《Fantasial Apocalypse》Chapter 149: [ Soul Stone ]
Advertisement
“You say some big words…” The Bald Axe Warrior muttered coldly. “Why don’t I find out where that confidence comes from?”
"You are not my equal..." Allen smiled. “So better stop it…”
"Ha! how arrogant.” The Bald Axe Warrior sneered. “There are countless loudmouths like you out there, but not one of them managed to stand before me again, after a fight!”
The Bald Axe Warrior swung his Axe and immediately, flames enveloped the blade.
Looking at him, Allen couldn’t help but sigh. “Idiot… Even beasts and monsters can sense the power difference between them and their opponent… how can humans failed to do so?”
Before the Bald Axe Warrior could move, Allen disappeared.
“What?!” Shock, the Bald Axe Warrior immediately tried to look for him.
Bugaa-!? He was suddenly kicked in his stomach, sending him flying away.
Spitting a mouthful of blood, the Bald Axe Warrior’s mind filled with confusion. Just what happened?!
It all happened in an instant. Before he noticed, Allen was already in front of him, his leg inches away from his stomach.
He felt like a truck crashed on his abdomen. It was extremely painful that he was losing his consciousness with just one kick.
The Bald Axe Warrior coughed for a long time. His vision blurry from the pain.
"How unfortunate, big guy. I'm not like those amateur Superhumans."
The Bald Axe Warrior raised his head and looked at Allen, shock. He tried to move, reaching out for his Axe.
"I get no joy out of beating someone like you so I’ll just ignore this matter as if this never happened,” Allen said coldly, “However if you really want to fight, I don’t mind playing with you.”
“But, prepare yourself to die…” Allen said while looking down at him.
Killing intent gushed out like a Dam bursting. The Bald Axe Warrior felt as if he was in cold cave, chilling and icy cold!
His body couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
Even if his level is considered high, Allen’s aura is enough to terrify every Superhuman, after all, it was the combination of many terrible monsters; Monster King’s Prestige, Devil’s aura, and Dragon’s innate supreme presence.
And with his killing intent? Normal humans would immediately die in fear.
The Bald Axe Warrior was shocked for a sec, but said coldly, “Hmph! Just because you are strong doesn’t mean you are a King! Do you think I would fear you?”

“Do as you please...” Allen sighed helplessly and turned around. He then started walking towards the Dungeon Entrance, “… And I'll do the same.”
The Bald Axe Warrior looked at Allen’s back but he didn’t do anything. He now realized the black clothed youth’s strength isn’t something he can compare.
This caused him to feel dejected. A Lv4 Superhuman like him was actually weaker compared to a teenager like him?
How is that possible? He was always grinding his skills and levels in this Dungeon and yet…
"I am being pressured? Ridiculous...!"
The Bald Axe Warrior couldn’t help but feel complicated.
Sighing, he then followed Allen to the Dungeon.
--- ---
The moment Allen entered the Dungeon, he was immediately struck by an oppressive feeling.
Dark Aura.
As he was holding Osiris power, Dark Aura was nothing to him, in fact, he felt as if he was at home. However, to normal Superhumans, this would be an extremely uncomfortable feeling as if you were being watched by something terrifying.
“But it stinks…” Allen frowned.
A smell of rotting corpses.
After entering the Dungeon, there was a stair going downward. It was in a spiral form so Allen called it Spiral staircase to Hell… for fun...
Allen looked all around him and discovered that he was already underground.
The entire place was like a graveyard, and the surrounding environment was also filled with bleak and desolate atmosphere.
There were broken and ancient looking gravestones.
Not too far away, Allen could see some undead walking around.
A Ghoul noticed Allen’s appearance. It then immediately rushed towards him.
Just like he was going for a walk, in front of the Ghoul that was rushing at him at an incredible speed, jumping walls like some sort of Spiderman, Allen leisurely shot it with a fireball made of blue flames.
The Ghoul let out a shrieked and fell to the ground, enveloped by blue colored flames.
Blue colored flames were completely different from Red colored flames such as the Bald Axe Warrior’s Axe ability. It was stronger and more deadly compared to it, after all, it’s from a [ Luan Bird ]!
