Chapter 429 Displaying Otherworldly Powers!
As the walls of the labyrinth shattered apart, a barrage of arrows and spikes was unleashed towards the two intruders. The deadly rain threatened to put an end to their quest.
Delilah's heart was shaken when she saw the deadly assault of arrows and spikes raining down on her and Roy, but an unwavering determination burned within her, making her move forward with unwavering steps. She refused to let her anxiety get the better of her. She was not about to back down, not now, not ever. Despite the fact that it looked suicidal, she ran after Roy, knowing deep down in her heart that he would keep her safe no matter what.
She could see the danger was closing in on her from all sides, but she refused to give in to the fear that threatened to paralyze her. Instead, she channeled all her energy into her pursuit, keeping up with the man she loved, her feet pounding against the pavement with a steady rhythm.
Roy, on the other hand, looked unfazed by the incoming danger. He had faced far greater threats in his lifetime, and this much wasn't enough to make him feel threatened.
With a steely look in his eyes, he raised his arms high and bellowed, "Fist Force, materialize! Fist of the Giants!"
His command echoed throughout the labyrinth, and the labyrinth shook as if in response. Suddenly, colossal black hands of divine steel materialized around Roy and Delilah, each one standing at a staggering height and width that rivaled a small building.
Delilah's eyes widened in wonder and amazement as she gazed upon the colossal hands before her. Their sheer power and size left her in awe, and she couldn't help but be impressed by their grandeur. They were effortlessly floating in the air, keeping up with the duo's pace.
Clang!
Clang! The metallic clash reverberated through the labyrinth, as a barrage of arrows and spikes rained down upon the massive black fists of divine steel. The impact of each blow was so forceful that it shook the very foundations of the labyrinth. However, the gigantic fists remained unyielding, steadfastly absorbing the shock of each strike, ensuring the safety of their creator and mistress.
Not a single scratch could be seen on their surface even though they have deflected countless attacks, their enormous size, defensive nature, and otherworldly strength rendering them impervious to harm. Force was a power that couldn't be easily comprehended or explained! And it was much harder to manipulate it. It was otherwordly!
Delilah was amazed.
With two colossal black fists of divine steel flanking them on either side and another two looming over them protectively, serving as their unwavering protectors, Roy and Delilah remained unharmed, no matter what trapped they triggered by demolishing the inner structure of the labyrinth. It was as if they were cocooned in an impenetrable shield, immune to all the dangers that were aimed at their lives.
They sprinted through the shortcut. The rush of the wind against their faces and the sound of their own breaths filled their ears, creating a deafening symphony that drowned out any other noise.
Despite the sounds of traps activating and hands deflecting them, they remained singularly focused on their ultimate goal - to reach the boss's room and defeat the dungeon boss, claiming ownership of the dungeon.
It was common knowledge that once the commanding figure of the dungeon meets its demise, the ownership of the structure will be distributed randomly. It was not the victor of the dungeon boss who was awarded the honor of possessing the dungeon, but any individual present within the dungeon at the time of the boss's death.
The one and only authority to unlock the exit belonged to the dungeon's owner. Roy was well aware of this fact, having read about it in the book. It was the primary reason why he had meticulously eliminated all of the inhabitants of the Goblin's Grotto dungeon before venturing forth to defeat the dungeon boss. He had made certain that the ownership of the dungeon would either fall to him or to Delilah once the boss had been defeated.
Of course, it should be noted that the Armored Knight's experience had been different.
'That damn bastard was too lucky.'
Recalling how easily the Armored Knight had conquered the dungeon, Roy couldn't help but curse.
According to the author, conquering the Goblin's Grotto dungeon was a relatively effortless task for the Armored Knight prior to his becoming a soul herder and gaining the extraordinary ability of Absolute Defense.
The Armored Knight had utilized the specialty of his spellbook to manipulate the minds of the goblins he encountered within the labyrinthine dungeon, brainwashing them so that they would serve him without question.
With the goblins under his control, he was able to systematically navigate his way through the dungeon, avoiding all the traps and collecting more goblins along the way to form a small army of low-level monsters.
The Armored Knight had then made the goblins lead him to the dungeon boss. He didn't even break a sweat navigating through the labyrinth as the brainwashed goblins helped him avoid all the traps and led him straight to the chamber.
Using the previously collected and brainwashed goblins to assist him, he had easily overpowered the boss. He even managed to manipulate and brainwash the boss, turning him into a loyal servant.
Once the powerful dungeon owner had become enslaved to his will, the Armored Knight demanded all of its treasures and forced it to open the exit for him. That's how the Armored Knight became a soul herder and returned home with countless treasures!
Roy couldn't help but feel envious of the Armored Knight's remarkable and enviable magical prowess.
The mind-control spellbook, which had been upgraded by the unique fruit of Seven Stars and Three Blessings, contained immense power.
He wished that he could get his hands on it during the awakening ceremony, so that he too could possess such immense power. If only he could obtain it, he would have no regrets.
Unlike the Armored Knight, he wouldn't use it for evil purposes. Instead, he would use it to make the world a better place.
