Chapter 39: Dungeon Raid [5]
****
Amon was surrounded by corpses as he stood, panting lightly.
The area around him was now again covered in pitch black blood again, and combined with the corpses, it gave a gory sight.
Though this wave had an increased number of beasts and also large sizes, it was relatively easier than the previous one.
Maybe it was because of his [Lightning] affinity increase combined with the fact that only their size had increased unlike the last phase, where wings had been added.
Dragging his body to a nearby tree, he settled down with a deep breath.
At the same time, the island rumbled deeply again.
RUMBLING! RUMBLING!
Ignoring the deep sound, he focused on himself.
Fortunately, there were no major injuries this time, but there were still several cuts.
He quickly started to close them all using his manipulation of blood.
After 10 minutes, he was finally done and so he started to practice mana breathing again. With each passing second, he felt his mastery over the technique increasing.
This was also indicated by him taking less time to recover his mana than before. Standing up, he dusted his cape which had some minor scratches at some places. Like always, he didn't forget to store their mana cores and blood.
Then he traveled to the outer edge of the island again, expecting another entrance.
And just like he thought, there was one.
However, unlike previously where there was a staircase heading down.
This time he saw a coral bridge that linked the current island to another island in the far distance.
The rumbling had probably raised the bridge to the surface from the depths of the blood sea.
[You need to be more careful in the next phase, stop relying too much on your skills. Try to use elements more creatively, you are being too narrow-minded right now.] Zephyra lectured.
He suddenly stopped and pondered upon her words.
It was true, in the latest phase he had used his three Void skills a lot, leading to a waste of
mana.
He would be able to kill them all if he knew how to use his elements more imaginatively.
Right now, all he did was use strings for blood and bolts for the lightning element. Surely he could do better than this...
After all, it was manipulation and maker, he could do whatever he wanted as long as he imagined it.
Nodding at her words, he started to cross the bridge.
He didn't lower his guard though. For all he knew, the 4th phase might have started as soon as he stepped on the bridge.
And just like he thought, it wasn't long before 13 ghoul beasts jumped out of the water, shooting into the sky.
In the next second, they landed upon the large coral bridge, surrounding Amon from both sides.
Suddenly, he felt two pincers closing around his arm, producing a sharp metallic sound.
CLANG!
Using his other arm, he grabbed the beast and threw it back into the incoming horde.
Meanwhile, he focused on the threads
12 threads...
He felt two blades scratching against his chest, however the cape protected him.
Catching on its blades, he punched it in the chest with the other arm and threw it onto the
ground.
25 threads....
One by one, he started to deal with all the beasts that attacked him while also facing minor
injuries.
And after two minutes.
46 threads.....
Just as the next beast was inches away from him, he disappeared from the spot.
The beasts looked around hurriedly trying to find him in confusion. Suddenly their ears perked up with noise, and they quickly faced to the other end of the bridge, finding Amon standing there in relief.
His gaze moved above them and they followed along.
There, they found a large vertical narrow cobweb, woven of 46 bloodstrings.
He instantly dropped the cobweb down upon all the beasts, trapping them at their place.
And as they looked up, they saw both of his now normal arms extend towards the web.
To their horror, two large bolts of electricity shot out of them, heading towards them.
But it didn't hit them.
Rather it hit the cobweb which was now connected to all of their bodies.
And in the next moment....
BUZZZZZZZ!
