CHAPTER05:THE DEMON AT 80 FLOOR

"flame release"

Scorching crimson flames started coming from Ryuji from all sides and burned everything to ashes. There's a C-rank demon looking at him with his sharp eyes with killing intent; he suddenly feels a chill run down his back. When he turns, his eyes meet the demon's sharp eyes. Ryuji takes two steps back, his face showing fear and helplessness the demon standing in front of him is a B-rank monster. He turns and starts darting towards the dungeon to escape. The demon notices and runs after him, but he is enveloped in spatial forces. If he doesn't escape this spatial disturbance around him, he is as good as dead. The demon tries several times to escape but can't. After few more attempts he gives up resisting instantly; his neck got chopped off his body with the gleaming blade in ryuji's hand

Ryuji starts eating food and prepares to leave. While leaving, he sees a short black sword lying nearby and sees it's an unnamed weapon with black chants on it.

 his status panel shows up

a black metal chokuto (spirit sword)

Name:....

A name, ha! this sword gives a majestic vibe , so something like

"Akujiki," which mean evil eater or devourer," perfectly suits your aura, buddy the sword trembles, like it is excited

Ryuji: "So let's get going to the next floor then. you go in my personal space

the black sword trembles. "rrrr"

Ryuji: yoy don't want to go , buddy you look like something important and i'm worried ,I might leave you somewhere

"rrrrrr," ok so off to the next floor then

After several days off hard work, he is standing in front of the 87th floor

Ryuji: "So this is the last floor; let's get this over with."

he enters the room; there's an A-rank (10-stage) demon. sitting on the throne on a big throne

the demon: "it's ben decades for a human come to my lair. i have been feeling lonely lately

the demon: "Wait, where are you going?"

Ryuji: "to the next floor."

the demon: "wait a minute first. If you want go to the next floor , shouldn't you be defeating me first 

Ryuji: "is something wrong with your head? There's no rule that you can't leave with a door crystal without defeating the boss

the demon: "but i have the crystal, so what are you ,going to do now, ha?"

Ryuji: "you are really behaving like a kid seeing a new toy, but whatever, here, take this 

the whole room got filled with smoke, and the exit door opened and then shut again. After , the smoke disappeared, the coughing demon said ,he was a sharp kid taking advantage of my loneliness.

ryuji after getting out of the room says that demon was really bored; he really didn't had any malice towards me

Ryuji: "but how do i get out of this labyrinth? this path is leading the next floor, but don't books in the academy says there are 87 floor in this labyrinth Shit, i forgot 1 important detail: 87 floors have been the only floors yet cleared by us till now, he says, so this doesn't signify the number of floors in this labyrinth,i don't have any food left in my space. should i go back and collect some food? No way. I've come this far; i can't just go back. i have to get out of this place. I'll find some monsters on the path to the next floor

he moves to the next floor with new found dtermination,after a long while, he hears beasts growling. he steps out of the cave and lunges at the nearest beast. It is a demonic beast. What? There are no beasts here. all the beast are demonic and A rank, he says so this is the reason why it is said there are only 87 floors; this floor is impossible to get out unscathed

the bear munching on rabbit sees him coming; it lunges straight at Ryuji. Ryuji gets stabbed by the gleaming, sharp fangs of the demonic bear. yuji is wearing a face of horror because until now no demon was able to injure him, but now he has a gashing wound on his abdomen. He starts sprinting towards a rock; after getting behind the rock, he faints. After several days, he wakes up his wound is not properly healed but it has stopped bleeding

Ryuji: "what will i do now? this wound can't be healed with holy water, and my body also got infected by a demons fangs,i have to find something to eat; i feel like I have not eaten for months. this injury is taking a toll on me. i have to eat something and fast."

he says with a determined face, i will survive this labyrinth and make everyone know ,i'm not weak. there are still those demonic rabbits looking for food. Those must be weaker; i can just eat them. He fires a fireball at one of the rabbits; it deftly evades the fireball and jumps into the air and starts jumping in the air and fires a purple lightning bolt at Ryuji. dodges the lightning and says, "what is it using, quick step and Dark Lightning? So these beasts have demonic powers, ha. he goes after the rabbit; the rabbit jumps in the air and suddenly appears near ryuji and fires a dark lightning bolt at him. Ryuji gets paralyzed. a demonic bear grabs several rabbit heads and crushes them, then he starts eating them. after a while, it turns towards Ryuji. Ryuji is scared out of his wits. The bear slashes at Ryuji; he turns right, but his left hand gets chopped off, and the bear starts eating it. Ryuji runs from there behind rocks. After a while, when the bear left, ryuji comes at the spot and started by eating those dead rabbits killed by the bear. After taking several bites he starts groaning in pain and starts screaming, why does my body feel like it's tearing into shred and he faints after he wakes up, he feels like he is brimming with energy and strength and is taller and larger now.
