chapter 27
27 – Class A Dungeon Final Battle
‘The situation is still better than the lich….’
It’s definitely better to deal with than a guy who doesn’t die even if you pour 3 holy water, and uses magic or summons from afar.
Vampires are monsters that mainly use their superior physical abilities for melee attacks.
Of course, I can never say that it is advantageous.
Hunters also show different physical abilities than normal humans, but vampires have more than that.
“Then hold on so you can entertain me.”
After saying that, Cold suddenly disappeared in front of my eyes.
‘Right!’
As I dodge Cold’s punches that suddenly appear, the wall behind me shatters with a thud.
“Whoa! Quite the way. To avoid this.”
Cold smiles like he’s having fun. Then he pulls back and disappears again.
Only the sound of moving rapidly on the ground can be heard all around.
‘This time from the front.’
A kick that comes in toward the waist. There was no way to escape.
Raising his mana, he stepped forward with his gauntlet toward Cold’s feet and punched out with all his might.
Pung.
With the sound of an explosion, my body was pushed far back. On the other hand, Cold stood there as if nothing had happened where the explosion caused smoke.
“Do you have good eyes or good senses? Obviously no attack is visible. In addition, it is not to block, but rather to attack judgment. Useful.”
Cold still smiles without any sense of wariness and is happy with a face like a child given a toy.
‘I am also surprised by myself. I don’t know what’s going on.’
Actually, even I was at a loss right now. As Cold said, it was definitely a speed that I could not catch up with.
Just detecting the flow of his magic power and figuring out his location was as I thought.
However, the moment they met, Cold’s attack was strangely predictable, as if showing an afterimage in advance, and it was clearly visible.
I thought I was in good shape today, but it was a sensation I had never experienced even when I thought I was in good shape.
‘What is it? This feeling.’
“If you are going to keep looking at me, I will make this body go first again. Don’t let the excitement cool down.”
The moment I was thinking about it, this time it didn’t disappear, and an attack that hit me head-on.
As a heavy incoming fist aimed at his face, he twisted his shoulder to dodge and then punched his chin.
But, as expected, Cold also spins around his body with his forepaws as an axis and burrows inside. Then, with his spinning power, he swung his elbow.
He manages to turn his head to one side, but his elbow, which grazed his cheek just a little bit, left a mark like a sharp knife cut.
Starting with this, the battle continued.
Except for small wounds, I was barely able to cope and endure.
However, when it started to feel burdensome and there was a very brief gap, in the meantime, I quickly moved my body and opened the distance.
“hahahaha, great. Amazing. Few humans can stand this far while fighting this body head-on.”
“Haa… , ha…. This monster bastard is real.”
Unlike that normal guy, his entire body was covered with sweat as if he had been showered in the meantime.
It was clearly visible. That he was carrying out an attack that could have ended with one hit.
“Has the limit already been reached? Then, since you enjoyed it, let’s be especially merciful and end it painlessly.”
Cold slowly walks back.
‘Is now the time to try?’
A psychology laid down to be vigilant in previous attacks. Aim for the chance to be the first and last.
“Are you going to die waiting again?”
Cold is provoking and wants to attack first this time. But you have to wait. This kind of provocation, always being subjected to it, was normal in the past.
As the confrontation continued to lengthen, Cold clicked his tongue.
“Tsk, it’s boring at the end. I felt like I was preparing something.”
Cold, who had been talking as if his excitement had cooled, rushed in first.
‘I came.’
Cold swung his right hand with his whole body on it as a habit, without tension.
It was a heavy attack that could cause death in one shot, but a simple attack with a predictable trajectory.
At that moment, he raises up the remaining mana in his body and gathers it in his right hand, then dodges the attack first.
Then, using his mana, he aimed for the arm he had just stretched out with [Psychokinesis].
“What… What is this!”
For the first time, Cold shouted in bewilderment.
All I did with [Psychokinesis] Was to push my free arm outward.
The restraints would have been better, but there is a chance that the restraints will fail due to the level difference.
For now, it was enough just to push through.
“This bastard!”
Cold screaming loudly.
At that moment, the arm was pushed out, as if it had taken a missed swing.
