " The orc turned around to face him but he was already on the other side . " It must hurt right " He slashed at its neck as he fell down . " It must make you want to die ." He slashed at it calf and deepened its injuries even more . The orc turned once more , but this time Leo waited for it to turn . As soon as it did , Leo jumped and slashed its face , straight through the eyes . " Let go of your sanity " He got behind it again , as the orc dropped its club and held its face . Mid fall he slashed down the whole of its back . " Let the pain in " He slashed at its claves again and again till the orc fell to the ground . " Feel it " His flames grew in size . He looked towards Leah , who understood what he meant and instantly did her job . " Because you will feel even the flames betray you " he put his left hand in his pant"s pocket and relaxed his body " Because it is about to get a lot worse " as soon as he saw the mana around it change he pointed his hand at the back of the monster " As you meet your end at the worst hands " and his [breath] worked how it was supposed to and became a flamethrower . Leo couldn"t hold it any longer as he laughed , like a madman , seeing the orc burn to the ground .
