The dragon has finished charging its exponentially enhanced Dragon st and unleashed an obviouslyrger beam of light with a width of a hundred meters.


    The weakened fox didn''t try to step aside and evade; she just let the light swallow her. But instead of being disintegrated by the beam, she didn''t feel hurt at all.


    She initially thought that her pain nerves had been destroyed by the Dragon st, but she eventually realized she was really safe and unharmed.


    She slowly opened her eyes, and the figure of her savior is standing in front of her. Opening his life palm as if stopping the ray of destruction.


    The fox noticed that he was quite different from before. So his n has seeded, she thought, perceiving the changes in him.


    "Are you okay, madam?" He asked, turning his attention to her. She felt delightful, pointing out that he was not a mere near death hallucination.


    ((Thank you, Mr. Raphael. You have saved my life again.)) She replied as she was closing her eyes.


    "Thanks goodness." Raphael smiled. "I am d I made it in time."


    As soon as he said that, the lights vanished; the Dragon st hade to an end. The cmitous oue of the dragon''s attack eventually revealed itself.


    Scorched earth unfolded in front of them. All the trees along the way were reduced to ashes. Behind them were two parallel ck trenches that reached kilometers from the unblocked area of the Dragon st.


    "SO YOU FINALLY CAME." The dragon spoke upon seeing the appearance of a certain human. "I HAD BEEN EXPECTING YOU TO SAVE THAT FOX."


    Raphael had gone for quite a time, the dragon had thought there was a usible reason for that. But the dragon didn''t expect him to grow that much during that period of time.


    The dragon may have no stat-seeking ability, but it can feel the changes in him. The ck one felt that his power increased by about fifty percentpared to when they fought.


    Furthermore, his body had gone through massive changes. Thest time the dragon sniffed him, he smelled like a lowly Dragon, but now they shared the same aroma.


    In other words, the dragon sensed an Ancient Dragon''s blood running through his veins. The dragon had no idea how he made his blood like its own, but fighting a being akin to an Ancient Dragon would be a problem for the dragon.


    The imusibly fast growth and unnatural changes of Raphael had made the dragon raise its awareness toward him. But the dragon''s humiliation caused by him overwhelmed its cautiousness.


    "I DON''T KNOW WHAT YOU DID, BUT IT WILL NOT GONNA WORK AGAINST ME."


    Without hesitation, the dragon then used Wing st to propel itself toward the human, tracing the burned pathway that it had just made.


    Once Raphael lunged himself at the dragon, the out of the ordinary fight between a human and a dragon has begun.


    ◆◇◆◇◆◇


    Earlier. 59th Floor of the dungeon.


    With my current strength, even with the help of a powerful Celestial Fox, defeating the Ancient Dragon of Darkness is virtually impossible. That is why I am in the dungeon for that reason.


    "Hm. Let''s assist her a bit." I muttered, then cast Area High Heal upon the seriously battered fox, who was in the live feed in front of me.


    As I am waiting for the monsters to condense around me, I am watching the fight between the silver fox and the ck dragon. There''s nothing I could describe about their battle but Titanic, a literal Kaiju fight.


    A few secondster, the head count of the monster had reached a certain point.


    "Rays of Demise."


    About a hundred orange rays of light were released from a burst orb of the same hue and scattered throughout this floor of the dungeon.


    All of the rays precisely pierced through the monster''s vital points, causing their deaths. In a matter of seconds, a hundred monsters around me uniformly lost their lives and copsed on the ground.


    "Phew."


    Like I stated before, I am inside the dungeon for a certain reason.


    <Experience fulfilled. You leveled up by 1.>


    If my current strength cannot defeat the dragon, I will have to step up. Killing these monsters was the way for me to level up and evolve. Even though I had killed hundreds after leveling up to Level 999, it was enough.


    That was why I told the fox queen to upy the dragon while I am in the dungeon. Even though we don''t know if my evolving would help us ovee the dragon, we decided to gamble and take the risk.


    Certainly, evolution by itself makes me stronger and more powerful than before. Moreover, evolving to a higher existence is certainly necessary for me to gain ess to more ultimate powers.


    <The required conditions have been met. The host''s evolution from Human to High Human will now begin.>


    (So there''s no B button, huh?) I pondered, but failed to find a cancetion like in a certain monster game. But even if there''s something like that, it would be stupid of me to press it.


    "Ugh—?! Could this be the evolution—?!"


    Seconds after the announcement, my body suddenly felt very ufortable and heavy, to the point that I dropped my knees and palms on the desert sand.


    If there are growth pains upon growing up and sore muscles after an intensive workout, souls could experience pain oncemencing huge stat growth such as an evolution.


    (It''s too dangerous to stay here in this condition; better to warp up.)


    If I were to copse here on this Floor, monsters would beat me up. After I silently cast Warp, my vision instantly changed from sand to the grass of a Safe Area.


    "Ahh..."


    My eyes are very heavy, and my mind is enveloped by irresistible dizziness. If this were to continue, I might lose consciousness and be rendered dormant.


    The moment I touched some grass, I immediately gave up exerting strength to my body and powerless copsed on the ground, hoping for my fast abraid.
