Jaul was fighting, ever since he became level 150. Nothing was really a challenge anymore; he knew better than picking fights he couldn't win. He was a normal human at the time after all, but not anymore.

  “That stupid lizard...” He said with his back against the wall. According to the system, those spears were “contaminated” and they were devouring his dungeon.

  But that was only on the actual dungeon, in the control room? There were more than simple spears, they were also soldiers, immortal soldiers, no matter how many he killed, they always came back.

  He looked at his right hand, as a spear slowly started growing on his palm.

  “Fuck...” Most of the soldiers were cannon fodder, but 3 of them, they were stronger that anything he had seen, the only reason he wasn’t dead was because they were playing with him.

  “Dammit!” He punched the wall with enough strength that it should break, but it didn’t. He was becoming weaker with each passing moment, the spear draining his power.

  “I can’t die like this... That bastard of a lizard... she was able hold on longer even with spears on her whole body, and you think I will fall with a simple spear?” He had seen her, fighting against the pain through the television. He got up from the floor, electricity coursing through his body.

  “Bring it on you bastards...” He stepped out of his hiding spot, the dungeon had hundreds of corridors to enter different places inside the dungeon, each of them was long enough that for a normal person it would take days to travel just one, but he was an A rank, a dungeon master and now, a demi-god, this corridors were nothing.

  The moment he stepped out of that corridor, waves of soldiers started to swarm him, their black figures crushing each other trying to kill Jaul first.

  But he would not allow that.

  “[Overdrive]” His own personal skill, he knew of no one else who had that skill, and even the system said it was a new discovery.

  “Let’s go... I’m not going to hell alone!” His body full of electricity jumped into the wave of soldiers, the soldiers apparently crushing him with their weight, but the next moment, all the soldiers were pushed into the walls by an explosion of electricity.

  That was way too weak... stupid spears!

  The soldiers always took a while to regenerate after being destroyed, so he had some time to find one of the 3 bastards that had the power of a S rank. Technically speaking, S rank wasn’t high, not when immortal beasts capable of breaking that barrier exist, but humans can’t break that barrier, they are forever trapped in the maximum rank of S.

  So, any human of the S rank has achieved their peak, but all of Jaul’s investigation had 1 goal, to break that barrier, the corruption? A tool to leave his mortal body, his dungeon? A tool to trick the world, but were a true answer, he knew it.

  But nothing mattered anymore, years of research and work were going to disappear if he died, he needed to survive, humanity would rise to fight those immortal monsters, and he would be the one to create that path, everyone would follow him and he would be able to become a king!

  He turned to the left, where there were new soldiers waiting for him.

  “I don’t have time for this shit...” He took a deep breath “[Laser Cannon]” Laser cannon was one of his first skills, and it grew with him, right now that skill was enough to completely clean the halls from these soldiers before they woke again, just as that lizard.

  Metal appeared around him as part of his mana was drained to create a new core for the cannon, a light beam was shot from the cylinder super charged with his mana, sadly, he couldn’t create anything more sophisticated without proper preparations, he explored the halls of his dungeon for what felt like hours, no sign of the S rank soldiers anywhere.

  “Fucking spear!” He looked at his hand; the spear was now the size of his arm; it was hard to not stab himself with it, and even harder to not lose his strength. He had yet to find one of the S ranks, and his strength was close to hitting the B rank.

  Until one appeared, a woman made of shadows and black blood, the blood of the lizard, she was wearing a simple shirt with some simple pants that looked way too big for her.

  “Do you even count as a soldier? You don’t have a single piece of armor” He said laughing, trying to get a reaction from her, but it did nothing. Her facial features didn’t change in the slightest, but her eyes looked at him.

  No, not at him, but at the spear growing on him.

  “???” She pointed at his spear, Jaul couldn’t even know why he hadn’t attacked yet, or why the soldiers that were following him stopped the moment he found her.

  “?????? ??? ?????? ?? ???” He couldn’t comprehend what she was saying, he knew dozens of languages, but not this one, this one was alien, not from ???? ????.

  “??? ?? ??? ?????????, ?????? ??, ??? ?????? ???” He didn’t understand a thing, but he didn’t like it, he was going to make that woman eat her words, whatever they were.

  “I didn’t come here to chat, I came to fight” His [Overdrive] was activated once again to its maximum power, lightning reinforcing his muscle and veins. He had to end it fast, or his body would explode.

  “???? ???????”

  At last, he identified it.

  “First time being reckless, let's do it!”

  He dashed at the woman, his left hand closing into a fist, he couldn't use his right hand right now, so he had no choice.

  The woman caught his hand easily and threw him towards a wall, but instead of crashing against it, he used the wall as a support to jump at the woman again, using his left hand to try and hit her again.

  But he didn’t try to hit her, while she was busy looking at him, his laser cannon had charged enough for another shot.

  His fist didn't land, as expected, and so she was just where he wanted her to be.

  “Shoot” He commanded the metallic cylinder, the beam of light and electricity fully hitting the woman.

  Or so he thought, in the little time from the beam being fired and the moment it would hit her, which was less than one second, she summoned a spear from her shadow and used it to block his laser.

  “You have to be kidding...”

  “?? ???? ??? ??? ????” The woman spoke once again and as before, he didn’t understand a thing.

  “You are forcing my hand here...” He truly didn't want to use more strength, not with the spear sapping his strength every time he used it, but the woman left him with no choice.

  “Laser Storm” While he had electric magic, he didn't really use it in important fights, after all, after years of using it, it had developed closer to what he liked, hence his unique skill [Laser Magic], which, even after years of using it, was still his strongest magic.

