After a light rest for Laurene to recover her magic power, the trio continued exploring the fourth floor of the dungeon.
The second and third floors were almost walks in the park for the trio as they barely encountered any monsters. Evan suggested they just go down to the lower floors and find stronger monsters rather than searching for weaker monsters on the higher floors.
As they continued exploring, they discovered a group of adventurers struggling against a leopard monster, one clearly larger than the brown bear they had just defeated.
The moment the group arrived at the scene, it was swinging its front paw to strike a mage floating in the air down. Evan thought it looked like it was as if he was watching a monster movie, but this was reality.
And even at this time, the adventurers, who were confronting this crisis were desperately fighting.
Looking at the scene, Evan thought to himself, they obviously could not beat it, yet they refused to run.
If they died, then wouldn't it all be meaningless?
They knew that, yet they put their lives on the line.
Despite the fact that they normally would not have the confidence to defeat that monster. Despite the fact that they could die in a single attack of its paw.
'Human foolishness. Oh, there's a beastkin there so, beastkin foolishness?
Then again, I can't blame them. They've all been inflicted by the 'Arrogance' Status effect.'
He activated his concealment skill again and began running towards the monster after telling Laurene to support him with magic.
The leather armour covering his body didn't hinder him. Instead, it was as if it was pushing him forward by helping the wind.
The surrounding objects, the adventurers who were urgently calling somewhere, the ones who were flicked away by the leopard, they were all passed by.
Nobody noticed him.
He had no intention to have anyone notice him.
The leopard started dashing. After swiping two tankers and swatting a bomb thrown at it onto the ground to make it explode, it smashed against the ground again.
Some adventurers also attacked it and were in turn also attacked.
It was fortunate that the adventurers attacking with long-range magic were alright. However, the people who were trying to wound it in close combat were all tattered.
There might even be those who had died, No-there were definitely those who had died.
'Before absolute power, numbers are meaningless, that's why I'd get stronger, strong enough that any number of demons would be useless against me.'
He appraised the monster as he thought this.

'Level 55, It's too high level to be on this floor.
I guess it had probably been biding its time and killing tons of adventurers to level up and reach that level.
As for killing it, that's doable.'
He thought as he kept running while squeezing out all the strength of his muscles to produce a speed that surpassed the limits of his stats.
The moment he neared the leopard, he kicked off the ground and jumped high while confirming its position.
He kicked off the magic foothold he created by condensing ice magic to jump high, and kicked off more footholds to jump even higher.
Even if his ice magic was only tier 0, it did not mean that he could not use it for simple things like creating footholds to propel himself into the air.
After repeating that several times, he was several tens of meters in the air. Even so, nobody noticed him.
The leopard had realized something was wrong, but it was too occupied with the adventurers in front of it to care.
Evan then let gravity do the rest of the work.
While falling towards his target in mid-air, he pulled back the sword with all his strength.
The leopard's huge face was getting nearer and nearer, opening its mouth to swallow the floating mage whole. At that moment, the figure of Evan was reflected in its two yellow eyes.
Evan struck the sword into its left eye with all his strength.
***KraAHHaRRAAAaa!!!!
It was a scream that made the air tremble. Its eye burst with a rupturing sound, the fluids covering Evan's entire body.
With that, his presence appeared in the dungeon. This was a moment when the atmosphere of the battlefield changed.
"It's a kid...?"
The adventurers were surprised when Evan appeared on the head of the monster, holding a sword in its eye.
The leopard which was clinging onto a small rock couldn't withstand the pain and slid down. The fact that it didn't let go of the person it was holding even while it was sliding was truly frightening.
Evan was holding onto the sword that had been embedded into its eye, only swiftly pulling it out and jumping down when it had let go of the person in its paw.
As a result, the half-pulled-out sword slid down its face, following Evan and inflicting a large wound which covered its face from the eye to the chin.
It moved its feet while twisting its body, but Evan was already out of its range. Moreover, while it couldn't come to its senses due to losing one eye, magic hit its body from all directions. Although small, there must have been some damage.
Evan picked up the person who was released and tossed them towards the other adventurers without even looking.
The leopard that had fallen onto the ground had its eyes glued on Evan.
One eye was pouring out blood, while the other eye was looking at him with the desire to kill.
Well, it had taken the most damage from him, so it was obvious that he would become its target.
That monster was not as stupid as the bear to forget the situation due to pain, so it seemed like it wouldn't let Evan go back into concealment.
However, that didn't matter. It was an opponent that he could defeat head-on.
He increased his running speed while smirking a little.
"Everyone! Use magic! Aim for that blasted eye!"
The majority of the adventurers here had probably met each other for the first time today, teaming up temporarily to explore the dungeon.
Despite that, they were matching their breathing with only the desire to kill the leopard in their heads. The desires stacked on top of each other to transform into a sharp blade.
Of course, this was only possible as Evan appeared to allow them time to breathe, but the effect was larger than Evan had thought, although he did not care.
**KkrrrrrRRRrrr!
