Chapter 11 Building Walls [2]
As I approach, I witness a terrifying scene: an elf being dismembered by a blue-colored spider-like monster with multiple black eyes.
The monster's teeth tear the elf into pieces, and I see legs, entrails, and bones being ripped and broken as if they were paper.
"Zoshhhh!"
Without hesitation, I quickly raise a small wall of two stone blocks in front of me, protecting myself from an acid spit that hits the barrier I created.
With my energy pistol in hand, I direct the focus of my shots against the diabolical monster.
"Zioommn!"
I unleash an uninterrupted barrage of energy, relentlessly piercing the creature. The monster writhes and screams in pain before exploding into a pool of blue blood. Keeping a safe distance, I remain vigilant of my surroundings, aware that other monsters may be nearby.
My eyes catch a blue glow amidst the wreckage of the slain monster. I kneel down and reach out to grab the object, revealing a health potion. I read the description, and a satisfied smile forms on my face. This item will be valuable for restoring my energy and healing wounds in times of need.
[Health Potion] (x1)
[Description]: Recovers your injuries and restores your body, this item will not work if you are dead.
However, my celebration is abruptly interrupted as I realize that my joy has attracted the attention of other monsters inhabiting the underground. Without wasting time, I open my inventory and take out some fire torches I had created earlier. I fix the torches on the cave wall, spreading a bright light and illuminating the surroundings, revealing every dark corner.
[Slay all the irrational monsters in the area!]
[Reward]: [Generated randomly.]
With the fire torches lighting the way, I continue to explore the cave, alert to any suspicious movement. It doesn't take long for me to come across three more monstrous creatures emerging from the shadows. Their grotesque and threatening forms indicate that the battle is about to intensify.
Without hesitation, I raise my energy pistol and start firing at the monsters, unleashing cutting energy shots that slice through the air with a sharp sound.
"Zioon!" "Zioon!"
The luminous projectiles find their targets, hitting the creatures with precision. The sound of the strikes resonates in the cave, mixing with the echoes of the energy explosions.
However, my attention momentarily falters, and one of the creatures seizes this opportunity to deliver a powerful blow in my direction. I feel the force of the impact tearing through my skin, causing excruciating pain.
"Bang!"
Instinctively, I open my inventory and find the life recovery potion I obtained earlier. Without wasting time, I drink it voraciously, feeling its healing properties take effect instantly.
A wave of revitalizing energy courses through my body, soothing the pain and restoring my strength. I feel rejuvenated, ready to continue the fight.
Firm and determined, I resume the attacks, focusing my aim and unleashing bursts of energy against the creatures, each shot accompanied by the distinctive sound of the shots cutting through the air and striking the targets with lethal precision.
"Zioonnnmn!"
The battle unfolds intensely in the cave, with the sounds of clashes echoing through the rocky walls. With each shot, with each blow received, I feel adrenaline pulsing in my veins, driving me to surpass my limits. The resilience of the creatures is notable, but with my unwavering determination and honed skills, I gradually weaken them.
As the confrontation intensifies, my determination remains unshaken. Every energy shot, every agile evasion of enemy strikes, brings me closer to victory.
The fight is fierce, but I refuse to give in. With each strategic move, each calculated action, I am determined to prevail over the creatures that have challenged my presence in this cave.
The sound of energetic shots continues to echo, blending with the grunts and roars of the wounded creatures. With skill and determination, I advance relentlessly, launching myself into a true massacre against the increasingly weakened enemies. The fate of these creatures is inevitably approaching, sealed by my relentless objective.
As the battle nears its end, my confidence remains unshaken, and the monsters begin to retreat as they now see me as a carnivorous predator rather than an herbivorous creature.
After successfully defeating the creatures, the smell of burnt flesh and blue blood fills the entire cave. The bodies of the monsters lie on the ground, and I take the opportunity to examine the items they left behind. Carefully, I squat down next to the first slain monster and collect the objects near it.
Near me, I find a peculiar book titled "Book of Skill (Acid Conjuration) (Lv1) - (x1)." I am intrigued by its potential. It is revealed that the book grants the user the ability to conjure acid, with the power of conjuration increasing according to the level of the acquired skill.
Fascinated by the possibilities, I store the book in a secure compartment in my inventory, determined to explore this new skill when the appropriate moment comes.
Ding! Ding!
[The mission was completed successfully!]
Congratulations, user! You have received an [Energy Crystal Gauntlet].
[Description]: The Arcane Energy Gauntlet is a powerful enchanted relic that grants the user the ability to manipulate magic. Its elegant and meticulously crafted design reveals the perfect fusion of magical technology and the artistry of mystical craftsmen.
Once again, in front of me, space folds, creating a portal. I feel its smooth and metallic texture. It was a black crystal gauntlet with carefully crafted red lines and a subtle glow. The back of the hand was reinforced with metal plates, adding a sense of protection and resilience, revealing a small hole that requires a magic crystal.
Carefully, I slid my fingers into each of the designated spaces. I adjusted the position of my fingers, ensuring they were snug and comfortable. The gauntlet molded perfectly to the shape of my hand, providing a sense of firmness and control.
Next, I slid my right hand into the gauntlet, feeling the smoothness of the inner lining. It was soft and pleasant to the touch, making me feel protected and comfortable at the same time. I adjusted the position of the gauntlet, making sure it was properly aligned with my wrists.
As I wrapped my fingers around the gauntlet, I felt a pulsating energy flow through my arm. It was as if the gauntlet carried a very faint electric current.
