Chapter 65 - Fighting the Undead Cyclops
[Quest Triggered!]
[Boss Battle]: Defeat the boss and conquer the dungeon. Rewards: 5,000 exp, 2 free attribute points, and 1 skill point.
The rewards of this quest were higher than the previous quest he did in the dungeon. It was because the level of this dungeon wasn't entirely a low-level dungeon. It's level hover between the low-level and mid-level dungeons.
"Hmm... I will get another skill points that's what matters." Souta smiled.
...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A loud sound echoed in the whole room as Yuko exchanged blows with the Undead Cyclops.
Yuko was getting pushed back by the power of the Undead Cyclops when Bryan appeared above her and shot a powerful punch at the enemy.
[Blazing Strike]!!
Bryan's flaming fist hit the face of the Undead Cyclops. The undead was pushed back a little bit by his punch.
Swoosh!!
The undead waved its hand towards Bryan but Yuko blocked it for him.
Bang!
"Thanks, Yuko!" Bryan smiled and he casted [Lightning Boots] and [Lightning Edge] spell.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
Fred moved behind the undead and executed his own combat arts.
[Rippling Slash]!!
White energy coated his sword before he swung it at the back of the Undead Cyclops.
Putchi!
A large cut appeared on the back of the undead. The undead felt the power of the slash, so it turned around and shot a kick towards Fred.
Fred noticed it, so he quickly reacted by moving his body sideways. He avoided the kick and launched a counter-attack.
[Rippling Slash]!!
He slashed the feet of the Undead Cyclops.
Putchi!
Suddenly, the Undead Cyclops roared in a very loud voice. The roar shook the entire area.
Roar!!
Bryan and Fred covered their ears as both of them took a step back.
"Damn, it's crazy strong!" Bryan looked at the Undead Cyclops with eagerness in his eyes. "Let me try it for a second."
Souta looked at Bryan when he heard those words. He nodded and called Yuko. "Stay back, let Bryan hold the undead for a while."
"Are you sure?" Fred went beside Souta and asked.
Souta just nodded his head while looking at the Undead Cyclops.
The Undead Cyclops started to emitted strange black energy. It was color black and everyone could see the energy with their own eyes. It then gathered the energy in its eye.
Ohm!
It formed a ball of black energy and it was getting stronger every second.
Boom!
The black energy shot a beam towards them.
...
"Get down!" Souta said as he pushed Fred to avoid the black beam at all costs.
Bryan also jumped away to dodge the beam.
Lumilia took Jusmin and Cl.u.s.ter with her.
Boom!!
A loud explosion that shook the entire room occurred. Thick smoke and dust covered the area of the explosion. Some of the crystals on the ceiling started to fall down. It looks like the entire place was going to crumble down.
Souta knew that this place wasn't going to crumble with just one attack of that level. This place was built to hold the boss here, so it could even take the strongest blow the boss could give.
"What power!" Fred exclaimed looking at the explosion.
[Water Barrier]!!
Lumilia casted a barrier to protect Cl.u.s.ter and Jusmin from the falling debris.
"Damn, what a strong one!" Bryan charged towards the Undead Cyclops without hesitation. He jumped in the air and aimed his palm on the undead.
[Thunder Shock]!!
[Lightning Ground]!!
[Glowing Flame]!!
Bryan casted his attacking spell at the Undead Cyclops. Flames and Lightning appeared one after another and it looks like it was going to devour the undead.
The Undead Cyclops ignored the damage it took and attack Bryan. It launched a barrage of punches towards him.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
Bryan swiftly avoided all the punches of the undead with his speed. He clenched his fist tightly and he jumped towards the face of the undead.
Swoosh!
Bryan smirked and casted a powerful spell [Burst Flame].
Boom!!
...
"Whoa! That packs a lot of power!" Souta exclaimed looking at Bryan's show of power. To think that Bryan holds this much power was something he didn't expect. Souta would say that Bryan with mana and spell was five times stronger than the Bryan in the tournament.
Souta shook his head and said, "But that's enough now, let's go!" He patted Yuko and let her join the fight.
Suddenly, Lumilia shouted from behind.
