The Trapped [Chapter 20]
Wait, did he just talk?
I think to myself as he points the halberd towards me.
"Indeed I did, and for killing my king, you will pay with your blood."
He says as I quickly grit my teeth.
"Clearly a cut above the others in this dungeon. [Field of Anti-Magic 5], [Field of Anger 5], [Field of Life 5], [Bloody Wraith 5], [Wrath 5]."
I say as several notices appear corresponding to the buffs applied.
[Magic Level 5 and Below is Now Ineffective]
[All Stats Increased 5X]
[Regeneration Increased 5X]
[Speed and Strength Increased 20X]
[Strength Increased 10X]
[30 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
If my math is correct, my strength, for a short time, should be almost 100,000
I think as I lunge in a straight line towards Yang.
"[True Reflex 7]."
He murmurs as he kicks me back to the wall.
[-38,000 HP]
[+38,000 HP]
[29 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
I grit my teeth and charge him, zigzagging as fast as I can. As he swings his halberd down, I dodge to the side and quickly punch him in the ribs. I feel the entire room shake as the entrance caves in.
[27 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
"Damnit, I collapsed the entrance."
I murmur as I feel a sudden sharp pain through my stomach. I see his sword jammed through me.
[-35,000 HP]
[+35,000 HP]
I quickly snap his sword like a twig and put everything into one punch.
"My king lives."
He murmurs as my punch connects with his face, blowing a 100 foot hole into the solid stone wall behind him. I hear cracking and popping around my as I see cracks in the stone around the walls and ceiling. A few chunks wall down around me, but I easily dodge them.
[22 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
I quickly throw the rocks blocking the entrance to the side and clear put the cave in.
[18 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
I look back and see Yang standing with his halberd ready. His long white hair hanging over his regenerating face.
"You really refuse to die."
I mumble as I smile.
"[Teleport 1]."
I appear behind him and slam my fist onto his head, splitting his entire body in half. The entire room shakes once again as I feel a rock hit my shoulder.
[-1 HP]
[+1 HP]
[13 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
I start walking out as the tip of his halberd stabs through my leg. I grit my teeth and break his halberd at the head, then at the middle of the pole. I quickly pick him up and throw him into the wall. As his large body hits the wall, the room starts to cave in again. I watch his head quickly regenerate as I grit my teeth.
"Why won't you die!"
I scream as he stands up and lunges towards me. He throws a punch, but I catch his hand and crush his fist before slamming him to the ground.
"I need to be sure."
I mumble as he punches towards me again. I easily catch his fist once more and crush it.
[6 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
I grit my teeth and sigh.
"If it makes you feel better, your king put up a greater fight than anyone else I've ever fought. It took everything I had to defeat him."
I say as Yang looks up to me and smiles slightly.
"My king lives, for only my king can defeat me."
He murmurs as I snap his neck.
"Then consider me your king."
I say as he falls limp.
[2 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
"You would've been a hard fight if I didn't have these new spells. You were to-"
[Buffs Have Worn Off]
I suddenly collapse and vomit blood.
[-800 HP]
[-800 HP]
[-800 HP]
[-40,000 HP]
[-12,000 HP]
I lay on the ground coughing up blood as shooting pains rip through my entire body. Each pump of my heart feels like every bone in my body is breaking. I feel tears welling up as the pain continues until I black out.
In the blink of an eye I wake up in my own pool of blood. I look over where Yang was, but see a pendant in his place. As I stumble to my feet, I almost vomit.
The drawbacks from all those spells are insane. Who would've imagined it would've taken all but a few thousand HP. I guess the hidden boss also didn't give any experience, but he did leave this.
I think as I reach for the pendant. A notice appears as I touch it.
[Claim hidden rewards?]
[Yes/No]
I click yes quickly and see the last item.
[Crown of Corvis]
[Ring of Paragons]
[Devil's Pendant]
[Item Acquired!]
-Devil's Pendant-
Special Quality: While being worn, increase Health Regeneration 10X
"I wonder if this is what was making Yang so hard to kill."
I whisper as I put it on.
[+750 HP]
I quickly heal up from the pendant and look at the collapsed tunnel. I stretch and heal before moving the rocks out of the way easily.
"If I hadn't leveled up before coming in here, how hard would the fight have been?"
I mumble as I slowly dig through the rocks. Small stones being the size of a coin, but some larger stones being larger than a bed. As I clear all the stones I see a few rocks fall from the ceiling, but I quickly dash through before it has the possibility to collapse again. As I dash, I feel a sharp pain in my leg.
"I need to save those spells for emergencies."
I say with a slight chuckle as I limp through the dungeon, all the way back to the portal. As I put my hand against the portal, I know that I can go through now. I quickly walk through, all my clothes ripped and torn, with 3 accessories and 3 weapons. As I reappear outside, bright light floods my vision. I hold my arm up as I feel hands touching me.
"Dante! What happened?! You immediately walked in and came back out, you weren't even gone a second."
Blankk asks as Warren laughs.
"No one let me explain that time flows differently in dungeons. One day in a dungeon is a second outside."
He says as I look at everyone and smile. As I look back at the portal, Its a bloody red color now.
"Also once a dungeon is cleared, the difficulty changes and a new dungeon appears. It's not hard to know that's a Class-S dungeon."
Warren says as I laugh.
"Well, the Class-A dungeon wasn't a joke either."
I say as everyone stares at me, shocked.
