Chapter 290 Preparations In Netherrealm: Dungeon Of Death#3
-ROAR!!!!!
I cleaned my ears with my pinky finger after hearing that loud roar and then took out my Deaths of Duality out of the almost vanished body of the water Hydra. Then I burned whatever was left of the Hydra, using the [Ablaze] Fragment.
Soon I fell on the ground, but carefully using my Death Energy, I then stood on the lake water before I did a slash in the air as if to stretch my back muscles.
"Forbidden Magic: Demonic Angel's Rebirth," I muttered as I used my half-sacrificial move.
Wings of Darkness on my left and wings of Light on my right form sprouted, with my face and the right half of my body fully covered in black coloured mana.
Holding a bright white sword made of light energy in my right hand, I open my dazzlingly white bright eyes. Though not even after a moment, that white sword gets absorbed by the Deaths of Duality as I hold them in my hands.
One of the three sacrificial moves I could use, including Second Moon, Demonic Angel's Rebirth, converts my flesh into pure mana that I could use before the mana gets evaporated into the air, killing me in the process.
While Second Moon helps me fight against a combat oriented enemy, Demonic Angel's Rebirth allows me to fight the enemy, which is proficient in area attack and ranged abilities.
But that was when I didn't have the Deaths of Duality. And I was much weaker before as well.
With the Deaths of Duality, I could use the energy stored inside them to replace the energy lost from my body and slowly my flesh returns to original. The only drawback is that I lack even a percent of energy once the whole process is over.
Though… It's fine….
"About… 7 seconds should be fine," I thought as I looked at monsters all around me before I started flying in the sky above using those wings. These monsters, these Dragons were each of Grade S4, each while in my current form I was at least S7 Rank.
'I guess this is my limit…' I thought as I dashed towards the first monster,
-Slash!
And killed it in an instant before absorbing its energy into my body.
-Slash!
-Slash! .
.
It was a one sided annihilation from that point as I kept killing the monsters one by one. I wanted to check this power, and I believed this would be the best place to do it since the enemies were averagely numbered. Not less than 10, not more than 50.
Soon, 7 seconds passed and all the monsters were dead with my form slowly returning to my original. Because the monsters ruling over the land were dead, the island started drowning in the water as well with only the peak of the island left behind.
The peak was a sort of altar where I flew towards before completely exhausting my powers. My body returned to its base form, and I landed on the altar before looking around at the statues present on that altar.
I was already on floor 14… and floor 15 now.
The floors 14 and 15 were the same, with the only difference in the settings of the monster. Well…. Better explain it when I reach floor 15.
So, there were giant statues around me as I regenerated my power using whatever the Death Energy the blades had. With what I got from the monsters and how much I used to retain my body after using the Forbidden Magic, currently I managed to get 10% of the total energy I had.
-RTRTRTRT!!
The ground began shaking as I saw a monster rising from the centre of the altar. It was barely an S-Grade monster and looking at it carefully; it was an armoured Rhino with a double axe.
'Well… I feel bad for him,' I thought as I looked at it before moving towards it.
Just because it was S-Grade, one shouldn't take it lightly. Because this monster… well, how should I say, it had a certain power. The power to learn and grow.
The more you hit him, the more it will learn, adapt, and grow. The only way to defeat this one was to use a power less strong than its power and use it to destroy it.
What you needed to win this fight wasn't merely skills or power, but a power that no one can copy.
"Fragment of Light: Ablaze," I muttered as I swiftly dashed towards it and touched its head… and then it started burning heavily…
It tried saving itself but the fire was too strong for it… it simply couldn't take it and in the end died a simple death.
Then… another monster came… It was the same as before. However, there was a difference between this one and the last one.
This one had learnt everything that the previous monster had learnt and can use those skills and abilities at least 5 times better than it.
Though… I kinda feel sad for whoever created this floor level. I mean, it wasn't bad or anything but…
"Fragment of Light: Ablaze," I muttered as I set this monster to fire as well, similar to the previous one.
Fragments of the Guardians aren't something you can copy. Their powers, the way they function, everything is unique in the strongest way possible. These are something that are impossible to copy, even for the strongest being in the entire universe.
"Well. I had expected this much. Floors 16, 17 and 18 should be a breeze as well," I muttered as I recalled the last time I had visited this dungeon.
Last time, Deaths of Duality and my own Rejection Fragment were the reason I was able to cross floors 14 and 15. As for the next three floors, they were not that complicated.
Just time consuming.
Why?
Well, because you had to defeat an army of SS-Grade, SSS-Grade and S4-Grade in the successive floors. On the floor 18, once you defeat all the armies, you should be facing an S5 Grade Behemoth but since it was just a single monster with only physical abilities, defeating it shouldn't be much of a problem either.
"The problem comes on floor 19," I muttered as I sighed before the scene changed and floor 16 came in my view.
