Chapter 370 - Transfer Dungeon (III)
Mimics are common in many games as a monster that disguises itself as a treasure chest. Most of the time in RPG games, they are easy to dispose of but not in the Alternate World. These little buggers are very rare to find in the game but if you ever find one, it is considered a challenge to veterans and an absolute disaster to beginner players.
They don't possess high health but they possess high defense values and have a very huge resistance to both physical and magical skills which means they are not weak to anything. Since they have around 900k for its HP, it will take a good amount of time to kill it. Of course, it can be cheesed with destroying the chest itself by bombarding it with explosive skills that can either pierce defense or other skills that ignore defenses and break it immediately, if you don't need the treasure inside the Mimic itself.
Despite being a monster, the Mimic is still a treasure chest before it became a monster and if it was successfully not triggered, it will be just a normal treasure chest. It is a big challenge to not destroy the Mimic itself as the treasure we wanted to get is present inside the Mimic itself, making it a priority to just knock out the monster rather than defeat it with brute force, causing it to break to pieces which will also be resulting from the treasure inside to break.
And due to that little problem, I can't instantly defeat it with just the pistol that can easily defeat this thing.
"Your greediness really made us in trouble and more wasted time, Hagane!" Dolly grit her teeth in frustration.
"Well, I don't know that it will do something like that! You also can't blame me! You almost touched the treasure chest yourself before I touched it! So if I didn't touch it, you will be the one to blame instead!"
I quickly stopped their quarrels by going in between them. "Stop quarreling guys, we have an enemy to defeat. You can quarrel all you want later but not now."
Despite being pissed, I can tell they are not really that angry at each other, more like they are a bit frustrated that the chest became a monster before they can open it. It's not really something serious and it just shows that they are expecting more of a treasure rather than a treasure turned into a monster.
"Don't use any strong magic that can immediately destroy the chest. If we did not destroy the Mimic, we can still recover the treasure that it should have contained before it turned into a monster. Just bombard it with some debuffs that will lower its defenses then we can attack it slowly with normal attacks."
Mother grinned and pulled out several bottles from her sleeve. "Looks like it was my time to shine!"
Dolly and Topaz looked at each other before they smiled and raised their staffs towards the Mimic.
Dolly, Topaz, and Mother started to bombard it with debuffs.
"Son. should I also go and attack too?" Father asked.
"Just do some basic punches and don't use the skills. There is a chance it will break the chest if you used the skills of the Fighter class which has lots of skills that causes explosive attacks!"
"Got it!" Father immediately understood and immediately pummelled it with his punches like a boxer after everyone poured down debuffs on it.
I also decided to debuff it with my Chronomancer skill, [Time Hollow] too. Iron and Hagane are still the ones that attract the attacks of the Mimic since the Mimic hits hard for a treasure chest that turned into a monster. If any of those attacks hit either Dolly, Topaz, or even Mother, they would immediately get killed in the process and since Father is also a lower leveled player, he needs to act carefully to avoid being killed by its attacks.
With all the debuff it has, I just needed to bash it with staff and I can still deal quite a damage from it without breaking it to pieces.
"HUP!"
BONK!
-Title effects activated. Instant Death inflicted.
-You have killed a Mimic. Received 120,000 EXP. (Title effects activated, 120,000 EXP earned)
...
...
A string of messages appeared before my eyes and I was stupefied by the result. I was planning to give the kill to my parents or to the others for them to earn more experience to level up but what the hell, the Instant Death proc during the time I don't want it to proc! This was not supposed to be the plan!
"Huh? Did it die? What did you just do Bladeheart? I thought you are giving us the kill, but why did you kill it instead?" Mother seems confused.
"Ah..." I have no words to explain what happened. No one knows I have a small chance to proc Instant Death so I don't even know how to explain it.
"Perhaps the excessive amount of debuffs you guys poured into the poor monster plus the high level and strong weapon of our son resulted to an easy death. And it was much better since we still earned experience and killed the monster. The chest is not broken too so it's still considered as a win," Father grinned.
Mother decided to believe in Father's theory. It's good so why not?
Since I killed the Mimic, I let them open the chest. And since the Mimic was killed, the other treasure chests available that did not transform are also safe to open. I abstain from obtaining any of the treasure in compensation for killing the Mimic. I also felt bad that the precious experience that my companions should have received was all gone in a drain.
They keep on trying to give me some of the treasure but I decided to not take any. It might have some useful stats but they are useless to me and I can make some equipment like that once I got the right materials and high enough level on my profession and that would be enough. It would be more beneficial if any of them gets it instead of me.
After getting all the loot from the treasure chests including the Mimic, we stepped back to the portal and we were sent back to where we came from.
"I will be in charge of healing and on navigation inside this dungeon instead of helping with the attacking and I will just support or perform the kills if you guys are having a hard time, I will not act like earlier that will result in kill steal. I presume you guys can do that alright?"
"That is for the best, Big Brother. With you as the strongest out of all of us, the enemies won't even stand a chance against you, they might even get the worst treatment than the Mimic earlier," Topaz giggled.
I can only scratch my head as no one knows that I can inflict Instant Death and since inflicting Instant Death is only affected by probability as the chances to proc it is very low, I can't even rely on it due to how unpredictable it is. Sure, it saved me a few times but it was most likely just a probability of luck that I managed to even do that. So it is better for them to not know about it so that they won't rely on that I can easily proc it due to how I have no control of when it will be activated in the process.
Since the secret room is already done, time to look for the next portal.

The next battles were quickly done and with my flawless navigation to the dungeon, we arrived at the final boss without a problem and my companions began to bash and attack the boss. I just stood there and performed some healing, especially on my Father who is the one performing melee attacks on the boss. Despite Hagane and Iron getting the aggro of the boss, it's not like it is not like they can always keep the aggro from the boss especially if Father unleashes his skills. Though Father's class is tanky, if you compare it to a huge level monster and a low leveled player, they don't even stand a single chance of living if they stood there while the boss will do a combo.
Thankfully, since my Father is a gamer and a calculated guy at that, he retreats before his health gets to critical levels, allowing him to survive. That's where I go heal him and the two paladins will then provoke the boss. allowing Dolly, Mother, and Topaz to attack again without taking all the aggro.
With my skills being potent to keep Father alive even if the attack can surely kill him, I can just cast a [Resucitation] to him to be revived in the process.. And in the end, the Transfer Dungeon Abyss Level run is completed.
