Looking at the durability he sighed, the short sword is already battered and chipped at couple of places making it unbalanced and inaccurate.

Honestly thought it is already considered good in his situation, he can't give it proper maintenance due to the monsters nearby and it irritates him seeing his friend gift reaching this kind of condition.

Shaking his head he continue venturing deeper into the cavern, he already spent too much time here but since his last upgrade he has confirmed that these creature aren't a threat anymore.

Of course his Lv is still too low to actually a.n.a.lyze them but the scattered corpses behind him should be proof enough.

As he keep moving and killing, he begins to wonder how the host will be, this is a dungeon after all so there's got to be one.

Maybe it'll be a dinosaur or maybe it's a chimera or maybe it could be some kinda ancient being. Thinking about it bring a smile to his face as he chop the serpent in his way, he is looking forward to return the "hospitality" he received.

After exploring for a while there is only one road left that he hadn't map yet in the entire maze like cavern system, returning to his drop spot he found something that left his mouth agape. A black 10 meter tall crystal obelisk.

"The h.e.l.l is this thing?!" He said before walking up to the strange obelisk.

Circling it, he found nothing useful but the fact that it is engraved with many weird patterns and runes.

Standing in front of it Vayne raise his hand and touch the obelisk, the moment he make contact the obelisk let out a blinding shine.

[Elevator port active, new data registered to all active ports. No destination available.]

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

"Hehehe by now that pest must have perished, about time anyway for I am behind schedule already." A young man in Black said to himself as he stare off into s.p.a.ce.

"There, now that stupid hole on the ground have a use for every floor, an elevator." Nodding to himself, he seems proud.

"Hmm? A new user, that's fast." He mumbled with a puzzled look and start moving his hand aimlessly in the air, soon he froze then quickly stood up and storm out of the core room.

"That s.h.i.tty thing is still alive, useless animals! Just like the book says, if you want something right then do it yourself!"

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

The port left him with questions and irritations but that was all, after a short break he direct to his exploration towards the last corridor.

There are some reason why he haven't take this route, one there's a weird threatening presence ahead and two...

"Psssstt!"

"Ssshhaaa!"

There's these guys, unlike other places where there's only one or two, this route have three to four serpents.

Sigh... After going around hunting everything and another upgrade there's nothing to be worried about going melee against them but... Yeah... I'd rather not get eaten again.

Sending a couple of wind cutters the serpents excellently become dice and sliced meat.

Level up!

With those kills he finally reaches Lv17 but rather than happy he felt remorseful after all with the rise of Lv he will pay higher death penalty and killing them from a distance doesn't give him any RP, there's still many limitations and possibilities for the skills and the system but there is not enough information to figure it out.

While reaching out to extract the pile of meat Vayne suddenly felt a slight tingling from behind him, before he could really put two and two together his body already jump and roll to the side then face whatever was behind him.

Boom!

The pile of meat from before burst and turn to dust after being hit by some kind of black orb, if he didn't evade it would have been him.

"Hmph! You dare evade my attack? A pheasant like you should be honored to be killed by someone like me!" Sounded someone from the path where the orb comes. There stand a young man in Black robe and holding on some withered black staff with it's top looking like some skeletal hand grabbing a baseball size purple orb.

"Not talking? Are you so afraid in front of this mighty me that you cannot speak? Hmph worry not for I will give you a painless death." He said full of mockery and contempt.

Afraid? No. Angry? Yes, very much so. Just like those d.a.m.n bandits, attacking and killing for their amus.e.m.e.nt. Maybe I can't pay due debt to them yet but I definitely can return your favor.

Just like every time he meet something new down here, Vayne scan the man but unexpectedly the data are accessable. Looking at it he let out a taunting smirk at the man.

"What are you so proud about? You're just an ant." Vayne said, provoking his prey.

Enraged by his words the man raise his staff to cast his spell and launches it at Vayne but something unexpected happened, before he could mutter even gather Mana his target have instantly move in front of him and touch his staff. Right after his prided weapon turn to nothing, it stun him for a second but he quickly regain his focus, take a long step back and prepare to fight again.

But just like last time his opponent is already facing him and launch a straight punch directly to his rib cage, the hit felt like he has been hit by a cannon ball and he was push back a couple of meters.

Coughing out ink like murky blood the shade look up to his opponent, he still have that smirk but now it seems more like the smile of death itself. His mind couldn't comprehen it, as a puppet he indeed won't die unless his core is destroyed but how can he be so powerful? If he throw all his bonus status point to Intelligent so he could deal with his beasts, how can his strength be this strong. By the Aura power he had the last time he saw him, he shouldn't be that strong nor is it possible to be this strong in only three months!

Realizing he can't win now, he starts calling any beast that is alive to stall or kill this pest. After that command he turn around and start running, if he could reach the core room he will be in full power and with that he can defeat this c.o.c.kroach!

"Eh running already? Are we playing chase now? Alright I'll take you up on it." Said Vayne as his prey turn tail and run and give chase to it but he maintain a 5 meters gap between them.

They run, run and run, the deeper they go the more monsters coming to intercept Vayne and looking at his map he wasn't too pleased with a swarm of them coming from where they are going.

An idea come to mind and he smiled happily as he raise his speed, move past the shade and chop off both of his lower calfs. Screaming in agony the shade fall to the ground and Vayne crouch next to him. The man was fearful of Vayne smile.

"Hey, I know you summoned your pets so how about this, let's play hide and seek! I'll finish your pets first, while I do that you go hide somewhere. If I can't find you then you win, you get to keep your life and I'll leave this place." Vayne said nodding to his great idea then half glance at the man, still with a smile on his face.

"But if I win... I guess you already know." With that he part to eliminate the mobs.

An hour later, full of wounds and tired Vayne finally clear out the mobs. Harvesting a total of 3.102.630RP and leveling up to 23, It was a great boon.

Glancing at the empty spot that shade was before Vayne quickly turn over to his map. He never planned to play fair, the blood trail stops not far from the previous spot so his map and detection range is best tool left.

Confirming the location Vayne took out and drink some potions first before chasing after it, it wasn't far anyway.

The path the shade took is completely straight until it reached a large double door. Seeing his prey crawling and struggling, he let out a smile and teasingly announced his presence.

Using the build up momentum Vayne jump over the shade and throw his sword towards it's leading arm, making it let out a satisfying scream, then landing on the pommel of his sword.

For good measure, he step down and stomp on the shade other arm, breaking it, preventing it from using magic.

"Nothing more? No last boss, no guardians, no minions? So boring, I was expecting more from the dungeon master room." Said Vayne, scanning around the room. The walls of the room is crammed with rows and rows of filled bookshelves except one corner where there is a desk and some stack of papers. At the center there is a slight upward pedestal and on it is some kind of glowing purple crystal.

"What... Are you..." Cried the shade with hoa.r.s.e voice.

"Oh I forget your existence for a second there." The moment he finishes his words the sword already pulled out and a head was rolling on the floor.

"Alright then that was anticlimactic but let's forget it and check the loot in this room!" Vayne beaming with happiness as he start going around the room.
