Chapter 78 Defeating The Imps, And Dungeon

Damian quickly turned around, and his eyes met a tiny demon with brown skin, red eyes, two bat wings, and a big nose. It was an imp!

He did not know if it was the same imp that attacked Kayle, but it was an imp that he was sure about!

"An imp, a beast that can fly, broke a branch while walking? This does not feel right..."

Damian was not stupid, or else he would have died back when he was inside the dungeon. His mind worked at full speed, and he first thought about distraction!

So, he moved his head to all sides as quickly as possible, and sure thing, another imp was flying, using a tree as cover. Before Damian spotted the imp, it had already tossed a fireball toward him, and when he noticed it, Damian could feel the heat on his face, and his hair moved backward.

The attack was hard to dodge, but he did not need to! Damian was always hearing his protective slime armor, even if it did not show, so the black slime moved toward his head where the fireball would hit, creating a protective layer!

That did not happen when Tray punched him because Damian knew it was not a killing blow. Hell, it did not even hurt him back then. But a fireball from a mutated beast was a different story, and Damian did not want to take the shot.

Even with the slime protecting his face, Damian still felt a burning pain, but the good part was that his face was not all burnt. The slime protected him from fatal damage and wounds hindering his combat capabilities.

"You two bastards were plotting against me! I am the scheming king!" Damian cursed the two imps, preparing an attack of his own.

He moved his hand, and the slime ring created a black shield that Damian controlled using his Telekineses, protecting his back from the imp's attacks.

Then, Damian faced the imp who threw the fireball at him and said, "I will end you first!"

The slime formed two gauntlets, covering both of his hands, and using the power of his legs, Damian dashed toward the imp.

It was not a stupid creature, so it flew slightly higher to avoid Damian's attacks. The imp made laughing sounds for a split second, thinking a human-like Damian would not reach him.

Damian internally laughed after witnessing the situation, using his mental abilities to fly, reaching the imp, and throwing a right hook right into it!

The size of his gauntlet was similar to the entire body of the imp, and with force coming from his high attributes and the power of the slime itself, the imp could not endure it, breaking its bones and making it fall.

With one strike, the life of a beast ended, and it was time for Damian to get the other imp, who was already thinking about fleeing!

"Come here, you bastard!"

Damian chased the imp through the skies, grabbing it as he was way faster than that thing. He did not kill it but tried to use his mental abilities to look for the dungeon entrance if there was one around the area.

The imp spoke a lot of nonsense in a language Damian did not understand. "Speak it in the general bestial language, you bastard."

All the beasts had the language they spoke for their kind and a general one, as all the intelligent beasts from the dungeon could communicate using that.

"I will not tell you where the dungeon entrance is because you will kill me anyway, so screw it!"

That was basically what the imp said. It was smart because that was precisely what would happen to him after Damian got the needed information.

"I have no time to torture, and I am not good at it either," Damian thought, punching the imp with his gauntlet and killing it.

After ending the life of the two beasts, Damian returned to the area and tried to look for any clues regarding the dungeon entrance.

It meant it was well-hidden if no one found it up to that point.

"Well, not many people come to this village anyway, and if this is the first time the beasts left the dungeon, then it is understandable no one found it. But if I want to keep the monopoly of this place, I have to keep this a secret."

Damian knew the entrance would be a cobblestone building, so if he did not see it in the plain forest, it had to be somewhere else, but where?

He searched for the entire morning and afternoon, stopping to eat the grilled fish and salad he had brought.

"Harder than I thought."

After Damian finished eating, he stopped by the nearby river to get some fresh water to drink, and when he did that, he saw it!

Normal humans could not see the deeper parts of the river, but his body was superior, and Damian saw the cobblestone building at the deepest part of the river.

"The entrance is underwater! Great, at least it will be easier to avoid being found!"

Damian was not crazy enough to enter without preparing, so he returned to the village and looked for Vanessa.

"Do you want my help? With what?"

He kept it a secret, and once they arrived near the river, Vanessa could not believe her eyes, "the entrance!"

"Correct. Can you close it out using your earth-controlling ability? And also make it more hidden, if possible."

The plan was to build something around the river and probably move a part of the headquarters underground, close to the entrance, to ensure no one would find it and not use it.

But for now, Damian had to find other ways to ensure no one found the place, and Vanessa was his best option.

"Fine, I can do it. Move to the side and let me work," Vanessa said.

Damian gladly stepped to the side and watched Vanessa close the dungeon entrance.

"Now The Dawn has the same thing other big organizations have! It is only a matter of time for us, hahaha!"
