The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 4 - Results
A few minutes have passed.
The lacing of the axe swung by the minotaur destroyed the entire room. I who failed several times to avoid receiving very serious damage. Even now....
"Damn it, is the attack getting faster?"
'Twoaarrr!!!'
[You received 3711 damage!]
[You received a Critical attack from the enemy!]
[You received the Stun effect because the damage you received was huge!]
"Ughhhh! Am I going to die for nothing here?"
The minotaur seemed to be preparing to swing its axe right at my body. My condition is still exposed debuff in the form of stun makes me unable to move.
[Debuff: Stun - 2 seconds]
Only 2 seconds.
But it feels so long. Don't think about sipping a bottle of potion. Moving the body cannot.
My body that started lying on the hard throw was pressing something.
'Click!'
"Damn it, there's already a boss, in this room there's also a trap?"
From a distance, dozens of daggers were thrown at me. Just then, the minotaur boss also prepared to slash at me.
What a tragic end to having fought all this time.
'Jithel!'
'uh? Why is there no notification?'
I opened my eyes slowly. Dozens of daggers that were supposed to stab me, turned out to stab the minotaur's body. Wrong he himself stood right between my body and the direction the trap came from.
Apparently, the dagger gives a stun or paralysis effect, making the minotaur unable to move for a while. If the dagger hits me, it is certain that I will die.
"A chance!"
I rushed to grab the key that was on the minotaur's neck and immediately fled through the entrance.
Yeah, in other words, I took the path back in the direction I came. With such a complicated labyrinth, I'm sure this isn't the return path it should be. But bodo, this is all I have!
I ran with all my might. The minotaur started to lose the debuff stun effect and the paralysis started chasing me.
"What is true? Boss can get out of the boss room?!"
Moreover, the movement of the minotaur was so fast. If I don't turn my brain around then I'll die. Instantly I remembered.
This place is full of traps. There's no point in me fighting a 3x level monster using a sword and a shield.
I immediately put the sword into the inventory. So did the shield and thin iron armor I used. All of that was useless against the minotaur's absolute power. All it has to do is become a burden and make my movements slower.
As such, I only rely on my memories while going through this labyrinth.
Actually the size of this labyrinth is not too big. But because I was too careful and stepped slowly while paying attention to the trap made the journey very long.
"I still remember some of his trap positions!"
I also use the traps that are in this labyrinth to fight the minotaur.
'Click.. click...'
I stepped on the entire floor trap that was clearly visible and immediately ran. Some of them hit the minotaur, though most did not. Naturally, because the direction of the trap is intended for those who activate.
An hour more has passed. I have also sipped 3 bottles of stamina potion to restore my stamina so as not to experience the debuff effect of fatigue.
I also encouraged myself to look back a little.
The movement of the minotaur began to slow down. How not, hundreds of arrows had been stuck in his body. Not to mention the chains and incisions of all the traps I activated.
Even so, the HP bar belonging to the minotaur was still around 60%.
"Truly a monster, how to defeat that creature!"
Despite circling in the labyrinth, I finally found the passageway where I entered this labyrinth. I rushed there. That minotaur is still following me, maybe we're about 20 meters apart. Quite a distance away, but still less far for me given how terrifying this monster was.
After passing through that door, the minotaur had a little trouble getting through. Because of his oversized body, he had to destroy the rocks and walls around the door first.
"It's enough to give me time!"
I rushed to the damn book.
I used the key and it turned out to be true this is the right key.
The book opened up by itself and brought out a bright light from its pages.
System notifications suddenly appeared.
[Player: Eric has opened one of the ancient books!]
"I thought this was a treasure, well considering how much trouble I had. If this damn book was indeed useless then I would burn it all haha...."
I began to breathe.
[Do you want to use the ancient book : The Summoner?]
[Yes] [No]
"Of course Yes! Even though I don't know what the summoner means, what language is this? Italy? I don't know but it sounds so powerful!"
[Player: Eric has used the ancient book : The Summoner]
The light that came out of the book wrapped me. I felt a great power flowing within the body of this character of mine. Not without reason. But because so many system notifications appeared before me.
[Player: Eric has earned 1 growth point in the STR attribute]
[Player: Eric has earned 1 growth point in the AGI attribute]
[Player: Eric has earned 5 growth points in the INT attribute]
[Player: Eric has earned 1 growth point in the VIT attribute]
[Player: Eric has earned 1 growth point in the STA attribute]
[Player: Eric has earned 1 growth point in the DEX attribute]
[Player: Eric has obtained Unique Skill: Summoning]
[Player: Eric has got Unique Skill: Contractor]
"Looky! Total 10 growth points! I heard that growth points can be increased through the consumption of Elixir, legendary potions or hidden quests. So this is one of them! But. 10 points at a time sounds very strong, even though half goes to INT."
"By the way, what exactly is this summoner?"
[Player: Eric has finished reading the ancient book : The Summoner]
A moment after, my consciousness returned to the room where the book was and before me....
The book burned down. It seemed like the acquisition of this kind of skill was a unique thing that only one player could obtain. There are other ancient books. But I'm very satisfied with this result.
Not done having fun....
'Twoaaarrrrr!!!'
The minotaur managed to break through the wall that blocked him from earlier.
"Let's try what the summoner's powers are like!"
I also opened the skill list and activated summoning.
"Crazy, which consumption is 1500? Where am I who has now reached 1600 more as if it is still lacking."
I pointed my hand forward and as the skill activated, a magic circle appeared on the ground. The magic circle is beautiful white.
"So my ability is a summoning? This is so awesome!"
And behind the white light of the magic circle, a monster appeared. My heart is overjoyed that I have this incredible power. But as always. Expectations will never match reality.
[Slime: Lv. 1]
Yes, that is the monster that emerged from summoning magic that consumed almost my entire mana. A jelly-like monster was green and small in size.
The Minotaur that was unwilling to wait turned out to have swung its axe towards me and the slime monster.
The outcome?
[You have received 7398 damage!]
[Your HP has reached 0]
[You die]
[As a level penalty you will be reduced by 3 levels!]
[You can't access Re:Life for 24 hours real world!]
[Your Respawn Location is Hige Village!]
[You are forced to log out!]
Yeah, I'm dead.
