Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

Is this a sex dungeon?

That was his initial thought from the shock, but in reality, he was just a bit puzzled by what he was seeing.

There were a dozen incubators scattered around the room, and he could see some larvae inside them.

"This doesn't look right..." he muttered as he took a few steps closer and tapped on one of the incubators.

He touched the soft, squishy membrane, and as he tried to dig deeper, a surprising pop-up appeared.

<Ding!>

<You're attempting to trespass into the Mimic ###'s ###!>

<It is advised you turn back!>

"I can't tell what it says," Zafira said with a frown. "Mimic's something something?"

Rael nodded. "I can't tell either. It's a bit surprising considering my eyes should see everything..."

But there had to have been a limit, and he probably encountered it right here.

Nonetheless, Zafira stashed away her lantern since the whole room was lit up with these incubators.

"Honestly... this is creepy," she added. "Not only is the smell horrible, the entire room itself doesn't look like it has an exit."

She did say that, however, since he had a map, Rael swiftly checked it out.

And similarly to before, the map showed several dozen paths, which he swiftly showed to Zafira.

It took her only a few seconds to figure out the right path again, so he followed after her, making sure not to step on something off.

Mimic dungeons though... you destroy the cores and it teleports you out. But this one is just massive, Rael thought, and just as Zafira was about to take another step, he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her back.

Immediately, one of the incubators fell where she was about to stand. However, what was even more creepy was the fact that it was empty.

But Rael didn't have to wonder long as he looked up and saw a giant moth staring right at him.

As for its level? Well...

—Horny Moth [Level 500] [25,000,000/25,000,000 HP]

A what moth...? Rael's brows twitched. Aside from that, it's Level 500...? That's not little at all.

He turned to Zafira and was about to warn her; however, it seemed like she had already dashed upward.

The moth reacted, and in the next moment, an arc of lightning appeared from out of its two antennae, heading straight for Zafira.

Rael didn't waste a moment as he took out his Violin Blade and swiftly tapped the red string with his rapier.

The sound was barely noticeable as it traveled up toward the moth, disrupted its lightning, and then coiled around its head before swiftly tightening.

Despite his precise control, it was a little overkill.

-17,246,227,651! Critical True Note! (1x Crystal Violin Blade)

A lot of overkill.

The moth literally exploded into bits and, to his genuine surprise, let out a shriek just before dying.

<Horny Moth [Level 500] Killed! Experience: +86,643>

<+43,322 Trell Acquired>

"Are you alright?" Rael asked, putting his Violin Blade aside as he caught the falling Zafira out of the air.

She had all the capabilities to simply land on her feet, but perhaps because she wanted to test him, she let him catch her instead.

"I'm fine," she replied plainly. "Though a lightning attack?"

"Yeah, it's strange," Rael added, then set her down and wiped a smudge of green blood off her cheek.

She wasn't expecting him to suddenly touch her cheek like that, so she nearly jumped up, startled.

"T-This is not the time for that," Zafira muttered with a pout.

Rael raised a brow and showed her the green blood on his fingers. "I'll flirt with you however long you want when we're out. Now's not the time though."

With that, he flicked the blood away.

Then, he quickly checked the map, pinpointed the path Zafira had found, and, by grabbing her hand, he swiftly ran toward it.

Why?

Well, the shriek was definitely not a good sign, and if he had to guess, it likely alerted the other moths inside the incubators.

Therefore, the two ran ahead, and just as they found a fork in the room, he heard a loud buzzing noise.

And as Rael looked up, he saw hundreds, if not thousands, of moths all flying toward him.

However, instead of being afraid, he saw this as an opportunity.

"Zafira, go ahead, I'll be with you in just a sec," Rael said, his smirk widening.

She tilted her head with a frown. "I'm not leaving you here."

"You won't be leaving me. I'll follow you very soon; I just don't want you to be caught up in the blast," Rael explained as he ran his fingers through her hair. "Trust me on this."

Zafira looked at him for a few moments and, with great hesitance, began making her way toward the exit.

As for him?

Rael turned to the moths, and before they could even fly a step closer, he activated a particular skill.

[MP -500M 568M/1,068B (x1 Caustic Prism Heart)]

Immediately, a giant tornado manifested out of nowhere, and what followed was a giant blue crystal rising from the very bottom of the tornado.

It seemed innocent at first, yet the moment it reached the pinnacle of the storm, the blue crystal suddenly began glowing.

And before he could realize what happened, a pulse resounded, followed by a torrent of Acid, Fire, Ice, and even Crystals shooting out everywhere.

Rael stared at the sight in shock as he saw the giant moths being obliterated by the storm.

However, as a crystal landed right beneath his feet, he realized he wasn't safe.

Therefore, taking one last glance behind himself, Rael swiftly dashed away, dodging the incoming crystals, until finally, he entered cover.

The moment he did, he felt a pull on his clothes, and as he turned to glance toward the one responsible, he saw the frowning Zafira.

"That was way too reckless," she scolded.

Just as he opened his mouth, his 1-second foresight showed him being stabbed through the chest, impaling both himself and Zafira.

So, with a panicked look, Rael kicked off the wall and avoided a sharp blue crystal from impaling them both.

Due to the urgency, he had no time to adjust, and now, he was on the ground with Zafira lying on top of him.

Her face was mere centimeters away from his, and he could feel her warm breaths on his lips.

She seemed so vulnerable and yet serious that she didn't even realize the position they were in.

Why do you have to be so effortlessly beautiful...?

Rael fought the urge to embrace her with everything he had as he slowly got up before dashing toward the moth room's exit with Zafira in a princess carry.

There was a large blue arc, almost resembling a boss room. But since he didn't have time to contemplate, he simply stepped through it.

The moment he did, hundreds of notifications assaulted him.
