The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 70 - Growing

I don't know how long he had stepped down and I don't know how many monsters in the labyrinth that he defeated. Richard himself did not know about it because he never cared anymore about time or just counting the monsters he had fought.

Actually, he could have avoided fighting with monsters on every floor he went through but if not defeating monsters meant he could not eat and if he did not eat then he would be hungry, if he is hungry, he will weaken and die.

So from that simple thought, every day he had to defeat a monster at least one monster was enough for his daily nutritional needs. Richard had forgotten the definition of food with a good taste, his tongue no longer knew sweet, salty, sour.. The only thing that stuck on his tongue was the bitter taste of the monster meat he had consumed.

One thing for sure is, the more he enters the labyrinth, the fewer monsters he encounters, but once he meets, the monsters he faces are stronger than ever.

I don't know how many times he almost died, again thanks to blue eye crystals Richard still survive until now. Physical and mental increasingly honed without Richard knowing, his personality also changed considering that during his time in this labyrinth, no one interacted with him. Richard was alone, though, not because of singles but because there is no human in this labyrinth except himself and Richard are the only people who have come this far into the deepest part of the mysterious labyrinth.

All of his senses evolved following the conditions present within the labyrinth. For example, his sense of vision is like an animal, where he is able to see in the dark because he has been trapped in a labyrinth where most of the room in it is dark.

Or his sixth sense that rises up, the, he could feel the presence of monsters nearby even though the monster was hiding from him even more intensely he could feel the presence of any creature from a radius of hundreds of meters away from him if he focused on one point of sensing.

It could be said that his instinct to survive had made Richard surpass the abilities of ordinary humans, moreover in him was stored the divine power of grace from the goddess. For people who initially wanted to kill themselves, the thing he experienced until now is an extraordinary miracle.

This time Richard again stepped through the maze that continues to change until he arrived at a room full of large poles that support the roof of the room.

The room was very large, it could even be said that it was the largest room he had entered in the labyrinth as long as he was trapped in this labyrinth.

Richard looked up, he saw how tall the solidly standing pole was. If you can guess maybe the height of the pole is about 20 meters from the ground.

What is more fantastic is the floor of the room consisting of smooth green grass that if stepped on the foot without using a pedestal then we can feel the softness of the grass that touches the feet.

At the edge of the room was a pillar of fire that was burning even before Richard entered the room. As far as the eye can see, all that is seen is a large pole and a smooth grass floor that spoils the feet.

Richard walked into the room, looked to the right and left to look around for puddles, rivers or whatever. The important thing is to get rid of the hair.

Richard had not found water for a long time, if returning to the outside world, Richard had not been drinking water for 3 days but Richard was not aware of it because in the labyrinth Richard did not know the time of day or night.

What else the blood pouring from the wound on his left leg had already dried up but the scar he had gotten from the fight with some monsters on the previous floor was still wet. If not given water soaking blue eye crystals then the wound could have rotted and been fatal for him.

Thirst plus wound on his left leg, complete already Richard's suffering this time. Even so, Richard still continued walking with a sharp gaze.

The result of Richard's fight is also visible from the golden armor he wears. The armour looks shabby and no longer intact with the bottom that he wears in his trousers. It seemed that the golden armor was not as strong as it seemed because Richard had only made a few fights but the armor was already broken.

During the fight Richard used a weapon he made himself somehow. To be sure he used his fire empire to make weapons and form raw materials in the form of monster canines that he had extracted before into a sharp knife with no handle or handle.

A knife that is very similar to the knife made by early humans using rock that is sharpened continuously until the sharpness is seen.

With that blade, Richard could easily tear his opponent apart without even using his empire.

True too, in some battles Richard deliberately did not use his fire empire and relied only on physical strength and the results were extraordinary. Richard's physical abilities improved greatly along with his ability to fight using a knife he made with his own hands.

What is more impressive than that is that Richard has been fighting with only one hand, his right hand. As previously known if his left hand is maimed due to a fight with a cyclops monster.

Richard was still walking in the spacious room, but he could not find the water he was looking for. Richard paused for a moment and gulped but there was nothing he could swallow anymore because his throat was dry, clearly visible from his chapped lips.

His gaze also began to blur, Richard saw a large stone nearby and then he approached the stone and sat leaning back while closing his eyes.

"Have you got here." His inner.

Richard had no idea what else he should do, and now Richard really needed water. As strong as he is if without water then he cannot do much, however he is still a human like the others. In the middle of his glassy mind suddenly came the sound of thundering clouds and lightning striking in the room.

Richard opened his eyes because only this time he again heard the sound of lightning and the rumbling of thunder but thought maybe it was just his hallucination, where perhaps in a room far from the ground there was a rumble of thunder. What else the rumbling of thunder that he heard was an early sign of the coming rain.

Until the water drops hit his forehead.. Sure enough, not long after the rumble it rained.

Richard opened his eyes wide, he looked up and saw the rain that began to fall soaked him. The rain water was getting heavier until his body was soaked, rain water fell along with lightning and rumbling sounds that were still heard.

"Well! What, am I dreaming?" His words still don't believe.

Richard opened his mouth upwards, letting the rain water soak his mouth and throat that had started to dry up.

The rain was so heavy that Richard had to close his eyes if he did not want the rain to hurt his eyes. The heavy rain continued to fall until at some point in the room there was a puddle of water that gathered to form small lakes around Richard.

Now Richard can breathe a sigh of relief because the thirst and wound on his left leg can be lost due to the strange rain that suddenly drenched the delicate grass in the room. Although initially not so understanding but Richard did not care what was important now he can still survive and continue his adventure in this labyrinth.

Before long, the heavy rain subsided..

From the puddle of water looks Richard who is lying closed his eyes. Nearby are blue eye crystals whose size begins to shrink than usual.

Richard opened his eyes, he got up and sat in the middle of the puddle and saw the wound on his leg. Sure enough the wound had healed instantly and he was back in shape like before.

He stood up while taking out the blue eye crystal.

"The size is getting smaller, I'd better save this crystal" he said.

Richard stepped up, this time he was looking for another important thing. He would look for monsters because he was hungry right now, there was nothing else that could fill his stomach other than monster meat not even with fruit or plants. All he could find in this labyrinth was monsters.

As he stepped out of the puddle, Richard paused for a moment to notice something on his face. There is something strange he thought, he was increasingly curious about the reflection of his face on the puddle of water. Finally Richard bowed to see the reflection of his face more clearly, he held the cheek under his eyes.

"Since when?" Her speech.

He saw from the reflection of the water that his two eyes were now changed, which was originally black and now his eyes were blood red. I don't know since when but he just realized it at this time. The change in his eyeballs was a result of his frequent consumption of monster meat.

Not only did his abilities increase if he consumed monster meat but also his physique that was developing in addition to being strong some specific things also started to seem to change, one of them was his eyeball which was now blood red.
