Chapter 150 The Final Fight (Part 1)
“Captain, only two of us are left. What should we do?” Alex came to Ron and asked.
“We move forward and finish clearing this floor,” Ron replied, his expression indifferent as he started walking towards the boss room without any care for the world.
“What?” Alex stood there in shock as he looked at Ron’s figure disappearing further away, “Just what did I do to deserve this,” He muttered and started following Ron.
Aside from Alex, another student also followed Ron. This student was the only second-year student on the team and had been following Ron faithfully all this time.
Not only that, but the student had also supported all of Ron’s decisions and if someone didn’t know any better, they might even mistake the student for Ron’s lackey.
“I guess his family hired the guy,” Alex thought as he cursed his luck for the umpteenth time.
Doing so, he eventually walked to the boss’s room. Taking a glance, he saw a huge door with the same engravings as the previous floors. However, there was one thing different and that was the aura coming off from the boss’s room.
Even when standing meters away from the door, Alex could feel the strong aura and the thick stench of blood from within the room.
The aura was such that it chilled Alex’s bones to the point that he started shivering all of a sudden.
Still, persisting with his willpower; Alex took steps to the boss room as he headed to fight his final fight. After all, Alex wasn’t conceited enough to think that he could win against the boss when fighting with only two more people on the team.
Therefore, going forward; Alex got ready as he joined the others to fight the dungeon boss on the ninth floor.
Meanwhile,
Tenth Floor,
Ray stood straight, his eyes peering into the distance as he looked deep into the corridor.
“Did you find anything?” He asked.
“Traps and guards,” Aurora replied, using Analysis to scan the whole surroundings.
“How many guards,” Ray asked in return as he kept on looking into the hallway.
“A total of two guards standing in front of the entrance to the boss room. Also, 3 guards each in the corners waiting to ambush,” Aurora replied as she added, “Also, there are more than a dozen hidden curses in form of traps. Activate one and you are gone as the traps are stronger and much trickier than before,”
“Hmm.. Could you point out the safe path that is without any traps?” Scratching his chin in thought, Ray asked as a plan formed in his mind.
“Give me a minute,” Aurora replied as suddenly, Ray’s body emitted a huge burst of spirit energy. The spirit energy spread out like a shockwave as Aurora used it scan the surrounding area.
“Okay, done. Follow this path and you will be safe from all the traps. Though remember that you miss one step and a trap could be triggered as the traps are very congested and the safe path is very barrow,” She cautioned.
“Okay,” Nodding in acknowledgment, Ray turned around as he used the special mind transference technique to share the map with everyone’s minds.
Calling this technique ‘Mind Link’, Ray spoke,
“I have shared a map with you all using Mind Link. This map would allow you to avoid all the traps and safely reach the other side of the hallway. However, the danger doesn’t end there as multiple goblins guards are waiting for us in the ambush,” Ray spoke and paused, giving everyone enough time to check the map.
As everyone checked the map and turned their attention back to him, Ray spoke, “There are two guards guarding the main door to the boss room and three more groups waiting in ambush. Although the guards wouldn’t be much stronger, you all have to be careful while fighting against them as one wrong step and you might trigger a trap,”
“Also, remember; the traps are very deadly as they are basically hidden curses that could end you within minutes. Therefore, be careful and help each other. Also, the last boss would be someone hard to defeat. Hence, give it your all and don’t get hurt doing unnecessary stuff that might cause even more damage,” Saying that, Ray put his hands on his waist as he looked into each of their eyes.
Looking at them like that, Ray observed everyone’s emotions as he noticed that not a single one of them was scared. Even if they were, their resolution to fight was so great that it overcame their fear and made them fight for their goal.
“I guess Aurora’s technique really worked,” He thought as he turned around and spoke, “Okay, follow the map I shared with you and follow me to the final boss,” Saying that, he started walking as he strides towards the boss room.
On the other hand, everyone looked at Ray as they all nodded to each other and followed behind him.
Right now, each one of them had a different thought in their mind, someone was thinking of their family while the other was just planning out what to do next.
In the end, all of these 16-year-olds were scared, they knew that they might get severely wounded and might as well lose their lives. But they suppressed this fear as they knew, that what was to come in the future, wouldn’t wait for them to grow up and would gobble them up if they were weak.
Therefore, for the sake of their families, for the sake of their ideals, for the sake of themselves; they all courageously stepped forward as they followed Ray on their first step towards getting ready for what was to come in the near future.
Meanwhile,
As the team headed towards the boss room, a certain goblin sat on a throne as she watched the events unfold. She watched as Ray used his aura and broke the spell she cast on that cute little girl.
She looked as Ray had lectured his teammates and told them about what to expect. She even looked as everyone showed their conviction and walked forward as they marched towards her; all so that they could defeat her and return back; Victorious.
“Good! Come to me, my lambs. For you, all will be slaughtered and your blood will be used to welcome me into the next realm. Where I will shed off the limits of a mortal and finally ascend onto the path of Godhood,” The female goblin said, her expression haughty as she smiled pridefully.
This female goblin was the main boss of the dungeon and she had been observing Ray ever since. It was also she who had controlled the laws of the dungeon and teleported Ray and the others straight to the tenth floor.
She did all this to increase the rate of her evolution as she had an idea of the dean’s plan to invade the dungeon and clear her off before it happened.
Therefore, she had decided to use Ray and his teammates as an energy source to break into the next realm and become stronger so she could control the laws of the dungeon to restrict the dean from invading it with full force.
While she sat on her throne, Ray and the others finally reached the door as they had avoided the traps.
In front of them, stood a total of eleven goblins. The goblins emitted the aura of Pseudo-Perfect -Tier beasts as they all had a different weapon in their hands.
“Everyone! Be ready. Don’t hold back and give it your all. Decimate these bastards so we could get back home,” Ray shouted at the top of his lungs as he decided to go all out.
Saying all that, Ray churned all of his energy as he equipped the Void Gauntlets and Void Bracers. His arms got covered in greyish-black weapons as an oppressive aura engulfed the area around him.𝓞𝗏𝓁xt.𝕔𝓞𝓜
“Go to hell!!” Shouting loudly, he circulated his mana as his hands got covered in arcs of lightning. Then, kicking the ground; he jumped high in the air and punched straight down.
Punching on the ground, a web of lightning spread all over as electrical sparks covered the whole area. With the surroundings turning into a battlefield, Ray smirked lightly as the elements changed.
The lightning turned into the fire as a fiery heat wave spread everywhere. With that, Ray pumped in more mana.
Doing so, the ground became scorched as it caused damage as an AOE attack.
While Ray did this, Sirius transformed into his wolf form while Noah room out his spirit needles. Elina started throwing her curses while Tim took out his shield and did his job as the tank.
Aella and Emma supported from behind as one fired arrows and the other used her aura ability to disorient the goblin’s senses. As for Kid, he used his ice ability to freeze the ground as he trapped the goblins and hurled icicles at them.
With that, the whole team worked in tandem as they attacked the goblins and slowly chipped off their health points.
