[Third Person POV],
If one was to look at Andrew Dawn surroundings, they would see a number of dragon corpses scattered around and if one had been able to view the fight between Andrew Dawn and the dragons that died, they'd be able to notice a few things about the dragons and even Andrew Dawn himself.
For one thing, the greatest similarity between these dragons was that they were all red dragons with their elements being the fire element.
Aside from this, there was also the part that starting from the first dragon, for every dragon defeated, the next one would be slightly bigger and stronger.
What made this even stranger was that it wasn't only the dragons that got stronger because Andrew Dawn also noticed that for every dragon defeated, the stronger he became as well.
He did not notice this at first until he had killed a few more dragons after the first one.
Andrew Dawn was also able to notice another thing about the dragons and that was that their strength appeared to be linked with their strength.
It was like the bigger they were, the stronger they were.
This finding too was also found out until he had killed more than a dozen dragons.
The first dragon he killed wasn't even ten percent of the dragon phantom size and was ridiculously weak even to Andrew Dawn.
It wasn't only the first dragons as the dragons that came after that for a while felt too weak to Andrew Dawn.
Of course they were only weak to Andrew Dawn as even the first dragon was a cut above Andrew Dawn's strongest subject in terms of power.
This was not a dragon phantom after all and was a real dragon with blood and flesh which was also odd in the sense that the battle with the dragons took place in this dream world of his that seemed illusionary as the dragon phantom.
In any case, Andrew Dawn did not have the time to ponder about these things as he was made to fight from the very beginning he woke up here.
Perhaps if he had time to focus on himself in the beginning, he'd have noticed a few changes in his body that could not be seen on the outside through his appearance.
"ROAR!!!!!"
"Hmmm"
"It seems to be getting close",
"I wonder how big this one would be", Andrew Dawn thought as the familiar energy that usually circulated a few seconds after killing a dragon moved throughout his body as his rough breathing slowed down and he appeared to have returned to his peak immediately.
After the circulating energy in his body stopped, he clenched his left fists as he felt his power once again increase.
"Although it's a hassle to fight these dragons in this damn unknown place, the feeling of visibly getting stronger is really not bad", Andrew Dawn said in a soft voice as he looked at his fist when a sudden loud sound attracted his attention.
BOOM!!!!
At some point when Andrew Dawn was looking at his fist, a red dragon bigger than the one he had just slayed fell from the sky as its large body made a sound akin to an explosion when it landed on the ground.
"Can't you dragons just change the way you make your entrance?"
"At least that'll make things more interesting!" Andrew Dawn shouted with a roar as he dashed towards the dragon that had just arrived a distance ahead of him as a series of explosive sounds began the moment the two came in contact with each other.
One thing to note from the dragons that Andrew Dawn had killed before this one was that the last one he just slayed had a slightly bigger size than the dragon phantom.
**********
"Ah" "Ah" "Ah"
Staring at the huge eyes of the red dragon that was also staring at him, Andrew Dawn watched as the life in its eyes slowly disappeared as he immediately collapsed on his breath and took a breather before the next dragon appeared.
After the familiar energy circulated through his body as he once again felt his strength increase, Andrew Dawn stood up from the bloody ground as he looked at his surroundings filled with dragon corpses of different sizes in different locations with confusion written all over his face.
"Why is there no dragon roar or is it a sneaky one this time?" Andrew Dawn muttered when the familiar roars that usually resounded a few seconds immediately after he killed a dragon did not happen.
Seeing as the whole place was still deadly silent, Andrew Dawn gripped the sword in his hand tighter as he decided to move from his current location with his guard up as he observed his surroundings.
This was the situation when a blue panel suddenly appeared in front of Andrew Dawn after he had only taken a few dozen steps.

"That's a lot of notification at once", Andrew Dawn muttered as he rubbed his chin while keeping his gaze on the blue panel in front of him and it didn't take long for him to make his decision.
"My goal has always been to be strong enough to protect what mines so why will I shy away from what will make me achieve this?"
"Even if it's dangerous, has the true world ever been less dangerous?"
"This opportunity is only a one time thing as well so of course I'll take it!"
After making his decision to participate in the trial, the world he was in started shaking as the scenery around him started changing.
Meanwhile in the true world, Ace and the others had just had enough rest and were ready to move again when something made them come to a halt when they were just about to come out of the cave.
Monsters and they were quite many which was understandable given that it was a pack of wolves.
"Sh*t!" Ace heard someone curse beside him but he didn't bother turning to check who it was as he kept his focus glued to the monsters in front of him.
'I wonder if I should be appreciative that it's not the monster in the den or if I should not be appreciative since its monsters in the end and this one is of multiple monsters", Ace thought as his brain worked at full speed as he thought of what to do in his current situation.
For one, even though he had healed a little from taking the basic health pill, it did not mean he had recovered his fighting prowess completely but it wasn't like the situation was completely bad because putting him aside, there were still three people in their group that had the strength to fight.
The three men of course were the ones that Andrew Dawn left outside the den.
Unlike Ace, Andrew Dawn and the two mages that had to fight with their lives on the line in the den, these three men including Caleb were all outside doing nothing but waiting for their arrival so as long as the wolf pack wasn't filled with super strong wolves, the situation they were in wouldn't be life threatening.
Thinking of this, Axe turned to look at the levels of the monsters in front of him and after he saw the levels of the majority of the wolves, only one word came to his head.
'Weak'
[Rank 1 Wolf Level 28],
[Rank 1 Wolf Level 29],
[Rank 1 Wolf Level 26],
[Rank 1 Wolf Level 27],
[Rank 1 Wolf Level 31],
[Rank 1 Wolf Level 30],
.....
…..
…
Even in his injured state, Ace could even battle some of the wolves and perhaps the others also saw this but their initial dignified expression became more relaxed.
"Leave them to me", Ace said to Andrew Dawn's men beside him as he used his eyes to inform them that it was the people on their backs he was referring to.
Seeing this, they all nodded as they slowly dropped their comrades to the ground and it was at this moment one of the wolves in front of them could no longer hold it and charge in their direction to attack.
It was as if this was the signal to attack as the other wolves began charging towards the group as well.
