I spent my next 3 days training in the Forest of Beasts Dungeon I had a lot of new skills and skills that had evolved to test, it was one thing for me to read what each skill did with Identify, but it was another thing to actually know how to use the skill.
Now I was on the 90⁰ floor facing a troublesome monster, it was a Wolf of 10000 Blades, just as its name suggests, it is a type of Golem in the form of a Wolf whose whole body is made of swords or daggers.
This monster is very troublesome and managed to cause me a lot of trouble during the 1 hour I'm fighting him.
"Dad, let me help..." (Irina)
"No, it was really hard to find such an enemy... guhuhhh!" (I)
In the middle of answering Irina who wanted to enter the battle alongside Érica and Irius, I ended up getting distracted and the monster didn't miss this opportunity.
The monster throws dozens of daggers under the ground that came out from under me, one is stuck in my right leg, two are stuck in my stomach and one in my side, 3 tried to hit my heart, but I used my arm as a shield and with that my right arm was cut off.
I was thrown upwards with the great force those daggers hit me, but even so, I spread my wings as I spin in the air to regain my posture as a tendril of blood shoots out of the wound where the rest of my arms should be, this tentacle of blood has spread to where my amputated arm was flying and luxuriates to me where I use my lines and blood to put my arm back in place.
"< Dragon's Breath of Destruction >" (I)
On the Snow Golem monster that I defeated on the highest floors I used a weaker variation of this skill to test, I was afraid to know the power of this attack, and so far I tested other variations against other monsters, but now I will use the full power of this skill.
The moment I fully activate this skill, I feel the energy of all the Elements within me gather in my mouth along with demonic energy, with Blood energy, with my poison, and with cursed energy.
Just the feeling of all these dangerous things accumulating inside my mouth as it spins fills me with dread, but I do my best to keep my composure as I open my jaws towards the Wolf of 10000 Blades.
The beam of energy that came out of my mouth looked like my scales, a mostly black energy with various energy streams of various colors flowing inside in circles.
That hit consumed more than half of my energy reserves but what I saw showed the power of this attack that made a great ditch of destruction for kilometers in front of me.
This ditch had a depth of 3 meters and a diameter of five meters with flames that looked like the night sky burning everything.
The moment the attack has stopped a sword slashes through my chest from top to bottom, I spin around and land on my feet as I pull the sword from my chest.
I look where the attack came from only to see 2/3 of the swords that make up the monster's body floating in the air, these swords come together in the air forming the Wolf once again, but this time his body was clearly smaller, that's when I look where my attack landed to see several weapons burning in what I've decided to call the night flames.
"Looks like I landed a blow, but he must have separated like that and managed to avoid a killing blow." (I)
From the way his various body swords and daggers were separated just now, I can guess that's how he dodged the attack.
As he recreates his slightly smaller body, the daggers still attached to my body are pulled back to him.
"Now I know his weakness." (I)
After rebuilding his body he runs towards me using floating swords in the air to run over them, meanwhile, I concentrate my Aura in my hands creating big claws of Aura with which I start to fight back the monster's attacks.
But suddenly the monster starts to slow down and tries to retreat while all the blades that make up its body started to shake.
"Idiot, realized too late." (I)
"< Rune of Thunder: Magnetism >" (I)
I use a Spirit Rune since out of the 3 natural energies this is the weakest of this type of magic oriented monster and with a strong body, I use a Thunder Rune which causes it to bind one thing to another using a type of Magnetism, this Rune is particularly effective using on enemies that have metal in their bodies, this Rune can also be adjusted to not deal damage and just do its main function, or it can deal continuous electrical damage like I'm doing now.
I use my blood, Aura, Mana, Spiritual Energy, and Ki to create a large Black Leech with a body resembling smoke, teeth of crystallized blood, and a presence that only possesses hunger.
This is a skill I thought of after the fight against the Mermaid Queen, at that time I used a blood curse that turned her own blood into Leeches that devoured her from the inside out.
The issue is that Leeches only eat solid things, so I thought of ways to steal energy from my enemies during combat, that's when I started training to use this thing, a shame that I only managed to use it well after evolving.
The Leech completely swallowed the monster that had no way to move, inside this Leech still has many other small Blood Leeches to bite enemies, but I imagine they won't be able to do anything against an enemy completely made of metal.
The Leech is completely linked to my shadow, so it has a maximum range, but thanks to that the Mana of this monster is being absorbed by me quickly recovering my own Mana.
After a few minutes swords began to fall through the Leech's mist body falling to the ground, the monster was not able to make any more sound other than the metal shaking until the end.
After I hear the notification sound confirming death, I undo my Ability and use my lines to retrieve something that was falling.
What I retrieved from the monster was a crystal in the shape of a short sword, it wasn't carved, and its curves and lines are natural in its simplicity, plus the feel of this crystal is something I've noticed before.
"That's a strange monster core." (I)
"I think that wasn't a Golem, that's a Metallic Core, a very rare sword-shaped variant of a Metallic Core." (Nix)
"This is very rare, but only because the type of monsters that create these things are very strong variants of Metal Elementals." (Nix)
"I'll give it to Anton later, he should know what to do with it." (I)
"How's your arm, Dad?" (Irina)
"Good fight." (Irius)
Three days of training and combat made me more used to this body.
