Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 13: New Floors

GRrrrrrroooooooowwl

Seeing its prey fleeing from the scene, it could no longer hold onto its anger. With a deafening growl, its massive body charged towards Simon. Wind current enveloped its right claw as it ran, after which it swung its right claws towards Simon’s direction. Right now it had activated its skill [Wind Claw].

Simon felt his back tingling, and he hurriedly turned and dived into the corner. Immediately after a fierce wind brushed past his back, cleanly bisecting everything in its path. Looking at the devastation, cold drops of sweat rolled down his back. He started running again, this time crisscrossing around the trees.

The battle bear continued its charge for a while until finally, its prey halted its steps near a spiral tower. Simon looked at his back, meeting the gaze of the battle bear. He taunted with his finger and immediately went inside his dungeon. A wide rocky cave lay within, big and small rocks protruded from the ground here and there reducing the visibility somewhat.

Before starting his DP grinding, he remodeled the first floor and added another floor to his dungeon.

The battle bear came charging inside, looking left and right searching for its prey.

“Hehe, I’m over here over here you stupid bear.”

Simon waved his hand from over a large rock protrusion. This was his territory, and in here the battle bear’s movements would be limited.

The Battle Bear’s tanky frame would get in its way in this environment. Wind current started enveloping its right arm again, after a while it launched another [Wind claw] towards his direction.

“Heh, I must say that your [Wind Claw] packs quite a punch. But it is useless if it doesn’t hit.”

He ducked around a corner and easily dodged the skill. Right after he cast his magic.

“Flame Magic Mastery- [Flame spear].”

Flames gathered in large quantity and shaped themselves into a three-meter-long spear. Scorching heat emanated from the Spear as it sped forward towards the battle bear. Sensing danger through its instincts, it tried to dodge the attack.

But its tanky frame and the protruding rocks got in its way, making it unable to dodge the attack.

The flame spear squarely hit the bear right into its chest, flames igniting its body. A painful low growl came from its mouth; clearly, it took quite some damage from the attack just now. The battle bear which previously looked quite mighty now had quite a sorry appearance.

Simon clasped both his hands together and said “You are Dead.”. Immediately numerous Flame spears started appearing in the air above his head. Each of the flame spears contained as much might like the one earlier.

“Flame Magic Mastery- [Flame Spear Barrage].”

[13000 DP earned]

Killing the battle bear earned him a whopping 13,000 DP, he felt like his hard work paid off. After resting for a while, he started his exploration again. Taunting and luring the monsters to his dungeon and repeating the cycle again and again.

Simon amassed quite the amount of DP and three days quickly passed amidst this never-ending cycle.

Simon was sitting on the second floor of his dungeon. The second floor was just below the first floor, it was a hundred-meter-wide maze. The walls were quite thick, which made brute-forcing the way quite taxing.

The walls also moved and repaired themselves, which made solving it quite difficult. But this doesn’t make it impassable; there are many skills that can easily breach it such as- [Mental Mapping], [Path Finder], [Trap Detection], and more.

Right now this should be enough to stall the monsters here for quite a while. He had used 10,000 points to create this winding maze, and another 5,000 points to create a third floor. The third floor was an empty floor and was made to stop any monster that managed to breach the second floor.
