Chapter 1360 1360. Locating The Main Node

?

Jack was surprised by the hole in the ceiling. When he used his Lightning God Barrage, the explosions were large and they hit the floor the blob was standing on, but the floor was just fine.

'Does this mean this RPG is even more powerful than my divine skill?' Jack thought.

He missed, but he still had another ammo. He took the other ammo out from the other capsule case and loaded it into the launcher while running away from the blob.

Seeing that its current prey was just too slippery, the blob changed its mind and headed to the other prey who seemed to be stationary.

"Oh, crap," Jack uttered and was about to head back to draw the blob's attention. But he didn't need to, because Master had finished his casting. The speed of Master's spell-casting was irrational. He used a normal one-rune-at-a-time casting, but his speed rivaled Jack's multi-rune casting.

Three large eastern dragons of three distinct elements burst out from the completed spell formation. The three elemental dragons rushed to the blob. The dragons were too fast for the blob to dodge. Additionally, the dragons were as if alive, they would just fly back if they missed the first time.

The fire and ice dragons bit the blob's two arms while the lightning dragon bit what seemed to be its head. The three dragons formed a chained reaction which resulted in an elemental explosion.

When the explosion ended, Master noticed that his mega spell also drained less than five percent HP from the blob.

"This is going to take some time," Master said the same thing as Jack. "Give me another skill-free stone! …What are you doing?"

Jack had run to Master's side when the blob was incapacitated by Master's dragons. He now placed the bear trap from the stash room on the floor.

"What can that small trap do against that large monster?" Master ridiculed.

"You underestimated this place's tools. I think some of them are made to be even more powerful than our skills."

Jack had finished arming the trap. The blob was now heading to them as well.

"Move back! But keep a straight line between this trap and that blob!" Jack instructed.

Thankfully, the blob was oblivious to the small trap in front of it. The blob was not walking with legs because it didn't have any. It was slithering on the floor, so there was no chance it won't touch the trap as long as it was moving on top of it.

A sharp clicking sound was heard when the blob's slithering belly hit the bear trap.

When Jack saw the blob stop moving, he exclaimed triumphantly, "Ha! See how you dodge this one now!"

Jack was ready with his RPG launcher. This was his last RPG, so he had to make it count. Different from before, this time he aimed it at the blob's belly, near where the bear trap was.

The RPG hit the blob this time. The explosion from the collision wasn't as impressive as his Lightning God Barrage nor was it as spectacular as Master's mega spell, the tri-elemental dragons. However, the RPG's result beat the two seemingly more powerful skills.

The blob's belly part that was hit by the RPG exploded into a huge cavity. The night hunters forming that part of the belly was ripped out due to the explosion and they fell lifelessly around the blob.I think you should take a look at

The blob didn't lose any HP. No damage number appeared above the blob. However, its HP bar shortened significantly. It was now only two-thirds from before. The RPG had reduced the blob's max HP instead of reducing its HP.

The effect was not only a reduction of max HP. The blob now rearranged the night hunters in his body mass to cover the cavity. This resulted in the blob becoming smaller and weaker.

Jack celebrated the result. At the same time, he was pitying the waste of the first RPG. If both of them hit the blob, the monster would be down to only one-third of its original HP and become even weaker.

Jack didn't let himself dwell in the past. What's done was done. He was about to use another skill-free stone and engage the blob when something drew his attention.

"Hey, a*shole. What does the main node look like?" Jack asked Master. At the same time, he shifted to the side.

Master planned to ignore Jack since Jack called him an a*shole, but Jack's next words caused him to be unable to do that.

"Is it a large black box covered by glowing runes?"

"I don't know about it being a black box, but yes, it will be covered with glowing runes. How do you know?" Master asked Jack. At the same time, he traced Jack's gaze, which was on the hole in the ceiling. He saw a part of something that had a glowing surface.

He shifted his position to where Jack was and the glowing thing was better seen from the hole. It was as Jack mentioned. A tall black box that has glowing runes covering all its surfaces.

"That is the main node!" Master exclaimed. He was not wrong. The main node was indeed up here. Except it was not on the top floor but on the roof! That pillar he saw at the corner of this hall must be hiding the stairs going up to the roof.

"What should we do with that main node? Simply destroy it?" Jack asked.

"Yes," Master answered.

"Okay, here's what you asked for," Jack threw Master a skill-free stone. He then used the limiter-off stone.

The blob had finished rearranging its body. It was now moving toward the two again.

With the restrictions off, Jack's body was fully covered in full armor. Storm Breaker and the mana leech staff were in his hands. He transformed into supreme dragon form.

"Take care of yourself," Jack said to Master and flew toward the ceiling before the blob arrived.

Master looked at the skill-free stone that was given by Jack.

"Hmph!" He harrumphed and threw it to the floor. Now that the main node had been located, there was also no need for him to hold back. He used his limiter-off stone and re-equipped all his armor and weapons.
