As the night went on, Mitsuya continued his exploration of the cave, fueled by the excitement of his recent victories. The deeper he went, the more challenging the monsters became, but Mitsuya's newfound skills and powerful sword, Ten-Tails Claws, allowed him to handle them with relative ease.
He discovered hidden passageways and secret chambers within the cave, each holding its own set of dangers and treasures. Mitsuya faced off against formidable foes, showcasing the abilities of his Soulbound Blade and the devastating Soul Devourer attack. With each battle, Mitsuya grew stronger, gaining experience and leveling up.
Mitsuya ventured further into the middle of the forest, where he stumbled upon a giant hole. A board near the hole read, "Way to The Dungeon Floor-1." Ignoring the sign, he cautiously activated his Seraphic Glide Cloak and glided to the bottom of the hole. There, he encountered another hole and a vast area. A board near the hole stated, "Way to The Abyss Floor-2." Mitsuya had unwittingly fallen into a dungeon.
He began to explore the nearby area, and as he delved deeper into the dungeon, the air grew heavy. Suddenly, a creature with a white-colored, human-like body, tiger-like hands, and a snake-like tongue appeared before Mitsuya. In a split second, the creature lunged at Mitsuya's neck, but he managed to dodge the attack. Despite evading the strike, Mitsuya felt a deep sense of fear due to the monster's astonishing speed. The creature taunted him, saying, "You were just lucky to dodge my attack. The next one won't miss."
Mitsuya's heart raced as he faced off against the enigmatic creature in the dungeon's depths. The intensity of the encounter was unlike anything he had experienced before. Though fear coursed through his veins, he refused to yield to it, his determination unwavering.
Gripping his Ten-Tails Claws tightly, Mitsuya prepared for the next assault, his senses heightened. He knew that facing this powerful adversary would test his limits, but he also recognized the opportunity for growth and the chance to prove himself.
Mitsuya launched a fierce attack against the monster, channeling all his strength. However, with a single swipe of its nail, the creature sent the Ten-Tails Claws flying through the air. Mitsuya's hope waned as the monster's simple strike disarmed him.
Suddenly, Mitsuya found himself in a different world, facing a girl who stood before him. Mitsuya asked the girl, "Did I die again?" The girl, with ethereal features and a serene smile, gently shook her head. "No, Mitsuya, you have not died. You have been transported to my realm." Mitsuya questioned, "Your realm? What do you mean?" The mysterious girl responded, "I am the embodiment of the Ten-Tails Claws. This realm belongs to me. You are here because you have yet to unlock my full potential. If you wish to survive and confront that monster again, you must learn how to do so."
Mitsuya's eyes widened in astonishment as he listened to the girl's words. The realization slowly dawned on him that the very essence of his sword, the Ten-Tails Claws, was personified before him. He had been transported to the realm of his weapon, a realm that held the key to unlocking his full potential.
Curious, Mitsuya asked, "How can I learn to reach my full potential, Ten-Tails Claws? I am willing to do whatever it takes to grow stronger and face that monster once more."
The Ten-Tails Claws smiled warmly, a glimmer of pride in her eyes. "To unlock your true power, Mitsuya, you must undergo a series of trials within this realm. These trials will test your resolve, push your limits, and help you master the true potential of the Ten-Tails Claws."
Mitsuya nodded, ready to embark on this new journey of self-discovery. "I am ready to face the trials, Ten-Tails Claws. Show me the way."
The realm transformed around Mitsuya, shifting into a vast landscape filled with ethereal landscapes and mysterious challenges. The Ten-Tails Claws guided him through each trial, teaching him new techniques and refining his combat skills. Together, they delved deep into the essence of the Ten-Tails Claws, unlocking its hidden powers and tapping into Mitsuya's latent potential.
As the trials progressed, Mitsuya's understanding of his abilities grew, and his bond with the Ten-Tails Claws deepened. He learned to channel the immense power of the sword, unleashing devastating attacks and harnessing the energy within him.
Finally, Mitsuya reached the final step. The girl said, "To fully unlock the extent of the sword's power, you must also give a name to the inner self of the sword." Standing at the final step, Mitsuya contemplated a name that resonated with the darkness within the inner self of the Ten-Tails Claws. A sense of solemnity enveloped him as he knew that the name he chose would embody the mysterious and potent darkness that lay dormant within the sword.
After thoughtful consideration, Mitsuya declared, "I will name you 'Lilith'." The girl calmly smiled, and the world began to shatter. Suddenly, Mitsuya found himself back in front of the monster, but this time, he did not fear it. With Lilith by his side, Mitsuya unleashed a flurry of calculated strikes, his movements guided by the dark power coursing through him. The monster, taken aback by Mitsuya's transformation, struggled to match his speed and precision.
Each clash of blades resonated with the echoes of Mitsuya's trials as he seamlessly incorporated the techniques he had learned in Lilith's realm.
As the battle intensified, Mitsuya's confidence grew. He could feel himself pushing past his previous boundaries, tapping into the full potential of the Ten-Tails Claws and his own abilities. With every strike, he channeled the darkness within, unleashing devastating attacks that left the monster reeling.
The enigmatic creature, once so imposing, now found itself on the defensive, struggling to counter Mitsuya's relentless assault. Mitsuya's newfound power and connection with Lilith proved to be an unstoppable force as he pressed forward, determined to claim victory.
With one final, decisive strike, Mitsuya unleashed a technique he had honed in the realm of Lilith, a fusion of his own strength and the dormant power of the Ten-Tails Claws. The attack hit its mark, shattering the monster's defenses and leaving it defeated.
