Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

'The strongest light element awakener in the world? That's something new.' Acht thought to himself.

He then looked at the now desolate street with a contemplating look. He then shifted his eyes and said in a serious tone.

"Now that you obliterated these orcs, you wasted a shit ton of soul stones that could've been used."

His words indeed were true, even though Leislet's power against most kinds of monsters is almost like cheating, it has one big downside…the monster will get totally destroyed while leaving nothing behind.

That meant that even if the monster was high-ranked, it wouldn't leave behind soul stones for any use.

His words made the beautiful woman cough with an awkward look. She was also regretful that that amount of soul stones was gone to waste but she had nothing else to do.

"Would you spare me the nagging, please? I don't have any other choice, hehehe." She laughed with an embarrassed look.

"Anyway, what is the situation in the other parts of the city?" He asked.

p "Not that good. I was able to clean some areas, but the other parts are still getting invaded at a rapid paste. Most of the hunters there can't really handle orcs alone…Sigh, what a pain in the ass. But, it won't be for long, help is probably already there." She sighed quietly as she looked at the rubble of the collapsed building.

"But, I have to say…your methods are very original. No one would've thought you could've beaten that orc."

She had reached the area when the building had already collapsed but she had a rough idea of what happened. That made her interest in Acht deepen even more.

He was such an odd boy that she couldn't hold herself from being even more curious about his origins.

"I still am not sure if it's dead or not." He said as he approached the rubble carefully to check on the orc chief.

"It really made me fall into a desperate state. A-Rank monsters are still something I can't beat. Not for now at least."

Leislet looked at his back for a moment and then followed him with a weird look plastered on her face.

Acht then got rid of the rubble and the huge boulders covering the body. He was not feeling any aura from the monster so he felt relief since that meant it was most likely dead.

After getting rid of it all, he finally found the disfigured body of the dead monster. Its limbs were bent at a weird angle and its abdomen and head were flattened like paper sheets.

It was a very hideous site but Acht totally ignored it and just got his knife out to start opening up the chest to get the soul stone. Getting the soul stone of an A-Rank monster was like winning the lottery for him.

But, as his hand was about to move, Leiselt grabbed it and stopped him in his tracks.

"Wait for a second."

"What?" He questioned her with a puzzled face.

"Let me check the monster first. There is something weird."

Acht didn't know what she meant but he still backed away and gave her some space.

Then, Leislet reached out for the monster and touched its forehead. A small light shot out of her hand and into the monster's body.

Then, after a few seconds, Leislet opened her closed eyes with a shocked look. It was the first time Acht saw her react like that.

"What's up?"

"This monster…."

She had to breathe a few times before she could even gain the ability to speak.

"It's not the dungeon boss…"

"...What?"

"This monster is not the dungeon boss! It's another one of the normal mobs." She said with a clear panic in her tone. She wasn't totally freaked out, but she was disturbed enough for her voice to waver.

'What?! How could that be?! Isn't that a B-Rank dungeon?' Acht's head was filled with one question after the other.

He was already aware that in each dungeon, the boss monster would always be one rank higher than the dungeon itself. This means that for example if a dungeon is C-Rank then the boss monster would be a B-Rank monster and that applies to all ranks.

But, in this case, this A-Rank monster was not the boss which means that the boss would be an S-Rank or higher.

"Are you really sure about it? It could just be a miscalculation from your side" he tried to reason with her. But, Leislet shook her head.

"No. This is definitely not it. I can know for sure if I sense its soul energy circulation. Dungeon bosses always have this particular way of using their soul force and this one–albeit stronger than the other orcs–has the same way of circulating mana as the others so it's definitely just a mob."

"Then, where is the dungeon boss?"

"It's probably still inside the dungeon. But, it can appear at any time. This is really bad."

Then, Leislet immediately stood up and took out her phone.

"Call each and every family and guild in the kingdom for a meeting as soon as possible. We have an irregular dungeon with a potential S-Rank or higher boss. Also, start the evacuation process now!" Leislet said with a serious tone.

As she spoke, Acht looked in the direction of the dungeon with his eyes squinted. He didn't know why, but he felt like there was something pulling him to look there.

He didn't sense it before, but now, he felt a slight pressure coming from that place. It was very faint and almost too weak to even consider it as soul pressure. Yet, somehow, that minuscule power was more than enough to make him feel uncomfortable looking there.

He had no idea what kind of abomination could emit such a stupidly strong aura from this large distance and he preferably doesn't want to know.

'This is getting really out of hand.' Acht thought to himself with a sigh.
