Happy reading!
===========
Several more hours have passed, Ethan, he is back walking where he was before.
It's just that he was outside the forest, looking quite small.
The size is only about hundreds of meters, but the end is not very deep.
It even looks like the bear's previous base, covered in blood.
But Ethan didn't care, he had no intention of coming back.
For now he had to quickly conquer the first floor, together with the lizardmen.
Stepping, Stepping-
They all kept walking, exploring what was there.
Until we went through the forest, and everything came back.
Becomes a place full of rocks, barren.
Strange, it felt like the temperature in this place was so hot, but he didn't know.
Ethan immediately used his senses, sensing something suspicious.
It's located at the front.
He immediately closed his eyes, wanting to focus his senses.
'hmm... What is that?' Ethan was confused, seeing something like fire.
The creature was covered in red flames, extremely hot.
Unfortunately he didn't know what it was at all, wanted to ask the system.
'System, what is the name of that creature race?'
[Fire Lions, different from their kind, they are much stronger.]
[It's just that they are weak against things like water and ice.]
[their level: 15.]
[The technique they use most often is the use of flames that are all over their bodies.]
'Hah? So, they are stronger than bears?'
Ethan asked again, this time with sparkling eyes.
Feeling very curious about them, seeing their high level.
He knew it would give him so many experience points, and be so profitable!
[You could say yes, and also no.]
"..."
Ethan was silent for a moment, feeling that his question was very stupid.
However, they have many weaknesses, which makes them inferior to bears.
That's a fact.
'hah... Never mind, I'll take care of them first!'
Without wasting any time, Ethan's eyes became as sharp as swords.
His vision became extremely sharp, covering various things around him.
Seeing that there were 7 Fire Lions standing guard, their appearance was very scary.
It was around 2-3 meters tall, and its tail was made of fire.
However, it does not cover the lower body, like lions in general.
The only difference was that their skin was as red as blood.
Very domineering.
Ethan, he could see something behind them, it was a strange wall.
Being at the edge, as if they were guarding it.
"hum..."
He started to get curious, wondering what their purpose was.
And why did they have to stand there, so alert.
As if they knew someone would come. Even though Ethan doesn't care.
Not long after, Ethan walked slowly again.
This time quietly, without a sound.
He controlled it a little, using the ability to walk on air.
It's easier, without having to waste time.
The Lizardmans were confused as to why their envoy would do such a thing.
But they didn't mean to ask too much, and wanted to follow him.
Unfortunately, Ethan immediately stopped them.
"Don't come, this is my business." while looking at them with cold eyes.
So piercing, so oppressive.
"gulp-"
The Lizardmen subconsciously gulped, feeling their skin tingling.
In the end they immediately nodded their heads, not wanting to argue too much.
Ethan became satisfied, looking back at where his two slaves were.
Their faces were filled with happiness, seeing that they would not be caught up in the battle.
"..."
Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly, but it soon disappeared.
Turning into a sly smile, thinking of a crazy plan.
Shiver-
The gorilla and bear felt trembling for some reason, an uneasy feeling swept through their hearts.
And sure enough, immediately they felt their whole bodies floating.
Being pulled by the master, how cruel!
Ethan, he pulled their heads, using his left and right hands.
"Guh...!-"
They both cried, wanting to try to escape.
Ethan felt a little annoyed, thinking his plan would fail.
"shut up." Ethan said coldly, full of anger.
Even the domination effect started to activate, making their entire bodies ache.
"Gah!!!-"
They roared loudly, fortunately not heard by the lions.
"Tch!" Ethan clicked his tongue, his anger became very strong.
Annoyance welled up in his heart seeing the two of them making such a fuss.
Suddenly he thought of something interesting, even crazier.
Ethan, he lifted them up, like it was nothing.
It doesn't feel heavy, get ready to do the throwing pose.
Similar to playing volleyball, crazy.
He immediately threw them one by one, starting with the bear first.
The second is the gorilla, merciless.
Besides, Ethan was sure they would survive even if their skin was burned.
"Do It, my two slaves!"
He shouted with joy, very excited.
Howl-
Both of them were immediately overcome with fear, seeing themselves floating endlessly.
There are no signs that the speed will decrease, in fact it is getting faster.
Suddenly their faces darkened, feeling something hot in front of them.
Looking at that place, their faces were immediately covered in sweat.
Realizing what it was, a terrible creature.
"Gahhh!!!-"
They roared again, as if they wanted to ask for help.
While covering they face, didn't want to get hurt.
It only took a few minutes for them to land exactly where they were.
Fell on them all mercilessly, injured.
Rumble-
Vibrations occurred around the ground, showing how strong Ethan's blow was.
If it had been a human, they would have already died, with no body left.
It can be seen that the bodies of the old ancestral and the bear leaders were burned, although only their skin.
