"J-jEKAAAHH!_ __" another wave of blood flooded out of his mouth as he was forced to run again but this time he was not fast enough to escape the explosion that struck from above decapitating the ground into dust.

The young man spun in the air before crashing on his side already out of breath and most relevant, out of Mana.

He rolled around quickly brushing off the hot charring sand from his face as quick as he could, "Hha_AHHHAKK.....Kahhh…!" He cried again already on his bottom.

He looked around to see his colleagues in the same condition as he was. On their sides writhing and screaming in terror.

The power gap between them and the boss of the room was far too great.

What were they? Common survivals that were just a bit past level ten.

Timothy who was the one in terror the most was simply at level thirteen and the floor had proven to be level twenty above.

*Clamp!*

Timothy held his breath involuntarily as the being that orchestrated such impudent disaster flew down to place it's white feet on the floor.

It had three toes on it's huge legs, a muscular build, a long type lizard tail twisting dangerously in the air, white skin, a bald face and monstrous features; enormous one eye, stone like face and mouths filled with rock like fangs.

"Hahahahahahaha! What very weak being you all turned out to be!" The boss Ratemogas laughed eminently, his greatness towering over theirs as the apex.

Even without any special feature they could pair their eyes into Ratemogas's system and stats, probably because he let them.

---

[Name: Ratemogas]

[Level: 43]

[Race: Demonic spirit]

[Title: Room keeper]

[Monster grade: Death grade]

---

And shit, just from seeing it turned their throat scorching as though it was a desert.

-

[Skills: Eye of paralysis Lv 8… regeneration Lv 12, Explosion Lv 6…]

-

Ratemogas streched his hands upwards in the air concentrating his power into it and forming a visible red orb that grew by the second until final reaching an enormous height that tore the courage of those that still had some.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Some of them chorused while others bluntly stared already knowing their fates were sealed.

Ratemogas relished the moment as much as he could before plummeting the enormous orb like energy down to the ground beneath him.

"Just as I predicted."

Not foreseeable the entire orb of concentrated Mana shattered into thousands of harmless flickering lights Jolting the sense out of Ratemogas.

"H-how? Is this even possible?" He was a bit lost of words and found it hard to comprehend this fact.

"Raw strength against probability is not a very good choice."

Ratemogas locked his eyes on the person that said this. A mere kid on his feet unmarred by the attack and standing so confidently in the open.

"A child dares to defy Ratemogas?" He proudly pronounced and the kid shook his head in bitterness.

"Let's get on with this," he was disinterested in his opponents strength or anything, Addressing his partner who stood opposite to Ratemogas.

Ratemogas spared a glimpse to his behind to see a man with short black hair, wearing a coat and holding a sword in his grasp, the Mana given off from his presence was most especially threatening.

"It's a Magus!" One of the wounded men shouted.

"How unbelievable, we are saved."

"Thank God! We are saved!"

One after the other they began to praise this fact and that made Ratemogas redden in rage.

A Magus was a human from the Safe zone with great strength that far surpasses others; a title awarded by the system to the five strongest in the Safe zone.

Especially someone above level Sixty.

This was the fourth of the five Magus___

"Dexter Jaseled."

Carlos too had gotten significant power boost over the few months as he trained himself as hard as he could, and leveled up till he got to forty, currently higher.

'That's why I consider this fight already won.'

Ratemogas broke into a fully fledged laughter at their spunk. "You really think you can__"

A crimson Sun scorching beam tore through the air and struck Ratemogas before he could complete his sentences throwing him into the air.

Before he could stabilize himself Dexter with his lightning fast legs was already upon him slashing his sword through his waist compartment up to his shoulder cutting his body into two halves.

His two halves twirled in the air before dropping down to the ground yards away.

'Shit! That was too fast!" Ratemogas introspected what occured at those very seconds. 'the kid copied my move and redirected it back to me at one focused point while the other guy cut through my armoured body like it was nothing...'

'This humans are troublesome.'

However a hybrid beast could not be easily killed.

At his command Ratemogas's body began to heal itself fleetingly, all his lost organs replacing themselves.

"Irritating humans your pride bores me."

Carlos glared coldly at him without saying a word before pulling from his scabbard a dark coloured knife, "why didn't you cut through his core at once?"

Dexter stared at his sword for a few seconds before shrugging, "sorry I only grazed it last time, but this time I won't."

'Look at how casual they estimate my death in this battle, am I even a threat to them?' Ratemogas growled boiling in rage before aiming his two hands at them and charging it up with dark green Mana.

"Uhm-uhnnnnn? This bastard has gotten so cocky!" Dexter waved his sword in the air before making a charging stance.

Ratemogas have a great battlecry aiming and firing an enormous beam out to them, the speed of the being was so incredible that it cracked the ground with wind pressure after passing above it.

Dexter replied with a greater speed that made Ratemogas narrow his eyes to catch up.

In an alternative to dodging Dexter only ran into the beam slashing it with his sword and as he did this it split into thousands of harmless lights in the air.

"I-impossible....." Ratemogas's jaw dropped bereft of replies and soon moves to defend himself.

Dexter got into range swinging strongly and running his sword through and out of Ratemogas's throat beheading him.

His head spun into the air although this was not the true objective.

Dexter narrowed his eyes into to stump at the throat and saw a glimmer of a transparent orb, 'The core.'

He raised his sword high overhead to bring it down on the orb when...

Ratemogas's entire body dilapidated like ice melting to water, urging Dexter to a stop. He recognized well enough who did it and probed his surroundings a bit in response.

Soon enough he heard Carlos mutter a word, "Skylar!"

Dexter turned around to see Carlos glare with so much bloodlust at Skylar who landed the final attack on the Hybrid.

He spreaded his hands open and turned to the survivals who praised him for saving them; as proud as always.

Dexter hated Skylar but not as much as Carlos did.

Carlos already at his peak decided to leave pacing angrily from the battlefield and grabbing on Dexter's shirt to go.

"Let's go." Without complaining he followed.

Skylar did not even bother to start a conversation with them he only walked to the men enthralled by his greatness and said, "Skylar the second strongest Magus is here."
