A new life

Part 18

Hello all and welcome back to my story. I hope you all enjoy, thank you for reading.

Sung Jin woo POV

After entering the dungeon we were greeted by hordes of high ranked mana beasts that radiated an inconceivable killing intent. I sighed at the this tedious activity and watched both Alea and the blond haired Lance getting into their fighting stances and imbue their mana into their weapons. Due to the fact that I had never seen Alea fight before, so I was curious about her abilities and how well she could hold against monsters. Naturally she didn't disappoint me as she cut through them with ease, but I did notice that her technique was too flashy and less practical. In a fight with a true expert who held the proper skills and experience, unless a miracle occurred, she would lose quickly.

I noticed that the blond haired Lance didn't have this flaw though, a testament to his combat experience and his climb to the top. This made me change my thinking towards him and slowly start to acknowledge his abilities, albeit nothing compared with mine or my army's. I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw a dozen monsters running towards with saliva dripping from their mouths, it disgusted me as they for one thought that I was prey, and they reminded me of a certain cowardly wolf. I covered my hands in pure mana and slashed towards the dozen of monsters, causing the ambient mana to tremble fiercely as this attack went straight through their vital points, killing them instantly.

I moved forward and split my focus, on one side I was fighting the various monsters, and on the other side I was watching them both fight and internally commenting on their styles. From what I observed I deduced that the blond haired Lance was more adept at aggressive fighting that created destruction, and Alea used her sword techniques to cut down her enemies fast, but in a flashy way. This would prove difficult if she met an enemy that fought at high speeds as her technique had lots of flaws that made her look like a novice compared to high level beings. Although this was the case her technique and level of power could be considered to be unrivalled on this planet, and in some cases could match the warriors of other races on other planets.

As I continued with my internal conversation we combed through the dungeon with ease due to the fact that although these were high level monsters, they weren't much to us. They progressively got stronger though as we moved further and further through the dungeon as it seemed to have gone on for a while underground. Between the time from arriving here I could tell it had been around two hours, and we hadn't even made it to the lower levels yet, but I couldn't complain as if I released my full powers here I could effectively clear this dungeon in a second. Though that was the case, I will continue playing along with their plan, and how they said that we would be here for at least a few days.

I sighed at the thought of spending the next few days in this dark and dreary place, but at least it wasn't as bad as the chaos world. We continued throughout the dungeon until we reached a hole that led to the lower levels and we took up camp there for the night. Thankfully the night passed without any issues as I was too irritated to handle any more monsters. As morning came I sat on the edge of the hole and peered down it and expended my spiritual sense to see what else was down there. I saw that there were huge waves of monsters down there, from weak to a bit stronger, gathered and guarding the entrance to the hole in the ground.

"Morning" I heard Alea behind me. I turned to see her yawn and stretch as she made her way to me.

"Hello" I said smiling.

"Seems like we have another full day of monster hunting" she said with a sigh and peered down into the hole.

"If I could just do it myself, I'd be done in a few seconds" I said with an irritable sigh.

"I doubt that would be a good idea" she said motioning towards the blond haired Lance.

"I know" I said dejected. I got up off of the floor and directed some mana into both of us to clean us. We sat around and waited for another few minutes until we saw the blond haired Lance wake up. After another few minutes we were all ready and descended into the lower parts of the dungeon to be met with thousands of bloodthirsty monsters.
