55 Big Wall of Grief

"Hmm..." Kazuya hummed as he started looking around floor 13 of the dungeon. The 13th-17th Floors are known as the Cave Labyrinth.

The entrance to the 13th Floor is called the First Line. Starting from the 13th Floor, the walls, ground, and ceiling become made of bedrock. 

And currently, he was in the First Line meaning at the entrance of floor 13. His armor was full of blood and Kazuya frowned at the smell of the blood.

Seeing that there were no monsters spawning, he decided to rest first. He sat down near the stairs as it was safer there. Some adventurers passed by him but he ignored them.

He also started cleaning his armor and sword while sitting down. He rested for half an hour before standing again and continuing his journey.

--------

"Hm?" While traversing the 13th floor of the dungeon, Kazuya met the first monster on this floor. It was a group of cute rabbit-looking monsters with white fur and a horn.

Seeing the group of monsters approaching, Kazuya readied himself. He knew contrary to the cute appearance of the cute monsters in front, aka the Almirajs they love battles.

"Almirajs huh, they are quite weak individually but since they are in a group they can be considered as a level 2 threat. Heh, just perfect for a warm-up before fighting other monsters" He said his analysis of the monsters before smirking.

Kyuu! Kyuu!

(AN: Don't know what sound they make so I made my own)

The Almirajs let out a cute sound but their actions were the opposite. The group attacked Kazuya at the same time, they aimed their horns towards him and tried to stab him.

Not to be left out, he gripped his sword and started his attack too.

Dragon King Technique!

3rd form: Dragon King's Might!

He slammed his sword downwards hitting the ground and created a strong gush of wind that blew away the Almirajs.

"Tch" He clicked his tongue unsatisfied at the performance. 'If I still had my Ki they wouldn't have just been blown away, they would already be dead by this technique' He thought.

Quickly getting out of his thought, Kazuya started killing the little guys.

Swoosh! Swish!

Swift and precise slashes of his sword cut the poor bastards in half. In just 2 minutes he already killed all the Almirajs.

Soon after killing them, he started continuing his journey again. And just a few minutes of running and he encountered another group of monsters.

This time it was a group of dog-like monsters. Said monsters started spewing fire magic from their mouth after they sa Kazuya. The fire magic arrived fast and Kazuya started cutting them.

Swoosh! Swish!

"Hmpf!" Kazuya snorted, then using his sword he slashed through the magic. It was like the scene in SAO s2 where Kirito slashed the magic attacks but better.

"Hah!" He kicked off the ground beneath his feet and dashed towards the hell hounds. Arriving in front of one, he slashed down his sword and cut it in half.

Slash! Swish!

The other hell hounds started spewing fire magic once again, this time Kazuya dodged it by running in a zigzag pattern. While dodging the attacks he also started killing the monsters.

After killing them, once again he continued. Soon enough he traverses many floors and arrived at floor 15.

Just after running for a bit on this floor he already encountered monsters. This time they were stronger ones since monsters categorized as LVL 2 start to appear on this floor, just like the one in front of him.

The monsters in front of him are humanoid in shape with a cow head. It is one of the strongest monsters in the middle floors which he is in now, a minotaur.

Raargh!

The Minotaurs who number in 4 started running towards Kazuya. Some held onto weapons while some are empty-handed.

Swoosh! Bam!

Kazuya dodged the attacks of the minotaurs and slashed the one nearest to him. His sword cut through the thick skin of the arm of one of the minotaurs.

Roarr!

Blood started to spew out of the mutilated arm which held onto a club made of stone. Kazuya jumped back to avoid another attack.

"Luckily, I bought some stronger metals yesterday and reforge my sword with those otherwise I wouldn't even cut through that thick skin" He muttered before dashing forward towards the minotaurs.

Slash! Swish!

He jumped and landed at the shoulders of the minotaur of which hand he cut off. Kazuya then swiftly slashed his sword cutting off the neck of it.

Then the minotaur started disappearing into black smokes. Then from then, he started another killing spree, he killed the other ones in a matter of minutes.

And it seems Kazuya was quite lucky today as one of the minotaurs dropped a horn which he kept as a trophy before he ran again. He ignored the magic stones too.

--------

After hours, finally, he arrived at floor 17. Now he is inside a big room located on floor 17 which has a huge wall called Big Wall of Grief, which spawns the monster Rex Goliath.

He waited for a bit and nothing spawned, from what he knew the monster Rex is reborn every 2 weeks after being killed.

(AN: Correct me if I'm wrong about the time of its respawning)

"Fuuhh...Seems like I'm right. The monster Rex Goliath has been killed already that's why it didn't spawn." He let out a sigh of relief, it's not like he is scared to fight it. It's just he doesn't like to fight it now as he plans to leave it for later on.

But fate seems to be playing with him as just after he relaxed, the walls on the big room started breaking and a humanoid monster standing at 7 meters with grey skin appeared suddenly.

Roarr!

It roared and turned towards Kazuya. Seeing that monster, Kazuya cursed in a low voice.

"F*CK, why did I celebrate early. Is fate playing with me or something. What a drag, sigh...." He readied himself as he held onto his longsword.
