Let's rewind time a bit; Alex and his comrades were separated when they entered Exodus world.
Leon was not an exception; he appeared in the starter village N° 707: Crimson city. As the name suggested, this city temperature was scorching because volcanoes and high-level dungeons surrounded the city; it was one of the hard-level beginner villages.
Leon, who appeared from a flash of light, immediately drew a lot of attention, even more, because of his features. However, Exodus was a place where a lot of races mixed in, such as humans, demons, Elves, Dwarves, druids, and so on; it's extremely rare to encounter beastmen and a high-class one as that, so Leon's appearance shocked many whiles at the same time draw in many people with weird taste.
Ignoring the looks he was receiving as if he was popstar, Leon immediately departed; however, people still secretly followed him, so Leon escaped deeper into the hot mountain; it was how he came across a hidden dungeon at the same time triggered an hidden mission. Completing the first part, he received 1400 fame points, he had just finished completing the second part, and his Fame points rose to 2400 points, so his rank.
''Sigh! I guess I'll not receive any rest until I complete this hell mode dungeon.''
Leon mumbled while checking the hidden quest progression.
{Hidden quest: Taurus lair; Taurus was one of seven saints but somehow disappeared. You have to stumble upon one of his dungeons. Conquer it to unveil Taurus history.
1st part: Rewards: 70 000 XP and 1400 Fame points
2snd part : Rewards: 90 000 XP and 1000 fame points.
Current progress: Beginning of the 3rd part.
Quest Difficulty: Hell mode.
Final rewards: + 3 Level, ##########}
Just the +3 levels were already enticing enough for Leon to accept, but he knew that the rewards were more than that, not to mention the small rewards along the way; this might be a Hell mode difficulty, but the rewards were worth it.
Leon sighed and proceeded forward, he applied some force in his right hand, and the huge black door opened slowly while generating a creaking sound as if it had been closed for a seemingly indeterminate amount of time.
*Bang!!*
A loud sound was produced when both sides of the double door hit the walls.
Leon entered with cautious steps into the room, illuminated by a dim blue light generated by the torches.
[Ding!... You have entered the fifth level of the S Rank dungeon.]
Leon's steps stopped abruptly at the unexpected announcement of the system.
'Fifth floor? Shouldn't it be the third floor?', as the beastman tried to find an answer to his questions, a black magic circle with several engraved runes lit up in the center of the room he had just entered.
Seeing that he apparently would not have the time to overthink, Leon improved his grip on the sword in his left hand and squinted as he observed the situation in front of him.
*Swoosh!*
With an intense burst of light, the magic circle disappeared. In its place, a single monster appeared.
The appearance of this monster was similar to that of a bull, but it was standing on two legs instead of 4. It was about 5 meters high and looked extremely robust. If Alex or one of the Earthlings were present, they would have easily identified the monster as the minotaur in most Earth's fantasy books.
Unaware of all of this, Leon looked above the monster, describing his level and abilities; he couldn't help but gulp audibly.
[Fifth floor Guardian Minotaur]
[Level: 160]
[Grade: 2 Stars BOSS]
Gender: Male
[HP: 8000]
[MP: 5000]
ATK: 1200
DEF: 1100
AGI: 1000
LUK: 500
INT: 800
(Skills):
[Taurus's blessing (Passive): Increases the speed of movement +200.]
[Charge (Active): Run towards the enemy in a straight line. Increase the movement speed by 50 points for 5 meters. Use Rate: Low.
Intimidation: Passive: Ability to instigate fear upon one's enemy.
Crimson blast: A beam shot, extremely volatile. It's fire beam.]
The reason Leon gulped was none other than the monster grade; unlike Alex and Gracier, Leon had done his homework; those people following him wouldn't just his handsome look for nothing, could they?
Leon caught them and beat them up; cough! He peacefully spoke with them, as he likes to say. Thanks to this peaceful talk, Leon ended up learning a lot of useful information such as how Boss is classified: it ranged from normal Boss, the one Alex faced until now, a zero star Boss to 1 star Boss, the highest one being 6 Stars Boss and it went without saying that the more star the most strong the Boss would be. Leon also learned about what use Fame points has.
To put it bluntly, not only does it increase one ranking in the world of Exodus, but at the same, it holds an important role as well; without Fame points, you can't go to the Tower located in the center of the continent, it was why everyone tries to acquire as much as they could when it comes to Fame points.
Leon's opened his closed eyes to discard these thoughts as once he started fighting, he would solely focus on the fight because 2 Stars Boss was not going to be easy to deal with.
'As expected of S Rank dungeon with Hell mode difficulty.' Leon inwardly mumbled.
Normally, from the player's words, a 2 Stars Boss should be dealt with using a five people group; however, here he was standing before such a monster, there was no one beside him other himself.
'How should I take care of this Boss? Should I go all out since the start?'
*Kaka! *Bang!!*
While Leon was doing calculations about how he should deal with the 2 Stars Boss before him, he heard a loud sound behind him. Without turning to see, he knew that the doors were closed; it was to be expected. At the same time, the Boss before him eyes lighted.
*Moooooo!*
With a loud roar, the bull ran towards Leon with speed unbefitting its large body.. The battle was about to begin.
