Chapter 111 Legacy Dungeon 4

What is the thing we call instinct? How does it operate? How does it work? How can you sense an attack coming from your blind spot that would make no sense for you to react?

How a warrior that held his sword, anticipated in countless fights, has the such skill?

What is the trick here?

There are no answers to those questions…..

But the game tried to come up with an explanation for that.

'Killing Intent.'

A common term that is widely used by the web novels and manhwas out there.

A term that is related to the ambitions and emotions behind your strike.

A term that is associated with those absolute masters that would make you kneel on the ground by just looking at you.

But, no matter how strong a person's killing intent is, in the end, it is nothing but a signal to alert the other person's natural instinct of fear….

Then, there is this question over here.

If you had the most perfect and precise control over the intent behind your attack, would you have been able to fake an attack?

Let me ask with other words.

Can you make a person feel that he/she is getting attacked without turning your hair, but with only your intent?

The answer is right there.

You can.

The reason why I was unable to land an attack over him, or I was able to defend the attack I sensed.

Because there was no attack there in the first place.

Because the enemy had never attacked me from there but faked his attack, making me feel like I was being targeted from my back.

And then, the moment I turned my body to defend, I actually revealed a huge opening making me unable to defend the attack that was about to come to my hand.

But, after that, the moment he understood, I thought I realized his pattern; this time, he attacked from the point where he directed his intent to me, making me unable to understand what he was doing and take extreme measures in response.

That was the thing I understood in that two seconds of time, with my brain going overdrive.

/FLINCH/

But those two seconds of time had already used the amount of time I had gained by escaping from him.

'He is coming again.'

But this time, there was one thing that I was able to do.

'I need to close my senses.'

Severing the contact between my senses and my brain.

/SWOOSH/

With my aura imbued to my body again, I dashed to the backside, trying to increase the distance.

/STAB/

However, I suddenly stabbed myself with a needle that held a strange-looking liquid over it.

'Numbing poison.'



It was a poison that would naturally make the person go numb, making their senses dull, not feeling anything.

And just like that, I slowly lost the feelings over my body at a fast speed…

The flinching feeling over my body was gone, making me not feel anything.

At that moment, I suddenly stopped not moving my body anymore.

Standing there with one hand on my sword and the other hand holding a pouch of pitch black, I was waiting.

'One….'

'Two….'

'Three….'

'Four…..'

'Now!'

Remembering the amount of time he took from his past attacks by analyzing his pattern, I started moving again.

/SPLASH/

Splashing a black liquid at a fast speed.





And there, I saw a silhouette that was covered with pitch black.

'There you are.'

/SWOOSH/

"Grrr..."

With my sword stabbing towards him by forcefully imbuing my aura over my body with blood spurting from my wounds, I tried to reach him.

/CLANK/

My sword getting deflected by a metallic sound, and he tried to open the distance again.

'I won't let you!'

"Hissss..."

With frost breath leaving my body, I took my position and aligned myself.

'Sword of Annihilation. Execution Sword.'

/SWOOSH/ /STAB/

Following him at a fast speed, I stabbed him with my sword, holding the silhouette.

"Kurgh-"

And a mouthful of silver liquid fell to the ground from the place where the silhouette could be seen.

/THUD/

Increasing the distance again after the stab, I looked at the silhouette with smoke rising over it.

/PISSS/

And soon, something was revealed from the place where I left.

A body of a monster.

A monster with metallic skin over his body.

But it is a lot more disgusting than anything I have ever seen.

With its mouths looking like a creepy smile that shows its disgusting teeth spurting saliva.

Yes, it's mouths.

There is more than one head over its body.

It was a body of a monster that was filled with faces all over there.

Some of them smiling….

Some of them pouting…..

Some of them with their eyes gouged out…..

Some of them with their mouths cut wide…..

Some of them with no nose…..

It was a scene that looked like it came straight from a horror movie…..

No sounds could be heard. Even those faces were trying to convey their feelings…

The screams of agony, the sounds of cries, those were the things that I should have heard…..

'Disgusting.'

It was an enemy I had never seen before and wished never to see again.

'I should put an end to your agony.'

'Sword of Annihilation. Waltz of Death.'

With my sword raised, I dashed to the monster.

/SLASH/ /SLASH/ /SLASH/

With my sword rapidly slashing the monster's body, I reappeared on its back.

/SPLURT/

Making it explode.

Slowly walking towards the core, the thing I saw was the second most disgusting thing out there.

It was a heart that was filled with pitch-black darkness….

From its inside, a bunch of worms was constantly getting out while trying to swallow the heart…..

"Do you wish to eat this?"

With a slight mumble, I asked to the air.

/TING!/

And as a response, the thing I got was my Nihil shaking violently.

"I thought so."

/SMASH/

Mumbling like that, I smashed the disgusting core making it disappear from this world.

/GULP/

Gulping another potion to heal my wounds, I started walking again.

'I am very close to the boss's room now. Let's finish this raid; I don't feel like staying there anymore.'

With that thought, I re-entered the streets of the abandoned city, heading towards the end of this dungeon…..
