Quickly Becoming Stronger in the Dungeon! 10
As far as the results were
It was crazy.
I gather magical energy into my fist and punch.
That was all it was.
That was it, and yetthe giant experintal body of the catfish now had a crater in it.
I think it was about 7 ters in diater.
The giant catfish was over 20 ters in size, but there was no way it could survive with such an enormous hole in its body.
I an, there was blood and bits of flesh splattered all around now. It was that crazy.
This getting to be exasperating.
Lilith shrugged her shoulders as if to show just how exasperated she was.
No, even I was exasperated at how powerful it was. It was more than a little off-putting now.
Having your MP at nearly 20,000 was incredible indeed
However, I was suddenly attacked by a dizziness and ended up sinking to the floor.
A headache accompanied by pain had rushed to my body, and a greasy sweat began to surface from my pores.
Magic depletion.
The force may be incredible, but it would be very difficult to use it in actual combat Its usability is pretty much abysmal.
I said with the best smile I could muster. Lilith looked at with a worried expression.
Now, Im hungry. We should get sothing to eat soonand get so sleep.
The next day.
After spending the night in the cavern with a water vein running through it, we continued our trek to the final bottom layer.
The insides of this cave was filled with a sowhat damp atmosphere.
As I pulled Lilith by the hand, I asked her:
With dragon zombies Dont they mostly look the sa as they did before death?
After death, the dragonkin use their secret arts to preserve the body from decaying. And thentheir souls are fixed to this world When they are reborn as undead, they reflect their status shortly before death.
Shortly before death?
Lilith nodded.
They wouldnt even be able to walk if they were brought back to a state of being sick on the ground, monts before death. You might fix their soul into such a bodybut they would hardly function as guardians.
Well, that is true.
Yes. The true purpose of this trial You cannot receive the divine blessing of the dragon god Deceased dragons who go to the afterlife beco beings that are only souls. Then they turn into dragon gods. And in that mont of deaththey pass on their powers to younger dragons. Through this, they can rise in rank and becos gods. And so elder dragons had much more power than younger ones.
Its like a passing of the baton through the generations, huh. Sowhen dragon zombies beco zombies Does the blessing of the dragon god skill disappear?
SKILL: Dragon Gods Blessing.
It was an insane skill that adjusted your Physical Strength Boost to x1.5.
My current Physical Strength Boost was x2so with that stacked If I learned that skill, than my stats would co out as 2 x 1.5 = 3.
By the way, compared to hero level 100 skills Dragon Gods Blessing was quite ta.
After all, the hero level 100 skill added an additional x2 increase to your Physical Strength Boost It added an x2 to my original x2, so it would be an x4. It was just insane.
Well, its no wonder why they call it the most powerful class.
Because of those reasons, I personally wanted this skill by any ans possible.
My growth rate was quite low compared to heroes as it were, but if they were able to double their stats on top of that I would never catch up to Cordelia if that happened.
Also, there are not many dragons around. You cannot count on a dragon zombie to conveniently appear at the altar every ti.
ButThere is one this ti, right?
Lilith does not answer.
And so I do not question her further.
We walk through the long, long tunnels.
At so point, both I and Lilith had beco very quiet.
Finally, the path opened before us, and a large hall that a 100 ters radius, spread out before us.
Is thisthe altar.
There was sothing lined in a 20-ter radius surrounding the dragon.
It resembled the Stonehenge from England, with black colored boulders placed an equal distance apart in the shape of a circle.
No, it wasnt just bouldersit would be more accurate to call them monoliths.
Well, never mind that Lilith was in shock just as I had predicted.
There was a golden, gigantic body that was over 10 ters tall in the center.
It was an impressive earthwyrm.
Even I and Lilithboth, had sohow or rather guessed that this would happen.
No, it was the mont that we stepped foot into this labyrinth, that we noticed it.
Or more accurately, we had only purposelyavoided talking about it.
Father.
Liliths words did not reach the dragon, as it was already dead.
Apparently, the parent who had raised her was the dragon who had died one month ago.
Well, thenthis was to be expected.
This was probably partially why Lilith had remonstrated all this ti for not conquering this dungeon in a proper way.
Because this was the last step in the ceremony to sendthe parent that had raised her to the afterlife. Of course, she would have strong feelings about it.
But, there was no use in standing here idly.
I looked towards Lilith. Stay backmy eyes ordered.
She seed to be thinking about sothing for a mont, but finally, she nodded with a difficult expression.
I knew that this would be the case. Right now, if there is indeed a guardian in this labyrinthit could only be my father.
Are you sure that you are okay with this?
Lilith nodded.
