Chapter 586 Another Bootleg Ghidorah

Chapter 586 Another Bootleg Ghidorah

Leaving behind the crater he formed on the floor, Evan charged forward and caught up with Greed, tossing the lizardman's body on the High Demon's back before overtaking him and running up to Kayla who was in the lead.

[Master, what floor is this?]

"59."

Evan replied as he pulled up a 3D projection map of the dungeon, whilst Kayla slowed down to look at it and then compare it to the map in her head.

'Good, now I know where to go.'

Within seconds they ran down a slope that led deeper into the dungeon, and after passing through a thin barely perceptible barrier, Evan spoke once more.

"60, now."

Greed caught up to them and tried getting back at Evan, but the boy dodged the corpses tossed on the ground in front of him, and at his back with blink before carrying on like the high demon didn't just try to make him trip.

"You guys know we can't fight anything on the last 30 floors, right? Those guys are too close to level 500.

The amount of energy we'd consume fighting them would be too much—an unwise decision as we have a wave of Demonic Hand members on Floor 99 and an Executive on Floor 100."

Evan jumped up in the air and clenched his fist, throwing out a punch with Fracture activated and bashing the chest of the wyvern trying to attack them.

Landing back on the ground, he caught up to the other two who had gone forward before continuing his words.

"This is not taking into account the Lizard Lord itself."

**BOOMMM!!!

Right after he spoke, the dungeon wall to their side was blasted apart, and they all jumped away to avoid getting caught up.

When they looked to see who was responsible, they were met with the appearance of a four-headed hydra, one that looked particularly pissed for a reason only Heaven knew.

"Another bootleg Ghidorah?!"

[Master, Ghidorah has three heads.]

Evan turned an incredulous look towards Kayla who corrected him, his voice tinged with genuine curiosity as he asked.

"Why do you know how many heads Ghidorah has?!"

[Fight now, questions later.]

The Lightning spirit avoided the question with the impending battle as an excuse, conjuring up a mass of static energy mid-air and then compressing it into a singular destructive point within her hands.

[Ark Flash!]

The electrifying explosion that followed unleashed a devastating AoE lightning assault that wrecked the monster's body, while the skill's main effect dropped down multiple beams of lightning that blew one of the monster's heads to smithereens.

[Now, it looks like a bootleg Ghidorah.]

"…Seriously, Kayla?"

[RAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHH!!!]

The monster's agonized scream drowned out Evan's voice, and its next move was a raging charge towards the Lightning spirit, which would have succeeded if a certain High Demon wasn't holding its tail.

"Where the hell do you think you're going, reptile?"

Greed pulled the enormous monster's body by its tail, using his idiosyncrasy to steal as much strength as he could from it before flinging it through the air and into another dungeon wall.

"Ow…that hurt a bit."

A green light glowed around his arms and he noticed the pain caused by his Muscle strain vanish.

"They caught up already?"

The answer to his question came from the Blonde teenager who emerged from Evan's shadow with an orb hovering right beside her head.

"Yeah, we did."

"Wait up, you could cast magic whilst inside Kuro's shadows?"

Evan voiced out his astonishment at this action, but before he could get an answer, Eliza suddenly narrowed her eyes and glared at the space behind him.

"Evan."

"I know."

The boy's hand shot out so fast it appeared to be a blur, grabbing onto seemingly empty air as he spoke.

"We're fighting bootleg Ghidorah so die, okay?"

**CHINK!

A wave of frigid energy was released from his body, washing over the 'thing' he was holding and freezing it in a block of ice.

He then shattered the ice, along with the stealth-type creature's life.

The ice fragments that were descending to the ground, caught in gravity's grasp suddenly escaped and began hovering mid-air.

Evan held up his hand and the ice shards started vibrating a ridiculously high speeds, before dissolving into a mist that swirled into a ball of mist in his palm.

Seeing this, Milena who was arriving together with Amy had her jaw drop in shock.

[Master…what the fuck did you just do?]

Eliza, Kuro, and even Greed and Kayla who were about to attack the monster getting back up to its feet all turned towards Milena in shock.

[Did Milly just…curse?]

Kayla voiced out the question they all had on their minds, prompting them to all move their gazes to Evan, wondering just what on Aidos he did that made Milena of all people use a curse word.

"Series skills are broken."

That was all the Hero said as he looked at the mist orb in his palm.

He had just frozen a grandmaster-level monster in a block of ice, shattered said ice and then extracted not only the energy he used to freeze it, but also the energy that was in the body of the monster he had frozen.

That was what made up the orb of ice in his palm.

It was one thing if he recovered the energy that he used in freezing it, but taking the monster's energy as well? That was not supposed to happen.

He then solidified it into a ball of ice, turning his gaze towards the Bootleg Ghidorah that roared and unleashed a fire breath from one of its heads.

Greed turned around and summoned his wind magic, creating a cyclone wall that swirled the flame stream right up towards the floor ceiling.

Kalya flashed in right after, her hand coated in lightning as she activated her Electroflame skill on its head. The rose of flames that bloomed on its head was met with Kayla's fist of lighting, and just like whenever Evan punched at this timing, the energies flashed back and created a distortion in the air.

[Huh? Master! I got the Fracture skill!]

"Wait, for real?!"

[Yep!]

The spirit replied with a bright smile on her face, before spinning her body around and repeating the same Electroflame-Fracture combo.

**BOOM!!

The monster's scales blasted apart and she destroyed its other eye, successfully blinding the head that shot out the flame breath.

Seeing the phenomenon that manifested around her arm, Evan could tell it was the same as his skill and not the mimicry with lightning that Kayla usually used.

The boy shook his head and reforged the ball of ice in his hand, increasing its size to that of a bowling ball and adding the three holes for his fingers as well.

He kicked off the ground and ran towards it, jumping to avoid the poison breath it spewed and then bowling the ball at it.

Naturally, the ball's movement speed was not as slow as that of a normal bowling ball.

In the few seconds it took to reach the monster, Greed smacked aside the other head with the flat side of his blade, jumping up in the air and grabbing onto its long neck.

Still in the air, he pulled backwards and let his body fall onto its back, slamming his elbow onto the monster's back.

**BAM!!

The force made it monster's knees buckle and its body fell onto the ground, just in time for the icy orb to crash into it.

From Greed's shadow, shadowy arms extended and pulled him into it, warping him away from the area before the orb exploded on the monster's chest.

The ensuing explosion of icy energy was substantial, enough that it blasted one of the monster's heads off its neck, tearing through its chest scales and flesh, inflicting extensive wounds all over.

The creature shrieked in excruciating pain as blood spattered in all directions.

"I really wish I had a 'Devour-type' skill. The kind that can eat monsters and gain their power. Now would be a really good time to use it."

Evan casually remarked as he walked up to the wounded monster's last good head and stabbed its skull with the unforged, twisting the sword inside like he was twisting a key and infusing his ice energy into it.

He triggered an internal explosion of ice with Frostbrand Detonation, one that had the monster's eyes and mouth spilling blood.

"Dealing with Monsters above level 400 in my base state really makes me expend a lot of energy."

The boy spoke with a sigh as he pulled out the sword and flicked the blood off before unsheathing it.

[The 'goddess Artemisia' says she'd provide some assistance.]

"Huh?"

The monster's corpse suddenly dried up like someone sucked out all the vitality from it, and the residual energy left in its body condensed at a point, before transforming into one larger-than-normal strawberry that fell into Evan's hands.

"…"

The goddess had done the same thing Evan did with that stealth monster, except she had done it faster, better, and she made it a strawberry.
