BXBX NOVEL 95 Chapter 95
Acht couldn\'t believe himself. He kept checking his soul force again and again but the result is still the same. He had lost all of his levels and came back to the white soul stage.
What was even weirder is the fact that he didn\'t feel any drop in his powers. If anything, he felt as if he got a boost in his strength and became stronger than before. This was so contradicting in and out of itself that he couldn\'t think it was possible.
So, as a last resort, he had to do one thing to check out his theories and that\'s to actually move around and experiment with his own body.
"It seems that I lost all of my levels." He said to Leislet who was also confused as much as him.
"Losing levels is not that rare. Many people sustain heavy injuries in their soul stones and so they could lose levels because of it. But, I can\'t feel your aura going weaker."
"I also felt it. I didn\'t drop back to being weak. Maybe it\'s the heart that he planted in me that was responsible for this." Acht muttered loudly.
Then, he stood up slowly. The numbness in his body had already disappeared and he was back in his peak form. The first thing he wanted to try was his speed.
It was one of the most important things he relied on during battles and it was also his strongest point by far.
So, he bent down slightly before blasting from his initial position like a rocket. His aim was the wall far off to his right. It was the only wall that was considerably still intact after the chaos that ensued before.
In one second, he had reached the wall and touched it. The distance was around 50 meters.
"My speed increased but very slightly. I could barely see the difference. The most important thing is that my speed is still at the same level." He said.
Then, he looked to his side and saw a huge boulder that fell down from the ceiling.
He then approached it and clenched his fist.
*Swish* *Boom*
With one single punch, the boulder was turned into dust. He didn\'t even feel any discomfort in his knuckles after hitting it.
"My raw strength is also the same give or take." He deducted.
After that, he tried all kinds of skills and moves he learned. He even tried using gravity and it was still pretty much the same. All in all, nothing changed except for the color of his eyes.
"Hmm, that\'s really weird. How could this be possible to happen?"
In truth, if this was indeed the case which it seems to be for the time being, then that\'s huge for Acht. Having the same strength as an orange soul while being a white soul level one means that he would always be ahead of anyone else by a whole soul stage. Not one level or two levels, but 10 whole levels of difference!
This might not appear at his current strength, but later on, when leveling up becomes extremely hard, this difference will be crucial.
\'What kind of creature is that monster?\' He looked at the dead corpse of the creature. He didn\'t know what he was or where he came from but he held a grudge against him. He was technically the one that killed him so obviously he would hate him.
"We should check his body," Acht suggested to Leislet who also agreed to his proposition.
They then approached the corpse and looked at it. Now that they were close to it, they saw a glaring change in his body. His previous muscular physique became frail like a withering tree.
His skin tone became way paler than before. Even the runes on his body started turning dull. The way he just changed this quickly bewildered them.
He was just a mystery in and out of itself.
"Could he be the boss of this dungeon?" He asked.
Leislet bent down and touched his forehead just like how she did with the orc lord. She sat there motionless for a good 20 seconds.
"No, he isn\'t the boss of this dungeon. But…he seems to have been influencing this dungeon and that\'s probably the reason why it had changed like this. The amount of energy he had made the dungeon transform just to be able to handle his aura and not collapse on itself." She muttered.
Acht understood her words and he could see that being the case since his aura was beyond what anything in this world could reach.
"But, the questions that we can\'t answer are: Why is he here? And what is he in the first place?" He said.
"I can\'t tell you a clear answer. We need to bring him back with us and do some experiments. If this creature is not the only one in the lower world, it will be a huge disaster." She said as she imagined the worst-case scenario.
If even two of them came out, then the whole world would probably go extinct. No one could stop them, even if all the hunters in the world ganged up on them.
"He\'s not an omnipotent thought. These things can harm him."
Acht then picked a crystal shard he found randomly and slashed down on the body. The shard sliced through his body easily without any resistance. No blood came out of his body, as if he was only made of bones and skin with no substance inside.
Even if they couldn\'t kill them without sustaining a lot of damage, they still had a way to deal with them. It was a key point that they had to keep in mind.
"Ok, help me stand up. We need to get out." She said as she stored his corpse in her spatial ring.
She really wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She had drunk a high-rank potion and fixed her broken bones but she was still weak in her limbs because of the after-effect of this potion.
