Chapter 50 - Last Boss

The kid then floated towards us, Rory and Rai moved forward to cover me. The kid then used his sword and spear to attack them. Rory was hit by the spear making him used his swords to the block the attack. Sadly, the kid's strength was higher making him be thrown out. Rai took the kid's sword attack and successfully blocked it. The kid saw this so he used his other weapon to attack Rai again but was once again blocked successfully.

Seeing this made the kid mad so he attacked Rai madly by using his spear and sword. The kid's attack was amazing and I can only feel at awe when I saw this.

I was then woken up when I saw that Rai was sustaining wounds all over his body as time pass.

"Rai move back! Let me take over!" I shouted while moving towards Rai's position.

Rai moved back while I took over his position. Nixie was still healing Rory and now has Rai to heal too. This might take awhile but thankfully I have my shadow clones with me.

"So your an Ice King too huh? Your too weak to be called an Ice King! Makes me ashamed to be called one if I have you as a rival!" The kid said while using his sword and spear at me.

His comment made me mad and feel weak. Fueled with revenge I used my shadow clones to attack him by using our arms that was covered with our signature combination. That is of course water mixed with poison and dark elements.

I didn't talk to him but continued attacking him, and what was surprising is he managed to block every move I had. The punches that he receives from me and my shadow clones was blocked by his sword and spear.

"What is this? You only learned Basic Gauntlet Arts! What a disgrace to have as an opponent!" He continued while blocking all of my attack.

I still ignored him and let him have his fun. He's maybe right that my Gauntlet Arts are only at the basic level but having 7 opponents attacking him was still making him have a hard time to attack back.

My Gauntlet Arts haven't leveled up because I was always focused on my magic skills. This made me realize my weak point. Since he can't attack back, this is also a good opportunity for me to level up my Gauntlet Arts. Having an opponent that has Advance Arts is beneficial and can help me level up my Gauntlet Arts faster.

"Everyone let me handle him for now! I'll call you all when I need help!" I shouted to the others. I can't see there reactions because I'm focused on not giving the kid a chance to make a comeback.

"If I were you I would gladly accept there help. You're so weak to be called a king anyway!" The kid retorted while giving me an annoying smile.

This kid needs a spanking to recognize his elders. His parents must have not raised this kid with manners but whatever this is only dungeon and he'll stay here forever!

'That's not true, stupid cat!' Akira commented.

'Oh now you planned to show up!' I retorted.

'Well you can manage the early monsters before but now I'm sure you're having time.' Akira said.

'Anyway to the idea you have from before that this monster can't go outside the dungeon. Actually there are rare cases that a monster can. One requirement for that is the said monster having great intelligence like this monster in front of you. And the other requirement is killing all the monsters inside the dungeon. The dungeon will then collapse and make the monster go outside.' Akira explained.

'What!? Wait did I kill all the monsters inside?' I asked.

'You didn't so don't worry.'

'Anyway I planned to pass you some of my powers again seeing you struggling like an ant! Makes me ashamed to choose you to take revenge for me.' He said while faking sadness.

'You creep give me the powers already. I was waiting for this for long enough. How about you focus on giving me close combat skills so that I can teach this kid a lesson.' I said happily.

'I won't do that! I'll just make your Gauntlet Arts and Space Magic improve by a bit since I only accumulated a bit of mana.' Akira said.

'Wait, I have asked this before where do you get the mana you need?' I asked curiously.

'Of course it's from you! When you sleep I take away some of your mana and save it for myself.'

'What!? So you were leaching off me!'

'How dare you call me that! You're the one that is leaching off me! I only took mana from you to give you skills! If you don't like it then I'll stop, you ungrateful cat!' Akira said.

'Whatever just give me the skills.' I said.

'Hmph.'

Ding!

Ding!

You Space Magic leveled up!

I was happy to hear my Gauntlet Arts going up into the Intermediate level. While I was talking with Akira earlier, I still continued my attack and this time I can feel that the kid was having a hard time blocking my attacks.

"Why do I feel like your Gauntlet Arts turned into the Intermediate level!?" Shock was written all over his face. Even I will be shocked if I face an opponent like me.

I just smiled and faced him head on. I continued my punches and after awhile, I saw an opening so I used that chance to quickly attack.

The kid moan in pain but I didn't care and continued my attack. It tried to block my attack but that one failure of blocking my attack earlier was the greatest mistake the kid had. I didn't give him the chance to block my attack anymore and continued my attack while interchanging with my shadow clones.

Suddenly, the kid went missing when I hit him again. The kid was gone like a snow. This must be his skill called Snow Illusion.

"Huh? Where did?" I said while looking around.

Something then came out of my back, it was a spear. I tried to dodge but I was too late. I was directly hit by the spear, piercing my back. The next second came a sword but this time I came prepared so I dodged it again while carrying the pierced spear on my back.

The kid was going to follow me but I used the shadow clones to distract him. While the shadow clones was distracting the kid, I quickly pulled the spear on my back while ignoring the pain. I then used Ice Heal to close the wound.

"Master Ave! Should we help already!?" I can hear Rory shouting on my back.

"Don't! I can still handle it!" I shouted back.

"But...!" Rory tried to retort back with worry on his voice but stopped immediately.

When I was done healing myself, I run towards the kid again. I then attacked it again with my fists. I can see that the kid has already healed his wounds. He looks like completely healed but I didn't care and continued my attack.

"You should just give up, and let me kill you. You're not exactly my rival." The kid laughed. I didn't bother to give a reply but just continued to attack.

This continued for an hour and right now the ice mansion is full of holes. We're currently outside of the ice mansion because of our fight. I and kid is still completely full of health. It is still a stalemate but my Intermediate Gauntlet Arts has leveled up by 3 times.

The problem right now is his Snow Illusion skill. I don't know how it works, letting him suddenly moved away from me without making me notice. I was already pierced and slashed by his weapons a couple of times.

"I'm bored with this game. Shouldn't we just finish it?" The kid asked while yawing.

This kid really needs a spanking. I immediately went into combat again while trying to read how his Snow Illusion work.

When I was fighting him, I noticed something on his body. I just notice now that many snowflakes are falling on him. This shouldn't happen even if you have Ice Domain on.

This might be his skill Snow Illusion. I can only gamble at this so I tried to look as if I didn't notice the illusion and waited when he will attack me again.

The next second I can feel his presence again on my back but this time I was prepared. While he was gonna attack me, I pierced him with water that looks like spikes from the ground. The water was mixed with poison and dark elements further damaging him. I did this trap earlier when I noticed the Snow Illusion.

"How!?..." He said but I didn't gave him chance and attacked him quickly with my shadow clones.

Since he was pierced on by my spikes, he can't dodge and took all the hits from me and my shadow clones.

This only happened for a couple of minutes until he got out of my trap and run away. He was gonna heal himself from a distance but I won't give him that chance and just attack him head on.

He then suddenly roared madly while the snow around him felt colder than before.
