Chapter 40: Dungeon Raid [6]
****
BZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!
The blood web crackled with bright yellow electricity, emitting a bright light while multiple shrieks erupted from the beasts.
SHRIEEEEK!!
The crackles and screams continued for a whole minute before finally ceasing slowly.
Amon opened his eyes after the bright light finally abated.
There in front of him, lay all 12 bodies of the ghoul beasts, electrified and scorched to death. The blood web erupted into a fountain of blood once he stopped his supply of mana.
Walking to their bodies, he stood still for some moments, waiting if any other beasts to pop
out.
Fortunately, none did.
Letting his guard down a little, he crouched down and sliced their bodies open using their pincers.
He stored every single mana core of the beast, before facing the sea.
Pointing his spatial ring at the sea, the object started to glow in a bright blue sheen.
Suddenly, small portions of the sea started to disappear in chunks, before the blood around it filled the space up.
Amon sat there for 2 whole hours, with his ring pointed toward the sea, which was now at a lower level than before.
Finally, the sheen died down and the sea stopped losing blood.
He quickly checked the description of the ring.
Artifact Capacity: [10000L/10000L]
Nodding with satisfaction, he stood up, ready to face the last 18 enemies of the wave.
With that thought, he headed inside the forest.
*****
[After 2 Hours]
Amon sat down on the ground with his back against a tree while looking at the new notification in front of him.
[Your [Blood] element has leveled up!]
This time, however, no new influx of information came. But he did feel his control and mastery over blood increase by a good amount.
His cape was pretty much fully covered in ghoul blood now.
But the latter was prepared and quickly ducked to the ground, letting the blade pass over harmlessly.
Following that, he stood up and ran towards the beast.
Multiple blobs of blood appeared next to him before transforming into sharp thick strings
that launched toward the mantis-like beast.
The strings coiled around its upper arms, preventing them from moving.
With its movement of arms restricted, Amon dashed to its underside and launched a blood
and lightning coated first at its chest.
A large thud resounded in the air.
THUD!
The mantis' body jolted with a shock and was forced back a couple of inches.
"SHRIEKKK!"
It cried out in pain and quickly flung its leg at Amon, attempting to drive him away.
Caught by surprise, he quickly created a small blood shield to save himself from the attack.
However, the shield was destroyed instantly and the leg cleanly connected with his arm, sending him flying backward.
His body crashed into the surf zone of the blood sea before he quickly stabilized himself and
stood up.
His body ached from the immense pain but unfortunately it wasn't over just yet as he saw another blade nearly meters away from crashing into him.
Letting his instincts take over, he raised his hand and quickly manipulated the blood inside
the arm.
And though it quickly failed because of how strong the beast was, it was enough to change the trajectory of the attack and let him dodge it.
Diving to the side, Amon stood up and glared at the beast.
He knew that if he used the normal methods of both elements again, he would undoubtedly
die.
Which was why he had to take a risk and take this a step further.
'Guess we'll have to do it another way....' Amon thought and walked forwards.
