Chapter 203 - dungeon 3

We watched Lily fight the monster with everything she had: wind blades, fire spears, earth spikes, and many more spells.

Her body is augmented with mana and she controls her mana in every attack with precision.

Her aura is also included in her attack.

However, the more the monster was hit, the more intense its rage became. Its attacks grew wilder and more lethal than before.

Lily was struck by one of the Earth Dragon’s attacks. She had already created a wind barrier, but it was useless because the attack still managed to hit her.

She spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown backward.

But she refused to give up. No matter what, she was going to win or fight until the end.

I watched her and shook my head in disapproval.

Your life is the most precious thing. It’s not worth sacrificing just to prove yourself or satisfy your desire to win.

However, I wasn’t going to express my opinion here.

I watched as Lily charged forward and attacked desperately. After finding a pattern in the monster’s movements, she began targeting one of its legs.

She kept injuring it, trying to restrict the monster’s movements.

The monster noticed her intentions and began protecting its injured leg. However, since Lily wasn’t a close-range fighter, it couldn’t set a trap and catch her off guard easily.

They were in a stalemate. The monster wanted to crush Lily into paste, while Lily wanted to kill the monster and finish the dungeon.

I looked at Luna, who was watching the fight with growing interest. She was already analyzing the battle, figuring out how to defeat the monster and what she would do in Lily’s situation.

As for the mage woman, she calmly drank her tea while watching the fight.

Lily was injured, so she drank a healing potion, but it wasn’t enough to fully recover her.

Her stamina was also running low.

I gave my verdict.

"It seems the fight is going to end soon."

Luna nodded beside me, but the mage woman shook her head.

"No, there’s still plenty to watch."

I grew curious, so I watched the fight again while drinking my tea.

The monster was also bleeding as the fight continued. Then, I understood what the mage woman meant.

It wasn’t that Lily was at a disadvantage. Both of them were injured, which meant they could continue fighting for much longer.

Lily used mana augmentation on herself as she used Wind Magic to move around the battlefield and attack the monster.

Her face showed determination as she began to believe she could win the battle.

We watched from the sidelines as she made several risky moves.

However, if she stayed calm and thought things through, she could gain a greater advantage instead of resorting to such reckless actions.

I knew the saying that fortune favored the bold, but that wasn’t always true. Sometimes, all it took was a single mistake to determine whether you lived or died. Taking unnecessary risks was foolish.

Just then, I heard her master speak.

"Hey, kiddo. Be prepared to step in."

My eyes widened as I looked at the battlefield, but I didn’t doubt her words. She was a much more experienced fighter than us.

We could see that Lily had the advantage in the battle, but who knew what might happen next?

We watched for several more moments before her master spoke again.

"When you rescue her, use a healing potion."

I asked what was happening, but she simply told me to keep watching the fight.

Then I added, "It’s not good to use healing potions constantly. So, Luna, if something happens, you heal her."

She nodded, and Lily’s master nodded in approval.

Then we saw Lily lose consciousness in midair.

My eyes widened, but my perception was already locked onto her. I immediately used teleportation and caught her before she could hit the ground.

I looked at the monster. Luna had already used an ice spell to freeze its movements.

I looked at her and nodded in approval before teleporting back.

Luna came over to us and immediately began healing Lily with her Light Element.

Then Luna said, "She was poisoned by that monster. The poison spread throughout her body without her realizing it."

Lily’s master nodded.

"Hmm, quite the observation. That’s right. That dragon has poisonous gas, and Lily must have inhaled some of it."

"That’s quite a mistake on her part. She always needs to keep an eye on her own condition."

Then I understood what was happening and looked at Luna.

"Keep healing her. I’ll remove the poison."

Luna nodded. "Okay..."

Her expression was serious as I extended my hand toward Lily and used Devour.

I focused solely on absorbing the poison. A purple gas emerged from her body and was absorbed by me.

If I let it remain inside her, it would continue spreading. Luna could also be affected if she got too close.

Lily’s master looked at me with wide eyes.

"Hey, brat! What are you doing? Why the hell are you absorbing it? It’s going to affect you!"

I chuckled at that.

"No, this is too weak to do anything to me."

Luna added from the side, "His physique has many resistances, and it’s adapted to withstand almost anything. Poison can’t do anything to him."

Lily’s master looked at us speechlessly.

"You two really are monsters incarnate."

I laughed at that while Luna continued stabilizing Lily’s condition.

However, the monster had already broken free from Luna’s ice and was rushing toward us.

When I turned to deal with it for good by summoning Eclipse, Luna shouted, "Hey! Don’t you dare kill it! I need to fight it too!"

All my battle intent evaporated. I unsummoned Eclipse.

"Ahhh, fine."

Seeing this, Luna smiled brightly.

"That’s more like it!"

While she finished healing Lily, I augmented my hand with pure Space Force and used Abyssal Energy to empower myself before heading toward the dragon.

It was already injured, and one of its legs was practically unusable, so it didn’t have time to move out of the way.

My punch struck the dragon with most of my power, combining Space, Abyssal Energy, and gravity.

The punch was unbelievably powerful, sending the dragon stumbling backward again and again.

Lily regained consciousness and witnessed the scene. Her eyes widened at the sheer power behind my punch.

Luna looked at me and smiled. Then she turned to Lily’s master and handed Lily over to her.

"Here, look after her. We’ll take care of the monster."

As she spoke, her eyes twinkled with the joy of fighting the monster.

Before Lily’s master even had a chance to say anything, Luna disappeared into the battlefield at light speed.

Lily’s master watched the scene with amusement. Then she looked at her disciple and realized that Lily was surprisingly in very good condition.

So she said, "Lily, look at that fight and learn. Those two monsters studied you like an open book while you were fighting. That was terrifying."

"Their speed of analysis is terrifying as well, so try to learn from them."

Lily nodded and watched us with the utmost focus, determined to learn something.

Luna entered the battlefield with her sword in hand, clad in elegant snow-white armor. Her eyes shone with the excitement of fighting the monster.

Then Luna looked at me innocently and asked, "How about we heal the monster before fighting it?"

I looked at her with wide eyes and sighed.

"Ahhh, you’re hopeless as ever. Here I thought I was the crazy one."

She looked at me with her big, bright blue eyes. They were so innocent and sparkling as she asked, "What do you mean? Who’s crazy here? Don’t slander a princess."

I simply rolled my eyes.

"Okay, then, Princess. How about this? As we agreed before, I’ll hide behind you while you protect me."

She giggled and nodded before putting on a heroic front.

"Don’t worry. I won’t let you get hurt."

I chuckled as I moved behind her and watched the fight.

If I used most of my power, I could kill this monster in just a few blows, especially since it was already injured.

However, how could I steal the kill when Luna’s face was practically glowing with excitement?

I could already imagine her expression if I killed it without letting her fight.

Her puffed-out cheeks and pouting face...

I was almost tempted to kill it instantly just to see that adorable expression.

But I held myself back.

The monster got up and steadied itself. Its eyes showed both caution and hatred because it could sense that we were toying with it.

The monster no longer cared about anything else. It rushed toward us, determined to either kill us or die trying.

Luna’s eyes lit up, and her lips curved into a smile as she augmented herself with Moon Energy. Her blade glowed with a frosty aura.

She rushed toward the monster to attack it as well.
