Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 279 Automated Battle Mode

The incoming monster was a lean, mean, foul, four legged creature, it looked like a spotted hyena, short hind-legs paired with longer and stronger fore-legs, big muscled chest and an elongated maw that was full of sharp canines, it had forward pointing eyes and looked like it was a chaser and brawler instead of an ambusher. Feeling its mana being sapped at high speed only angered it causing it to howle to the sky, fear struck Yunan so hard his mind switched to unconscious battle mode, while he was still in the trance from the howle, Yunan had casted every single spell that could hinder the monster as well as applying all kinds of status effects to weaken the monster.

This unconscious battle mode was something Yunan developed when he was training in the earlier floors trying to make his skills and spells as natural as breathing, he was aware of it especially in the floors that had too many monsters like the rat floor and the oceanic floors, he did not however think it would work with him stunned or unconscious. He thought that as long as he could think properly this automated battle mode would function, but he was pleasantly surprised when he came to from his stun and the monster was already weakened and debuffed in every way possible.

Range was something that Yunan had the advantage in, even in the 81st floor he could start a fight before the opponent was in range of sight, this kind of supreme battle range made Yunan a force not to be reckoned with, he could literally kill his enemies from so far away, he would be as far as 100 km away and making life hard for them, Debauchery have known about that range of his but didn't get to see it in action.

It is to be noted that Yunan with his ma.s.sive range detected only one single monster in the 81st floor, the one that did not try to hide and was about to fight Debauchery, even if his detection skills were top notch, he was did not have enough attribute points to detect something that wanted to hide in floors more than 10 levels ahead of him. Lucian on the other hand could detect hidden monsters and as the good ranger he was, he could tell that the monster that howled was already in the middle of battle.

"Boy" said Leader "did you have to anger it from that far? Also how were you casting while stunned by the howling?" Debauchery had taught Yunan how to hide his casting, it stood to reason that they could detect silent casting if they could hide it so well, and it felt like casting while stunned might be a bit too far fetched, since stuns were able to override trained battle actions, so it was hard to believe they witness a stunned man casting.

"Automated battle mode" answered Yunan still dealing with the fear left over by the howle. "I was trying to make all my spells and skills to be as natural as breathing in order to make more s.p.a.ce in my mental capacity, it's the first time i have been under a stun so i did not know that i succeeded to this point, it was especially helpful when i was pushing my limits of stamina and endurance but i was always conscious of it activating". After a few moments of silence he continued "i have attached a mana syphon, a 30% stat debuff, and some other status effects like reduced regeneration, reduced healing and some other stuff, it should be vulnerable to bleeding and wind magic most, also illusions will work 50% better, and all other types of magic should have a 15% better effect".

Fae and Leader nodded, he seemed to have been correct about the list of spells he cast, but they could not identify the actual effects because the disparity between levels. "Also, use your rings to regen mana, and gain access to the battle supply room, there are all kinds of healing items and stamina regeneration foods, try to stick to the Queen bee honey and the lava wine since they work best, all the rest were made by Ophelia and they work just fine", he wanted to keep talking but was stopped by Leader.

"Boy, we raised you well, we already know that so stop trying to make us blush, also, we already knew, from the moment you gave us access and linked us to the mana storage, so let's get ready to fight. Balin, Dustan put on your armor and take out your weapons, this is a lone monster, the bet was about fighting groups of them, Fae, start planting your magical traps according to the retreat route, Bai go ahead and start buzzing around the monster and make sure it uses its energy, Lucian, hide and learn its patterns and weaknesses then report when the monster is 1000 meters away, Anne you start the buffs and prepare your best healing magic, also think about disinfectants and possible contamination from what ever made the monster go mad".

With everyone getting their orders and starting to work on them, Yunan was left standing looking at Leader smiling so proudly, she whispered to him while blushing ever so slightly "it feels like we are wasting your talent if we only get to have you here for a month, get stronger fast, i need you by my side". Yunan did not know what to say as an answer, he just nodded his head slightly and then focused on the incoming monster, he wanted to know if his debuffs were as good as he hoped, yet he did not have any expectations, he knew he was far outside his own league, even if he could shave 1% from the monster it was already a win. He knew he had gotten a big upgrade from Ignis and he had yet to check his status, he had not checked his status for 5 or so years ever since he got the phoenix legacy quest, he decided it would best to check it after he partic.i.p.ates in his first kill in the 80s.
