Chapter 18 - A Talentless Magician's Talent

RESUME

The giant appeared above them and stomped on them killing them all except Pon. "Grugh?" The giant monster roared in confusion making it more angry.

"Aack!" Pon fell down in a big room with big white pillars full of gold.

"Whoa, That's a big fall, Thank goodness I activated Permeation in time if not I would have died," Pon said as he stood up and appraised the gold.

"It's real this time! HAHAHAHA." Pon laughed in surprise. "Though it's useless in this place." Pon thought to himself as he put all the gold in his space bag.

After collecting all the gold Pon walks to the end of the room with an altar, above the altar is a wooden rusty chest.

"It needs a key? Where do I get the key " Pon thought to himself as he look in his space bag if the key is with gold.

"Here it is." POn inserted a key and opened the chest. Inside the chest is a ticket.

[Request Ticket (I)]

[This Request ticket is the lowest and only has the ability to give information]

"YES!" Wait for what? Pon said as the labyrinth shook and the pillar collapsed.

[Labyrinth Cleared]

[Labyrinth will be destroyed in 4:57]

"Shit! How do I leave here when I only enter by accident?" Pon said as he break the ceiling with his club the ceiling collapsed making a hole and the giant monster fell.

"Grrrrrruggggg!!" The monster roared and punched Pon and the monster's punch made a hole Pon left and went into the hole escaping and completely destroying the labyrinth.

Upon escaping Pon revived the dead monsters killed by the giant monsters and suddenly the ground shook and the runnel of the destroyed labyrinth moved and the hand of the giant monster showed.

"Attack it before it fully escapes," Pon screamed to order his monsters scaring the wild monsters around them.

All of them poured all of their attacks and managed to cut its hand and the monster jumped and roared and regenerated his hand surprising them. Pon used his Predation skill but to no avail and was punched by the giant monster and knocked back to the mountain.

Pon miraculously survived the attack after being knocked back from so far away but all of his equipped armour and artifacts were destroyed.

[Special Attribute Of The 'Barbarian Armour Set' was activated]

[Prevents the user from dying by negating 99% of Damage Taken]

[Barbarian Chestplate Destroyed including +23 others]

"Destroyed all of them in just one hit? Most of doesn't even have damage on their durability and their all legendary grade. If this is what the power of the boss of a Labyrinth how strong even is the gods?" Pon asked himself while he breathed heavily.

[Tame 'Bite' and +102 others have died]

"How do I beat that monster? Ack, it's attracted to me!" The monster jumped as he clench his fist and punch Pon when it was about to land but Pon escaped death for the third time ripping the ticket he was rewarded.

"Hmm 'Request Ticket (I)'? Tell me the information you thirst for?" A woman said in a red dark cloak sitting on floating a human-sized globe.

"I want to know how I can beat the monster that almost killed me trice," Pon said as he look up to the Woman and disappeared and reappeared like the previous gods he met.

"The Boss Monster you are talking about has no weakness it is completely up to you on how you want to fight it. I gave you the information you need. Go back." The woman said and forwarded his hand and flick the air blowing back Pon to the door and returning to the Mountain.

"WTF!! USELESS GOD!!" Pon said as he run away from the giant monster. The monster roared and chased Pon and jumped and smashed the ground again.

"Fuck!!!" Pon said as he passed out and the monster lost its interest and grabbed attacked the nearest monster it saw and wreak havoc on the speed island.

"What's that big guy doing? Pon said as he stood up and went to his berserker state and pulled out a sword and threw it towards the monster making a hole in its body.

"Grugh?" The monster felt something hit him but doesn't know who and where so it continued to rampage and kill its sees.

Pon jumped towards the giant monster as he pulled out his club and swung it at the monster but instead of the monster taking damage the club broke into pieces as it hits the giant monster.

Pon created a gust of air and blowing the sand and temporarily blinding the giant while Pon cast a Dark Saucer also planting a Time bomb and throwing it at the monster and running luring the monster to the shore.

Pon manipulated the water of the ocean to make a tsunami without using the ultimate skill, Pon protected himself using passive skills 'Coating' and 'Black Water'.

[Black Water]

[The Passive Skill of the Water Sorcerer Class makes the user's mana fused to the water that the user is manipulating. This Skill Makes the Water remove the impurities and replace them with dark magic]

The giant monster keeps trying to attack Pon but he easily manages to avoid all the incoming attacks while using 'Fog' and dual cast the two ultimate lightning skills of the Lightning Magician and Lightning Sorcerer Class.

