Chapter 101: A Hero?
’Desolate Moon Sword Art.’
The phantom shadow of the moon was briefly displayed.
The next instant, a fountain of blood erupted from the heads of the wolves.
A few trickles of blood painted Rosa’s face, dying it red and coating her in its warmth.
"The... butcher!" a loud voice erupted from the trees.
Amon briefly cast his gaze on them and no longer paid them any attention.
His goal was to clear the dungeon and he wanted to be swift about it since he still had 19 more left to clear before dinner tonight.
Holding the winter froze blade in his hand he walked deeper into the clearing.
His A-rank danger sense had already triggered, showcasing the vague location of all the beasts who harbored killing intent towards him.
They couldnt hide from him anymore.
And so... amon began a massacre!
’Eclipse Funeral Sword Art!’
This was the second form of the Elegant Netherblade Sword Technique!
Upon arriving at a group of wolves still feeding on the corpses of the students who had died, Amon didnt hesitate to execute the move.
His mana drained rapidly, reducing by more than ten percent as a sword light bloomed briefly in everyone’s eyes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A slight shiver passed through the air wherever the blade swept and more than ten wolves were instantly killed.
Awooooo!
A sharp howl tore through the air as the wolves scrambled in panic, scared by the brutal massacre.
Since it was an E-rank dungeon, all the beasts present were E-rank, with the presence of a low grade D-rank boss monster.
All these weren’t threats to Amon in the slightest.
Amon rushed towards another group of wolves that were trying to flee deeper into the forest looking terrain.
Normally, dungeons had different forms, but in the end, they had limited spaces, akin to small pocket dimensions housing creatures which Hunters could slay.
Amon smashed the winter frost blade into one of the wolves.
Before it could react, it was blasted into bits just from the sheer strength of the sword alone.
Just then a wolf’s howl pierced through the air.
Awooooo!
It sounded deafening, far chilling than the rest.
Without hesitation, Amon turned around in the direction of the sound.
The boss monster had finally arrived.
The pressure and bloodlust it exuded made the students’ faces go pale instantly.
They stared in shock and wariness as the wolves surrounded amon.
Under the command of the boss monster, the wolves quickly encirled Amon.
Knowing that the dungeon was akin to a cage, trapping them and that they had no where to run, the monsters gave up running under the lead of their leader.
Awoooo!
The wolf leader gave an order and all the wolves lunged at Amon simulteanously.
’Unholy Death Sword Art.’
Amon muttered in his heart.
Instantly, his blade moved at lightning speed in a sweeping arc, slicking through the wolves like paper.
As a divine ranked, the winter frost sword could cut through anything below its rank as such the wolves didn’t stand a chance.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A pale black light flashed and all ten wolves’ head were cut cleanly from their bodies.
Blood sprayed into the air instantly like a fountain, drying the scenery red.
The boss monster showed a look of horror in its eyes but it was already too late.
Amon closed the distance and his sword moved at lightning speed, piercing into the wolf’s head.
[Congratulations! You have levelled up!]
[Level 16: 120/16000]
A notification appeared infront of amon’s eyes briefly informing of his level up.
Amon quickly dispersed the panel and began walking towards the center of the dungeon.
He knew that in dungeons, they were dungeon cores present which could aid in forging high rank weapons with special traits.
Although he didn’t need the dungeon cores or the weapon, he could sell it for a few thousand dollars. It was quite a profitable business.
The students watched amon walk deeper into the woods.
They began coming down from the trees one after the other, knowing that teh danger had subsided.
Rosa’s face was still pale.
Trembling on the ground she continued gazing at the back of the man who had saved her.
She’d have lost her life just now if it wasnt for the butcher...
Rosa’s eyes flashed with regret at the thought.
Her friends and even the guy she previously loved had all abandoned her at the her lowest.
"Hey... Rosa... about what happened, I’m sure you can under—"
"It’s over between us. Dont bother contacting me anymore." Before Daniel could finish Speaking, Rosa cut him off with a sharp glare.
"Rosa..." daniel called out, "you don’t have to be like this, its just some—"
"I don’t want to hear anything more." Rosa was already seething in rage as she glared at him angrily.
Daniel hesitated on slightly, wanting to say something more but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Rosa sneered and struggled to stand up. She staggered and almost fell but daniel quickly caught her.
"I don’t need your help!" Rosa said sternly, distancing herself from him and finding her footing, limping slightly she held onto a tree for balance.
Amon went deeper into the dungeon, and finally found teh dungeon core.
It was a shimmering blue, crystal that shimmered like liquid.
Storing it into his system space, he walked walked away.
As he left the forest, he was met with the gazes of the surrounding students who were staring at him with glowing eyes.
Amon ignored them all.
He wasn’t a hero. All he did was to protect his family.
He would have become a villain if it was for the sake of them.
"Si—sir..." Rosa called out, biting her rosy lips slightly.
Amon didnt pause as his calm footsteps continued echoing.
Rosa glanced at amon and her lips parted to call him once more but she ultimately shut her mout
However, internally... Amon had taken a special place in her heart.
She wanted to be just like that, having enough strength to do whatever she wanted!
Biting her lips once more she pouted, as she staggered out of the dungeon portal that had appeared as soon as the dungoen was cleared.
