While Others Stream Dungeons, I Became The Final Boss
Chapter 25: Newbies’ Dungeon Trial [3]
Up until now, Abel was the only one who hadn’t displayed a conventional skill, apart from his skilled use of the chained battle axe.
It wasn’t only Executioner Five who was curious. Even Firestar and Poison Rose shared the same thought.
They believed that Abel was just like them, hiding his abilities in order to reveal them at the perfect moment and maximise their impact on the audience watching.
Abel sensed their gazes and sighed inwardly. How was he supposed to explain that his most versatile skill was the chained axe he currently wielded?
He couldn’t even tell them that most of his skills were useless in the current situation without revealing the secret that he was a Beastmaster.
Forget it.
Abel silently shook his head.
Executioner Five didn’t dwell on the question. If Abel didn’t want to reveal his skill, then it didn’t matter as long as they conquered the dungeon. Besides, with the way things were going, he would sooner or later reveal it.
"They are here," Executioner Five warned.
The giant rabbits were now only several meters away from them.
At that moment, the fiery crackling fireball grew slightly bigger.
Firestar unleashed it without hesitation.
The crackling fireball shot through the air like a loaded gun and landed at the centre of the charging giant rabbits.
BOOOMM!!
A pillar of fire rose into the skies.
Smoke and dust rose into the air, gathering around the monsters like a cloud.
The lingering heat of the flames licked against their faces.
They could no longer hear the sound of the charging giant rabbits.
They doubted such an attack was enough to swiftly eliminate all of them.
Their assumptions were correct.
As the clouds of smoke and dust cleared, the giant rabbits were nowhere to be seen. There were only a few large holes scattered across the scorched grassy plain.
"Damn it! They’re underground," Abel came to a swift realisation and warned the group.
Abel looked at the ground below.
Rabbits could burrow into the ground. And if these giant rabbits could do the same, that meant attacking and defending against them would become much more difficult than they had initially thought.
The others followed suit.
They felt the earth tremble beneath their feet and realised that Abel was right.
Abel’s instincts flared.
Before his mind could think, he stamped his foot on the ground and leapt high into the air.
Without knowing what was going on, Executioner Five and the others followed his judgment, jumping high into the air.
Four giant rabbits burst out from the ground where they had previously stood, with widened jaws filled with threatening jagged teeth.
SNAPP!!
Abel swung his battle axe at the monster below him.
Poison Rose shot two of her poisoned arrows at another below her.
Five blue ethereal arms conjured from the side of both Executioner Five’s arms—two from the side of his left arm and three from his right arm—and extended outward. He used one as a platform to launch himself out of the Garden of Poison Roses, and the other four to catch Abel and the others midair.
[Sizzle & Burn]
With Executioner Five supporting her in midair, Firestar twisted her body to the side and pointed her staff at the giant monster that had appeared below her and cast her spell.
Craccklle!! Boomm!!
The hole the giant rabbit had crawled out from was set ablaze, charring it within its burrow.
Abel’s battle axe struck the head of a giant rabbit, shattering its skull.
Poison Rose’s arrows pierced into a giant rabbit’s two ruby-red eyes and seeped poison into them.
All of this transpired within less than a minute.
Executioner Five gritted his teeth. He couldn’t conjure another hand to support his movement in midair.
"Take care of yourselves!"
He threw Abel into the distance, then did the same to Firestar and Poison Rose.
Abel reeled in his battle axe.
He landed outside the Garden of Poison Roses. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
He slammed his shield into the ground to hurriedly halt his momentum.
Craters burst open beneath his feet and spread outward like spiderwebs, creating a cloud of dust that rose into the air.
Finally, Abel came to a stop.
Firestar halted a short distance to his left, with Poison Rose landing nearby as well.
Executioner Five used his etheral arms to slow his descent before landing on the ground.
They used the ground to stop their momentum as well.
In the distance, the Giant-Feet Rabbits thrashed violently. A few attempted to return to the holes they had crawled out of.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
They eventually succumbed to death.
The Garden of Poison Roses melted into a glue-like acidic substance that slowly seeped into the soil and burrows. Poisonous smoke rose from the substance into the air as well.
[You’ve slain a Level One Giant-Feet Rabbit.]
[Your party member has slain a Level One Giant-Feet Rabbit. You’ll receive a share of the contribution.]
[Your party member has slain a Level One Giant-Feet Rabbit. You’ll receive a share of the contribution.]
A series of kill notifications appeared at the corner of Abel’s eyes.
Abel felt the familiar, strange energy flow into his body once more, reinvigorating every fibre of his being. If he had a health bar, Abel knew it would be filled up at this moment.
This should be the famed ’Monster Experience Points.’
As a professional video game streamer, Abel finally realised what this mysterious energy was. However, he was unsure if the name was the same in the Hunter community.
"TYRANT! EVERYONE!!" Executioner Five shouted.
Looking at his hand signal, Abel realised that he wanted to regroup.
Without hesitation, Abel, along with the rest, raced toward Executioner Five.
Poison Rose and the Firestar were the closest to his position.
They no longer saw the need to fight in pairs, since their abilities complemented each other so well. If they could team up against the Giant-Feet Rabbits, then they might as well stay together and conquer the dungeon.
But with other giant rabbits still burrowing beneath their feet, how could it be that easy?
KRRRRUNCH!!
A giant rabbit burst forth from underneath Abel’s feet, thrusting him into the air.
