Alex stepped into the next floor, and unlike the previous ones, this one was totally different; it was a vast hall with tall pillars. Atop those pillars were flames that illuminated the room.
Rumble!
The moment Alex entered, there was a rumbling sound followed by the flames atop the pillars flickering for a moment before a terrifying roar resonated through the whole, shaking it, then it's appeared.
From a extremely large magic circle, over thirty meters, a monster appeared. No calling abomination would be more correct.
A monster over 30m in length, seven heads with long snake-like necks, sharp fangs, and dark red eyes. Comparable to the Hydra of the myths.
''Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!"
The hydra roared; its roar sent shockwaves through the air; Alex glided across the floor, doing his best not to be sent flying; he protected his eardrums as he felt like they would have ruptured if he did nothing.
Suddenly, there was seven pair of eyes that stared at Alex as it gave off a strange roar. It seemed to want to bring judgment upon the intruders who didn't know his place and dared to intrude upon this sacred ground. Then a fierce thirst for blood that would have stopped an ordinary man's heart was flung at Alex. One of the heads, Red in color, opened its mouth as flames emitted from it. The flames were already massive and acted like a flame thrower that came in Alex's direction.
Alex accel-ed left and right to dodge the dangerous attack, just as he left the hard floor was scorched so badly that it started to show sign of melting, one should know that dungeon's wall, floor were made of highly durable materials, so for it to be almost melted, those flames mustn't be ordinary.
''What the hell?" Alex said as he dodged another flame thrown at him; never in his wildest dreams thought he would encounter such a monster; this could be considered an apex predator.
Staring at the seven different heads, Alex unconsciously gulped.
〖Master be careful. This monster is nothing like anything you have ever faced. Whatever is behind this door is worth the trouble for this kind of monster to guard it.〗Silveria warned her master, unlike Alex, she had immediately understood how dangerous this monster was after seeing the seven different heads; it took Alex some time to understand.
''Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The hydra opened its seven heads and roared.
Rumble!
Alex quickly crossed his arms as he was sent flying by the terrible shockwaves produced by the seven heads. Landing on the other side, Alex immediately skat down to dodge the attack fired by the green head, few strands of Alex's hair got cut off by the sharp green blades; if he were waiting by a millisecond, his head would have separated from his body, this gave Alex goosebumps all over his body.
Alex accel-ed to reappear on the monster, armed with his two guns which shined silver; he kicked off the ground to do a backflip to dodge another attack, this time, it was water whip coming from the dark blue head. Still, in the motion of descending, Alex fired a Phantom bullet with a standard piercing bullet at the red head.
Fwoosh! Boom!
These two bullets combined and reached an extremely shocking speed; before the hydra could move its head, the red one it got blown away, it exploded beautifully.
Normally, successfully blowing apart one of the seven heads should have brought Alex joy; however, unexpectedly, it was the contrary, under his astonished face, the white head shinned and the red head that just got blown away was restored to how it was like nothing had just happened a few seconds ago.
''You gotta be kidding me! What is this?" Alex cursed his bad luck; when he saw the seven different heads and witnessed three different heads fire different attacks, he knew this thing was beyond the scope of a regular monster. Seven different heads: Red, Dark Blue, Blue, Green, Deep Yellow, Black, and White.
To further confirm his doubt, Alex used the Eye of Truth on the monster; then, he got the shock of his life.

''A fucking Rank 13 with seven attributes and totally broken stats. I concur that those seven attributes are: Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Earth, Dark, and Light element.''
〖You almost got it perfectly right. However, you missed one, deep yellow its Lightning!〗Silveria hadn't finished speaking when the deep yellow head opened its head, and an enormous blue lightning bolt was sent in Alex's direction. Alex's eyes widened, he focused all his attention on the incoming attack, sweat dripped from his forehead as the concentration was at his max, just millisecond from his body, Alex's lips curved into a sinister smile.
''Shadow Shift!"
The hydra soon found its body shifted, passing through the fabric of space to reappear exactly where its prey should be, then the blue lightning struck.
Si~ Si~ Kaboom!
"Kuruuaan!""""""
The Hydra emitted inhumane sounds that made the pillars shake violently, Alex who just switched places with the monster, was forced to Accel to a safe distance as the ground kept shaking like a type 5 earthquake was taking place.
The Hydra didn't like the fact that its own attack struck him back, the level of threat Alex represented skyrocketed, if previously he was at Level 2, an insignificant ant, then this time it increased to Level 5 due to the unusual abilities this human possessed, being an intelligent monster born out of the dungeon with a specific purpose, the Hydra knew better than anybody what would happen if he ever fails, so he must not fail, he must quickly eliminate this intruder to go back to his eternal rest until the next time, the dungeon next apparition.
While the monster raised Alex's priority, the latter was thinking about finally using his unused BP; facing this abomination, not making use of his saved-up SP would be a foolish thing to do.
