Chapter 68: Lair of the Lost Eagle
" Shit....." The opponent.
*????????????????????????????????.....????????????????.....????????????????????????????????.....????????????????.....*
...
[ Athan wins ]
[ Winning Streak: 5 ]
[ 1 point reward for getting 5 streaks ]
" Huu...I keep getting matched with people who have mastered the flowing method now...." Arriving in the grassy plains after defeating his last opponent, Athan took a virtual breath.
' My attack power is definitely very strong now but against those opponents who similarly have powerful Flowing Spells and have mastered Flowing methods, My defensive spells are like non-existence, and what Revera mentioned was also true, There are limits to spells. '
The spells he created are totally useless now, except <Lightning Arial Wings> but compared to his opponents who had better flying and movement spells, his <Lightning Arial Wings> performs subpar.
He almost lost one match because of his subpar speed, The reason he won that match was that His offensive was very powerful and fast.
" Looks like I will soon hit a wall if I continue this way. "
He thought for a few moments and decided to buy a few things from the points shop, ' But I only have 43 points right now...'
Just then, He heard Tiana's voice, " Athan~, Let's stop doing Combat Arena for while and do dungeons, I want to buy a few things from the point shop. "
Turning behind, He smiled and replied, " Perfect timing, I was also thinking of doing that. " Saying this, Athan added Tiana to his party and started the [ Lair of the Lost Eagle ].
[ Matching...]
[ Matching completed ]
[ Squad ]
- Athan
- Tiana
- Trevis
- Judith
The scenery changed as They arrived in an unfamiliar place.
Athan and Tiana looked around as Tiana spoke with a gasp, " Such big and tall trees..." The other two people on the squad were also surprised, The branches of the tree were wide enough for 4-5 people to stand and the trees were gigantic.
Trevis looked like a buffed guy who was a bit fat and seemed around 26 years old while Judith was a small and chubby girl whose age was difficult to gauge.
All four of them were currently standing on the giant branches of gigantic trees that were few thousand meters tall.
It was difficult even to see the ground from where they stood.
*screeeeeeeeee.....screeeeeeeeee*
Suddenly, Strong winds started to blow as two big eagles arrived. Both eagles had were covered with dark blue and white-colored feathers.
Athan cast <Lightning Arial wings> but...failed.
" Looks like flying is entirely forbidden in this dungeon instead of just penalty of energy-draining. " Athan spoke in a loud voice after he failed to summon the <Lightning Arial Wings>.
Trevis nodded and responded hearing Athan, " We'll have to defeat the eagles by jumping around in these branches, and by chance, we fall down, We will likely be eliminated. "
The eagles suddenly opened their mouths and two Lightning balls shot towards them.
Everyone jumped towards different branches seeing the attack.
The strong wind was blowing naturally as it was not the doing of eagles, After jumping onto different branches, They supported themselves.
Athan used one hand to grab the trunk while he stretched his other hand towards one of the eagles and released <Impact Shot> before aiming towards another eagle and did the same.
*screeeeeeechh...*
The eagles couldn't dodge as they died under Athan's fast Impact shots.
But it didn't take long before a few more eagles came. The eagles that arrived this time were actually smaller but had sharp and terrifying claws and green-blue wings.
The total numbers of eagles were four, and each eagle chose a different person before flying towards them at sonic speed as Lightning danced around their deadly claws and wings.
Athan shouted towards Tiana, " Come here fast and support my standing. "
Hearing Athan's shout, Tiana who standing on another place near Athan's branch jumped towards him before she conjured two long snakes and grabbed one's tail as it wrapped around Athan's waist, and used another snake to support herself by letting it dug into the truck and grabbed its tail with another hand.
The eagle that was going towards Tiana also changed its direction as both eagles now flew towards Athan.
He had both of his hands aimed at eagles and was waiting for them to come near him.
After 2 seconds, Just as both of the eagles were almost arm's length from Athan, He released <Impact Scatter> towards them.
*screeechh....screeechh.....*
Both eagles died before their claws could hit Athan as they turned into white light.
Meanwhile, Trevis had a chain scythe which he was spinning, and at the right timing, He threw it towards the incoming eagle before killing it with some kind of spell that was released from the scythe.
At the same time, Judith opened her mouth as a blue-colored bubble with a yellow hue shot out towards the eagle.
The bubble got big enough to trap the eagle after it detached from her mouth. After the bubble hit the eagle, It didn't pop but instead trapped the eagle inside before the eagle got electrocuted to death.
Athan and others were surprised to see the attack. The bubble was mixed with water, Light, and Lightning energy, and the eagle itself was partly responsible for its own death because its lightning was used against itself.
