Chereads / Empyrean Defiance / Chapter 39 - Boss Room

Chapter 39 - Boss Room

"How long this will last!?" Prince Elijah could only say as they fought against wolves vigorously. "Just hang on, cousin! I'm sure the end is near! We just need to persist!" Heracles said in response. His smile from before was removed from the hardships they were facing.

It was ideal to enter the dungeon with a lot of people. That's why the three were having such a hard time because they were fighting against something that were supposed to be dealt with a bigger number of people.

'Although we fought against numerous people at that time, the eleventh prince is still having a hard time against these wolves. Well, dungeons are really different than that conflict. I am just going to support the two of them because only by experiencing things like this would help these two pillars of the domain!' Leonard thought to himself.

After defeating a couple more packs of wolves, Heracles stumbled upon a huge door. He shouted toward his two companions, "I found a humongous door!!! Is this the so-called 'Boss Room'!?"

Upon hearing him, Leonard and Prince Elijah immediately ran toward his side as fast as they could. When they reached his side, the two looked each other with a smile. Leonard said at that moment, "This is the spot, Suns of the Domain!"

 

Heracles and Prince Elijah jumped in joy upon realizing that their hard work finally paid off. As they were resting, Leonard decided to explain everything to the two princes of the domain. He said with a serious expression, "Suns of the Domain, I have something to tell the two of you."

Heracles and Prince Elijah immediately turned their attention to their escort knight. Without hesitation, Leonard explained to them, "We can now decided what to do in the dungeon. We can try to rest here for the night, BUT we need to switch guard duties in order to safeguard our safety. At the same time, we can also enter the boss room now and deal with the boss and his minions as soon as we could. If we finish the floor boss, we can rest there full time without taking guard duties since the boss will not respawn for a long period of time."

The two prince looked at each other as they wondered what the right thing to do. Prince Elijah said to them, "We can probable use our strong skills now to deal with the boss as swiftly as we could. We had a hard time dealing with the numerous packs of wolves because we try to fight them using minimal skills."

"I agree with you, cousin. I think it is probably time to use a lot of our Epic-tier skills and Legendary-tier skills to deal with the floor boss," said Heracles in agreement.

Upon some thinking, Leonard said to the two princes, "On second thoughts, I think I will just stay behind, Suns of the Domain. Since this is your training, I will standby and just interfere when the worst is about to unfold!"

The two princes agreed without a second thought to their escort knight. 'As expected of these two princes, they agreed to me like it is a normal thing. The two great princes wanted the two of them to grow as great warriors. Therefore, helping them too much might interfere with that goal!' Leonard thought to himself as he looked toward the two princes of the Domain.

After resting for half an hour, the three warriors decided it was about time for them to deal with the floor boss. "Let us go!" said Heracles with great determination. Prince Elijah followed with the same determination as his cousin.

As soon as they opened the door, a notification suddenly appeared in front of the two princes.

[You got a special quest from your system!]

Heracles said, "I got a-!" At the same time, Prince Elijah said the same thing, so the two princes stopped speaking before they could finish their sentence.

A moment later, Heracles asked his cousin, "Did you also got a special quest, cousin?" In response, Prince Elijah nodded with excitement in his eyes, "Yes! If we got a special quest at the same time, the details must be the same as the other! Let's take a look!"

Upon hearing him, Heracles said without any hesitation, "System, show me my new special quest at once!"

[You reached the first boss of the dungeon! This is your first step in conquering a lot of its floor!

You need to prove that you can finish this dungeon by showing your strength in full force!

~ Kill the floor boss and his minions in less than five minutes!

~ In case of failure, you will be penalized by 100 random stats point!

~ Upon finishing your quest, you will receive 50 free stats points!

~ At the same time, you will receive a new Legendary-tier skill!

~As a bonus, you will also receive 2,000 experience points!]

Upon seeing the content of his special quest, Heracles looked at Prince Elijah that has the same expression as him. He asked him with a very serious expression, "Cousin, do you have a Legendary-tier skill or Mythical-tier skill that we can use to instantly deal with the minions?"

"I have a Legendary-tier skill that might be able to handle that task!" said Prince Elijah with a serious expression. "Okay, then we have a plan! Use that Legendary-tier skill and I will deal with the floor boss at the next moment!" said Heracles with great conviction.

Prince Elijah did not hesitate on following after his cousin's lead. After hearing from his father about the Triton Organization Invasion, he can't underestimate his cousin that fought with his knight escort against a strong organization.

As he followed the two prince, Leonard thought to himself, 'Prince Heracles is planning on using THAT skill, huh? It seems like they received a quest that limit their time in dealing with the boss. Now, I can see up close that terrifying skill that is used by the Overlords of the Domain as a proof of power!'

"OWOOOOOO!!!!"
