《I Became An Adventurer》Chapter 19 - Labyrinth
Advertisement
"Please don't destroy my home please!" A woman had appeared from the plants. Damion and Tsubuki had encountered the boss of the 4th floor but it had not started attacking.
"Tsubuki move why are you covering my eyes." The woman settled down and sat on top of a tree that was blocking the door to the next labyrnith floor.
"I don't sense any hostility from her." Alvollas landed on Tsubuki's head while observing the strange woman. Tsubuki went and gave the woman a cloth to cover herself up, the group now sat on the ground and they asked some questions.
"She definitely is the boss of this floor." Damion finally confirmed that the woman was the boss of this floor since he used appraisel on her. The woman explained herself that she could let them pass through to the next floor without any violence, Damion still seemed suspicious of her.
"Ah- Damion look the guild book says there can be non-hostile bosses in labyrinth." Tsubuki looked through a guild book that contained information about labyrinths, monsters and plants.
"I can give accompany you to clear this journey and information of the next boss of the 4th floor." The woman had information of the next boss of the floor. The boss of the 4th floor had willingly let Damion and Tsubuki pass to the 5th floor, the final floor before they could exit the labyrinth. Ragtark had mentioned the 5th floor's boss's name, Dante, when Damion had provoked Ragtark.
[You have reached the 5th floor, the final floor]
"An arena?" Damion and Tsubuki had entered the 5th floor that reminded them of an arena.
"Welcome mortals..." A bone-chilling voice was heard from behind by both of them but when they turned to see what it was, they found nothing.

"I'm surprised you were able to beat Ragtark!" Tsubuki was trying to locate the mana of possibly the 5th floor boss.
"I feel... A deathly aura among you." The voice continued talking.
"Are you Dante?" Damion had readied his sword and went further away from Tsubuki.
"Hmm...Ragtark that follish idiot speaking my name so openly." The voice did not answer Damion's question.
"No matter, I will dispatch of you quickly." A dark figure came from behind of Tsubuki, Damion quickly rushed to her before the figure could do anything. A great cloud of dust kicked up from Damion's sword slash.
[Elemental Enchant: Fire Blades]
Damion had grabbed Tsubuki while putting some distance between them and Dante. The clouds of dust settled back on to the floor, the dark figure had spread its wings and revealed itself.
Clap Clap Clap*
"How magnificent! What power! What finesse! I like you mortal, you'll be an interesting opponent!" A giant creature that stood around 3m with a wing span of 6m was glaring right at Damion and Tsubuki. The pressure was immense, it was like being crushed to death. Damion and Tsubuki could feel their heart clench inside.
"Everyone come out!" Damion let go of Tsubuki and summoned all his skeletons except for his dragon.
"Ragtark i'll leave Tsubuki to you, this will be my fight." Similarly when Damion felt Dante's aura, Damion let out an equally deathly aura.
[Necromancer's presence activated]
[Heightened sense activated]
[Greater strength activated]
[Iron Skin activated]
It was suddenly dark, Damion was enveloped in darkness. He could not feel anything, his senses were non-existant.
"Sense Death"
Damion was still alive but it was as if he was deaf and blind, he was also in a state of confusion. Damion's minions were also rendered useless.

"What a pity, I thought you were a little different than the rest but in the end...You're all the same." Dante had used his ultimate skill Sense Death that eliminated all sense of a person and put them in a state of confusion, the only way to counter this was to have a companion who could use high-tier dispel magic.
"Hmm...I'll finish this quick then."
"Who said this will be quick." Dante had turned around and saw Damion pointing his finger right at him.
[Fireball Compact]
A line of light pierced right through Dante, it was followed by several explosions.
"Luckily I was able to activate MInd over Body in time to counter. Who knew there was such a skill." The sudden attacks by Damion had Dante's skill to deactivate.
"Tsubuki are you alright?" Damion had gathered his minions, he felt the massive aura coming straight at him.
"How did you do it?" Dante's aura pulsed through the arena.
"Did what?" Damion smirked as he replied
"Don't mess with me! How did you get back from Sense Death?"
Dante glared at Damion with dagger-like eyes, Damion was facing an enemy that was greatly beyond his level. He knew he should not charge in recklessly, he needed to quickly defeat Dante but as from the explosion had regenerative abilites more powerful than a vampire's. Mind Over Body would only last for a few minutes, Damion still had to wait for its cooldown too.
"If you're not attacking first! I will!" Dante saw the opportunity to end Damion who was too deep in thought.
"Ezra! Lepan!" The two main Lich's of Damion skeleton's army came out and blocked Dante's attack.
"How dare a mere servant of death block my attack! Know your place!" Dante instantly vaporised the two Lichs while Damion made a tactical retreat.
"Running away Damion! How cowardly!" Dante started blasting concentrated shots of mana while Damion ran around the arena still figuring out a way to defeat Dante.
[Telepathy activated]
[Tsubuki! Use all your strength and shoot your magic at Dante!] Damion's voice echoed in Tsubuki's mind. Dante left Tsubuki as he did not consider as a threat, this was a perfect chance to catch him off guard.
"Oh great god of fire, bless me with the everlasting fire of the pheonix!" A large pillar of flame shot across the arena.
"Hmph! how arrogant of you to think that you could hit me." Dante had obviously dodged Tsubuki's attack.
"Hey don't underestimate her!" Damion had went behind Tsubuki's attack and redirected it to Dante.
"Wha-" The flame pillar had a direct hit to Dante, Damion knew that now was the chance to end it.
"Everything! Everyone pour your everything into your attack!"
[All Skills Activated: All Combo]
"Let's do this!"
[You have defeated the final boss of the labyrinth]
[Rewards will be gifted to all in the party]
Meanwhile at the 4th floor...
"Ahh, someone cleared the dungeon before me. I should've came earlier, guess i'll kill the person who cleared the labyrinth and get the rewards." A mysterious person had entered the dungeon just after Damio and Tsubuki!
