Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

59th Floor

“Gwaaahhh!!!”

Hundreds of monsters are surrounding me on this arid terrain, furiously baring their fangs and claws towards the intruder.

But no matter how much effort they exert, they could mark a scratch on an obstacle that is stopping their advances toward me.

“He he. They don’t know they are like bugs caught in a spider’s web.”

I am just standing at the center of my three-meter-radius spherical Anti-Physical Barrier, letting the influx of monsters cluster around the area where I am.

“Okay, this many is enough.”

I waited for several minutes until the number of monsters surrounding me reached two hundred. That is the time for me to take offense.

I raised a finger and pointed it towards the dungeon sky, then channeled a large amount of mana onto the space above my finger. A glowing ball of cinnabar hue the size of a basketball was called fourth.

But before I released my magic, I activated the unique skill Discriminator and marked all the monsters as my targets for the spell. Once everything’s ready, I unleash the magic that will end the lives of these pitiful monsters.

“Level 10 Rays of Demise.”

The ball of cinnabar burst and became hundreds of rays of light of the same color that flew in specific directions at the speed of light.

Each ray of light flew straight towards each of the monsters in the vicinity, targeting their hearts for an instant kill. Cries of agony and misery resonated through this dungeon floor, tasting the last pain of their lives.

The monsters made a symphonic round of applause as their bodies were sequentially collapsing on the sand. A moment later, a sea of corpses was created by the art of my Compound Magic spell, Rays of Demise.

Rays of Demise is a combination of Fire and Light Magic. This is my original spell that I developed using the concept of radioactive energy.

The ball before was actually condensed with x-ray radiation, containing the scorching heat of hundreds of thousands of degrees up to the million.

The ball will then burst like a water balloon, firing concentrated laser beams in all directions. The heat of each ray is more than enough to disintegrate almost everything it hits into ash.

Initially, the rays were shot at random and didn’t stop until they hit something. Due to that reason, I need the assistance of the Discriminator unique skill for the perfection of each projectile.

The Discriminator was acquired because of the repetitions of my usage of the Omnidirectional Perception, which I used to narrow down and specify the targets of my AOE attacks.

Discriminator unique skill is a skill that categorically classifies individuals in a certain range. The individuals could be marked as enemy or ally, then lay out their corresponding effects.

If an individual is an enemy, my attacks are only effective against that individual, while the allies gain no damage from my and the other allies’ attacks. 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ

If war ever comes, the Discriminator unique skill is a very useful and convenient one since the allies do not have to worry about something like friendly fire.

Without the assistance of the Discriminator, the laser beams would have been firing in all directions, including at myself. I am not tough enough to tolerate that level of heat.

Setting that aside…

<Experience fulfilled. You leveled up by 1.>

Well, I am here on the 59th Floor to farm experience points and level up. Killing them one by one is a bit of a hassle, so I am killing them in one blow.

This is the seventeenth wave of monsters that I have annihilated this afternoon. I estimated that I had slain over three thousand monsters.

I got hyped up at the thought of gaining new ultimate skills after evolution and started annihilating the monsters of the desert floors. I have been switching floors when a floor cannot keep up with my pace.

I gained a level per wave and have leveled thirteen levels so far. As of now, I am at Level 995 and only need five levels before I can finally evolve! A dream that I have to persevere with for a long time.

Even though I had acquired the Longevity skill from my mothers’ part via Organic Domination and completed the mission my sister had assigned to me, I truly wanted to move my Longevity from the extra skill section to the racial. I wanted an evident token of my own effort.

“Now then…” I muttered, then glanced at the new wave of monsters on the horizon of the desert. “Become my stepping stones for my new self.”

◆◇◆◇◆◇

“Sigh…”

I let out a sigh as I sat with my legs crossed on the sands in boredom, waiting for the monsters to congregate in my location. There are still around a hundred sentients trying to attack me, which isn’t enough to fulfill a level requirement.

