Chapter 138 Tower Exploration (3)
The massive two-headed dog roared with so much force the pillars shook, and Damian, who was far away on the other side of the room, thought about returning.
'But this is the only path I can take... fuck.'
After Damian activated the trap, leading him and the girls to be apart, there was no other way for him to take him, and the only path led to that enormous beast dog who looked like it could easily rip him apart.
It started moving toward him, and despite its slower-looking movements, the length of its legs compensated, meaning one stride covered a long distance!
'I have no other option but try to win against this thing.'
So, Damian prepared himself by creating multiple weapons using his Slime Ring, all of which were big ones, like two-handed swords, spears, or hammers. That felt like the best way to hurt a gigantic beast like that dog.
The beast grew closer and closer to Damian, who had sweat dripping from his forehead and could not stop moving the fingers of his hands. A tense atmosphere, and although the moment the dog was far and the moment it was close to Damian lasted only three seconds, it felt like an eternity to him!
He looked up and saw a colossal paw that could fit more than 10 Damians beneath it coming straight to him with a single goal: turn him into a meat pulp. No one would be stupid enough to try to block that. At least Damian was not, so he activated his Telekineses at full force, flying away from the spot, avoiding the attack.
Bang
A loud sound echoed the moment the dog's paw hit the ground, and the force of it sent a wind that almost made Damian fall from the sky, 'that's powerful.'
Dodging the attack by flying and not trying to block it was the right move. Damian sighed in relief after that, but there was no time to lose. He instantly prepared his counter-strike, using his mind to control all the weapons he had previously built using his Slime Ring, attacking the dog.
The best way to approach it was by sending the weapons to the weak spots of the dog. Damian had no idea what weak spots that thing had, but the eyes had to be one, so that's where he aimed his spears!
It flew at high speed, flying directly toward the dog's eye. Damian watched it afar, praying it would work, 'hit, hit, hit.'
But as the spears almost hit the eye, the dog closed its eyelids, blocking and breaking them.
'Fuck.' Damian cursed.
He tried to think of ways not to let the dog close its eyelids, but that did not seem possible, and the only way around it was to attack with something powerful enough that the eyelids were incapable of blocking, but what exactly?
The idea was simple, yet Damian felt he had no other powerful attack, at least not something that worked on something as huge as that dog.
'Telekineses, Mind Control... Necromancy Spells?'
Necromancy Spells were the only things he could think of, and he had been practicing them a lot lately, as there wasn't much to do anyway. So, Damian analyzed the boss area from the sky, noticing a pile of skeletons lying on the ground, presumably the remains of the dog's dinner.
'It will do!'
Damian flew toward the skeletons, using the pillars to fly like a needle, going from side to side, making it harder for the dog to hit or even reach him! Then, in mid-air, Damian used his slime ring to create a clone of himself, making it fly toward the other side of the room like a decoy.
The beast was not intelligent. That was one of Damian's advantages; he intended to use it fully. It worked because the dog soon followed the slime copy, mainly after Damian used his invisibility cloak to vanish in thin air.
While the beast was busy chasing a clone, Damian focused on casting a new spell he had practiced alongside the Bone Spear, Minor Bone Dragon!
It was one of the strongest summonses he could learn with that Necromancy volume he had, and despite having yet to test it in combat, Damian had high hopes for it.
The downside of the spell was its long casting time, Damian was also not versatile in casting it, meaning it took longer than it should have.
'Slime me, hold on!'
Damian's clone flew around, using the pillars to his advantage just like before, yet, it only lasted two minutes before the dog breathed fire on him, turning it into nothing.
After that, the dog turned around, seeing Damian near the pile of bones. It couldn't quite understand because the dog believed he had killed Damian a few seconds ago, yet he was there again.
It roared, dashing toward Damian again, and this time, more furious after realizing it had been tricked by that tiny human.
'Come on, come on!'
Damian channeled the spell and looked back occasionally, seeing the dog get closer and closer to him. He was nervous, afraid that it would not be enough for him to finish the spell, already thinking of leaving that place before the dog reached him, but it worked!
The pile of bones started to move, merging with one another, creating a massive bone dragon! It was not as big as the dog, but around 70% of the size. That was still massive, and Damian knew size was not the only thing that mattered.
Blue energy surrounded the dragon, increasing its hardiness and making it sturdier than the ordinary pile of bones. Damian felt his power diminish after using the spell because of the mana he had to use, which was still an energy Damian had to master.
The dragon flew toward the dog, and the two clashed, using their paws to attack one another! It was an astronomical exchange of blows, and the entire room shook when the two fought.
At that moment, Damian realized the room had more than one door, one in front, the same one Damian used to enter, and two more, one on each side of the room.
The door on the right opened, and a group entered the room, staring at the fight before their eyes.
