Kieran sank to the bottom of the sea, surrounded by the black mist.
Kieran was not affected by the lack of oxygen or the change in water pressure, but it made Kieran even more cautious.
Gilfren Hatch's dying counterattack should not have been this simple.
However, Kieran still glanced over the ring in his hand.
It was a black ring with a rough and ugly appearance.
Still, it did not diminish its value as a Rare equipment.
[Name: Spectre's Grip]
[Type: Accessory]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Shadow Chain]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisites: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: This is the power of a demon that has come back from the dead!]
...
[Shadow Chain: Create a chain made of negative energy to bind your enemy. The target will have to go through a Strength authentication with your own. If the target passes, the target will be freed. If the target fails, the target will be bound for 1 second. For the next 3 seconds, the target will receive 15 Negative Corrosion Damage per second, 2 times per day]
...
Kieran knew the value of the [Spectre's Grip] since he had been bound by it before.
Regardless of whether it was for battle or escape, it would be a very good piece of equipment.
He wore it on his left index finger.
He looked at Fenkes's body.
After being freed from Gilfren Hatch's grasp, Fenkes's body started to rot rapidly.
It did not look like he had just died.
It looked like he had been dead for a few months.
Kieran was not sure what had happened to Fenkes.
It must have been something that he did not want to remember.
"Did you die when we left the dungeon world?"
"So the body was used by Gilfren Hatch?"
Kieran guessed.
There was too little information for him to prove his theory.
When the black mist around him started to move again, Kieran quickly retracted his attention and went on full alert.
Pak!
It was like a soap bubble popping.
The black mist that had surrounded Kieran dissipated.
When the soap bubble popped, Kieran's alarm went off and he quickly rolled away from the spot.
Boom!
The next moment proved that Kieran's choice was correct.
A tall and sturdy half-dead with a pair of wings on its back and blood-red patterns on its face appeared where Kieran had been standing.
The stone floor was instantly crushed into dust by the man's stomp.
"Half-dead?!"
Kieran looked at the monster in front of him with uncertainty.
He had seen the same blood-colored pattern when Gilfren Hatch possessed Zywane, but the possessed Zywane was nowhere near as tall and strong as this, not to mention a pair of wings.
Moreover, the patterns on his face didn't seem to have the ability to intimidate or create illusions.
"Roar!"
Just as Kieran was sizing it up, the monster opposite him that he suspected to be a half-dead let out a low growl and disappeared in an instant.
Not good!
Kieran was shocked.
[Primus Arm, Primus Scale] and [Tessirot's Blessing, Scale of Blessing] were activated simultaneously.
Bang!
A heavy blow landed on Kieran's back, sending him flying.
His Powerful Force Field Barrier and Medium Stone Skin, which had 500 points of defense, were shattered one after the other.
Kieran couldn't even block one of the monster's attacks.
The monster that had just delivered the first blow appeared above Kieran's head at an unimaginable speed, sending another punch down.
Kieran, who was still in mid-air, couldn't dodge the punch. His eyes widened as he stared at the incoming punch.
Fuuu!
The tremendous force formed a strong wind pressure that pushed Kieran down to the ground.
Just as Kieran was about to be crushed, Kieran's body suddenly flew to the side.
Kieran threw out an iron wire as thick as a strand of hair, wrapping it around one of the stone pillars. Using the drag force, Kieran dodged the attack.
[Deceiver's Key]
Boom!
Kieran dodged the attack, but the half-dead monster couldn't react in time and smashed its fist into the ground.
Half of the monster's thick arm sank into the ground.
Kieran dodged the monster again when he saw it pull its arm out of the ground.
Kieran quickly widened the distance between him and the half-dead monster.
However, out of Kieran's expectation, the monster didn't give chase. Instead, it stood still and looked around.
"Poor eyesight?
"His hearing seems to be poor too?"
Kieran raised a brow, but his heart was relieved.
If the monster really had good eyesight and hearing, coupled with its terrifying strength and speed, Kieran would be dead for sure.
But now?
He still had a chance to live.
Kieran carefully moved his feet.
Musou Level [Undercover] allowed Kieran to turn into a shadow, merging with the darkness around him.
Huuhaa! Huuhaa!
Heavy breaths came from the monster's mouth, its chest moving up and down.
The dark space only had a faint glimmer, but it was enough for Kieran to notice that there was a hole in the monster's chest.
The heart that should have been there was gone.
All that was left were the veins moving back and forth in the chest.
"Heart?!
Could it be … "
Kieran unconsciously thought of the heartbeat in the bronze coffin.
"Roar! Roar! "
However, before Kieran could speculate further, the half-dead monster spread its wings and flew up. It didn't give up on searching for Kieran, instead, it started to search every inch of the area.
Kieran retracted his attention and stared at the monster, moving his feet at the same time.
Although the monster's eyesight and hearing were poor, it didn't mean it couldn't see or hear.
Once Kieran entered a certain range, the monster could still see and hear him.
The range should be around 10 meters!
Based on the distance he dodged, Kieran got a rough estimate.
Besides, Kieran was sure it was just a soft sound.
If it was a louder sound, the range would be bigger.
Therefore, he carefully controlled the distance between him and the monster within a certain range.
As time passed, the monster's search continued.
Kieran had a general understanding of the place he was in.
It was a triangular cave, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The space wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.
There were a total of two opposite 'doors'.
The doors were made of a translucent gelatinous material.
One of the doors was for him to enter. Kieran had tried earlier, but he couldn't get out from the other side. The gelatinous material was as hard as steel.
As for the other door?
The half-dead monster had been searching for Kieran for a long time without any results, so it had been guarding the entrance.
"It has lost its intellect, but its killing instinct still knows what to do?"
Kieran thought.
After playing hide-and-seek with the monster, Kieran had a deeper understanding of it.
Not only did the monster have low vision and hearing, but it also seemed to have low intellect.
It was like a predator, without the intellect of a human.
Kieran didn't know why the monster had turned into such a state.
But he knew what he had to do.
Ding!
In a safe area, Kieran pulled the pin of a grenade and threw it at the monster.
Dang Lang!
The grenade landed on the ground and attracted the monster's attention.
It threw itself at the grenade.
Then …
KABOOM!
After an explosion, the monster was thrown to the ground.
However, it quickly stood up without a scratch, growling fiercely.
[Explosion: Inflicts 200 Damage to Target HP, Target has Immune to Lethal Damage, High Death Skin, High Iron Armor, Resisted 200 Damage, 0 True Damage Inflicted to Target …]
The battlelog notification told Kieran, who had already stepped through the door, that the man was invulnerable.
After a quick glance at the battlelog notification, Kieran didn't stop and continued forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When Kieran completely left the semi-gelatinous door, a series of heavy bangs came from behind him.
The monster that seemed to be a 'half-dead' was slamming the door frantically.
However, the seemingly sticky and soft gelatinous door didn't budge at all.
With the door's protection, Kieran was able to size up the monster before him more carefully.
However, he wanted to try something else.
Taking out the [Python-2], Kieran loaded it with [Bullets of Blessing] one after another.
