Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 182

Chapter 182

I placed the Escape Scroll in an easily available spot in the item list so that I could use it at any time .

I took one out and gave it to Edward just in case .

“Just hold it and use it when I tell you to . ”

He silently nodded his head .

He had used it before to leave the vampire dungeon so there was probably no need to explain .

We passed the passage and arrived at a large hall .

It was a dark dungeon until now but this place had a few halogen lights on the ceiling . I turned off the light and looked around .

The height of the ceiling was about 10 meters . It was a large space with a length of 30 meters .

There were 5 long bars hanging from the ceiling and there were dozens of tools that seemed like lighting in each room .

There was a column about 50 cm higher than the rest of the ground and it seemed like a stage at a glance .

A stage and lighting .

It seemed like a multipurpose theater .

I tapped the transmitter and opened my mouth .

“Did you personally design the interior as well?”

[Ah…… Yes . It was made experimentally for now . Since a form familiar to humans is comfortable for us to appropriately defend against the attack of the Alpha system…… Please be careful! The enemies are coming!]

Dr . Suresh’ voice suddenly changed .

I could hear the racket from the Mantis’ approaching from every direction of the hall .

The total number of entrances to the stage were the four corners of the hall . From those, it would be three excluding the one I came from .

I took out my weapon and inspected the surroundings .

And soon enough, the ceiling crashed down .

The metal bar that had lightings on it swayed and fell to the ground .

With a tremendous sound all five lighting bars fell and a dozen Mantis’ landed on it .

Each and every one of them had the invincibility option .

“Where is the leader?”

[It’s in the proximity! It’s location is……!]

Something showed its figure by destroying the wall behind the stage before his words could end .

It was a monster that looked like beetle and was 5 meters long .

Grabgor (10) : An insect type devil race . Commands a large number of pawns and is covered in powerful armor . It’s weakness is its stomach . Changes its attack pattern when in a crisis .

Grabgor .

It was my first time seeing a guy of the devil race . Even Edward who was a vampire wasn’t called a devil race .

The Mantises vibrated their stomachs to spread an intimidating cry .

Ten Mantises were surrounding Edward and I in a half circle and the giant Grabgor was approaching from behind .

Its outward appearance was that of a mere beetle but I realized that its head part was similar to that of a human face from close up .

“That has a dangerous smell to it . ”

Edward said with a frown .

I agreed .

A human face and an insect body .

It was the most unpleasant monster I had seen until now .

To look better than me as a mere insect .

That that moment, the eyes on the Grabgor’s head opened .

A buzzing sound like voice came from its mouth . It was as if two voices were overlapped .

[[Are you the one annoying me?]]

“Does it know how to talk?”

[[I will make you pay the price of awakening I, the Grabgor . ]]

“I didn’t wake you up though . Don’t you have the wrong guy?”

[[Shut up . Aren’t you the one that woke me up while I was sleeping in the abyss?]]

“Sorry . But I don’t think that’s me . I don’t even know where the abyss is . ”

[[Then who is it if it isn’t you!]]

“I’m not sure . It might be the Alpha system . ”

[[Are you disdaining me!]]

The Grabgor raised its upper body and dropped down again .

The ground then shook with great force . I didn’t know how good of an infrastructure this place had but if it shook a few more times in this way I think it might collapse .

The enemy is 10 Mantises and a Grabgor .

Even if I could face a level 10 monster, it can’t be helped that facing 10 level 7 monsters would be tricky .

It seems the Grabgor knew that as well as it had a face that knew of its victory .

[[Kuhahaha! Flea like bastard! Face death while feeling despair!!]]

“Ah . Sorry but . ”

I waved my hand in midair and made 20 mermaids appear .

15 warriors and 5 healers came out and held their weapons .

At that, I could see the imposing beetle twitch a bit .

[[What is this……?]]

“You’re not the only one with underlings . ”

The warriors were level 7 while the healers were level 8 . At this point, it wouldn’t be difficult to keep the opponents busy even if they are invincible .

If I killed the Grabgor in that time then it would be my victory .

The mermaids and Mantises began the battle by clashing their spears and nails .

Edward had already hidden and I flew towards the Grabgor while holding the Dancing Sword and Bloody Sword .

[[Die!]]

A black needle like projectile came out of, not his human face mouth, but his real mouth .

I made my body tilt to the side while maintaining the speed . It was a change in direction using psychokinesis, not the Dancing Sword .

Two needles pierced the stage ceiling and disappeared . From the aura on it, it seemed to have similar attack power to the Eight Trigrams Scutum .

I was thinking that it was a bit weak of an attack considering it was a level 10 monster but those needles got fired out of its mouth like a machine gun .

