Time began to pass while Alex and the tiger look at each other, the tiger looks curiously at Alex for the changes he is undergoing, while Alex is having a mental battle not to become rampant with his contained anger.
Both began to prepare for combat, the tiger began to strengthen his entire body to go to the maximum from the beginning, while Alex was still in his own world, his body reacted releasing a large amount of heat which burned everything around him in Orange flames.
The tiger began to reinforce his legs and claws as he approached the distracted Alex, but when he entered the range of 2 meters, an unbearable heat hit the face and his sensitive nose, instinctively he backed away while his fur rose before the sense of danger he felt from his previous action.
Orange flames began to appear from the grass that dried up and is now burning just like all of Alex's surroundings.
Alex's eyes only look at the Tiger but at the same time they don't, but at all times they are full of anger.
Staying paralyzed lost in his thoughts was the worst action Alex can do, the Tiger with years of experience fighting against kobolds who normally have fire magic, made him learn to fight red fire.
A thick white aura began to surround the body of the Tiger, this aura began to expire great pressure on the environment of the tiger, with its defense ready, the tiger launched at an amazing speed and managed to reach Alex's side and perform a cut, but when he was about to hit, something black came out of the ground and blocked the attack by absorbing it, the tiger walked away as fast as he could from Alex while looking at him already surprised without previous contempt.
The tiger thought that his fire would be the same as that of the Kobolds, but when he approached Alex, his shield began to be consumed as water in a desert, just for lasting more than a second near him.
Alex created a shield of darkness with which he absorbed the impact, although he could not follow the speed of the tiger with his body, his magic can and with that he managed to defend himself by pure reflection.
The tiger did not give up and decided to exploit his best appearance, his speed, using his mana to improve his agility that was already rank [A] and when he uses his element he reaches the range [E - ā ].
The tiger disappeared from his place for the sight of Alex, he could only see the earth rise from the ground where the Tiger changed rhythm or direction, at one point his instinct shouted danger from the side, he created a shield of darkness again , hoping to absorb the attack again.
*Knock!*
Claws of white aura tore Alex's shield as if it were paper and the tiger managed to bury his claws in Alex's body for a small moment before he pulled away because his shield was much weaker.
The tiger was redirecting more manas to his claws and legs, which made him have a much weaker defense, but that allowed him to easily break Alex's shield, but he can't complete his attack either.
The impact of the attack caused Alex's mana to get out of control, the heat he was expiring began to soften, as Alex's subconscious began to direct his mana to heal himself.
The tiger could feel the change in the consumption of his shield, he would not let an opportunity go like this, in an instant he was on the side and attacked Alex with his claws again, without time to react for the pain, Alex received the attack.
The tiger began to attack Alex very often so as not to give him time to heal, but amazingly all Alex's wounds disappeared almost instantly by Alex's abysmal mana that was spent to heal and extra help.
Alex began to fall into a pit of pain because of the tiger who had become angry at not seeing Alex die, full of despair and pain, Alex tried to gather mana, but the pain prevented him from concentrating.
The tiger fails to eliminate Alex because of the high temperatures that surround him, little of the tiger's fur has burned for be near than a second of Alex.
At one point Alex had the opportunity to concentrate his mana on a single idea, Explosion, he gathered his mana that was trying to cure him, with his mana together Alex drove him into his surroundings, a thunderous sound was the last thing Alex heard before faint from the pain of the wounds, which were barely healed with the little bit of Alex's remaining mana.

The next day Alex woke up in a hole in the ground with him in the center of the black hole, several trees were uprooted with their roots and the farthest ones only lost their leafs that were only burned.
While Alex is reviewing the idiocy he did and tries to understand how he is still alive, a red mark in the form of an inverted flame appeared in his left eye, but it doesn't have the bright red color it had when it first appeared, but it is now a more opaque color, as if it was in rest.
Alex doesn't notice this change because he can't see his face, he can only hit the ground with his tail, with the frustration he feels when he is treated as someone weak when he believed he was already powerful, and now here he is looking like by "luck" he survived a "powerful" beast, but now he understands that those are the standards he can set since this is his whole world, a dungeon that tries to kill him by sending his pets and that the Master D. is super-mega-ultra strong compared to him.
Alex soon found out that he failed to kill the Tiger since his experience had not increased since yesterday, but he found a surprise while exploring his condition.

Alex patted the ground while showing his anger, that action was only an instinct rooted in him to show his anger, something that developed within the dungeon.
Shortly after that, Alex didn't keep moving forward but backed away, this time he did feel the pressure of the tiger that emanates through his Aura that is only in his territory, since he was not distracted and knows that he has the ability to to do that.
Alex didn't decide to surround the territory of the tiger to move forward, no, he decided to return to defeat the tiger later, one of his goals to be stronger, he needs small goals to achieve his revenge against the bastard monster.

While Alex ran into a wall, the same thing happens outside the dungeon, the group of goleml-specialist wizards were assaulted with hordes of monsters recently and caused the road clearance to be reduced by 90%, the stairs turned out to lead at a great depth and began to see an overload of monsters in the dungeon because they began to appear on the surface.
At the beginning the amount was insignificant that they came to think that it was area monsters, but the amount of monsters only began to increase, the exploration and excavation camp were not prepared for this.
The Scholarly Wizards who are, began to make theories to explain what happened since they had to explain why? of his delay in cleaning the stairs.
The most accepted explanations were:
That the dungeon is raising its guardian beast since childhood, something very common among the dungeons and decided to leave it on the first floor, over time the beast managed to eliminate the monsters from the floor very easily and the dungeon decided to compensate that with amount, so the monsters increased and overloaded the floor, but since the beast was on that floor, the problem was never seen and when the beast moved to the next floor, the dungeon only concentrated on its beast and ignored that there is now a saturation of monsters on the previous floor.
Now that floor was filled to the maximum with monsters that caused an overflow of monsters that began to appear on the surface.
The second theory is that since there are no adventurers who eliminate the monsters, the accumulated mana of the dungeon that draws from the mana veins, over the capacity of the dungeon and this began to invoke monsters in an effort not to die of overload of mana.
After some debates between some magicians and the person in charge of the mission, they decided to go for the second theory that is greater supported by all since it is more logical, since when a newborn dungeon will be raising its guardian beast when it is just born.
Shortly after that, the magicians stopped cleaning the stairs because it was impossible since the monsters appeared in them at random, apart from the slimes that appeared attracted their attention completely, they know the slimes resistant to the elements but not to one who adapts, this aroused his curiosity and as truth seekers, they could not resist knowing the secrets of this new species, apart from the fact that they want the merits for the discovery of this new race.
