Alex silently walked inside the dungeon while looking carefully at his surroundings.
The inside of the dungeon was really just like a cave.
But unlike ordinary caves, the walls inside the dungeon emit a soft light which helps lighten up the surroundings.
This is very convenient because you don't need to bring a torch or other unnecessary tools to help lighten up the path.
Along the way, Alex did not see anyone.
The dungeon was very quiet to the point that it was eerie.
The path inside the dungeon is only a straight one leading into the deeper parts of the dungeon.
After walking for quite some time, Alex finally started hearing some voices.
To be specific, a weird laughter accompanied by a girl's scream.
"Shishishishishi~ Be a good girl and let me help you turn into my own kind."
"AHHHH!! Nooo, please, anyone, help!"
The scream was tragic as if that girl was being cut open alive!
When Alex heard those voices, his face changed.
"I have to hurry, it seems like the students are being tortured!"
Alex hastened his steps and headed deeper into the dungeon.
Not long after, Alex saw an opening leading to a room.
Inside, a monster whose body was cut in half in its waist was looking at a female student in the corner of the room.
The monster has wings similar to a bat on its back and is flying while its bottom half is on the side, standing in silence.
It was the source of the weird laughter that Alex heard a while ago.
"Shishishishi, stop running and come back here before I get angry." Said the monster at the girl in the corner.
The girl is shivering in fright while looking at the flying half of the monster that's staring at her.
"Huhuhu, please, don't kill me, I don't want to die, please."
She started begging for her life and seems to be going hysterical from fear.
Beside her, Alex also saw other students inside the room.
They are in a cage, covering their mouth to not make any noise while tears flow out of their eyes.
Alex counted and there were eleven students inside the cage.
Add those 2 guarding outside the cave and the girl being chased by the monster, that's 14.
A total of 23 students have gone missing and 14 of them are here.
As for the other nine… the floor is covered in red already with bits and pieces of meat.
It's up to one's imagination what happened to those nine.
Seeing all of this, Alex is stunned.
He got the urge to vomit on the spot but he forcibly resisted it.
With a pale face, Alex thought, 'I never thought that I would ever witness such a scene.'
Gathering himself, Alex tried to maintain his composure.
After he recovered, Alex adjusted his thoughts and focused his eyes on the flying upper half of the monster.
He used [Inspect] at that monster to view its details.
[Aswang Lv.22]
[Strength: 69] [Constitution: 58] [Agility: 65] [Intelligence: 50] [Darkness: 9]
…
Seeing the status of the aswang, Alex heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, its level is below 25."
Alex murmured.
While Alex was looking at the aswang, it didn't remain idle.
It seems to be having fun seeing the fearful female student on the ground breakdown.
With a hideous smile, it playfully said, "Hihihi, don't be like that, I will make sure to eat your flesh well, especially your organs!"
Hearing that, the girl seems to have fallen into despair.
Seeing this, Alex can't help but feel anger towards the aswang.
Making sure that there's no other enemies around, Alex canceled his stealth.
Then, without saying a word, he cast [Fireball] and threw it to the aswang.
The monster was surprised at Alex's sudden appearance and didn't get the chance to avoid the attack.
Boom!
-198!
The aswang let out a shrill cry after being hit by the fireball.
"AHHHH! Who are you?!"
"Why are you interfering with my fun?!"
[Hint: The enemy has been hit by [Fireball] and received the burn effect!]
-19.8!
-19.8!
-19.8!
…
Alex saw the damage that he dealt at the aswang and frowned.
"Tsk, my damage was too low."
Since [Fireball] has a cooldown, Alex can't use it for the time being.
So Alex casted another magic skill.
"[Wind Blade]!"
A 2 meter long blade made out of intense wind appeared in front of Alex.
With a wave of his hand, it flew towards the aswang in the air at a very fast speed!
Slash!
-274!
The aswang was hit on her chest, causing a huge slice to appear in that area.
At this time, the aswang seems to not feel any pain from the wound on her chest.
She looked at Alex with an ugly face and said, "I will make you pay for doing all this!"
Just as her words ended, she flapped her wings and rushed towards Alex at a fast speed.
Almost in an instant, she appeared right in front of Alex and attacked him with her claws.
Whoosh!
Alex hurriedly stepped back and avoided the attack.
The claws hit the air which made the aswang even more frustrated.
Taking advantage of that, Alex immediately closed in and punched her in the face.
Boom!
The aswang flew in the air and hit the wall.
Without wasting this chance, Alex followed the aswang and started beating her up while she's against the wall.
Because of Alex's superior strength, the aswang wasn't able to stop him or even counter-attack.
Alex didn't stop even when the aswang was already bleeding heavily.
At this time, Alex didn't think of stupid things like letting go of his enemy or having mercy.
For him, an enemy can only be dealt with with a heavy blow.
While beating the aswang, Alex said, "Aren't you arrogant? Then continue eating my punch!"
"Stupid b*tch, I thought you're gonna make me pay or something?"
Alex can't help doing this because of the anger he feels for the aswang.
The cruelty she showed to those students was something she should pay with her life!
Bang!
Finally, after almost about 5 minutes of him attacking nonstop, a kill notification appeared in Alex's eyes.
[You killed a level 22 Aswang, +22000 experience points.]
