It was a dimly lit room with various strings attached to the sides of the room.
In the middle of a room is a makeshift bed and on the bed sat a sole figure. Aurva can clearly outline the person. They had a lean yet muscular figures. It has dark skin, dark blue hair and blue eyes.
"So you are the first challenger that dares to disrupt my sleep?" He asked, in a calm tone with a stoic face. 'That's some emotional mastery.' Aurva thought. He moved to the single bright spot in the room to reveal himself.
From his forehead, protruded a single white horn and a blue eye shadow on his lower eyelids. His skin also had a bluish tint which made his look overall greyish. From the corners of his mouth, two white canines peek out, which makes him look more ominous.
His hair was straight and of medium length, where his bangs covered his right eye. His clothing is tight-fitting, possibly due to his fighting style relying on speed and agility. All these are noted and calculations are made to defeat him.
'Observe,' he thought. The blue screen that appeared in front of him surprised him.

'Damn, those are some good stats he has.' Aurva thought.
"Let's see what you are capable of, intruder," Sol said, charging toward Aurva. Aurva went on guard as the monster's speed was very high and charged Arondight. As all monsters are considered Dark creatures, they have an inherent weakness to light.
"A Holy Sword eh? You are well prepared." Sol said with an impressed smile. Aurva saw some white light form on Sol's hand and instinctively created a holy attack.
"Prediction? Can you foresee my attack?" Sol asked, though there was no surprise as a string launched towards Aurva and latched to Arondight. Aurva raised an eyebrow at that.
"Interesting. It's not one of those puny holy swords. This is good." He said and before Aurva could understand, holy energy started leaking from Arondight into the string and Sol's body. Aurva's eyes bulged in shock at that.
"Surprised? I hope so. Because I'm not a normal demon, you miscreant. You'll see why you shouldn't have fallen through the trap." Sol said with a smug smile and Aurva saw his magic levels decrease.
He acted and released a large holy blast toward Sol, who was still savouring the taste of holy magic. "Outraged?" He said with an impassive voice and vanished from the place.
"Aurva, use the Boosted Gear. You can't defeat him like this." Ddraig said in urgency. He can feel the massive power gap between the 2 of them from Paradise.
"Shut up. Do you want me to reveal myself to Vali if it was like this? I have more than enough skills to use. Life DRAIN!" Aurva roared and a purplish black mist started to cover their surroundings.
The dimly lit area was overwhelmed by the volume of life-draining energy and got drained in an instant. Everything that surrounded the area- trees and monsters alike was drained of every bit of its life, not even the skeleton and bones remained.
Report.
Life Drain is complete. 5 LDF(Life Drain Factor) have been stored for use. The system replied and Aurva smirked. He doesn't know what that LDF meant, but he had this satisfaction that made him smile. It's as if the hungry predator broke the fast.
"Now let's see what this life drain gave me." Aurva laughed maniacally as he charged toward a confused Sol. Though he escaped from the sucking energy, it left this foreign feeling in him he didn't like. So he attacked with renewed vigour.
With Elena
"Annihilation Type," the demon said, crouching into a low position. Elena's Gravity Armour was still active, but it seems the demon is accustomed to it now and so he attacked.
Instead of releasing his shockwaves, he preserved them till he reached her and as soon as he reached her, he channelled all the force into them, making them more deadly.
It was strong enough to break Elena's concentration with the number of tremors it was causing, thus breaking the Gravity Armour. "Heh, heh, heh. I thought it was fun." He said with a happy smile as Elena was thrown back into the far wall with a sickening crush, which broke the wall.
Her heart started beating faster with fear and thus increased her manipulation capabilities. Unknown to her, Aurva applied Ddraig's seal on her gave magic to it as it sensed her dwindling reserves, resulting in a very violently shaking floor with an unhappy demon.
"You think you can mock me in my lair? I'll kill YOU!" He shouted and lunged towards her with his hands glowing with shock waves.
"Collapse,"
"Disorder, Breakdown,"
"Eight-Layered Destruction,"
"Crushing Type: Ten Thousand Leaves,"
"Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow," he unleashed, each attack damaging the floor even further. Elena couldn't care less about all these shockwaves as her mind only concentrated on one thing.
"Will you be with me at the top, Elena?" Are the only sentence she heard throughout all the explanations from her lord and she wanted to be with him at the top. And with that determination, she released her mast attack.
"Gravity Manipulation: Planetary Collapse," she called and the effect gravity magic had on the area intensified, all the shockwaves adding to the magic and the room suddenly collapsed.
With Aurva
KKKKKAAAASSSSSHHHHHHBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMNMMMM!
Level 10 collapsed with Levels 11,12, 13, and 14 following some adverse effects. The Hell Labyrinth is going to be repaired till Level 20. The system said.
'The hell. Did they cause that much damage that the labyrinth itself collapsed?' Thought Aurva in surprise.
