Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Raydon stood there, a sudden and overwhelming sense of power washing over him like a wave, as his body was being consumed by the scorching heat of the flames.

He noticed that his flames appeared to be stronger and more potent than they had been in the past and said, "Damn, its power increased again with my increased spirit stat?"

In addition to this, he was able to have a very clear awareness of the fact that the blood that his heart pumped through his body rushed through his veins, thereby providing him with an additional boost of strength.

The impact that the Ashen Heart had on Raydon's HP led to the ash element becoming infused in his bloodstream as a side effect. Because of this, Raydon felt an augmented surge of energy permeating his entire being. This was probably due to the fact that the spirit stat has the ability to bolster the Item Holder's elemental properties.

''However, it appears that my body won't be able to maintain its ability to withstand the increased strength for very long. ''

Raydon felt the power pouring into his body, but he also noticed that he was becoming extremely tired, both mentally and physically. He reasoned that in no more than ten minutes he would have used up all the strength in his body and would have been lying on the ground unable to even move his fingers.

"Whatever the case may be, a couple of minutes would be sufficient for me." He smiled, but it was a crooked smile. The terrifying appearance of his smile was amplified by the fact that black flames were rising above him and gray smoke was emanating from his mouth at the same time.

''ROOAAARRR. ''

When Raydon was getting ready to enter the cave, the forest's predator that was already inside must have sensed his presence because it began to roar, and shortly after that, the echoes of something galloping began to be heard inside the cave.

"All right, come to daddy.''

As soon as Raydon realized that the creature was getting closer, he abandoned his plan to go inside and instead waited for the king of this jungle to make his appearance.

The sound of hooves reverberating through the cave grew louder and closer within a matter of seconds, and Raydon soon caught sight of what appeared to be this beast.

The monster stood at a height of two meters and resembled a boar, right down to its thick, shaggy, dark fur. It's snarling, drooling jaws protruded menacingly, exposing its razor-sharp tusks, and its eyes glowed with a flaming red light that seemed to burn with an otherworldly intensity.

The enormous muscles of the beast rippled beneath its fur as it moved, and the ground shook with each heavy footfall that it took. Its breath was like a blast of hot air, and as it charged towards Raydon, the very air around it seemed to shimmer and warp due to the immense power that it possessed.

Boar Boss let out an angry snort as it dashed out of its cave and continued to make its way towards Raydon.

Raydon decided to not try to evade the charging boar by moving out of the way and instead stood his ground and assumed a position of attack.

''Let's see how strong you are. '' Raydon said with a grin.

In point of fact, if it had been a different kind of monster other than the boar that was now perceiving the presence and power of Raydon's emanation, it most likely would have chosen to run away rather than attack him.

However, it was obvious that this boar had been the Boss of this region for a considerable amount of time and had lived its life with arrogance. As a result of this, it continued to charge Raydon, who appears to be a devil in his black flames, as a result of having lost its animal instincts and being blinded by the rage it felt at being disturbed.

Raydon stood there with his right fist ready, and when the boar finally got close enough to him and prepared to strike with its tusks, Raydon quickly slid off the boar's tusks and slammed his right fist into the boar's nose, which is burning with intense black flames.

*BOOM*

[Lv.10 Jungle Black Boar (E-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 100 points.]

[You gained 2000 experience points.]

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

As soon as Raydon's fist and the boar came into contact with one another, an incredible amount of energy was released, and the force of the impact caused Raydon to be thrown backwards and then fly away.

*BANG*

With a deafening crash, he collided with a nearby tree, and the sound of splintering wood filled the air. The impact was so strong that the tree disintegrated into kindling-sized pieces as a result of the force of the collision, sending splinters of wood flying in every direction.

''It looks like this will cause a forest fire.''

As Raydon pulled himself to his feet and brushed the dirt and debris off of him, he became aware that the tree that he had just crashed into was now on fire. The flames, which radiate from his very body, licked at the bark and branches, consuming the tree with a voracious hunger.

''Oh well, whatever. ''

Raydon started walking indifferently in the direction of the spot where he had collided with the boar.

During this time, he turned off his combo, and he immediately felt the exhaustion that came over him as soon as the flames that were contained within his body were extinguished entirely.

'Its power is truly incredible, but the burden it places on me is just as significant as its power. Given my current level of stamina, it's likely that I won't be able to use this combo at full power for more than two minutes.' Raydon muttered and kept walking.
