The Dungeon System
124.result of part 1

He wanted to preserve his consciousness and senses, so did not want to activate the Blood Berserker extension of his Bloodlust Characteristics, which left him with another Bloodlust Characteristic extension.

The prolongation of Blood Burning, which would burn his blood, vitality, life force, and energy to increase his strength, was the only thing he could use in his current situation, unless he gave up and restarted Stage 3 from scratch.

​​

If he were to use it in reality, he could lose years of life or could even push himself to death, while damaging his body and cultivation to increase his strength.

However in the dungeon, he did not have to worry about physical damage, and he felt that his mental fortitude had increased, so he would be able to deal with the mental and spiritual attacks he would experience.

The momentum he currently had at Stage 3 would be extremely difficult to recreate and his Numbing Spear had been used massively and would soon be destroyed, so he had no regrets when activating the Blood Burn extension of his Bloodlust characteristics.

"Blood Burn" he roared as he activated an extension that instantly caused his heart to start racing as his eyes began to glow red.

His blood began to boil as adrenaline flowed through his veins, and all of his energy and vitality began to churn all over his body, burning to impart a tremendous amount of power to Adam's body at once.

He struggled to keep his mind calm and used his Hunters mind fully as he launched himself into the air, then it fell down with all its might and stabbed the Hippo Boss Beast with the spear he was holding.

He subconsciously used his Internal Energy in attacks to increase his strength, and with his increased strength from the Blood Burning extension, he managed to stick the spear deep in the Hippo Boss Beast's head.

However, it did not manage to break through the thick skull of the monster and it was not enough to kill the Hippo Boss Beast.

Adam roared horribly as his Bloodlust soared.

Apart from his relentless urge and desire to kill, that had taken over his body while burning his blood, vitality, and energy to increase his strength, he said, Adam still had consciousness and pushed down onto the spear aiming to finish off the Boss Beast.

He felt that he could almost pierce through the beast's skull, which would allow him to pierce through his brain and kill it, yet before he could finish it with his sudden increase in strength, seeing that he had no choice, the Boss of the Nile Horse Beast submerged himself underwater.

Adam who did not want to retreat from the golden opportunity to defeat the Boss Beast, held the spear tightly and was pulled into the water with the Hippo Boss Beast.

Taking a deep breath, Adam was confident that with his cultivated body, he could hold his breath underwater for at least 10 minutes, he said, so had to wear the Hippo Boss Beast as much as he could in those 10 minutes.

After all his time was limited, because the longer he used Blood Burn, the closer he got to death and the more pain he would experience in reality, the more, while he also continued to lose blood through his injuries.

Once Adam let go, he knew that it would end and he would lose all the progress he had made in stage 3, as the Hippo Boss Beast would easily be able to kill him underwater.

After 15 minutes, Adam's lungs felt like they were on fire and even though the Hippo Boss Beast had slowed down, it was still not dead and it seemed like it was a failed attempt for him.

His body was unable to withstand the Blood Burns any longer and the numbing effect had disappeared as his entire body began to feel pain again and nearly died.

However when he thought it was all over, he realized that he was drowning and it seemed like the Nile Horse Beast could no longer maintain a strong frontline and had died.

After the accumulated numb effects and injuries he sustained, the Hippo Beast could no longer move and died with Adam holding it with his spear.

At that moment, Adam wanted to jump up and shout in excitement, but he was deep underwater, running out of air in his lungs, he said, and nearly lost consciousness of all the damage his Underground Prison Form suffered.

[Get me out of here] cried Adam in his mind, knowing that he had not completed the Floor until the system brought him back to the real world.

Instantly Adam felt his soul being sucked out of his Underground Prison Form and returned to his body in reality as he was suddenly engulfed in immense pain.

He lay in the corner of the dojo, opposite to where his master lay, and he suddenly started writhing in pain as mental pain permeated.

After returning to reality, the insensitive and insane state he was in, had been removed, which then made him experience the pain his Dungeon Form experienced in the basement.

However, unlike last time, he dealt with mental attacks much better and his master, who was used to seeing Adam's strength increase in his sleep, was surprised to see that he had broken through, but was in great pain.

Despite seeing Adam in pain, he did not involve himself and continued to lie down while using his spiritual senses to monitor Adam's body, if there was anything serious he had to help.

Adam's body was drenched in sweat as the blood vessels around his temple bulged out due to the pain he was in.

Unknowingly, Adam was able to convey to his body that he was in no pain, and after an hour of constant excruciating pain, he was unable to, being able to suppress and cope with most of the pain to the point that it can be borne and allow him to function properly.

[Time to see the results of my training] Adam thought to himself.
