Chapter 73 - Test of mental Strength

Ullr was still training with his new bow but he found a new way to shoot, he discovered that when he clad his right hand in a tiny amount of mana he could easily pull the bowstring to a full draw, the shot was weaker but he could use it in battle.

But Ullr knew that even if he just got a new bow that it won't be enough to get through the dungeon to kill that guy.

Ullr contacted several players that went into the dungeon before to get more information, he was surprised when he found out that no one even cleared the second floor yet and nobody knew how many floors there were.

After talking for a while Ullr thanked the players and decided that he had to see this dungeon with his own eyes. Ullr just bought some more equipment and ventured into the first floor of the dungeon.

As described he found the wall carving that pictures what enemies he will encounter, but as he knew already what the enemies on this floor are he ignored it.

Ullr even brought a map that other players created to lead him through this floor and just as he took the third turn he heard some silent metallic noise, out of reflex he pulled out his bow and shot at the source that was 50 meters away and hit it.

Thanks to his bow and his new iron arrows he destroyed a small junkling without being touched by the shrapnel.

But Ullr couldn't relax just yet because he heard many metal feet run in his direction so he quickly turned around and ran until he found a long stretched corridor where the Junklings could only come from one side.

He quickly pulled out a special strengthened arrow out of his quiver and pulled his bow to a full draw without mana assistance.

Then he waited until the junklings were just several meters away from him and let the arrow go. Once again a loud booming sound was created and all the junklings were basically turned to dust while the arrow embedded itself into the wall without hope for recovery. Ullr was once again surprised by his bow even though he always heard a ringing sound after he shot it from the supersonic boom.

But Ullr had no time to waste he quickly sprinted to the boss room pulled out an arrow and shot his arrow at the boss while jumping over some scraplings that wanted to stop him. The Arrow flew and shattered the head and the should of the smithing bot and the boss died. Ullr cleared the first floor in record time.

But Ullr knew that couldn't let his guard down as the following floors will only get harder.

He descended the stairs and started walking through the labyrinth the map he had wasn't as accurate as the one from the first floor as many players died on the first floor. Suddenly when he was just checking his map he felt a pull on his left side and saw how a small robot grabbed some Arrows and ran away but it just reached several meters away before an arrow impaled it and nailed it to the ground.

Ullr cursed and quickly grabbed his stolen arrows and kept walking deeper into the dungeon. He repeatedly saw metal walls but he knew that most of them were dungeon monsters so he was especially careful when he walked by them. Ullr even got a weak poisoning after he stepped in a hole filled with mercury but his reflexes saved him before anything bad happened so he just had to take an antidote.

But soon he met his first real enemy in this dungeon, an Automata that is shaped like a demon, the main force of the army of the demonlord. Ullr quickly shot an arrow but the automata blocked it with its shield, while it fired its own crossbow. Ullr tried to evade it but he was still grazed by the crossbow bolt, he knew he had only one chance, Ullr ran to the Automata and tried to evade everything that was fired at him which still caused some more bleeding cuts but as soon as he was near the automata he suddenly jumped on the ground slid between the two legs of the Automata turned around and fired his bow, pierced the armor a hit the delicate mechanical parts. For a short time, everything was quiet the automata struggled to turn around but soon fell down to the ground defeated. Ullr knew that he had to hurry up as he wasn't sure if he could defeat another one of those bots, but he promised his brother some robot parts. So Ullr quickly chopped off some limbs and put them in his inventory.

Ullr ventured and quickly ran until he came to the boss room, and there he saw it a robot so strong that it has yet to be defeated, you could hear some high-pitched noise when it spun up the three barrels of his deadly gun. The floor was littered with corpses or what was left of them after the boss made some disfigured piles of flesh out of them with its weapon.

Even Ullr had no specific plan on how he would deal with it, he pulled another strengthened arrow out and ran in the direction of the boss to be in a range that ensures that he would hit. But as soon as he reached the range of the boss it spun up its barrels and started firing. Ullr stopped moving brought the bow to a full draw without the assistance of mana bullets whistled through the air nearly hitting him as the boss didn't have a precise aim. Ullr aimed but just when he wanted to let go a bullet hit his shoulder the bow turned away from the boss and Ullr missed he could just curse before his vision turned black when he was hit by another bullet in the chest. Ullr's vision returned and he was inside the colossal metal temple that was built for an unknown God, he knelt down worshipped him like everyone else and logged off. He was itching to try it again, but he knew that he would end like his brother if he did that...

All that happened while John was still pondering about the notifications he got when he finished Sebastian...
