Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

*Splash*

Raydon lost his footing when the tortoise's body vanished, and he toppled into the water. Then he gathered everything that had fallen into the water, tossed them into his dimensional storage, and returned to dry land. While brushing wet hair off his face, he shifted his attention to the big island in the distance.

''I still have two hours to go, and I only have to kill the region boss, '' Raydon exclaimed.

Within an hour, he killed nearly a hundred monsters, and just now he also added the entire enemy team to that body count. There was only the Region Boss left on his to-kill list.

He wasted no time in using his Flame Burst skill once more and immediately began plotting a route to the main island by selecting the islets with the most mobs.

—

''Whew, I'm finally here. '' Raydon finally made it to the big island after a half-hour of jumping. Including the earlier ones, he killed a total of 183 wandering snakes during this period.

''Hmm, it appears that I still have plenty of mana left. It was a wise decision to increase my stamina. I suppose I should raise my stamina to 60 and then unlock another sub-skill when I've gained enough experience. ''

Raydon's hunting efficiency was greatly enhanced by his ability to use his skills frequently, which also enabled him to make the most of an F-Rank match.

''Now let's see where that big boy is. '' He muttered and began looking around, activating his Despise skill. Despite the fact that this island is the largest in the region and is densely forested, his 400-meter vision range was sufficient to locate the creatures in almost every corner of the island.

''Heh, there you go.'' Raydon spotted the Region Boss not far away and began dashing in that direction.

He had only been running through the forest for a few minutes when he came across a black snake with yellow horizontal stripes, curled up next to a massive rock. Using assassination techniques, Raydon approached this snake stealthily after retrieving his sword from his dimensional storage.

His footsteps on the dirt, grass and branch-lined path could not be heard over the sound of swaying leaves in the wind.

Without making a sound, Raydon crept up to where the four-meter snake's head was and swung his sword.

''Spirit Wave. ''

*BANG*

''Tssss…''

The sword wave, which looked like it was made of black smoke, slammed into the snake's head at high speed, cutting it deeply enough to wake it up hissing in pain.

''Of course, you're not going to die in a single attack.'' Raydon chuckled and made the next move.

''Flame Burst. ''

Black flames erupted from beneath his feet as he leaped toward the snake's writhing head. He took out the great sword from his dimensional storage and sank it deep into the center of the wound he had just created with the Spirit Wave.

''Tsssss… '''

*Tut*

[Lv.10 Lone Serpent(E-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 100 points.]

[You gained 1000 experience points.]

[Congratulations; at the conclusion of the match, you will receive your reward for killing the region boss.]

The snake gave its final, agonized death cry, then fell to the ground, blood pouring from its head.

Raydon withdrew his great sword from the serpent's head, drenching himself and the ground in its gushing blood.

''Man, I guess there's no fun in F-Rank matches anymore.'' While staring at the snake's dead body, he sighed and said. There probably wasn't anyone in the F-Ranks who could stand up to him. As a result, Raydon began to wonder if even E-Rank matches were actually that challenging.

''Anyway, if I can't find any challenges, I'll go and mess with my family,''  He joked.

He then pulled the dismantling blade out of his dimensional storage and started dismantling the lone serpent. He also made sure to get its meat in the meantime.

Raydon looked at the remaining time in the match after he had finished dismantling and said.

"Heh, it seems I have a lot of time yet. ''

And he set out to find other mobs on the island to hunt.

Meanwhile, while Raydon was having a wild time on the main island, four girls were attempting to walk on the ice formed by their skill on the water. They moved slowly and smoothly from one islet to the next, as if they weren't in the middle of a match and were simply visiting the other islet out of curiosity.

[Your team gained 1 point.]

[Since you made no contributions to the battle, you won't gain any shared experience.]

''Here is another system message.'' One of the girls calmly said. She must have grown accustomed to the system message that has been coming constantly ever since Raydon left them.

''First, he went and wiped out the enemy team; then he went and killed the region boss; and now he's spending the rest of his time slaughtering. Who exactly is this terrifying man?''  In horror, one of the girls uttered. Every time Raydon was mentioned, she remembered the look on his face as if he was about to devour them.

''I've never seen or heard of him before. He has to be around our age. I can't believe such a person hasn't been heard in the academy. As you can see from his level, even after so many massacres, he is still at level 1. He probably comes from a grand family, maybe even a super-family and the title he has is just as strong. '' Another girl exclaimed in awe. All of them were both terrified and in awe of Raydon after witnessing his relentless slaughter and might.

The girls argued over which super or grand family Raydon belonged to after they finished wondering why he wasn't the subject of any rumors. After all, only an extraordinarily powerful and well-established family could have produced such a genius.

''I have no idea who he is, but I have no doubt that his fame will quickly spread. I should let my family know as soon as I can. '' Looking off into the distance, the girl who once fantasized about teamwork exercises with Raydon said.

Similarly, the other girls showed their agreement by nodding their heads. They, too, had begun to form their own fantasies about Raydon in their minds, and it was clear that his name would start to spread slowly but surely among other item holders after this match.
