Kapitel 39: Dungeon Raid [5]
****
Amon was surrounded by corpses as he stood, panting lightly.
The area around him was now again covered in pitch black blood again, and combined with the corpses, it gave a gory sight.
Though this wave had an increased number of beasts and also large sizes, it was relatively easier than the previous one.
Maybe it was because of his [Lightning] affinity increase combined with the fact that only their size had increased unlike the last phase, where wings had been added.
Dragging his body to a nearby tree, he settled down with a deep breath.
At the same time, the island rumbled deeply again.
RUMBLING! RUMBLING!
Ignoring the deep sound, he focused on himself.
Fortunately, there were no major injuries this time, but there were still several cuts.
He quickly started to close them all using his manipulation of blood.
After 10 minutes, he was finally done and so he started to practice mana breathing again.
With each passing second, he felt his mastery over the technique increasing.
This was also indicated by him taking less time to recover his mana than before.
Standing up, he dusted his cape which had some minor scratches at some places.
Like always, he didn't forget to store their mana cores and blood.
Then he traveled to the outer edge of the island again, expecting another entrance.
And just like he thought, there was one.
However, unlike previously where there was a staircase heading down.
This time he saw a coral bridge that linked the current island to another island in the far distance.
The rumbling had probably raised the bridge to the surface from the depths of the blood sea.
[You need to be more careful in the next phase, stop relying too much on your skills. Try to use elements more creatively, you are being too narrow-minded right now.] Zephyra lectured.
He suddenly stopped and pondered upon her words.
It was true, in the latest phase he had used his three Void skills a lot, leading to a waste of mana.
He would be able to kill them all if he knew how to use his elements more imaginatively.
Right now, all he did was use strings for blood and bolts for the lightning element.
Surely he could do better than this…
After all, it was manipulation and maker, he could do whatever he wanted as long as he imagined it.
Nodding at her words, he started to cross the bridge.
He didn't lower his guard though. For all he knew, the 4th phase might have started as soon as he stepped on the bridge.
And just like he thought, it wasn't long before 13 ghoul beasts jumped out of the water, shooting into the sky.
In the next second, they landed upon the large coral bridge, surrounding Amon from both sides.
He gritted his teeth and looked left and right, finding no way to escape to the land and fight them there.
The ghoul beasts now stood on two legs, with their upper legs turned into sharp blades.
They resembled more of a bat and mantis combination now instead of wolf and bat.
Amon bit his lip.
Though the bridge was wide enough for him to fight them, it was nearly not wide enough for him to use his Void Skills.
The narrow area where he could teleport nullified his advantage of surprise.
'Fuck it….' He cursed and got ready to fight.
Just as the thought left his mind, a ghoul beast shot towards him, its speed a far cry from the previous phase.
Creating two blobs of blood, Amon quickly formed three blood strings to clash with the blades of the beast.
CLANG! CLANG!
But it wasn't long before another monster jumped into the fight from behind.
[Behind you!] Fortunately, the warning was there.
Diverting his attention for a second, he shot off a lightning bolt at the beast, trying to keep it in place.
The bolt hit it square in the chest, paralyzing it and throwing it to the ground.
As it felt on the wet coral surface, a spark of electricity spread around suddenly jolting Amon who was battling the first beast again.
The spark paralyzed him for a a second making him look back at what happened.
Realizing the cause, he moved back to battle the beast again which was clashing one on one against his strings.
It was then, that he suddenly got an idea.
Manipulating the sea of blood around him with some difficulty, he separated two blobs, one on each side.
Pulling them towards him, he started to coat his arms again while still concentrating on the beast.
The strings and its blades were an even match, no one getting an up on the other.
After a minute, both of his arms were finally coated.
He suddenly abandoned the three strings, making the beast confused about what happened.
However, a jaw-breaking punch landed on its chest before it could compose itself, sending it crashing back into the horde.
CRACK!
He brought his fists close to his chest, making an offensive stance against the beasts.
Though he had now lost his ranged mode of fighting, the strings, he would have to hold it out like this for some minutes for it to work.
Seeing his offensive pose, all of the beasts bared their fangs at him before shooting for him all at once.
Taking a deep breath, Amon shot toward the nearest one and grabbed both its pincers.
With his full force, he stretched them outwards, making them break and separate the whole body of the beast in half.
While he was doing this, he subtly started to manipulate the sea and separate multiple strings from it.
Suddenly, he felt two pincers closing around his arm, producing a sharp metallic sound.
CLANG!
Using his other arm, he grabbed the beast and threw it back into the incoming horde.
Meanwhile, he focused on the threads
12 threads…
He felt two blades scratching against his chest, however the cape protected him.
Catching on its blades, he punched it in the chest with the other arm and threw it onto the ground.
25 threads….
One by one, he started to deal with all the beasts that attacked him while also facing minor injuries.
And after two minutes.
46 threads…..
Just as the next beast was inches away from him, he disappeared from the spot.
The beasts looked around hurriedly trying to find him in confusion.
Suddenly their ears perked up with noise, and they quickly faced to the other end of the bridge, finding Amon standing there in relief.
His gaze moved above them and they followed along.
There, they found a large vertical narrow cobweb, woven of 46 bloodstrings.
He instantly dropped the cobweb down upon all the beasts, trapping them at their place.
And as they looked up, they saw both of his now normal arms extend towards the web.
To their horror, two large bolts of electricity shot out of them, heading towards them.
But it didn't hit them.
Rather it hit the cobweb which was now connected to all of their bodies.
And in the next moment....
BUZZZZZZZ!
