"What does that mean? <
I mumble to myself as I see my shoulder slowly heal. I hold my dismembered right arm up to my shoulder and watch it slowly heal back together. I quickly open up my status page and close it after a quick look.
"So it has to change the rate at which I level up. Maybe that was the one applying when I used no tools."
I whisper before slowly walking back down the passage I came from.
"If the other bosses are all that strong, I'm not sure I'll be able to beat them. But it doesn't seem I can leave until I defeat them."
I continue walking until I reach the entrance portal. I see 2 other passages. One left, the other right. I sigh and walk down the left path. Several more
I wonder if experience gain is disabled in dungeons? Normally after an encounter I receive my experience, unless that means I'm expected to be attacked at any point.
I think to myself as I continue walking. As I reach the end of the passage I see a large creature made of ice. The room its standing in also has large shards of ice inside the room. I move to the side so I can see above its head.
"So [Hellfire 2] should work really well, right?"
I mumble as I fill the room with the black flames. The flames wrap around the golem and it quickly melts away.
[Mini-Boss Slain!]
"That one was much easier, but that may just be due to the matchup."
I say as I walk back to the portal and down the final passageway. After a few minutes, the cave opens up into a throne room. I see a tall man with black metal armor sitting on the throne. Behind him is several glass cases of weapons.
He looks up to me and slowly stands up. He watches me for several seconds before reaching to his sides with both arms and summoning 2 large swords.
I wonder what the difference between a level 150 and a level 145 is.
I think to myself as I get ready. It watches me cautiously and slowly walks towards me.
"[Telekinesis 5], [Hellfire 2]!"
I see him float off the ground and black flames start whipping around him. After 10 seconds the flames vanish, revealing hardly no damage done to him. He pulls his arms back, readying to throw his swords.
"[Hellfire 2], [Hellfire 2], [Hellfire 2]."
I cast the spell repeatedly, heavy black flames eating away at his swords and his armor slowly. After another 10 seconds I see half of his swords are destroyed, but very little damage is done to him.
"Shit! [Hellfire 2]. [Hellfire 2]. [Hellfire 2]. [Hellfire 2]."
I cast it repeatedly as I feel myself running out of breath.
That spell takes a lot out of me. I'm not sure how long I can keep this u-
Through the black flames, his sword flies through and cuts my cheek slightly. It barely cuts an inch into my cheek.
[-6,000 HP]
[+75 HP]
The damage breaks my concentration enough to release [Telekinesis 5]
"Shit."
I murmur as I see him charging me with the other damaged sword, black flames clinging to him slightly. He jumps up and slams the chipped and melting blade down towards me, but I manage to evade it by a few inches. The tile floor chips and explodes from his sword hitting it.
"[Hellfire 2]!"
I yell once more as black flames fully melt his blade and damage him a little more. I watch his metal gauntlets warp into sharp claws. It once more charges me and swings wildly with its claws, I narrowly dodge each swing.
I have to give thanks to my luck. Without luck, I'd be dead already.
I think as I jump back repeatedly, dodging and blocking every attack to the best of my abilities. It suddenly slams its claws down towards me, but I barely step out of its reach. While its claws are in the ground, I jump up its arm and punch him in the face as hard as I can. He stumbles back but recovers and starts pushing me even harder.
His strength and constitution both have to be ridiculously high, even with dodging and counter attacking when I can, I don't feel like I've even hurt him.
I think as I continue my defensive style. Almost an hour goes by, defending and attacking when I can, when suddenly his style changes. On my 35th hit against him, he jumps back. His left arm melts into his body, forming a sword in his right hand.
"Shit, this isn't good. At least I stalled enough to heal back to full HP."
I say as he lunges towards me and swings several times per second. I narrowly dodge his first 4 swings, but his 5th catches my left shoulder and flings me into the wall. I feel blood roll down my chest as I see the notice appear.
[-10,600 HP]
[+75 HP]
On the slightest cut he almost kills me, this is crazy.
I think as I touch my shoulder.
Completely numb, I'm going to be off balance.
I have a random idea, and hold out my right hand.
"[Telekinesis 5]!"
I scream as I slam him to the ground. As he lays flat I run over and kick him in the head as hard as I can. I start kicking and punching as hard as I can, his hand slowly breaking free from [Telekinesis 5] and reaching towards my legs after dropping his sword. I feel my heart pounding as I punch, kick, and scratch him with everything I have. As his fingers touch my leg, I notice an opening in his armor.
I quickly put my palm to the opening and scream.
"[Fireball 2], [Fireball 2], [Fireball 2]!"
His armor contorts and expands as fire shoots from the gaps in the plates. His fingers wrap around my ankle as I jam my hand inside the slightly weakened hole in his armor.
"[Hellfire 2]!"
I scream as black flames rip and swirl around inside of him. I watch his back and ribs start melting as his hand starts crushing my ankle.
[-1,200 HP]
[+75 HP]
After several more seconds his grip loosens up and the notice appears.
