Dungeon Raid [7]

****

Walking forward, Amon manipulated the sea around him into numerous thick strings.

Not noticing them, the mantis' pincers twitched and it shot towards him.

But it was taken by surprise midway as the strings suddenly latched onto its two legs, throwing off its rush and keeping it in place.

The mantis looked at the strings holding it and tried to break free but to its dismay, failed to do so.

Moving its gaze back to where Amon stood in rage, it was left utterly confused when it saw that he wasn't there.

Suddenly, it felt a bone-cracking punch land on its face, making its head cock to the side with force.

CRACK!

One of its pincers broke under the sheer force and fell to the ground.

The monster recovered from the blow and quickly moved its head to the side, fuming in anger.

There, it found Amon in mid-air, both of his arms covered in blood.

Overcome with fury, the monster hurled its two blades at him, attempting to slice him down.

However, just as they were inches away from him, his eyes suddenly glowed amethyst purple, locking gazes with the emerald ones of the beast.

Instantly, the beast felt its body rooted in place like a statue, unable to move despite its best attempts to do so.

And again, Amon pulled himself to its face using some strings and launched another hard punch at its front face.

CRACK! CRACK!

Two more of its pincers broke under the force of the punch, dropping to the ground with a thud.

The beast's head nocked back with full force, but in that moment, the control of its body returned.

Amon's instincts suddenly blared at full alert and his head moved to the side at full speed, only to find a blade inches from his arms.

He instinctively generated a blood shield at that moment, but it too broke under the force of the blade, only serving to slow its impact.

The blade cleanly connected with Amon's blood-coated arm, producing a sharp sound because of metal clashing against metal.

CLANG!

His body went flying to the side due to the force of the impact, making him crash into the sea.

He was drowning in the sea with each passing second before he regained control over himself and swum up to the top.

His face shot out of the blood surface, only to meet the beast meters away from colliding with him.

Fortunately, he was calm this time and instantly disappeared from the spot, making the beast crash into the sea for nothing.

The beast's body was submerged in the blood sea now, and it quickly looked around for its target, finding it standing on the land now.

"SHRIEEEK!" It shrieked in rage.

But before it could launch itself at him again, Amon crouched down and placed both his hands inches above the blood surface.

Following that, his hands crackled with electricity and it escaped from his hands into the sea.

The surface of the sea now started twitching with yellow electricity and it instantly spread out as Amon channeled more of it into the sea.

The electrified sea finally reached the beast and it sent jolts of electricity through its body, jolting it and making it scream in pain.

"SHRIEEEEEEEEEK!"

Amon kept channeling the electricity into the sea for a half minute before he finally ceased to conserve his mana.

The beast's body suddenly went limp as the jolts finally ceased.

Its head lowered and its body started drowning in the sea.

Amon kept looking at the bubbly spot where it stood before for some seconds with a frown on his expression.

He knew that the dungeon wasn't over yet of course. There were multiple reasons for it but the main one was that he hadn't received any clearing signal yet.

And just like he had thought, the spot where it was drowning suddenly started to bubble with even more intensity than before.

The mantis' body shot out of the surface with intense speed, making it seem like a blur to his eyes and throwing him off guard

In the next moment, Amon felt a heavy force crash into his body, sending him flying to the other end of the islet.

He crashed on the ground, his body dragging through the rough ground,

Blood poured out of his mouth with cuts to his hand and face now.

Ignoring the injuries, he quickly got up but was again shocked as he found a blade a couple of inches from his face.

[WATCH OUT!] The goddess inside his head called, warning him.

'[Voidteleport]'

He vanished from the spot and the blade whizzed past where he stood harmlessly.

Amon appeared on top of one of the large pincers that had crashed to the ground earlier.

He had marked it when he had punched the face of the beast, just in case he wanted to teleport.

He quickly looked forward, and there he saw the gigantic body of the beast, with a red hue surrounding it.

He knew what it was.

It was a state called Beserk Mode.

This was when an irrational boss monster would be close to dying and it would go completely berserk, attacking and dodging completely on its instinct.

Its physical stats and mana would also increase by a significant amount which was the reason why Amon was suffering right now.

The beast locked eyes with him, finding where he had gone.

In its mind, all it wanted right now was to kill him.

And just like what he had expected, the beast shot at him with rage.

He manipulated the sea again and several thick strings shot out, coiling around the mantis to keep it in place.

However, they were instantly broken, a reminder of how strong it had gotten.

Caught by surprise, Amon tried to dodge its blades but was hit by one of its legs again, throwing him across the ground.

He quickly got up again, with blood now trickling down from the edges of his face.

He was brutally bruised now and he knew if not for his artifacts, he would have been certainly dead by now.

Due to the sudden power-up, Amon could barely react to its speed right now and he knew every time he would try to dodge he would get hit, undoubtedly.

His reflexes just weren't fast enough.

His mind worked at blazing speed on what to do.

Fortunately, the goddess inside his head had a way.

A risky way, but a way nonetheless.

[I have a method…] She commented inside his head.

'Hmmm?' He asked, still focusing on the beast for any attacks.

[Use the blood manipulation on yourself…]
