Lucius POV
Dungeon, Twenty-Third Floor.
Without wasting any more time, fueled by anger, I kicked the ground with my speed at the level of a recently leveled-up 3; however, despite Carina having recently reached level 04, she is an experienced level three, so my speed wouldn't pose a challenge to her.
But it wasn't my agility that I was relying on to fight them. As I ran, I began to disappear and reappear a few meters ahead, gaining momentum and reaching the group much faster than just running with my physical stats.
Carina, who had already entered a stunned state again by seeing me do something so simple while running, was caught off guard. When she finally refocused on the battle, I was already right next to her with a wicked smile.
"WHAT... HMMMM." As she was about to exclaim, I placed my left hand on her face before she could speak and said with a smirk.
"Take this, you bitch." My hand lit up in friction with her skin, and point-blank fire shot straight into Carina's face.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed in pain as she was thrown backward. The dwarf next to her tried to attack me immediately as he snapped out of his stunned state, but six fireballs appeared around me and shot point-blank at him too, while he kicked the ground without having time to dodge.
None of my attacks were effective against a level three and level four to the point of seriously affecting them, but I surprised them with all of this.
"HEY HEY! What the hell is all this? How can he do magic without saying anything or without having a staff in hand?" The level two members in the rear were stunned by what just happened in front of them, seeing their leaders being beaten so quickly.
How could they not be? They were nervous, watching me, who used to be an outcast in the family, now attacking the family executives in a matter of seconds, while they were tossed around like rag dolls.
However, even though I still had the element of surprise, I didn't continue to intensely attack the higher levels here. I didn't want to kill them so easily; in fact, I wanted to fight them for a good while to test my abilities and teach these bunch of arrogant individuals a lesson.
For this reason, I stopped attacking Carina and Hug so they could recover and turned to face the others who were clustered about 10 meters away from them. I started launching attacks at the lower levels as well.
*Flames*
*Boom*

The fireballs flew directly into this group without warning. Seeing this, I began casting other spells on them as I approached. Unfortunately, I couldn't cast multiple spells, opting for one spell at a time, but it was quite destructive for my former colleagues.
"AHHHH, IT BURNS!"
"ATTACK HIM NOW, UNTIL THE EXECUTIVES CAN RECOVER!"
"HE CAN CAST GRAVITATIONAL MAGIC, I'M BEING CRUSHED HERE."
"SHOOT HIM!"
Arrows and some spells were flying in my direction after archers shot and mages chanted, but I dodged them with my small teleportation all the time. Some attacks exploded on the nearby ground, managing to burn me, as my dodge had a space of 1 to 2 meters to reappear. But a quick minor heal did its job here; when hit under the rain of attacks, it wasn't anything too serious with my protections, even against 8 level-two adventurers.
"Man, this is so much fun, it even made me lose the anger I had before!" I exclaimed as blows flew my way, and I dodged, fighting with a sword and teleporting using magic in the other hand to attack from a distance.
"Man, I even feel like the real Julius here!" I couldn't help but exclaim when I remembered that episode where Julius appears to rescue Asta.
"If I could use a longer teleport and had the ability to fly here, it would be like a complete wizard king, right now!" I couldn't help but murmur.
While I was ecstatic with my abilities in such a disadvantageous fight, my enemies didn't share my enthusiasm because they were so frustrated as they looked at my smiling face while I dodged them and attacked, hurting many in the group. While none of their blows hit me directly, the warriors began to close in.
When a human with a sword and shield attacked me, I countered with my sword and smiled at him.
"Long time no see, Lidy, how's everything going?" I was having so much fun in the fight that I even struck up a conversation with good humor; this battle made my initial anger disappear with the adrenaline of mastering the fight.
"Shut up and fight, you damn bastard!" He growled and Attempted to strike me with the shield with his other hand while our swords were crossed. I teleported 2 meters back, making his shield hit nothing.
"Is that how you talk to a former colleague?" I mocked.
"Stop running like a coward with these strange abilities!" He charged at me. But without saying anything, six balls formed in the air and flew towards him, which made his eyes widen as he tried to shield himself from the blows.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
"Ahhh, you damn bastard, that burns!" He snarled; even though the shield protected him from the direct hit, he still felt the heat, the smoke covering him completely at this moment. Noticing three arrows flying toward me, with a thought, three fireballs formed in the air, incinerating them as they came towards me.
"How can they be so strong!?" Some of them exclaimed, seeing how they were being dominated by a newly-promoted level 2 mage.
"He never displayed magic before; now he has fire, gravity, healing spells?" Some were incredulous, seeing this new me.
"I see my old colleagues are a little jealous?" I mocked, making everyone angry.
"YOU DAMNEDDDD!" A voice that no longer sounded human was heard from the other side. There was a young lady with a red face and burnt patches; an empty potion vial fell from her hand to the ground, and her face began to heal. Her anger was beyond anything I had seen in the past 2 years.
The fight here lasted only 30 seconds. Carina and Hug decided to recover from the attack first and see a bit of my abilities before attacking me again. However, every time I opened my mouth, they became more irritated.
"FORGET ABOUT ESCORTING YOU! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU HERE!!" She declared with so much anger that she seemed more like an angry dog than a catwoman.
"Miss Carina, you should smile more; you look much uglier with that hateful expression..." I tried to imitate Hermes, sarcastically.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU-NYAHHHH!" She growled like an animal now and lunged to attack me. The dwarf also recovered at this moment and ran to attack me along with Carina.

