Chapter 6 - Kill with Fear

Pant... Pant...

"What a mess, do I have to be draining out at a time like this"

With a tired body and expression of struggle, he was standing with the support of his sword. He was glancing at the lizards, which had their charged breath aimed at him.

Not good, I need to do something about this.

"System"

[Yes!]

[Enable the boost mode]

[Your strength has been boosted (5 minutes only)]

[Your speed has been boosted (5 minutes only)]

The lizard blasted their breath at Leon.

Boom... Boom...

The whole place, where Leon was standing was covered with flames.

For a second the flames were violently high. The chance for Leon's survival in such an attack was absolute zero.

The dragon lizards stopped their breaths as they tried to sense any presence inside the Huge flames.

Slowly the flames cool down. Everything was completely burned and there was no one remaining.

The dragons felt relief, for them the enemy had been taken down without them being able to eat him up.

Woosh...

From behind Leon appeared, he had his hand extended towards the lizards.

The lizards were stunned the moment they realized that the enemy was behind.

With a quick turn of their heads, they try to charge their breaths at Leon. Who already prepared his attack.

For the lizards.

Leon was smirking as a fire appeared on his palm.

"Let's see how you handle the same fire you just tried to burn me with"

[Your skill fireball has been used]

Killing those all dragon lizards was useful after all I did obtain this ability of there's.

He blasted the fireball at the lizard. Four of them were caught in the blast while the remaining 6 reacted fast to dodge the blast.

After avoiding the blast, the lizards rushed towards Leon.

Changing his aim at the remaining lizard, he begins to shoot the fireballs at them.

Lizards because of their dragon eyes were able to dodge but 2 more were caught on fire.

There are just 4 left, I am still able to move since I'm not using the sword's power but system power.

Even when I'm using system power I can still feel the pain in my body right now, it's still bearable pain.

After all, I have experienced pain many times.

These lizards do have dragon eyes but they are at their initial level so, a lower version isn't a big deal for me to worry about.

I need to take them down.

He stopped the fire and ran towards the lizards.

Slash...

Leon cuts one of the lizard's heads from the middle.

This sword is sharp. I just barely used my strength to cut and it just cut the head from the middle easily.

One of the lizards from the right side of Leon, attacks, opening his mouth to bite Leon's head.

"Do you think I don't expect such type of attack?"

Extending his hand towards the open mouth of the lizard which was just a little away from his hand.

Boom...

Arrrrrrrrrr....

The lizard's mouth was burning from the inside because of the hot flames.

It begins to roll on the ground with the pain in its mouth. Screaming...

2 remaining.

2 of them didn't approach Leon, who turned around with a terrifying look.

Both of the lizards were hesitant to approach a very terrifying human.

Who brutally killed their fellow lizards just now.

"Why are you so scared, did someone hurt you or just traumatised you?"

His voice was cold when he spoke.

After all, the lizard could feel the killing intent that Leon was giving them.

Both of the lizards were shaken by Leon. Their feet were trembling in fear.

Leon walked towards the lizard while dragging his sword onto the ground.

Lizards were backing off slowly as Leon was moving towards them.

"Why are you backing off, come now. Attack me with your fire or with those childish teeth"

One of the lizards charged his breath. Once charged, he fired it at Leon.

Leon extended his hand and fired his attack.

Boom...

Black smoke occurred because of the collision of both side's attack.

From the black smoke, Leon emerged.

Both of the lizards fired their attack on Leon but with the same type he fired back.

Boom...

The lizard kept firing but each time their aim became inaccurate.

Fear makes even a strong man weak, they get blinded by the fear with ease.

That's why when fear comes. Make it yours.

"Give me the dagger"

[Dagger - C rank]

A dagger with a reddish look appears in Leon's hand.

He throws the dagger at one of the lizards and it perfectly gets stabbed in his left eye.

Arrrrrrr.....

In anger, the lizard tries to fly up.

"Not too fast"

With full force, he threw the sword at the lizard. Which passes throw the chest of the lizard making a hole in it.

Thudd...

It lifelessly falls to the ground.

One remaining now, what should I do with it?

The pain in my body is getting worse and worse. I don't think I can endure it before reaching the boss stage.

He directed his hand towards the lizard, killing it with one attack.

Rrrrroooommmmmm...

What's that sound? Leon moved his gaze towards the coming sound.

His eyes were opened and a face of anxious expression.

He saw different types of monsters running towards him at their best speed from a far distance.

"Just how many are they?! Are those A-rank monsters!!"

Leon knew he was in trouble now because of exhaustion and usage of almost all the energy he had.

He was having pain in his body.

[Hidden stage unlock]

[Stage 1.5 - information not available]

Sigh.

"Well, I have no choice now. I will just die but it's of no use if I die normally"

He smiled at the approaching monsters. Pointing his sword at them.

"I will take them down with me before I die"
