My King System

Chapter 25 - Pharaoh Raza

[Fortified Mummy Mini Boss: King Raza]

In front of Yuki was a 15 feet giant mummy.

"Just my luck, of course I had to face a giant mummy. Knowing the conditions of this stage, he's probably level 3 just like me. However, he has his defense stat boosted."

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out 4 more attack boost potions. Just like he had done previously, he opened the capsules as fast as he could and drank them all.

[Yuki's current attack boost: x5 multiplier]

"I can't keep wasting attack boost potions. This is only the 4th stage and I've already used 10 of them here. I need to use the 15 left wisely."

Confident in himself, Yuki grabbed "Fallen angel of hell" and began charging towards king Raza. At the same time, Raza swung his arm at Yuki however, Yuki easily dodged it.

"I see. So in exchange for an insane amount of defensive power, they decrease their stats in everything else."

Once he dodged the attack, Yuki swung his blade at Raza's right arm in hopes of immobilizing his movements.

To his surprise, Yuki had actually made a dent in Raza's arm.

"Wow! I doubted myself there for a second. I guess this is what a 5 times attack multiplies does."

Before Raza could fight back, Yuki pulled his sword upwards and struck again, this time successfully cutting off Raza's hand.

"Please don't have any special abilities. For the life of all things good within this world, don't have any special abilities!"

Just then, Raza roared in pain.

[Wrath activated]

[Fortified Mummy Mini Boss: Enraged King Raza]

The linen from Raza's cut off hand began extending until it reached his shoulder and connected the separated part together. As Raza continued his ramage, he started banging on the ground, causing it to shake.

"What a pain. I'll have to finish this quickly."

Yuki began to walk towards Raza as he prepared to finish the fight. Once Yuki was in his range of attack, Raza quickly threw a punch at him. Expecting the attack to be weak, Yuki attempted to block him with just one hand. Unexpectedly, Raza easily overpowered Yuki and sent him flying.

Yuki landed, back facing the ground into the sand. He felt all of his bones shattered. There was no way he could beat Raza.

"Why is he this strong? I thought that he would lose most of his attack power because of his increased defense. Unless..."

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out another full status recovery potion and drank it.

"I'll have to leave the dungeon and stock up on potions. There hasn't been any silver dropped by monsters here which means that I'll either receive it at stage 10 once I finish the dungeon or if I'm lucky, I'll get it at stage 5 for making it to the halfway point."

Yuki began walking back to Raza. Once Raza noticed him, he began running towards Yuki to inflict more pain on him. As he ran, Yuki stood there waiting for the right moment. Just before Raza could land a hit, Yuki took a deep breath and jumped as he dodged Raza's swing. Yuki landed on Raza's arm and used it to propel himself toward Raza's neck.

"Please let this work!"

Yuki spun around in the air, cutting through Raza's neck like butter and decapitating him.

The large figure began to lose its shape and all the linen covering it fell to the ground. Yuki sighed in relief and began making his way to the next gateway.

"I thought so. When Raza went into his enraged state, he lost his defense and increased his attack."

Just as Yuki began to relax once again he heard the sound of moving sand. As he turned his head, he saw the 15 feet monster to take shape once again.

"At this point I'm not even mad. There's no way I can win the battle."

Yuki sat down and accepted his fate. He didn't have the will power to admit defeat and retreat. Right as he closed his eyes, a sudden thought came to his mind.

"I should've thought of that before!"

"Sometimes even my own genius frightens me," Yuki said out loud as he laughed.

[Open Inventory]

Yuki pulled out "Lucky Sword" and a speed potion. He drank the potion and held both swords forward. He quickly struck the blades of his swords together to cause friction and start a fire. Thanks to the speed potion he consumed, it only took one try to cover both his swords in flames.

"It's too bad that you had to face someone who's as intelligent as me Raza, maybe if it was anyone else you could've lived on. Goodbye, it just wasn't your lucky day."

As Yuki finished his speech, Raza also completed his regeneration process. As he began charging at Yuki for revenge, Yuki threw both his blades at Raza.

"I'm not risking more damage. Even if you block the swords, you'll still catch on fire."

As he expected, Raza blocked the swords thrown at him. Nevertheless, he still caught on fire and the flames spread quickly.

"Burn! Burn to the ground!"

Yuki still had a large amount of stamina left since he used a full status recovery potion so he was able to make his way to the next gate way with ease.

"It's been almost 2 days since I entered this dungeon. Each stage has been a living hell but I can feel it. I'm getting stronger with each passing second."

[Stage four: Complete]

[Fortified Mummies: defeated]

[Fortified Mummy Mini Boss King Raza: defeated]

[Item drop: Linen of life]

Yuki double tapped on the scroll to open its information chart.

[Rank: E]

[Attack: 0]

[Description: Power: Improves health regeneration. The hunger of the ancient Ygyptians for immortality drove them to extreme lengths in which they believed that covering their dead body would preserve their body. However, the linen instead absorbed their life force and contained it within itself.]

[+25000 exp]

[LEVEL UP]

[Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 4: 9200/50000]

"When I said I was getting stronger by the second I didn't think I would level up. I mean, I'm not complaining."

Once again that familiar sensation of power surging within Yuki's blood came back. It was an addicting sensation which brought the player immeasurable satisfaction. It was as if it was programmed to make the player want to level up as fast as they could.

Yuki finally walked through the 5th gate. The white glow blocking Yuki from viewing the next stage began to unveil just as it had previously.
