26 Speedrun
Theo knew that this dungeon level is too low for them, Chiyo can level up safely but the rewards are not that big, lower risk lower rewards, Theo decided to clear the dungeon as fast as possible by going straight to the boss.
"Chiyo, change of plans, we're not going to make you train here, we'll go somewhere else but we need to finish the quest first because we need the quest reward."
"Theo, but I'm not strong enough to fight with the boss"
"Don't worry about the boss Chiyo, I'll handle it"
Theo and Chiyo proceeded to moved on clearing the dungeon floor after floor it was as if an old dude is mowing the Grass just outside his house.
It was the mob of monsters who was running away from Theo, like a predator hunting its prey.
"Gaaahhhhhh!"
"sssssshhhhhhkkk"
You can hear the sound of the monsters groan as they die, the blades as they mutilate each parts of the monsters' body, The guts, intestines, the brain, bones exposed, a pool of blood, the stench of the smell, crushed organs was flying all over the place as Theo mercilessly Kill everything on sight, all these low level mobs are not a match for Theo as they get 1 hit killed.
It was a sight for sore eyes for Theo ever since coming to this world, nothing beats the pleasure of killing monster in another world, but for Chiyo it was different, Chiyo was pale as a ghost from what she's seeing right now, but deep in her mind was an unbreakable resolve to thrive for strength, although it was nauseating to watch, Chiyo kept her eye wide open, she knew that if she wanted to grow stronger, she needed to get use to this sight.
floor after floor Chiyo was also leveling up because of the Master/apprentice relationship that is sharing 50% of the exp, which allowed Chiyo to level up quite a few times.
Chiyo's Total Lvl now is 18, all of her stats now is above 35 and her int value which is exceptionally high is now on 95, that's chiyo's stats as of now just from her stats growth, she still has 85 status points unallocated.
after reaching 10 floors below, it was finally the boss which is also the quest.
The 10th floor was a chamber with a peculiar layout, the surrounding has jail cells and the bars was extremely thick, it was as if it was use to imprison someone strong and the boss was there to prevent anyone from escaping, the inside of the jail cells are all dust and bones now.
after a minute of looking around and inspecting the surroundings, the boss finally appeared, slowly showing himself out of the dark.
*screech!*
it made a high pitch sound that was so unbearable to hear.
It was a wolf like monster, it has 6 human like hands it even has an elbow its hands were also abnormally long, each hand has 3 long sharp claws, it has no eyes or nose, all it has is a mouth that has razor like uneven teeth, it has so many teeth and because of its length he cannot close his mouth fully.

----------------------
Theo saw the stats and skills of the boss it was quite low compared to the vindicator, too bad the boss was matched against theo, because of Theo's passive skill Return damage he also return 50% of the damage received back to the damage dealer, meaning to say the Nightcrawler's Life steal would be useless against Theo even his predator passive skill would be useless because theo has no intention of running, not to mention Theo's Vit stats already gave him a boost in defense wherein he gets; Passively

-----------------------
The nightcrawler's attack is only 2,000 just from the Vit bonus he already gets 50% less damage, this boss is barely going to deal any damage.
Theo smirked then held his Staff of Destruction on his right hand, he casted Mistral weapon to convert the staff of destruction into a Labrys ( the Lydian word for the double-bitted axe) on his left hand he made the same thing.
Chiyo was getting nervous before the battle even begins, because there are only a few people in the guild that can fight a boss alone, Chiyo was about to witness a battle against A boss vs a mad man although they are not a match it was a first for chiyo to witness Theo fighting an enemy where he has to use some skills.
Theo implanted an exploding rune on his left labrys, then threw the axe directly to the boss, The labrys that was still stuck on the nightcrawler's Head detonated after Theo activated the rune
*Boooooommmm!*
the explosion was so strong and loud that it made the whole chamber tremble.
*system*
Critical Damage.
You dealt 3000hp damage.
The damage was insane, this battle may be over quickly.
"Watch closely Chiyo, this is how you're going to handle Boss fights."
Chiyo was amazed by Theo display of strength that it made her admire Theo even more.
