Leon continued to command Selena. He pushed deeper into the dungeon. Along the way, the Magic Rabbits dissolved into streaks of white light one after another. Most of the energy flowed into Selena’s body. A smaller portion was absorbed by Leon himself.
At Level 2, the Thunderclap Tiger was even more formidable. With every movement, it seemed like thunder and wind swirled around her. Her white silver hair crackled with electricity. Her Purple eyes burned with fierce intensity.
The Level 1 Magic Rabbits fell even faster now. Leon followed behind as the two of them gradually advanced into the depths. Every encounter was a one-shot kill. Pure, absolute, without any suspense.
Under this relentless slaughter, soul energy skyrocketed. Soon they reached the territory of the Level 2 Flying Rats. Flying Demonic Beasts that didn’t fly very high. But they were extremely agile.
Selena didn’t hesitate. She lunged forward. Her claws tore through the air. Lightning crackled around her fists.
One Flying Rat exploded. Then another. Then another.
There was a good reason why tiger-type creatures were known as the kings of beasts. One by one, the Flying Rats exploded under Selena’s assault. Blood sprayed through the air like fireworks. Their bodies rained down around her.
Her fitted snow-white robe was splattered with blood. Her F cup tits heaved with exertion. The gold sash still emphasized her narrow waist. Her peach-shaped ass swayed with each movement. Her thick thighs propelled her through the swarm.
She was a killing machine. Beautiful and deadly.
Outside the dungeon, several teachers from No. 1 High School were chatting near the entrance.
"I wonder how many levels the students will gain this year."
"Heh, there are quite a few promising talents this year."
"For example, that one from Class 8—Evan Blackheart, an S-rank beast-soul master. He contracted an A-rank Nine-Tailed Fox. Her initial Spirit Power was as high as 7.8!"
"*Hiss.*" "That high."
"She’s definitely among the best of the A-ranks. One of the A-rank beast-girls in my class only had an initial Spirit Power of 6.1!"
"Plus with an S-rank beast-soul master supporting her, her leveling speed will probably be terrifying."
"Last year’s highest-ranking S-rank beast-soul master made it to about Level 6."
"So this year should be similar."
"If Evan can reach Level 6 too, he’ll probably take first place this year."
One teacher thought to himself: *Level 6 is the highest this year? That’s just at the level of an A-rank beast-girl. This year, I think Leon might just break the record.*
But considering Leon’s own low aptitude and the sensitivity surrounding his beast-girl, he kept his mouth shut.
After entering the dungeon, each person had a countdown timer. When time ran out, everyone would be teleported out. The time limit today was 3 hours. Alternatively, they could push all the way to the deepest part of the dungeon. Kill the final boss. The Green Demon Bear.
The Flying Rats were densely packed in the air. A massive shadow made up entirely of these creatures. The density of Demonic Beasts had increased. Strangely enough, Selena’s efficiency actually went up instead of down.
With every leaping strike, thunderous power accompanied her movements. The Flying Rats fell before her like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.
Her claws flashed. Lightning arced. Bodies fell.
One after another. After another.
Other students in the dungeon were having a very different experience. They were struggling desperately against the Flying Rats.
"These Flying Rats are way too dense. I think I need to go back to killing Magic Rabbits," a male student complained. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he ordered his beast-girl to retreat.
The Flying Rats were simply too numerous. Without the ability to one-shot them, it was easy to get overwhelmed by the beast tide. Many students had been too aggressive and couldn’t hold out. Ultimately choosing to exit the dungeon early.
But Leon and Selena seemed completely unaffected. They pushed deeper and deeper. The Flying Rats kept coming in greater numbers. Selena’s attacks only grew more ferocious.
She had become like an tireless killing machine. Pouncing on Flying Rat after Flying Rat. Her face was twisted with rage. Her Purple eyes burned with hatred.
*Why am I doing this?*
*Why am I fighting for him?*
*I hate him. I hate him so much.*
*But the contract... I have no choice.*
*If I fight, I get stronger. If I get stronger, maybe I can break free.*
*One day. One day I’ll escape.*
She roared in frustration. Another Flying Rat exploded. Blood splattered across her face. She didn’t even blink.
Suddenly, a brilliant light burst from Selena’s body. Her level had increased again. She had reached LV.3!
This upgrade caused her power to surge once more. Her attack power, defense, and speed all received massive enhancements. She felt stronger. Faster. Deadlier.
As they went deeper, the Flying Rats coming at them simultaneously grew more numerous as well. In an instant, they were facing an overwhelming swarm. A tidal wave of screeching, clawing creatures.
Faced with such a dense flood of monsters, Leon directly commanded Selena. "Dear Selena! Use your beast-soul skill! Tiger’s Thunderous Roar!"
Selena’s eyes widened. She knew what that skill could do. But she also knew it would drain her. She hesitated.
"Do it!" Leon’s voice was cold. Commanding.
She clenched her fists. Her body slightly arched. An invisible pressure radiated from her. The surrounding air grew heavy and still. The Flying Rats seemed to sense the danger. They screeched and tried to flee.
But it was too late.
*"ROOOOAR—!"*
