Rey advanced as he utilized the only three Fire Spells he could properly use.

The other Spells related to Fire Magic either drained too much Mana or would not be very optimal to use in an underground structure.

'And this isn't really so bad.' Rey told himself as he traversed the cavernous space.

As he trampled atop the burned bodies of his victims, Rey felt something curious tugging at his heart.

'Why am I not really moved? Isn't it odd?'

From what he had read or learned about situations like this, most first-timers ended up being very scared or nervous when confronted with monsters.

That was why Dungeon exploration was usually done in teams.

Experienced individuals would often lead the team in order to prevent an absolute breakdown or chaos among their ranks.

'Yet here I am, completely alone, yet I'm not losing my shit…'

Rey didn't even have a passive Skill that told him he had to be calm or anything, and it wasn't like he hadn't been jumpscared a few times since he began this adventure.

But, for the majority of the time spent here, he genuinely didn't feel nervous or scared.

'Is it because I read up so much about them that seeing the real thing didn't bother me anymore?'

That couldn't be the case, considering how many scholars often froze up when confronted with the real-life manifestations of the things they studied.

Rey explored various explanations, but after everything he settled on one.

"I don't know." He sighed.

All he knew was that he was enjoying himself, and it felt good to do so.

After Rey walked further for a while longer, he finally encountered an area with a lot more Mana Crystals than the previous areas.

The stones gleaned so brightly that it made Rey's Brid obsolete.

"There's lots of energy here. I guess that means I'm close to the Boss." He grinned.
