Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 144 Unavoidable Attack

The Black Fate had many functions that were sealed because the limits of Yunan's mana, and it decided that the use of such sealed functions would only be revealed at times of abundance or critical moments, like this moment, although it did not reveal more, Yunan did not press the issue, after all, the team work between Black Fate and the genie was already impeccable enough, and he did not require a.s.sistance from the Black Fate at the moment.

For the next 3 weeks Yunan had become so tired of seeing rats all over the place, whether he fought them or not, he felt sick of being around them, if not for the fact that he kept upgrading his mastery over his spells and combat effectiveness, he would have left the floor much sooner. He mapped this floor faster than it should have taken simply because he wanted to move on, and soon after, he was going for the boss.

The boss did not have a room, like most other bosses, instead it was sitting in the middle of a sea of it own species. It was a man sized humanoid, it looked awfully close to a half-beast if not for its fully animal head one might be tricked to think it was one, it had 6 arms, exposed thick skin and a prehensile tail. It had bodyguards and servants, a king of rats. Seeing Yunan coming close to it with maximum spell damage output killing his way into its subordinates, the rat king roared summoning even more rats to his side making them attack Yunan in a frenzy.

Yunan kept his charge forward, and did not slow down, since there was endless mana, why should he hold back?. Yunan currently looked like a half sphere of mixed attacks and elementals discharges, wind blades met lighting bolts and twisted around flame tongues and ever shifting earth. There was an ice storm and a meteor shower, there was a maelstrom that ripped apart anything that made it beyond the border if the cast radius.

The rat king was also shredded by the maelstrom Yunan had around him, although it was salvaged by the genie, its body was ruined beyond recognition, even though the genie recommend it to be eaten, Yunan would rather starve than touch or see a rat for the next eternity, making his way straight to the 24th floor, before heading to the portable home to relax and forget about the endless hordes that he could now see behind the eyelids.

The boss was served for the girls to eat, no one would say no to free attribute points. After a few days of rest the 24th floor exploration began, the monsters here were all winged bats of some sorts and different sizes, they could suck out mana from the body, and they lived in perpetual darkness. Yunan was almost disappointed about this floor, the range his armor could steal mana was further than the bats and by the time they got in range and tried to cast mana drain on Yunan they were already dead to an ice spear and drained from mana.

Since Yunan has been casting spells endlessly without stop for almost a month, he had developed speed casting to be almost reflexive and instant, and was already using it in tandem with life Vision and the radar detection of the pocket watch effect. Another side effect to the prolonged usage of mana, Yunan was now able to shoot 10 ice spears per second endlessly, also his ice spears changed shape and st.u.r.diness, they were now foot long needle that were as hard as steel, with high penetrating capabilities and speed, and cheaper casting cost compared to the ordinary ones. The same was true for each of the other spells, for example lighting bolts became as wide as an arm and had a destructive impact on landing instead of just an electrical discharge.

In the dark environment, and with the help of the mapping ability and the scanning function, Yunan mapped the entire floor within 5 weeks, without much hindrance. The armor also integrated a new functionality, echolocation, which was made for finding hidden enemies that were good at hiding their life power and body heat, something he would eventually meet in the dungeon, this place was fascinating, able to have any variation of monster abilities. It only stood to reason if an ability exists, there will be another ability to counter and negate it.

The boss looked like a gargoyle with sharp claws, hideous fangs and a wretched looking body and wings. It could perform sound attacks, both infrasonic and ultrasonic, making Yunan feel dizzy, and slow and have a headache, or simply be in so much pain that he could barely focus. Auditory attacks are by far the most annoying to deal with because even if you plug your ears the sound waves can still disturb the brain, a vicious type of attack that can not be defended against except by creating a vacuum bubble to protect oneself.

The fight made Yunan feel like all his training was useless, he could only curl with his hands covering his ears as the ultrasound attack hit and waited for the attack to run its course, before using whatever instinct he could muster to attack for as long as possible before the cool down on the sound attack finished. The fight ended with Yunan luring the gargoyle into close combat and emptying half his mana to fry the wretched thing using lighting bolts as thick as adult thighs to burn holes in it.

After the fight Yunan needed a week to recover from the side effects of the auditory attacks, he felt like he was in the wrong skin most of the week, but thanks to the careful efforts of Ophelia, Lina and Nina, he could recover fully and gain a new resistance into his defensive a.r.s.enal.
