After the battle with Reinhardt, Reinhardt felt humiliated because he had underestimated Lionel. But it didn't mean Lionel was a sword master yet because he still hadn't reached the level requirements.
"Lionel! Congratulations! But you're still not level 70! So to level up, I will permit you to conquer the S-rank dungeon called The Abyss. There are many strong monsters there at high levels. You can easily handle them because you're strong even at your current level!" the king said. "Ino! Escort him to the dungeon!"
"Yes, sir!" The butler escorted Lionel to the dungeon. It took them three hours to get there. "Is there anything you need, Sir Lionel?" the butler asked.
"No, I don't need anything. Thank you. You can go now. I will stay here until I fully conquer the dungeon," Lionel replied.
"But sir, nobody has conquered this dungeon, not even S-rank adventurers!"
"Don't worry! You can go now!"
"As you wish."
Lionel went inside the dungeon. He was on the first floor. The average level of the monsters was level 40!
These monsters are strong! But my stats are bigger than theirs, so I could one-hit them, I think...
The monsters here were:
Abyssal Hounds: Feral, black-furred beasts with glowing red eyes (Level 40) Gloomfang Serpents: Shadowy snakes that vanish in darkness (Level 55) Hollow Ghouls: Twisted undead with broken armor (Level 55) Dusk Crawlers: Giant centipede-like insects with metal shells (Level 55) Abyss King Zehlarion: The ruler of the dungeon (Level 100)
Lionel took out his sword and attacked them.
A few minutes later, he completed the first floor, and his evolution started.
System:Level requirements have been reached. Starting evolution!
System:For reaching level 60, you have finally become an Archangel, and your stats will have no limits now! You can continue growing and become stronger!
System:Archangel appearance and status - Traits: Advanced light magic, healing, enhanced strength and speed. Appearance: Full white coat with silver embroidery, radiant wings, divine energy aura (can be hidden).
"Phew! After that fight, I finally reached level 60. Ten more levels until the requirements are met. Now all that's left is the dungeon boss! Abyss King Zehlarion!"
Lionel opened the giant door leading to the dungeon boss. There was a large corridor and a black throne at the end.
The Abyss King Zehlarion was sitting there, waiting for someone to fight for over fifty years.
"Finally! A worthy foe! I can feel your strong presence!" the Abyss King said.
The boss took out his big sword—a very large sword that looked like a void-like weapon called the Abyss Sword.
Then the boss suddenly charged at Lionel. Even though the boss was big, he moved very fast, but it was nothing compared to Lionel. As soon as he reached Lionel and swung his sword, Lionel wasn't there anymore.
"What?"
"Light Slash!" Lionel shouted. It hit the dungeon boss, and the light enveloped the boss until he disappeared without a trace.
"What? That was easier than I expected!"
+50 Levels! (The boss doesn't give EXP; it only gives levels)
System:Evolution is starting again! You've already reached past level 100!
System:Evolution is so powerful that the host must seal himself so the balance of the world won't be shattered!
System:Do you agree to be sealed for 3 days?
"I agree! I wonder what this is!"
System:Starting to seal the host! 3... 2... 1... The sealing process failed. The host is too powerful. Repeating the sealing process. 3... 2... 1... The sealing process failed again. Repeating the process... 3... 2... 1... The sealing process has been completed. The evolution process will start!
System:Do you want to evolve even faster? But it hurts. Do you agree?
"I agree! What do you mean it hurts?"
System:The evolution process will start! Preparing what race could be suitable for the host...
"AHHH! AHHH! AHH!" Lionel shouted because during the process, the heat of the light was covering him, and the temperature kept increasing.
Then a light struck the dungeon from up in the sky. Every person saw it, including the king, who was looking out from his balcony.
"What is that? An angel came down here?" the king muttered. "No way!"
Everyone on the continent saw it. The other kingdoms also saw it, and they all bowed down to show respect. Then the sound of a trumpet could be heard—a divine sound.
"The trumpet sound! Hurry, everyone! Pray for protection from this angel that descended from heaven!" every king in every kingdom announced, and they all bowed down.
Then the light became larger and larger.
The churches also noticed. "The Great Being is here! The strongest angel of all! Everyone pray!"
The trumpet continued playing for thirty minutes.
System:The evolution has been completed! Your new race is Angel of Virtue.
Traits: Blessing ability, status resistance aura, judgment powers
Appearance: Ornate robes, glowing staff or holy emblem, bright-white ethereal wings
Current Level: 110
Current Stats:
MP: Unmeasurable Strength: Unmeasurable Speed: Speed of Light Durability: Durable as the gates of heaven
"Ouch!" Lionel said. "Finally, it's over... My wings became even bigger. I need to hide this."
Then the beam of light disappeared, and so did the sound of the trumpet. The kings of every kingdom went to the Abyss dungeon.
A few hours later, every leader in every kingdom arrived. They saw a handsome man, Lionel, lying down unconscious.
"What is this?" the King of Leonhart said. "What happened here? The Abyss dungeon is gone?"
Then finally, Lionel woke up.
"What happened? Oh, right, I evolved. And who are these people?" Lionel murmured.
"Who are you guys?" Lionel shouted.
Everyone stopped, then they all ran toward Lionel.
"Hey, can you tutor my son and daughter?" one of the kings said.
"Will you marry my daughter?" another king also said.
They started a commotion, fighting over Lionel and whose daughter would win him over.
"Everyone, stop!" the King of Elarion shouted. Since he was the strongest of all kings, they all stopped. "It is up to Lionel to decide which daughter he will marry. But he will be a professor at the academy, so there might be a chance there!"
"Okay, everyone, you can stop now..." Lionel said. "I need to rest. I have been... tired..." Then Lionel collapsed.
"EEEK!" the kings shouted.
"Take him to the infirmary!" King Reiner shouted.
The knights carried him and brought him to the carriage.
Recovery and New Role
A few hours later, they arrived at the capital of Elarion, where Lionel would stay. Of course, he stayed at the castle.
Lionel woke up.
"Where am I?" He suddenly stood up. "What happened?"
He looked to the side and saw Seraphina, who was shocked that he woke up.
"Finally, you're awake! You've been sleeping for two days!" Seraphina said.
"What! I've been asleep for two days?" Lionel replied, confused.
"It's okay, just recover," Seraphina said.
One week later, Lionel was discharged.
"Welcome! Sword Master Lionel!" Every knight bowed down to show respect.
"Sir Lionel, you can now start as a professor at the academy. You must teach them any techniques you can. Each teacher has a different classroom. Your classroom is Class S-1. You are the first S-class teacher ever in history. Good luck teaching!" The academy secretary said and gave him all the documents and the route to his classroom.
"WHAT! I suddenly became a teacher!" Lionel shouted.
