Chereads / Being a Cat in a Dungeon, It's not easy / Chapter 20 - Melancholic Day

Chapter 20 - Melancholic Day

"Nyahaha!!" Alex shouted with all his strength for the satisfaction and joy of tasting the meat in his mouth, a small tear of happiness formed in one of Alex's eyes as he just chews his food with much happiness.

"Rrrrr~" Alex began purring with joy.

After several minutes in which Alex experienced great happiness for eating meat for the first time.

Although Alex has just experienced something that made him happy, he reflexively looked for his necklace as he remembered the feeling of happiness his mother gave him for a moment.

Alex held the area where his collar would be while his body trembles, the minutes passed while Alex stood in his place while he suffered a crisis when he doesn't find his collar, but shortly after Alex recovered and continued with his routine, but the glow of life and joy in Alex's eyes was nowhere to be found while he was doing his things.

Alex's eyes reflected an anger that is only accumulating over the days, he moved like a robot while preparing pieces of wood to continue his practice tomorrow.

*Crack!* The pieces of wood that Alex was handling ended up being shattered in an instant when Alex got lost in his thoughts.

Alex withdrew from the place and decided to walk to clear his mind, something he has done several times during these four days.

Alex walked through his territory where he was not interrupted by any other living being, at one point a group of striped cats tried to enter his territory, but they soon moved away with their tails between their legs by feel Alex's humor to through the Aura that he has been expiring since he lost control over his aura.

Unintentionally, Alex arrived at the place where he was defeated by the tiger and where he last saw his only friend, Alex's temper made him think that it is the tiger's fault because he has not seen his only friend in these four days.

"Just wait..." The temperature around Alex rose like his anger, but Alex manages to suppress his impulse to run off to face the tiger.

Alex returned to the stretch of meadow where he once began to destroy everything with his claws to release his contained anger that was only making him unstable.

With a single blow enough to split a tree in two, Alex's blow is so powerful that he doesn't need to bury his claws to destroy the tree and he proved it by knocking down a tree just by hitting it with his tail, these trees are robust by nature, but Alex's strength is not weak since he is only a few dozen steps to enter the range [A].

Alex destroyed all the trees that entered his gaze, he destroyed them until they were no more than splinters, once he destroyed several trees and they weren't a challenge, Alex continued with the large rocks that were in place, they put much greater resistance to Alex's blows, but he still managed to split them in two with his powerful claws.

While Alex let out his destructive desire and his contained anger, at a great distance, several beasts turned towards Alex's direction upon feeling the pressure he began to emanate, it was not aura since it does not go so far, it was only pure pressure emitted through the essence of oneself and as animals that they are, they could feel it and felt threatened by the invisible pressure, among all those powerful beasts, one of them felt very angry and surprised, since it experienced a similar feeling not a long time ago from someone inferior to it.

All the beasts had the feeling that, for this new opponent, there will finally be the fight where the true king will finally be decided, all the beasts began to make noises in response to the pressure Alex released, many beasts were moved while others only saw it as annoying, but they all began to release their thirst for blood in their territories.

Many times the wild ecosystems are balanced by territories of different beasts, but sometimes external beasts arrive at the place that cause this balance to be broken and a frenzy of fighting begins for territories already taken, some cases only die a few beasts until the beasts are balanced forces again, but in other cases the beasts that had been accumulating strength, take advantage of the chaos to steal territories which leads to much more extensive fighting and normally this leads to the birth of Elite Beasts or Kings, they are usually beasts that get a change of class through having extensive territory by eliminating their opponents through hard and deadly battles.

Apparently, that will happen in room 1 on the second floor where several beasts have accumulated strength and are now ready to eliminate their opponents in search of power.

The next day a large part of the forest was destroyed or burned by a single individual who did not rest all night.

Alex looked a little surprised the result of freeing his anger, the ecosystem underwent a tremendous change, where there were trees full of life now there is a single field full of burned logs and small areas with lava.

In the middle of the whole new ecosystem Alex is lying on a melted rock, the abysmal heat doesn't affect Alex at all since he can generate a greater amount of heat than the one around him, last night Alex managed to bring his flames to the light-Yellow color, of course without using the mana to change color, that means that his flames reach a temperature of 4 thousand degrees Celsius, four times the temperature of the volcanic lava.

Alex's new flames can be seen when he breathes since his mana had a small increase with the change which caused Alex to be expelling some mana through his breathing.

It was Alex's thoughts as he appreciates his surroundings where he can now only see fire mana spirits hanging around the place and how some plants began to grow among the ashes, most of them with a reddish touch.

Alex looked at his paw with a little surprised to think about how this soft thing can be so deadly if he proposes it.

Alex turned instantly towards a direction where he detected with his Aura, the presence of two living beings, possibly Kobolds as it is the direction where they always try to enter to his territory, for some reason they challenge him very often, but they are too weak that for Alex they are only a nuisance.

[Outside the Dungeon with the Magicians]

"This is a great find for magic!!!" One of the magicians shouted from his camp shortly after writing a thesis on the magic cores of Ramtai Slimes [Resistance Adaptable to Magic That Is Used Against It].

"With the discovery of this new magic core, it will be easier to find a customizable magic core for its user, the Ramtai nuclei have the property of copying the properties of the mana with which they are attacked so shortly after they become immune to that mana, which means that if a magician pushes his neutral mana into one of these magical core, he or she will obtain a magical core with 100% compatibility with him or her and will not have to spend his resources searching for the indicated core.

The only drawback is the quality of the core... but this can be fixed if a professional tamer is dedicated to raising these slimes up to the elite level or even a soldier level. I would be more than happy to buy one for any cost with such of having a core with 100% compatibility with me... I need to tame one for my own consumption before they are controlled by royalty or large families" The young wizard continued to talk to himself about his discovery of emotion, while he was doing that, a similar situation happens with the other magicians who are preparing their thesis to send them to the Elite School [Grakedaz] where they can receive a great reward for their discovery.

Many of these are just theories about what use they could give Slime Ramtai, some devised ideas to use their liquid for the creation of defensive teams, other magicians are devising with the creation of better golems or magic tools.

While in a small place they celebrate to find a precious magical mineral and the discovery of a new magical species, in different capitals, five young people received the title of Hero, in the class selection ceremony.

The ceremony is always held every year in the capitals with the help of several priests with whom they facilitate the selection of classes.

The title of the Hero makes presence when creating a halo of light on its carrier at the time of receiving it.

There are three types of heroes, those born to be, those who become one and those who are created or invoked, and this day 5 heroes were born to be a Hero in different kingdoms.
