BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - 76: Three Orbs
Chapter 76 - 76: Three Orbs
"His skin is too hard! I need to attack the weaknesses! Raston! Analyze the Armored Gorillas and tell me the weakest part of their body!" Saele called out as he looked back towards one of his men.
The blue-haired Sorcerer called Raston was a Warlock who had two powers. One of which happened to be the B-Rank physical ability that temporarily enhanced his eyes, making them capable of seeing the weakest part of the opponent’s body.
If he only had that power, he would be a warrior Variant; however, the presence of his B-Rank elemental power of confusion made him a Warlock Variant.
His elemental power made him capable of confusing the enemy into attacking their friends. It was an overpowered ability that would have made him a mighty warlock; however, it came with a powerful limitation as well, making it so that his ability could only be used once every minute and its effects only lasted for a second, which was not enough for the enemy to attack another enemy.
Even though it was limited, making its best use impossible, it was still enough for saving lives by confusing the enemies for a second.
Raston looked towards the Armored Gorilla, who was raising his right leg above the ground. His eyes changed color and turned green as he observed the beast.
"Aim for the spot just under his chin!" Raston told Saele, who seemed to understand what Raston meant.
"So the top of his neck is the least secure!" Saele lamented as he gazed at the neck of the Giant Gorilla, aiming.
He was just about to shoot out when the Giant Armored Gorilla finally smashed its right foot on the ground.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the entire ground within a range of five hundred meters started shaking.
....
Lucifer was lying on the ground. He had crashed from the height after being injured by the Chimera Eagles. He happened to land in the middle of the bodies of the beasts that he had killed.
The rest of the beasts started getting closer to him.
The first Dungeon Dweller to get close to Lucifer happened to be the tree Monster. The seven-foot-tall Monster reached out its wooden trunk-like hand towards Lucifer, which wrapped around his feet.
Vines started coming out of the hands of the Tree Monsters, who were holding Lucifer’s legs.
The vines wrapped around Lucifer’s feet and continued spreading out, covering more and more of his body.
Small micro-sized spikes started coming out of the Vines that penetrated Lucifer’s skin and started sucking his blood like it was thirsty for his blood for eternity.
Lucifer was still healing. He could move. However, he decided against it, letting his body heal, but as he felt the wines sucking his blood, he struggled to sit up.
Pushing his body upwards, he sat without touching the ground.
His body still had see-through holes all around it. His face had also gone pale, but he didn’t cry in pain.
Weakly, he reached out his right hand and placed it around the vine that had wrapped around his legs.
"You want to make me your food? Let me do the same! Come, become my strength," Lucifer declared weakly as he was finding it painful to speak.
As his fingers touched the vines of the Tree Monster, the Tree Monster roared in pain as if it was dying.
Its wines had become pale yellow from green. The small needles that were inside the body of Lucifer also started dying down, turning into nutrition for Lucifer.
Watching the tree monster disintegrate, a smile formed on Lucifer’s face.
"I was right. This Decay helps me!" Lucifer muttered, seeing his wounds healing even faster now.
The other Dungeon dwellers heard the screech of the Tree Monster, who had turned to dust that flew away.
The Monsters started getting restless after seeing such a painful death, but most of them had low intellect, which made them unable to understand that what they were feeling was called fear... fear of death.
In this restless feeling, one of the monsters started flying straight towards Lucifer.
The Monster was a Three-Orbed Monster that had three orbs stuck together. It didn’t have a face or mouth, so it wasn’t easy to understand how he saw and heard things; Lucifer didn’t care.
Reaching out his hand, Lucifer decided to disintegrate the Orb Monster to help his healing; however, he soon realized how wrong he was. He hadn’t counted for the strange ability of the Three-orbed Monster.
As soon as the Three-orbed Monster touched Lucifer’s hand, a fiery explosion took place. Before Lucifer could understand anything, he was caught in the blast.
His face and skin burned in the fiery explosion of the flames while his body was tossed back. The impact was so powerful; it threw Lucifer a hundred meters back. Even though it injured him, it also helped him get out from the crowd of beasts as he crashed outside the crowd.
"Ahh," Lucifer sat up as he held his chest.
His hair was again burnt along with his face; however, he was still able to see. His body was also seriously burnt.
His clothes were already ruined in blood and holes, but now they were in even worse condition because of the flames.
Looking towards the flames, he saw the Orb Monster again appearing; however, the Orb Monster that had clashed with him had two orbs now instead of the three he did before.
....
"Hah, that idiot allowed the orb Monster to touch him! This stupid don’t even know about one of the most dangerous Monsters in a level one dungeon. Even newbie dungeon hunters are taught about this Monster as the first thing!"
" That kid didn’t even know that each of its heads is like a bomb that explodes at a touch. The three orbs stuck together are like three bombs that can cause three explosions, each at a touch," the Red Guild Member, Conner, who was standing in the back watching Lucifer, lamented as he shook his head as if he was embarrassed by Lucifer’s lack of knowledge.
Since his only ability was to establish Mind Sync between all Red Guild Members present there, he wasn’t fighting. He didn’t have the ability either. Instead, he was watching both the fights going on.
That’s when the Armored Gorilla’s feet smashed on the ground, bringing what seemed like an earthquake within a specific range.
The earthquake made the Red Guild members lose their balance. Even half the dungeon monsters were affected by the earthquake. Saele, who had just found out the Armored Gorilla’s weakness, was about to fire his Water Bullets to kill the Armored Gorilla when he lost his balance.
His aim was disturbed, and the barrage of bullets that were about to hit the Armored Gorilla struck the Skeleton soldiers, destroying their bodies.
After regaining his balance, he again decided to aim; however, it seemed too late.
The Armored Gorilla was too close to him, and his fist was coming towards Saele’s face to crush him.
Finding it too late, Saele closed his eyes as if giving up. The death he was expecting didn’t come, though.
