Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 29: The Dungeon Boss!

Alicia held the sword in her left hand and looking at her right palm, she wondered. 'Can I do that too?'

Checking her surroundings once again Alicia, focused on the Ice element and the mana inside her body, trying to bend it into a shape of a sword.

As it was her first time doing this, she had some trouble controlling the mana output. Nonetheless, she succeeded. A crude bluish-white sword made of ice appeared on her right palm. Its design wasn't noteworthy, but it was still remarkable.

In her excitement, she rushed toward the zombie horde that Luis was fighting and used her Ice Sword to fight them. Chopping them was a bit difficult at first, but with some movements, she managed to get a hold of it.

*Chop*

*Swish*

"Nice sword you got there, Alicia." Luis complimented her while fighting the zombies.

"Same goes for you." Alicia smiled back, looking at his Lightning Spear.

***

It didn't take long before they finally finished the zombie horde. Looking at the sea of zombie corpses, Luis couldn't help but mutter, "It's going to stink a lot."

Alicia agreed with him. The smell was disgusting. She said, "Let's move before more zombies come out."

Luis agreed with her as they moved on deeper into the cemetery. On their way, they came across a few zombies, which they dealt with swiftly.

At the center of the cemetery, they came across a large gate. The articulately designed gate made them wonder. 'Is this the boss' room?'

At this moment, Lumine appeared beside them.

"Wow, Mom! You scared me!" Luis gasped.

Alicia also looked at Lumine with a surprised expression.

Lumine pouted in dissatisfaction, "How can you be afraid of your beautiful Mom?"

Luis' mouth twitched, as he explained while sighing, "You know very well, I didn't mean it like that."

Lumine grinned and said, "Anyway, until now you guys did a wonderful job. Now that you are going to fight the G-rank dungeon, boss. Don't let your guard down, okay?"

They nodded in unison.

Taking some rest and recovering their mana. They finally entered the boss' room. The room wasn't big and in front of them stood a skeleton wearing armor with a sword in his hand.

"Is that the boss?" Luis mumbled, his hands trembling in excitement.

'I remember seeing this monster in the Holy Dragon Knight 2. Only after defeating this monster does the main story of the second game starts.'

'In the second game, this was the first hurdle for players. The protagonist had holy magic with him so it wasn't much difficult. Let's see how we deal with it.'

"Alicia, are you ready?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go then." With those words, Luis created a Thunder Javelin using 2 percent of his mana and launched it straight at the Skeleton Knight.

Soaring through the air, the Thunder Javelin was about to strike the still Skeleton Knight. When suddenly.

*Clang*

*Zzzt*

The Skeleton Knight suddenly moved and directly cut the attack in half with his sword.

Then the next moment, it moved sideways and dodged the shards of ice that were launched from his blind spot.

The moment Luis used his Thunder Javelin, Alicia also launched Ice shards right behind it. Though the trick didn't work on the Skeleton Knight. By this time, Luis was already close to it and launched a heavy strike with mana coating his fists, and the attack was pretty effective.

*Boom*

"Don't let it have a chance, Alicia," Luis shouted and threw Thunder Javelin at him. He also jumped right after throwing a heavy barrage of his fists at the enemy. Alicia took out her sword from before while launching her Ice shards.

By the time the Skeleton Knight got stable. A good amount of damage was already done.

'I have to say, these dungeons, boss monsters, have high endurance and are tricky to deal with. It's a good thing I remember some of his combos and didn't give him a chance to attack first.'

Alicia also dealt a lot of sword strikes, with her sword coated in mana.

*Swish*

*Swish*

*Clang*

The Skeleton Knight raised his sword to block Alicia's sword. It was enraged.

*Screech*

An ear-piercing screech echoed in the surroundings. Shutting his ears from the painful screech, Luis wondered. 'How can a skeleton make screeching sounds?'

But before he could sort out his thoughts, he heard loud barking sounds.

*Sigh* Luis sighed. 'No way. Did it really summon them? Just a bit more and we could have finished him.'

*Grrr*

*Grrr*

The unique skill of Skeleton Knight. Skeleton dogs summon. Six moving endoskeletons arrived, growling.

With amazing speed, they attacked Luis and Alicia.

Luis immediately used his new spell, Lightning Spear, and thrust it hard on the skeleton dog's jaw.

*Clang*

Alicia used her sword to block the skeleton dog's bite. Seeing her preoccupied, the other skeleton dogs didn't waste any chance and attacked her.

Alicia gritted her teeth and shouted, "Ice sword." The Mana inside her swirled and four swords made of Ice floated in the air. With a wave of her hand, they were launched at an extreme pace, directly striking their skulls. She pushed back the Skeleton dog in front of her and slashed her sword, killing it.

She defeated them, but her legs wobbled up a little and became unsteady because of the sudden use of so much mana.

The Skeleton Knight saw the chance and attacked Alicia from her blind spot. Alicia wasn't ready to receive that sudden attack. She used her sword to block the attack, but it wasn't steady.

'Uh, it will hurt a bit.' She braced herself to receive the attack and then fight the monster. But the impact never came.

*Clang*

She heard a clanging sound and was surprised to see Luis appear in front of her and block the attack for her.

'What? When?' Alicia couldn't believe it. She didn't even close her eyes, but Luis suddenly appeared in front of her.

She couldn't even catch his movement. 'How is that possible?' She questioned inwardly. Their strength wasn't far apart, so, How?

Unaware of Alicia's inner thoughts. Luis smirked. He slammed his Lightning Spear broken, pushing the monster's sword away, and shouted, "This is your end!"

[Thunder Javelin]

He put 50 percent of his mana into that spell and used the Thunder Javelin from a closer range.

The Skeleton Knight felt the threat from that spell. It tried to dodge it. But was too late. Luis already launched that spell, destroying the Knight's armor and his skeletal body, which flew far away together with the spell.

*Kaboom*

-And blasted in smithereens.
