Chapter 64: - Vs King Rainbow Wolf
At the beginning, around the time Marou Dungeon emerged, it was full of adventurers who came for the sake of obtaining attribute magic stones that rarely can be taken from the monsters that appeared there.
However, the reward for capturing the dungeon itself was only 40 level-ups and an effect-less ring. Because the value of those rewards was incomparably lower than the difficulty, there were only a few people who aimed to actually capture the dungeon.
During that time a party challenged the King Wolf for the first time after obtaining every attribute of magic stones. In the middle of battle, a member of the party accidentally dropped the wind magic stone which was directly eaten by the King Wolf and–turning it to King Wind Wolf.
After defeating the King Wind Wolf, the bonus reward they obtained was a Demon Wolf's Ring (Wind). Then, they found out that by wearing that ring, it is possible to reduce the damage taken from wind attribute magics by as much as 15%.
Since then, many parties have tried to do the same thing as them. And as a result, the fact that the King Wolf would be strengthened depending on the type of attribute magic stone it ate was found.
It also became clear that you could obtain a ring that reduces the damage taken from attributes of the magic stones that the King Wolf ate by 15% by defeating it at the first challenge.
–And that was the story of how the way to obtain bonus rewards from this dungeon became known.
Thus, I came here to defeat the King Rainbow Wolf and obtain a wolf ring that could reduce the damage taken from nine types of attributes.
And now, I only needed to defeat this opponent before me then everything will be solved–
"Damn, as expected it's an incompatible enemy for me."
–I instinctively cursed while fighting the King Rainbow Wolf.
First of all, I couldn’t manifest the Nameless Sword's true ability because the King Rainbow Wolf's level was lower than mine. And above all, an opponent that could mix a close and long-range battle to a high-degree was extremely troublesome.
"Grua!"
"Ugh!"
The ball of fire released by the King Rainbow Wolf scraps my shoulder as I was delayed to react. Although the damage wasn't that much, it was quite hot.
However, I don't have a leeway to worry about it. Because magic attacks fly one after another while I am dealing with that one attack.
"The situation will surely worsen if I just wait for an opening while dodging the magic like this… Can't be helped, I'll steel myself!"
Then, I activated [Superhuman Strength] and [Gale] at the same time.
________
Superhuman Strength Lv3: Attack Power +30% (Consumes 10MP per second)
Gale Lv3: Speed +30% (Consumes 10MP per second)
________
This battle likely won't last long…because this will be the climax!
"__Here I go!"
I strongly kicked the ground and accelerated. As I dodge the magic that flew toward me, the distance to the enemy was reduced in the blink of an eye.
"Grraa!"
However, it wasn't an enemy that would allow me to do as I please easily.
As if realizing that shooting fire orbs and wind bullets were useless, the King Rainbow Wolf changed its tactic and blew out a vast-range of flames forward but…
_It was as I expected!
"Don't hesitate, just go!"
Encouraging myself, I accelerated further.
Different from the fire orb that contained a condensed energy within it, a vast-range flame like this has lower firepower. Thus, I will be able to endure if it's just a moment!
And the result is, my plan was successful. In exchange for 1000 HP, I was able to break through the wall of fire in front of me.
"Grua–"
"Do you think I will let you!"
I threw a blast magic stone into the mouth of King Rainbow Wolf who was about to release another magic. As the name implies, it was a magic stone that causes a huge blast and damages the enemies. And like the HP recovery pill, I purchased it in case of an emergency.
*Doon*
The blast magic stone exploded as it reacted to the magic power accumulated inside the King Rainbow Wolf's mouth.
"Grya!?"
King Rainbow Wolf was in turmoil because of the sudden heavy damage from inside its body.
That’s why, if I wanted to do a follow-up attack, this is the time!
"Don't think that was the end!"
If it's already in the pocket, then this is my win. I swung the Nameless Sword at a high-speed and cut up the King Rainbow Wolf’s legs and belly.
As fast, as sharp, and as accurate. I will definitely use this opportunity to finish it!
Approximately 30 seconds later I still continued my attack while anticipating and preventing the movement of the enemy that was trying to activate another magic skill.
And then…
"This is the finishing blow!"
At the end, I attacked the King Rainbow Wolf whose movements were already dulled with a large swing.
The neck of King Rainbow Wolf danced in the air along with the heavy sensation in my hand transmitted from the handle of the sword. At the same time, the system sound rang informing me about the completion of subjugation.
『The dungeon boss has been subjugated』
『Experiences acquired – Level has increased by 5』
『Dungeon capture reward – Level has increased by 40』
"Fuuu, it's over."
Thus, like that, I won against the King Rainbow Wolf.