  A dozen tiny balls of energy emerged around them, while the spear continued to grow, the balls of energy fired, a dozen energy beams that were able to bounce on any surface he wished were able to bounce on, and as normally, that surface was himself and his equipment, this time though, it also included the walls of the hall.

  “I wonder how you will get rid of this” He said, trying to hide the fact that he was becoming weaker with each passing moment.

  He had expected the woman to try and defend herself while he watched her suffer trying to not get hit, after all, those lasers were pretty dang hot, but instead, she received them all head on.

  Twelve holes appeared on her body the moment the lasers touched her, that would have normally killed anyone, but he should have guessed that since the weaker soldiers were able to regenerate, so could her.

  And that’s what she did, the holes slowly closing.

  “? ???????? ????” She said, and while he didn’t understand, he could feel she was dismissing him.

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Fucking bitch!

  “Laser Storm! Laser Storm! Laser Storm! Laser Storm!” While his mana continued running dry, the spear continued to grow as new energy balls condensed around them, this time, they were way bigger, and while he truly wanted to hit her with his [Fiery Laser] He didn’t have more mana to cast the skill.

  I didn't want to this since I don't know what could happen but... Fuck it all! As childish as I’m acting right now, it doesn’t matter, as long as I kill this stupid whore!

  He grabbed the spear with his other hand and started pulling.

  While the woman was trying to dodge this time, apparently having a limited regeneration, she noticed him and what he was doing, and for some reason, she was shocked.

  “??? ??? ???????! ?? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????? ?????!” She screamed at him, he didn’t quite know if she was mad, worried or simply shocked, he assumed the last, and honestly, also liked it better if it was the last.

  “What are you saying? Can’t understand shit!” He screamed back at her, he didn’t want to talk, but that was better than thinking about the pain the spear on his hand gave him.

  “??ē’? ?????ī??, ī??’? ??ē?”

  Who said that?!

  “ī ?? ?? ??ē ī????????, ??ē ???? ??ī?? ??? ?ēē? ?? ???? ī?..."

  The voice said once again before being interrupted.

  Whoever you are, you'd better get out of my head before I electrocute my entire body, I will survive easily but you will be destroyed.

  "ī ?? ??? ī? ???? ?ē??, ī'? ī? ???? ???? ?ī??? ???"

  My... hand?

  He looked at his hand, but the only thing on his hand was the spear and he also noticed something, time seemed to have stopped around him.

  You are... the spear?

  “????'? ??ē ???ē ???? ?? ??? ??ē ?ēī??? ???? ???? ??? ??ē? ?? ???? "??ē ???ē? ?ī?ē"” The voice said while some strange feeling filled Jaul’s mind, it was... sadness?

  The other side?

  “????'? ?ī???, ?ē ?ē?ē ???? ??? ?ēē?ē? ??? ?????? ?? ?ē??? ??ēī? ???? ???ē??ī??, ??? ?ē ?ē?ē ?ē??ē?, ?ēē?ē? ?? ????ē???? ?? ???ē??ē ???? ?ī? ??? ???ē ??ē ?ī??? ?? ????ē ??, ???? ??? ?ē? ???ē? ?? ?ē??, ?ē?ē? ?ē??” The voice said, anger filled Jaul’s mind, but it wasnt his.

  “??ē? ??????, ???ē ?? ??? ?ē???ē ?ē?ī?ē? ?? ?????? ?ē?” The voice said, feeling indignified “????????, ī ????? ??? ?? ?ē???? ??? ??? ???ē ???? ???? ??? ?? ???, ???, ī ?? ?ī??ī?? ?? ?ē???ē ???? "?ē????" ??ī??ī?? ??? ????ē? ?? ???ē??ī??, ??? ???? ī? ??? ?ī?? ?ē?ē? ?ē?? ??ē? ??ē ???ē? ????”

  Jaul gulped, he had no idea who Helen Kerk could be, but if she sealed an entire dimension from contacting his dimension, she had to be strong, he knew he shouldn’t accept but... ascension, what he had been craving, if he ascended as the voice said, he could break the limit of the human body and mind, at last, he made his decision.

  “Fine I accept”

  “???? ???ī?ē, ?? ???ē ī? ?????-?ī, But you can call me Kla, what’s your name, human?” The sound of the voice became much clearer out of a sudden.

  “My name is Jaul Lefon” The moment he gave his name, time resumed and the spear oh his hand exploded in blue colors.

  The woman looked at him while dodging the laser, and laughed, a hysterical and maniacal laugh.

  “Didn't expect to see you out of everyone becoming a “weapon” so easily! Klauk-gi!” For the first time since the fight started, he was able to understand her.

  When he looked at his hand, what lay there wasn’t a spear anymore. It was a gun, a simple gun made of white metal with blue lines around it, but it felt different.

  “Since we made a pact, you can now understand our language, your welcome, also, i found it when i connected to you, check that “system” of yours” Kla said before Jaul checked the system as told.

  “Those are... some great rewards” While the first two were obvious, the “knowledge seeker” wasn't that well known, they explored the world in search for new knowledge, and while people who claim to be one 99% of the time they are faking, the true knowledge seekers gained so much money that they could practically drown on it.

  “Why bother in choosing only 1? You are the first human in a thousand years to bond with someone from there, just take it all!” Kla was right. If he wanted something, he just needed to grab it.

  “I choose everything”

  Works for me.

  “You are so dead... you fucking woman!” Jaul screamed while a white cloak, similar to his lab coat, fell on his shoulders.

  “Don't say it like that... it makes you sound like you hate women” Kla said before he shot the woman.
