⌜Chapter 52⌟

It has been a few minutes since Tanaka started his dungeon raid and he was now at the 8th boss. This speed is scary because the average clearing time of this dungeon is 3 to 4 hours, and that was only on the normal levels.

Know that Tanaka entered the hardest level of the dungeon, just the difficulty alone can make every speed runner pull their hairs off, and that was not all, Tanaka is playing a priest class which is a support, just a story about this is already absurd, but it was happening right now.

Tanaka already got 5 pieces of the corrupted set and was only missing the last one, according to the description, he was missing is a head mask?.

For now, what Tanaka had is a black robe, Black gloves, Black boots, A Black Cape, and a black stick, but this stick has a power that is unused for now because it needed the full set to be completed.

Anyway, the 8th boss which was a praying mantis that is 5 meters tall is Tanaka's opponent right now, unlike the ones depicted in the other games which was a praying mantis using their blades to cut enemies, this mantis is much difficult because it doesn't slash its opponents but tries to grapple it and kill it with its big mouth.

Tanaka was almost caught because he underestimated the praying mantis but fortunately, he could escape using the cleanse skill which cleanses every crowd control skill which is the Praying Mantis grapple considered one.

After that, Tanaka took it seriously, but he was in a bad spot right now. The praying mantis is a very annoying opponent. It will charge at him and use its grapple whenever it has the chance, and it was an unavoidable skill, so Tanaka can only escape using his cleanse skill.

"Praise the lord!"

Tanaka yelled before throwing the book on his hand and hitting the praying mantis on the head, Tanaka had grown liking of saying things before throwing his book, it somehow gives an extra damage whenever he does that.

Was he also blessed by a god like Tanya? well, no one knows but extra damage is a good thing, the praying mantis health had already dropped to half, it wasn't fast nor it has overpowered attack, it just has an annoying crowd control skill.

And since Tanaka didn't put any attributes to his other attributes, he has low mana and low hp, he may have heal skill but it drains mana, so Tanaka is using it as less as he could.

"Ah! damn, this is so frustrating"

Tanaka complained as he ran away, this had only happened once, and that was when he fought the boss monster of SAO who was freezing everything around it, Tanaka defeated it with his kiting skills.

About 5 seconds later, a book reappeared in Tanaka's hands. He then threw it once again to the praying mantis that was chasing him.

*Boom!

There was a loud explosion as it crashed on the praying mantis.

*Critical Damage x10!

"Freak yeah!"

Tanaka cheered as he saw this. He stopped running and turned towards the praying mantis, its head already exploded and its hp bottomed out, but its body was still running, and slowly it fell to the ground.

It slid for a few meters before stopping an inch in front of Tanaka, then slowly, it turned to particle of lights.

"It dropped! oh my god! I finally got it"

Tanaka cheered as he saw that the final item of the corrupted set has finally dropped. he has long gotten the guild emblem on the 6th boss and the only reason he was staying here is because of the corrupted set.

"Equip!"

Tanaka excited equipped the corrupted set.

*Breathes in~

*Breathes out~

"This breathing pattern... it sounds familiar"

Tanaka felt a sense of familiarity as he breathed from the mask.

"...Mirror"

Tanaka called out the system mirror and looked at his appearance.

"Dark Lord Vader..."

Tanaka couldn't help but be baffled as he saw the corrupted set, it was the same suit of Darth Vader from star wars except that there was no sci-fi thingy on his chest, a pure black robe with a black armor, then he turned his head towards the black stick that was part of the corrupted set.

Tanaka flicked his hand and the stick extended up to 3 meters, then it started glowing red.

"... Too much plagiarism is happening here, isn't the universal lawyers going to move or not?"

Tanaka cursed, but at least, the armor's style is something to his liking. Instead of giving a sci-fi vibe, it gives him a fantasy villain vibe, the last boss or something.

Anyway, the corrupted set gave him good benefits. For example, all of his attributes increased by 100 points each, and he also got a skill which is telekinesis.

And that is not all. The set is capable of evolving along with its user as long as Tanaka gathers the items needed.

"Hmm, let's try the telekinesis"

Tanaka looked at the nearby rock near him and it was only the size of a fist, Tanaka extended his hand and willed the stone to come to him.

*Swoosh!

The stone flew towards him in a normal speed.

Tanaka sighed as he saw this. At least, he can control his skill.

"How about the bible then?"

Tanaka suddenly remembered his bible, its an important item for a priest so he can't unequip it.

"Oh, right the secondary hand"

Tanaka put the stick saber on his right dominant hand and the bible on his left hand, then he looked at the mirror.

It was... a peculiar sight.

Tanaka then used his telekinesis on the bible.

The bible started floating and was revolving around Tanaka, it doesn't take that much control and Tanaka felt like he had a third hand holding the book.

"Its time to try my new set then"

Tanaka smiled before making his way towards the 9th boss.
