Extra's Magic

Chapter 190 Entering The Shadow Dungeon



For hours, I remained perched on the rooftop, my gaze fixed on the enigmatic creature guarding the entrance to the Shadow Dungeon. The creature hadn't moved an inch since I first spotted it, and that fact alone was starting to grate on my nerves. I had hoped to observe some hint of its intentions, some sign that it was aware of my presence, but it seemed content to simply lie there in an eerie stillness.

Tap... Tap...

My fingers tapped impatiently against the rooftop as I watched, frustration bubbling up within me.

What was this creature's purpose?

Why was it guarding the entrance so diligently?

And why hadn't it reacted to my presence?

Shouldn't it attack me on sight?

These questions swirled in my mind, each unanswered query adding to my irritation.

As the moon began its slow descent, casting longer shadows across the village, I found my patience waning. I had spent hours observing this creature, hoping for some sort of movement or reaction, but it remained obstinately motionless.

My inner thoughts were a whirlwind of frustration and determination. If the creature wouldn't make the first move, then perhaps I needed to take matters into my own hands. With a deep breath, I considered my options. Should I attempt to fight with it? Or should I simply try to bypass it and enter the portal?

Frustration gnawed at me as I ruffled my hair in a tense gesture. It was as if the creature's unmoving presence was mocking my impatience.

Huff...

With a sigh, I made up my mind. It was time to confront the creature directly. Slowly, I lowered myself from the rooftop, my boots landing softly on the uneven ground. The portal to the Shadow Dungeon shimmered behind the enigmatic guardian, its mysterious depths beckoning to me.

My steps were measured as I approached the creature, its form becoming clearer as I drew nearer. It was a strange amalgamation of shadow and substance, its presence both ethereal and solid. The creature's luminous eyes remained fixed on me, a penetrating gaze that seemed to weigh my very soul.

Whoosh...

Summoning my Authority, I felt the familiar weight of the longsword in my hand. The blade gleamed in the moonlight, ready for whatever challenge lay ahead. I couldn't shake the feeling that this encounter might escalate into a battle, and I needed to be prepared.

As I stood a few paces away from the creature, I tightened my grip on my Authority, the leather of my glove creaking slightly in response. A surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins, my heart pounding in my chest. This was a pivotal moment – a moment where I would either prove my worth or succumb to the unknown.

With a deep breath, I spoke aloud, my voice steady despite the nerves that fluttered within me.

"Move out of the way or else..."

The creature's eyes seemed to shimmer with a flicker of understanding, and for a moment, I thought I saw a hint of approval in its gaze. But then, to my surprise, its form began to shift once again. The shadows around it seemed to dance, merging and swirling in a hypnotic display.

In response, I tightened my grip on my Authority, my stance shifting into one of readiness. I wasn't sure what the creature was planning, but I couldn't afford to let my guard down. The seconds stretched on, the tension in the air growing palpable.

As the tension in the air grew thicker, I could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me. The creature's form continued to shift and swirl, the shadows around it seeming to come alive in response to its movements. It was as if the very environment was responding to the creature's will, heightening the anticipation of our impending clash.

My grip on my Authority tightened further, my knuckles turning white. The creature's display of power was both mesmerizing and unsettling, and I steeled myself for whatever challenge it was about to present.

Swish...

The creature's luminous eyes remained fixed on me, its gaze unyielding. And then, in a sudden burst of movement, it lunged forward, its form elongating as it flowed like liquid shadow. I barely had time to react as it closed the distance between us with unnatural speed.

I leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the creature's attack. Its form passed through the space I had occupied just moments before, and I felt a shiver run down my spine at the realization of how close I had come to being struck. The creature's movements were fluid and unpredictable, its form defying the laws of the physical world.

Swish...

As I landed, I swung my Authority in a wide arc, aiming to catch the creature off guard. But it anticipated my move, its form morphing and shifting to evade my attack. My blade sliced through nothing but air, and I quickly regained my footing, my muscles tensed for the next onslaught.