' Looks like she has a fusion Intent just like Tiana, And its Lighting and Light intent. Her intent's energy used the eagle's lightning to make it stronger before it was electrocuted to death. '
After defeating this wave of eagles, A giant eagle arrived that was likely the boss.
The blowing winds also became very strong all of a sudden.
' It's going to be a bit troublesome...'
After a moment of thinking, Athan shouted, " I got a spell that can beat this eagle instantly, you all just need to protect me. "
Hearing Athan's shout, Judith turned her chubby face towards Trevis and spoke, " Trevis, Use your Chain scythe's chain around me and prevent me from falling while I cast a defensive spell, We got to hurry because this giant eagle is going to use its move soon. "
While speaking, She jumped toward's Athan branch but right at that moment, a wave of wind shot towards her from The Giant eagle that was flapping its wings.
Seeing this, Trevis cursed under his breath as he hurriedly shot his chain towards Judith before he also jumped at the branch where Athan and Tiana were standing.
He actually materialized a chain of Metal Energy with a sharp point that dug itself towards the trunk to get a foothold and then pulled his scythe which had its chain wrapped around Judith.
She then also arrived on the same branch as all others before first materializing a bright yellow barrier that had yellow lightning dancing everywhere and then she prepared to cast another strong defensive spell.
The barrier she cast did not or could not prevent the strong blowing winds.
Athan was also forming his spell <Impact Point>
Seeing that all four of them were in one place, The giant fat eagle which had a wingspan around 130 meters and 50 meters in length let out a piercing sound as its feathers started to shine with a dark blue hue before countless lightning needles shot towards Athan and the group.
But the barrier withstood all those Lightning needles.
After a few seconds, The giant eagle released the same attack once again.
*cracks....*
The barrier withstood this attack but countless cracks appeared on it.
The eagle screeched out loud seeing it as a ball of lightning and wind energy started to form right in front of its open mouth.
<Holy Astral Sanctuary>
But just then, A solid yellow square materialized around them which was shining with dark yellow sparks.
" I'm done, Even if that eagle attacks us with its power, We will survive. " Judith spoke as she finished casting her spell.
The wind that was bothering them also stopped as it was blocked by this square defensive spell of Judith.
Athan had also finished forming a 3 layer Impact Point but before he could shoot it, The eagle's attack arrived.
*????????????????????????????????????????????...????????????????????*
The defensive spell of Judith really withstood the attack and after that, Athan left her barrier before instantly releasing his <Impact Point> towards the Giant Eagle.
He needed to leave the area Holy Astral Sanctuary otherwise his spell would instead collide with the defensive spell.
Impact Point shot at supersonic speed towards the eagle as it hit right in its throat before a loud bang occurred.
[ Congratulations for completing the Lair of the lost Eagle ]
[ 15 points and a Normal Box to Athan, Tiana, Judith, and Trevis ]
[ You have unlocked the option to play this dungeon in dual mode. If you can beat this dungeon as two people then you can earn extra 10 points. ]
...
...
Athan and Tiana arrived at the Dungeon Plaza after that.
" That was a bit tough, The most troublesome thing was the powerful blowing winds and the restriction of flying. " Tiana commented as she brought the normal box from her inventory.
" Indeed, We can't finish this dungeon in Dual mode yet so we'll just complete other two star dungeons and get more powerful before trying to attempt them in dual mode. " Athan replied while nodding his head as he also brought out the normal box.
" I'll open first. " saying this, Tiana touched the lock of the normal box.
[ Congratulations! You have received a Quadic Frost Dome Spell Manual. ]
Seeing the reward, Tiana spoke in delight, " It seems to be a defensive spell, Let me look at its description. "
<Quadic Frost Dome>
- A Flowing Spell that requires Ice Energy and Intermediate Level Ice Intent.
- Creates a strong defensive dome of Ice with a strong internal structure and foundation that can withstand various kinds of attacks be it blunt, blast, pierce, etc. but it has its weaknesses too, like melting attacks of Fire element and acidic liquid attacks that has fire element in it.
Note:- Don't try to practice this spell if you don't meet the requirement. Intermediate Level Ice Intent and Ice constitution is a must, and in case you meet the requirements then only master the beginner stage if you are still in Energy Plane.
Athan also took a look at the spell's description and shook his head, " Looks like it's a useless spell, for now. I don't have ice element while you have ice element but don't have ice constitution or Ice Intent. "
Tiana also disappointed nodded with agreement and sighed, " I really wanted a defensive spell, That way I can protect you while you attack. The Attack power of your spells is already higher than my spells so I will buy a good defensive spell from the point shop after gathering enough points. Putting that aside, Open your normal box, and let's see what you get. "
Athan then touched the lock of the normal.
[ Congratulations! You got a...
