The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 10 The Stygian Lair[2]
I heard rushed footsteps, I assumed those are from the goblins rushing in my location.
Gritting my teeth. I pressed my feet onto the ground and dashed toward the goblin who just screamed.
"You shit!"
I slashed it hard because of annoyance and the goblin was split into two.
After that, about 10 goblins showed up running toward me.
I took out my gun. Shooting a moving target with one hand is stupid. But because I have enough strength to withstand the recoil, I can do it.
So, I rushed to the herd of goblins.
Stab!
I stabbed one of them with my claws of my left hand, looking around, I saw 3 long-range weapon users.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I shot them with the gun on my right hand.
Then I launched a kick to the group of 3 goblins.
Bam!
They went flying, the one who recieved the kick head on died.
After that, I swiftly dashed back while still shooting on the herd.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I casted <Grapple> towards one of the alive goblin and pulled it over to me.
I grabbed its head and placed it on the side of my head.
Phuck-
Then an arrow pierced its head.
A goblin with bow was targeting me from the side.
Bang!
I shot it dead. And threw the goblin corpse in my hand.
I circulated mana through my legs and jumped through obstacles, while doing so I'm pulling the trigger of my gun continuously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thud–
A lot of dull sound of something falling was heard through the room.
I'm not shooting carelessly. Looking at them closely, they have almost the same speed of a moving target with the difficulty of 7.
But the problem is their number. And unlike targets, they're attacking.
I look around and started to make a plan.
"Keuk!"
While doing so, an arrow pierced my back.
It hurts, but it's bearable.
I used <Grapple> magic to move things like crates and rocks to make a one way straight path.
Then I settled at the end of the path I made. With this the goblins will only be able to attack me from the front.
"I'll kill you all, I'm just gonna think that after this. I'll have 50,000 Zeals"
(<F+> monster cores normally worth 1000 Zeals.)
Not long, goblins started to enter the path. I looked at them and pointed my gun to the herd.
"The rewards should be good you damn transcend beings."
I mumbled as I pulled the trigger.
Bang!
I shoot every long-range weapon user I see.
But because of that, goblins that uses close-range weapons got near me.
Using my claws with mana engulfing them.
I slashed towards every goblins near me.
Slash! Slash! Splash!
-Kieek!
-Kieeeek?!
Cries of goblins echoes through the room.
I rotated my body. Drawing an arc with my right foot covered with mana. I did a side whip kick.
Bam!
I hit a goblin trying to ambush me by jumping off from above, it got sent crashing to the wall and died.
I learned a lot of martial arts involving kick. And taekwondo is one of them.
'So they can still attack from the above. Noted!'
"This is kinda fun."
I muttered. My heart is beating fast because of excitement.
[Are you perhaps a masochist?]
The system said.
"No. I'm imagining the goblins as the transcend beings."
I said with a grin.
<Monarch's Presence> unconsciously activated reacting to my feelings.
A heavy majestic aura scattered throughout the area. And made all goblins stop moving.
A terrified expression formed on their faces.
Their breathing became unstable.
It's like they were choking at something.
When I saw that.
Swoosh–
I rushed at the herd of the goblins.
Then with my claws.
With my gun.
And by kicking.
I started slaughtering them one by one.
***
Even subjected to an overwhelming presence, with their lives on the line, the goblins decided to fight back.
Even though their instinct is telling them to surrender to Raven. And their movements were dull because of fear.
The goblins tried their best to kill Raven.
It was then Raven casted a magic to restrain their movements.
He reconstructed <Bind> and made spell called <Wide Binding>. It's the same magic, just in a bigger scale.
A lot of magic rope appeared and restrained most goblins near Raven.
-Kiek?
-Kieek.
At the sudden appearance of the ropes, the goblins looked at Raven.
Raven who is covered in the bloods of goblins, Raven who is slowly killing every goblin he sees with a smile on his face.
The goblins felt fear and their whole body trembled.
They lost their will to fight.
It was then, Raven started massacring the goblins.
***
[Raven's POV]
Bang!
I just shot down the last goblin alive in the room.
"Haa... Haa..."
My breathing was rough having fought for about half an hour with no room to breathe properly.
[To be exact, you fought for 42 minutes and 11 seconds. Aren't you happy? You finished this room under an hour!]
The system then appeared.
"Shut your trap."
[Your fighting sense is really awesome, it seems like you have a talent in fighting. You were born in the wrong era in your previous world, but here, you're talent will shine!... Clap! Clap! Clap!]
The system is still annoying from time to time, I don't know if it's intentional or not. The point is it's annoying.
Ignoring the system, I looked at my body.
