“Hear my words dungeon, I ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of the Shadows’ Shadow imprisonment!”

“What!” Lucky I was fast enough with my incantation, the tip of his weapon managed to break through my barrier though, causing it to shatter the second it was up.

“Tsk, doesn’t matter” Aquarus readied his weapon again for another strike

“Hear my words dungeon, I ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of the Shadows’ Shadow Mist!”

“Arrr! Stay still you scum!” I let out my purple mist and managed to roll out the way of his incoming attack. I rolled over to a nearby tree and crouched behind it, I looked over to Umi who had managed to get herself behind a tree as well, but she was unable to fight, her MP was down to 10, mine was only at 20 itself.

“Come out and fight me like a man you coward!” Aquarus getting fed up shouted out

“I’m getting fed up with you calling me a coward, you’re the puny one that burnt people alive, you didn’t even have enough dignity to face them head on. Was it because you were scared! Because you are nothing more then Neptunes little dog! Nothing more than a mere bitch!” I walked out from the tree and raised my sword, I just need to hold him off long enough for Umi to get enough of her MP back to deal a finishing blow to that cursed weapon of his

“Know your place! You are talking to a God!” Aquarus gripped his weapon tighter, I was starting to get to him

“A god! Ha! Don’t make me laugh! You are the God of nothing! You are a worthless lump of trash, someone who cannot come to terms with how pathetic they are, and yet, to overcome that cowardly insecurity you betray yourself as a God? You truly are no more than a low life thug!” All my beatings and insults back on earth had some what given me the ability to get under someones skin

“YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I WILL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND THAN HAVE MY WAY WITH THAT FILTHY SEA HORSE OVER THERE!” Aquarus was fuming, I could see that eerie energy around him drastically growing

“Hear my words cursed dungeon, I ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons cursed energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of the Cursed Water’ Cursed Typhoid Water!”

A shot of brown, dirty water smacked me right in the chest, it shot out so fast I had no time to react

“Argh” I managed to stand on my feet, but collapsed to a knee. I could feel a fever already coming over me, my muscles ached, I was sweating uncontrollably and my fatigued shot through the roof

“Damn it! Get up!” I managed to pull myself up with my sword only to be sucker punched by the overgrown squid

“Is that all you have! This will be a quick death, I can’t say that for your fifth sea horse though” Aquarus looked down on me, and gave me a stomp to the gut

“Not yet!” I managed to swipe my sword and slash Aquarus’s leg, he jumped back at the shot of pain run through him

“You won’t kill me!” I shouted out, I charged towards him and gave a quick horizontal slash followed by a slash to the left and right.

“To slow” Aquarus managed to dodge all of my slashes and gave me a smack across the face with the hilt of his Cursed Fish Spear…Thats it!

“You can't kill me, you can’t even touch me with that pathetic bone stick in your hands” I got back to my feet mocking the overgrown squid

“You insolent little shit” Aquarus shot his Cursed Fish Spear towards me, just like the other times the bone spears were honing in on me

“Hear my words dungeon, I ask to be surrounded, filled and illuminated with the dungeons flowing energy, hear my plea ‘The Power of the Shadows’ Shadow Mist!”

I had used the last of my MP and was running on less than 5, my movements would be extremely slow now.

“You think that’s enough!” Aquarus laughed at my attempt to evade his attack

“No, but this is” I jumped out of the mist with my sword pointed into his chest

“Argh” I managed to slice his chest but not deeply he managed to evade it just in time, but that wasn’t my plan

“You don’t know when … ARGH!” Aquarus was impaled by his three bone Fish Spears, he fell to his knees and spat up blood.

“You won’t lay a finger on anyone I care about!” I pulled myself up with my sword and stumbled over to him

*Smack

I landed a hard right punch into the side of his mouth, I followed up with a left hook then another right and repeated until I could see his cheeks bloody and broken

“Don’t get cocky!” Aquarus shouted out in a fury of rage, I looked down to the see the three bone spears implanted into his chest dig through his skin and shoot out at me

“Argh!” I was sent flying through the air and into another tree, the bone fish spears had pierced all the way into my back and were now plunged into the tree, I was left dangling motionless, blood started to seep out of my wounds and my vision was becoming blurry.

“You may have caused a slight injury to me, but you are nothing more than a puny ant! The fact that you are a player is just offensive to this dungeon…what this” Aquarus pushed the end of his weapon through his chest and stood up, his wounds healed before my eyes, was this the power of the curse as well

“Your Gem is crystal clear, haha, now this is just perfect, not only am I going to blame the fire on you, but I will be renewed as the God, no the Hero that caught the worst criminal this dungeon has ever seen! I had already blamed the fire on you though, and I have never heard of a player with such a crystal clear Gem, you must have done something so horrible that the Dungeon couldn’t even announce it, oh! This is just perfect!” Aquarus went into a fit of sinister laughter, his plan was coming together more perfect than he had imagined, I on the other hand, was struggling to not fall unconscious

*Low Pain Nullifier Mastery-5/10

“I will be known as the Hero God! Yes! Aquarus the Hero God, all shall bow down to me!” There he goes again, blabbering on about him being a God, this man is a complete nutter

“I-I w-wouldn’t” I tired to speak up, but the only thing that came out of my mouth was another mouthful of blood

“Huh? Oh, I had totally forgotten you were there, you are just that insignificant, but, I need to kill you and keep all your limbs in tact…really, just the arm with your Gem on” Aquarus looked at me with another sinister blood lust

“F-fu o-off”

“Huh?” Aquarus looked at me confused than followed where my eyes were.

