(3 Months later...)
**THE DEEP FOREST - 1st FLOOR - DAY**
Both Ren and Luna can be seen standing far apart, both leaking bloodlust. Around them is a mountain of monsters' corpses.
Suddenly, Luna and Ren vanished, and a spark of fire and sound can be heard, but their bodies were still invisible.
"Clash!! Clash!!!"
Suddenly, they reappeared in the same spot.
Amidst the chaos of their battle, Ren and Luna clashed with incredible speed and power. Ren teleported around, using telekinesis to hurl objects and even make corpses explode, clearing the path of death monsters around Luna.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!!"
Luna, equally formidable, summoned massive tornadoes with her chaotic Wind control, adding all other elements to make the tornadoes so destructive that they could destroy a city in one minute.
"Swish!!! Thub!!! Crack!!!"
However, Ren didn't panic. Instead, he rushed at the tornadoes and used his scythe, now also a D+ rank weapon, to cut through them like butter. His strength was now so high that even without using his chaos control and strengthening skill, he could easily cut through mountains with strong enough weapons to handle the force.
Seeing her tornadoes didn't work, Luna smirked and started to howl like a wolf, even though she was now in human shape.
"Aoooooooooo!!!"
She stunned Ren with her howls and attacked with her sharp Rending Claws. With a berserker charge, she became three times stronger than before, launching a relentless assault.
Thub!!!
Bammm!!
Boom!!!
Swish!!!
However, Ren, with his keen senses, anticipated Luna's moves, defending himself with ease. Luna tried hiding in Ren's shadow to confuse him, but he saw through her tactics. In the end, Ren, wielding his scythe, managed to disarm Luna and emerged victorious.
"Wahhh!!! Why are you so strong? This is absolutely unfair. You neither used your Chaos control nor your body strengthening during our battle and still defeated me like you were fighting against a kid," Luna complained with teary eyes.
"Haha, that's why I told you to use your head a bit during battle, not always rush with just brute strength, stupid!!!" Ren commented in a mocking tone.
"M-Master, you are so meanie!! This time I even used my hide skill to hide under the shadow to sneak attack, but you still say I don't use my head. Hump." Luna replied in an angry pout.
"You know you should have been a blonde. That way, I could have made some joke over you. Anyway, yeah, you did use your brain a bit during this battle, but do you know why I said you are stupid?" Ren asked in a serious voice, though Luna could still feel he was just mocking her.
"It's because you already know that sneak attack was useless against me, but you still used it anyway. Use it on someone that doesn't have a high sixth sense and parallel thinking on top of that," Ren responded seriously, although she felt mocked, she still nodded her head at the response, even though she just half gets the reason but she didn't question further as she doesn't want to look like a stupid.
"Alright, shall we check our progress then?" Ren muttered with a smirk, and two blue screens appeared in front of him.

"Hahaha, we are both now at the peak of level 10." Ren laughed in excitement seeing their progress.
In these three months, Ren has mastered all types of weapons he brought from the store. He even fused all those skills, and it became weapon mastery. Now he can use all his abilities without a problem during battle.
He also gained some more different types of abilities which somehow got fused with chaos control. Now he can turn others into chaotic beings even if they are still alive. Although he tried to use this ability of his on some people on this floor, not a single one survived.
He also fused many special and different types of fire which later turned into Hell Fire, and it says this fire can burn anything. Just to test his ability, one day he even burned down a huge river on this floor in just a couple of minutes. He still doesn't know its full capabilities as there were very few things to explore this ability to its fullest.
Although he once tried to fuse Luna's abilities, but it was a huge failure as Luna almost blew herself up. Fortunately, she was an immortal or she would have died because of this experiment.
As Ren was thinking all this, Luna's shouting made him come back to his senses.
"Master!!!!! Why is it this hard to gain new abilities? I didn't gain any abilities during these last 3 months." Luna complained with a cute pout.
"Sigh, how would I know?" Ren replied in a lazy manner. But Luna didn't stop; she kept on asking, even though she could hardly comprehend most of the answers, but she didn't shy away when asking a question.
As they were chatting among themselves, suddenly both heard a sound in their head.
[Master, it's me Haruki; I have some important news I need to give you.] Haruki said through their telepathy in a serious expression.
"Ohh, what is it?" Ren asked curiously as he realized this was the time of monthly reports that Haruki gave him every month.
[Master, The Felicity guild has almost won this battle; now there is no branch floor of the Blood moon guild on any floor except the 10th floor as it's their main branch.]
[But today when I used my ability, I saw that the Blood moon guild is going to make a comeback in this month's time, as their guild master after clearing the 56th floor would become as strong as the Felicity Guild master.]
[So the war is going to be huge; I still don't know the end, though, as who is going to win and who will lose.] Haruki explained with a bit of concern as he was very afraid of the unknown. Since he died by REN's hand one time because he was unaware of the future at the correct time, he doesn't like the idea of staying in the dark for long.
"Ohh, then keep on observing the situation, and even if you die now, I can just revive you back, so no need to worry." Ren assured him as he understood everything that's going on in Haruki's mind because of their connection.
[Thank you, master; I will keep on informing whenever I find something important.] Haruki thanked Ren and cut their telepathy call.
"Sigh, now I have had enough of this floor; let's climb to higher floors." Ren said as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Yippee!!" Luna jumped out loud in excitement as she was tired of fighting the weak monsters on the 1st floor.
The only thing that kept her sane was Ren, who always beat her up without a problem, so she always tried to learn something new from him.
Now both were excited thinking about what challenges they might encounter in the future.
