Chapter 39 – Dungeon Master.

The humanoid ice monsters began charging at the deerwolf, but deerwolf quickly turned around and hit the humanoid monster with its tail bat.

(!)

(Yes! It did a lot of damage!)

(But, it use a bit of my mana!)

(BUT! I CAN HIT MULTYPLE TARGETS WITH IT!)

Deerwolf spined again and this time ended up hitting multiple humanoid ice creatures with one swing.

(Its power is that of my one fist strike and it uses mana, but I can hit multiple opponents at the same time over and over by spinning around!)

I used my bat tail over and over, without the care how much of my mana was used in order to deal as much damage as possible.

It took me a while, but I finally managed to beat the wave of those humanoid ice monsters.

Injuries, non.

But well… My head is spinning a bit, since I was spinning non fuking stop.

I went "WEEEEEEEE" nonstop. Kind of like a dog chasing its own tail…. Yea… Good that nobody saw that.

Well, at least my tactic made my progress into the dungeon much smoother.

But there is a problem.

The tentacle roots took too much damage.

Fuck me. I forgot those things have a shitty durability that even a child can even damage and destroy them.

Even if infuse the mana and use all other tricks I have, I still suck in many different ways and almost all of my skills are still complete shit.

So pretty much the number of times I could use was way lower than my limbs or headbutt attacks.

Still… The dungeon exploration wasn't over.

(…)

(Something is off.)

(The ice things are not appearing.)

(Not only that, but the corridors are now way wider.)

(But why? I can still see path stretching forward, but still no ice monster in sight.)

(So, the floor isn't ending yet.)

(Or maybe I did?)

(Wait! Don't tell me that I arrived at the end of the dungeon!? But I still haven't yet eaten enough of those ice gems things!)

(For fuck's sake, I know that I'm pushing myself right now, but I need to kill more of them!)

(Still, I got a little confident after finding out a different means of dealing blunt attack, but I'm still in no good shape.)

(Fuck.)

(I still need to risk it, since I have yet unlocked new evolution path.)

(But please tell me that this is not really the end of the path and maybe-)

(?!)

Deerwolf quickly stepped to the side and right as it did, a long icicle went flying.

(…)

(WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!)

(If I didn't dodged that just now, I would end up getting instantly killed!)

(Fuck! I should have seen it coming!)

(Be it a game or a novel, there are always that guy at the end of the dungeon!)

(Dungeon master!)

 From the shadows of the dungeon, a humanoid ice sculptured emerged.

However, it looked nothing alike to the previously encounter monsters.

Its body was much more smother and human looking.

Not only that, there giant crystal eye in the monster head.

The limbs of the monster however did not possess any human like appearance. Instead, they were long and big with a set of sharp claws.

(Fuck. I can just tell from its appearance. This thing its on whole another level!)

(Its limbs are longer and it even have a giant claws.)

(Not only that, it shot that long icicle thing at me. This thing easily dug into the ground.)

(Even with all my strength, I won't be able to block it will still suffered a huge damage.)

(But.)

(Since you are stronger than those guys, you must also have that gem thing, right?!)

(Then if I were to consume it, would I finally

Suddenly the ice monster began running towards the ClownFrog.

(!)

(Its way faster than those ice sculptures!)

(But! Its still not fast or anything!)

The ice monster raised its claw and swinged its down at the deerwolf, but the plant beast had already moved away.

(In terms of speed its around the same of an orc or a young adventurer.)

(No. Its slower than any of them! Its way slower than them!)

(I can do it! With my current speed I can do it!)

Deerwolf launched its hove at the monster side after dodging the attack and successfully connecting the hit.

(…)

(Hey. You got to be shitting me.)

(JUST HOW TOUGH IS THAT BASTARD BODY?!)

The ice monster swinged its claw again, but the deerwolf quickly dodged the attack.

However, it was not able to fully dodge the attack.

(!)

(Fuck!)

(It maybe slow, but it has those stupidly long limbs and giant claws.)

(It only grazed me, but it was able to cut me.)

(That means a direct hit would be extremely dangerous.)

(Still… Oh my fuking god! Why is that bastard body so tough!)

(I only left only some cracks, even though I launched an attack at full strength!)

(For fuck's sake. Do I have any chance of beating him?)

(Tough body. Long reach. Deadly icicle.)

(Not only that, there is a good chance that it may also hold some other things in its sleeve.)

(But, if I devour its gem, I maybe be able to finally unlock a new evolution path.)

(So think.)

The ice monster ran towards the deerwolf and began swinging with its claws over and over, but the deerwolf was running non stop and trying to gain distance as well as trying to stay out of monster attack range.

(Where should I aim?)

(Head?)

(Those monsters did stopped moving after I destroyed their chest or heads. But that thing head different.)

(What is the deal with that eye thing?)

(Aiming for its head while not knowing what it's the deal with it is too dangerously.)

(Then that leaves the chest.)

(But those giant claws are very problematic.)

(I will probably have to stack up damage with hit and run tactic over and over if I want to win.)

