Chapter 62: Real Progress

[00 Months: 02 Days: 04 Hours]

The Dungeon of Vines sprawled before me, a labyrinth of verdant corridors suffused with an eerie glow.

The air was thick with the scent of foliage and damp earth, and the ground beneath my feet seemed to pulse with life. I was prepared for the unique challenges this place held, especially the plant Demons that dwelled within.

With my trusted companions, the five Energy Rocks floating around me, and Mr. Stone standing by my side, we ventured deeper into the dungeon's depths.

The plant Demons emerged from the shadows, their twisted forms entwined with thorny vines and wickedly sharp foliage.

These creatures possessed an annoying ability to regenerate, reminding me of Root.

Fortunately, they weren't as sturdy as it was.

Unleashing the power of the Energy Rocks, I commanded them to attack. The orbs whirled and danced around me, releasing bursts of energy as they crashed on the Plants, roasting them with the intense energy that suffused them.

The further I got into the Dungeon, however, the more the Plant Demons' regenerative abilities proved to be a formidable challenge.

No matter how much damage I inflicted upon them, they managed to heal and renew themselves. It was a relentless cycle of destruction and renewal.

However, I refused to be discouraged.

Utilizing my Skills to enhance my assaults, I unleashed a barrage of swift and precise strikes.

I moved with unparalleled speed and agility, evading the lashing tendrils and razor-sharp leaves of the plant Demons. My black-gloved fist met their targets with unwavering accuracy, exploiting weaknesses and dealing devastating blows.

Mr. Stone fought alongside me, its immense strength adding a destructive force to our combined assault. With each swing of its mighty arms, plant Demons were uprooted and torn apart.

Together, we forged a path of destruction through the Dungeon of Vines.

Finally, we reached the heart of the dungeon, where the Boss awaited.

A towering Demon Tree loomed before us, its branches writhing with malevolent energy. Thick vines snaked from its trunk, striking out with deadly precision.

But I was undeterred.

Drawing upon the power of the Energy Rocks, I fortified myself with their combined energies.

With an excited roar, I launched myself at the Boss, evading its deadly vines with acrobatic grace.

Mr. Stone engaged the Demon Tree, exchanging powerful blows that rattled the very foundations of the dungeon.

I unleashed a barrage of strikes, my fists moving like a tempest, exploiting the weaknesses of the Demon Tree.

Every impact sent tremors through its trunk, causing it to writhe in agony. But the creature fought back, its vines lashing out with renewed fury. Yet, with my enhanced abilities, I deftly avoided each strike, dancing through the chaos with preternatural speed.

Seizing an opening, I channeled the energy stored within my gloves.

~BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!~

A burst of power surged forth, tearing through the thick bark and tearing a gaping hole in the Demon Tree. Sap and foliage spilled forth, a testament to my overwhelming strength.

As the Demon Tree thrashed and withered, I focused my resolve. I conjured a final surge of energy, frying its tattered bark.

The force was overwhelming, tearing through the remaining vestiges of its regenerative abilities and reducing it to a lifeless husk.

It was definitely tougher than Root was, but... in the end, it was still no match for me.

[00 Months: 02 Days: 07 Hours]

The Dungeon of Slimes was unlike anything I had faced before.

The walls seemed to ooze with a thick, viscous substance, and the air was heavy with the pungent scent of slime.

As I ventured further into the dimly lit corridors, I knew that my next opponents would be a little tricky.

According to the Information, Slime Demons possessed immense physical resistance and restorative bodies.

Mr. Stone wasn't going to do much good in this environment since it was mostly based on physical attacks, so I decided to go at it alone.

It wasn't all bad, though. I always wanted to truly try conquering a Dungeon solo.

My five Energy Rocks floated around me, ready for the battle ahead.

With a surge of power, I activated my enhancement Skills, feeling the energy course through my veins.

I already knew that brute force alone wouldn't be enough to defeat these resilient foes, so I was thankful I invested a lot in my Energy Level.

The first Slime Demon emerged from the shadows, a monstrous mass of gelatinous matter. Its form shifted and reformed, as if mocking my attempts to attack it.

Undeterred, I focused my energy and coated my fists with my new sets of Skills <Elemental Attribute (Basic)>

It cost me a whooping 1,000 Currency, but the effects of this Skill were worth it.

All of my attacks were now coated in elemental power. Each strike now carried the force of fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning.

Of course, my favorite to use was the Lightning and Water Combo, or the Fire and wind one.

Earth was... kind of useless, to be honest.

I lunged forward, my enhanced blows tearing through the Slime Demon's defenses. But true to their nature, the wounds quickly closed, and the creature retaliated with a viscous attack.

I conjured my <Haven> Skill, generating a shimmering shield of energy that protected me from the acidic onslaught.

I adapted to the situation, launching the Super Energy Rocks from all around, shooting them at the Slime Demon from a distance.

Thanks to my <Rock Master> Title, I was able to easily control the five at the same time, and my <Elemental Attribute (Basic)> Skill applied to them as well.

The orbs, now brimming with elemental power, collided with the creature, causing splatters of slime to fly in all directions.

While the individual blows seemed ineffective, the constant barrage overwhelmed the regenerative properties of the Slime Demons, hindering their ability to heal.

As I moved deeper into the Dungeon, I encountered more Slime Demons. Each battle was a dance of speed, precision, and strategy.

My Energy Rocks volleyed towards the enemies, striking with the elemental fury of fire and wind, lightning and water... and then earth, I guess.

The Earth attribute was useful for slowing opponents down or reinforcing physical attacks; both of which were useless in the current situation because I was already much faster than the Slimes, and they were highly resistant to physical attacks.

More importantly, though, the combination of my attacks kept them at bay, preventing them from overpowering me with their numbers

Finally, the moment came to face the Boss of the Dungeon, the fearsome Slime Lord.

A massive, pulsating ball of slime, it oozed with an energy-resistant aura that would make direct attacks futile. But I had a plan.

I summoned the overwhelming ability of my <Gravity Press> Skill, increasing the weight it already possessed.

Thanks to that, the Slime Lord's movements slowed, and it was also restricted in the flexible moves that these Slimes were terrifying for making.

Dealing with small Slimes was one thing, but the amount of reach a massive one had was no joke. Well, with <Haven> activated, I probably didn't need to worry too much.

Taking advantage of the opening, I unleashed a rapid volley of Energy Rocks, each strike tearing through its slimy bodies.

While the Slime Lord attempted to reform, I focused my attacks on its core. My enchanted glove glowed with power as I unleashed a fully charged energy blast.

~BOOOOOOMMMM!~

The force was immense, tearing through the Slime Lord's defenses and striking its core directly.

The Slime Lord quivered and writhed, its resistance shattered.

With all my excess energy coursing through its core, its regeneration was compromised and all the power converged in a cataclysmic explosion, tearing apart the Slime Lord and reducing it to a puddle of defeated goo.

Once again... I won!

Heaving a sigh of relief, I glanced around me, looking at all the muck and grime. Within a mere day, I had pretty much concluded my task here at the Wild Lands.

I thought I would have to spend at least a week, and even that wasn't assured.

'I guess it pays off to be strong.'

I was now in Level 35... almost twice as strong as I was two days ago.

Looks like Mikey is on a roll. What do you all think? Does he deserve this? Or is it too overpowered too fast?

Thanks for reading.
