The Archangel of Death - Chapter 161
161: Dungeon spree (1) 161: Dungeon spree (1) Chapter 161 The Imp boss slashed at me.
All I could do was dodge so I tried but its speed was greater than mine and I couldn’t fully dodge even under the effect of ‘Sacred Blessing’.
Fortunately, my skills were unparalleled for this guy because of my high INT so the ‘Celestial guard’ didn’t break under its assault.
[Eclipse] [A random sense of the target has been blocked for one minute] [Chosen sense is ‘Hearing’] Not the sense I was hoping for but I had no choice but to make do so I used ‘Magic cannons’ and dealt great damage to it.
unfortunately, this guy’s defense was far greater than other imps.
Even after ten magic cannons, it hadn’t died so I kept my assault up.
Since it could still see me, I couldn’t use the element of surprise but at least it couldn’t sense or hear the magic cannons from behind it.
The twenty-something ‘magic cannons’ fell on it and although it didn’t die, it was severely injured.
[HP 12720,000] Each of my cannon at least took a thousand of its HP but it was still up and running.
It had many skills in its arsenal as well which made it difficult to deal with it.
fortunately, once again, my INT was high enough to make my skills strong enough for enemies of the same rank and even one rank higher.
Sadly, in terms of physical prowess, I was nothing special.
Of course, I might be at the same rank as a simple blessed but when it came to the truly special ones like the apostles, my physical characteristics were quite average.
That was the reason why this brainless Imp could last so long against me.
Another reason was my speed.
Not just my physical one but also my magical one because ‘Magic cannon’, unlike ‘Magic bullet’ was slower in speed so the Imp could easily dodge it and that caused me to waste about a hundred ‘Magic cannons’.
Anyway, now that it was at its last leg literally, and the other one was also badly injured, it couldn’t move at all so I used a ‘Magic cannon’ full of my annoyance at its head, splattering it on the ground and killing it.
[You have slain a B+ rank enemy] [You have obtained 1000 EXP] [You have obtained 100,000 coins] [You have obtained 5 mana crystals] [You have obtained a rune of sharpness] [You have obtained a rune of swiftness] [You have obtained a rune of fire blessing] Wow.
I was quite bummed about the EXP part but that disappointment was washed away by the three runes I obtained.
I decided to use them without any further delay.
[Rune of sharpness] [Type: Consumables] [Effect: Increases the chance of critical hit by 5%] [Current critical hit rate at 5%] Since I wasn’t equipping the dagger of Desaant, the critical hit rate was set at zero and due to my low luck, which wasn’t affected by the DeBuff by the way, my critical hit rate was still zero.
With this rune, at least I had some base chance.
I only hoped it applied to the skills as well.
[Rune of swiftness] [Type: Consumable] [Effect: Increases agility by 50] [Limited to the user only] This one was good as well.
Like I said my physical stats were falling behind quite a lot so this helped big time.
Even under the DeBuff, it was a good enough increase to count.
And last but not least.
[Rune of fire blessing] [Type: Consumable] [Effect: Increases the resistance to fire by 10%] This one was a little useless to me, not currently but it will be because when I would obtain my authority of flame, I would get a hundred percent immunity to all kinds of fires from natural ones to special ones to even hell flame.
Since it also didn’t have the limitation of being available to me only, I decided to give it to the person whose weak point was fire and now that she was my party member, it would be easier to have her absorb it as well.
I stored the rune in my inventory along with the boss’s body and left the dungeon.
The dungeon would reset in an hour but the boss spawn would be almost a month later so it was practically useless for me to come back here.
[EXP 40,380100,000] Not to mention that this dungeon would soon not even make a dent in my EXP making it impractical to come here.
And since I had already obtained runes from it, the chance of them dropping again was almost zero so there was no incentive to try it even then.
I finally arrived at the dungeon entrance and exited it.
the people outside were staring at me as if staring at a monster.
I guess they must have been alerted of the dungeon clearance and since I was the only one allowed to enter, it was clear who cleared it.
Volan stared at me incredulously but I didn’t have the time for him to snap out of it.
I didn’t have enough time and I only had until tomorrow night to deal with this.
I had to be back by tomorrow night because I had a schedule coming day by tomorrow.
“Let’s go.” I shook him by his shoulders and he snapped out of it.
He was about to yell and say something when I blocked his mouth and said, “Volan, I know you are surprised but I am short on time.
Take me to the next dungeon and do not say another word, understood?” He nodded to convey his message and I also let go of him, “Now, take me to the next dungeon.” He turned around and led me to the teleportation circle.
Once we were inside, we were again teleported to someplace else.
Exiting, I saw the same scenery of setup as before only this time we were surrounded by woods which made me assume that this dungeon was inside the Bellator forest.
I didn’t say another word and entered the dungeon without further ado.
[You have entered the lair of cursed crawlers] The system notified me of the type of dungeon and my eyes fell on a large centipede just a little away from me.
Ahh… fuc*k.
====== I took deep and heavy breaths with a lot of effort.
