In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl.

Chapter 36 Killing Jaluo

Ryu single-handedly took on the roles of both the captain and vice-captain of the Rudraksha clan, as well as the remaining LV.2.

Roy approached Jalal, drew his Muragi sword from his waist, and declared, "I'll be your opponent!"

"You brat, are you looking down on me?" Jaluo felt insulted. How dare this mere LV.1 trash jump around in front of him, a LV.2?

Roy pushed off with both legs and charged toward Jarrow.

As a Level 2 warrior, Jaluo retreated, drawing a long whip from his waist. "Fool! I'm a beast tamer! How could I possibly fight you head-on!"

High ability values, even exceeding the limit, mean invincible among those of the same level, but the huge gap between levels is something even Roy's SSS-level agility cannot overcome.

The two engaged in a chase through the cave, weaving through the white mist, with Roy unable to catch up to his opponent for a long time.

Little did he know that Jarrow was even more shocked, because he couldn't shake off Roy either. Was this the speed a LV.1 adventurer should have? The two maintained a certain distance, seemingly trying to see who would run out of stamina first.

Snapped!

Jaluo's face turned fierce as he lashed out with his long whip, the whip whistling through the air as a long, serpentine phantom lashed at the skin of the dungeon monster.

"Monster, fight!"

With his whipping and roaring, the surrounding dungeon monsters dragged their wounded bodies to their feet.

Orcs, imps, evil bats, shadow warriors, killer ants, and other monsters blocked Roy's path.

In this world, the tamer does not "tame" monsters, but rather "makes monsters unable to resist," making the monsters understand the power relationship between themselves and the tamer.

The best evidence is that tamed monsters will still attack people other than their tamers, and it is extremely difficult to make a monster remember complex commands.

Jarrow did this very well, making the monster realize that LV.1 Roy was easier to attack than him.

Needless to say, the other monsters are a different story. The Shadow Warriors and Killer Ants are known as "newbie killers" in the upper levels. If he had to deal with these monsters first, he wouldn't have the strength to fight against Jaluo.

Roy decisively drew his Ice Blade.

With a gentle wave, a burst of icy cold air erupted, equivalent to a level 3 adventurer's magic. A blizzard enveloped the area, freezing all the monsters into ice sculptures.

Click!

The next moment, all the ice sculptures exploded, turning into ice crystals and dissipating, the scattered light as beautiful as a painting.

The crystal-clear ice blade in Roy's hand shattered, and this useful magic sword was finally completely ruined.

In order to tame the monster, Jarrow slowed down, while Roy used the magic sword to clear out the monster with one strike, taking the opportunity to catch up with him and slash at him.

With a turn, Jaluo grabbed the whip with his other hand and used it to block Roy's sword as it came down.

Seeing Roy's magic sword easily kill twenty or thirty monsters, he thought, "This power... could it be the Crozo Magic Sword? You brat, you've got quite a few good things."

"You're not bad either, you pretended to be weak and almost fooled me!" Roy gripped the sword hilt with both hands and pressed down with all his might.

In the previous melee, Jāra was cunning and sly, never fighting the Immaculate Giants or dungeon monsters, but cleverly hiding behind others.

Despite appearing covered in wounds and looking exhausted, the injuries were actually minor and superficial.

Father, like son.

Only Roy, who had entered the battlefield, saw it.

"So this is how the dark faction operates, you brat!" Jalal sneered, maintaining over 70% of his strength as he lunged forward.

It was a pure contest of strength; the immense power emanating from Jaluo forced Roy to retreat continuously.

"Challenging me with your LV.1 strength is the most foolish thing you've ever done!" Jāluó laughed loudly.

Even if Jaluo is just a beast tamer, he is still a genuine LV.2 adventurer.

The upgraded adventurer is no different from a superhero. Even if they just barely make it to LV.2, their physique will improve dramatically. With a light leap, they can jump onto the roof of a two-story building and lift stones weighing hundreds of kilograms...

Having taken the initiative, Jarrow swept over with a whip kick, and Roy instinctively retreated to dodge.

call out!

Roy retreated two or three meters, but before he could even regain his footing, a blur of motion attacked him like a venomous snake. He raised his Murakami sword to parry, but the whip struck his hand with pinpoint accuracy, leaving a sharp crack that tore his skin.

A sharp pain shot through Roy's brain, and he gasped. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the skin on the back of his hand had been torn off, and the wound was so deep that the finger bones were visible.

He almost dropped the sword, so he quickly switched it to his other hand.

"Hahahahaha!"

Jaluo maintained a distance of four or five meters between himself and Roy, rapidly lashing out with his long whip, forcing Roy to jump and leap. Each time he was struck, not only was his skin torn and bleeding, but he also felt as if his bones were being crushed.

In no time, Roy's shirt was torn to shreds, and his chest and back were covered with numerous whip marks, purplish-red wounds from which dark red blood flowed, and even a faint red mark on his right cheek.

A burning pain spread throughout his body. Anyone else would have regretted dealing with Jāra alone by now, since leaving him to Ryū would have meant certain death anyway.

The light in Roy's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Twenty-one wounds, three minutes—that's the damage you've inflicted on me!"

Jaluo's face showed a slight surprise.

A burst of crimson light emanated from Roy's body, like flames around him, creating a visually distorted effect.

"This... could it be a skill? Impossible, you're only LV.1." Jaluo's pupils widened. He only got his first skill, a beast taming skill, after reaching LV.2.

Roy took a step forward, instantly covering five meters, and thrust the Murakami sword fiercely into Jalal's heart.

"So what if it's a skill? My level is still higher!" Jaluo roared, trying to embolden himself, and swung his long whip like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.

The moment the longsword touched the whip, Roy grabbed the hilt with both hands and spun it rapidly, the blade, like a stirring stick, wrapping around the whip.

Blood for blood, double the payback!

He discarded the Murakami sword that was wrapped around the whip, exerted all the strength in his muscles, and the crimson light on his body gathered on Roy's fist, which slammed heavily into Jaluo's face.

Jaluo also abandoned his long whip and threw a punch.

With both sides losing their weapons and engaging in pure hand-to-hand combat, the battle reached its climax.

Click!

When the two fists collided, a powerful force, clearly not belonging to LV.1, came from Roy's fist, and the sound of bones cracking came from Jarrow's fist, forearm, and upper arm.

Jaluo looked terrified and staggered backward.

Roy spun around and delivered a chop to the back of Jallus's neck, severing his spine and rupturing his nerves. Jallus's eyes instantly lost their light, and with a thud, his body collapsed to the ground.

Jallu stared intently at Roy, unable to believe even in his dying moments that he would die at the hands of a LV.1 nobody, especially since the other party hadn't used any underhanded tactics!

"Huff! Huff!"

Roy, panting heavily, had undoubtedly accomplished a great feat by killing a Level 2 adventurer with the strength of a Level 1!
