Chapter 41 - Lizard Boss (2)

Elior rushed with his top speed, keeping his senses busy on the following lizards. The Leader of the lizards was clearly faster than him, but he's agile in short manoeuvre. He lunged here and there, judging its attack while looking for an opportunity to deal a blow that will be fatal enough.

In between, he had finished a couple of its followers. The Sword was in this shape do not suit him, but it had the cutting power he needed. Pulling all his physical strength to kill was not that hard, but while keeping himself safe was.

In just a short fraction of seconds, he was twisting the sword before pulling it out when the tail of the lizard hit him hard in a tail swing.

The tail was already thicker than his own waist. It hit like a log of hard wood hit him mercilessly. Fortunately, it hit him on the back, so it could not break any of his ribs, but he did cough out a couple of mouthfuls of blood and destroyed his mana defence.

[Health: 94/165]

[Mana: 157/405]

Elior coated his body in a protective layer again and stood up with a flip. He imagined the void in his mind and it helped him ignore the pain. Most emotion left him. As he ran again, the lizard boss followed.

Elior moved in between uneven earth and found rocky ridge here and there. His legs moved faster as he bolted towards a high ridge. The lizards followed from behind and sides.

He lunged a few that came in dashing while his target, the biggest one of them, was still in the back. He climbed the ridge before him with his top speed. And with the first jump and three odd steps, he was about five-metre high on the ridge. He could not go further with the momentum, and he did not need to go further.

He jerked his head backwards, twisting his leg in a backflip while he was still climbing. In between, he threw away the sword above. Gravity claimed him as he was falling head before the other parts because of the way he used the point of mass of his body. If he fell on the ground and did not try anything, his neck would break and he would die.

Fortunately, none of that happened. He did not fall. At least he did not fall on the ground. He fell right at the back of the enormous lizard leader. He succeeded in his attempt; this was what he wanted from the beginning.

The body of the lizard was smooth and slippery and the huge thing was moving, jerking its body to get rid of him. Elior had to use extra mana to have a good grip on the back. He did not waste a fraction of moment, rushed at the top of his speed and reached its head.

Mana surged inside him, swirling in a mad, frantic way that he never used before. He pulled more usage of the mana that he could handle himself now, but it was only for a blink of an eye.

He worked his two palms closer to the middle of its head and pulled the spatial distortion in a single needle. Roaring, he released every bit of his mana into the needle—made of spatial waves. It pierced the hard skin of the dungeon master, reaching the skull, then to the brown goo of the brain.

If it was any other lizards, then it would not have a moment to flinch before its death, but a dungeon master was something special. They had harder skin and higher resistance and more, the further level one reaches, the more real they become. Dungeon Master was one such existence that was more real than any of its lesser counterparts.

The lizard leader hit its head madly against the ridge, squeaking in madness. Elior blown away from the head, but the damage was done.

He was expecting to be blown away, so getting a safe fall was not difficult. With a roll on the ground, he stood up again, eyeing above. He could not see clearly, but his instinct told him, the sword was still falling. Elior collected it just when it was about to reach the ground.

His inside was jolting with a fiery revolt for pulling more than what he was capable of, but worrying about that came later as the boss of the dungeon was not dead yet.

The enormous lizard was hitting its head hard against the ridge, breaking the rocky highland while squeaking in madness.

The other lizards dashed in madness too, hearing the loud shriek and they were not the only ones who were revolting against the piercing squeak. Elior felt some discomfort in his head. The piercing squeaks were disharmonious to his spirit, but he could not put resistance against it now as he ran out of mana.

The only way to stop it now was to kill it, and he was trying to do just that. With the sword in his arm, he advanced towards the lizards in the back. He first took care of the mad little ones until the mad boss found him again. It had broken the rocky ridge by the time, with its head bloody with darkish purple blood buzzing out.

It dashed towards him, thumping a couple of its kind by the foot. It had no mind of its own, could only destroy the things. Even if Elior left the dungeon, this thing would destroy its home on its own, but he could not do that. Partly because his rewards will be lessened and most importantly, who could tell if this thing will die after destroying the dungeon. It could wreak havoc outside after destroying the dungeon and cause civilian casualties. It would make all his efforts useless.

Elior sucked in a deep breath and dashed at the approaching mad lizards. He jumped the moment the lizard was about to pin him down. The sword swung in a swift arc on the side of its body. Purplish filthy blood oozed out of the wound as he withdrew immediately.

The lizard boss squeaked and turned around towards him in the same mad manner. It squeaked its way towards him, releasing the chilly poisonous breath.

Elior had no way to fight with head-on physical strength, nor could he restrict the poisonous breath now. He could only battle it out smartly, dealing sneak attacks here and there. Fortunately, its mad strength and devastating spirit would not last forever. It had already lost its mind, losing its strength would come next.

Elior ran, and the mad lizard followed. The two of them moved all over the dungeon. Elior fled while the mad lizard chased like it was its lost love.

Only about a couple of minutes later, the lizards slowed down and Elior stopped in his dash. He turned around and welcomed the boss, who had stopped venting its pain and agony. He clicked his tongue at the sluggish reptile and pierced his sword into its head. It only flinched for a little before giving up.

Elior pulled back the sword as blood oozed out, spraying. He moved out of its way and waited for the congratulatory message to come.

Another reminder, (MUST READ),

Any usage of curse words such as Shit, Fuck, Bastard . . . etc were filtered by the webnovel algorithm. If you use any of those words in comments or reviews, it will be automatically deleted. Other than the curse words, there were a few other words that are filtered. I'll add below the few I know,

Sex, Harem, yaoi, yuri, P.a.t.r.e.o.n, (any other platform similar to Webnovel), any advertising link and something along with the words. LMFAO, LMAO, these types of short-form were not allowed too. (I know this is stupid, but many minors use this site so give them a justified reason to do this and there were other reasons you can guess what those are.)

Please refrain from using those words, and if you could not control yourself, try using any unique characters in them. For instance, H.ar.em Fuki,ng. (Oh shit! What I am teaching, if any minor, reading this refrain from learning these. XD.)

THANK YOU.
