Trapped as an NPC in a Dating Sim - Chapter 109: Levelling Up Like a Rocket!

Chapter 109: Levelling Up Like a Rocket!

Only this boulder was enormous and filled with metallic thorns, each the size of his whole body.

*Swoosh!*

As if afraid Soren would dodge again, it directly released all the metallic spikes on its whole body, forming a giant umbrella-like sphere heading toward him from every direction, its body at the center.

Now, even if Soren used his incredible agility to move, he would still be pierced by one of those spikes. Truly, the Drake was in a hurry to finish him with this charge.

To be honest, looking at the huge monster running in the sky on the metal spikes, surrounded by shiny, piercing silver metallic spikes coming at him so menacingly, Soren felt it even more dreadful than the time when he faced the “Graythorn War Chief.”

At least that guy just jumped with sheer physical strength, not like this one, which was literally running in the sky at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

“Helios Piercer!”

Soren knew that this time, just dodging alone might not be enough, as the Drake could clearly follow him instantly.

And with such a high level, even though agility wasn’t its forte, it could match Soren’s movement.

To be honest, from the beginning, Soren was at a huge disadvantage, and he wanted nothing more than to leave it and run for one of the branches of that Golden Tree, all to complete the objective of this dungeon.

As long as he could do that, he would instantly leave this god-forsaken place he was shoved into.

He didn’t even care about trying to examine that Golden Fruit, which was obviously an incredible treasure.

Thus, Soren once again used the Crimson Whip to secure Elise tightly to his body, who had strangely gone silent recently, before taking out his C-rank bow from his inventory.

Then, he activated his fire-type skill, Helios Piercer. After all, fire melts metal, didn’t it?

’System, use all the fire affinity mana cores to charge the Helios Piercer.’

In fact, Soren was so decisive that he directly used the monster cores he absorbed before, instead of relying on his general mana.

They were the core of the monsters, similar in level to this Drake after all.

Soren wanted to see if he could damage this big guy if he went all out.

—

Ding!

[You have used the 3 fire affinity mana cores on your SS-rank skill, Helios Piercer.]

[Affinity-attribute attack has been detected.]

[The time limit of your S-rank Class state has been decreased to 2 minutes.]

—

It was very unfortunate that the time limit had already been reduced to 2 minutes. But Soren didn’t care about that right now.

*Swoosh!*

In fact, he couldn’t care even if he wanted to, as the moment the System prompt sounded, he felt all three fiery mana cores he made by absorbing the monsters’ cores disappear instantly from his body.

Simultaneously, a huge amount of dense fiery mana rushed to his C-rank bow, instantly condensing into an illusory arrow.

*Creak!*

Only, the mana and strength were so much that his already damaged bow began to creak loudly, on the verge of breaking apart.

In fact, the force with the arrow condensing was so much that even Soren felt his hand shake despite his attempt to steady it.

*Swoosh!*

Then, just like the first time Soren used this skill, he felt the arrow begin to glow brightly, so much so that a dark red sun directly materialized at the tip of his arrow in an instant.

Yes, unlike before, where it only resembled the sun, this time, it directly materialized into the actual one, only it was very tiny and at the tip of the arrow, completely masked by its brilliant radiance that had already engulfed the entire domain of the Drake running in front.

*Roar!*

The arrow condensed with the three mana cores above level 60 monsters was really something else, as even the Drake in front seemed to feel the threat.

“Shoot!”

Unfortunately, it had already come too close to Soren to dodge it effectively.

In fact, before it could even attack, Soren released the arrow from his bow, aiming for the monster squarely with absolute precision.

Of course, another reason to hurry was that he truly felt that he might not be able to properly aim if he delayed longer, as his bow was almost breaking apart from sheer force.

He was glad that the monster in front was huge and running straight at him.

Now, it would be very hard to dodge his arrow even with its high agility.

*Roar!*

The Thornscale Drake seemed to think the same as Soren, as the moment the Sun descended from the sky menacingly, it immediately roared angrily before directly curling its huge body inside.

*Spiked Fortress!*

In an instant, Drake’s huge body coiled itself tightly, its scales gleaming with a sharp metallic sheen, every spike jutting outward like deadly spears.

Now, it resembled a colossal, thorn-encrusted metallic sphere, spinning through the air with terrifying velocity, a living weapon ready to annihilate anything in its path.

*BANG!*

The moment the Drake used its defensive skill, the Helios Piercer collided instantly with its body, engulfing it in a fiery furnace.

*Roar!*

The impact was so deadly that even though the clash happened in the sky, the entire cliff shone brightly in extreme light before the entire section of the forest below was pulverized by the heat alone.

Even Soren was thrown backward by the sheer momentum of the collision, causing him to almost lose his footing.

*Boom!*

To be honest, the Thornscale Drake was really too powerful, as its defense actually held Soren’s arrow for a while.

Yet, ultimately, it failed to fully defend itself, as the arrow had a piercing effect after all.

It still managed to directly pierce its metallic body, aiming for its heart, before slamming its huge body into the ground at the same speed it had come just now.

*Boom!*

Another huge voice of collision echoed around the area, followed by the formation of a massive crater as if some volcano had erupted.

The dust and ashes flowed around the entire sky, masking even Soren’s eyes from seeing below.

’It is still alive.’

Yet Soren’s face didn’t show joy after using such a devastating attack.

All because he didn’t hear the announcement from the ’Voice of the World’ yet.

It meant the Thornscale Drake was still alive.

Although it might seem very ambitious of Soren to think he could kill a level 65 draconic being with his level 36, that Helios Piercer was condensed using three similar monsters’ mana cores after all.

Of course, he was surprised that it was alive after taking such a heavy arrow head-on.

Soren didn’t continue to wait for the prompt from the ’Voice of the World’ anymore.

Rather, he used his extreme speed and directly headed into the ashen sky, floating right atop the huge metallic boulder lodged at the center.

Just like he thought, the Thornscale Drake was still alive, although it looked completely injured.

Its metallic body had melted in various places, while the countless deadly spikes were totally gone in the collision.

Its huge body was sprawled on the ground weakly and powerlessly, unlike its earlier powerful self.

And despite all this, it was slowly getting up from the crater.

To be honest, Soren realized that he might have been a bit unlucky here, as this Drake was clearly a heavily defensive type.

If it were the Basilisk from before, it stood no chance other than getting killed by the Helios Piercer.

’Let’s finish it then.’

Although surprised by its tenacity, Soren wasn’t going to show mercy. Rather, he once again raised his almost broken bow, condensing yet another fiery arrow.

Only, this time, he didn’t use any fire-type mana core, but used only raw mana, before shooting the fiery arrow directly at the monster below, before it could even react.

*Roar!*

This time, the arrow was far less powerful than before. In fact, it was even weaker than the time he used it to kill that Chieftain.

However, with most of the defense gone, the Thornscale Drake finally could do nothing and was pierced through its heart, dying in an instant.

Poor guy only let out an unwilling roar of indignation before plopping on the ground heavily.

For a draconic being with a trace of Dragon blood in its body, its death was a bit pathetic, as the one who killed it was someone far lower than its level.

But what could he do when Soren had a cheat?

Only, Soren still felt sour that his C-rank bow was now basically completely scrapped, not to mention that his Critical Hit stat never activated even once.

Only when he began to hear the prompt from the ’Voice of the World’ did he smile lightly.
