Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Secret Lair
As Ray looked around the room, more cracking sound was made, then the door locked with a loud banging sound.
"Shit!" Ray shouted as he ran and tried to open the door, but it was shut.
"So I locked myself in. Why did I touch that stupid stone?" Ray shouted, and his voice echoed through the room.
A blue light alerted Ray, and he turned his back and found a portal opened in the center of the room.
*Ding Ding*
A system alert came in.
Secret lair found, complete secret lair to continue the dungeon.
"Wonderful," Ray said with a sigh,
"I'm locked in a room, and the only way out is to clear a secret lair. Who knows what kinds of monsters are down there? Well, not like I have much of a choice."
Ray stepped into the portal.
The portal took him to an entirely different room. He looked around and noticed it was not like the dungeon; the room was fully lit with more than 20 torches, and the room's design also differed from the dungeon.
He looked back, and the portal that brought him had vanished, leaving only him in the room.
*Ding*
Secret lair discovered
Reward: New skills [Inspect]
[Inspect]level 1: view stats of anyone within view range by looking directly in their eyes.
"New skill just like that. Maybe the lair isn't bad after all," Ray shrugged.
New Quest
Quest: Defeat lair boss
Reward: 100Exp 1Ap(Attribute point) and 1Sp(Skills point)
"This secret lair also has a boss, and the reward is very tempting. I hope it is easy," Ray murmured to himself.
A cracking sound made Ray ready himself for any incoming enemies, the ground opened slightly, and stone began to form a humanoid monster. As the creature finished taking shape, a staff appeared in its hand.
A bright red light shone at the top of the staff as the eyes of the monster opened, shining red.
'Woah! scary,' Ray thought as he looked at the creature.
Name: ////
Race: Stone golem mage
Level: 3
Skills: 3
'This doesn't provide much information, only race, and level. The skills just showed as 3. It didn't even mention them, maybe because the skill is still low level.' he thought to himself after using identify on the golem
"Okay, here comes the first attack," Ray muttered to himself as the mage hit his staff on the ground, Ray looked around, and nothing happened.
'What did that mage do?' Ray was alert. Immediately five stone golem formed in front of Ray, five at once!
"So one of the mage skills is to bring more minions."
The first stone golem ran towards Ray,
Name: ////
Race: Stone golem
Level: 1
Health: 10/10
Strength:3
Agility:1
Defense:10
Skills: None
"Huh!"
'All the golem stats are available. Why?' Ray thought that as the first attack came, the golem posed no threat to Ray with improved strength and agility.
(You've earned 10 Exp for defeating a stone golem)
Ray ignored the system prompt as he quickly moved his body and dashed to the next golem.
(You've earned 10 Exp for defeating a stone golem)
Experience: (50/200)
The last prompt came in as he defeated the fifth golem.
"Time for the lair, boss," Ray said.
The stone golem mage didn't flinch as Ray ran towards it. He raised his staff, and five fireballs formed around it and shot towards Ray.
"Woah!" Ray, who was running at the mage, stopped when he saw this.
*Swoosh*
The fireball passed Ray with a swooshing sound as he struggled to dodge them.
*Boom!*
One of the fireballs hit Ray right in his chest, and he flew backward rolling on the ground.
HP: -5
HP: 15/20
"Argh!" Ray shouted as he fell to the ground.
"If I take three more of that hit, I'm gone," Ray muttered,
'I still have 2 free attribute points and 1 skills point, improve my agility and my power punch,' Ray told the system in his mind.
[Agility: +2]
Agility: 10
Power punch level +1
[Power punch] level 2: when activated, makes the first punch of the user 40% stronger than his normal punch. stamina cost: 4
"Lair boss, you are going down," Ray declared with a smirk.
He ran towards the golem mage as the mage fired five more fireballs at him, but this time the outcome was different, the fireball felt slower, and he could dodge all of them without any stress.
Ray closed the distance between him and the mage and attempted to punch it, but the mage's staff shined again, and Ray hit an invisible force that stopped his fist. Immediately he jumped backward.
"What was that?" Ray asked himself, then a blue light enveloped the stone golem mage.
"So his last skill is a barrier. This is really not going my way." Ray sighed heavy-hearted.
Five new golems formed again and ran towards Ray. Ignoring the golems, he suddenly remembered that in all video games, mages are usually weak in close combat. So Ray dodged the normal once and ran towards the mage.
"I can't keep fighting them and still have the stamina to defeat the boss," Ray remarked.
Fireballs flew in Ray's direction, but he dodged all of them effortlessly by jumping sideways.
'I just have to use my power punch to break through that shield, and victory is mine' Ray smiled.
"Activate power punch," Ray muttered.
The mage didn't move as he was sure Ray couldn't break his shield.
*Boom*
Ray's punch hit the mage's shield with a bang as it stopped his fist for a second before starting to shatter.
*Crack!*
The shield broke with a loud cracking sound and the mage seeing that his shield was broken, attempted to hit Ray with his staff.
Ray, way faster, dodged the staff by bending down, and with another power punch, he blasted the mage.
The golem mage slowly turned into ashes fading in the air along with the stone golem he created.
(You've earned 50 Exp for defeating stone golem mage)
"Ha~" Ray breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the system prompt. He slumped down on the ground as his tensed muscles relaxed.
He looked at his system interface and saw his current exp.
"This golem mage is a real blessing," Ray grinned while sitting on the ground.
