"Huh? I got 15 Stat points from just one level up?" 

Razael rechecked his status in astonishment.

'If I remember correctly, F-tier class only gives 3 stat points per level up.'

Razael also learned [Greater Stealth], probably due to sneaking in here.

He couldn't think of a reason for having 15 stat points, so he dismissed the thought at the moment. After all, he was still within the dungeon that was crawling with monsters. He can think later in his room.

"[Perfected Battle AI]"

"[Almighty Sage|| Flame Fist]"

"[Almight Sage|| Wind fortress]"

Razael rushed through the sixth floor of the royal dungeon, killing kobolds swiftly and instantly.

To clear the floor and proceed to the next one, Razael had to kill the Boss of this floor.

The closer one got to the Boss Room, the more powerful the monsters that one would encounter tended to be.

It was pretty much the law of the Dungeon.

"Let's keep advancing..."

After a while, Razael noticed the abundance of magic crystals around him. Although they were transparent, the lowest quality of magic crystals, their large amount was still worth a fortune.

"KUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..."

Razael heard a grumble.

Without much thought, He quickly stuffed all the crystals into his [Alternate Dimension].

Bosses usually had special space dedicated to them—Boss Rooms, as one would call it.

However, not all of them operated like this.

Some liked to stay in the open with the rest of the mobs.

... That was the case with this one.

Razael's lips curled into a smirk as he noticed the ginormous figure in front of him.

The Kobold Boss was much larger than the other small fries that Razael had encountered. It was at least twice as tall as Razael, with fur so black that it seemed like he was coated in the night.

His bloodshot eyes were focused on Razael, and they gleamed with primal purpose.

"Haah! Come at me you fat bitch!"

Razael created a gauntlet with long claws made of flame for both his hands as he mocked the kobold boss.

If he really decided to go all out, Razael could probably crush the Kobold boss with ease, but instead, he decided to use this opportunity to actually learn to fight. He even turned off the [Battle AI] and [Grand combat application].

Kobold boss, seated on his seat, slowly stood up at Razael's words.

"Let's see how strong you are, bit-" 

~WHHOOOOSSSHH!!~

Before Razael could finish his words, the boss disappeared from his vision. Next thing, Razael felt a strong pain on his sides as he flew and smashed straight into the wall.

"W-Woah... That hur-"

Razael, still physically fine, tried to stand back up, but Kobold boss closed the distance and smacked him away again right before he could finish his words.

"Stop for a second, you BIT-"

...and again. Razael smashed into the wall behind him and fell back to the ground motionless.

"..." Kobold boss, standing afront Razael's motionless body, poked him with the club with a disappointed face.

"G-Got it, no talking between fight, rig-" 

Razael tried standing back up, but Kobold Boss smashed him back to the ground with the club.

"..." 

Of course, talking in between fights won't help Razael at all. He realised this a bit too late. The only reason he was still alive was because of his superior stats (Which he copied from Adonis), and the immense increase in level from massacring kobolds on this floor.

If it were a normal person, they would've been turned into a puddle of blood by now.

"{First imagination: Life Vision}" 

The most basic of Razael's abilities. All it does is let him see the life in his opponent. 

It also helps him see the opponent's future and past movements, or as Razael likes to call them—Traces of life. 

This ability also shows him the exact point he needs to attack in order to destroy the 'life' of his opponent.

"Let's get serious the- Whoops!"

Again, as soon as Razael started to mutter something, the kobold boss attacked. Although this time, Razael saw his movements and barely dodged it.

Then, without any more words, Razael rushed to the kobold boss. His flame claws reached the boss for the first time.

Kobold boss wasn't an overwhelming foe, but it wasn't just some easy pushover either, especially for the current Razael without any true combat experience.

Flame claws were capable of doing significant fatal damage to the kobold boss, but in the inexperienced hands of were only able to pierce the body of the boss and slightly harm his organs.

This, although, was a fatal attack for a human, but for someone like the Kobold Boss, whose existence was just to fight and win, it was still quite a bearable injury.

But these were still Flame claws, not metal claws. 

When Razael finally succeeded in penetrating the thick skin of the Kobold boss, his flame claws exploded in a torrent of enormous flame pillars, burning the Kobold boss internally.

Although the boss still resisted, his time was limited. The intense burns of fire all over, and even inside, its body eventually brought it to its knees. 

The ginormous body couldn't support itself any longer and fell to the floor, but before it could reach the ground, the body engulfed in flames disappeared into ashes and smoke.

"..That was terrifying." 

It was.

"...and scary."

It surely was.

Razael's first combat experience was much more 'Real' than he would've expected. All the pain, the quick judgment, and the mercilessness he had to show were beyond what he could currently manifest. 

"I need to go all out every time. I can't risk death." 

He resolved.

"I need to destroy them all. I can't make a mistake like this again."

Razael knew his mistake, and he made a vow to himself.

He will definitely destroy all his enemies, perfectly and completely.