This is a holy ritual. Long ago, father even killed a guardian. And now, he too wishes to be slain by soone who is younger.
GoodI think, as I crack my neck, side-to-side.
With my ax in hand, I boldly move forward.
The black monoliths that stood in a circlethe mont that I entered it, it happened.
Dragon Breath.
The scorching flas rushed towards , but I ignored them as I continued to dash in the direction of the golden dragon.
My abnormal numbers in magic.
It transford into a magical barrier, automatically creating a thin, light veil around my body.
As the dragons breath used magic and MP as its source, it could not deal any critical damage towards .
The breath stops.
We were now less than 10 ters apart.
For a mont, the dragon looked a little surprised that I was unhurt, but then he laughed happily.
And then he spun without warning, like a spinning top.
His five-ter long tail swung towards .
It was fast.
But not so fast that I couldnt see it coming.
I twist away and dodge the attack.
There was the slightest scrape on the side of my stomach, but otherwise, I had evaded the tail.
Now, my turnI think as I swing the ax down towards the joint between the dragons shoulder and its wing.
Bulls eye.
And then, the dull impact reverberates in my hands.
it was hard.
But, it was not impenetrable either.
There were small streams of blood running from the dragons wing. And blood was spraying all over my face like paint.
In the sa position, the dragon spun like a top yet again.
His armno, front leg? Ah, it didnt matter which.
But it ca rushing forward to smash in the face with its claws.
Claangg! The sound of tal echoed in the chamber.
The attack was blocked by my ax, but the impact was so strong that it threw into the air.
I flew for a few seconds before landing, sliding on the ground to kill the montum.
And then I nodded with satisfaction.
He was strong.
But, not so strong that I could not defeat him.
The experience points that I had fard in this labyrinth were my nourishnt.
I took countless lives, and they beca part of my flesh and blood.
I laugh without fear, and the dragon too laughed happily.
And just like that, I once again charged to attack.
Claws clashed against ax.
I evaded the tail. And the dragon too avoided my ax.
His giant maw opened, exposing his deadly teeth.
Not wanting to allow him an opening, the Damascus Ax moves in.
The sounds of crashing tal continued, as did the cries of the air being cut.
The strong pursue the strong.
For the first ti, I felt like I could understand that sentint.
The feeling of wanting to confirm just how strong you have beco.
The reason that dragons held such combat to be sothing holypart of could understand it.
A matchit was the testing of power.
And the ultimate form of that was this ceremony for elder dragons. This match would turn into a death match.
It was a match for the dead, in order to decide who was worthy to live as the next generation.
AndI frowned.
After trading so many blows, I had co to a realization.
He was strongno, he was a little too strong. This was more than I had expected. This dragon who had raised Lilith, must be one of the strongest of the elder dragons.
In fact, with my current stats, I had predictedthat the dragon zombie would be easily overwheld by .
Howeverthings looked like they would only get worse for if they continued like this.
.
My opponent had an undeniable experience in combat, and he was continuing to push with true combat techniques.
On the other hand, I was quite hopelessly lacking in actual experience.
Eventually, I would commit a deadly error, he would take advantage of that mistake and press hardand I would die.
It was the obvious outco, if we just continued to strike at each other like this.
But, wait a mont. A smile cracks on my face.
It was stillnot as if he was unbeatable.
If anything, it ans that I can continue to fight like this for a while.
Then.This victory would be mine.
I dodge the dragons tail.
Quickly following, sothing moves over my head, just like a pigeon pecking at its foodthe dragons jaw cos down on top of .
Accelerate.
I bound over to the side.
As if doing a sliding tackle, I skid across the ground and barely miss the fangs overhead.
Skill: Iron Body Activate.
Skill: Demon Gate Activate.
I had not activated these skills during the fight.
I had known that having the Physical Strength Boost x2 would have been more than enough to allow to fight with the dragon. However, activating Iron Body and Demon Gate would not be enough with my real abilities.
However, in this specific mont.
If I used these two skills, at this mont alone, I would be able to move at a speed that greatly surpassed that of the dragons.
Accelerate.
Accelerate.
Accelerate.
And then, I move to the side of the dragon zombie.
To explain even further, this mont was a critical opening that was created right after the succession of attacks. In other words, it was the best possible timing.
Here it is.
Its open body, defenseless and exposed.
I throw the ax to the side.
Skill: Wrath of the Villagers Activate.
I concentrate all of my magical energy in the palms of my hand, then I turn them into fists.
-If this wasnt enough I dont even care!
Goooooooooooooooo!!!
My deadly fists were charged with abnormal amounts of magic, and the attack landed as if being sucked into the dragons stomach.