"Did those 2 manage to destroy a complete floor of the labyrinth?" Ddraig asked.
"Maybe. But these 2 are relentless." Aurva sighed. The effects of Life Drain are slowly waiving off him and the destruction he caused was still in front of him.
As soon as the drain was complete, he used the gained extra 5 LDF to attack Sol and the damage was staggering. The Ogre simply couldn't withstand the holy attacks Arondight was releasing and so he called a second one from somewhere.
When he used observe, the newcomers' stats Aurva chilled him to his bones.
Name: Blitz
Age: -
Title: Flare Lord
Race: Kijin
Job: Lvl 50 Boss
Level: Lvl 71 (47.69%)
HP: 100,000/100,000
MP: 33000/33000
STR: 207
VIT: 178

He is a tall, burly man with flame-like slightly wavy crimson hair from which two large jet-black horns protruded. He has a pair of iconic tear-like red markings that flow down from the bottom of his eyes over his cheeks, which persists throughout all his evolutions.
His eyes are incredibly sharp and fierce-looking and have orange-red irises. He wore black clothing with a thick woollen collar, covered by red and gold armour and carried a Japanese-style katana.
'What in the fucking hell was this? Who is this guy and what are his stats?' Aurva screamed in his mind. He didn't know what to do seeing such insane stats.
Gamer's Mind suppressed Panic attack. The system responded, giving a soothing feeling to Aurva.
"Guess I don't have a choice in this. BOOSTED GEAR!" Aurva called and the red gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor encased his left hand with a 'Boost' from Ddraig.
"Look at that. It's the host of the Red Dragon Emperor. You just made this interesting, Red Dragon Emperor." Blitz said as he took his katana out.
"Let's see who will win!" Aurva said and charged holy magic in Arondight. He forgot the extent of Holy energy he was using in it and with the additional Boost, the amount supplied to Arondight only increased.
"Yes, drink as much as you want. But we are making out alive." Aurva said and took Blitz's attack head-on. The shock waves caused tremors across the floor and broke many walls blocking the room from the rest of the floor.
He saw Sol attacking from behind and with strings forming a web in his hands. As the Web reached him, he dodged the attack, but it managed to make a small cut on him.
-178 HP
'That attack took 178 HP? Damn these 2 are monsters. Wait a min, I can use your fire, right? Dumb me,' Aurva thought happily and when he was about to use it, he remembered why he came here and gritted his teeth.
"DAMN IT!" He screamed at the top of his lungs as using Holy Magic is pushing his limits and so he stared at Sol and Blitz in fury, channelling his frustration into his sword and magic.
He can't keep this up. He can't imagine what these 2 will do to Elena if they reach her and he can't imagine which condition she was in as his clone was caught in the crossfire and got dispelled.
He can't let them escape this battle alive but the gap between them was phenomenal. Even now, with the help of all 10 Boosts, he was not about to scratch the new guy.
Sol was kept at bay, only supporting Blitz when need be while Aurva faced the full might of the Flare Lord and even in all this, Aurva was able to appreciate the man's power and title as Flare Lord by his Power.
All these feelings got to him and the System didn't interfere this time to stop him and soon they started seeping into Arondight, which was already on the brink with Holy Magic.
"He is furious for some reason," Sol observed.
"Maybe because of his helplessness," Blitz said with a smirk.
"We 2 didn't combo attack anyone till now after all."
"I'm gonna kill you!" Aurva said and a purple glow started to form around the gold Holy magic Arondight had and as it neared them, Sol and Blitz observed something different about it.
The Boosted attacks they faced till now aren't as lethal as this one as they can feel a primal lust to kill from the sword itself apart from the Human in front of them. They were surprised but prepared for the attack.
Sol readied his strings while Blitz flared blue fire around him, which started to decay the surrounding area. As Aurva approached, the sounds of Boosts increased as if there was no upper limit to the man's strength.
BOOST! Ddraig shouted and then it happened. The area was engulfed in a bright golden aura, filled to the brink with Holy magic and Sol's and Blitz's attacks seem useless in front of the radiant aura.
Report.
Level 30 has sustained major damage.
Report.
Level 30s reconstruction is underway.
Rep-
"ShUt uP!" Aurva screamed and the voice was shut in an instant as if something primal feared it and the reporting of the floor stopped immediately.
Report.
The user Aurva has Peaked.
"DiE, yOu WoRtHlEsS DeMoNs," he said and released the charged-up attack. Sol and Blitz were knocked out by the sheer intensity of the light and before they can escape, they got vaporised by the holy attack.
Report.
The Labyrinth has shattered till level 50. Executing Lockdown for emergency repairs. The System said and teleported Aurva and Elena to the safe area in level 1 and started repairing the labyrinth.
'What rage. I should have known he had this capacity. Congratulations, partner.' Ddraig thought in pride as he went to a nap as Aurva drained a lot of his magic in the last fight.
