After Randy tested his newly acquired skill on the Grey Boars, he did not hesitate anymore and proceeded to the next segment right away.
After all, he did need to take care of the corpses of the defeated beasts in the dungeon, as it seemed like the dungeon would somehow handle and process the defeated beasts for him after he finished. At least, that was what he heard from Zophia.
Furthermore, the challenger's system gave him a quest to defeat ten beasts of each level of strength to increase his level in the process, and the reward for completing such a quest would grant him the fangs and furs of the defeated.
The system also did not mention how many beasts he had to defeat, and not to mention, the challenger's system did not even mention how many floors he had to clear to complete the quest.
Therefore, in actuality, all he had to do was hunt down the beasts in this dungeon of beasts. And even if he failed in subjugating them all, he would not fail the quest. After all, he had technically completed the challenger's system's quest when he defeated the Grey Wolves on the first floor to increase his level for the first time.
With nothing to worry about regarding the corpses of the defeated beasts, Randy went to next to segments on the second floor the peace of mind.
Just like that, Randy had cleared the second floor within a few minutes since the opponents were not much of a threat to him.
At this moment, after Randy defeated the strongest beast on the second floor, the challenger's system notified him almost right away.
[You have successfully hunted and killed ten Robust Earth Boars within a short amount of time]
[You are now level 10]
[All your attributes have increased by 2 points, and you have also received an additional 8 undistributed attribute points for reaching level 10]
[Please check your challenger's attribute screen for further information regarding the increase in your level]
[Would you like to proceed to the next segment on this floor? Or Would you like to enter the Safe Room on the second floor to take a rest?] The challenger's leveling system prompted.
Randy ignored the challenger's system notification for a moment, and he pondered to himself as he recalled his fight just now.
'Judging from the name, these earth boars seemed to possess an earth element attribute, so I had to use my sacred enchant skill to penetrate through their tough skin. Not that I think about it, those agile silver wolves also possessed something related to wind element when they moved around… I suppose that's why they were so fast on their feet, although not fast enough to become a threat to me…'
Randy found a certain pattern between the beasts in this dungeon of beasts' floors. He discovered that although most of the beast on the first four segments of the first and second floors were increasing in strength, the leaders of the fifth segment on each of the two floors had elemental affinities or possibly their innate skill, which enabled them the use of elements.
The first floor's Agile Silver Wolves on the fifth segment could tremendously increase their speeds to be faster than the previous wolves that he had encountered on the previous segments. And that was mostly due to their innate skills that seemed to be related to wind elemental attributes.
Meanwhile, the Robust Earth Boars that he just defeated on the fifth segment of this second floor possessed an extraordinary defense due to their innate skills, which was related to earth elemental attributes.
After discerning these facts, Randy did not bother to ponder too much and proceeded to the next floor right away.
After all, even if he pondered about it for a while longer, it did not change the fact that he still needed to kill those beasts in this dungeon to proceed forward, and thus, he made up his mind that when he meets those elemental beasts on the subsequent floors, he would deal with them as soon as possible in case some of them exhibit some strange and unknown abilities besides elemental attributes.
With that decided, Randy went to the third floor, and this time, he was met with bears. And just like the previous floors, they also had different colors on each segment that he cleared.
Naturally, Randy did not struggle on the third floor either and was able to easily clear the entire floor within a few minutes without allowing the other parties the time to initiate their attacks against him.
And just like he had thought, the Versatile Snow Bears that he met on the third floor's fifth segment, although they were only level 15, also had an innate skill related to ice elemental attribute.
And thus, it would have been very hard to deal with them if he did not proceed to kill them immediately upon arriving on the segment with all his might, coupled with his light attribute enchanted sword, it would have been troublesome even if he was stronger than them.
However, he was able to deal with them very swiftly before those ten Versatile Snow Bears could use their attacks, so he did not have to worry about such a possibility.
And with that, he managed to clear the third floor.
[You have successfully hunted and killed ten Versatile Snow Bears within a short amount of time]
[You are now level 15]
[All your attributes have increased by 2 points]

[Would you like to proceed to the next segment on this floor? Or Would you like to enter the Safe Room on the second floor to take a rest?] The challenger's leveling system prompted.
"Proceed to the next floor." Randy replied.
At this time, a portal appeared in front of Randy, and without hesitation, he proceeded inside and soon found him on the fourth floor. On this floor, he was met with ape beasts, and although these apes seemed a little bit smarter than the other beasts that he had faced thus far, he was still able to defeat them in the end.
However, he ended spending more time trying to chase after them or dodging their relentless attacks. That was because these apes did not immediately engage in a fight with him as soon as they saw him and instead, proceeded to stand on the branches of the trees in the forest and threw some large rocks in his way.
Not to mention, those rocks were not just mere rocks but 2-meter-wide boulders that seemed like they would have packed a punch if he had been hit by them.
That was because when those boulders landed at the place Randy had been standing before dodging, they immediately created a hole on the ground shortly after the impact. When Randy saw the deep crater left on the ground afterward, he immediately broke into cold sweats on the spot. As if such an attack were to land on his body, even if he had a strong body, he would still have some bruises on his skin.
Ultimately, he was able to defeat them using his sacred aura skill, which enhanced his physical abilities for a certain amount of duration depending on the mana points he spent.
[You have successfully hunted and killed ten Cunning Flame Apes within a short amount of time]
[You are now level 20]
[All your attributes have increased by 2 points, and you have also received an additional 8 undistributed attribute points for reaching level 20]

[Would you like to proceed to the next segment on this floor? Or Would you like to enter the Safe Room on the second floor to take a rest?] The challenger's leveling system prompted.
"Proceed to the next floor right away.." Randy immediately responded.