They turned completely black, faint.
Their eyes rolled, feeling the world around them dizzy.
Falling to the ground, along with the fire lions.
"..."
Ethan could only continue to smile, his smile getting wider.
Without realizing it, his sadistic side emerged, looking forward with an expression similar to irises.
Not wanting to linger, he immediately jumped, straight ahead.
Where the two slaves landed, not willing to waste this opportunity.
After all, when else would he be able to kill those who were injured.
"hahaha! Wait, you guys will become my food!" he said excitedly, preparing to launch his attack forward.
It's blood, using it brutally.
Instantly forming several hundred needles, overwhelming Ethan.
It was difficult for him to control this amount, indicating that this was his limit.
For now.
"ugh..."
However, Ethan had no intention of stopping and wanted to push his body.
Wanting to go beyond his limits, feeling pain.
"attack!"
Fyush-
All the needles made of blood started to move, heading towards where the crowd of fire lions were.
Incredibly fast, even stronger than anything he had ever used.
The fire lions began to notice something strange near them, and immediately turned their gazes forward.
Something glowing red appeared, starting to pierce everything.
Unfortunately, Ethan's attack wasn't very deep. They use fire as a shield.
This made Ethan's attack blocked, even though they still felt pain.
Their entire bodies were bleeding profusely, from their upper bodies to their heads.
"Grr..."
They all became extremely angry, feeling pain almost all over their bodies.
Turning to where Ethan was, he saw that he was already near them.
"Tch." Ethan clicked his tongue, dissatisfaction rising in his heart.
Seeing as his attack couldn't kill them, luckily it still left them injured.
Ethan saw that their regeneration was slow, and that was very beneficial for him.
Not long after, a surprising thing happened, Ethan, he used his sword to slash one of the fire lions.
Right above his head, in two parts.
"Gahhh!-"
The lions roared very loudly, full of anger.
Soon, some of them also appeared.
Coming from the top of the rocks, very high.
'Damn... This is serious!' Ethan thought panicked, he was still floating in the air.
Not intending to set foot on the ground, feeling the threat.
Suddenly something unexpected happened, the entire ground where they were standing turned into a sea of fire.
Ethan, he reflexively jumped to where his two slaves were, wanting to immediately save them.
Absolutely can't bear to leave the two of them.
After arriving near them, he once again tugged at the two, who were now hairless.
Still in a semi-conscious state, waiting for their regeneration to activate.
"Go back there."
Once again, Ethan threw them back to their original place.
Hoping the Lizardmen would catch their bodies. But, he had no intention of telling them.
Because Ethan had to focus on the creature beneath him, it was very scary.
The surrounding land continued to turn like lava.
"gulp-"
He started to feel the heat, fortunately Ethan had resistance to fire.
If it were an ordinary human they would have been charred, helplessly burned.
Sweat began to drip from around his forehead until it reached his chin.
"hot..."
The surrounding temperature started to rise, without any warning.
Suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.
[Gained 400 exp from killing a fire lion, remaining 1,940/2,500 exp to reach level 13.]
[Get 50 lucky coins from killing a fire lion.]
"..."
Ethan was a little speechless when he saw how many numbers he got.
This was his first time getting this much experience.
"t-this..."
Soon, greed began to take over his heart.
Luckily he quickly dismissed the dangerous thought, knowing that it would only dig his grave.
Howl-
"This is serious, isn't it?" he muttered under his breath, continuing to stare at them warily.
Seeing something change all over their bodies, like molten lava.
Even Ethan's entire needle made of blood instantly melted and boiled.
Ethan suddenly realized that he had made an irreparable mistake.
His face darkened, and he blamed himself.
But he still didn't want to give up, because this was his duty.
Have no intention of going back, and want to keep moving forward.
"Okay! Come here, damn lions!" Ethan shouted excitedly, forcing himself to stand.
While smiling broadly, showing his sharp canine teeth.
The crowd of fire lions didn't care much about Ethan's words, preparing to attack him.
Their bodies dropped slightly, as did their legs.
Jump-
They started jumping from where they stepped on, towards where Ethan was.
There are currently around 14 fire lions, that's absurd!
However, Ethan didn't move an inch. Seeing the 14 lions lunging at him simultaneously.
A small grin formed on his lips, thinking of a plan.
Soon, lightning started flashing all over his body again.
Ethan's two dragon wings were once again visible, emerging from his back.
His gaze became sharp, full of pressure.
Even so, the fire lion did not feel intimidated, preparing to launch an attack.
Using the lava that is all over their bodies, levitate.
"GAHHH!-"
One crowd roared, sending lava flying towards where Ethan was.
As fast as a needle, although lower.
Ethan, he narrowed his eyes, annoyance rising in his heart.
Seeing the entire area around him starting to be surrounded by a ball of lava, it was extremely hot.
