’Just like the guide said.’

Having the guide they bought from the guild, the two already knew what they were getting themselves into. Sol only checked with [Analysis] just to be sure.

Amber went invisible while Sol took out his sword and shield and screamed to draw its attention.

"Let’s do this!"

The Gravedigger stomped the ground as it let out a bestial bellow before charging towards Sol.

As it took its first step, Sol had already finished casting a spell.

"[Incinerate]!"

A raging fire overtook the Gravedigger as it burned away its health. Unfazed by the fire, it continued charging without any hesitation. Once it got within 10 feet, it swung its giant coffin towards Sol.

Sol’s speed heavily outclassed the Gravedigger, and without the use of any skills, he leaped to the side as the coffin smashed into the ground. Finding this the perfect moment to strike, Amber appeared out of thin air behind the Gravedigger and plunged both her daggers into its back. Sol didn’t know what skill she used, but it dealt massive damage to the Gravedigger.

Health: 584/1500

It was already at a third of its health, and it had yet to land a single attack.

Furious at the tiny humans, the Gravedigger raised its coffin ominously as black strands of energy seeped into the coffins on the sides of the room. The Gravedigger’s mana dropped drastically, and the coffins affected by its skill shook as they slammed open, revealing skeletons.

Sol used [Analysis] on a random one that held a sword.

Not all skeletons were the same; some had shields, others had axes or spears, but they all had the same level of strength.

The minions the Gravedigger created were rather weak. Sol could kill them in one blow if he put some effort into it. The only issue was that there wasn’t just one or two that it created, but over 50 at once. All the skeletons once out of their coffins ran at the two.

"Go invisible!"

Sol told Amber to go invisible so he could attract the attention of all the skeletons. Amber nodded and disappeared without hesitation, knowing that he could manage on his own.

With no one else to target, the skeletons surrounded Sol while the Gravedigger fell back cautiously, knowing there was another enemy still lurking about. Sol noticed that the boss’ health was constantly regenerating, and it was much faster than what [Increased Health Regeneration] could provide.

Sol used [Cross Slash] on the nearest skeleton as he thought to himself, ’That has to be [Death Absorption].’

Sol correctly deduced that its health was recovering because of [Death Absorption], a skill that instead of resisting death mana absorbs it to recover health. Sol tried to cast another [Incinerate], but his line of sight kept getting blocked by the skeleton group.

The encirclement of skeletons reminded Sol of the orcs from when they launched their surprise attack. At the time, Sol was helpless against the amount of enemies that surrounded him, even though he was stronger than them individually.

A small grin appeared on his face.

’I’m much stronger now.’

"[Water Blade]"

Turbulent water formed around Sol’s sword as he gripped it with both hands as he used [Death Cyclone], sweeping through all the skeletons like butter. The already powerful skill was further enhanced by the water enchantment, making it impossible for the skeletons to resist.

Sol kept spinning with his blade as new skeletons entered his range and were met with the same fate. The skeletons were not smart enough to back away and kept approaching the deadly whirlpool like moths to a flame.

As the skeletons were dying, Sol tried to use [Siphon], but it ended in failure as his attack was so powerful it shattered the bodies of the skeletons, making it impossible to [Siphon] anything from them. On top of that, no experience was given as they were temporary creations.

Soon, all the skeletons perished, and Sol stopped spinning. He turned to see the Gravedigger fighting for its life. It used its rage skill but it simply made the fight much easier for Amber who could better predict its attacks and dodge out of the way.

Amber kept the boss busy while Sol fought the minions and launched devastating attacks the moment it showed any openings. Even though it was healing constantly from [Death Absorption], its health was below 300.

Sol knew Amber could finish the boss on her own but joined in to help anyways. The two made quick work of the Gravedigger as it could only use brute force now that it was all out of mana.

You have slain a Lv 70 Gravedigger! Gained 830,000 Exp (160%)

Learned [Death Absorption] Lv 4!

Learned [Create Undead] Lv 6!

Learned [Weapon Enhancement] Lv 7!

With a loud thud, the large Gravedigger fell onto the ground and was promptly absorbed by the dungeon.

Sol went up to Amber and patted her on the back, "Nice! Let’s get out of here and sleep on a real bed!"

His words appeared to have fallen on deaf ears as Amber didn’t respond; she instead started making her way to the exit. Sol helplessly shook his head as he followed behind her to the door.

The door was large and heavy, but with a strong push, it opened and the two were teleported to the entrance of the 11th floor. In front of them were the passages that led deeper into the dungeon, and behind them was the door that would teleport them directly to the 9th floor exit. Just to the side was a magic circle that the two walked over and touched, imprinting it with their mana pattern.

The two teleported to the first floor and walked outside of the dungeon. The sun was at its peak by the time they left, and they were met with the vibrant city of Crestel. Waving at the guards stationed at the dungeon entrance, the two made their way to the Adventurers Guild, wanting to sell all the items they collected in the dungeon.