[Fog]

[The Passive Skill of the Wind Sorcerer Class fused the user's dark mana to the manipulated air to create a fog. The Skill Can be used to make the opponent temporarily lose track of the user while also dealing dark magic damage to the opponent]

Even with two ultimate attacks, there is still no change in the monster's speed and strength and because of that Pon retreated and cast other spells depleting all of his mana.

Pon ran away as fast as possible as he cast spells to slow down the giant monster and return himself to normal. 'Is the monster killed?" Pon asked himself as the monster roared and created a shockwave and answered Pon's question.

"I need to escape even the berserker is no match?" Pon thought as he run towards the mountain and brought the other snakes to their base.

On their way back to their base they set up spell traps for the giant boss monster and they also see the other monsters running and panicking not because of Pon but because the giant boss monster's mana was overflowing from it's body and overwhelming all the other monsters. It was normal for them because of their monster instinct to fear the strong to avoid being prey.

They arrived back on their base where the others are up above the surface after sensing the giant boss. "Bite, fill everyone about what happened and get all of them ready. I'll go in the records. Pon ordered Bite as he jump down the cave and rushed to the mines going to the record.

Pon barged into the records shouting and calling out Amare's name. Amare was nowhere to be found in the record so he explored the record and saw an odd bookshelf at the end of the far most aisle with all the book's spine facing inward.

Pon grabbed a book from the odd bookshelf but the book is empty with nothing written on it. But the cover of the book is written in a language Pon doesn't understand. Hoping something will happen Pon made all the books face inward.

Nothing happens but Pon noticed on all the books in the spine of the books the characters are slowly changing to English where Pon finally understands what was written in the books. "Letters? L, XIV,XX ,IV?" Pon said as he remembers that these are not just random numbers. "Roman numerals!" Pon said and then he arrange all the books in order where the shelf shook and revealing a hidden room.

Where He sees Amare eating what looks like a black heart. The smell of it reeks that almost made Pon vomit. "What are you doing? Ugh." Pon asked as covered his mouth and look away and almost puked.

"What you see here is the reason why I'm still alive. Have you not wondered how I'm still here even after thousands of years?" Amare said while she cut a piece of the heart and put it into her mouth chewing and swallowing it as she looked at Pon.

"What? How?" Pon asked still in disgust as Amare lift up the cloth covering her table revealing that the table is actually a cage of monsters passed out.

"These are demons 'Real Demons' that came from the 14th Continent and they are over a hundred years old meaning that their heart is fully developed," Amare said and stop and took another bite.

"And?"

"Eating a Fully Developed heart increases your lifespan by 50 years," Amare said as She took a bite again. "Okay never mind that. I need help I accidentally released a giant boss monster from the labyrinth we cleared."

"Okay, So what does this monster look like?" Amare asked while her face slowly reformed and turn back to looking young. "Ignore that, That's just the effect of the Demon Heart kicking in." She stood up and sit looking at Pon.

"Th-The monster is gigantic it doesn't have ears so it doesn't have good hearing but it does have 2 horns looking like an antler, The monster also looked like an ogre and a cyclops combined and has a" tusk as its mouth.

"The monster wears dirty white ragged clothes and shackles connected to a giant metal ball on each foot."

"I see I'm not sure which one you are talking about on the second floor 8th aisle bookshelf 7 you can find a book called Guardian of the Labyrinth an-" Pon left and rushed to get the book before Amare even finish and Amare just laughed.

Pon opened the books and see monsters and their abilities and weakness. After almost checking the whole book he found a monster similar to the monster but it's not the same as the giant boss monster Pon fought. "They look similar but this is not him!" Pon said and went back to Amare and asked that the monster n the book is different.

"If it's not the guardian it's probably that guy.: Amare said as she stood up and walk towards the door exiting the hidden room.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Pon said as he also left the room and the bookshelf and books returned to their original placement shocking Pon. "What the?!?"

"Follow me," Amare said as they walk and talk about the monster while they are walking up the stair and walked towards the opposite side of the aisle Pon went to before when getting the Book about the guardians.

They went to the first aisle and went to the last bookshelf and Amare grabbed a book and handed it to Pon. "This might be the book you are looking for," Amare said after handing Pon the book and returning down and sitting at the table and reading a book.

"I really hope that this book has at least 1 useful piece of information that I can use," Pon said as he look seriously at the book.
