The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 108 - Battle in the Desert
‘Bruuk!’
I immediately sat down by dropping my body on this stone floor. Not because of running out of Stamina Point or Health Point. Because I was mentally tired.
“Damn…. It forced me to think this hard. Even I didn't think this hard on the exam.” I said to myself.
“Sir! What's up?!” Lucien cried out in confusion.
Looking at the direction outside the wall made me think hard. Aboutwhat? Of course about how to defeat the hundreds of thousands of barbarians who are currently starting to walk here.
“Lucien. Do you want to rampage and slaughter them all?” My question's short.
“Of course! I so want to slaughter them all with the power of darkness..”.
“Assimilation. This is my command. Use my body to do all that. Now, let me rest. Work with Chris and others.” I said, starting to close my eyes.
Without any pause, Lucien immediately accepted the assimilation request I submitted to him. Instantly his body turned into a golden light and entered my body. My body that was originally included in the human race, has now changed little by little into the vampire race.
Of course, Lucien immediately controlled my body. While me? I chose to rest while observing how Lucien would use the power I had.
Although, now my body's strength will be a little stronger because it has absorbed Lucien's power.
“Tuanku…. Just trust me with everything!” Lucien shouted while spreading his bat wings on my body.
It immediately flew into the sky. Lucien who was using my body appeared to be holding the Staff of Enigma in his right hand.
From a distance, there was a person who was running quite fast. His burly body made the man have a fierce appearance. It was Chris.
On his back was seen hanging a large sword, Aamori’s Sword. While his body is protected by armor with shiny Mithril material. Of course, everything was at the Legendary level.
“Wait for me, Eric! I'm not gonna let you take all the prey.. huh? Who are you?” Chris said in confusion after seeing my current body.
“I'm sorry, Man. But my Master has entrusted his body to me. If you really do not want to lose all those victims, then try your best to surpass me.” Reply Lucien who was still flying in the air.
“Ah! Lucien huh?! Ahaha! Let's see it! Who will kill more…. Wait first! If you use it again isn't that too cheating?!” Shouted Chris after seeing Lucien lift his wand and use the [Amplify] skill.
But the difference is that Lucien only uses Amplify once. He had realized how much of a burden he suffered when using it more than once. Not only that, he was also in a flying position.
“Hahahah…. Take it easy, Man. My current ability is unable to subvert that giant elephant! What if you take out all those elephants and I'll support you from behind?” Lucien asked who was using my body while smiling.
“Good idea!” Chris shouted as he jumped out of the wall. Immediately, he ordered all the archers to be ready to fire. It was all because as time went on, the barbarian army was getting closer and closer.
“Fire Blast!” Shouted Lucien while aiming his magic wand in the distance.
‘Duuuaaaarrrr!!’
Instantly, an explosion appeared with a size of about 25 meters. The power of the explosion was not very great. Especially sound. But of course, that explosion was enough for all of this.
“I have opened a path for you, Man. Hurry up and pick up the disgusting elephant!” Lucien shouted to Chris.
Chris just raised his left hand and gave a thumbs up. Without much regard for it, Lucien immediately used the Overdrive skill to reset the Cooldown of Amplify.
While the length of time activation Amplify done by Lucien?
Only 1 second. It was because Lucien was planning to fight efficiently. Efficient in this case is to use the lowest Mana Point possible, but with the best possible Output.
The 20,000 Mana Points given to the Amplify skill would result in a magic circle that amplified magic by 50%.
With the amount of Mana Point 10 x fold greater, the increase in magic power that occurs is only 2 x fold or become 100%.
That was why Lucien did not activate the Amplify Skill for too long.
“Aerial Movement!” Lucien shouted once more while pointing his magic wand at Chris.
[Player: Chris has received the Buff Aerial Movement effect!]
[Player Speed: Chris has increased by 45%]
[Player attack speed: Chris has increased by 60%]
Instantly, Chris' movements became lightning-fast. Or rather, a great swordsman who possessed a speed of motion far surpassing that of an Assassin.
Chris continued to move his feet as fast as possible towards the 10-meter-tall giant elephant. Without hesitation, he immediately jumped.
Of course, the jump was only 3 meters high. A very high jump. Even so, Chris will not reach the top of the elephant's body.
But Chris entrusted everything to me. Or rather…. To Lucien.
‘Tap!’
Instantly, a Mana Shield appeared in the air where Chris jumped. Chris quickly made use of the shield's presence and jumped back a second time.
‘Tap!’
Once again, a Mana shield reappeared in the air. The position is very precise with the direction of Chris's jump. Really, just looking at it makes me astonished. Where did Lucien get the idea to use the Mana Shield as a foothold to jump from?!
‘Tap! Tap!’
Chris jumped in the air four times. On his last leap, he was taller than the giant elephant. Immediately, he twisted his body vertically while swinging his sword.
It was a high-level Acrobatic-type Skill, [Rolling Cut].
‘Slasssh! A slaassh!! Slaaaaaaaaasssh!!!’
Chris continuously cut off the elephant's head at every turn of his body.
Chris' sword was able to cut off the giant elephant's head like it was cutting through butter. Doesn't seem to have the slightest trouble doing it.
In an instant, the giant elephant's head was cut off and fell in this desert. The next thing that happened was that the giant elephant body began to turn into light. That is the sign of death in this world.
About ten barbarians riding this giant elephant appear to fall from a height of 10 meters. Not giving it a chance, Lucien immediately fired 12 magic bullets from the Skill [Ex Magic Missile].
[Ex Magic Missile] had the same attack power as a regular [Magic Missile]. However, the difference was that in the skill [Ex Magic Missile], Cooldown had been eliminated. In other words, I can shoot it as much as possible.
Although, the amount of Mana to be ejected would further increase along with the number of magic bullets fired simultaneously. But that's not too big a problem. Now it's….
‘Outside. Duars. Duaaar!’
The entire Magic Missile bullet hit each of its targets. Although it looked easy, the implementation was quite difficult because the Player or NPC had to determine the target that the Magic Missile would lock.
But it's just a very trivial thing for a very talented person like Lucien.
“Thanks for your help, Lucien!” Shouted Chris who had currently started running towards the next target.
“Fufu…. A weak man like you wouldn't be able to cut that elephant without my help!”
On the other side….
A fierce battle between the Salvation Warriors as well as the Monsters with the Barbarians was taking place outside the walls of the Border Dungeon.
The melee army, both humans and monsters fought with all their might to withstand this incursion from the Barbarians. They held the Barbarians to approach the wall and put down the stairs.
“Shoot!” Shouted a Woman with pink hair, Elin.
‘Wuooossh! Wuoooossh!!!’
Along with his orders, thousands of arrows shot into the middle of the battlefield.
‘Jleb! Jleeeeb!!!’
Most of the arrows had pierced the bodies of the Barbarians. Although, they did not die immediately. But at the very least, that rain of arrows could reduce most of the Health Point they had.
“Incar the back so as not to hit our side! Especially, go after those rhino riders!” Shouted Elin to all the archers who were on the wall.
Without answering, the archers immediately aimed their bows according to Elin's orders.
“Shoot!”
And so…. The battle began to become very violent.
