Chapter 234: Chapter 234 How Soma does things.

After seeing the translucent window that blocked his view, Soma lifted his gaze up and directly under the blinding light from the ceiling. His eyes flickered several times before he closed it.However, the moment he closed his eyes, the earlier event when Hina fell from the sky and struck the ground began to replicate in his mind, jolting his eyes open.

The menacing aura around his body faded albeit a little as he kicked the ground, feeling many gazes directed at him from behind. He thought at first they were monsters.

"Soma".

Soma found Leon, who soon became flinched after seeing his cold gaze directed at him. Then Ryuu from behind Leon approached him and looked toward Soma cautiously because he felt something was not right about Soma, "What happened to him! He seemed different from what I know".

Ryuu fidgets while nearing his palm toward the sword on his waist. His move was caught by Soma, who slightly turned his eyes to it, making Ryuu scratch his cheek nervously.

"...".

"Pardon me?".

"Are all the students with you?".

Without minding Ryuu's earlier conduct, Soma asks with absolutely no interest whatsoever. Ryuu and Leon then exchange looks as they nod their head simultaneously.

"Yeah, they are here, but".

"Senior Serafina, Miss Akabane, and Miss Xiao Lian are nowhere to be seen".

"I see".

After asking Ryuu and Leon, Soma turned his back, and without waiting for the other words, he kicked the ground, unleashing shockwaves that made the two of them flinch while covering their eyes for the raised dust.

"What power? Is he really a first-year student?".

"...Ahaha, I'm also wondering the same thing. Even though we were freshmen, this much gap in strength is truly inconceivable".

Ryuu saw Leon, who mocked himself while comparing himself with Soma. What can Leon do if Soma shows that much power in front of his eyes? This also happens with Ryuu, who is a second-year student. He had never seen someone with as much power as Soma during his time in the Academy. "...He is clearly abnormal".

Leaving the other two, Soma, in mid-air, began to transverse the sky, and with his current power, he could travel much faster than earlier.

Several times passed, and he finally found a hole that would lead him toward the lower floor. He shot forward and began to descend the long stair-like corridor in a silent manner before he arrived at a vast room with a carved rocky structure filled with many ancient texts plastered across the ground in a circle.

"So, this was the end!".

In the middle of the room stood an altar made from rock, forming a small pillar with a translucent sphere that shone in silver color, radiating a mysterious gleam for those who saw it.

The sphere was a dungeon core, the brain of the dungeon itself. How the dungeon was created has been a mystery for millennia, so no one has ever tried to investigate it deeply and blamed it on Heaven's will.

Soma slowly approached the sphere, but when he reached the range of five meters, the sphere shone radiantly before creating a thin barrier that looked like a cage, preventing Soma from closing.

He extended his left hand to feel the barrier and the texture. Apparently, it was the same as when he was in the dream at that time. Soft but firm.

Knowing the barrier visually. Soma began to turn his back and slowly raised his aura while he ascended the stairs. The lightning bolts that tame turned wild, and the aura of the mixed power of Saint and Devil began to resonate in his mutated body.

He concentrates his power on his legs one at a time while maintaining his peak concentration. Once he reached the outside, he turned back again and prepared his running posture, crouching on all fours.

[Oni's Wrath activated]

[All stats will be enhanced 100%]

The atmosphere shook upon the skill activation, making the temperature around him spike up.

Soma, who was in the middle of all the chaos, inhaled a deep breath slowly before exhaling it all in a single breath and shooting forward like a missile.

Each time the step reaches the ground, it is destroyed, a time-space fracture creating a distortion within the subdimension. In the blink of an eye, Soma arrived at the room where the Sphere let out a blinding light, trying to strengthen the barrier, preventing Soma from destroying the dungeon.

"...Third Steps - Lightning Strike".

Again, Soma uttered those words in these slow-motion worlds he saw. He tensed his muscles before his feet left the ground and spun in a wild manner in front of the barrier, then unleashed his kick that was carried by the momentum he created.

A roaring thunder echoed, shaking the atmosphere, making the whole dungeon tremble and alerting the monster and the invader inside. The barrier that took the full brunt of Soma's kick began to crack, and it shattered into a myriad of pieces, exposing the sphere that shone unnaturally to danger.

Soma put his right leg that destroyed the barrier on the ground, and then he took another spin, lifting his feet off the ground and then launching another turning kick, which hit the sphere.

The sphere was nothing in front of Soma's techniques as it shattered into fine pieces that scattered into the air and burst apart into stardust, creating a small rainbow.

[You destroyed a dungeon core]

[Bonus Exp 1000!]

[You cannot level up if you still haven't met the requirement for it]

[Title: Dungeon Hunter]

In the room where Soma destroyed the sphere, a magic circle as big as the room itself emerged from below his feet, and it shone in silver light, filling the entire room. Soma, who was Swallowed by the light, his consciousness also disappeared, swallowed by darkness.

***

Teacher Lee, who barely reached the eighth floor with his fellow teacher, felt a great shake on his feet, stopping their advance from searching for the students.

"What is happening?".

One of his fellow teachers asked. Yet, teacher Lee was too focused on his surroundings. He wonders what is happening because a tremor is rare in a dungeon except when a giant appears. Then, one of his fellow teachers screamed, making him turn his attention to the source.

"What?".

One by one, teacher Lee witnessed his party enveloped by light before disappearing from the place. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What is happening?".

Thus, for the last time, his body begins to be enveloped by light and disappear from the forest, and before he realizes it, His nose catches the scent of salt from the sea that is drafted in the air. He scanned his surroundings and found not just him and the other teacher but all the students also had the same dubious expression on their faces.

In one of the corners, Xiao Lian, who was wallowing in despair, kept her gaze down while still recalling the event that had happened to Hina. She even didn't realize that she was already outside the dungeon.

"Hina!".

Xiao Lian recognized this voice. It was none other than Serafina's voice that called Hina's name, who probably was stunned seeing her bloodied body.

"Um? Senior Sera, why are we here? What is happening".

"Hina! I'm glad!".

Her body jolted in shock, hearing a voice that seemed nostalgic in her ears. Slowly, she began to recognize her surroundings and gaze toward the source, only to find Serafina hugging the perfectly fine Hina, making her eyeball almost pop out of its socket.

However, despite her confusion, she noticed something. Around Hina's back, a thin green cloth that seems to be called a Hagoromo in Japanese folklore creates a beautiful circle behind her head, flowing through her armpit and then waist down.

"Hm? Silver hair, so you are here too; it seemed everyone also transferred here".

Xiao Lian's thoughts started to work again, and unconsciously, her body dashed forward and embraced Hina, feeling a huge burden lifted from her heart.

Hina, who understands their intention, safely receives their hug. She saw the two girls' bodies start to tremble while sobbing, and then Hina, who got caught in the atmosphere and recalled the event when she almost died, started to bury her face, letting the three girls be buried in their sobs.
