I run through the tunnel, a flickering flame hugging the exit. I walk out of the exit to see a large circus with hundreds of people walking around.
"This is still part of the dungeon?"
I mumble while walking through the crowd. After a few minutes of walking everyone starts running past me, bumping into me but knocking themselves over. I watch everyone run into a large black and red tent stretching about 100 feet high. I notice several people running passed me have either their mouths or ears sewed shut.
"What is this place?"
Several people stop running around me and smile. They all quickly grab my wrists and start trying to pull me towards the tent. I walk with them and look around. When we enter the tent, I see a circular spectator section reaching almost all the way around the tent. Across from us is a large throne, almost 50 feet tall.
A large curtain behind the throne flies open as a large demon ducks down and walks in. His wings are wrapped around him, almost like a cloak. His skin is black as night, and he has 6 large horns on his head.
[Level 540]
[Ursinath, Emperor of Sin]
He walks to the center of the tent and smiles. He speaks, his words rattling my very bones.
"My children, I see we have some new guests today! May the bloodshed appease your darkest desires."
He says, his rough voice instantly silencing everyone around. I see a man stand up and slowly walk towards Ursinath.
"I-I don't know how I got here. I just want to go home to my family."
He says loudly as Ursinath nods his large head.
"Fine, I'll give you a test. If you pass, I'll send you home."
He says while walking back to his throne.
"Who ever wishes to administer the test, please step forward."
Ursinath says calmly. Almost instantly, about 30 people run up around him. They all pull daggers and start to jump on the poor man. I smile and teleport into the crowd, quickly killing and ripping the people with daggers apart.
Ursinath laughs deeply.
"You."
He points to me and stands up.
"I do hope you put on a good show."
Ursinath says while cutting his wrist with his jagged fingernails. As his blood hits the ground, it forms 4 new demons.
[Level 223]
[Malanite, Blood of The Emperor]
I sigh and quickly dispatch the demons. I only use my fists against them, watching them burst as my fists blow them apart.
Ursinath laughs and smiles.
"I will admit, it has been quite a while since I've met anyone that can fight at all. Maybe I should indulge myself as well."
He waves his hand, instantly blowing the tent away and killing several people. The man that wanted to go home is now just sitting on his hands and knees, crying.
"Pathetic."
Ursinath growls as I sigh and pull out my dagger. When Ursinath starts to move, I dash to his legs and slash him repeatedly.
I wonder, can I use Skill: Flurry X18 with only one hand?
He laughs while I slice him over and over. I notice, after all my hits, I haven't even broke his skin yet.
"Child, do you know why I admire you?"
He asks as I glare up at him. He laughs and summons a large flaming red scythe.
"Because, in my thousands of years alive, only eight beings have ever made me draw my weapon."
He slowly stands up as I pull out the Apocalypse Thorn.
My stats are too high, I'll break the new dagger with my first swing, but maybe the enchantment will also apply if I'm just holding it.
I think as I quickly dash towards Ursinath and slash his foot. Blood splatters out as I hear him almost gasp. He quickly stomps down towards me, but I easily jump back away from him. As me feet hit the ground, I see his scythe sweeping towards me.
I manage to narrowly jump over the bright red blade, but the heat still burns my skin and clothes.
[-270,000 HP]
[+52,500 HP]
I grit my teeth and hold out my left hand while holding the new dagger.
"[Telekinesis 10]."
I watch him float off the ground as his eyes widen. I float him high above the ground then use [Teleport] and appear on the back of his neck.
I laugh maniacally as I use Skill: Flurry X18 repeatedly on the back of his head and neck using only my right hand. Blood gushes out, almost fully covering my body as I continue. He screams in pain as he flails wildly in the air.
So the enchantment does apply. So as long as I'm holding the weapon, I don't have to attack with it. Though, I'm pretty sure I'm only getting the strength buff from it.
After several more seconds of slashing him faster, and faster, a notice appears.
[Skill Evolved!]
[Flurry X18 > Flurry X42]
I laugh as I proceed to cut him more and more. After nearly a minute, I slip on the stream of blood and fall forward. I fall into the deep hole I've carved out of his neck and through the thin skin at the front of his throat. I fall from almost 200 feet off the ground and land with a loud thud.
[-29,000 HP]
[+29,000 HP]
I stand up quickly and release Ursinath from [Telekinesis 10]. His limp body falls to the ground, but I see him healing on the way down. As he crashes to the ground dust and debris is kicked up, completely obscuring my vision.
"I will give you credit where credit is due, no one else has pushed me that hard in a very long time."
He says slowly as I take a deep breath.
"[Field of Anger 5], [Field of Life 5], [Bloody Wraith 5], [Wrath 5], [God of Slaughter]."
[All Stats Increased 5X]
[Regeneration Increased 5X]
[Speed and Strength Increased 20X]
[Strength Increased 10X]
[Strength Increased 30X]
[30 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
[10% of HP Consumed Per Second]
Must be [God of Slaughter] causing that new effect.
I take a step forward, instantly blowing away all the dust and cratering the ground.
"Here I come."
I immediately appear in front of Ursinath and kick him up into the air.
[29 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
[90% HP Remaining]
"[Teleport 2]."
I appear behind him and punch him with everything I have, a hole ripping through his body and sending him back to the ground instantly. I quickly kick the air hard enough to compress it and fling myself towards him.
With one powerful punch, I crater his face into the dirt and create a crater 30 feet wide in the ground.
As he slowly heals, I unload everything I have into his face.
FLURRY: X42
I watch blood splatter everywhere as the crater grows larger and deeper with every punch. After 3 uses of flurry X42, a notification appears.
[Hidden Boss Slain!]
[Claim Hidden Rewards?]
[Yes/No]
I continue to punch his face into the dirt with everything I have. As I stop, I look at how much time is remaining.
[25 Seconds Until Buffs Wear Off]
[50% HP Remaining]
I quickly cancel my buffs as I feel a shooting pain in my arms and legs. I sit on top of his dead body for a few minutes, breathing slowly and healing. When I start feeling normal again, I click yes.
[Ring of Bloodlust]
[Gauntlets of Slaughtering]
[HexCalibur]
I stare at the third item as a longsword of black and red appears next to me. The handle and blade is pitch black with flaming red inlays and ornate designs. Several red linked circles make their way up the blade. I quickly pick it up.
-HexCalibur: ???-
Special Quality: Attacks done against living creatures do 1,000% more damage.
Legendary Quality: Increases Wielder's strength by 10X
Epic Quality: Weapon cannot be broken.
Supreme Quality: Any Weapon struck by this weapon immediately cracks and shatters. Unbreakable weapons are unaffected by this ability.
I stare at the sword before smiling and picking it up. A sheathe appears next to me, so I quickly pick it up as well. I sheathe the sword and start walking back towards the entrance to the dungeon.
"Now, lets find out who pushed me into this dungeon."
