The moment he spoke those words, the entire area suddenly burst into silver flames, expanding as far as the eye could see.
At the same time, however, Neraxis could feel a massive surge of mana entering his body, essentially restoring all of his previously used mana and completely relieving the fatigue he had felt.
However, he definitely did not expect this amount of destruction.
Each monster's distorted scream resounded until eventually, it all died down.
And just as he expected, a column of red system messages appeared before him, bringing a smile to his face.
[469x (F+ Ranked Monster) Goblin Slain! Reward: Stigmata 0% -> 4.69%]
[311x (F+ Ranked Monster) Venomous Wasp Slain! Reward: Stigmata 4.69% -> 7.8%]
[95x (E- Ranked Monster) Demonic Imp Slain! Reward: Stigmata 7.8% -> 17.3%]
[70x (E+ Ranked Monster) Dire Wolf Slain! Reward: Stigmata 17.3% -> 34.8%]
[3x (D- Ranked Monster) Troll Scout Slain! Reward: Stigmata 34.8% -> 37.8%]
[1x (D+ Ranked Mini-Boss) Ogre Sentinel Slain! Reward: Stigmata 37.8% -> 45.3%]
What a great haul, though I am a bit surprised the Ogre wasn't C- rank, he remarked inwardly before jumping back on guard.
For all he knew, there could be more monsters, simply because the Ogre was a Mini-Boss.
Naturally, where there was a Mini-Boss, there was also a Boss.
However, even after the minutes ticked down, not a single monster appeared; the boss included.
Finally, he was down to his last minute.
Only then could he feel something happening again, but this time, he definitely did not expect it.
On the outskirts of the gladiator-like arena appeared a bunch of doors, and out of them came Troll Scouts, each holding a boulder.
Shit, Neraxis expressed before glancing at the time.
[0:51]
There wasn't much left, but with over 10 Troll Scouts surrounding him, it would be a tad bit difficult to avoid.
Yet he wouldn't give up; if anything, it might even be a bit easier to fight them head-on.
And that's exactly what Neraxis did, proceeding toward where the slowest of the bunch were.
The boulders came flying in, but before they could make contact with him, he seamlessly dodged, even cutting a few in half.
For some reason, ever since earlier, he felt his sword swings become more efficient, faster, and more precise as well.
No skill rank-up notification though, Neraxis grumbled and cut another boulder in half as he finally approached one of the Troll Scouts.
Nonetheless, with the skills he had, their numbers swiftly dwindled from 7 to 5, to now only 2.
Yet he miscalculated a little bit, as the blackened-out parts of his arm soon disappeared, meaning his Aura of the Abyss perk automatically disabled itself.
The reason? Lack of mana.
Neraxis felt a bit groggy, yet he persevered, slashing both of the Troll Scouts' knees in half, making them fall onto the ground.
They tried attacking him in the last moment, but he simply stepped backward before jumping into the air and swiftly positioning himself in a way where, in the next attack, he could end them both.
Immediately, Neraxis used the Simple Horizontal Slash, cleaving both of their heads off.
But he wasn't done, since even after having their heads lopped off, new heads soon began emerging, forming in an excruciating manner.
However, before it could get too far, he used the blood that had flowed out of them and quickly made a few more constructs.
To his surprise, since they constantly regenerated, it also seemed like their blood was being replenished as well.
Because of that, the number of Blood Constructs he was able to summon was a bit ridiculous.
[1559x Blood Construct Summoned! Type: Combat—Blood Needle]
Soon, Neraxis felt a massive joint connection, and without waiting further, waved his hand downward, piercing the Troll Scouts with an ever-increasing amount of Blood Needles.
That was until eventually, they died, and the notifications finally dawned before him.
[10x (D- Ranked Monster) Troll Scout Slain! Reward: Stigmata 45.3% → 55.3%]
Yet that wasn't the end of the notifications, though, as the timer finally reached zero.

Oh? he raised his brow at the unexpected stream of notifications before his eyes widened at the next set of them.
[Rating Generated: SSS]
[Position: 3,776,511,055 -> 1,221,559,971]
[Current Progress: 1/? Floors]
Positions? Oh, that's what determines those rankings I looked up back then, he nodded to himself before looking for the way out button.
Yet he stumbled upon something more interesting, which made him halt.
