Chereads / Birth of the Strongest Hunter: From Human to God / Chapter 10 - Dungeon Escape Part 5

Chapter 10 - Dungeon Escape Part 5

A Large light appears near the Demon King's Castle and Leo walks out of it ready to fight.

"The last stage. If I clear this stage I'll be free."

Leo walks into the castle with the wind blowing on him.

(If I Complete this, I'll be free.)

Leo arrives at the Wooden Door and looks to his right seeing the ancient drawing on the stone tablet.

"Now I see, The Stone Tablet are talking about the Demonic Beast rulers. The Angel Demon, The Demon King, The Dragon King, The Fox King, the Boar Emperor, The Wolf Emperor, The Serpent Goddess, The Elf Demon Lord, and the Tiger Demon. The Nine Demon Emperors. So amongst these nine, My Opponent is..."

Leo opens the wooden door and walks through and sees a group of Demonic beasts waiting for him with the Fox Demonic Beast sitting on the throne.

"I'm impressed you made it this far, human." The Fox Demonic beast said in a Demonic language.

"The Nine-tailed fox, Kagero. For some reason I understand you completely." Leo said.

"It is to show that now you are becoming like us. Your strength is of those blessed humans that the feeble humans praise."

"I See. Status Scan."

{Status Scan}

{Name: Kagero the Nine Tails}

{Title: The Yokai God}

{Job: Demon Emperor}

{Level:400}

"Well I am dealing with a big shot. But to think he surpasses me by this much." Leo said.

"Satisfied? Well, Shall we get started?"

{Objective: Defeat 14 Enemies in Ten Minutes}

{Reward: N/A}

"Very well, Bring it on."

{Item Equipped: Leo's Lightning Sword}

The Demonic beasts charge in for Leo and Leo leaps to the sky and balances on air.

{Speed Cutting Skill Activated}

Leo starts slashing down all the Demonic Beasts in a flash.

{Enemies Defeated:14/14. Objective Completed. Time: 00:15:00:47}

{Reward: N/A}

"Truly impressive I dare say. And these Demonic beasts were not holding back per my command. I feel like you'll give me what I've been searching for for the past seven years."

{Warning: Opponent has used Skill Intimidation}

Kagero blasts his aura at Leo and cracks start to form around the chamber.

"Give me a fun time, Human."

"Very well. I shall respond in kind."

{Final Round: Defeat Dungeon Boss}

{Reward: Various New Skills + Unlimited Mana Potion + Unlimited Health Potion + 100 Million Gold Coins + 1 Million Mana stones}

"So many rewards, you really are a big shot."

Leo and Kagero charge in for each other and swing their swords at each other. Their swords collide which sends out a shockwave causing more cracks around the chamber.

Leo thrusts his sword at Kagero's head but Kagero evades and connects a knee to the guts.

**Cough**

Leo moves back and swings once more but Kagero ducks and sweeps off his legs and kicks him away. Leo balances on his feet.

{Wind Manipulation Skill Activated}

Leo creates a 100 Wind Soldiers.

"You're able to use wind magic this much, Impressive."

The soldiers charge in for Kagero but Kagero keeps slashing them down rapidly. Leo uses his agility to rapidly appear behind Kagero but Kagero quickly turns and connects a knee to the chin.

Kagero grabs him by the face and tosses him through the doors.

"**Smirk** Interesting."

Kagero leaps for Leo and connects a kick to the guts and followed by a roundhouse kick sending him flying through the roof.

Kagero leaps out and lands on the roof.

"Beautiful red moon isn't it."

"It's not my world so I don't think it's beautiful."

Leo and Kagero continue to clash on the rooftop of the castle. Kagero slashes off Leo's left arm and connects a kick to the head sending him flying towards a graveyard.

"You're a worthy opponent."

{Opponent has equipped item: Undead Ring}

"Arise."

The Dead people start waking up from their graves.

"You're interesting young lad. I'm having fun."

{Opponent has activated skill Transformation}

Kagero transforms to full Nine Tails and his tail lashes destroy everything around him.

"Bring me that boy's head."

The Dead people run for Leo and Leo starts dodging every single one of them.

"Don't move."

{Opponent Activated Skill: Commander's Voice}

Leo is rendered unable to move.

(Shit, I can't move.)

One of the Deads throws a hook sending Leo flying.

"I am what you humans consider God-level. Right now you just attained the National level, you're no threat. Your system was made when they couldn't determine the S-Rank Strength and began ranking them after the Top 5 Demon Emperors. But you're below the hierarchy."

Leo opens a portal above Kagero and appears above him.

{Lightning Manipulation Skill Activated}

Leo strikes Kagero down with a lightning strike but Kagero blocks with his tails. Kagero grabs Leo with his tail and slams him flat and straight back into the chamber.

Leo creates shadow soldiers and they all go attack Kagero. Kagero smirks and blasts them away with his aura causing the castle to collapse.

"The Palace couldn't handle his size. Well then..."

Leo moves at rapid speed and Kagero tries to attack him with the tails but Leo dodges them all and cuts off the last one.

He slips under him and leaps behind him. Kagero lashes his tail at him but Leo enters a portal and appears before him.

"The Seven Year Nightmare...End now!!"

{Lightning Manipulation + Wind Manipulation Skill Activated}

Leo cloaks his sword in wind and lightning. Kagero creates a blast and launches but Leo cuts it in half and decapitates Kagero in a flash.

"So many skills. Wait, It said Instant regeneration."

{Instant Regeneration Skill Activated}

Leo completely regenerates his left arm.

"Cool."

Leo stretches his body and thinks to himself.

(According to Kagero, The System the Government chose for ranking the after S-Ranks was made according to the Top Five Demon Emperors. Very well, I'll take them all down.)

A Gate opens next to Leo.

{Stage 1 of the Quest Birth of the Strongest Hunter Complete. Moving to the next stage of the Quest}

Leo slowly walks through the gate and out of the Dungeon. Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Shakunetsu's Hunters Association building.

A man comes running into the chairman's office.

"Chairman Daiichi!!"

"So loud, What is it?"

[Daiichi Yamamoto _ Chairman of the Hunters Association]

"It's about the Seven Year Dungeon, It opened."

"What?!"

"Someone cleared the Dungeon."

"By who?!"

"Security has stopped him at the entrance, we'll bring him in for questioning."

'That Dungeon was S-Rank, Who could have cleared it?'