“Argh!” I had created another Grenade Seed, five in fact, with the duplication process of ten.

*BOOM, BANG, KABOOOOM

The Grenade seeds went off one after another, the explosions caused the area to be completely filled with smoke, I was blasted back and tumbled across the ground, the explosion itself didn’t harm me though, is that because it has my mana in it? The explosion kept going off for what seemed like over an hour, but in fact was only a couple of minutes, the seeds would stop duplicating once all their mana was used up.

“Hero Udon” I looked to my right to see Serena, I must have been blasted where I left her. She looked better, she seemed to have stopped shaking and her sweating was calming down as well, she also had some colour back in her face. Does that mean those explosions broke the cursed weapon

“S-stay” I was still on the verge of blacking out, my wounds hadn’t healed up and I had lost a lot of blood as well.

“You piece of shit!” I heard Aquarus shout out in the middle of the smoke, no…way…

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you and everyone you had ever spoken to!” The smoke cleared to reveal a burnt and scorched Aquarus, half of his tentacles had been burnt off and the tips were black with red flesh hanging off them, his entire left side was pitch black and it seemed his right leg had also been blown off, what left was a hideous sight, the scorched flesh was just dangling off his body, it looked liked minced meat, the smell of burnt flesh was strong enough to make Serena throw up.

“Where are you! Where! Over there!” Aquarus looked around in a fit of rage until he caught sight of me, he must be running on pure adrenaline, there is no way someone could have survived that.

“I’ll beat you to a bloody pulp with my bare hands! Than have my way with those two woman of yours right in front of you, than finish beating you until you die!”

“You won’t lay a hand on them!” I managed to grab a low hanging branch from a tree and pull myself up, he wouldn’t lay a single finger on the ones I cared for! Even if they don’t care for me, he won’t lay a single finger on them!

“Hero Udon, don’t!” Serena shouted out, I was just keeping myself up, I still had my sword in my hand, but swinging it was another story

“Sir Udon!” I saw Umi running over to me and had her Sea Trident raised at Aquarus, she appeared to be injured herself, maybe a broken leg, but she wasn’t burnt or anything, my Grenade seed must have had no effect on her too

“I’ll have my way with you first than!” Aquarus took Umi’s attack head on putting his right arm to block it. The Sea Trident implied his arm, Umi tried to pull it out, but Aquarus held onto it and smacked Umi with a hard left hook sending her to the ground

“Umi!” With all the energy I had left I managed to charge into the overgrown squid and plunged my sword deep into his spine and coming out the other end.

“Argh” Aquarus spluttered out blood as he tumbled to the ground, I fell down to my knees and pulled my sword out of him

*Short Bronze Sword Mastery-6/10

“You are no God! I will purge this dungeon of all the high and mighty pieces of shit like you!” I pushed my knee hard into his ribs and placed my sword on his neck

“T-this energy, w-what are y-you” Aquarus was now sweating bullets, his eyes full of fear, I could smell that he had wet himself and worse, was this my vicious intimidation effect? It would make sense it had no effect on him since he held a cursed weapon, but that was gone now, he was completely open to it, completely vulnerable.

“I’ll make sure you feel all the pain in the world before you finally pass” I thought maybe I could make the vicious intimidation grow even stronger, I gave him a wicked grin and opened my eyes wide, the blood was dripping off my face, my eyes were probably bloodshot, all of this made my vicious intimidation to much.

“Damn it, he passed out” What a little bitch

“Kill him! Torture him! Make him feel pain! Yes! Become the monster that you are! String him up for all to see! No one will mess with the Monster known as Udon! Succumb to the wrath you are!”

That dark voice, it was louder than ever. My sword was shaking, the tip had pierced Aquarus’s throat but that was all

“Come on Udon! Do it! He was going to kill you!” I couldn’t gain the strength to push my sword in any deeper, I hadn’t killed someone with my own hands before, this was different, taking a life this way, even the Ancient Siren sliced her own neck on my blade, but this, this will finally make me the murderer I see myself.

“Hiya”

“Huh?” I looked at the unconscious overgrown squid, to see a familiar trident pierce through his skull

“Don’t worry Sir Udon, I’m here to protect you, even from yourself” I turned to see Umi give me a faint smile as she pulled out her Sea Trident

“You weak piece of shit! Weakling! Useless! Coward! Softie! A complete waste of space!”

“…Umi, you didn't have to” I was still in shock, Umi had just killed him with ease, no, Umi took the lead and had the strength to kill him. That dark voice was right, I was nothing but a weak coward, I shouldn’t need others to clean up my mess.
