I immediately woke up and prepare for a fight after feeling something disturbing the detection magic I had put 50 meters around the tree.

It was eerily quiet but something was off I could feel something enveloping the surroundings.

Bloodlust, it was all over the place and a strong one at that, it was enough to make the weak willed monsters run away while the stronger ones stay away.

Something with such a domineering aura should not appear here yet, there is really something strange right now.

I look at the direction where the detection magic was triggered and see something in the distance, I could not make the figure out clearly, but I can see the three pairs of red glowing eyes full of killing intent, it was currently ripping another monster into shreds with it's teeth as it tried to resist.

I look at the creature for a while with weapons in hand, prepared for anything to come.

The creature suddenly turns it's eyes to me detecting my presence from such a far distance.

Shit! the concealing magic I had on was so easily seen through, adrenaline started to make it's way in my body as I prepared to face a powerful foe.

I know a lot of monsters that could easily detect me from a father range with my concealing magic on, but even after dying countless times this is the first monster that was able to detect my cloaking magic in this room.

It stares at me with it's red glowing eyes for a while sending a tremendous amount of killing intent at my direction as if seeing how I'll react.

I continue to stare back at the beast while sending out killling intent of my own, after spending an unimaginably long amount of lite in this dungeon, I have learned to cancel out fear a long time ago, for panicking would only make me eaiser to kill. 

The monster makes the first move and prepares to dash, in an instant his figure disappeared from his last position and suddenly reappeared in front of me, I jump to the left as soon as it entered my field of vision hoping to dodge the attack.

I was grazed by the attack but even that was enough to send me flying.

In a split second I was able to get a good look at the creature, it resembled the dogs I saw in books I found before, but this one was much bigger, it was almost as big as the obsidian cyclops that killed me last time, also it had fur which was pure black in color, it's eyes were red like blood and on each of it's three heads were two goat horns, the claws and teeth had a similar color to the eyes and looked sharp enough to rip through steel like leaves, it was like a hound from hell.

"Gah!"

Shit! I flew in the air as a result of being grazed and crash into a big rock a few meters away that halted the momentum from the strike.

I get up from the ground without minding the numbing pain, my left arm was completely broken when I tried to use in to protect my vitals a split moment before the attack connected but the attack still managed to break some ribs.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

I immediately chant and cast [Heal] on by arm, for a short moment a golden light enveloped my left arm and mended part of the damage, soon I was able to effectively use my left arm once more.

I look at the hound that dealt such a large amount of damage of me as I try to read it's next move.

The hound suddenly gave out a head splitting howl that shook the ground, I grit my teeth and shut my ears, but even after using my hands to cover my ears I was still only barely able to keep my consciousness.

Seeing me disoriented the hound didn't spare a second and opened it's jaws, the surrounding air heated up and a reddish orange glow came up from it's mouth.

It shot out a massive burst of red hot flames towards me, burning everything in it's path, leaving only ashes of whatever it touches.

I jump to the left once again attempting to dodge the flames that cut through the air.

This time I was able to dodge without taking any damage except for some charred rags on my body.

The flames dissipated showing the smoke rising up from the intensely charred earth that tried to stand it's way.

The hound easily found me inside the smoke and charges, this time I was able to follow it's movements and instead of moving to the side I jump above it.

It's swipes it's baw in an amazing speed stroking the tree behind me, and as a result the tree gets uprooted and is blown dozens of meters away.

I land behind the hound after just barely being able to dodge, I waste no time and create distance between the two of us by running way from it as fast as my legs could.

The hound, like an angry incarnation of destruction charges after me while turning anything that dare stands in it's way was turned to shreds.

With only one chance left of surviving I take the chance and bite my thumb.

Blood starts flowing out of the wound and immediately I use the blood to make magic symbols on my palm and aimed my hand at the quickly approaching monster.

"Try and dodge this!"

[Dark Burst] activates immediately because of the blood that was used in casting the magic which acted as a catalys, a blinding burst of concentrated purple light erupts from my palm.

The hound tries it's beast to dodge but still gets caught up in the blast.

The purple light cut's through everything in it's path, trees, earth, stones and monsters alike were turned to dust as the spell came through like a raging storm.

"Hah... Hah... Hah..."

After a few seconds the light dissapears and the massive amount of destruction came into view, but I don't let my gaurd down for a second to search for the hound's remains.

Shit! It was still alive! It was not able to fully dodge the attack and got it's third head completely torn off from the body and was seriously injured on other parts of it's body, but it was still alive.

The hound once again open's it's mouth and the air starts to heat up, it was preparing to cast it's fire breath once again.

I need to to kill it now if I want to survive!

I start using my blood to make another type of magic symbols as fats as I could, no longer caring about the little mana I still had remaining.

Purple chains burst out from the ground and entangles the hound's entire body rendering it unable to move, it struggles but it was of no use.

I vomit some blood but continue to cast another spell knowing that the chains wont hold up for long.

As I finished writing the last magic symbol, a burst of pure darkness erupts from the ground enveloping the chained hound making short work of it, not even dust remained of the hound.

I did it!

I suddenly felt a great sense of accomplishment after defeating the hell hound which was centainly much stronger than me.

The excitement didn't last long as I felt my body get enveloped in a numbing pain, blood comes up from my nose, ears and eyes, My vision became blurry and In started to lose balance.

Shit! I was too careless and expended too much mana, blood comes up from my throat forcing me to vomit, my vision also starts to darken as I fall to the ground.

I... Can't... Die... Now...