"Back down!!"
Bryan heard her voice so he took a distance from the Undead Cyclops.
Yuko who just joined the fight was forced to back down.
[Water Serpent]!!
A huge serpent made of water formed behind Lumilia. Lumilia pointed her fingers at the Undead Cyclops and she controlled the serpent to attack the undead.
Swoosh!!
The serpent speed was high as it quickly arrived before the undead. The serpent moved above before it got down and clashed on the face of the undead.
Boom!!
"Follow up! [Water Bomb]! [Water Blade]!"
Lumilia showed her powerful spells. The power of her spell could be compared to Bryan's spell.
She then crouched down and placed both of her palms on the ground.
[Greater Ice Spike]!!
Spike made of ice burst out of the ground. The area of effect of this skill could cover the whole space of this room, but she didn't do it because she had her comrades here.
The spike pierced the huge body of the Undead Cyclops.
"Whoa! Your crazy strong too, class rep!" Bryan exclaimed in a loud voice.
Boom!!
Suddenly, the spikes were shattered like a fragile glass.
All of them focused their sight on the Undead Cyclops. The undead was releasing a very powerful aura right now. The aura caused ripples in the air.
The Undead Cyclops' body expanded and it became seven meters tall. Its eye turned red in color and red veins started to pop up around its body.
"What's that?" Jusmin looked at the Undead Cyclops. She was worried about the one who's fighting such a monster.
"It still have so much power!" Fred exclaimed as he covered his eyes with his hand.
"Tch! A good one!" Bryan clicked his tongue when he saw that the Undead Cyclops still holds a power they couldn't expect.
Lumilia just looked at the undead as she bit her lower lips.
Souta knew what's that. It's the [Berserk Mode] skill of the Undead Cyclops. It will activate when its health goes down to one fourth.
"It's our time, Yuko!" Souta shouted and he waved his sword.
Roar!
Yuko roared and charged towards the Undead Cyclops in response to his words.
Souta followed behind Yuko and he used [Dash] to increase his speed. He also used [Agility Boost] and[Strength Boost] on himself.
Swoosh!!
He jumped above Yuko and looked at the Undead Cyclops. He aimed his sword at the undead and executed [Stab] consecutively.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Undead Cyclops felt the power of his attack, so it turned its attention on him. It swung its huge arm towards him.
Souta smirked as he gripped his sword tightly. He then executed the skill of the [Vajra Sword Saya].
[Cross Moon]!!
The red light of the Vajra Sword and the huge hand of the Undead Cyclops collided.
Boom!!
Blood burst out of the hand of the undead. The flesh of its hand slowly crumbled under the power of the Vajra Sword.
Souta then twisted his body in the air and swung his sword.
Putchi!
The huge hand of the Undead Cyclops fell down on the ground with a loud "thud" sound.
At this time, Yuko arrived in front of the undead. She increased her speed and tackled the huge undead in front of her.
Bang!
She then moved both of her hands and smashed the Undead Cyclops.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yuko saw that her attack wasn't doing any damage to the undead, so she opened her mouth and a ball of fire formed.
[Burning Shout]!!
A flame swept out in the whole area and it almost hit Souta.
Souta was shocked when he saw this. It was his first time seeing Yuko used her trait skill.
He smiled and said, "Good girl, Yuko! Keep it up!"
After a few moments, Yuko stopped her trait skill.
Souta saw the area was burned and the Undead Cyclops was still moving. Although it was moving, Souta knew that it would fall anytime.
He dashed towards it and waved his sword like a madman.
Slice!
Slash!
He only stopped when he heard a sound in his mind.

"It's done," Souta said as the Undead Cyclops fell in the ground. He checked the system first before he went up to the tall rock.
He picked up the Rotten Venomous Green Apple and placed it inside a container.
"That's mission complete," Bryan said as he walked towards Souta.
"Yeah, thanks." Souta nodded and thanked him. He packed the container inside his bag.
"I hope you don't forget what you promise to young miss," Fred said at the side.
"Don't worry, I will help you." Souta grinned at him. He wouldn't abandon a mission that will give him 5 skill points.
