Chapter 28: Trial (5)
I take their corpse and magic stone. I can sell it later for money. But I can't sell it directly though.
I need to wait for around 4 years to live independently.
I arrived at the fourth floor. The structure of this floor is different from the previous floor. There is only one way and I need to follow it until finding the way to the last floor.
The monsters on the fourth floor are kobolds. I wonder what kind of monster will come now...
I don't find any monster on the way.
Seriously?
I feel like I get easy difficulty you know.
As always, whenever I find the stairs for the next floor, the monster already waiting there. Right now the monster is a Wolf. His fur is glowing and there is strange mist surrounding him. His size is twice bigger than an ordinary wolf. He standing in front of the stairs as blocking my way.
I try to attack him from distance by throwing my mithril dagger with my buff. The dagger pierced his body, but he still alive. He immediately finds my location and charged to me with full speed.
Suddenly he multiple himself become three.
What??!!!
A surprise attack comes to me. I use my mana shield to protect myself from his attack.
I notice there's a mist around this area now which originally not.
When the mist surrounding me, the monster suddenly multiplied. Maybe this is just an illusion.
From the boy's memories, there is a type of monster like this. They can produce a mist from their body to use an illusion attack to deceive their prey.
Maybe this wolf is one of them.
I need to find the correct answer.
So I need to find his real body. I use my mana shield to block them from attacking me.
If he can pass my mana shield, then he is an illusion
If he can't pass, then he is the real body.
When they begin to move, two wolves pass trough my mana shield., and I mark them as an illusion. I already know his original body and continue to attack him.
He already injured by my dagger, and I can match his movement. He uses his claws to attack me but his attack is slow, I already know his illusion, so I only need to pay attention to the real one. I make some direct hit in his body, but he so tough.
After desperately struggling to attack me, the wolf dead.Maybe because blood lose.
He drops a big silver magic stone as a loot.
I take his corpse too and descending to the fifth floor.
On the fifth floor, there is only a room. The room is very wide and I can see a throne made by stone there. On the throne, there is a familiar monster that I know.
The Purple Orc, who invaded the Count's territory and chase me before.
What is he doing here?
As I thought, this abnormality is related to me.
He rises from his throne while holding his big sword. His body is 4 times bigger than me, with height around 3 meters and a muscular body.
He isn't an easy enemy huh..
I don't know, but I feel excited.
It feels like I can get my revenge on him.
I grinning before I know and taunt him.
He emitting strong pressure on me, but I can stand confidently. This is not me from before who only can run. This is a new "me"
I activate my buff right now.
He springs forward like a cannonball and swings his sword with full force.
I immediately cast multiple mana shield at once. My instinct screaming that's an attack is very dangerous.
My mana shield is broken easily, but his attack becomes weaker than before. I use my katana to block his sword.
But suddenly he uses his gigantic arm attack my stomach.
I already reach my limit when I block his attack and I use all my strength to defend myself from being crushed.
But this monster is clever, he attacks me when I careless. Shock waves tear through my body and I flying a few meters before I landed on the stone floor like a pebble.
My line of sight spins. I feel my blood rush to my mouth. This is very bad.
I don't wear any armor to protect my body, so I feel the impact directly.
I climb my feet on a trembling leg.
His face looks like having fun. He laughing me, my powerless.
Damn you!!!!!
I get to my feet but my knees are shaking. They could buckle anytime. His attack is stronger than I imagine.
With just one punch, he can make me flying even when I use a buff. What a crazy strength. Behind me is dungeon's wall now.
If my back against the wall, I won't able to dodge or escape because his body can block me anytime. If that happens, then it will be game over.
First I need to avoid the fight with narrow space. I need to find a way to get to the center of the room.
He focussing his attention on me. He wants to attack me once again and make a sharp turn.
It's feet sending dirt flying as it runs toward me.
He comes very fast!!
I leaped to the right side to evade his attack. I tucked my chin into my chest and roll a few times before jumping out of my feet.
Spin around and make a backroll after I make some distances. Slowly I move toward the center of the room.
He glares at me as I put some distance between us. He looks very displeased.
"RAWWRHHHH"
He plants his massive hoof on the ground and immediately closes our distance in one second.
I can hear the sound of wind being torn asunder, I crouch immediately. I feel the power of the monster's swing as his monstrous sword passes just above my head.
Damn it.
He is very fast, and never let an opening.
Is there a way to defeats him??
He continues his charge to me like madness beast. I continue to dodge his attack by hair margin. I need to end this as soon as possible. The longer I fight with him, the higher chance of dying.
I dodge his blow after blow, dancing with the death. The sword hits the ground and sends dirt and rubble flying into my body.
It just matters of time until I exhausted. Until now he keeps chasing me, but he showed no sign of tired.
This time, I will attack first. He blocks my sword easily. The metallic sound of our sword echoes around this room.
Clang.Clang.Clang
Each vibration carried a strong force that can cut any material. I pushed my self to my limit just to match him.
No matter how strong was his attack, it had to hit the target first. I still can fight!!
Like hell, I will die here!!
In the end, he is just a monster. His movement is straightforward and uncomplicated.
I just feel fear when I face him because he is bigger than me.
Yes. He is only bigger than me. Nothing to afraid anymore.
My eyes can see his movement clearly.
Let's end this quickly. I pretend to be exhausted to fool him.
He dashes to me once again. I already prepared a mana shield as an obstacle to making him fall when he runs. When he falls down, I cast tons of mana shield to hold him in the spot. The same technique when I killed the Hobgoblin.
With my mana shield pin him on the ground, he can't do anything now.
Fufufu.This is for revenge assholes.
I cut his head down mercilessly. His head rolled a few centimeters before stopped.
I pick his body up along with the sword and magic stone as a spoil of wars.
Suddenly I found myself in an unknown room like when I got my gift before.
"Congratulations, my child, you already clear this trial perfectly. I will grant your wish based the trial difficulty.''
Trial?
"May I ask you what do you mean by trial?"
I don't know who talked to me in this strange room. But I feel curious about the trial.
"Trial is made by God. In the future, humanity will face a complicated situation.Human need to get stronger to defeat stronger enemies. This trial will train humans to become stronger and we can give the talented human our blessing."
Trial = Dungeon huh.
"Then, can I wish I have normal eyes like other people?"
"I'm sorry I can't do that. Instead, I will give you a skill to changed your eye color."
Why????!!!????
Isn't very easy to change one eye color if you're God????
Why the hell do you give me skill huhhh????
"The skill name is Transformation. For now, you can change the small part of your bodies as you wish. It uses mana to keep it works so remember it. When it already on a high level, you can manipulate the object too."
"Why don't you just change my eye color directly??"
"I only can give you a blessing to strengthen yourself. Changes your eye color is out of the question. I apologize."
Kuh.Dammit.
"I hope your bright future, my child. You can come here when you clear another dungeon too."
"Oh."
I already annoyed by him.
A few moments later, I found myself on the 5th floor again.
Now I can change my eye color even it temporary. But I don't believe him too much.I need to find a suitable person to become my guinea pig and test this skill out.
With a complicated feeling, I come back to the surface. The sky still dark but I need to get back in the inn as soon as possible
