[ Spirit Axion, Level Up: Lv.10 → Lv.11 ]
[ Spirit Black Cat Spirit, Level Up: Lv.1 → Lv.15 ]
Yukino looked at the level-up notifications, slightly dazed.
No comparison, no harm.
Are you kidding me?!
More than ten monsters over level 20, and Axion only leveled up once?!
In contrast, the Black Cat Spirit, who only provided a slight assist, instantly gained 15 levels?!
Indeed, an SSR needs many times more experience to level up than a common Spirit.
“Fat Yu, why are you spacing out?”
Axion turned his head and saw Yukino still standing there in a daze.
Hearing his words, she snapped out of it, jogged to catch up, and with a slight wave of her hand, absorbed all the Spirit Stones on the ground into the Spirit Master’s exclusive space.
The space, built by a Spirit Master with spiritual power, could store Spirit Stones and various materials dropped by monsters, which was quite convenient, similar to a storage ring.
“This pace is a bit slow for clearing the dungeon; let’s speed up a bit.”
After Axion finished speaking, he reached out and used Cursed Technique: Blue’s gravitational pull to grab Yukino’s waist, and she suddenly became airborne.
“Hey, hey… wait, what are you doing, Axion…!”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was carried and sprinted away at high speed.
The surrounding scenery moved rapidly, and the strong wind whipped her face!
Along the way, monsters in the dungeon continuously attacked, but Axion easily flicked them away with a raised hand, crushing and slaughtering them, turning them into Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stones automatically flew into Yukino’s Spirit Master space at her waist.
Yukino couldn’t resist at all, being carried like an object, and could only loudly retort in exasperation:
“Can’t you at least carry me in a bridal carry?!”
Little Black clung to her collar with difficulty, also letting out a “meow.”
In this way, the speed at which the two cleared the dungeon was indeed fast enough!
Axion killed while sprinting, slaughtering through the dungeon tunnels like a swimming dragon.
Any monster that pounced on him was instantly crushed.
In less than five minutes.
They saw the final dungeon BOSS room.
Axion finally stopped, released her, and said, “So heavy, you should go on a diet.”
Yukino was a bit frantic, “Where am I heavy?”
She had been carried and run for a while, feeling a bit unsteady on her feet.
She stood up and tidied her beautiful hair, which had been blown into a bird’s nest by the wind.
During this time, many level 20+ small monsters were killed, but Axion’s level only reached 12.
Little Black was already level 20…
Axion surveyed the dungeon BOSS room in front of him, “Fat Yu, how much spiritual power do you have left?”
Yukino felt it, her expression surprised.
She was the top new student in spiritual power, and she also had the passive buff from the Spirit Little Black.
But after this trip, she had already consumed thirty percent of her spiritual power!
“Seventy percent, I guess…”
Yukino felt a bit disheartened; her proud spiritual power was completely insufficient for Axion.
They hadn’t even fought the dungeon BOSS yet…
Axion put his hands on his hips and stretched his body.
He didn’t make any rude remarks this time, only wanting to get a general understanding of the situation so he could allocate his strength.
“That’s enough.
Let’s fight the BOSS.”
Yukino nodded slightly, her nerves tense, shrinking behind Axion for a sense of security:
“The BOSS of a two-star dungeon is usually a level 40 monster.”
“However, there’s an extremely rare situation where a level 50 red-named BOSS can appear.
It’s very difficult to defeat, but it also drops a lot of experience and Spirit Stones, as well as rare materials.”
“It’s said that the trigger conditions are very strict, so we probably won’t encounter it…”
Axion pushed open the BOSS door with one hand in his pocket.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
Inside the room, layers of blue bonfires lit up one by one, illuminating the surroundings.
The BOSS’s figure appeared!
In mid-air, a massive black ghost-like monster floated.
It was enormous, about three stories high.
It wore a black cloak emblazoned with stars and wielded a giant scythe, like a grim reaper claiming lives!
The red level indicator, unique to red-named BOSSes, lit up above its head, boldly displaying its imposing name:
[ Level 50, Red-named BOSS, Calamity Scythe!
]
Yukino’s beautiful big eyes were filled with terror, and she swallowed hard:
“No way, speak of the devil!”
Axion, however, smiled happily, “Good luck, we hit the jackpot!”
The black ghost trembled, and a wave of air swept through, making Yukino’s long hair fly and her robes flap.
Her exposed slender white legs couldn’t stop trembling slightly.
It was her first time personally facing a powerful dungeon BOSS, and she was genuinely scared for a moment.
Looking at the crimson red name, Yukino felt like retreating.
“Axion, how about we run?
A level 50 red-named monster is too difficult for a level 12 you to handle!”
Even for an SSR, it’s probably impossible to fight a level 50 BOSS at level 12…
Axion raised an eyebrow slightly, “We’re already in the dungeon, can we still run?”
Yukino pulled out the teleportation crystal given to new students by the academy and explained:
“Dungeons within the Spirit Master Academy, unlike wild monster dungeons outside, have a safety feature: you can use a teleportation crystal to escape at any time.”
Axion smiled confidently and walked forward, “No need.
Trust me, I told you, I’m the strongest!”
Isn’t this a heaven-sent opportunity to level up?
He didn’t want to miss it.
Axion took off the blindfold on his face, revealing a pair of sky-blue eyes, brilliant like jewels!
Yukino was momentarily stunned; this was the first time Axion had taken off his blindfold.
She had never seen such beautiful eyes!
Like a deep ocean, or a clear blue sky, or a brilliant galaxy…
Such eyes, paired with Axion’s handsome face and dazzling silver hair, instantly made it impossible to look away!
For a moment, Yukino couldn’t help but stare.
She inexplicably felt at ease, temporarily dispelling her fear.
The dungeon BOSS looked at the silver-haired man in front of him, who was approaching without any defenses, and immediately became enraged!
It suddenly swung the scythe in its hand, chopping towards Axion’s head!
Boom!
A powerful gust of wind swept across the entire area.
Yukino closed her eyes in fright.
When she opened them again, she found that the sharp scythe was motionless, suspended in front of Axion.
“Eh…?”
“What happened?”
Even the BOSS Calamity Scythe’s expression showed a hint of astonishment.
Axion brushed the dust off his shoulder, his bright eyes looking at the BOSS, and a slight smile played on his lips as he said:
“Do you understand?
Between us…”
He smiled and held up two fingers, “There’s an infinite distance.”
Axion knew Yukino wanted to understand his abilities so she could plan tactics later.
Although he felt it wasn’t necessary, he still respected his Master and began to explain:
“This is my Limitless / Limitless Void.”
“Its essence is the materialization of ‘Achilles and the Tortoise Paradox’.”
“It can interfere with matter at the atomic level and control space.”
“However, it requires extremely precise manipulation of cursed energy, so only a Rikugan / Six Eyes user can use this technique.”
“Simply put, Limitless / Limitless Void is relative stillness in reality.
The closer an object or attack gets to me, the slower its speed becomes, thus it can never touch me.”
Yukino was amazed after hearing this.
She had seen many powerful Spirit skills on the Spirit Master official website, but she had never seen anything so buggy!
The mathematical concept of infinity had actually been realized in reality!
Yukino had originally thought Axion was an arrogant braggart, but now it seemed he had every right to be arrogant!
With Limitless / Limitless Void, even if Axion was only level 10, he could still fight strong enemies!
Because this skill was a mechanism-type ability, unrelated to level strength.
Whether he was level 10 or level 100, he could still use it.
In other words.
Axion’s defense was approximately equal to infinity?!