It didn’t take a few minutes and the Ghoul had already burned to ashes, leaving a small red magic stone.
It was small and only at the size of a pebble.
[ Soul Stone – A fragment of a Soul Orb. ]
Soul Orb? What the heck is that?

The moment Allen picked up the red stone, a prompt window appeared. This was one of the features Dungeons only have.
It gives off the feeling that you were inside a Game world.
Unfortunately, only items and Monsters found inside the Dungeon will cause a prompt description. Status and items from outside the Dungeon won’t have any…
Huh, what a pity… Allen sighed in regret. He wouldn't be able to appraise the glove Alkrasha gave him…
Allen stores the Soul Stone in the storage bag and continued on his way. “Welcome to the Game World,” he felt like saying…
--- ---
Normal people even Superhumans tend to be more careful inside an unfamiliar Dungeon. No matter how low the class of the Dungeon is, it’s only natural to be more cautious.
Being killed once means you are forever dead! No matter how Game-like it is, this is still a reality and you won’t revive when you died!
In this unfamiliar and dangerous environment, anyone has no choice but to be extremely cautious.
But, Allen didn’t share that kind of sentiment.
He strolls the place as if he owns it. Burn and explodes monsters as if he was just greeting them.
This sight made the Bald Axe Warrior who secretly followed Allen to be extremely dumbfounded!
He had been here a few days already. He made plans, tricks and anything he could use to safely hunt Ghouls.
He was extremely careful because Ghouls are not weak monsters!
Other than the undead aura that would cause anyone to feel weak and fear, Ghouls are faster and stronger like rabid beasts! Their claws can tear steels as if it was nothing… and he learned that lesson, in a very hard way~
That is why he came up with a plan to trick them by going outside where the sunlight blinds them and caused their enhanced senses to dull.
As of now, he acquired 16 Soul Stones, meaning he had hunted 16 Ghouls within just a few days. Other than Souls Stones, he also luckily acquired one tattered skill book and two ancient looking swords and one old steel shield.
For him, it was great gains. He managed to sell the swords for some convenient items and stored the shield somewhere for future use.
However, the youth’s actions in front of him right now seemed to mock his sufferings.
Killing Ghouls as if it was nothing… and what the heck is that blue flame? Isn’t that too powerful? One attack and the Ghoul died?!
Is he still a human? How can he be so powerful?!
--- ---
After advancing for more than 10 minutes, Allen suddenly heard a sound from above him.
Hearing this sound, Allen couldn’t help but to raise his head and look over. Then above his head, he saw a huge bird type blood beast that was flying towards him by flapping its huge wings.
Its entire body was almost that of a skeleton with only a few parts with flesh remaining. Even its head has almost degraded into a skull with a bone beak that looks extremely sharp.
Ding! [ You have encountered an Elite Monster! ] A notification prompt resounded.
[ Undead Vulture Lv4 – A monster that likes to feast on flesh and bones. Its beak could pierce through anything and its sharp talons could tear apart steel. ]
And after it arrived above Allen, it immediately waved its sharp pointed claws towards his head.
Allen didn’t do anything and simply raised a hand, catching the bird’s bone like talons. Blue colored flames enveloped his arm.
The vulture shrieks in pain as it tried taking back its almost scorched talons, wildly flapping its wings. However, no matter how hard it tries, it just couldn’t fly away from Allen’s hold.
The blue flames gradually died down until it faded. Allen clenched his fist which was holding the bird’s leg and slams it on the ground. A small depression was created.
Allen didn’t want to kill it, in fact, he wanted to steal it...
Black shadows enveloped his arm this time. The black shadows were creepy as hell as it slowly creped on the struggling monster bird until it has completely enveloped its entire body.
The Undead Vulture struggles as if it was suffocated but as time passed by, its resistance gradually became weaker and weaker until it finally stays still.
Ding! [ You have successfully acquired Undead Vulture Lv4! ]
Allen summoned his Summoning Grimoire and stored the Undead Vulture in the black page. He had lost a Kraken so now; he still had two undead monsters. One Giant squid and a Vulture.
Ding! [ As you have successfully conquered an Elite monster, you have acquired .8% bonus Experience Points. ]
Ding! [ You have acquired 2.3% Experience Points! ]
