Prince first used his Shadow weapon skill and created a sword that fit his hands perfectly.
Shadow weapon: user can manifest a weapon from darkness.
Prince shaped a sword, and without thinking twice, he charged at the boss monster, while using Shadow steps to get closer.
Swoosh!
The monster blocked his attack, though Prince managed to throw him a few steps back.
"Now Lacy!" He said, while keeping the monster busy.
She dashed, quickly appeared behind the boss monster and drove her poisonous dagger into its spine.
They both backed off as they saw the boss monster on its knees.
"Was that easy?" Lacy said.
"No— wait. He is regenerating." Prince replied.
He quickly turned his sword into a bow and fired flaming arrows nonstop at the boss monster.
As soon as the spiders and Orcs were dead, the rest of the students started helping them too.
But then an enormous monster appeared in their visions. It was ten times larger than the previous monster they fought.
Every step of that Red Monster made the ground shake violently. Its horn was sharp enough to pierce a human body smoothly.
Even some students started staggering just by its normal pace of walking.
"What’s wrong with that thing?" A random student from Class B said.
"Hey, don’t tell me we are going to fight that thing?"
Prince heard someone else’s footsteps beside that monster’s. It was the other students of class A and class B, led by Yella Vel, daughter of the Ellen academy’s principal.
Upon seeing the full strength of class A and class B, a sigh filled with relief escaped from Prince’s throat.
"I’m glad, you are not harmed anywhere, Lord Prince. By the way, what’s going on here?" Yella asked.
Prince shrugged. "Hell if I know."
"Just how in the world are we going to fight that thing?" Snow questioned her.
Lacy stated. "It looks like this monster is the one who’s controlling every monster. That means, if we defeat it, we will be able to return alive!"
Every student heard what Lacy had said, but the thing was, no one dares to fight that monster.
The Red Monster thumped its one leg heavily against the rough surface.
Every student fell down to their knees against the Monster’s Aura.
Prince struggled to stand, but couldn’t even manage to get up.
The Red Monster started devouring its own allies, which lay dead across the ground.
"Kwghh... t-this force."
"Guys w-we. need. to. move or..." Yella’s words came out haltingly.
’I was right! After all that Kale bastard is not strong enough to set the core of Infinite Illusion to the dungeon, so he gave the core to the monster.’ Prince thought.
’So if we just kill that Red Monster, we will be able to escape this dungeon, right?’
The Red Monster now started running at them, breaking the law that says large bodies can’t move fast.
With every thump of its bare feet, the students were knocked off balance.
"Hey everyone, stand up, or you will be crushed under his feet!" Prince commanded, his sharp voice that landed on everyone’s ear perfectly.
The ground shook violently as the Crimson Red Monster thundered forward.
Each step sent cracks spiderwebbing across the dungeon floor.
Its horns gleamed like blood soaked spears, and its mouth opened wide, revealing rows of jagged teeth dripping with the blood of its devoured allies.
Prince gritted his teeth, and his legs trembled under the crushing aura, but he refused to stay down.
"Shadow Steps."
The giant’s massive foot came crashing down where he had been standing a split second earlier, turning stone into a speck of dust.
"Now!" Prince shouted. "Support with light magic, Yella! Lacy, Watch her back! Everyone else, break the aura with your mana circulation! Don’t fight it directly!"
Yella Vel, the principal’s daughter, was the first to respond. "Class A and B, formation delta! Push back that damn pressure!"
Lacy dashed, her poison-coated dagger flashing again. "On it!"
The giant roared and swiped a colossal arm.
"Shadow Weapon."
...He shifted his bow back into a perfectly balanced sword, mid-stride.
He leaped onto the monster’s arm, using the momentum to run up.
Swoosh—slash!
His shadow blade bit deep into the monster’s crimson hide. As it sank in, he unleashed Shadow Burst straight through the blade into its body.
He used his Blade as a shadow to make the blast more effective.
The monster bellowed in rage, its aura flaring even stronger. Students who had just started rising were slammed down again.
"Gahh—too heavy!"
"I can’t... breathe..."
Prince’s muscles burned. ’This thing’s aura is on another level.’
"Prince! Watch out!" Snow, Yella, and Lacy yelled at the same time.
The Giant twisted violently, then used Shadow steps, trying to cover the distance between Prince and itself quickly.
Prince’s pupils shrank, stunned to see it copying his skill so perfectly.
It grabbed Prince and slammed him again and again against the cavern wall.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
