The beholders are a race with high magical affinity, and the stronger ones have terrifying magic contained in their eyes that would end a person’s life once if they were to use it. The thing with this situation was that Victor was unsure what the magic contained in the eyes were. If this happened to be a strong beholder, even though it was young, it would still be quite fatal as Victor was nowhere strong enough to face one.
The fact that beholders should be at the level of powerful dragons was already a problem on its own, and if the sense of this world is similar to that of earth, its centre eye would nullify all magic, but this was not earth, and the knowledge from earth doesn’t always help here. For one, there were very few people whose powers concerned magic, the majority just had their abilities, and he only possessed skills.
Victor was a little positive, and could see a way for him to win. Even though his skills were to be negated, he still had a way to win the fight. Even with the destructive magic contained in the beholder’s eyes, its only strong suit was its magic, its body was as weak as any normal monster. If he could get close enough, he would be able to change the battle scaling.
‘First of all, system.’ Victor said in his mind while listening to the beholder talk, though he didn’t exactly understand what it was trying to prove for the most part.
[Chaos Tenaise Level 100].

The thing that was not as Victor expected however was the fact that this creature before him was not a beholder, instead it was a Tenaise, whatever it was. It didn’t matter what the creature was, it looked like it would be the same as a beholder, so he would just treat it the same. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Seeing as the beholders are creatures that are magic oriented with bodies that are very susceptible to physical attacks, and the fact that Victor literally had no magic for it to use its anti magic field on, he was ok to an extent. Maybe this fight wouldn’t be as difficult as he thought.
From what the thing had being rambling about ever since, it was basically expressing how Victor was inferior and a worm and how it self was basically godly. The moment Victor even moved a step, one of the eyes of the tenaise shot a ray towards him, but thankfully, he was fast enough and dodged. The area where the ray had hit completely crumbled, and a hole was created in the ground.
Following that ray attack, the tenaise shot two more beams, Victor dodged the first one, while the second one hit him as he almost avoided it.
‘Crap!’ He screamed as the beam hit his body. Victor was sure that his body would meet the same fate as the ground a few seconds ago after the beam touched his body, but nothing happened.
[The enemy has tried to induce fear with their skill]
[You are not affected]
Seeing this, the fight had become more easy than Victor originally thought. Even with all the power a beholder held, it still had many loopholes that allowed for them to be defeated without risking too much, using some kind of cheat moves here and there. If anything, Victor himself and many other people from these worlds were cheat on their own, as they didn’t have to worry about the beholder’s anti magic field, and with some people possessing powerful abilities, the beholder would be an easy monster to beat. Well, as long as it wasn’t an adult.
Victor moved quickly around, collecting stones, and when he was ready, he threw the stones one after the other, and when they got close he would cause them to explode. The beholder was smart and knew that it had to avoid the stone, but with its slow speed, it was useless for it to even try much.
‘I heard these things had a death ray or something like that, that kill you in one strike. Well, let me show this guy my own death move.’
Victor shot towards the tenaise so fast that it must not have even had the time to react, and grabbed it with his hand while pushing it to the ground. As they fell, he used his skill Touch of death, and that was it. After a few seconds, the tenaise died, and the crack which Victor heard about appeared where the drake slept.

He picked up the tenaise corpse, and without wasting anytime began eating away and swallowing. He hurried back out of the dungeon before it completely collapsed. While heading back, Victor could not help but think about his fight with the beholder. Even he had thought that it would be a fierce fight, but in the end it turned out to be so easy. Thinking of it now, there were just too many ways to beat the creature. Alas, this wasn’t some game where certain creatures were favoured. In the actual world, certain rules are not enforced, and some creatures that are meant to be powerful turn out to be like this. Besides, it wasn’t a beholder to begin with, so it was sort of understandable.
[You have killed the dungeon master]
[You have been free from the effects of the dungeon]
[You have been marked]
Seeing these notifications pop up, Victor was satisfied by the first two, but the last one was a bit different. What did it mean by he was marked? That was something for later anyway, for now, getting out of the dungeon was the main agenda.
Victor hurried back through the various floor, utilizing all the short cuts he knew. The closing of the cleared dungeon wasn’t instantaneous and took some time, but there was no need to be complacent. There are some cases when the time it takes for a dungeon to close is shortened, and then it leads to people dying. Victor wasn’t sure he would even be able to escape if he was sucked into the crack. There was no need to test it either.
