After awakening the floor boss it was difficult to make it out from this deep, so we decided to face it head on.
*ROAR*
*Dumph*Dumph*
We heard a loud roar and sounds of steps coming towards us, so we decided to hide somewhere and waited for its arrival, and then I would confront him head-on, while Veronica attacked his back.
*DUMPH*DUMPH*DUMPH*.
As the steps were coming close, the sounds of steps became even louder, then as he came in our view, we were amazed to see his height.
The giant skeleton was Eight metres tall, he had armour on, and a giant black coloured sword, and his eyes were glowing red.
Seeing his eyes, I felt fear for the first time in this life, but still if I wanted to become strong, then I could not back down at this time.
Swallowing my fear I came in front of him with my sword in my hand.
Seeing me, the giant skeleton, roared even more louder.
*ROAAAAAAAAR*
He slashed his black sword towards me, I didn't dodged it's sword and defend myself with my sword.
*CLANK*
A loud metal stroke resounded, but due to the force I was send flying, before hitting the wall, I created a shield, so I didn't get injured and immediately charged at him with boost.
Seeing me, he again Slashed his sword but this time i jumped in air, and formed a magic circle at my feet, and then Slashed in air, towards his chest area, where magic core was placed, black Slash formed and hit his armour, but his armour was too tough, so it didn't break but due to the force, he lost his balance.
Seeing an opening, I charged at him with closed eyes, and used "Three dark strike" at him, this move was too fast, from other persons view it was blurred movement and only three consecutive spark light could be seen.
(A/N:- when metal strikes metal it produces some sparks. It is because of Triboluminescence phenomenon.)
After my one of the strongest move I opened my eyes looked behind, the skeleton's one arm and one leg was cut down, but the third slash at his armour was not effective.
'shit, I need to improve my strength, it is just a D- rank monster and still I am struggling, I need to improve my strength as soon as possible, cause the catastrophe 5 yrs later would be of very high rank' I thought to myself.
When I was distracted due to shock, skeleton recovered his arm and leg.
'shit, I gave him too much time while thinking ' I cursed at myself and resorted to another high mana consuming spell.
I raised my sword towards the sky and spelled
"NIGHTMARE RAINFALL".
Hundreds of dark swords formed in the air and started falling towards Giant skeleton.
*Boom*Boom*Booom*
Sound of collisions started reverberating in the cave.
Whole area got covered in dust, I already had used my most of mana, and could not use this spell again.
As the dust settled down, my eyes became as wide as possible because.
*ROAAAAAAAAAR*.
Giant skeleton armour was already shattered but he was still standing.
'shit, I am exhausted, then it is time for plan B' I thought to myself and looked towards Veronica, who was hiding behind a rock at one corner, I told her before that I would give her a sign to attack untill then she should not rush the things.
Actually I wanted to kill this Giant by myself, but now it was not the time, cause I was already exhausted.
I gave her a signal, seeing my signal she immediately charged at the skeleton from the back using her aura she kicked at Giant skeleton's back bone where magic core was located.
*Creaak*
*Roooaaaaaar*
The skeleton back bone shattered and cracks started forming on his core, a Giant skeleton let out his final cry and turned into particles.
*Bush*
After Giant Vanished, it left a dark stone behind, as I started walking towards Veronica, I stopped in my tracks as I saw her eyes.
Her eyes were containing some tears and anger.
'She might scold me for not calling her sooner' I thought to myself and move towards her.
" MASTER, why didn't you called me sooner" as I thought, she is angry, i sighed and told her
"Haah, don't worry Veronica, look I am fine, I just wanted to test my limit".
Hearing my answer she pouted and turned her head away "Hmph".
"Ok-okay, look I am sorry, I will not do this next time, you know I just wanted to become stronger so that I can protect my family and that includes you too" I apologized to her and explained myself.
She turned her head towards me, her face was slightly flushed, then she said seriously
"M-master, you don't have to protect me, I will become stronger and protect you myself ".
"Hehe, so my dear Veronica want to protect me, is she falling for me?" I teased her.
"Master! You..." She shouted with flushed face.
"Ok-okay, sorry now collect the stone and then we can head outside"
"O-okay".
After 1/2hour we reached outside, since there were no monsters on the way because of anomaly, we reached sooner.
As we exited the dungeon we saw that there was commotion out there because of anomaly.
Seeing us the Guild staff ran towards us, and after 1/2 hour of interrogation, we were allowed to go, and they thanked us for co-operation.
The stones we had collected, can be sold outside in any shop, where armour and other accessories are forged.
But I sent these stones to my jwellery Shop, so they could use them for designing.
After defeating the floor boss by ourselves, Guild receptionist allowed us to go down to 2nd floor, which consisted only zombie monsters, human and dog zombies, and the floor boss is a Hybrid zombie which is of D-rank. But I still have some work before diving in 2nd floor.
Tomorrow, we had to go to the church, to check Veronica's aura rank, and that I wanted a dwarf maid, who could take care of my jwellery buisness.
