Thrasher smiled as he began to focus without the voice of his sister in his head.
It was now time to equip a suitable level 35 set that he won from a previous dungeon. This set was considered extremely rare level 35 equipment. If he didn't raid Hellman hundreds of times by himself, all for the glory of this set, he wouldn't be lucky enough to equip this.

"Ding! You've equipped all 5 items of Hellman's Set. Activated Set bonus - + 300 defense, + 500 attack]
Thrasher nodded his head in approval and then walked up the cobblestone steps to the boss. When he arrived on the stage, the Defender of Malevolence screamed with a banshee like wail.
"RAWWWWKKK!"
Thrasher sighed and then drew his swords.
'We can handle this beauties…'
He looked at the gigantic monster standing in the way of him and the small but glorious treasure chest. In his head, he also made a comparison to Purple Monarch. This creature was at least 20 feet tall and Purple Monarch might even find himself feeling small.
The creature had little skin, and was clearly undead, but its voice was somewhat high almost like a harp. Then, it came forward as its bony legs jingled like an overstrung instrument. It was as fast as the wind, but also had five daggers.
"Boom!"
Thrasher flipped backwards and landed immediately as sparks flew between his blades and the five daggers.
"Hmmm, you're not bad big guy!"
It seemed to Thrasher that the elites had more skill than lower tier monsters, and this was clearly the case. It seemed to be using genuine sword techniques that he practiced as a wee boy. It was somewhat exhilarating fighting such a huge monster, but nonetheless, he wasn't aware of its skills.
In this game, Thrasher had no problem learning from other people's mistakes, and regularly browsed forums for horrifying fails in dungeons. This was one of the reasons Thrasher always loved these battles, and it was because of him having to use his head.
If there was one thing he learned from his master, in all his years training, it was the importance of relying on the work of others. Humans had been around for nearly 100,000 years, and imagine we didn't use fire? He didn't want to be a caveman and was proud of relying on other mistakes.
However, now he sort of had his own opportunity to create fire, and it thrilled him studying the monster's moves.
In fact, for ten minutes, he never attacked, and just let the monster swing at him. He flipped around nimbly using some moves from jujitsu to carry him around the stage.
"I think I've figured you out big guy!" Thrasher screamed to the wailing monster.
It would turn red like fire when it attacked and turn blue when it was using long distance skills. Hence, this obviously seemed like a trap to Thrasher. The real clue was the posture it made before it attacked, and Thrasher ignited his passion to fight.
He then shot up into the air and activated [Shadow Strike] and [Defensive Burst]. The monster turned red from blue instantly and an ice wave blasted out of him.
THUMP THUMP
Thrasher's heart beat slowly, and his strike bypassed the ice wall and caused -500 HP to the monster. A second later, he spun off his foot and began his counter attack.
"Please… don't go berserk at 50 percent" Thrasher thought to himself.
As the monster's health went down, he got faster and faster.
"I think you won't go berserk at 50%... you look to proud to be one of those…"
Thrasher sighed as he received another DM from Humble Paradise as he was in the midst of the battle. A part of him wanted to answer, but the daggers were an inch from his face.
With a lithe move to the side he spun kicked the monster in its bony skull, and returned fire with his sword.
"Boom!"
Finally, to stop this message from happening again, he turned off his auto dungeon reply and responded to Humble Paradise.
"Student, why must you bother me at such a bad time," Thrasher said to Humble Paradise.
"Uhm, sorry! But it's really urgent!"
"So, you've finally realized you need a good teacher… I will meet you after this,"
Thrasher kept battling as he received message after message from Humble Paradise. It was extremely important to meet him in Royal Capital City with the daggers, and his teammates. He accepted this, but didn't dare ask him why his teammates needed to come. Perhaps he was going to try and enter the guild, so he wanted to have his men with him.
Then, Humble Paradise laughed.
"Well, yes! You're going to be the greatest teacher ever!" Humble Paradise rolled his eyes. He couldn't help thinking, 'If I ever accepted your tutelage, I'd probably have to be handicapped.'
Thrasher then smiled and closed the message.
The monster was down to 10% HP, and finally turned berserk…
"RAWWWKK RAWWWKKKK!"
It's high voice somewhat pleased Thrasher, but its appearance turned ugly and it began beaming with speed.
At this time, Thrasher could only activate his level 30 ultimate skill, [Magma slash]. Instantly, a giant flaming series of red blades appeared, and conquered what was left of the Defender of Malevolence.
Its arms soon fell off before it plopped over in disbelief at the small puny human. It felt like it just died to an ant, but then rewards happened to explode out of its body.
Two red-gold items blasted out of the monster and spun around with a magnificent Halo.
"Hmmm…. Two items to a legendary set…. Not bad."
He walked towards it with a smile before a man's voice entered his ear.
"Stop, don't touch that yet!"
