"Hmm... additional kills... To put it simply, it means that some monsters were caught in explosions as well. Well, in the end, everything went as planned." Said Flux after descending to the ground.

But then, Flux heard a rustling noise dozens of meters away from him and directly shifted his attention to the monster approaching him at an abrupt speed.

Due to its top speed, it did not take long for him to arrive at the designated area.

Boom-

Trees flew away as he arrived.

After forcing all the way through here, his sights were welcomed by a 7-year-old kid blatantly standing and taking the spotlight amidst the corpses of his own kind laying on the ground.

His reckless entry is prompting that he had come here hoping for them to survive after seeing that large amount of mana scattering in the sky, but that became an illusion as he realized that not a single one of them had survived.

Instead, he was bewildered by the appearance of this kid.

it did not take long for him to understand the whole thing that happened here, and he was convinced that his underlings were killed and can no longer be saved anymore.

'Can't believe I'm going to fight the monster boss right here just after getting the system a few hours ago. In any case, this isn't an ordinary occurrence. But judging from how he sent those trees and trampled on them using pure strength alone and having the same characteristic as these boarwolfs, is enough to put him in the same category as a monster boss. Although some parts look different and in addition to its 5-meter tall and gigantic body, I'm certain he is the leader of these monsters here.' Thought Flux.

[Human, you're the one behind these killings, right?]

Having felt no reason to deny his accusation, Flux nodded as though nothing happened.

"Yes, I did..."

This short exchange already made him look menace in front of the boss monster.

[...You son of a bitch. In the end, all humans are the same. A defective creature created by the gods]

"Humans aren't the same, I can tell you that as a human living with the society."

[Stop the bullshit because I'm going to kill you right here and now]

Hearing him saying that, Flux made his stance ready before the fight. However, Flux returned his katana while things is just about to get serious and equipped a normal sword from his system inventory.

『Steel sword』

『Type: Common/tier 1/ grey background』

『Damage: 38』

『No perks』

'As far as I can tell, I really want to end this without wasting too much time. Nevertheless, looking at his hit points, a familiar feeling suddenly came in and is telling me to test my current capabilities and that It wouldn't end as long as I didn't fill that cup of anticipation.'

『Dire Boarwolf』

『Level: 20』

『Hp: 6112』

『Type: Boss monster』

『Skill:Dark energy and piercing charge』

The appearance of this monster is quite similar to a normal boarwolf but a little different because of its size. It also had two golden horns between its head. On top of this, having the ability to talk as a monster is certainly a pure indication that this is a boss monster.

Under this changeless circumstance, Flux prepared his stance by placing his sword on his right side at head level.

Without a doubt, in this new world, a fight that had never happened in history is about to occur right here and now.

Seeing his opponent ready to fight him, his anger burst out even more as he felt being underestimated. [You damn humans, I show you what I'm capable of]

His horns suddenly emit lights, revealing what he's about to do.

In the next second, the dire boarwolf rushed at breathe neck speed with his horns pointed at Flux.

[Now die]

Right after saying this, their distance between each other has greatly shortened. Only a few inches before the horns touched Flux's skin.

But, Flux's figure disappeared right before him. As a result, he ends up hitting the tree behind Flux.

Bang-...

The sound of a bang echoing through the forest was enough to tell the destruction of the tree being strewn in the air.

Slash-

Drip drip drip...

Without noticing anything in the slightest, a deep cut with blood running through his body unexpectedly appeared on his right side near the abdomen.

The dire boarwolf couldn't exactly tell what happened during the exchange but the way he injured him on that certain spot indicates that Flux had slid in on the ground before the horns could pierce through his body which resulted in creating an opening for Flux to damage him. This explains why his figure instantly disappeared right at the moment he was about to hit him with his piercing horns.

The dire boarwolf turned his head around only to see an afterimage of Flux scattered all over the place.

'Is he trying to attack me off guard?' Thought the dire boarwolf while thinking of some counter-attack.

But Flux did not let it happen. Before he could even think of a way to obstruct, His body started moving constantly at top speed where his enemy couldn't conceivably see him and began attacking him from all directions.

Slash- slash- slash-

The barrage of slashes continued. the boss monster was helpless against this and was unable to fight back.

By now, several cuts all over his body inflicted by Flux were visible to anyone.

The difference in level is huge but this was unexpected and unsurprisingly at the same time. With his gigantic body, it was easier for anyone to damage him, especially against people who can exert this exact amount of speed.

But what's more surprising is for Flux to be able to move so fast for a longer duration despite his level.

Unable to let the situation extend and let a kid injure him further, the dire boarwolf while enduring the barrage of slashes opened its mouth, and a purple energy ball has begun to condense.

After condensing the energy ball at its peak, the dire boarwolf fired the condensed dark energy ball underneath his feet.

Having noticed the change, Flux promptly backs away from the dire boarwolf. However, his distance wasn't far enough and he speculated that the range of the explosion would affect him in some way. But what to do? He was already way too late to escape. Hence, Under this circumstance, all he could do is to embrace himself for what was about to come.

Booooommmm!!!-

The impact of the explosion caused a powerful shockwave effect that resulted in propelling some trees down to the ground including Flux who crashed on some trees.