As the body moves accordingly and the axis shakes, loopholes are momentarily revealed in front of your eyes.
The moment we have been waiting for has arrived. [Psychokinesis] Was hidden until the end, and one chance was created through the opponent’s carelessness.
“How dare you do such tricks!”
It seems that he realized that it was a dangerous situation, but before he could deal with it, the gauntlet reached his heart first.
Pung.
“Oops!”
The ‘Gloves of Destruction’ made an explosion, and at the same time Cold’s pain-filled sound resonated.
Vampires’ weakness is that they have a heart like humans.
I can’t stop using that part because I was kind enough to tell him that Cold is no different from before.
Cold reeling in pain. It can never be knocked down with a single attack. It caught up and continued to strike at the heart.
If we don’t finish here, it’s rather us who will die, so there’s nothing like this vampire in front of us being careless.
Pung. Pop. Pop.
“Haa… , ha…. Did you do it?”
I threw punches to the limit by pouring out all my remaining magic power, alternating both hands, and when there was no further response, I stopped the attack.
I saw Cold lying on the floor, motionless.
The clothes were worn out, and the area around the chest was slightly exposed, revealing only the part where the heart was.
No magic was detected either.
“Wonwoo!”
I heard Sujeongi’s voice full of joy in my ears.
Thinking that it was finally over, I turned around and moved my body to raise Sujeong.
At that moment, I suddenly felt the energy of magic behind my back.
Hook.
The sensation of something sharp piercing my arm was transmitted as it was.
When I lifted my arm and examined it, I saw black thorns deeply embedded in my skin.
And the thorn slips out as if it is about to return to its original place.
“Ugh.”
And blood began to leak through the holes.
A moan of pain escaped spontaneously from my mouth.
“No!”
Sujeongi’s cry filled with sadness, the exact opposite of the one before.
Reflexively, she stretched out her hand to stop the flow of blood.
However, she couldn’t completely stop the blood from leaking out.
Turning her back, I saw a tattered cold.
Unlike before, when he was relaxed, his face was full of anger.
“A human subject dares to take one of my heart?”
“… What does that mean?”
I’d never heard of a vampire having two hearts.
Cold looked at me and smiled as if his anger was relieved.
“Geuk, it feels good to see that bewildered expression. I’m special because I have two hearts.”
And then, as he tore off the remaining clothes near his chest, the dungeon core in the form of a huge diamond caught his eye.
“hahahahaha, you got your head rolling, but that must have been your last move.”
Then, as he opened his palm to the sky, the sharp black thorns he saw earlier rose from his hand.
“I will kill you if you don’t fall for Wonwoo right away!”
“Whoa, you look like a woman who has a taste for taming. Hang in there. I’ll take care of this guy and play with him.”
Cold lightly ignored Sujeongi’s anger and aimed the thorn in her hand at me.
“For a human, it was usable. [Revenge of the thorns] Was made to be used. I had a good time thanks to you, so let’s send it off neatly.”
As soon as he finished his words, the thorns in Cold’s palm bounced off and flew towards my forehead.
I kept rolling my head, but I couldn’t think of a proper way.
Thorns approaching right in front of us. You have to come up with it. Somehow
However, as if ignoring the wind, the thorn reached his forehead before he knew it and tried to tear the inside of his forehead.
A golden curtain suddenly blocked the thorns, refusing to approach.
Surprised, he turned his head and saw Sujeongi, who had stretched out her trembling hands and forcibly created a [Magic Barrier] While lying on her face.
“This b*tch!”
Cold saw that and noticed it, and turned around and approached Sujeongi, perhaps resentful of being disturbed.
An attack with enough force, as if it were unpleasant to have its own attack interrupted.
Sujeongi let out her moaning voice and collapsed on the spot again, but her eyes were on me.
A thought flashed through her head for a moment. Because I realized that this point of being caught off guard again while looking behind me was my last chance.
I rushed at Cold without hesitation.
When I let go of the arm that was blocking his blood, the blood gushing down from the perforated skin.
In the meantime, Cold, as if noticing that I had stood up, stretched out his hand and hurled the thorn at me again.
