Chapter 206 Shadowy Figure

'What the hell is that? Something shot out of the bat!'

Dragon-Erend stared with astonishment upwards.

Even though his claws were now sinking into the bat monster's body. But Dragon-Erend knew that what was at the end of his claw, was not the bat monster's true form.

Destroying it now felt meaningless.

Dragon-Erend has now seen another figure hovering close to the ceiling of the cave.

He flung out his claws and the bat monster's body which had been torn and burned by lightning fell onto the cave floor.

He no longer thought about the body that was now almost destroyed. Instead, he was staring at another creature that had emerged from it.

Whatever it was, it was hovering above him and Dragon-Erend was certain that the strange creature was staring at him.

Its body is just like a shadow. Black and showing no features.

The light from the lightning surrounding Dragon-Erend's body played a major role in showing a slight glimpse of its form.

If there was no light from the lightning, then Dragon-Erend would have a hard time seeing it even with his Dragon eyes.

"You managed to beat my first phase form. You turned out pretty good."

Suddenly, the floating black shadowy creature spoke. His voice sounded like that of a young male human.

It bothers Dragon-Erend's mind so much that he felt a disturbing shock.

'I-It can talk? What's more, it seems to be speaking the human language!'

Dragon-Erend can't wrap his mind around this event. He had not expected that things would develop like this.

"Of course, I can talk! You think I'm just a brainless blind bat monster like before?"

The creature's voice sounded angry. It seemed offended by Dragon-Erend's words.

Suddenly, while Dragon-Erend was still in the midst of confusion, a shocking notification appeared.

[You have defeated the First Dungeon BOSS. ]

[You Leveled Up! ]

[You Leveled Up! ]

[You Leveled Up! ]

Dragon-Erend frowned. 'I Leveled up and defeated the Dungeon Boss?'

In that case, the body he had just killed and had given him 1,200 experience was the true body of a Dungeon Boss?

That means the bat monster was dead. But if it's dead, who is the creature that came out of its destroyed body?

"You must be surprised to know you gained Exp, right? Don't be too shocked. You did kill me in my first phase. For Systema's Dungeon World, you will still gain Exp for killing a Dungeon Boss," the shadow-like creature explained.

Dragon-Erend decided not to bother about that now. If he did obtain Exp, then he would gladly accept it.

Moreover, the Exp he got was a lot from killing one monster.

Realizing that he couldn't wait any longer as he had to consider his MP condition, Dragon-Erend took the initiative to attack.

Although he was still curious about the shadow-like creature's origin, he didn't feel that he had the luxury to ask at this time.

​

If his MP runs out, then he must release his Dragon Transformation Skill. In that case, he might lose his chance to win.

*JZRRRCHUCHUCHUCHUT!*

Dragon-Erend shoots lightning bolts at the creature.

"Ohh, you attacked me? I think you don't want to waste your time, huh," the creature said.

It dodged by swerving sideways with ease.

*BOOM!*

Dragon-Erend's bolt of lightning passed through it and shattered the ceiling of the cave.

But Dragon-Erend didn't stop his attacks there. He continued to chase after the floating black shadow-like creature while shooting lightning bolts from his mouth.

*JZYUUUT!*

*JZYUUUT!*

*JZYUUUT!*

...

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

...

Dragon-Erend continued to shoot lightning bolts repeatedly.

However, his attack couldn't connect to the shadow-like creature.

It wasn't that the thing was too fast, it was just that the lightning bolt always just goes through its body.

'It couldn't be touched by my attack. This is much worse than the bat monster!'

Dragon-Erend realized his current situation. His feelings were very restless and full of anger.

Just now he had managed to defeat the bat monster who had beaten him so badly.

Now, a new more troublesome monster has emerged. When will all this end?!

Dragon-Erend attacks by shooting lightning bolts and a powerful swing of his claws.

However, none of the attacks could hit the black shadow creature.

"Are you done? Or should I wait until you run out of MP?" the creature said.

A moment later Dragon-Erend stopped attacking. He was finally willing to accept the fact that this was all in vain.

Keeping attacking like a maniac doesn't make him suddenly hit the creature.

*FSSSHHHH!*

Dragon-Erend exhaled tiredly so that white smoke came out of his nostrils.

'Whatever, you want to kill me now? then kill me. But don't get excited yet because I will find a way to kill you sooner or later!' Dragon-Erend said inside his head.

Those words he addressed to the shadow creature who was still floating arrogantly.

"You defeated this Dungeon Boss and gained Exp. Why do you have to kill me too?" the shadow creature said. Its tone still sounded as relaxed as before.

'What? shouldn't I kill you too so I can go to the next place?' Dragon-Erend asked in a confused tone.

"My first phase was indeed one of the Dungeon Bosses at this Level. However, my current form is a Dungeon Boss at the next Level. You actually shouldn't be able to beat me yet."

Hearing that, Dragon-Erend was stunned. Why didn't he think like that earlier?

He even got a notification that he had defeated this Dungeon Boss. Yet, he still kept wanting to attack.

After noticing that, Dragon-Erend de-activated his Skill and transformed back into his human form.

His MP was low when Erend checked again.

But Erend could feel relieved after hearing the shadow creature's explanation. He finally succeeded in defeating the Dungeon Boss who had been making him struggle for a long time.

"Well, then. I'll be back. See you later," Erend said then turned his body.

"Wait," the shadow creature interrupted him. "Wouldn't you like to chat with me for a moment? I'm sure I have some interesting things to say."