“Annoying bastard . ”

I used the Dancing Sword to run in midair and ran away from the needles it was shooting .

The Grabgor shouted while crumpling its expression .

[[I thought you were a flea but it turns out you’re a mice bastard!!]]

“You’re noisy . Are things called devil race originally such talkative beings?”

I threw the Dancing Sword at the thing .

The Dancing Sword with Aura Blade got blocked easily by its backshell .

I was hoping that it could at least leave a dent but .

[[That level of power is futile!]]

It shouted with a triumphant voice .

He was a guy with a lot of words .

After retrieving the Dancing Sword I circled around it .

The hall was pretty wide but it wasn’t wide enough for the Grabgor to move freely .

In that situation, once I moved at high speeds it only kept spinning, unable to attack .

This is why having a large figure isn’t always a good thing .

The problem is that even I can’t attack .

The Grabgor’s weak point is its stomach that isn’t protected by the shell but it was difficult to attack since it was stuck on the ground like that .

However, the only weak point that could be seen wasn’t the stomach . I jumped up and threw the sword at its face .

The Dancing Sword shot towards its face as I wanted .

There was no way for the Grabgor to block this attack with its short legs .

He tried firing needles as desperate as he was but the Dancing Sword with Aura Blade deflected all of them and pierced into its face .

With a strange sound its face got split into two .

I called back the Dancing Sword that had fallen on the ground without any strength and inspected the thing .

I was suspicious as to whether it was finished with just this but a new face sprung out of the split face . It was a woman’s face this time .

[[Is that all you have?]]

The split man’s face and woman’s face that had just sprung out opened their mouth at the same time .

I had felt that the voice was overlapping but it turned out that this woman’s voice was mixed in .

“Is it not enough with just this as expected?”

I flung the sword once more .

The woman’s face got split in half . The sword got deflected instead of getting stuck but a new man’s face appeared from between the woman’s face .

Wow . This is becoming more and more grotesque .

I heard that it was a devil race but the method to deal with it was far more different than normal monsters .

Attacks such as stabbing its eye didn’t work on this guy .

I was wondering if I had no choice but to target its stomach as the manual said when I remembered the 30,000 reward points I had left .

If it was Armor Penetration that even destroyed the exoskeleton of the invincible attribute Mantis then it should be more than enough to destroy that sturdy shell .

I used up the remaining reward points to raise Armor Penetration all the way to 1,000 .

Proficiency rose to 81 .

– Armor Penetration rose to 1,000 .

– Addition technique, Penetration can be used .

Penetration : Able to damage the internals by penetrating the opponent’s armor . Available for 10 minutes . Cooldown is a day .

A new technique got created once Armor Penetration reached 1,000 .

It can be said that it was a skill I needed the most in the current situation . It was the shell of a level 10 powerful monster .

It might have been difficult to damage it even with Armor Penetration at 1,000 .

However, if I were to use this additional technique then I’m thinking that I should be able to finish this battle pretty easily .

I raised the sword and raised my body . After rising to almost 20 meters by passing the destroyed ceiling and charged straight at the Grabgor .

[[Foolish!!]]

I could hear the Grabgor’s voice of ridicule .

The conclusion will show who was more foolish .

“Penetration . ”

I activated the newly obtained technique . A 10 minute timer started at the right corner of my sight .

I dodged all the needles the Grabgor shot and approached it .

It seems it wanted to do its all to kill me but it’s impossible to do so with its figure .

No matter how powerful of a power one had, it still received the influence of the world’s law of physics so something smaller is bound to be faster .

I, who had gotten close, jumped onto its back shell .

[[Profane!!]]

I ignored the thing that was shouting this like a false religion pope and activated Aura Blade on the Dancing Sword .

A sense of fullness could be felt from the sword .

I struck down the sword with my all .

The sound of impact didn’t come from the outside .

With a sound that sounded like it came from the other side of a thick wall the Grabgor’s body jumped up as if it got electrocuted .

[[Uoooh!]]

A scream that had rage and pain mixed .

I realized that the damage had gone through properly so I struck down on its back without rest .

I could feel its innards shaking . Its back repeated splitting and closing . Whether it did so or not there was no need to waste such an opportunity .

The remaining time was 10 minutes . I was thinking about applying as much damage as I could in that time .

“Die! You bastard!”

I struck down the Dancing Sword as if chopping wood . It weight quite a bit .

Since it was being struck down with Aura Blade covering it, there was no way the level 10 Grabgor could endure it .

[[Ahhh! Stop! Stop it!]]

“I see you haven’t come to your senses even in this situation . ”

Did it think that I could listen to its command .

I didn’t know what kind of beings the devil race was but I think I know at the very least that its intelligence is lacking .
