Chapter 45

Seeing all that destructive power, not being able to fight directly with the monster thanks to that strange water and knowing that his shadows would not be able to kill him Hye decided to leave to try to find a way to fight with that monster that most likely is the boss of the dungeon .

After deciding what to do, Hye entered the forest with the hope of finding more monsters that could enter that strange water that freezes almost everything that touches. After walking for a few minutes Hye was apparently in the middle of the forest, in a large, open circle, but surrounded by trees on all sides.

In the center of that circle Hye saw some monsters just like the ones he killed earlier, and some like bears fighting and the surrounding monsters that were fighting was full of bodies from both races of monsters. With all that Hye saw this as an opportunity to easily get more shadows to try to kill that monster in the waters. As the monsters were fighting with various bodies around Hye found it easier to make those who were dead turn into shadows and fight the others.

But Hye had forgotten that his mana was over, so when he sent his new shadows to fight the other monsters three of his 17 new shadows were destroyed by bears.

[No More Mana]

[3 Shadows Have Been Permanently Destroyed]

[The next shadows that have been destroyed have not returned]

After reading these messages from the Hye system he sent his shadows back and he went to finish the fight himself. Without anyone else watching over him, Hye could finally loosen up a little at that moment. Hye was using his own hands to see if the fight lasted longer. Still testing the possibilities of his powers Hye used fire just like when he does the daggers but now directly in his hands.

'Hun? I thought it would hurt a little but it just gave a warm feeling of comfort. Much like when I'm sleeping with Mina by the way. 'Thought Hye describing the feeling that putting the fire using the skill in his hands caused.

After using the ability as he wanted, he punched several high speeds in the direction of the monsters. And even though he was far away and his real intention was to see if the flames would go out if he moved at a very high speed, when he finished testing that, and look forward to hoping to have some fun with the fight he sees all monsters lying on the ground with several holes in their bodies coming out of smoke.

[Total Mana: 30k]

Impressed by what only the punches in the air did, but saddened that he basically hadn't even fought Hye called his shadows that he hadn't yet named back and invoked his new shadows to be named as well. And just as before the shadows were named with numbers now from 8 to 40 which was the total of shadows that he would have achieved only in that place.

"Why don't we have names, my lord?" he asked the shadows of the Lestrigões and the Hydra.

Hye didn't know why he couldn't name those four shadows so he called Hydra and tried to name it.

[Do you want to name your shadow?]

"Yea!"

[Choose A Name!]

"... Leslie."

[Your Shadow Has Been Named!]

When Leslie was nominated she underwent some changes before she was apparently just a small Hydra since when she was nominated she grew twice her size, before with 8 heads and now with 16 and each head had something like a crystal of different colors in the center. The two in the middle with crystals that did not have an exact color since apparently they were always changing color, the seven on the left end had one with the color blue, red, red, blue, white, red and white successively. And the other seven on the right end had the same colors in the same order but looking at the crystals for some reason they looked brighter than those on the left. In addition, he also had a large blue crystal in the shape of a triangle on his chest.

[His Hydra Evolved Into: Legendary Hydra!]

[The Legendary Hydra and the Most Powerful Hydra Regardless of Age!]

[Big Mana Loss!]

[Remaining Mana: 20k]

[You can only name two more shadows of that level!]

Since to name each shadow Hye would spend 10k of mana it would give him to name only two more shadows on the same level as the Hydra. So he called two of the Lestrigões so that he could name them.

[Do you want to name your shadows?]

"…Yea"

[Choose Two Names!]

"Itzal and Amon."

[Their Shadows Were Named!]

When the Lestrigões were named as well as the Hydra they also changed one with a red crystal on the forehead and chest and the other with a blue crystal, also on the forehead and in the middle of the chest. They also won something like an armor around his body that had also grown much larger, almost twice the size of the previous one.

[Your Lestrigões have evolved into Warrior Lestrigões!]

[Big Mana Loss!]

[Remaining Mana: 10k]

[You can name only two more shadows of that level!]

With those messages that appeared in the system Hye saw that apparently the Lestrigões were weaker than the Hydra, since less mana was used to name them. And thinking that to name the last of the Lestrigões he would spend the same amount of mana as the other two Hye decided that he would also name him.

[Do you want to name your shadow?]

"Yea!"

[Choose A Name!]

"… Zilá!"

[Your Shadow Has Been Named!]

That shadow was a little different from the other Lestrigões. It was bigger, with more armor around its body and with a cloak that came from its shoulders and passed from its feet, leaving a little dragging on the floor. And the crystals were three, one blue in his right hand, one red in the center of his forehead and one green in his chest. The chest one being the biggest of all.

[His Shadow Evolved Into Lestrigão General!]

[Big Mana Loss!]

[Remaining Mana: 0]

As Hye had already seen the appearance of the last shadow to be different from the previous two, he also hoped that the number of mana spent would be different. But now with the shadows at different levels, it was time to choose a leader. As Leslie was the only Hydra, she had no reason why or how to choose a leader. Among the penguins everyone was the same, so Hye chose to wait and see if any different ones would appear among the other monsters in the dungeon, and so it was with the bears. Among the Lestrigões, it was clear that Zilá would be the leader. After that Hye sent all the shadows back.

"As you wish, my lord!" all the shadows spoke as they bowed to Hye and went back one by one into his shadow.

A few seconds after the shadows returned to Hye, he heard the sound of a sword apparently coming from somewhere in the trees. He followed the noise and was a little doubtful about what he was seeing.
