ALL NOVEL Chapter 61: Manticores
It's been 2 hours and 21 minutes since the raid started.
"Just who the hell is this guy?"
"Why is he wearing a mask?"
"He alone is clearing all the floors."
[Floor 664 Cleared. Please Proceed Through The Door To Enter Floor 665]
When the raid started, there were 1183 players. Currently, only 12 players are left, including Das. They all entered floor 665.
Skill Sprinter is on 1 hour and 43 minutes cool down. Skill Harden is on 1 minute and 6-second cool down. After they cleared floor 500, all the beds had a boss.
"There are 8 minutes left for the raid to end," one of the players said.
"Who is the boss on this floor?"
"Hey, look at that..."
"It's the manticores again."
The monster repeats after every 50 floors, but they get stronger every time. It's the 12th time for the manticore."
[Be careful, Adas. You have trouble defeating them every time]
"They are just too fast."
Three manticores are standing at the entrance of the caves. One manticore roared, followed by the other two.
[They are about to attack]
"Yeah. I am ready---"
One of the manticores dashed at him with a speed that the human eye can't follow. Das was sent flying, and he slammed into the wall. His arm, which was holding the sword, is lying in the centre of the room.
[Adas! Are you okay?]
"My hand...it hurts. They are too fast; I can't---"
[Watch out, Adas]
The other manticore dashed at him, aiming for his neck.
[Use your Harden skill]
[Skill Harden Activated]
The manticore trapped Das's left hand in its jaws, gnawing it. The Harden skill did harden his body, but the manticore teeth pierced his skin. Das's right hand disappeared from the floor, and now it's regenerating, but the sword is still on the floor.
The third manticore was killing other players. The manticore is so fast that they don't even get a chance to block its attack. The manticore killed five players at once, leaving the remaining six players who were injured as well.
Das's right hand is almost regenerated, but he can't move because the manticore is still gnawing his left hand. The other manticore dashed at him...
[Adas!]
His sword was lying on the floor, in the centre of the room; he couldn't move. If the other manticore attacks him, he will die in one hit.
"Hey, what's that?"
"His sword is emitting black fire!"
"He is not even holding the sword; what type of skill is that?"
Das's sword was emitting black fire. The fire was sucked by Das's right hand. When the fire touched Das's hand, it changed into a red mist, like a fog, like the fire's remains.
Das's punch sent the manticore flying. The manticore dashed at full speed but was sent flying at double speed with Das's force. The manticore who was sent flying slammed against the wall and shattered it. The mist from Das's hand disappeared after.
He held the jaws of the manticore who had been gnawing his left hand and tore apart its mouth, ripping the manticore's body into two halves.
"Now there is only one left," said Das.
The last manticore dashed at Das; Das dashed at his sword, which was lying on the floor. The manticore was faster. He jumped at Das, Das slid down between the manticore's legs and grabbed his sword, jumped on top of the manticore, and stabbed it in the head.
