50 Chapter 49 (2/2)
While Leon was thinking about that, the most troublesome enemy of that cave started to annoy him. He thought that the tropical climate was annoying, but it indeed was nothing in front of the wrath of the cold. Leon grabbed a few pieces of Frozen Dire Wolf's leather and put it around himself. His body became heavy thanks to it, but that much was fine. Even though usually, he would use that chance to train that skill, the cold was too annoying.
”Geez, the man who killed hundred of megalodons can't stand the cold, huh?” Ren chuckled.
”Humans can accomplish a lot of things with the right mindset,” Leon explained. ”That is even truer now that we can use magic, but in the end, we all are still just humans.”
Ren nodded seriously after understanding the meaning of Leon's message; he could see the endless potential of magic and spells. Still, everything was over once their hearts stop beating, or their brains stop working unless Ren and his soldiers understand that early on, they would die an early death due to arrogance. Ren didn't seem the type of person who would be fazed by power, but you never know…
After finding several bifurcations and dead-ends, Leon felt like they were about to find the end of the dungeon. That mountain wasn't that big, and even though they were just walking, Leon couldn't imagine himself and the others taking days to clear the dungeon.
”By the way,” Leon frowned. ”How do we prove that we cleared a dungeon?”
”Usually, we find a boss protecting the crystal connecting the two worlds,” Ren explained. ”So, we just have to bring the boss's head to the manager.”
”And when that is not the case?” Leon asked.
”We have to go to the other world, kill a boss, and bring its head…” Ren answered with a pale face.
That was kind of dangerous, until now, the monsters only charged forward recklessly. Although Leon could easily kill them, things would certainly be different with the boss. Frozen Dire Wolves were much stronger than slimes, and a monster boss of that species would certainly be much stronger than the big slimes. It was even possible that it could use magic, so Leon decided a plan of action in case he finds one. His plan of action was to attack mercilessly.
Although Ren imagined that they would have to explore that dungeon for several days, at noon, they found the purple crystal. The map of the dungeon wasn't complete, but they could do that later. Their stock of Frozen Dire Wolf hide was almost too heavy for them to carry, so perhaps they would to do that other day.
Unfortunately, the boss was nowhere to be seen. So Ren and the others began to show complicated expressions since they leveled up their accuracy a lot and put the free status points in intelligence, now they had the power to kill a single Frozen Dire Wolf. However, each person had to hit the monsters two times. So, they barely had the power to kill a single ordinary Frozen Dire Wolf. Against the evolved version of that creature, they had no chance.
