I could barely stand. My stomach was completely open. One of my eye was gouged out. My wings also were ripped. I could only stand by leaning on my spear since both of my legs were broken. Around me lied countless corpses. Blood flowing from them were pulled towards me. Blood Stone kept absorbing them.

(Kill 200 monsters in one hit. Difficulty A. Cleared. All stats are increased by 5.)

(Do you want to proceed to 4th floor?)

When I opened my mouth to answer only blood came out. I looked around. What remained from this entire city were gone. All the little signs that showed people lived here were destroyed in our battle. If I could feel anything else but pain, I would feel sad. But now I had no feeling in my body except pain. All of my rage was burned during my battle. I looked at the Beast of Calamity. Countless wounds covered its body. Some of them deeper than my own. Yet it still didn't die due those wounds. Only after I cut its head I could kill it. Even after that it still moved for a solid hour. Fucking cockroach. Then again maybe I am also a cockroach, considering I am still alive like this.

"Hell, I am even more of a cockroach than him."

Since I am the one that survived while it died. I also felt slightly better now that I was able to speak. My lungs were healed enough. I slowly let myself fall. I sat down on the ground. I closed my eyes. The moment I closed my eyes I lost my consciousness. I saw several nightmares in my sleep. Probably due my wounds and trauma I gained through fightning. The moment I opened my eyes I forgot what they were about. Only thing I remembered was the fact that they made me feel like shit. But good new is when I woke up I nearly fully healed up. My eye, lungs and even wings. Only part that not healed up was my right arm. I looked at it bitterly. Maybe because I lost it before getting Regeneration? If that's the case, this system is very shitty. I stood up.

"Urgh!"

I realized how weak I was as I stood up. I nearly fell to ground. That fight seemed to took a lot of me. I could recover while hunting smaller mobs in next floor. But first…

"Devourer."

I touched Calamity's body.

"Beast of Calamity "Black Dog" was absorbed. You can choose one of three skills.)

3 not 2. Considering how tough this bastard was it is not a suprise.

(Passive skill Abnormal Condition Resistance)

(Passive skill Human Slaughter)

(Active skill Howling of Disaster)

"Give me Abnormal Condition Resistance."

(Passive skill Abnormal Condition Resistance is acquired. Passive skill Curse Resistance is being absorbed to it.)

(You lost passive skill Curse Resistance.)

(Abnormal Condition Resistance became level 2.)

Sinces curses were counted as abnormal condition it absorbed it? As long as it gave me benefits of it I had no problems.

"Now, what the fuck I am going to do with you?"

I looked at the red horn as big as me just standing beside me. I felt immense magic power coming from it. But I had no idea how I could use it.

"How I am supposed to carry this shit while fighting?"

I touched it. It felt like bone.

"Fafnir's Horn, huh?"

Fafnir was a dragon as I know it. And now I held a part of it.

"Wait. Can I use Devourer on it?"

But I just used it. I had to wait for a day to try. But I couldn't just sit here and wait. I still had to clear 4 floors. I also had a Divine Beast chasing after my ass.

"And I also need to fix the shitstorm Lucy caused."

While I told her that I would kill myself to get revenge against her, that would solve nothing. Surely, all the humans in the Earth haven't been wiped out. I had to return here to wipe out whatever Lucy unleashed upon this place.

"Until that I hope that they would survive."

Humans had advanced weaponry. While some countries may have been wiped out, there should be safe havens somewhere.

"If not then I don't know what I am going to do."

But that's after saving Minerva. Now focus on her. But before going to next floor I wanted to cheek out something.

(Blood Stone 15 percent filled.)

Only 15 percent? After killing that much monsters it only filled 15 percent?

"She should have given me earlier."

Is what I thought but I didn't said it out loud. I didn't wanted to admit she helped me. I didn't wanted to be indebted to her. I didn't wanted to think about her. I put my spear to my mouth and grabbed to horn.

"Let's go."

I felt the feeling of now familiar shifting of dimensions. When I opened my eyes, I was in a maze.

"Well, shit."

I had no sense of directions. But I also didn't have to walk in here. I transformed my wings and jumped. After going high as 10 meters I hit my head and fell to ground. Luckily, I was able to land safely without breaking anything. Walls here were over 10 meters. So I couldn't just find my way by looking over.

(Labyrinth has a magical field preventing beings from flying.)

System notified me.

"Very well. Let's try something else."

Lightning Clad covered my body. I also used Aura Manipulation. Now my aura also reinforced and strengthed my body too.

"Ragh!"

I smashed one of the walls. Debris flew everywhere. I watched as wall tried to rebuild itself like Jasper's Castle but it failed so. It was almost like something prevented it from rebuilding it. I crumbled to dust everytime rocks came close to closing it.

"Does this?"

(Passive skill Destruction Incarnate: A skill that proves you are one of the Calamity. Every Calamity has their own skill to create as much as disaster as possible. Yours gives you correction for destroying things. Once you destroyed something it cannot be built back without extraordinary means.)

I see. I didn't liked that I was called a Calamity but power it gave were nice. Especially nice now since I didn't had to navigate this maze now. I could just create my own path by destroying walls.

"Time to go full monke."

I rotated my aura. Using my aura and lightning I started to break down walls. They were at least several meters thick. Also they were sturdy enough to not crumble down from me hitting them once. I avoided making any Gurren Lagann references and worked diligently. My aura wasn't limited. While only time I reached the limit of it was during my battle against Calamity, I still had to be careful. If I spent all of my resources and stamina breaking down walls, I wouldn't be able to fight to my fullest against monsters here. After blowing a hole big enough to let me pass I looked at the horn I was carrying. Opening wasn't big enough for me to pass with it. So I pushed it first. When I did that I realized that I made a little miscalculation.

"It got stuck."

Since horn was around my size I thought it would pass through. But I couldn't push it. I looked at corners to see where I should break. When I was trying to find an easy place to break…

"It's closing?"

Wait, I thought the things I destroyed couldn't be built back!

(Labyrinth itself is created by extraordinary magic engineering.)

Shit, so I could only slow it. If I took too long to break down a hole for myself it would form again. I sighed.

"As if I didn't had enough things making me hurry."

Minerva, Owl, Lucy and state of Earth. I already trying my best, goddamnit! I don't need other things to push me! Feeling pissed of more than ever I enlarged the hole and pushed horn out. I also didn't waited any second on other side. If wall closed suddenly I didn't wanted to lose a reward from A difficulty quest. But now that I knew going through walls was an option I could relax a little bit.

"Even though it will be harder than I originally thought."

A little bit extra difficulty wasn't new. But the two monsters looking at me were definitely new.

"What are you looking at? Do I look like a train from there?"

Sounding like a highschool bully I pointed my spear towards them.