I'm bloody and is covered with wounds. I got some arrows stabbed in my body like I was a pin cushion. I also have some cuts. There's even a dagger stabbed in my side, good thing it's not deep.
I started pulling them one by one.
"It fucking stings."
I took out an intermediate life potion from my spacial storage and immediately drank it.
After that, I started collecting monster cores. Goblin's body parts are pretty much useless so I just collected their cores. I also took out all of the corpse I put in my spatial storage earlier, I stored them in my spatial storage to hide their body and not reveal my existence, but in the I still got discovered.
I collected their cores and left the corpses.
I went to the corner of the room and cleaned around, then I rested there. I ate foods to recover some of my stamina.
I transformed into a cat to recover my mana faster.
I'm still not planning on going back yet, after killing all the goblins the room shook and a new path appeared.
It's where the boss room is.
I'm sure of it now.
And I'm planning to fight the boss.
***
After resting for 4 hours, I stood up.
'My wounds are pretty much healed, my body still aches but I'm fine, I guess?'
I recovered some of my mana with the help of the [Ring of Gluttony].
I bought a low stamina potion from the system shop and drank it so my stamina also replenished.
So with that, I entered the path that leads to the boss room.
And not long, I reached the end of the path. I was greeted by a metallic door about 10 meters tall.
I approached the door and opened it.
Creak!
A loud creaking noise was produced when I opened it.
I entered the room.
Boom!
And the door behind me immediately closed trapping me in the room.
"I fucking knew it."
I'm not even surprised anymore, the damn transcend beings did this, I'm sure of it.
It's dark in the room but I can see just fine.
Yuki is already in my spatial storage since my fight with the herd of goblins earlier in the room before.
I looked around. The room is spacious, it's like I'm inside a circular arena.
And in the center, there's a huge humanoid figure standing.
"I put an <F+> rank goblin champion as a boss in this dungeon."
I said with an annoyed expression on my face.
"These damn transcend beings."
What stood in the middle is a 2.5 meters tall gnoll holding a battle axe.
It's the weakest <E-> rank monster.
"Well I kinda expected this."
I already know something will change in the boss.
Fortunately, the gnoll didn't notice me yet.
Gnolls are fast but their strength and regeneration ability are bad.
With that in mind.
Bam-
Swoosh–
I kicked into the ground and dashed toward the gnoll.
I then raised my left palm and aimed it at the gnoll.
"<Bind>"
I casted a magic when I closed the distance between us.
Black mana ropes restrained both of its arms. The gnoll got surprised by the sudden appearance those ropes.
"<Grapple>" ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
With my left palm still lifted, I casted another magic, the claw of <Grapple> shot and clutched to the gnoll's shoulder, then I pulled myself in toward the gnoll, resulting with me immediately reaching the gnoll.
Then with the muzzle of my gun touching the gnoll's right eye.
I pulled the trigger.
Bang!
It all happened too fast so the gnoll was unable to dodge.
-ARGHH!
It shouted and swung the axe it was holding.
I spun to the left side to dodge it. My left fingernails turned into claws and I covered it with mana.
Using the spinning momentun and my training bracelets to make my left hand heavier.
Phuk!
I stabbed the left side of the gnoll's neck. My claws dug pretty deep.
-GRARRRGH!
The gnoll then swung his left hand clenched in a fist, heading toward me.
Using the gnoll's body as a footing, I kicked my feet on it and swiftly dashed back.
Swoosh-
The gnoll's punch missed me.
Then I pulled the trigger while the gun is aimed at its undamaged left eye.
Bang!
-KEUK!... ARRRRGGRAAAAA!!!!
Now both of its eyes are destroyed.
"<Strengthen>"
Ignoring the gnoll's ear deafening screams.
I casted a buff on myself and charged again to the gnoll, toward its lower body.
I passed my gun to my left hand and accumulated mana in my right hand, then forming it into a fist.
I punched it out.
BAM!
Crack!
A loud sound echoed as soon as I hit the gnoll's pelvis.
-AAARHGGH!!!...urghhhgrrrr...
Looks like the gnoll is a male, it let out a pained screams and he stumbled to the ground butt-first.
Not wasting any second, I dashed at the gnoll again. Now my right fingernails turned to claws.
Phuk!
Then I stabbed the gnoll's head, between its eyes.
The gnoll's blood splashed onto me.
My stomach feels sick but my expression didn't change a bit.
Looking down at the gnoll.
-Keuu..uk
It was still alive.
I frowned.
"<Devour>"
With the [Ring of Gluttony] inside its head. I activated the ring's unique skill.
