"Search the entire floor. The floor boss has to be somewhere around." I ordered my summons to look around a seemingly empty floor.
I stepped down the stairs and advanced carefully onwards, deeper into the dungeon's darkness. I passed through many different passages, some were dead ends, some of which had collapsed, others led to who knows where, or what. I eventually made it to what looked like the final room. But an ominous metal door blocked my path. The door had strange writings all over it. The walls around the gate were mossy and had many cracks however the gate was, somehow untouched by time and the elements. I stepped closer to inspect it but... what was that sound?
It sounded like something was shackled in chains and was trying to break free from it. Something was odd about the door as well, it didn't had a lock but a stone tablet engraved in it. The stone tablet wasn't ordinary either. It had a gap in it of roughly about the size of my demonized right hand. I place it on the tablet and suddenly the runes on the door started glowing and the door disappeared. I stepped inside the room, and a message appeared.
********************
WELCOME BACK MY LORD.
********************
"Wait. What? This is the first time I've been in this room. And since when did you start this 'my lord' crap?" I asked Nicholas.
I turned around to go and recall my summons, once they were here I could take care of whatever or whoever the floor boss was. But there was no door to pass through.
"This again?" I sighed. "You know I could simply switch my places with a warpface right? Why do you even try to pull this type of crap again and again. Switch!"
Nothing happened. I was still inside the chamber.
"SWITCH!"
Still nothing.
********************
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THIS CHAMBER UNTIL YOU DEFEAT THE DUNGEON MASTER.
********************
"This is just crap. You can't keep pulling stunts like this and then expect me to go along with it!"
No response.
"Fine, I'll do it myself, summons or not." I said and started walking deep into the chamber, towards the source of the clunking sound. "Is that a... dragon?"
I was looking at a huge dragon, the dragon had a stocky, long body with a thick tail. Its metallic scales were midnight black. This dragon had four short limbs with three splayed digits on each foot that end in long, sharp claws. It had large wings running from its shoulders to the end of its tail. This dragon had a tiny mouth with a pronounced underbite and fine, sharp teeth. It had small eyes that were cherry red and a series of hair-like, tendrils extends, from the back of its head. While Spiky, bony knobs surrounded its mouth. A hornlike projection juts straight out between its nostrils and two curly horns extended backwards from its forehead. The dragon looked at me and flew up, to my horror the shackles that were supposed to hold the dragon down were already broken. But even if they were broken, I thought he would be able to rise much higher since we were inside a dungeon, this however turned out to be a misconception, because what I thought was the ceiling of the dungeon turned out to be a starless, cloudy sky.
The dragon flew higher and higher. Looked down on me and started spewing blue fireballs on me.
********************
USER SKILL : HASTE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
********************
I Frantically started dodging the endless stream of fireballs that rained down on me from the sky. I retaliated by using starfire barrage on the dragon but every single one of the fiery bullets, bounced off the dragon's black scales.
I can't fight it while the dragon is airborne, I have to force it to get down somehow. But how? I could use TORMENT but in order to use it, the target should be close to me and the dragon was up in the air, still busy shooting fireballs at me, I looked up at the sky... The sky! That's it!
I grabbed Vruukor's sword from the inventory, if there was sky, then there could be lightning.
I smirked.
********************
SWORD SKILL : HEAVEN'S DOWNFALL HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
********************
I swung the sword while dodging yet another fireball. The sky crackled and the dragon got hit with various lightning bolts, but kept flying. I started swinging the sword again and again. The dragon managed to dodge most of them, but even the ones which connected, weren't much effective. I continued the onslaught and kept barraging the dragon with the lightning. But continuous use of this skill had consequences too, I soon starting to get exhausted and stamina was one thing I couldn't afford to lose, specially when I still had another floor left to clear. I grabbed the sword like a javelin.
********************
USER SKILL : MINONIAN RAGE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
********************
This was my last shot at taking this dragon down. If I was able to connect this, then it'll be all over for the dragon. With this thought in my mind, I aimed the sword art the dragon's right wing and threw it at him with all my might. The sky began to crackle once again, but this time the lightning bolts weren't aimed at the dragon but at the sword which absorbed it all. A field of thunder surrounded the sword. The dragon tried to evade the incoming thunderous nuke, but couldn't. With one last crackle, the dragon's black wing was severed and the dragon rapidly fell down. I walked down to where the dragon had fallen, grabbed Vruukor's sword that was still embedded in the dragon's back and ripped open his chest as the dragon roared for one last time.

********************

As soon as the message ended the grey colored ring started to glow and absorbed the fallen dragon's body. Finally I was able to get another elite summon, and a dragon at that too.
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!
Someone started clapping behind my back, I turned around and saw a man wearing a black cloak was standing there looking intently as me. The man stopped clapping, looked me in the eye and said...
"Well done. I wouldn't expect anything less from Xorzorud's vessel. Too bad but fun time is over." He said pointing two swords at me. "Time to die."