“Ugh.”
I didn’t even have the stamina left to escape, so I twisted his body and deliberately tried not to hit the vitals.
The thorns near the deltoid muscle brought instant pain, but I endured it by biting hard enough to make my lips bleed.
Then he grabbed his thorns with his hands to keep them from escaping, and continued running.
“You crazy human!”
As Cold continued to run after being hit by a thorn, he seemed flustered and spat out abusive language.
Cold, who was about to open his palm to summon the thorn again, said with a face of absurdity.
“What? Why can’t I be summoned more?”
Then he looks near the coffin he came out of and finds two candlesticks that have fallen. His face contorts.
“You stupid rich bastard! You can’t even handle the summoning ritual properly, causing an incomplete resurrection!”
I came close to Cold, who was screaming in anger.
I don’t know why, but it seems that there are no more spike attacks.
Cold also took damage from the previous attack, so his body can be seen staggering as if it was not in a normal state.
After getting close, I went into a low position and grabbed Cold by grabbing his waist and pushing him down.
Cold collapses helplessly.
Then he struggled and resisted, but he took out the last holy water from his belt and sprinkled it on Cold’s face.
Chiik.
“Aagh!”
As the handsome man’s face was melted by the holy water, it gradually began to change into an ugly look.
The pain was also considerable, and he screamed as he grabbed his face.
In the meantime, I reached for the dungeon core on his right chest.
“Ahh, let go! Let go!”
Once he noticed that he was aiming for the dungeon core, Cold struggled. However, he was blind and unable to take active action due to the pain caused by the holy water.
He had to rip it off somehow. It was an opportunity Sujeongie created, whether intentionally or not.
I tried to tear it apart with one unscathed arm, but I lacked the strength. Currently, it is an empty can with no remaining magic power.
In the end, the wounded arm also stretched out toward the dungeon core and gave it strength.
I could feel the blood flowing from the huge pierced wound, and I didn’t put much effort into it, but I didn’t care.
“That… stop. Please save me.”
Suddenly Cold felt threatened and begged for his life, shaking his body.
But he’s already come a long way from negotiating.
“Iyaap!”
With a scream of elation, I pulled it with both hands as if I was pulling out a deeply embedded rock, and there was a thick, cutting sound, and the dungeon core was pulled out and rolled backwards.
“Aagh! Dare to the human subject…. I, the great vampire clan! To be so insignificant… Resentful.”
Cold collapsed to the floor after leaving those words. And gradually the body loses its color and becomes like a black and white movie, and then it starts to disintegrate little by little.
“It’s a typical villain-like line and ending that you would see in a really old movie or cartoon.”
Cold’s disintegrated body naturally changed, leaving its shape on the floor like incense burnt ash, and in its place was a golden ring with a red jewel embedded in it.
But what is urgent right now is Sujeongi’s comfort, so she gets up. At that moment, I felt a bit dizzy, but passed Han Yoo-ra and approached Sujeong.
“Sujeong-ah, are you okay?”
I noticed minor wounds on Sujeongi’s body lying on the floor.
Sujeongi barely raised her body and said.
“Yes, although my body is still weak. This is fine. But we won in the end….”
Sujeongi smiles faintly.
“Yes, thanks to Sujeong, I won.”
“Ha…. It’s the first time I’ve been messed up like this while clearing a dungeon.”
Rather than getting hit, he must have slaughtered monsters. It was a series of unexpected events.
I dare say that it is the highest difficulty level among the A-level dungeons I have experienced.
“… Hey, don’t you mind me?”
Han Yoo-ra’s voice suddenly came from behind. She could be seen holding her body in place.
“Oh, that’s right. Are you okay? Looking at it earlier, he was lying on his stomach and saying nothing, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him.”
I spoke slightly sarcastically to Han Yoo-ra, who looked relatively normal, unlike the two of us, who were all wrecked.
Contrary to the expectation that she would be angry, Han Yoo-ra’s reaction was a sad expression, she said.
“Why, you say that. Shouldn’t you heal your wounds first?”
“… Where are you sick?”
She looked at her, feeling her strangeness in her attitude and her words, her sudden change in her.
