Chapter 149: Easy Boss Battle

The moment Amon and Seraphina stepped through the green veil, the world on the other side became completely silent.

The corridor behind them disappeared beneath the green barrier, leaving them inside a massive chamber illuminated by a sickly green light that seemed to come from nowhere.

Amon slowly raised his head. Something was standing in the center of the chamber.

It was a woman-like creature standing nearly two meters tall, but almost nothing about her appearance felt human.

Her pale body was unnaturally thin, her limbs were elongated, and several long tentacles emerged from around her face and moved slowly through the air like living snakes.

Her head hung slightly forward, while strands of pale hair covered parts of her distorted face.

In one of her hands, she held a long, crooked weapon that looked as though it had been carved from bone.

Amon stared at her for several seconds. ’That thing looks really fucking creepy.’

The monster suddenly raised its head.

Its mouth opened far wider than it should have been possible for a human-like creature.

Then it screeched like a monster.

The sound was so sharp that the entire chamber seemed to vibrate.

Seraphina instinctively raised her staff. The creature suddenly rushed toward them.

"Amon!"

"Stay back!" Amon shouted. "Attack from a distance and keep your distance from her!"

Before Seraphina could answer, Amon activated Spatial Steps.

His body disappeared from the ground. He reappeared directly above the monster.

The creature abruptly stopped. Its head snapped upward as it noticed Amon descending toward it.

Amon raised his battleaxe but the monster reacted faster than he expected.

It swung the strange weapon in its hand with tremendous force.

Amon’s eyes widened. "Shit!"

Spatial Steps activated again.

His body disappeared just before the weapon passed through the place where he had been standing.

Amon reappeared several meters away.

The monster immediately turned toward him, the tentacles hanging around its face suddenly moved.

They shot toward Amon like whips.

Amon swung his short sword. Several tentacles were cut apart in a single motion.

The severed pieces fell toward the ground but before they could even touch the floor, the wounds closed.

New flesh rapidly formed from the severed ends.

Amon’s expression became serious. "They regenerate?"

The monster screeched again and rushed toward him.

Amon waited until the last possible moment before activating Spatial Steps. He disappeared from its path and reappeared behind it.

His battleaxe swung toward its leg. The blade struck deeply.

The monster screamed as the axe embedded itself into its leg.

Amon tightened his grip. "Got you."

He tried to pull the weapon free but the monster suddenly twisted around.

Its leg moved with unnatural flexibility before its other foot slammed into Amon’s chest.

Amon was thrown backward. His Dragon Emperor’s Scale Armor spread across his body just before the impact.

The armor absorbed most of the force, but the kick still sent a violent shock through his body.

Amon crashed against the stone floor and rolled several times before stopping.

He slowly pushed himself up. "That fucking hurt."

The monster turned toward him but Seraphina had already reacted.

She raised her staff and several small, razor-sharp shards of ice appeared across the ground.

They were scattered directly along the monster’s path.

The creature didn’t seem to notice.

It began walking toward Amon and its foot stepped onto one of the ice shards.

The sharp fragment pierced into its foot.

The monster screamed. It immediately lifted its leg, but another shard pierced the other foot.

Seraphina continued creating more.

The creature struggled to move across the frozen battlefield, every step forcing another sharp fragment into its flesh.

Amon took advantage of the opening. He steadied his breathing and raised his hand.

Mana gathered around his palm.

His eyes locked onto the monster. "Let’s see how you handle this."

A concentrated spear of ice formed in front of his hand. "Frost Spear."

The spear shot forward.

It struck the monster directly in the chest and embedded itself deeply into its body.

Amon stared at it for a moment. ’Nice.’

The monster screamed and staggered backward.

Amon immediately rushed forward. The creature swung one of its arms toward him.

Amon ducked beneath the attack while another hand reached for him from the side.

Amon grabbed it and instead of fighting against the monster’s strength, he used its own movement against it.

He stepped onto the creature’s arm and jumped upward. The monster tried to shake him off.

Amon used the momentum to land directly on top of its body.

He quickly formed another spear of ice in his hand and he used Frost Manipulation.

The spear rapidly expanded. Its length increased until it was almost as tall as Amon himself, while its tip became thick and incredibly sharp.

The monster opened its mouth and released another horrible screech.

Amon looked directly into the darkness of its mouth. "Open wide."

He drove the massive ice spear downward. The weapon entered the creature’s open mouth and forced its head backward.

At the same time, Seraphina slammed her staff against the ground. "Frost!"

A massive wave of cold spread across the chamber. The floor beneath the monster froze instantly.

The ice crawled up its legs and it spread across its lower body.

The monster attempted to move but its foot slipped.

Its entire body lost balance. The creature fell heavily onto the frozen ground.

Amon jumped away before it could crush him. His eyes immediately moved toward his battleaxe.

It was still embedded in the monster’s leg.

Amon activated Spatial Steps. He disappeared and reappeared beside the creature.

His hand wrapped around the handle of the battleaxe with a powerful pull, he ripped the weapon free.

The monster screamed and tried to rise. Amon didn’t give it the chance.

Spatial Steps activated again. His body vanished and a moment later, he appeared high above the fallen monster.

Amon twisted his body in midair. He completed a full roll before adjusting his position and driving the battleaxe downward with all his strength.

The weapon struck the monster directly in the chest. The impact forced the creature against the frozen floor.

Amon held the axe tightly as the monster struggled beneath him.

Its tentacles thrashed wildly with its limbs struck the ground several times.

Finally its movements began to slow. The creature released one final distorted screech and finally became still.

Amon remained there for several seconds before slowly pulling his battleaxe free.

The monster’s body began dissolving into particles of mana. The green light surrounding the chamber gradually faded as the dungeon absorbed the remains.

Amon closed his eyes when he felt his body grow more. ’... Another level up.’

He turned toward Seraphina even though she was still standing but she was barely holding herself.

Her staff slipped slightly in her hand. Amon immediately noticed her breathing.

She was breathing heavily, with her shoulders rising and falling as she struggled to recover.

"Seraphina?"

She looked toward him as her face was pale from exhaustion.

Amon walked over to her and lowered his battleaxe. "Are you alright?"

Seraphina gave him a tired smile. "I’m fine."

She took another deep breath before leaning slightly against her staff.

She let out a soft chuckle. "I think I need to get to the hotel quickly."

Amon stared at her for a moment. "That eager to get fucked?"

Seraphina let out a soft chuckle. "Fuck you, asshole."

Amon looked toward the remains of the boss before turning back to her.

"Then let’s get out of here."
