Chapter 210 Sato
"Let's end this!"
Wind began to howl and Sun floated into the air while looking down at the dying beast.
"Wind element, Tempester, focus hundredfold"
A magical circle blinded everyone causing their eyes to feel painful. With their eyes shut closed all they could feel was a big eruption that caused them to fly away.
"Damn it!"
With their already injured bodies, the party members could only rely on magical enchantment items to survive.
They all close their eyes and pray to god because at that moment they thought none of them could survive the impact of Sun's attack.
The air vibrated so hard that it almost blew up their lungs, and the ground shook as well causing their sense of balance to be disrupted.
"Please just kill that dragon already!"
Joven shouted despite the pain and suddenly the shockwaves dispersed as if it never existed. Then as they stood up their injuries also healed without their knowledge.
"What just happened?"
They became confused not until they noticed a barrier that protected them, and then on the ground was a magic circle.
"Look outside!"
Sato exclaimed seeing a single silhouette who stood out among the broken walls and ceiling of the dungeon. Experience tales at empire
It was Sun he was unscathed and merely floated in the air, though his expression showed no signs of relief. This made the party nervous.
What if that beast was still alive?
Was it a wise decision to acquire the key? Or venturing into the most dangerous parts of the dungeon better?
None of the options seems better however there is one thing clear, Sun is the only one that can save them.
"Support now!"
Joven commanded and the mages who are proficient with healing and buffs collected themselves and began to cast. The tanker and melee fighters wanted to assist but fearing that they might turn into a hindrance than help is worrying them. So all they did was watch.
Outside the barrier Sun looked down at the beast's corpse however instead of being happy his eyes lay on the little thing it left behind. Right before it died it spit a cocoon. Sun tried to destroy it however the dragon was persistent, and before the last spark of life extinguished it protected the cocoon until it was able to hatch.
So now Sun stared at the monstrosity in front of him.
"What are you" he spoke seeing a figure that strangely resembles a human.
"...."
The humanoid beast didn't answer instead its vertical pupils stared deep into the man who blatantly looked down on its existence.
Sun frowned the beast's appearance was way too similar to a human. From the face and the structure of the body, it really resembles a person, if it weren't for the fact that scales envelop his body as armor that monster could definitely fool someone.
"I can feel you can understand me" Sun spoke again however just like before the beast remained silent.
With only silence enveloping the two. The mage now doesn't know whether to attack or not.
Dungeon beasts are quite strange than regular monsters. Some monsters would never attack humans even though they are powerful enough to wipe them out. That is why raiders would often say that if a dungeon beast doesn't attack then don't attack it, it isn't hostile, but if the beast attacks first or if it gives any ounce of killing intent, kill it.
Sun can definitely feel that this humanoid monster has an enormous strength but since he can't feel anything he doesn't know whether to make a move or not.
However, their stalemate ended when he felt a sudden spell that boosted his overall stats.
"Have they recovered?" he thought while looking back at the barrier he made. In that short moment that he looked back his blood completely ran cold when he felt someone's claws right on his body. The supporter's magic then takes over and a barrier is made to shield Sun. The tankers didn't stay idle although they didn't dare join the fight their auras envelope Sun's body.
This immediate response protected him from danger and saved him from getting hurt. Sun repositioned himself and with the swift movement of the wind, he appeared right beside the beast.
Then from a magic staff, it turns into a gun. A bullet was shot however the speed of the beast was capable of dodging a bullet. However despite this Sun didn't appear to be concerned because the bullets didn't need to hit the target to take effect. As long as the intended target is inside the radius where the bullet hit then it will still take effect.
"GRRRR"
A growl was heard from the beast it seemed it had felt the sudden energy disturbance inside its body. It moves again in accordance with its will to destroy the one human in front of it.
"Wind Element, Air Pressure"
A heavy burden of pressure hit the speedy opponent causing it to immediately crash on the broken floor. It tried to move but the heavy burden that was crashing was something it couldn't fight.
As the beast remained stationary Sun took this opportunity to fire another bullet and unlike before this time it hit the target.
"Let's finish this"
The fighter mage announces gathering a powerful amount of mana.
The beast feeling its impending death hurriedly tried to fight back. It tried to move however a simultaneous attack kept it in place. Confusion wells up in the mind of the beast not knowing where the attack is coming from. There was just one human yet it felt like it was fighting many people. It looked around trying to find the source of the attacks however it couldn't.
Arrows were embedded in its limbs while a spell kept him in place. Now it couldn't move and all it could do was wait for its approaching death.
"Wind Element, Airstrike"
The surrounding air became focused on one point until the breathing of the surrounding beings was affected. Nature mana was also pulled in causing the spell to strengthen. With the wave of Sun's hand, the spell struck down.
"GARRAAGHH!"
The beast roared trying to use its remaining energy to propel the spell backwards however, Sun merely increased the pressure making the beast's body ground to pieces.
"It's dead!"
Exclaimed the people inside however even when the battle ended the barrier wasn't taken down. This made them confused until they noticed the sudden changes in the surroundings outside. Coming out of the beast's body is a thick violet miasma.
"Are those poisonous?" they wondered but another pressing matter came and worried them when one of the swordsman shouted something.
"Look at the barrier!"
"What the!"
"The miasma is destroying the barrier!"
"Hurry everyone!"
Spells were cast while auras were called to prevent the miasma from destroying their barrier.
"Where is Sun!"
Joven asked while trying his best to search for him.
"Wait Sato is also not here!"
"What!"
Their leader suddenly felt a headache however with the current situation not being good it is best to retreat.
"Where are you two!" Joven continues to think so while trying to contact Sun using his communication device.
{Sun!....}
{A-r..are you...s-afe?}
The voice was a bit static however its receiver immediately responded.
"I am safe but please remain inside the barrier, the miasma is spreading in all directions, you might also need to contact the people outside the entrance since this thing is almost there"
{Wh-at?... Okay I will tell them}
After cutting down the call Sun looked at a certain man's figure and said.
"Get away from the key Sato"
His voice made the man stop and then a voice filled with sarcasm filled the air.
"Mr Sun, you are still alive?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You seem disappointed"
Amongst the blurry and zero visibility place a figure emerges from the cloud of deadly fog.
"Sato, no was it even your name? After all the name Sato came from the East, however you don't have any semblance that you came from there. Not in terms of appearance, speech and even your mana"
A wicked smile emerges on Sato's face before laughing hysterically.
"I don't really need to explain myself"
He said while walking towards Sun though his targets suddenly disappeared and reappeared right beside the key.
"Hmmm....do you want me to guess who you are" Sun suddenly came up with a topic though Sato wasn't interested. Because every passing second his defense is slowly breaking away due to the miasma. He doesn't have the time to entertain someone's useless dialogue.
"Let me guess your name should be...."
Sun began to say though Sato already vanished and reappeared in front of him.
"Alphonse Delmar"
Hearing that name Sato's fist halted and that became an opportunity for Sun to strike his face. The sheer force of that attack made Sato roll away and hit the wall with a loud thud.
"How was it, does it hurt?"
Sun asked while his voice was filled with sarcasm.