The smoke gradually fades away and a large monster can be seen radiating a dark aura.

On the other hand, Flux slowly gets up. He'd somehow managed to avoid some trees and lessen the damage during the collision. While that was true, the damage caused by the shockwave was enough to immobilize him slightly, but that wasn't enough to put an expression to the emotionless Flux.

However, he was greeted by a large monster about the same size as a tree with a dark aura covering the entirety of his body. "You emotionless brat..."

'Does hitting himself by his own power make him more powerful?' Thought Flux without listening to his words.

Without a second thought, the boss monster opened its mouth again, and the same energy began to condense.

Shoot-

Flux felt intimidated but nonetheless, he tried to avoid it by jumping up on top of the tree.

Boom...!

Seeing how his previous spot was destroyed in a blink of an eye, Flux let out a breath in relief. "That was close..."

It's highly likely that one of that energy balls could kill him in one shoot.

Regardless, Flux as an undefeated player in his previous life didn't feel threatened or anything particular about this. Perhaps, maybe because he thought the game he had played in the past was a battle between life and death.

But this isn't the time to be relax yet, the boss monster began to bombard him by firing dark energy balls incessantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Whenever Flux goes to avoid his attacks, these green leaves were turned into ashes.

To stop it from demolishing the area, Flux had to attack him first at close range, that way, he might be able to stop him from using his dark energy ball.

『Technique Deployment, Flash step』

By gathering forces on his legs, he abruptly dashed forward and appeared instantly in front of the boss monster.

His face was filled with terror, perhaps because of knowing that he couldn't do anything to block this attack or because he was unable to react to his speed or either of these two options could possibly be the reason.

『Technique Deployment, Dark Crescent Moon』

His sword coated with black aura was swung and the same slash which killed 15 of his own kind instantly earlier was formulated and truncated the dire boarwolf's two front legs.

『Critical hit. Damage: 500』

With his two legs disjointed, the dire boarwolf loses his balance but the attacks did not stop there.

『Technique Deployment, Dazzling Moonlight Scenery Dance』

Flux forthwith danced while slashing his enemy's body as hard as he can. His speed was so fast that several after images were left behind.

Unlike before without mana embedded in it, the technique upgrades as it leaves traces of black mana wrapped in crescent slashes. Just like in a fantasy, the appearance of this technique was so beautiful, it look like a flowing zigzagging river at the night with several crescent moons.

And of course, the technique itself became deadlier.

Slash slash slash slash... Cut cut cut cut...

Numerous parts of his body were flowing with blood because of the wounds inflicted on him.

And just as he thought the attack ended there, Flux who was behind him used his technique flash step to do consecutive attacks on his whole body.

Dashed-...

Slash slash slash slash-...

His legs, arms, organs, and other body parts were instantly trimmed using a steel sword coated with aura. Hundreds of wounds are evident. If someone were to see this, he would most likely think this is a dream. Inflicting hundreds of wounds against boss monster in just a few seconds is not every day you can see. And what's more shocking is despite having not even reached half of his opponent's level, Flux made the impossible possible.

At that time, Flux appeared on the other side as though he had finished torturing him.

It was only then that the boss monster realized how his life is about to end.

This wasn't a mere coincidence, he definitely realized why he was put in this state for just a few minutes by a kid who had just received his system.

A 'genius'. This is highly likely the only answer to why he was defeated.

He had lived in this world for millennia and seen so many strange things happening in this world including those humans who were born genius. However, during those times had he not met any single person comparable to him. The power to destroy anyone, a power that can destroy power levels, this is not something anyone could attain in just a few years even with tremendous training. So what's really behind this kid's power? This answer lies within Flux. He is the only one who can answer this.

And lastly, he also realized that in just a few years, he would no longer be the same person he was supposed to be.

『Dire Boarwolf』

『Level: 20』

『Hp: 112』

『Type: Boss monster』

『Skill:Dark energy and piercing charge』

He lost more than 96 percent of his life after getting sliced by a steel sword a hundred times.

Knowing that he could never defeat against such overwhelming talent, The dire boarwolf swore to himself to kill the kid right now before he became that person.

[You monster! I'm going to at least send you to hell with me] cursed the dire boarwolf while condensing a tremendous amount of energy in his mouth.

He plans to kill him in a single attack which is why he had all reasons to put everything he had into this attack.

a few seconds later, a gigantic dark energy ball was formed.

[Die!!!] He shouted before firing the gigantic dark energy at Flux as his last resort to defeat him.

Flux began to speak while seeing the incoming dark energy ball. "... Earlier you said I'm just a brat, now you're calling me a monster? Well, not like these kinds of words aren't unfamiliar to me anyway. It's just that... It has been a while since I heard someone calling me a monster."

『Technique Deployment, Crescent night Fireflies 』

Flux swung his sword once and thousands of small crescent slashes lighted up the whole forest just like the fireflies in the middle of the night.

At the same time, the dire boarwolf couldn't believe what he was seeing. 'What is this technique. So beautiful. I had never seen something wonderful as this in my entire life.'

In the next moment, his entire body was cut into pieces including the dark energy ball which had begun dispersing.
