The supermarket used to be the biggest in the city before it turned into a dungeon. When Radmilo entered there, he could see the supermarket building, which had not been completely damaged. However, the building was not maintained since it was abandoned.

Weeds grew around the building. The paint on the walls was peeling, while the shelves inside were damaged and rusty. It seemed the shelves were broken due to the fight between hunters and monsters. Cracks and holes were also visible on the walls.

Radmilo was not sure what type of monster was in the dungeon. He did not do many raids in Australia. However, he could guess the monsters he would face from the surroundings of the dungeon.

The dungeon was confirmed to have just appeared a few weeks ago. The peeling wall paint indicated that it had been frequently exposed to water, as did the rusted shelves.

The shelves were inside the building but rusted faster as if they had been left in a long rain. That meant the monster inhabiting the dungeon was an aqua-type monster.

"Can a creature like you die?" Radmilo asked Lefter while taking out his flame sword.

Lefter shook his head in doubt "I don't know since this is the first time I have come to earth. But all the prime movers who have come here have never been injured or died. It seems like there is nothing on earth that can kill them."

"Ah, I see. It's your people who gave humans the power. That means you guys are stronger than us, right?"

"Let's say so."

"Then, I don't need to protect you."

Radmilo gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and started walking down the supermarket building. However, he could not find the monster he was looking for. Aqua-type monsters were hard to find because they could hide anywhere, like in a mineral bottle.

The supermarket refrigerators did not fall to pieces as most shelves did. There were still some drinks in there. The aqua monster could be hiding there.

However, Radmilo must be careful. The Guild Union banned several high-level dungeons because they were inhabited by aqua-type monsters. The reason was that the monsters were too dangerous.

Aqua-type monsters were mostly in the form of water or fish. The dangerous ones were the water monsters. They could enter the human body through the mouth, nose, or ears. If they managed to enter, then they would freeze themselves and that would cause human organs to stop functioning.

Special potions could still prevent the freeze effect of mid-level monsters. Nevertheless, Radmilo remained cautious as he swung his sword at the refrigerator. He slashed all the drink bottles but no monster appeared.

"It seems they are afraid of me," Lefter suddenly spoke while looking at the water coming out of a mineral water bottle. "Do you really have to fight this monster?"

Radmilo nodded in response. Meanwhile, Lefter deactivated his magic earpiece and started speaking in his language.

The boy reactivated his earpiece and looked at Radmilo. "Well, now you can fight this monster."

"What were you talking about with that monster?" Radmilo was suspicious since monsters could understand human languages, like Clem and Zivile. However, Lefter chose to use his language.

"I will tell you later. Good luck!"

Radmilo looked at Lefter who was leaving while waving his hand. The boy's back slowly disappeared from his sight. A moment after that, the puddle on the floor suddenly stirred and flew up into the air.

The water did not run into anything. It was just water floating in the air. Radmilo immediately determined that what he was about to face was a water monster.

In an instant, the water in the air transformed into hundreds of arrows and froze. It aimed to attack Radmilo using sharp arrows.

However, all of the arrows were destroyed by Radmilo's sword. The ice fragments that fell to the floor instantly melted under the influence of the fiery blade, but they quickly reformed into arrows.

"You suck. But you can be counted on. Do you want to collaborate with me?" Radmilo tried to communicate while avoiding the arrows attacking from various angles.

The water monster gave no response. It understood Radmilo's words but preferred to ignore him. Arrow attacks started to become ineffective, even though other hunters usually could not keep up with its speed in changing shape.

Because the arrows did not do significant damage, the water monster pulled a part of itself to become water droplets and made rain. But he still kept some arrows to attack Radmilo.

Water monsters could create unusual rain. The water from the raindrops was extremely hot, causing skin burns exposed to the rain to blistering. The rain could also become armor-piercing; destroying the armor that protected their opponent's body.

The rain was the strongest skill water monsters had. They would only use it when they feel threatened. From the start, Radmilo targeted this rain because he wanted to test his body's condition.

"What a coincidence. I haven't showered yet," the man muttered as he collected the rainwater with his palm.

In an instant, his palms immediately blistered. The raindrops also pierced his armor and crushed it slowly. The water monster seemed surprised because he did not dodge at all. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Radmilo gritted his teeth as he felt his skin sting. He then stared at the water in his palm and asked, "Aren't you going to enter my body? Isn't this a good opportunity?"

The water monster woke up from its daze. It jumped from Radmilo's palm and flew into his nose. Within seconds, it managed to reach the man's lungs. It immediately ordered its other parts to enter his body as well.

One minute later, the water monster froze itself to damage Radmilo's organs. If that man did not swallow the special potion within five minutes, then he would die.

Radmilo, on the other hand, purposely did not use the potion to make himself in agony. He bit his lower lip as he felt his whole body ache. In the end, he screamed and fell to the floor as his organs started to stop functioning one by one.

[Warning! Magical attacks aggravate your body's condition!]

"Ah, shit. This hurts so bad."

The man could still curse regardless of his current state. Before it was too late, he immediately raised his middle finger.

[You are still using the <Pause> skill in another place]

[You cannot use <Spool Back> to its full potential]

[Do you want to keep using it?]

As soon as Radmilo confirmed it, he returned a few minutes earlier. It was the moment the water monster entered his lungs. He hurriedly took out the special potion from his inventory and drank it.

The potion was made from monster lava mixed with magical mint leaves, which served to cool the lava and make it safe for human consumption. The lava caused the water monster to melt away and simply disappear from Radmilo's lungs.

However, the water monster had not been completely wiped out since it was able to divide. The magic rain and the ice arrows were still there. Radmilo gripped his sword with both hands.

When he cast the spell, the flames on his blade turned black. It was the maximum amount of fire that his magical sword could produce. This black fire could have more significant damage.

"I'm done with my experiment. If you are interested in becoming my partner, then you can contact the monster axolotl named Clem. See you later!"

Radmilo slashed his sword at the arrows, then slashed again at the raindrops. The water monster immediately melt away and disappeared. A notification that the dungeon had been cleared appeared.

Outside the supermarket building, Lefter was sitting weeding when he sensed the water monster had lost. He heard footsteps a moment later. It must be Radmilo.

"I threatened that water monster to kill you. But it seems the monster is no match for you," Lefter spoke while standing and facing Radmilo.

The man did not respond. His mind was wandering to the incident a while ago. He discovered something new. When he was dying, he could only return to his previous maximum of five minutes.

"Do you know anything about the usage limits of my power?" asked Radmilo, finished with his conclusion.

Lefter frowned. "Don't you want to go to another dungeon? I will just talk to you where it's convenient."

"I guess I should change my plans. It's going to be sunset soon. I'll just go back to my apartment and finish my business tomorrow."

"So, I'm going home with you?"

Radmilo was silent because he was considering many things. If he brought Lefter into his apartment, people would be suspicious and think he might have kidnapped a child since he had no family.

"I can't bring you to stay in my apartment. But we can talk freely while I use my pause power. And the thing is I don't know how long my power will last because my condition isn't good."

Lefter shrugged. "No problem. I can use my power so you don't have to worry."