Not long, the gnoll's head became pale and no life can be seen from it.
I dropped my gun.
Slash!
And decapitated its head out of its neck with my claws in my left hand.
I threw its head and stood up.
"Phew..."
'That's an easy 5000 Zeals'
It's a rank higher than me, but it's alone and I'm faster, as long as its attacks doesn't hit me, I'll be fine.
And another reason is that I trained like crazy after my fight with the King Wolf.
'I don't want to be that pathetic anymore...'
I thought looking down at the gnoll's decapitated corpse.
'I would rather fight this huge boss monster again than another herd of armed goblins.'
It was then an item appeared. Descending from the ceiling of the cave.
When a new dungeon appears, the first to kill its boss will surely recieve a reward and a limited reward at that. After that, the next attackers will be left to their luck if they will get some rewards.
Looking at the item that appeared, it's a small transparent item that is in a liquid state.
I caught it with my hands and observed it, then I made the system appraise it.
=====
[Celestria]
-???
=====
This item is actually an artifact, it may seems useless, which is true.
'Right now that is.'
"Hey system, what's up with the transcend fuckers?"
I asked the system.
[The Transcend Beings are happy with your massive growth and singing you praises.]
"I don't give a shit about that, did they gave some rewards?"
I don't care to them, I'm angry to them for making me suffer so I need compensations.
[Oh, they gave you 3000 CP.]
The system said.
"Buy me an <Item Upgrade Scroll> from the system shop."
Not long a scroll appeared. I grabbed it and tore it.
The [Celestria] then shone brightly.
This item will be of course supposed to be for a mid boss villain, this may seems useless to others even after appraising it, because it just says "???" in the description.
Resulting it to be sold in the future in a low price.
But It actually just needs to be upgraded once for it to reveal its usefulness.
Though I kinda understand why no one discovered it because, who will use an item that cost millions of Zeals just for this something useless?
But a villain know its real value in advance because a demon told him, so he used one on it, and that's when the [Celestria] revealed its worth.
After a brief moment, the light died down.
[Upgrade was successful]
"Display the new description of it." f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
[Okay]
A transparent window then appeared.
=====
[Celestria]
-Transforms and reforms based on owner's will. Even its color.
-Hardness or softness can be adjusted by using mana.
-Have a unique skill <Auto Defence>.
<Auto Defence>
-If you detect an attack coming at you, even if you don't intend to, [Celestria] will try to parry or block the attack if the attack contains hostility.
=====
After reading the new description of [Celestria], a smile appeared on my face.
"Now this is what I'm looking for."
Looking at my clothes, it's all tattered up.
I imbued mana to the [Celestria] and imagined a battle suit.
Swooosh-
Then immediately. [Celestria] covered my body and transformed into a black battle suit.
It's not too fancy nor shabby, it's just simple yet cool.
With a satisfied smile. I started to head back to where I came from. This is a one-way dungeon, means that the entrance is also the exit.
***
I reached back to the cave's entrance after traveling for 7 hours, having took the hard paths going in, I used all the easy paths going back.
I didn't forget to draw a map. The paths I took are mostly just with traps or some goblins, so I saved a lot of time going back.
With that, I exited the dungeon on <1:43 P.M> of Friday.
I went back to Zreles City and rented a hotel room.
I took a shower. It took me a hour because I felt dirty because of goblins' bloods.
I then looked at my site [Vespera], it's where my novels are being posted, I didn't check it much as I was busy training. The chapters are automatically being uploaded every 2 days.
Upon checking the site, my eyes widened as I saw something crazy.
=====
[Nightfall]: Hello Mr.Night, thanks for the advance chapters. It made me calm a little, I got pretty annoyed by a certain someone.
[Nightfall donated 150,000 Zeals.]
[Nightfall]: Here's a little money, keep it up.
=====
It's the same person who donated last time but now they're using a nickname.
But what caught my attention is...
"They called 150,000 Zeals, a 'little money'?"
Looks like I caught a super big fish.
A small laugh escaped my mouth, unable to contain the joy I'm feeling.
It was sent on Tuesday at <11:47 P.M>.
"Tuesday?"
Something is bothering me, but I can't pinpoint it.
"Well, whatever."
Because I can't figure out what's that, I didn't bother anymore.
I sent Nighfall a lot of advance chapters.
=====
[Night]: Thanks for the donation and support, here are some advance chapters :>
=====
"With this much money, my plan will be forwarded by a lot."
I checked my credit account.
=====
<Balance>
[258,595] Zeals
=====
I smiled. I rested for a while and rushed to the Zreles' City Hall.
"To have a lot of freedom, I need a lot of money."