I was covered in centipede insides and my clothes were nowhere to be seen.
My skin was badly damaged and my hair was gone, again.
This dungeon was hella difficult.
Like the last one, it didn’t have a floor system either so there was no telling when I would face a B- or a B rank centipede.
Another thing about these centipedes was their enormous defense.
Both magical and physical, especially physical so ‘Magic Cannon’ dealt almost no damage.
Even my physical attacks were pathetic.
I somehow dealt with the B- and B ranked ones, but when it came to the boss, it was too fast, too long, and too sturdy.
The ‘Magic cannon’ would deliver one point of damage at most and my physical attacks were just useless.
Seeing no other choice and almost on the verge of death, I voluntarily jumped into its mouth.
Its stomach acid burned me a lot but I was able to deal with it using constant ‘Moon shift vitality’.
I finally dealt enough damage to its insides and managed to kill it before I melted away.
I used a few MP recovery portions and a giant ‘Magic cannon’ worth 2000 MP.
I then used the ‘Celestial guard’ to protect me from the blast damage but even then, I barely survived.
Still, I managed to kill it although barely, very barely.
Needless to say, the outcome of this fight was not worth the rewards I got.
Except for the coins, nothing worked in my favor.
[You have slain a B- ranked enemy x21] [You have obtained 210 EXP] [You have obtained 2,100,000] [You have obtained a B- mana crystal x63] [You have slain a B ranked enemy x14] [You have obtained 1400 EXP] [You have obtained 1,400,000] [You have obtained a B mana crystal x70] The plus point of these centipedes was that they had more mana crystals than other monsters so far.
Where one Imp gave me one magic crystal, the B- centipede gave me three and B ranked centipede gave me five each.
As for the boss-ranked centipede.
[You have slain a B+ ranked enemy] [You have obtained 1000 EXP] [You have obtained 100,000 coins] [You have obtained 10 B+ mana crystals] [You have obtained the rune of sturdiness] That was it.
That was all the reward I got.
It gave me ten mana crystals and a rune but the effect of the rune wasn’t worth all the effort.
[Rune of sturdiness] [Type: Consumable] [Effect: END +50] [Limited to the user only] Although disappointing, I still used it and made myself a little sturdier than before.
I also made sure to store all the bodies of the monsters because if I remember correctly, they were sold for a really high price because most of the shields were made with this monster’s outer shell.
Unlike my first dungeon, this one took me almost three hours even though the number of monsters was so low.
I left the dungeon to find Volan chatting with the guards.
From their expressions, I could tell what they were talking about.
“Okay, on to the next one.” I simply said and made my way to the teleportation circle.
Volan followed me hurriedly and we both hopped into the teleportation circle and were warped to another place.
[EXP 42,990100,000] ===== [You have obtained 23,700,000 coins] [You have obtained 14,610 EXP] [You have obtained 141 B- rank mana crystals] [You have obtained 92 B rank mana crystals] [You have obtained 4 B+ rank mana crystals] [You have obtained the rune of swiftness] [You have obtained the rune of defense] [You have obtained the rune of power] [You have obtained the rune of intellect] [Rune of swiftness: +10 AGI] [Rune of defense: +70 END] [Rune of power: +25 STR] [Rune of intellect: +5 INT] [EXP 57,600100,000 EXP] After four more dungeons of ants, hobgoblins, wild jumpers that consisted of two-legged rabbits, and finally a dungeon of pyrodactiles which were monsters made of rocks held by lava and had long-ranged fire skills from where I obtained the rune of intellect because they were magical monsters.
The point I wanted to scream after all this was, “I still didn’t level up!” Of course, I didn’t scream because that would have been weird.
Another point needless to say was that B ranked dungeons were no longer practical for me to raise my level.
My coin revenue was impressive though, almost 50 million coins but that wasn’t enough.
Luckily, I had two dungeons waiting for me that would not only give me a good amount of EXP but also a great amount of coins because each A rank entity gave me a million coins per body.
The final two dungeons were A rank.
One of them was an undead dungeon but not on the same level as the one in the Caligulas territory because this one didn’t have a curse on and its boss was a Dullahan, not a Lich.
As much as I would have liked to absorb the element of death in the undeads, if my element of death increased anymore, it would become very hard to hold it back from devouring the element of life.
So I was going to kill these undeads for sure.
The other dungeon was the dungeon of Lycans.
I will explain about them when I would deal with them.
I entered the undead dungeon and I was once again in a cave.
Seriously, do these dungeon-creating guys have no creativity?
Only the undead dungeon in the Caligulas was like a mansion, all the other dungeons I had visited were in the form of caves.
Luckily about this cave, it had a floor system like the slime dungeon so I would only be facing A- ranked ones.
Just as I decided on this, a skeleton in proper armor with a well-maintained sword appeared before me.
I sneered at the difficulty of the dungeon but my sneer didn’t last long.
four skeletal archers, a few more armored skeletons, and a skeleton in a robe appeared as well.
Haa… Me and my sh*t luck.
