As time passed, Dylan fought and killed many different kinds of monsters, some were goblins and kobolds, others were giant ants, trolls, ogres, and many more strong and cunning monsters.
And those cunning monsters were a pain in the ass for Dylan as they used everything in the environment to try and kill him, they even used their comrades as a shield or a bait before delivering their powerful attacks to him and many more methods that made his fights against them exhausting and tiring.
He surly suffered against them, but that gave him a new insight on how to use his surroundings for his benefit when fighting a strong enemy.
Along the way, he absorbed their souls and got a lot stronger reaching the level of those B or A rank hunters, but he still got no mana or else he would be more than an A rank hunter even getting closer to those S rank—that's what he thought because he didn't have any determinant on how strong he became or something to compare to.
However, he didn't care about all of that and only the thought of surviving this world and going back to his world safely was in his mind.
The world was ruthless and merciless toward him as the more he got stronger, the stronger the monsters that came at him, it wasn't like that at the beginning where most of the monsters were weaker than him or at the same level. Now, wherever he goes, he will always find a monster lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity to kill him and feed on his body.
Dylan slept less and fought more due to that. He would always find a new kind of monsters that was deadlier than the other, it gave him a headache but at the same time a will to survive this gruelling and unforgiven world and get stronger.
It seems that the world is finally baring its fangs at Dylan. At the beginning it seemed like it was playing with him or testing him but now, things were different, merciless environment, ferocious monsters that sought for blood and flesh.
Slowly but surly, Dylan was changing from the outside as well as inside, from the outside, his body was becoming more toned and sculptured with muscles underneath his skin that he could break a boulder with his bare hands and more if he used his full strength, all his attributes increased to astonishing levels.
Then from the inside, he felt like he was losing something important to him, some of his feelings were fading away the more he killed and witnessed the dark reality in front of him.
He saw it, how the monsters treated each other, how they fought for survival and how no one cared for the other only for themselves. The look in their eyes while running at him, those eyes filled with hunger and greed as they attacked him, the way they even hit and killed each other just to take Dylan for themselves as if he was some fine piece of meat.
The Law of the jungle.
This reminded him of this rule, thus Dylan slowly was changing, losing himself in the battles of blood and death where one mistake was the end.
And not ignore the fact that he was alone in this world without any company except for the six demons inside him, maybe that was the ony thing that kept him from losing his mind and sanity.
The time passed quickly that he didn't feel it at all, maybe because he was so indulged in battles against those bloodthirsty monsters that he lost the sense of time.
Well, it was already lost long time ago.
Currently, Dylan was standing on the rocky hill that looked beyond a land filled with rocks and and rocks with no tree in the horizon or a source of food or water.
Luckily, absorbing the souls of the dead monsters was both food and drink at the same time, feeding his body and nurturing him in a way.
"Haah, that was a hell in itself, but really, a dragon?! That was a surprise." Dylan exclaimed as he sighed as he looked back at the corpse of a brown dragon, it looked more like a dinosaur than a dragon though but it was hella strong.
Well, from what he knew from the six demons, it was a sub-spices of the earth dragons.
"Anyway, I think I reached the bottleneck." He muttered as he looked at the long beautiful katana in his hands. During that time, he advanced in his sword mastery due to the countless fights he had until he reached the last and top level which was the Ultimate Swordsmanship.
But then, he felt that he reached a bottleneck as if there was something that blocked his path to move forward to the last step that with it would be considered a finish or maybe open a new realm of mastery to him.
Right at that moment, the sword felt like an extension of his body making it that if somebody tried to go against him in one on one sword fight, Dylan would sweep the floor with him.
The fight won't last a moment before his opponent will find himself dead not knowing how he died.
But right now, Dylan felt like missing something to complete his sword mastery and become a sword master.
"Hmm... I don't know what to do, do I go and fight more monsters or what?" He contemplated while holding his chin with his right hand with a frown adoring his handsome face before suddenly, a voice interrupted him.
[I think It's finally the time, dear Dylan~] the voice belonged to a mature woman, it was alluring and so captivating that could make you aroused.
"What do you mean?" He asked with intrigued voice as he didn't understand what she meant.
He was met with silence before from his body, a black thick smoke began to seep like a curtain made of silk.
It surprise him but didn't make him panic as he didn't feel any danger from it, so he watched with confused eyes trying to know what was happing.
But then he noticed that the smoke gathered in front of him at one point before it rose and slowly began to take the shape of a human body.
Focusing with his eyes on the black smoke, he noticed some features of this human body in the making, it was curvy and looked quite alluring giving Dylan an understanding that it was a woman's body.
After some more seconds, the smoke slowly dispersed revealing the figure behind it.
And seeing her, Dylan's eyes widened to the limit from shock and disbelief.
Why?
Because he knew who was this person in front of him very well, he saw her many times before and was actually an admirer of her.
This very long dark black hair that fall down to her ankles like a waterfall with the tips had a reddish hue, those deep black eyes that looked like an abyss making those who looked at them completely entranced and out of their mind.
Her tall figure that was slightly shorter than Dylan along with those sexy curves hidden underneath her black kimono, those delicious rosy lips that makes you want to get a bite and that smile that looked so arousing.
But all of that seemed like a facade as underneath all of this allure and beauty, lay a very dangerous being that could cut you with just a thought.
Her being screamed of danger and that made Dylan shudder and felt as if there was a sharp blade on his neck ready to cut his head off with just a heartbeat.
Dylan knew this woman so well and very well, no, he was very sure of it for she was—
"It's nice to finally meet you, dear Dylan~"
