Chapter 13: Call from the Heaven!!!

I didn't know what to feel right now. I was becoming more and more sure of that. I was glad that it woke me up from my dreams but I would only feel sad when I thought what it was. I took a deep breath and thought that me worrying about it wouldn't change the situation. It was what it was. I knew that I can't change anything if that was true. So, I took a deep breath and calmed myself and focused on the remaining trials.

Like in the 1st trial, a new monster appeared in this trial.

Aesmirth

HP:10,000/10,000 MP:1,000/1,000

The monster looked like a demon from hell. It had two horns like that of a goat on its head, a muscular body like that of the human except for the fact that it had four hands, each wielding a sword.

I observed it with my . Maybe it was because it was a Lord-ranked monster, I didn't see its weakness at the description.

Looking back at all the experiences, I had felt that the one who attacked at first had advantage as well as disadvantage. They would be the one to start the offensive. They could lead the fight while they could also show an obvious flaw. So, I waited for it to attack me to take advantage of that flaw. I had full confidence in my agility all the more after it was boosted.

Maybe it felt what I was thinking, it rushed at me next moment. It attacked me when it was 1 meter ahead of me. I dodged it and was about to counter, when I felt another strike lunging at me. I focused at it and deflected. I didn't get a moment to counter again when I felt the same thing. Having four arms and being able to use them swiftly was really a big advantage over two arms. But I wasn't one to be messed with either.

I raised my speed to the limit and lunged at it with a triple cut.

-150

-300

I followed up with a chop but it blocked it. I was shocked but I calmed myself next moment. I was still in the fight and it wasn't strange for it to block it. I backed a bit, unequipped the sword and equipped my bow instantly and fired three arrows at it.

-100

-120

-150

All three arrows hit at the same place. Arrows would disappear after hitting the target.

I didn't stop for a moment and rushed at it again with at hand. I attacked it with a triple cut at the part where it was struck with an arrow.

-180

I smirked when I saw the additional damage. It was as I had thought. I followed up with a fireball.

-50

I was shocked when I saw the pitiful damage. Well… it must have high fire resistance I thought. Next moment, it roared and slammed its four empty hands at the floor.

The roar shocked me and immobilized me.

When it slammed its four hands at the floor, a terrifying power wave was created with it. It blasted everything along with me.

For the first time, I was sent flying away like that.

-500

The wave took away almost the half of my HP with a single attack. Well… two actually but they were like combos. I was able to move the next moment but I didn't walk out the rubble. I knew that it couldn't see my position as I was covered by the dusts completely because of the explosion.

I equipped the bow, aimed at its head with . Fortunately, I was right in front of it inside the dusts. Even when it was moving towards me, I didn't have to adjust my aim. I fired all the three arrows at the same place right on its eyes.

-200

-220

-400

With that I was sure that, it lost its one eye. It could restore 100 HP every 2 seconds. But my damage was enough to more than finish it. I just needed to be safe from its roar and that powerful wave.

I followed up with the fireball. It was already wary of me. But after losing one eye, it lost some of its combat ability. It dodged the fireball.

I rushed towards it and continuously threw slashes, triple cuts and chops. It would dodge some, deflect some but most of my attacks were hitting it. I was able to dodge its attacks easily this time because its attacks lost its sharpness after losing the 3rd eye. (3rd eye meant the one in the middle, the odd one)

-100

-150

I didn't allow it to retaliate and finished it up soon.

When it had a little HP remaining, it roared and again slammed down its hand.

The 3rd eye was really its boosting power I thought. After losing the eye, it lost so many things.

-400

The wave was also a bit weaker and it took only 400 HP. Well… it was almost half of my health still. I was remained with only 220 HP when I finished it off.

<10 TP obtained>

I rested until my HP became full. It took me some time as had pitiful endurance. Fortunately, one could rest as much as one desired between the trials.

<5th stage beginning>

The 5th stage was beginning in a different way than others. I wondered if it was because of the increase in difficulty or what.

Ting

Ring

I heard a ringing noise. More than a noise, it sounded like a ringtone actually. It was coming from my system. I didn't know that it could be also used as a mobile phone. I could guess what it was about and thought that my conjecture was actually correct after all. I heard a strange voice coming from the other end. It sounded like it had a will of its own. It was majestic and divine. Like if it ordered me to kill myself, I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

This feeling all the more confirmed me of my thoughts.

The voice said.

I couldn't even distinguish if it was a male voice or female voice. But I could still detect an excitement from the voice.

I listened with a strange feeling. I didn't know what to say. But I could guess who it was or make some theories.

"I know. I was just shocked at first to realize that we aren't even real. That all my life is in the control of others. But I won't let them to be in control all my life. You just tell me if there is a way for me to be free from their controls." I asked. I didn't enquire who they were as even the voice also may not know. I now knew that whoever they were, they were behind the appearance of the dungeon. Our lives, our homes, our Earth, everything was in their control.

The voice said.