However, the creature didn't pause, its movements were a dance of shadows and light. It lunged at me again, its form coalescing into a solid shape just before impact. I managed to raise my Authority in time to block its strike, the clash of our weapons ringing out in the night air.

Clank...

The impact sent a shockwave through my arms, and I gritted my teeth against the force of the blow. The creature was stronger than I had anticipated, its attacks carrying a weight that seemed almost otherworldly. It was as if it drew its strength from the very shadows that surrounded us.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

We disengaged, creating a brief gap between us. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins, my heart pounding as I assessed the situation. The creature's luminous eyes met mine, and for a moment, it felt as if we were locked in a battle of wills as much as a physical clash.

"Fucking bastard..."

With a determined exhale, I lunged forward, my blade arcing in a calculated strike. The creature met my attack head-on, its form shifting and rippling to absorb the impact. The clash of our weapons reverberated through the air, the sound echoing like a thunderclap.

Clank... Clank...

Again and again, we exchanged blows, each clash accompanied by a burst of energy that seemed to ripple through the very fabric of reality. The area became a battleground of light and shadow, the dance of our movements almost hypnotic in its intensity.

I focused on the rhythm of our battle, on the ebb and flow of our exchanges. The creature's movements were unpredictable, its attacks coming from angles I hadn't anticipated. But I adapted, my instincts guiding me as I countered its strikes with precision and determination.

The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows that seemed to stretch and twist with our movements. My breath came in ragged bursts, and my muscles burned from the exertion. But I pushed forward, my resolve unyielding.

As the battle raged on, I could sense the creature's frustration. It had likely expected me to back down or be overwhelmed, but I wasn't about to give in.

The clash of our weapons continued, the force of our blows creating shockwaves that reverberated through the night.

And then, in a moment of sheer determination, I launched a series of rapid strikes, each blow calculated to exploit weaknesses in the creature's form. My efforts paid off, and I felt a surge of satisfaction as my blade finally landed true, striking the creature's side.

Hiss...

A hiss of pain escaped the creature's shadowy form, and it staggered back. Its luminous eyes met mine once more, a mixture of defiance and respect in its gaze.

The battle had taken its toll on both of us, and it was clear that neither side was willing to back down.

With renewed resolve, I readied my stance, my grip on my Authority unwavering. The creature mirrored my movements, its form shifting and swirling in response.

"Move..."

I urged the Shadow once again, hoping to avoid spending unnecessary time and energy in this deadly dance, however, the creature refused to yield.

"Very well..."

I muttered under my breath, my frustration fueling my determination. If the creature was intent on this battle, then I would see it through to the end.

The creature's form shifted once more, its luminous eyes narrowing as it prepared for our next exchange. I could feel the tension in the air, the weight of our clash hanging between us like a palpable force. With a fierce resolve, I lunged forward, my blade cutting through the air as I aimed for the creature's center.

It countered my attack with agility, its form rippling and shifting to evade my strike. The dance of our battle continued, each movement precise and calculated. We circled each other, our movements a blur of shadow and light as we sought an opening in the other's defenses.

And then, in a split second, an opportunity presented itself. The creature's form wavered, its focus momentarily faltering. With a surge of adrenaline, I seized the opening, my blade finding its mark. The Authority sliced through the creature's form, and a resounding hiss filled the air as it recoiled in pain.

However, before it could recover, I lunged forward once again.

In a final, decisive strike, my blade pierced through the heart of the creature's form. Its luminous eyes met mine one last time, a mixture of resignation and something akin to gratitude in its gaze. And then, with a final shimmer, the creature dissolved into shadows, its presence fading from the area.

"Finally..."

Tap... Tap...

With cautious steps, I approached the portal, my grip on my Authority still tight. I didn't know what awaited me within the dungeon's depths, but I was ready to face whatever challenges and revelations were in store.

As I crossed the threshold, the world around me twisted and shifted, the boundaries of reality warping. I was plunged into darkness, surrounded by an otherworldly energy that sent shivers down my spine.
