An Extra’s POV
-
chapter-158
A Dragon was never meant to show up in the Royal Dungeon.
And even if it did, Adonis and his classmates never encountered one throughout the time they explored the Royal Dungeon.
Granted, they never reached the lowest Floor of the Dungeon—thanks to something that came up—but they never caught a whiff of this enemy.
Brutus was never captured by a Dragon.
A Dragon never stole the piles of Monster Cores that the HobGoblins hoarded.A Dragon never did any of those things!
'The future has changed. I should know that by now…'
As Adonis looked at his foe, he took in deep breaths in preparation for what he was about to do.
'There's nothing I can do about the ripple effects. But, if a threat arises that threatens my friends… I have to do something!'
He gritted his teeth, tasting the remainder of his own blood in his mouth.

[End Of Information]
"Haaa…"
Adonis already knew what he had to do.
He was done hesitating or even resisting. Right now, this was the only chance he had.
He didn't know how many Stat Points he would lose, but he understood that if he could end things quickly, then it wouldn't be too much.
It felt like a fair bargain at this point.
'As long as I can defeat the enemy that lies in front of me… that's all that matters!'
With that resolve, he took his stance and brandished his blade.
'Activate [Limit Transcension]!'
~BOOOOOOOOM!~
An instant surge of energy caused the very air to vibrate.
Everything around Adonis was crumbling, as if being broken down into multiple smaller particles.
The Mana Crystals that filled the ground began to dissipate and surround the Hero.
This ability, [Limit Transcension], allowed the user to get temporarily stronger by absorbing the Mana around them.
This would be converted into Stat Points which would phenomenally improve the user in every aspect of his Stats—
also increasing the effectiveness of his Skills.
And so, it was only natural for Mana Crystals to completely be absorbed by the one who stood in their presence.
… The Hero who commanded it!
"Let's try this again." Adonis whispered, opening his glowing golden eyes.
His hair was currently dancing in the air as an aura of pure golden light covered his body.
Vein-like energy markings appeared on his body as more power rushed into him.
'Let's go!'
~WHOOOOOM!~
Space itself distorted as the Hero made his first move, rushing towards his target in a blur of light.
"W-wha—?!"
Before the Dragon Commander could even react, Adonis was already in front of him.
His blade was swung, carrying with it an overwhelming power that could not be explained with mere words.
Fortunately for the Commander, his Spatial Magic activated right on time.
~WHUSH!~
He was able to vanish by a hair's breadth, appearing a considerable distance away from Adonis.
However, the moment he reappeared, he noticed a golden figure right beside him.
It was Adonis!
~SWOOOOSH!~
The blade was swung with even more ferocity, and this time, the Dragon felt it nearly reach his neck before teleporting once again.
~WHUSH!~
As soon as he teleported away, Adonis' eyes darted all around him, and he instantly spotted the next distortion in space.
His legs carried him to the location in no time, and he raised his blade for a powerful vertical strike.
Thus, once the Dragon Commander manifested, he was greeted with a strike he couldn't avoid.
~WHUUUUMMMM!!!~
He could only move back as fast as he could, but even then… the attack was bound to hit him.
And so—
~SWOOSH!~
—He sent his tail to attack Adonis right as he was about to deliver the blow.
That way, just like last time, he would disrupt the momentum.
However, there was one thing this Dragon Commander failed to recognize…
~BOOOOM!~
A bright golden ray of light blew open the sharp tail that would have skewered the approaching Hero, causing the Dragon to writhe in pain.
This gave Adonis the perfect chance to deal his attack.
~WHOOSH!~
The blade approached, distorting the fabric of space itself as it neared its victim.
"N-no…!"
The Dragon Commander could see death come its way.
If he didn't do something, he was going to die.
He would be killed by this human!
Adonis' face at that point was not one of victory or rage, but a lull that just seemed to state the brute fact of the situation.
Righteous judgment had come!
It was time for the beast of terror to experience it himself.
~SQUELCH!~
