Chapter 1863 Dark Days Dungeon #1 -Part 5

"Alright, let's do it," Rong said as he walked towards the clearing. He tried to see if there were any more goblins trying to ambush him but when he was resting, he did expel some chi in an attempt to search for more.

Other than the strong energy signature at the clearing, there should be nobody else around the place. But he knew that his chi was not strong enough to sense a wide enough area. That was why he initially used the method of putting his ear to the ground hear for threats.

But right at this moment, he did not have the strength to do it properly and clearly. Even with his enhancement technique, he believed that he could only pull it off for another two more times before he overextended his body from the stamina enhancement technique. After all, it was used in such a way that Rong pushed his chi into various portions of his muscles and allowed them to withstand the fatigue that the cultivator was feeling.

It was meant to aid his ability to withstand pain as well as push over the limit of Grade 1 to Grade 1 Peak. But seeing the condition of his body, he knew that he could have paced it a little better rather than rushing to kill all the goblins with that first pounce.

"In fact, I should have used the first pounce to kill goblins rather than just announcing my position," Rong said to himself as he knew that was a stupid move from him. Probably from arrogance, thinking that he could clear this dungeon fast.

Just as he was about to go closer to the clearing, he saw a familiar goblin. It was a Hellknight Goblin sitting on a trunk log waiting for the cultivator to come close. "Heh, if it's Dark Sols inspired, won't you have some door or something to welcome me so that it would mean the transition of minions to a boss fight?" Rong joked but the moment he said that and stepped forward into the clearing, the 'mysterious' Hellknight Goblin slammed his sword into the ground, causing a wave of black energy slash moving towards it at such a high speed that there was no way to avoid it.

At the same time, Rong realised that one of his Protection Inscription Charms against the Unheavenly Slash broke, leaving him with two more charms. Once Rong managed to save himself unknowingly from the Slash, the Hellknight Goblin stood up without making a noise and slammed his sword once more.

This time, Rong was alert but there was no black energy slash coming out of his sword. Instead, the entire clearing had been surrounded by a ring of dark bluish flames. "Shit…this is really the boss." Rong did not want to believe it since the Hellknight Goblin had been an ally in various dungeons and now he was the boss of this Dark Days Dungeon instance.

"Bossman Jin really knew how to hype this dungeon difficulty," Rong said as he wielded his two wooden clubs. "Is this even unbeatable?" The cultivator asked himself as he stepped forward not to get burned by the blue flames.

"Sigh, it is best to move and take the initiative first before he makes his attack," Rong said as he charged forward only to see the Hellknight raise his right arm, causing blocks of stone to emerge from the ground. Rong did not know what that was but anything that he created should be considered dangerous.

Thus, he quickly smashed them with his clubs only to find that his clubs were on fire which changed the property of the club momentarily into Fire Element. Rong had no idea whether if that was a good thing or not but did not hesitate to slam his club into the Hellknight.

The Goblin boss took damage and had visible damage from taking the blue fire elemental clubs. But just as Rong was about go to in for the second hit, he heard the stones which he did not attack explode behind him.

By right, he should focus on the Hellknight but it was imperative to ensure that his back had no dangers at all. That was when he saw orbs of blue flames floating around after the stone explosion and they were aimed towards Rong.

"Fucckk!" Rong had to cease his attack and evade those flaming orbs that were directed at him. Just like that, the Ox Cultivator understood the first mechanic of the Hellknight. Some of the flames that he evaded hit the Hellknight and that actually had some greenish plus signs appearing around him.

"Wait. So my flame clubs can injure him but his own blue flames heal him? What the shit!" Rong said but he had no time to think about it as the next attack pattern came when the Hellknight Goblin rushed towards Rong to punch him.

Naturally, Rong defended with his clubs but the impact nearly caused him to closer to the ring for flames behind him. "Ouch ouch, hot!" Rong exclaimed as he moved forward. Next, Hellknight Goblin repeated the pattern again, allowing him to grow the stones out of the ground.

Now that Rong knew that those stones did, he quickly moved in to destroy all stones, gathering the necessary energy in his clubs and later slamming them on the Hellknight. Yet the Hellknight blocked the attack with his arms even though it meant taking damage to his arms.

At that point, the Hellknight kicked Rong away and started the emergence of the stones again. But this time, there was something different, the stones came out of the ground even faster and popout a few skeletons of the Goblins that Rong had killed previously.

"Cheating! Such cheat! I want my fire element!" Rong exclaimed as he zoomed to kill the minions only to find that the Hellknight used that as a distraction to give another punch against Rong. Unfortunately for the boss, the Ox Demon Cultivator at that point activated his enhancement technique and without him able to see it from his blind spot, Rong smashed his fire elemental club at the back of the Hellknight, causing him to waver in his stance.

"Must be a critical hit!" Rong was delighted as he fell to the ground from the punch as well.
