Chapter 334

With only a few hundred MP remaining, I rush at my opponent with two wind daggers in my grasp. The remaining raw energy inside the monster I run toward is just over a third of what it started with.

If I continue using my mana at the same rate, with the same strategies, I'll surely lose. I need to get up close and try a more powerful technique. One that can finish it off in a single shot.

With this in mind, the next time I narrowly avoid the Minotaur's axe and air step away, I continue my upward trajectory to position myself dangerously close to the beast.

I haven't let my usual shot of energy off yet. I'm still charging everything I have into both my blades. This lack of attack notifies the monster that I'm doing something different, it instantly catches on.

I hear a grunt as it quickly turns my way with an upward swing of its axe.

With every last drop of MP going into my daggers, I swing down, pointing at the side of the demonic creature's neck while the sharp side of its axe slices me clean in two.

The final thing I see is an explosion of sparks, and the head of the beast topple off its neck.

[You Have Died]

The memories all come back to me as I finish up farming another quest in one of the level 100-150 dungeons. I chuckle to myself while making another body double.

"That's one way to do it."

At the same time, I reach into my inventory and take out about 30k MP worth of crystals to give to my double before it teleports back to Ember in the Minotaur dungeon. That's over 10 full recharges. If lack of MP is the issue, this should be enough for my next opponentThe origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Then, I get back to farming. Only a third of the quests remain, and I already completed the hardest and highest paying ones. At this rate, I'll finish every one of them before the sun comes up.

I carefully separate the real mana crystals in my item storage, not mixing them up with the duplicate copies. To the naked eye, the duplicates look exactly the same, but under any amount of mana control or perception skills, it's clear they're fakes.

It stands over 10 times my height and wields two long black swords that reflect its glowing red eyes in their glossy shine. The final purple key rests around its neck.

Two enormous twisting horns come off its head, and the entirety of its body is pouring out refined energy. The monster before me came in aggressive from the start, using demonic speed buffs and swinging its swords in an elegant display.

If I didn't instinctively jump in the air with magic once the Minotaur left my vision, I'd undoubtedly be defeated already.

Gritting my teeth, I still let off two high-powered mana blades in its direction, but before they even make it halfway to its neck, the beast turns and makes eye contact with me before dodging and pointing its two blades in my direction.

To my surprise, the swords in its hands begin to glow purple, the same color as the key around its neck.

The next thing I witness is it swinging both blades across its body in synchronicity, and a purple crescent of light shrouded in darkness with black energy trailing behind it erupts from the Minotaur's weapons.

"An energy attack...?"

It looks just like my mana blades, but is clearly made of Demonic Energy. It's charged to glow bright purple, unlike when I release dark black refined energy straight from my hands. I've seen a similar effect take place in my dagger, but have never been able to send it flying from the blade like this before.

All I can think to do is send my own attack back and move out of the way.

With a large amount of my remaining MP, I air step away from the blast and send a white crescent of my air magic back at it to further propels me out of the way as I watch an eruption of sparks destroy my full-powered attack.

In less than a second, my energy blade is completely destroyed, and over half of the demonic energy blade's size still remains as it rockets further into the sky.

My gaze locks onto the Minotaur again, and I see it powering up another attack.

I'm nowhere near its speed on the ground, and I'm a sitting duck in the sky.

Taking a quick glance at my MP bar, it's already below half. I try to air-step further away to catch my breath and come up with a strategy to take on this new opponent, but there's no time to think.

The murderous roar of the final Demonic Boss echoes all throughout the realm and another full-powered slash comes flying my way.
