The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 135 - The Determining Fight
“Become…. Your opponent?” My words are full of surprise.
How not, Ruderioss had the power to turn the entire world into a desert. Killing me? It was just like hitting a mosquito for him.
Simultaneously, all the monsters present in this desert disappeared. They were all crushed and turned into sand. Really, what kind of power does he have.
Realizing that I was being swallowed by panic, Ruderioss again said. But now, He does not speak with a voice that can shake the world. Rather, a melodious voice from a Man.
“This is the first time I showed myself to a Human after hundreds of years. Last time, I just showed myself to my followers.” Ruderioss said in such a beautiful tone. But now, with his form that resembles a human.
Her appearance is very charming. It has a slightly dark brownish skin. The clothes are white cloth that covers most of his body and decorated with various gold jewelry.
His straight and long black hair was moving here and there when it was buffeted by the wind in this desert.
On both wrists looks a gold bracelet that is quite beautiful and very fitting with the size of his hand. While his golden-colored eyes seemed to have a very strong attraction.
I could not even stop to look at the charming figure of Ruderioss. Slightly in my heart, can I be such a cool figure.
But as soon as I came to my senses from the hypnosis caused by her appearance, I started talking.
“Didn't you say that killing me with your own hands would only embarrass you?” I asked Ruderioss.
“Hahaha! You are right! That's why, I won't try to attack you at all! And you, Eric. I'll declare you a winner if you manage to hurt me just a little.” Ruderioss said with a wide smile.
Instantly, a system notification appeared before me again.
...[.Secret Quest!]...
...[.Ruderioss’s Challenge!]...
...[.Rank : SS]...
...[.Mission]...
...Give at least 1 damage to Ruderioss....
...[.The Quest Completion Prize]...
...[.Legendary Skill Book: Ancient Desert Dragon’s Footwork]...
...[.Consequences of Refusing the Mission]...
...[.Ruderios will be disappointed in you!]...
...[.Consequences of Mission Failure]...
...[.There's not]...
...[.Are you going to receive this Secret Quest?]...
...[.Yeah] [No]...
After swallowing my saliva from seeing the notification that appeared before me, I immediately pressed the [Yes] button. After all, defeat is not a problem here as long as I don't reject it.
“Alright, Ruderioss! I'll fight you!” I shouted excitedly after seeing the reward that could be obtained.
After all, is it hard to give one point of damage? I'm sure even my lowest skill [Ex Magic Missile] can also deal at least 1 damage.
“Good decision, Eric. Now, let's get started! Attack me anytime!” Shouted Ruderioss loudly while crossing his two quite dark arms.
Without waiting for long, I immediately used my fastest skill.
‘Ex Magic Missile.’ I said inwardly as I pointed my staff towards Ruderioss.
In just less than 1 second, the magic bullet had shot toward Ruderioss' human-like body.
‘Outside!’
There was an explosion sound. It is clear that….
[You have done 0 damage!]
“Isn't that the name doesn't provide any damage at all?!” My screams are full of annoyance.
Without me noticing, my body filled with fatigue was now starting to burn with a very burning spirit fire. As if…. I can fight at full strength with no hesitation at all.
“Hmm! Your attack is quite fast, but it seems that it can't even touch my body!” Shouted Ruderioss with a wide smile.
When I looked at him well, around his body was the pressure of the wind along with the strong sand. Could it be, that a grain of sand of his was able to withstand the attacks of the Magic Missile?
“Then, I'll start getting a little serious Eric!” Ruderioss said as he let go of the cross of his hand.
In just a moment.
Ruderioss. No. gabe…. More precisely, it moves very quickly! He ran around me at a very high speed and in a completely unpredictable direction.
“Hahaha! Now, can you deliver an attack powerful enough to injure me while following my movement speed?!” Shouted Ruderioss. For some reason, his voice seemed to be filled with joy.
“Damn it! Ex Magic Missile!” I shouted in annoyance. After all, Ruderios's speed of action was simply absurd. The former footsteps still left sand flying in the air while his body had far left the place.
As soon as the [Ex Magic Missile] skill shipment was completed, about 20 magic bullets appeared surrounding my body. Everything was ready to be fired in all directions.
‘If I can hit it at least a few times it is possible..’ I thought in my heart.
But as always.
Expectations never match reality.
‘Duaarr!! Duaarr!’
The 20 magic bullets exploded in various directions. Even so, nothing about Ruderioss still continued to surround me. Wasn't the [Ex Magic Missile] skill a type of magic that locked onto its target?!
In other words, Ruderioss was too fast for that magic bullet to follow.
“Hahaha! What are you doing, Eric?! Don't you want my treasure?! The skill book I will give you is one of the basic parts of my speed!” Shouted Ruderioss as he continued running.
Now his speed increased and sandstorms began to appear only because he ran around me.
“How can I get to you if you move that fast?! Besides if I hit you, I can't give you even 1 point damage!” I cried out in annoyance while thinking about what I should have used to defeat him.
“I'll wait another 2 minutes, Eric! If it's more than that, then I'll assume you lost and that book you'll never get again!” Ruderioss.
2 minutes?
How-to?
Even though I summoned hundreds of monsters, I'm sure they won't be able to keep up with his speed. Although capable, I am very confident that they will not be able to deal damage to even one number.
I also don't know if Ruderioss will let my call monster live like me. Most likely, he would kill him instantly given how fast his movements were.
Moreover, if I have to make an evolution and give sigil to a new monster. In time, it was impossible to do. Even for….
Wait up!
“Ex Healing.” I said to myself. Immediately, my body was surrounded by a green light that healed all the wounds I had previously experienced when fighting monsters. Health Pointku was back to full 100%.
Soon after that….
“Amplify...”.
I waited for 30 seconds, then used the [Overdrive] skill to reset the Cooldown of the Amplify skill.
After the Cooldown was reset, I returned to using the [Amplify] skill. I also waited for Amplify to be fully charged for 30 seconds. That way, the next skill I will use will experience an increase of 200% after 2 times this amplification.
The skills I want to use?
“Self…. Destruct.” I said in a very bright voice. My entire body was now beginning to be enveloped by a beautiful red light. Gradually, the light became brighter until finally….