The monsters keep coming to my location as they hear the commotion of the monsters here. The dungeon’s inhabitants probably have their minds set to indiscriminately attack any intruders.

A few waves had been cleared by my AOE spells since then. Each of the monsters has sheer individual power, and there are hundreds of them. But they were easily killed by my Level 10 spells.

As I am watching the wasted efforts of the monsters on the other side of the barrier, I receive a call from Azrael.

“Hello, Azrael. What’s up… What?!”

I cannot help but be flabbergasted by the things that Azrael told me after I stood up from my sitting position.

The call was about the matter that I encountered and settled a few months ago. I was expecting to receive that kind of news, but I did not expect it to be at this time.

He is currently on the plain just above the dungeon. Dungeons are supposed to be completely isolated from the world, but we were able to communicate despite the dimensional barriers.

That’s because we are communicating via my wished-for ability.

My unique skill, “Computerized Mind,” is a power that allows me to surf the internet of the other world, a place that is situated on a totally different plane.

Since it could bypass universal distances, it would make sense if we could communicate while he is outside of the dungeon’s jurisdiction.

The contents of the message are urgent for us. I did not waste time and finished my unfinished business.

“Okay. Level 10 Rays of Demise.”

Upon unleashing the hundreds of scorching death rays, a pile of more than a hundred dead monster corpses unfolded once the sands and dust subsided.

Black disks appeared beneath the corpses and were untraceably swallowed by them in a matter of seconds.

“I didn’t gain enough EXP, huh? Well, I can just finish it later.”

Unsatisfied, I left the desert and went to the entrance of the dungeon on the first floor.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

I immediately cancelled my hunting and went to the plain after I received a call from Azrael. I gravely postponed my evolution to look after the matter; this is how urgent that matter is to me.

“I am here.”

After passing the dungeon gate, I instantly teleported myself to the location of Azrael, who is five kilometers away from the gate.

“You are here, SirBoss.”

“Skwah.”

Azrael greets me as I appear behind him. But Azrael is not alone; Griffith is also beside him. She is as majestic and sweet as always.

Speaking of Griffith, she improved so much after I met and battled her. My sister and I are not the only ones who are benefiting from the advantages of the dungeon; Griffith joined in massacring the monsters as well.

It’s been almost a year since I met Griffith. Through the year, she occasionally participates in the hunting for herself to make herself stronger. Right now, Griffith is at Level 800s already.

One of the reasons I let her join the hunt, aside from making my pet more powerful, was to grasp the potential of her race. In other words, I will keep her level up until she evolves.

There was no record of an evolved griffon on this continent, and I am genuinely curious what lies beyond the scope of her kind. Nothing has happened to her yet, but as long as there is life, there is hope.

When I acquired the ultra-skill Ultimate Combination earlier, an idea popped into my mind. Last night, I copied Godspeed, Mother’s unique skill.

But what if I were to fuse the Godspeed with another speed-related skill like the unique skill, Hypersonic, of Griffith?

I took a glance at her for a while and thought to myself.

(Should I do that in order to copy her skill?)

I vigorously shook my head and immediately brushed off that thought. I cannot just imagine myself doing it with Griffith. I am not even a furry, or an avian?

“Ho ho. I know what you are thinking, SirBoss.”

“Please drop it already.”

“If that’s what you wish.”

“Skwah?”

“It’s nothing, Griffith. Don’t mind it.”

Azrael had the same thoughts as me and sensed what I was thinking about. Griffith tilted her head and crowed, seeing me and Azrael talking about something she had no idea about.

Logging off this nonsense, I turned the attention in front of us. Aside from Azrael and Griffith, there are some other presences at our location.

“Now then…” I said, then glanced at the ones that visited us today. “…it seems you have returned, huh?”

“Kyuu!”

“And you brought a companion with you.”

In front of us, the vixen whom I had helped before had returned, bringing a big fox with her.
