chapter 4
After I mastered the skills I bought from the store to a sufficient level, I entered the second floor of the dungeon through the teleportation circle, what I found on the other side left me completely speechless.
It was Jungle full of wild feelings like Lions, Tigers, Leopards and so on, Normally it would not have been a problem for me to defeat them if not for a small problem.
THESE THINGS WERE AS LARGE AS AN ELEPHANT!!!!
And so, I spent the next few days hunting these oversized cats and had many near-death situations that made me regret ever entering this dungeon, but finally, after an entire week, I managed to find the Boss of this floor and just like the previous Boss, this one was also an Undead and was easily recognizable as Leone from Akame Ga Kill.

And true to her counterpart in the Anime and manga, she was one hell of a fighter, evident by my badly bruised body and her pristine condition.
Every time I closed the distance and tried to strike her using my martial arts, she easily countered all of them. When I targeted her temples like with Mine, She dodges the attack easily and counters with a blow either towards my solar plexus or towards my Diaphram, I narrowly dodge her attacks every time and her sharp claws were not helping at all.
But as I continued to fight, I started to find a pattern, she never attacked first and only center attacks when I initiate an attack, so I tried to stay still and try to recover my strength, which proved to be a bad move, thus my bruised body. Apparently, she hated waiting and started to become more aggressive, reducing my chances of survival by a lot.
This leads us to the current situation.
I continued to study her fighting pattern and managed to find openings for me to dodge her blows and initiate counter-attacks which started to slowly drain her HP, now if only I could land a blow on her head to get some time-
Any further thoughts were stopped when a fist connected directly with my chest, I felt as if an elephant had decided to breakdance repeatedly on my chest, I saw through clouded vision as blood flew from my mouth, I felt as if I was breathing flames and my lungs were burning, I felt my heart stop momentarily.
And then the Gamer's body skill kicked in.
Suddenly, my vision cleared and all the pain left me, I could still feel that my heart was not beating in the right way and I still felt my lungs having difficulty taking in air, but I was now clear-headed and ready to fight again, and then I looked at my status.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level: 30
HP: 500/1300
MP: 600/840
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn!!, that hit directly took 500 HP from my health, I cannot get hit another time unless I want to die, which I do not.
Suddenly, I felt the air being displaced by tremendous force as I turned back, Time slowed down as I watched the fist of the woman headed straight for my head, I knew that there was no way for me to dodge in time, this time I would definitely die. I closed my eyes and thought back to the first and only time I felt this helpless, the day of my first assassination, the day I took the life of another for the first time, I remember the feeling of the gun's hammer cocking back in anticipation, the feeling when it hit the bullet casing, the feeling of the friction between the bullet and the chamber as it left the gun.
Suddenly, I felt a strange warm feeling origination from my soul and traveling throughout my body, I felt it enhancing and replacing the weaknesses in my body that I did not even know existed, I felt strength unlike any other.
One moment, I was watching the fist coming close to my head, promising certain death, the next moment, I was standing a few feet away from her and watching as her fist struck the earth, blowing a crater in it. I also felt as if my body was on fire, every muscle fiber in my legs screamed in pain as they were torn apart.

Suddenly, the pain in my legs disappeared as I used the only healing potion I had and dismissed the string of messages from the system. just looking at the words Lightsaber and Force manipulation was enough to make me giddy.
Now I finally had the long-range attacks and reach advantage I so desperately needed against Lionel.
I immediately equipped the lightsaber and started the counter-attack.
With my Lightsaber in hand, I had effectively stopped her from closing the distance between us in the same way Mine did to me on the previous floor.
I immediately used a Force choke on her but due to the low level, I only managed to stop her momentarily, enough for me to start my center attack.
I swung my saber in an arc aimed towards her neck, she bent back to avoid it, only for me to use Force push to push her away a few feet, breaking her balance, I immediately followed up with a downward slash, she avoided by hastily stepping to the side, I followed up with an awkward hook which she blocked easily, as expected by me, I immediately jumped and planted both of my feet on her chest with enough force to throw her a few feet away and crash into the wall of the cave we were in.
I followed up with a thrust aimed at her heart, she narrowly avoided it, but still ended up being pierced through her shoulder, I immediately used a Force Push to press her against the cave walls, immobilizing her, I did not waste any time and swung my saber which was still stuck in her shoulder in an arc, removing her head from her body.
