Chapter 108: Overkill
The cloud of dust caused by the bombardment of magic spells eventually settled, allowing Leo and Nina to take a clear look at the condition of the Black Wyvern.
“Holy shit…” Leo muttered in a shocked voice after seeing the scene before him.
“…” Nina was speechless.
After the surprise attack, the Black Wyvern had sustained so much damage that it had become unrecognizable, and its body was only a fourth of its original size, as the rest of its body had been destroyed during the attack.
“I think we overdid it…” Leo muttered after a moment of silence.
“You used the Tier 2 magic spell, Void Spear, right?” Nina suddenly asked him.
“Yes, what about it?”
“…It’s too powerful.”
“That’s only natural, since I overcharged it.” He said.
“No, that was unnaturally powerful even with overcharge. For comparison, I used a Tier 4 magic spell just now, and even when overcharged, it would not have been able to create such a powerful explosion, which means it was mostly caused by your Void Spear…”
“As long as you continue using magic, we’ll be able to hunt A-Rank monsters. Rank 1 won’t be unachievable any longer. However, it will definitely make people suspicious since we won’t have any footage of us fighting A-Rank monsters.”?? ? ?? n ? ???
“That’s fine by me. Like I’d said, I don’t care about what the others think. I only care about getting first place in this training course!” Leo said.
While Nina’s skeleton warrior harvested the Black Wyvern’s mana core, Leo checked his watch to see how many points he’d gained from the kill.
“150,000 points! The Black Wyvern gave us 150,000 points!” He exclaimed in excitement.
In just a few moments they had acquired what would normally take a few hours of grinding B-Rank monsters to acquire.
“Alright, it’s decided! Once we see what’s at the end of this cave, we’ll return to this place to hunt these Black Wyverns!” Leo suddenly declared.
“Okay.” Nina had no problem with his decision. In fact, she was excited about it.
After harvesting the mana core, the skeleton warrior handed it to Leo, whose eyes widened the moment he saw the size of the mana core.
“This thing is huge!” He exclaimed.
The mana core was larger than even his own head, and it weighed around 100kg or about 220 lbs.
“How much money do you think this mana core will fetch for?” He asked in a dazed voice. p??da n?vel
“You can probably get a few million dollars for this mana core.” Nina said.
Leo swallowed nervously after hearing her words.
“A few million… I’ll be freaking rich soon! Hahaha!” He laughed out loud once he realized that he was going to be rich after he returned to the city.
“Alright, let’s keep going.” Leo said a moment later.
“Wait.” Nina stopped him.
“Hm?” Leo looked at her with raised eyebrows.
“Even though its corpse is badly damaged, we can harvest its claws. They’ll also fetch a good amount of money.”
“I understand.” Leo retrieved his sword and began cutting its claws.
Once he was done, he tossed them into his Spatial Ring.
They continued their journey shortly after. ,c,om
Over the next several hours, they would encounter a few more Black Wyverns. Of course, they repeated what they did the first time with one exception— they no longer summoned skeleton mages since that would be an overkill.
“Is there nothing besides wyverns in here? Not that I am complaining…” Leo said after killing their 9th wyvern.
“Look, we’re back in the top 50.” Nina showed her watch to him.
“If we continue at this rate, we will definitely achieve top 3.”
“Just top 3? I thought you said we would get rank 1.”
“It’s possible, but there are surely other teams out there that are hunting A-Rank monsters right now.”
Leo sighed, “As expected of a prestigious academy. The school is filled with monsters.”
“And you’re one of them, perhaps even the biggest one in this whole academy.” Nina mumbled in a low voice.
Several more hours and Black Wyverns later, Nina started staring at Leo with a puzzled expression.
“What’s wrong?” he asked her.
“How come you don’t need to drink any mana potions? I should have more mana than you, yet I have to drink a mana potion every four hours.”
“Oh, I have naturally high mana regeneration.” He gave her a random excuse.
p ?? da n ?v el “…” Nina became quiet afterward for some reason.
“Leo, you should probably calm down. You look incredibly suspicious right now.” Lilith suddenly said to him.
“Huh? What do you mean? How do I look suspicious?”
“Have you already forgotten what the Headmistress told you? Everyone that came to this world from another world were all monsters with unfathomable talents. If you keep showing off, she’ll suspect that you’re one of these people.” Lilith explained.
“So what should I do? Make myself look less talented? That’s easier said than done.”
“I know, but you should still try.”
“Alright.”
After walking for many hours, they finally found what appeared to be the end of the cavern, but this new path was vastly different from the others.
“This is… a staircase?” Leo mumbled as he stared at the staircase before him.
“Looks like it… And it looks fairly old. It’s probably been many years since someone last used this staircase.” Nina said.
“Let’s go down and see what’s on the other side.” Leo said a moment later.
“Okay.”
They began descending the staircase the following moment with Leo walking in front of Nina.
‘This sort of reminds me of the Labyrinth I explored with Miss Camille.’ Leo suddenly recalled his first experience inside a Labyrinth and its long staircases.
Several minutes later, they eventually reached the end of the staircase.
After exiting the staircase, they entered an underground hallway, and at the end of this hallway, there was a massive gate with a complex design on it.
“T-This place is…” Leo’s eyes widened when he saw the scene before him, as the giant doors and the eerie aura it emanated reminded him of a boss room from a Labyrinth!