(But the problem is with that icicle.)

(I don't know the reason why it is not firing it now. Maybe it has something like cooldown or it has a toll on its body.)

(But for now I have to watch for it, it's far more dangerous than those claws.)

After trying to slash deerwolf with its claws, deerwolf saw opening and quickly head butted the creature in the chest before quickly retreating.

(Tch! Even my strongest blunt attack barely did any damage as well.)

(But I still-)

Suddenly, the eye of the creature began emitting light.

"?!"

Deerwolf quickly backed away as the monster eye was getting brighter and brighter until its color changed to light blue.

Then, the monster manifested an icicle from its eye before then firing at the deerwolf.

(!?)

Deerwolf quickly jumped to the side, dodging the attack.

(SO THAT IS ITS DEAL!)

(Its charging up before then creating and firing that icicle attack.)

(Not only that, it wasn't moving or anything. Maybe it couldn't while charging the attack?)

(Still, attacking it while it's charging up is too careless!)

(If there is not enough distance, I can't dodge it.)

(And there is no way I can kill it within that the time it cannot move.)

The ice monster once again began moving and once again it tried to slash deerwolf with its claws.

Deerwolf landed a counter attack after counter attack whenever it find opening with its fists.

The damage was stacking bit by bit, however was so deerwolf arms.

Claws. Icicles. Claws. Icicles.

Dodge. Bash. Dodge. Bash. Dodge. Bash.

Repeat. Over. Repeat. Over.

Claws. Icicles. Claws. Icicles.

Dodge. Bash. Dodge. Bash. Dodge. Bash.

Repeat. Over. Repeat. Over.

Claws. Icicles. Claws. Icicles.

Dodge. Bash. Dodge. Bash. Dodge. Bash.

Repeat. Over. Repeat. Over.

Again, and again. The battle dragged on.

And then finally, the one who took the real damage was.

…

…

Deerwolf left arm.

(?!)

(SHIT!)

(It's completely broken!)

(!)

The monster launched its claw attack, but the deerwolf dodged the attack and then used its roots to transform it tail into the bat form one again before then spinning around and landing an counter attack.

However, after landing the hit, the tentacle roots finally snapped.

(!)

(FUCK!)

The monster tried to grab deerwolf tail, but deerwolf extend its legs and jumped away, moving away in time.

(This is bad and I mean like very bad!)

(My tail is attack is gone as well as my left arm.)

(I dodged its attacks over and over again.)

(But, the damage I did to its chest is not enough!)

(Not only that, my stamina and mana are slowly hitting their limit again.)

(My right arm is also in shitty situation.)

(It will probably broke after few more hits.)

(Fuck me.)

(This defense is on whole another level.)

(Its nothing like that centipede bastard armor.)

(…)

(…)

(…)

(…)

(You know what? Fuck it.)

(Fuck it all!)

(Just murder this bastard in front of me!)

The ice monster once again began charging up its icicle attack.

However, this time it was different, the deerwolf rushed at the monster before pinning it against the ground.

(Die.)

Deerwolf hit the monster in its chest with its right arm.

(Die.)

Deerwolf hit the monster in its chest with its head.

Deerwolf reputable hit the monster in its chest with its head and arms, even the broken left arm.

There was no strategy or anything.

It was just hitting the monster reputable without the care of its own body to the point the damage was spreading all across its limbs and head.

However, the desperate attacks had proven effective and the monsters chest was finally breaking.

However, the ice monster didn't took that kindly and finally charged up its attack before then fired its icicle attack at point blank range at the deerwolf.

The icicle flew at the deerwolf and the plant beast couldn't even do anything.

The icicle pierced though the deerwolf head and ended up hitting the cave celling.

(…)

Deerwolf put both of is hand on the monster arms before then leaning its head backwards and hitting the monster in the chest with its head repeatable over and over again, making the cracks spread all across the ice monster body.

The ice monster regained its ability to move and tried attacking the deerwolf, but the best limbs were holding the monster in place.

However, it was still able to reach the deerwolf body with its long claws and rip the deerwolf sides.

But the deerwolf didn't stopped ramming its head over and over, even when its head was opening wide open.

(If I fuking leave this place, then I rather fuking die!)

(The only answer to getting stronger right now is in this dungeon.)

(SO JUST FUKING DIE ALREADY SO I CAN EAT YOU!)

Deerwolf put all of its remaining strength and headbutted the monster one last time into the chest.

The cracks on the monster torso everywhere before then the monster torso was finally destroyed from all the damage it sustained.

The monster arms and legs fell were no longer attached to the body and ended up not moving afterworlds.

The monster head rolled around, before it rolled to the deerwolf foot and then broke apart.

(…)

Deerwolf moved away some of the destroyed ice, revealing a magic stone that was noticeable bigger and different looking than any of the previous stones its devoured.

It picked the stone with its destroyed arms and put it inside its destroyed mouth before swallowing it whole.

(…)

(…)

(…)

(…)

(Heh… It worked.)
