Chapter 25: Go to dungeons to increase rank [3]

Violet stood at the edge of the crater, watching Erik as he pulled the mana stones from the lifeless goblins that were scattered all over the place.

Crunch!

Suddenly, a cracking sound of wood breaking echoed behind her, making her turn toward the source of the sound. Her eyes widened as she encountered a huge figure in front of her, holding a club aloft.

"Shit!"

With supernatural reaction speed, Violet managed to quickly create a small ice shield in front of her to block the attack.

Boom!

There was a small explosion as the club collided with the small ice shield Violet had managed to form in that short period.

Due to the impact of the sudden attack, Violet was thrown to the bottom of the crater, tumbling across the ground.

Erik, who recognized the mana stones, turned quickly upon hearing the explosion and turned his attention to the sound. He saw Violet spiraling down toward where he was. At the edge of the crater, he found a monster about ten feet tall, holding a club in his hand.

"So this is the boss monster," Erik deduced as he noticed the pressure emanating from it. It was evident that this monster was much more formidable than the ones they had defeated moments ago, but...

'This monster feels different...'

As he watched the monster closely, Erik got the feeling that something didn't add up. He didn't know exactly what it was, but his instincts were clearly telling him that this was no ordinary monster. Unable to decipher why he felt this way, he focused all his attention on its eyes...

Soon after, his vision turned completely black and white. When he locked his gaze on the monster, Erik's expression completely changed...

"What the hell is this!"

Erik failed to understand what he was seeing. It was the first time he had encountered something like this, not even in the hospital when his eyes first changed.

What he was seeing was the 'soul' of the monster, an entity that seemed to have multiple mouths and was twisting in on itself, as if it was trying to devour itself.

Sweat began to bead on Erik's forehead as he watched the grotesque 'soul' of that monster. With every moment he looked at it, it became more twisted. It was the first time he had experienced something like this and he had no idea what to do.

"Could it be that the dungeon has undergone some kind of change?" wondered Erik, contemplating the grotesque 'soul' of the monstrous creature at the edge of the crater.

"Why did you freeze?" Violet asked after getting up from the ground.

Observing how Erik was fixing his gaze on the monster at the edge of the crater, emanating a clearly murderous intent.

Erik, who was engrossed in the monster, upon hearing Violet's voice, snapped back to reality. Without taking his eyes off the monster, he asked:

"Is that the boss of the monsters?"

"Yes, it is the boss of this dungeon, a Hobgoblin," Violet replied, also focusing her attention on the monster, whose appearance was now fully revealed.

It had red skin, with veins protruding from its head and arms, and an expression of pure hatred as it beheld its home completely devastated and its people lying dead everywhere. New novel chapters are published on

"Why is his skin red...?" muttered Violet, staring at the Hobgoblin, whose appearance was completely different from what they used to look like, which was green.

"Did you say something?"

"What I said is that this monster is not normal," Violet said as she prepared to face the Hobgoblin.

Erik wore a huge grin as he saw that the monster was still standing after the impact of his End Energy-impregnated spear.

[Ice Whirlwind]

Erik, with a big grin, lunged forward and executed a downward lunge.

Despite the pain he felt, the hobgoblin managed to react and block the attack with his magic power-imbued club, flashing a grin as he parried Erik's attack.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~"

Erik started laughing as he saw the hobgoblin's expression as he blocked his attack. With a fluid motion, he spun on himself to change direction.

Taking advantage of the turn, Erik aimed a return lunge towards the hobgoblin. However, the hobgoblin intercepted the spear again with his club.

Erik frowned as his attack was again blocked. He did not understand how the hobgoblin was blocking all his attacks.

But before he could attack again, the hobgoblin suddenly fell to the ground. It seemed that the End Energy had penetrated his body and was wreaking havoc internally, as it was a completely destructive energy to anyone who came in direct contact with it, other than Erik.

"Kiieekkieek!!!"

"I was shocked for a moment, seeing his soul and how it reacted to my attacks..."

[Boss Monster - Rank D, 1 time: Complete (1/1)]

Tti-ring

[You have defeated a Rank D monster]

[You have gained experience]

[Your level has increased by one]

[Your stats have increased]

"Well, now all that's left is to get out of the dungeon to complete the mission."

Erik headed towards where Violet was standing, who was watching him from afar, sweat pouring down her forehead due to the run she made to enter the forest.

"You really defeated him so easily?", Violet spoke as she looked at the hobgoblin's lifeless body.

"Well, it wasn't as easy as you saw, he had an incredible reaction, and he managed to respond to all of my attacks if he hadn't connected an attack, we would most likely still be in combat," said Erik, still surprised at how the hobgoblin had reacted to each of his onslaughts.

'But I still can't believe it was that easy. Could it be that everything I saw was a false alarm?'

Erik felt that he still wasn't completely done with that monster, but looking at the notification window, he understood that he was done with the hobgoblin.

'Well, whatever.'

"Let's go, to enter another dungeon," Erik said giving the hobgoblin's lifeless body one last look.

The two headed towards the exit of the dungeon, ready to embark on another dungeon. However, as they walked away, they felt a shudder that made them shrug their shoulders.

"What the hell was that?" they exclaimed in unison.

Violet and Erik quickly turned their faces and watched as the hobgoblin's body began to cover itself with a completely black 'Something'.
