The room was wide and the air inside was tight. There's no window nor path for the air to enter deep inside this place so ordinary people below C-rank would suffer suffocation from this plane. The room was illuminated by a magic crystal that was hanging on the walls. Without this magic crystal, the entire place would be dark.

Souta's group was standing in front of the door frame. The door which was made of rare materials was on the floor just beside them. It seems that the people inside the room forcefully opened it.

The whole place didn't collapse even after S-rank powerhouses fought in this place.

It feels like Souta was inside a high level dungeon in Imperium. The dungeon in Imperium was durable as it could handle the power of powerful monsters. Just looked back when he subdued the White Jade Spider in the Forest of Eternal Light. The White Jade Spider was a third evolution stage monster yet the room that it resided at didn't even collapse.

'It was enchanted by runes...' Saya's voice sounded.

'Runes?' Souta glanced at the walls and floors. The walls and floor were color gray and it only had cracks on its surface.

'Yeah, you know about runes, right?' Saya said.

'Yes, I've learned its history and use in the institute.' Souta nodded.

Runes were similar to magic circles as they contained mysterious powers. The only difference was the runes couldn't be imprinted inside a person's inner consciousness. But it can be imprinted outside of a person's body.

In the game, the class of these people was called Rune Warriors or Rune Knights.

Runes were also an enchantment. Runes were imprinted in transmission talismans that made people communicate from different places. It has many uses and strengthening an object was one of them.

'I only know the basics of runes as I don't have a time to study it. In the institute, I learned the formation of a magic circle and it was already enough to take most of time my. Then, ever since we arrived in sub-world I diverge my attention on your Archetype Skill.' Souta said to Saya.

'Actually, I didn't expect that you wouldn't be bound by the restrictions of Archetype Skill so when I found out about it, I eagerly changed your training regime. After all, it will give a great advantage when fighting someone that didn't have Archetype Skill.' Saya said awkwardly.

Souta was about to reply to Saya when a young man from the opposite group stepped forward and released a powerful energy of an A-rank powerhouse.

Boom!

"This is dangerous... I didn't know how they killed Vincent's group easily. Vincent is a person at Annihilation Realm yet he didn't even last long against these people." Gragas said in a grave tone.

He wanted to attack but he didn't do so. The strength of the other group exceeded his imagination and he didn't have an idea how did they manage to kill Vincent's Group in a short amount of time.

"Extermination Realm..."

Amanda turned pale and felt that the aura of this young man was stronger than her.

The young man looked at the four of them and smiled, "The higher-ups are right. The third evolution monster is really here. We'll talk later after we capture you."

Souta glanced at Gragas and said, "Don't have a choice. We'll fight them here."

"It seems that you are their target," Gragas said.

"Well, it seems that they are related to the people that are occupying the hidden base of the Witch Clan." Souta smiled bitterly as he stepped forward.

"I'll paralyze them first just like what I did to the previous group so prepare yourself to attack anytime." The young man said as his mana started to gather on his hand creating a vortex of energy.

Swoosh!

Souta grinned as he slowly approached the opposite group.

The enemies consisted of three S-rank, five A-rank, and four B-rank.

It's been a long time since he had fought seriously. Ever since he arrived in this high world, he stayed low profile and didn't do anything. His last battle was against his copy in the living labyrinth.

But that was a few months ago.

He was several times stronger compared to the time when he fought his copy.

The opposite group narrowed their eyes when they saw Souta walk towards them with a grin on his face. The best feram slowly seeped out of his body and it brought heavy pressure. A natural pressure brought by a third evolution monster.

But the three S-rank experts weren't worried at all. One of them had the power to kill a third evolution monster and it would be overkill if the three of them work together.

In their opinion, the five A-rank experts beside them were enough to deal with Souta.

"As expected of a monster, a creature that doesn't know fear." The young man said as the four A-rank experts stood beside him.

They were the ones who killed Vincent's Group that had two S-rank experts. So they had a confidence to defeat Souta.

Gragas slightly bent his knees and immediately launched himself forward like a rocket.

Boom!

His speed was great as he directly flew ahead of Souta and head straight to the S-rank experts.

Boom!

The battle quickly started as one of the three S-rank experts wrestled with Gragas.

Gragas was cautious at first but when he realized that Souta wanted to directly crush the enemy, he didn't hesitate anymore and rushed ahead with all of his strength.

There's one thing in his mind and that's to secure the soul weapon for his study.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta glanced at the battle and sighed inwardly. He didn't expect that Gragas would rush forward.

Still, this room was pretty huge, the gap between the ceiling and the floor was probably twenty-five meters. There were dozens of silver-colored chests at the side and the treasures of the auction house must be inside those chests.

"Amanda, Yenxa, prepare yourself."

Souta said as he continued to move forward. He silently activated the [Triple Muscle Strengthening], [Cat's Speed], [Agility Boost], [Strength Boost], [Shadow Step], and [Night Overlord's Aura].

The young man at A-rank directly used a skill when Souta was ten meters away from him.

"Close your eyes and cover your ears!"

The young man roared as a bright light appeared above his head. Then, he snapped his finger causing an ear piercing sound to echo in the whole area.

[Bloody Ear Rupture]!

[Blinding King Light]!

[Bloody Ear Rupture] was a powerful skill that could generate powerful sound waves. It would hinder the hearing senses of any creature and it could even generate a powerful sound attack. The [Blinding King Light] was a skill to block the opponent's vision. It was an auxiliary skill used for support.

The young man used these two skills to directly rob the senses of their enemy. Vincent's Group was caught off guard by these skills and the comrades of the young man used the opportunity to gravely injure them.

'Eh? This guy is preventing me from hearing and seeing things.' Souta said inwardly as flesh covered his eyes and ears.

He was familiar with this skill. The people who looked at the blinding light would feel excruciating pain from their eyes and the same from the sound. People who heard the sound would feel extreme pain.

Swoosh!

Thinking that they caught Souta, the other four A-rank experts unleashed their powerful skills.

"How absurd..."

Souta grinned widely as his body inflated and a vast amount of best feram gushed out of his body.

"Quickly stop the attack!!" One of the S-rank experts shouted but he was already too late.

Souta's body turned into a three-meter tall savage looking monster. His huge body swiftly avoided the attack of the A-rank experts while activating several skills at the same time.

Boom! Boom!

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[Second Form: Thousand Oaks Absorption]!

Souta opened his giant hand which was covered in black armor. Black lightning formed on his palm and it spread out like a spider web.

The remaining attack of the A-rank experts landed on the lightning web creating powerful shockwaves. Then, Souta closed his hand and the skills of the A-rank experts disappeared.

Swoosh!!

Amanda and Yenxa didn't know what's happening as they used their parasites to protect their ears and eyes. They just felt an enormous amount of energy erupted in front of them.

Souta arrived in front of the young man who casted the skill.

"H-How...?" The young man looked at him with fear in his eyes.

The two S-rank experts quickly move their bodies with unbelievable speed. They were going to try to save the young man but how could Souta let them save the young man.

Souta's mouth crack widely revealing rows of razor sharp teeth. Black vapor came out of his mouth and it made him look terrifying.

The young man wanted to move away but he realized that his body was suppressed by a heavy gravitational field. He could only watch Souta's widely opened mouth.

Chomp!!

Souta closed his mouth and the upper body of the young man was gone. Blood flow down on the corner of his mouth as the lower body of the young man fell.

Thud!