I was being pressured from all sides at this moment, surrounded by 10 enemies, while fireballs formed attacking from all sides to relieve some pressure. I was using some gravitational abilities to slow down my enemies; it would slow me down too, but I used my teleportation to move, giving me some advantage.
But at one point, Carina managed to scratch my face with her claws. She was in her catwoman beatification, greatly increasing her strength and, most importantly, her agility. Although it was a scratch, it was because I narrowly dodged; otherwise, I could have been severely injured or even killed by a level-four physical attack in a beatification.
"This is getting too dangerous..." I murmured and then prepared for another round of frenetic attacks in this fight.
Without thinking twice, I raised a hand with dark purple energy and threw it into the midst of the group of level 2 adventurers. A purple ball expanded in a swirling motion, and directly from the oblivion, a flaming atronach emerged with charged magic, which took 10 seconds to be launched as I dodged enemy attacks.
Seeing the fire creature appear out of nowhere, they were surprised and frightened, especially when it started launching firebolts at them without warning. This would keep them busy for a while so I could deal with these two stronger ones here. With the summoning magic charged, the Atronach could be compared to a level 2 at its peak, which would keep them occupied for some time.
I started fighting again against my two most powerful opponents now and was doing better without the other level 2s attacking me from a distance now.
"It's a shame you're not used to level four; it would be more challenging if that were the case." I said to the catwoman trying to cut me with her berserker claws.
"DON'T MOCK ME, DAMNED LUCIUS! HOW CAN YOU FACE US, HOW DID YOU GET SO STRONG!" She was driven mad by the humiliation and even by the unknown magic she was experiencing here.
"DON'T LET HIM GET TO YOU, CARINA, WE CAN DEAL WITH HIM!" Hug appeared at my side and tried to hit me, but I used a quick dodge as the ground opened a hole with the force of the level-three dwarf. Ignoring my two adversaries for a second, I saw that the group of 8 was dealing with my Atronach, so I turned my attention back to my closer enemies.
"I admit that this was fun, but it's time to end this..." I said to myself. Without wasting any more time, I cast gravity magic, charged from the dwarf and catwoman; the level-four magical power with a spell and my ability to charge became a dangerous combination. Feeling the overwhelming pressure, their instincts immediately made them try to move away from me, but it was already too late. The entire spell field turned purple as the pressure increased among those inside, very different from the gravitational magic they had felt before.
"WHAT!?" The dwarf knelt a bit, struggling to move as he fought to keep his knees from giving in. Carina was affected too, but she fared better than her companion, becoming a bit less agile under the pressure, but it was enough for me.
So, without wasting time before they could escape the gravitational circle, I made the decision to cast my newest and most powerful spell in my repertoire. Seeing that they were very close to each other, I let go of my sword and held one arm with one hand while my other hand pointed openly at the two adventurers. Then I screamed with all the force of my lungs.
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
An explosion much larger than any I had ever made began to form in my hand, and a fireball, equivalent to a basketball, flew at high speed towards both who were restricted with the gravity spell.
*BOOOOOM*
The explosion covered both, turning the ground around them into debris; Fireball was 10 times more powerful than Firebolt, and I was seeing its terrible power for the first time after acquiring this spell a little before wanting to return to the surface.
"The destructive power was much superior to my Firebolt." I couldn't help but murmur as I saw the fire and destruction covering a diameter of 2 meters. But I'm dealing with a level 3 and 4 here, so would just one Fireball be enough?
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
[- Fire Spell, FIREBALL!]
*BOOOOOM*
10 consecutive explosions echoed throughout the corridor, I cast without waiting for them to recover from the first attack, merciless this time.
When the smoke from the wreckage cleared, and their state was first seen, there was a dwarf lying on the ground unconscious, while the catwoman was still standing, but her clothes were all torn, her skin was burned, and her gaze was pure hatred directed towards me, but she didn't move a muscle, not at all.
"You're really tough, Carina. Well, I could kill all of you, but I'll let you go because I know I'll get into trouble with the guild, even though you really deserve it." I said as I walked towards Carina calmly, not caring how she still stared at me with a hatred I had never seen before.
As I approached, I didn't even mind that she was naked and had injuries all over her body; I approached fearlessly and spoke close to her right ear.
"Tell that to Heimdall-sama, that this is my answer to him, but if you bother me again, I swear, even if I become a fugitive from Orario's laws, I'll give Heimdall a free pass to heaven and, exclusively for all of you, a free trip straight to hell, well... if there is one, of course." I said in her ear, loud enough for everyone who was now watching with expressions of fear to hear.
The long-range fights had ended a bit before I launched my fireballs. They had finally destroyed my atronach, but seeing the state of their executives, it was clear that they couldn't fight me and were showing fear and hesitation at this moment.
I wasn't joking; I would exterminate the entire family if they became a threat. I wasn't even afraid of the guild because I personally threatened Raymon in front of Fels two weeks ago. I'm not too concerned if my falna can be taken away, as I can evolve that god's blessing thanks to the system, so it doesn't matter to me to sneak into the dungeon.
She didn't even follow me with her gaze as I walked past her as if we weren't fighting a moment ago. Even the group of level-two adventurers stood still, afraid to make a move. Meanwhile, I continued forward, waiting to see how things are on the surface.
