Chapter 59 12 - Against B-Rank Monsters
The explosion can be heard repeatedly.
I cast fireball multiple times, at least 10. I have drunk 5 mana potions, and the C and D rank monsters are all obliterated and I gained new summons.
Out of 500, I have now 150 C-rank summons ad 350 D-rank summons. I feel satisfied with the outcome. I have more mana potion to spare.
Using lower-level magic to defeat high-level monsters. It was possible because I could cast 2000+ fireballs at a time, which completely drained my mana on the verge of being empty. No normal magician could cast this many fireballs at a time.
And in total, I guess more than 20 thousand fireballs were used to kill all the 500 monsters. So, if I have to make it in ratio then it would be 4 fireballs for one monster, 4:1.
Well anyway, I walked ahead and cross the second ring.
I have now more monsters than when I came here.
As I crossed the ring, I felt many sharp auras coming at me from different angles. Sweats dripped from my neck, as I gulped down. My heart beat a little harder.
I could also feel an aura that I feel familiar with. So, I can feel the necromancer.
[Dected Necromancer - Same Kind - The Necromancer there is lower in level than the caster - Familiar Language Unlocked]
[Familiar Language]
-An skill that makes the caster talk with any being who is a Necromancer.
-This skill only works with the being which has the same class as the caster
\'Ohhh!\'
Before I could learn more about this new skill, many monsters that are mostly skeletons but huge charged at me.
I immediately ordered my summons to charge at them.
But... the difference in rank showed clearly. The bigger monsters were a little slower so they weren\'t much problem, but out of 100 B-rank monsters, 70 monsters could be dealt and 30... were a little troublesome. No, a huge troublesome.
My mana drained continuously as I had to drink more mana potions.
The 30 monsters weren\'t only strong, they were fast too. They also had skills. One used claw skill that cut my summons like butter.
Some even had fireball, elemental attacks, and even gravity.
This fight even with my overnumbered troops seemed hopeless. But that wasn\'t the thing I only had.
I took out five mana and drank one. I gaze at the monster sharply and...
"Berserk!"
The moment I cast that, my whole body screamed. This was because of the lack of mana. The mana I had couldn\'t support all the monsters.
So, I drank the mana potion immediately, which eased my pain.
My whole summons emitted a red aura from their body. Their hollow eyes glowed and they all became faster.
But that wasn\'t enough to make them powerful enough to tackle the B-rank. So, I used their speed to my advantage.
I used berserk once again, and in the right corner of my eye, I saw a timer running.
[2 minutes - 1:45 seconds left]
Without wasting a minute, I gulped down another bottle of mana and cast berserk. With that, I finished my 5 mana bottle and even took another one from my bag and drank it.
I only have 3 mana potions left and my berserk time has increased to 6 minutes.
After finished drinking my mana potion, my body flowed with energy. I grinned as I took another mana potion in my hand and one near me.
One mana potion was left but I didn\'t fear. I took a deep breath, none of my summonses died now, since they are strong enough and their number is larger enough to last the B-rank monsters without dying.
But my monster couldn\'t also kill the B-rank monsters.
I send my mana inside my ring, as a magician, I can feel things using my mana, but that requires a little much mana, so not many magicians like to use this method.
But, I can\'t waver now. My fireball and magic arrow aren\'t enough to kill the B-rank monster. Their skins are soo tough that even a C rank skill merely scratches them.
That\'s why even a B-ranked hunter wouldn\'t dare to go into a B-rank dungeon alone.
My mana read all the skills I have collected, for emergencies. I didn\'t sell skills not because I didn\'t need more money, but because skills are the foundation of a hunter.
Shortly, my goal is to open my organization. But let\'s forget about that, my goal here is to finish the things here.
My mana searched all over my inventory and finally found two skills that I could use.
[Body Enchantment]
-Increase the strength and speed by 2 times
-Increase defense by 3 times
-Takes a lot of mana and lasts only 30 seconds
-Rank: C
[Light Speed]
-A skill that increases the speed by 5 times
-Takes little mana and lasts for 2 minutes
-Rank:D
"This is difficult."
I learned the skill, but using these skills requires a lot of mana and I haven\'t enough mana that I can cast this skill to 3 or 4 thousand summons.
So, next plan.
I only have 4 minutes left. So, I should do it quickly.
I took out the monster cores. I didn\'t obtain a single core from the monster here, since most of them are practically skeletons.
And I have saved 100s of cores. But they all are random.
"Oh GOD! I WILL TAKE THIS GAMBLE!"
I started consuming the cores. It would take a lot of time if I eat them. So, so I again used my mana to gobble them up.
And after 2 minutes, I gobbled it down. I also gobbled down the remaining cores that were left in my summons body, hopefully, they didn\'t drop and I didn\'t have to touch them to use them.
As long as my mana can touch it, it is the same as I was touching it. But, this can\'t be used on living beings and there are some conditions.
But, fortunately, I am at the level of C rank hunter now. Little weaker, I may say. But, I have enough mana to support all of my summonses now.
But, I need to target half of the monster to use the skill one time and drink one mana potion, and another cast the skill to another half and again drank the mana potion.
I have only one mana potion left. I use the [Light Speed] skill and again drink the mana potion. Now, I only have to put faith in my summons.
[Berserk - 1:05 seconds left
Body Enchantment - 0:25 seconds left
Light Speed - 1:57 seconds left]
This was the time left, and all my monsters were now emitting blue and red light continuously. I can\'t even see B-rank monsters now. I feel like, I am in a disco where different light is shining, but except for different lights, only blue and red is present here.
Finally, my worries disappeared. All the B-ranks died at the hands of my monsters and they joined my rank. Honestly, I didn\'t even know what happened. My eyes couldn\'t follow them at all, they were so fast.
And, if I look at the dungeon, most of the walls are broken, the floor is full of cracks and even the ceiling is broken.
"Phew!"
I breathe a sigh of relief, as I look at my 100 B-rank summons and I got a notification. I have been getting them frequently now if I have to say.
[B-rank monsters have joined the army - A new skill \'Sharable Skills\' have been unlocked]
[Sharable Skills]
-B-rank monster\'s skill can now be shared with the caster
-Caster can also share his skill with the B-rank monster
-Only eligible with the summons that has mana
[Sharp Claws - Light Body - Mana Barrier - Mana Reserve - Small Regeneration - Easier Body Control - skills have been learned]
"Wow!"
A surge of happiness rushed through my body. But... I haven\'t gained any benefits except summons in this dungeon.
I gained no money here!
So, my only hope now is that I get a treasure in this dungeon.
But... I get worked up here. And, I seemed to have gone overboard.
I am only worried about backlash tonight.
"Let\'s go to the necromancer now."
I mumble as I walked there.
I took a break for a minute. Maybe due to being a necromancer or is it my natural ability, my mana fills up much faster than others.
Well, let\'s not care about that.
I walked to the big chair which seems like a throne. A creature covering its body with a robe was sitting there like a king.
His aura was pressuring me. He seemed to be even stronger than the B-ranks. (A/N: I just added he even though the mc doesn\'t know its gender. I thought of adding it, but the Necromancer looked like a human in a sense, so I just went with him.)
T-ring!
[A lower level Necromancer detected - Death Mage detected]
"Death Mage?!"
I involuntary spit out. What is this death mage? I thought. But when I looked at the boss enemy, I saw its eyes widening.
The body of the necromancer was trembling like it has seen something unexplainable.
"L-Lord!"
"What?!"
Who is he calling lord? Before I could even process what happened, a notification completely changed my view.
