Reyansh stood in front of the gate after going through clearance, this gate had skulls made of bones to represent the monster inhabiting the gate.

Reyansh didn’t wait much and entered the gate, after feeling the usual sensation of being stretched, he found himself in a dark cave.

The dim light barely allowed him to see beyond a few steps while grating sound reached his ears, and a sulphuric smell burnt his nose hairs.

He felt his eyes, slowly adjusting to the dim light and surrounding starting to became clear enough. He extended his senses, further trying to make a map mentally.

[Fiery_Redina: Okay, a bit dark. That’s new.]

[Ellise: He adapted well to the lava situation, it will interesting to watch how he handles this and how fast.]

[The Blazing Sandra has donated you a Rare rank Glow Torch.]

[Would you like to apply Qualitative or Quantitative amplification of Peek 1?]

’She is always so thoughtful,’ He remarked internally.

"Thanks for your gesture, Sandra. But it will be a good way to train my senses but you know I will use..."

[The Blazing Sandra: You will use it if need ever arises. Suit yourself but be quick, clock is ticking.]

Before he could respond again, the thin grating noise increased as he heard tapping sound of something walking towards him.

’Always on clue,’ he stated mentally as he clenched his fists and took a neutral stance with his hands raised and legs bent slightly.

[Daoist_kun: Bro! Where’s your weapon?]

[Diamond_King: Are you going to fight with your fists instead of your shiny sword.]

He ignored the comments for now as he focused on his senses, he differentiated two rhythmic tapping sound.

’At least two, probably regular monsters.’

He sensed two monsters with elongated body, attacking him from the left. As the monsters entered his visual range, he bent back slightly and swung his right leg around, kicking the first bone rat, sending it backwards.

The second rat jumped at him, he ducked down and punched its jaw with his fist. The fist connected cleanly and with a sickening CRACKK! The monster flung into the air and collapsed on the ground.

He walked forward, crushing the first bone rat’s head with his feet. He glanced around and moved further the tunnel while kill notification appeared in his vision and he ignored.

While sprinting forward, he worked on his perception to map the width of the tunnel and any lingering monsters.

[Elise: Okay, nice start on hand to hand combat.]

[Anonimus_Assassin: Yeah, with his body, he better be.]

[Cat_Empress: He moves well for a newbie, Nya!]

Suddenly, 5 monster entered his sensing range, he clenched his fist and increased his speed. First monster couldn’t even feel properly and was broken apart by speedy punch.

Looking at the impact, an idea bloomed in his mind but he remained focused.

[Raisena_Forge: That’s some damage.]

[Dread Fist: This human can punch.]

The four monsters blocked his way forward, two bone rats attacked him with bony jaw aiming his torso and hand.

With no way to go forward, he turned sideways and used the cave walls to jump a bit high, bringing down a full strike punch at one monster’s head.

He didn’t give the second monster a chance to attack him again and kicked it straight in the jaw breaking its head off. The other two monsters, jumped seeing Reyansh turning his back to them.

Both jumped at him with their claw aimed at his back. However, Reyansh’s senses immediately warned him of the impending attack.

He used the bone of the dead monster to turn at pivot around, swinging his leg with full strength. His kick connected to one monster, flinging it sideways, taking other monster with it.

The monster with direct contact had its neck shattered due to kick and impact, leaving behind the last stumbling monster.

Reyansh rushed to it next and put his fist through its skull, killing it instantly.

[Red Falcon: Efficient.]

[Dread Fist: Put more strength human, you are holding back.]

[Anonimus_Assassin: What! He is holding back?]

Reyansh noticed the message going deeper into the tunnel. ’That’s a new name with good eyes.’

Before he could respond, he sensed a forked pathway ahead. He stopped at their entrance and spread his senses, trying to find the tunnel with more damage and signs of monster rampage.

After a second thought, he took the left tunnel with more signs and the density of the smell, increasing his speed moving forward.

[Raisena_Forge: What did he use to choose that particular tunnel?]

[Black_Nails09: His perception probably.]

’Spot on, miss Arpita, I truly hope you don’t have any nefarious scheme like previous principal,’ he wondered as he kept moving forward.

As Reyansh went further, he encountered few more bone rats and eliminated them easily, moving forward. Few minutes later, he entered a bit widen area of tunnel.

Reyansh became even more alert seeing the broaden tunnels. Just a few seconds in, he noticed two quadrupedal monsters. As he focused his eyes, the image of monsters resembled that of dogs.

’These are probably Bone Hound mentioned,’ he remembered the details he had read in the morning.

Using the same tactic as earlier, he came with full speed and punched straight into half ready Bone Hound, breaking it body into parts.

A smile bloomed under his mask, the second hound remained frozen after witnessing the destruction, allowing Reyansh to turn around.

Without wasting a beat, he moved forward while the Hound lunged at him with sharp bone claws. Reyansh easily dodged its attack with his speed and perception.

After pivoting to the side, he delivered two consecutive quick punches, aimed at the ribs of the hound. This caused the hound to stagger a bit and breaking its bones.

Seeing the stumbling Bone Hound, he rushed at him, using the scattered bones as stepping pad, he jumped a bit higher, delivering the kick at its head.

The hound’s head exploded in multiple pieces as its rest of body fell to ground.

Glancing his eyes around, sensing no monster, he rushed deeper. He also noticed the tunnel becoming wider and he moved deeper.

[Fiery_Redina: He didn’t even look back at the destruction he caused, nice.]

[Anonimus_Assassin: I like that he rarely focus outside the fight unless necessary.]

He eliminated few more Bone rats and Bone Hounds along the way. After his run for few minute, he finally reached at the end of a broad cave.

The lighting was a bit better here, just as the Reyansh’s eyes fell on the monster in the centre. He immediately felt the strength of a boss monster.

His perception had warned him of a single monster which big body.

Just by looking at the boss monster, he could tell that the reinforced body parts with appearance that of bone gorilla won’t die from a simple punch.

[Dread Fist has issued a challenge for 1000 Cosmic coins.]

[Challenge: End the boss monster in one shot.]

[Dread Fist: Can you do it human?]

A smile formed under his mask, "I was just looking for a challenge, thanks, I accept."

Giving the monster, a glance he turned back and ran.

[Fiery_Redina: What!]

Reyansh suddenly stopped after going a bit far and turned back towards the boss monster again.

He put all his strength in legs and pushed himself with his full speed, causing the cave floor to crack beneath his feet.

[Daoist_kun: Oh, he is going to do it. A Supersonic punch baby!]

Reyansh focused mana in his punch as he pulled his hand back, a swirl of mana started to gather around his hand, leaving behind a sonic trail as he ran.

With speed much greater than naked eye, he rushed straight at monster. The monster, feeling something off tried to enter the tunnel but couldn’t due to its size.

Reyansh emerged from the tunnel as the monster remained unguarded, he punched straight into the monster core.

The air itself compressed before exploding outwards with an impact that mimicked an explosion as a ripple flowed, wrecking the entire body of boss monster.

"I guess they are brittle."
