Chapter 35 - The Boss Room
Kevin didn't have time to answer him, Axel was already gone like a rocket, and in just a few seconds they had already returned to the main gallery.
Axel took the opportunity to go around the walls running on them, and thanks to this new speed he could even continue to run on the ceiling without feeling the weight of gravity, it was completely exhilarating and judging by Kevin's enthusiastic screams he wasn't the only one who enjoyed this moment.
Axel finally slowed down and he entered the second gallery, the one where the boss was. On this side there was only one tunnel and all the monsters were gathered in one place.
All the way, he kept his eyes wide open in case there were any other wonders like the Nerudium, but he found nothing.
He finally stopped in front of the entrance to the boss room which was closed by two large dark red wooden doors and huge handles that appeared to be gold.
He put Kevin on the ground and said : "Behind this door is the dungeon boss, with other powerful monsters and a few who are weaker … How are you feeling ?"
A creepy smile appeared on Kevin's face and he told him as he walked to the door : "Don't worry, I won't get in your way, but I will fight with you, and as soon as I have any openings I will hit them."
Kevin put his hands on the two gold rings that served as handles and thanks to his Strength points Stats, he just needed to exert a little pressure and they snapped off the door, he weighed them and seemed satisfied with what he felt, he immediately put them in his magic bag.
As Axel looked at him taken aback he said to him : "Well what, there is no small profit, we can sell them easily."
Axel shook his head helplessly and asked him serious again : "Ready ?"
Kevin nodded and Axel then kicked down the massive wooden door with one kick. Kevin took his two daggers, one in each of his hands, and as he entered the boss room, the monster notifications began to pop up.
Kevin squeezed his hands tighter around his daggers, they were going to have to face a lot of monsters, there were 5 knight orcs, 3 level 12 and 2 level 13, 3 elite knight goblins level 25, 26 and 31, 2 elite knight golems of level 22 and 30 and finally 4 elite knight orcs of level 28, 40, 44, and 48.
Kevin gave these information to Axel and suddenly he felt an evil and powerful aura, he looked in that direction and unsurprisingly it was the boss of this dungeon.
[ STATS ]
Name : Warrior Orc (Dungeon Boss)
Race : Demon
Level 68
HP : 3 600 / 3 600
Kevin wondered why he could only see these information but he wasted no time and immediately gave it to Axel.
Axel only wanted one thing right now, and that was for Kevin to get out of here as soon as possible.
But alone, he wasn't sure he could beat them all, at least not without getting hurt.
Kevin could see that Axel was stressed, so he activated his new skill, Vital points targetting, and used it on the 4 different types of monsters facing them, the knight orcs didn't count, they were too weak to waste 50 Soul force points.
So it cost him 200 Soul force points, but the information he got was worth it. He quickly told Axel where all the vital points of the strongest monsters were and he told him to try to relax and concentrate on the fight : "We're going together, just let me kill alone the weaker monsters so I can finish the optional quest 2.
For the rest of the fight I will let you go first and I will stay in support, if I find an opening to hit their vital points I will do it, but I will not put myself in danger I promise.
The boss will probably only intervene at the end of the fight. As for the others, I've watched you fight them before, so I'm confident enough to say that I can avoid their attack, stop worrying about me and focus on the fight."
Axel recovered immediately, he tended to forget that Kevin was anything but an amateur, and the information he had just given him about their vital points was going to save him time and energy.
Axel then charged at the first group of monsters that turned out to be the elite knight goblins, while Kevin busied himself with killing the knight orcs.
Strangely enough, the other monsters didn't join in the fight, that made it easier for them.
The monsters that Axel faced were rather weak for him, and he remembered in time what Kevin had done earlier to keep all their precious blood, he decided to follow his example and also simply break their necks.
Axel killed the two who were stronger quickly and he then wondered if Kevin would receive any experience points if they fight the same monster, it was worth a try though.
He broke a leg of the last elite knight goblin that remained and this one dropped to his knees.
He then blocked his arms behind his back so he couldn't move and he saw that Kevin was done with the 5 knight orcs.
Kevin was already coming back to him, so he said to him with a smile : "Kill him babe, I want to check something."
Kevin wondered what Axel was up to but they were in the middle of a fight so he went straight to him and immediately broke the neck of the last elite knight goblin without even blinking.
Axel was wondering if he was starting to have a problem, because watching Kevin kill monsters in cold blood like it was the most natural thing in the world, made him even sexier in his eyes.
Kevin was very far from guessing Axel's thoughts and that's when the sound of the System echoed in his head and he looked at Axel speechless, the latter saw the change in his expression and he asked him curiously : "It worked ? Can you get experience points even if you don't kill them alone ?"
Kevin just had the time to nod when the scream of the dungeon boss rang out and the pressure he felt then made him fall to his knees.
Axel didn't have time to catch him before he hit the ground and an uncontrollable rage seized him, he turned back to the dungeon boss and an animal growl escaped his throat.
