44 Chapter 45 (1/2)
It's been 10 minutes since I have gone inside but I never expected that I am still in 5% in the dungeon. Also, the GraveEaters are still here with more power and more HP. I killed them for a least 16 times already.
”GraveEaters(Elite)”
Level 40
HP: 13,000/13,000
Attribute: Undead, Darkness
Thanks to the lingering effect of the Decade Spiritual Tea, my fatigue did not raise fast enough despite the countless usage of the skills.From the looks of it, the GraveEaters are now in their limits. As they kept on consuming the dead and the other mobs for their own revival, it made me able to survive without ceaselesslykilling monsters without stopping. I only need to employ my strategy on killing these monsters. At first, my combo is Earth Fissure, Freezing Prison, and Thunderbolt but now I added the Splash potion series in the battle as they can also give decent damage against them which I really needed. In actuality, they were one of the most life saving skills, they also have no cooldown and only consume mana. But even so, I dare not abuse it. Using a multiple potions with the same effect is quite useless unless you want to cover a wider range of damage as the effects do not usually stack.The enemies are also getting small as time pass by. From what I can see around, there are no more enemies worth to beat, only the GraveEaters left.
”Let's finish this crap!” I growled and quickly rushed towards them while quickly changing my weapon into a hammer.
”Berserk!”
”Critical Aura!”
”Absolute Defense!”
I am not gonna lie here, in reality, my mind is clearly fatigued. But since I was already used to it, I will keep it up. Seeing me change the tactics, the GraveEaters was in a sudden panic. From the repeated techniques I did earlier, of course, these monsters gain knowledge on what to do the next attack begin but after my new pattern that they don't recognize, I can sense that they did not even have the slightest idea on how to block me. In the end, they charged to me straight without any kind of plan. Just a mind of a monster I see.
”DIE!”
As I get near the nearest GraveEater, before it can do any harm at me, I quickly swing the weightless hammer hard which gained weight as it launches to the GraveEater.
BANG!
As if a glass, the GraveEater lost all life it has within and shattered to pieces before flying in a distance.
-15,000! Critical!
I did not bother looking at the result log, I quickly do another casual full powered swing.
BANG!
This time, it did not result into a kill but it still drained half of its HP. Since I have not finished my assault, I once again swing the hammer on the unfortunate fellow and before he can react, he met his demise.
-LEVEL UP!
Oh, I did not notice that but crap, I got distracted and a GraveEater pounced on me.
”Sh*t!”
-9, 143
From my 13,000 HP, It fell drastically, making me panic. Dang! I shouldn't have gotten distracted! Before the other GraveEaters find their way to me, I quickly used the Ninja skill, Substitute.
Substitute can replace me and will instead catch all the damage I will take before sending me away from the enemy. It was convenient if not for the cooldown of 20 minutes. As my HP is slowly falling, I will use this now.
”Substitute!”
A faint glow envelopes my body before I realized that I was teleported a few meters away from the attacks and there stood a replica of mine. While they are preoccupied, I quickly healed myself with Healing Heart and Rapid Regeneration which rapidly put my health back to full bar.
The Magician skills are all done in cooldown now, let's do this!
”Freezing Prison!”
As the GraveEaters are all frozen on the spot, I quickly cast the Poison Splash and Flame Splash all together and throw it to the monsters. Since Flame Splash is a Flame type attack, Freezing Prison melted causing them to break free. But due to the additional effect of Poison which is slowing enemies down, I did not need to use Petrify Splash to deal with them. With consistent damage, I quickly need to attack them now. Changing my weapon into a Staff, drank another bottle of Wizard Potion and chant the necessary chant.
”Lord of Lightning, heed my call to strike my foes with divine retribution that smites the darkness that lives within! Thunderbolt!”
CRACKLE!
The power of the Thunderbolt was very strong and can be considered as a destructive Tier 2 skill upgrade of the Shocking Lightning. What made me more happy is the fact that it was enhanced further by the Wizard Potion I just drank earlier.
ZZZZZZZ!
The electricity continues to travel in their undead body until their HP fell to zero. This time, they did not crawl back to shadows but instead fell and turned to dust.
Huffing and puffing, I knelt powerlessly on the ground. That was still a mere Elite Monster, what is more on the Boss Room? Well, I already have an idea how hellish it is but still I need to go on. My Fatigue Level is already 42%. Still far from 100% but I still feel a bit heavy and groggy.As I swept the drops on the floor without bothering to look at them, I quickly made my long strides towards the Boss Room.
There are no more monsters on sight which made me happy a bit since I have no time to deal with them if ever they appear. Within two minute walk, I finally arrived at the boss room door.
