"Wait! Wait!"
Lance punched the monster woman for the thousandth first time as she tried to talk. She died again.
The accountant appeared once more on top of Lance.
Every time he killed the mistress of beasts, he received a stack of 350 XP multiplied by two!
[You evolved a level! ]
[You have evolved to level fifty-nine! ]
[Strength: 53 → 112]
[Agility: 35 → 94]
[Luck: 25 → 84]
[Magic: 26 → 85]
[Vitality: 765 → 2655]
He took advantage of his free time every time he killed the monster woman to devour the corpses of each of the wolves he had killed. There were twelve hundred and fifty infernal wolves dead.
Fehrman was completely full after his two hundred and eightieth meal. His kaiju stomach was actually wider than before when he was human.
He belched.
[Strength: 112 → 392]
Lance watched the rest of the time for the woman's return.
[ Time for The Mistress of Beasts to return: 0 minutes and 3 seconds. ]
[ Time for The Mistress of Beasts to return: 0 minutes and 2 seconds. ]
[ Time for The Mistress of Beasts to return: 0 minutes and 1 seconds. ]
[ Time for The Mistress of Beasts to return: 0 minutes and 0 seconds. ]
[ The Mistress of Beasts is resurging! ]
[ She is stronger than before! Be careful, hunter! ]
Whenever the mistress of beasts died, she returned with stronger attributes.
Her body lit up like a sun, practically blinding Lance, who had to cover his eyes. She resurfaced sitting on her throne once more. Perfect, as if nothing had happened to her another thousand times in a row.
The lady's eyes met the yellow eyes of the kaiju. She felt fear for the first time in a long time.
Lance moved forward nimbly. She didn't try to counterattack like the other times, she was paralyzed. How much power!
"You said you wouldn't serve by my side, even if you died a thousand times. Look, I killed you a thousand and one times now! "
Red eyes with inverted cross-shaped pupils dilated as they watched the monster in front of her. Two meters of pure muscle and strength. She was always dying for just one punch from that person.
"Even if I agree to help you, even if you actually manage to do everything you say, why do you want to do all of that?"
"Is that all you want to ask?"
She nodded yes.
"Mankind turned its back on me. The Gods, the Ruler of Creatures and the Demon King turned their backs on me." He scratched his throat, protected by an incredibly thick carapace.
"You see, I was a hunter not too long ago. But he gave me a second chance. A chance to finally show each of them what despair looks like. He gave me this power."
The mistress of beasts rose from her throne, stopping in front of Lance. She ran her snow-colored hands over his shocked, armored abdomen, not because he was muscular or anything like that, but because she felt the power coursing through Fehrman's body.
"Who? Who besides them could give you such colossal power?!"
"The King of Kaiju." He said without holding back. It wasn't a secret to be kept, no matter who he told.
"There is no King of Kaiju."
"That's what I've been thinking all this time, just three systems, until he gave me the opportunity to be who I've always aspired to be with this fourth system."
She stopped for a moment, thoughtful. Was there really a King of Kaiju? How had she, the mistress of beasts, never heard of a fourth gift?
"I... I don't know if I should accept..."
Lance raised his right hand. The lady closed her eyes waiting for her next death. Instead, Lance made a motion to shake hands.
"How about we change this? How about we get revenge on those who did this to us? Don't you want to have a life again? "
She hesitated for a moment, but instinctively reached up, finding the kaiju's hand.
Lance grinned monstrously because of his sharp teeth.
"I am Lance. Lance Fehrman."
She still had a straight face, but stunned.
"Venya. Venya Fordragon. "
"So you have a name. This is new." Lance said as he walked down the stairs.
"Of course I have a name! Why wouldn't I have? "
Lance didn't respond. He walked to the two hallway doors, they were huge. He didn't pick up any treasures or artifacts, he wouldn't need that yet. Pulling with his thick hands, the doors opened, hitting the walls and breaking them.
Venya stopped in front of the exit.
"You do not come?"
She looked from side to side, as if something was watching her.
"I can't leave. He can feel me."
If Lance had eyebrows, he'd furrow them right there.
"Who? The ruler of creatures?"
"No. The worm. A giant worm that surrounds the entire dungeon preventing me from escaping here."
"You are immortal."
"Only here. This place has a powerful magic that keeps me from dying. The moment I leave this room, he will feel my magical power and come after me. He will definitely kill me, no turning back this time."
"You could have told me that from the start, you know."
"How did I not feel him?"
"He's just a giant earthworm with no powers or something."
"..."
Lance stopped for a moment, taking in the whole situation. He had a plan.
He grabbed Venya and carried her like a prince carrying his princess out. Lance set her down.
"Are you crazy?! He will kill me!"
"Want to relax? I have a plan."
An earthquake hit the top floor of the dungeon. Stones fell every moment from the rocky ceiling. Venya shivered and Lance remained standing without moving a muscle. The worm wasn't coming from the ground, it was coming from above!
A monstrous mouth appeared from the rocky ceiling, surrounded by different layers of teeth. He was falling towards Venya when Lance pushed her away. The mouth caught him and closed.
The mistress of beasts watched in shock as Lance Fehrman was eaten.
