Chapter 37: Dungeon Raid [3]



****

Amon stood in the clearing of a forest, surrounded by 7 remaining ghoul beasts.

Though he would have preferred hunting them down one by one, he had to keep his mana expenditure under control.

He still had 4 phases to go through after all.

With his right arm coated in blood, he stood ready to respond at any moment.

One of the ghoul beasts to his left perked up as his foot lightly scratched over the rough ground and instantly pounced upon him.

With his plan working, Amon raised his left hand towards the beast and fired off a lightning bolt.

[To your right!] Zephyra warned.

Not bothering to look at it, his head took a sharp turn to the side as he felt 3 pincers scratch against his arm.

CLANG!

Due to his artifact effect and blood coating, the pincers were barely able to scratch against his

arm.

Grabbing its head and separating it from his arm, he sent a jolt through its head, making it explode into a mushy mess.

The blood splattered over Amon's mask, painting it black.

[Behind you!] Another warning came.

The headless body of the beast fell to the ground and he spun on his heel, turning to face two ghoul beasts inches away from him.

At that moment, his spatial ring glowed in a faint blue hue and two blobs of blood appeared next to him.

Each blob turned into two thick sharp strings of blood and instantly shot out towards the two beasts.

The strings pierced through one of each beast's eyes, making them scream in pain.

SLASH! SLASH!

""SHREEEK!""

Grabbing their bodies with both his hands, Amon sent a jolt of electricity from his left hand, ending one beast's life.

For the second one, he simply folded his blood-coated hand with as much force as he could muster, and within some seconds, the body of the beast erupted in a big bloody mess.

However, there was no time to relax.

Three of these monsters were still alive.

And exactly at that moment, the goddess inside his head warned him again.

[3 from behind you!]

Sensing they were close, he had no time to turn back without getting hurt.

So, he used one of his skills and instantly disappeared from his position. '[Voidstep]'

Appearing behind all of them, he saw them pounce at nothing but thin air.

Manipulating 2 of them into two thick strings again, Amon got ready for battle.

The beasts lashed out at him with their pincers which he efficiently countered with his bloodstrings that clashed with them.

CLANG!

The clash echoed loudly in the cave, making Amon click his tongue in frustration.

This would attract all of the ghoul beasts towards him now.

Going toe to toe with their jaws and pincers by using his strings, he finally managed to coat

his arm in blood.

And in the next moment, he delivered a bone-cracking punch to the mouth of one beast,

breaking its pincers.

The beast shot back with a scream of pain.

Now left alone, the second was no match for 2 strings at once and quickly succumbed to a fatal

death.

However, as soon as that happened, Amon suddenly felt two sharp jaws closing in around his

both shoulders.

"ARGHH!" He screamed in pain.

Quickly grabbing the head of one of the beasts with his blood arm, he closed his first with

force, while also bearing the constant pain he was getting.

After a few seconds of using his full force, the head of the beast finally caved into the force,

exploding in blood.

Taking his attention away, he focused on the other beast on his right shoulder and quickly

sent electricity coursing through its body at full strength.

Soon, it died as well, sending its body crashing into the ground.

Amon noticed two deep gashes on his shoulder now, with blood pouring out of them.

But he had no time to focus on that.

Because as he looked around him, he now saw 11 ghoul beasts surrounding him.

The new ones with wings were hiding behind stalactites while the others were hiding behind

stalagmites.

Realizing the situation he was in, he couldn't help but curse.

"Fuck...."
