Fox Tale Of A Dungeon Boss 48 Chapter 48: ...But Not As Evil As Foxes

Luna stopped, and yelled at me, "c.r.a.p! We can't go down, the buildings collapsed over the only path! We got to go back up and go into the next test NOW!"

"But he kicked me out!"

"IT IS HIM OR THEM!"

Okay she's got a point.

I turned around and charged at the horde, jumping onto the frozen Magma Crabs as islands in the sea, leaping to towards the other side, pus.h.i.+ng my Blood Aura to get as far as possible.

I created Detonation in my hand, and s.h.i.+fted the spell to blast the force and flame in one specific direction, more like a shotgun than a grenade, and blasted the area where I was landing, Luna following behind.

From the beginning Fenrir had turned into a cloud of smoke, and was choking a few crabs group by group, suffocating them in his smoke cloud to try and help.

Their sh.e.l.ls were too hard for his teeth and claws unfortunately... poor guy. He's doing his best.

We kept running, me throwing random commands imbued with soul power.

"Stop!" 4 crabs froze.

"Attack your neighbor!" 3 attacked the crabs nearby.

"Do the hokey pokey, and turn it all around! That's what it's all about!~"

Some crabs began throwing a pincer in, then a pincer out, then beginning to spin.

I think in my blind panic I was figuring out the limits and concepts behind my cla.s.s's abilities.

I was using normal sound, not music, so I could only control a bare few with those speech commands, but I still could. Yes they're dumb animals, and therefor easier, but still.

Also, I've discovered a critical weakness of mine right now: I don't have an instrument! And having one would REALLY HELP!

We ran up to where the crabs first surged out, and I quickly scooped up a bunch of burned corpses from earlier and stuffed them into my inventory, and kept going.

I saw a rock up above on the right, as we circled clockwise on the mountain going up the Path of Realization.

'That doesn't look too stable... can I roll it over them?'

"Detonation!" I lobbed the 'magic grenade' as it were, and aimed it behind the boulder to explode and push it down.

So we see the truth of my life.

I truly, truly... will always shoot myself in the foot.

The boulder cracked, and fell over, splitting open and pieces separated to form legs and claws.

"..."

"...why couldn't I have just left it alone."

"WHY DID YOU ATTACK ANOTHER ONE?!" Yeah Luna was understandably stressed.

"I THOUGHT IT WAS A ROCK I COULD DROP ON THEM!"

Agh! Now we really are screwed... wait.

'Alright, let's give it a shot.'

I came to a stop, caught my breath, and pulled up my energy to sing.

"Over the miles I see~, oh such a sweet melod~y."

"In times of trouble, ocean come bubble,

May you rise my guar~dian."

"Come and fight, come to battle! Give them natures greatest fright!"

"Come on down, oh Mountain King, and slay this grand crab arm~y!"

I felt the heat of soul energy once again seep out, and felt it like hooks sinking into the giant crab.

Now... I only had one target. Now we're in business.

I tugged on the strings of soul energy, transmitting my intent as I sang, and it stepped forward, stopping its descent to us as it braced itself against its outstretched leg.

"Oh. Oh yeah. Let's do this."

I willed it forward as we ran past it, and had it sweep a claw, knocking the front of the chasing horde down the mountain.

It kept attacking as it was swarmed more and more, magma crabs burning it as Iron crabs cut into its sh.e.l.l, and others just did their thing to wear it down.

'The big guys probably worth a lot more DP as he's got more ma.s.s and energy. So before he dies, I should get him back over here to store him.'

Wait... does the amount of ma.s.s and mana affect how much DP a corpse gives? That wasn't true before though...

'Ah! Quick! a.n.a.lyze, which have higher mana! Okay! Big guy, grab that one and chuck it here! And that one!'

So as the Mountain Crab was being swarmed, it's body moved to crush and throw the corpses of certain higher-powered crabs based on the commands of its new master.

<...you are="" abusing="" your="" soul="" stat...="">

Huh? I can't heeeeear you!~

I'm not abusing anything? Hacking? I dare you to call me a hacker again! I'm not using my cla.s.s properly? Well maybe that's true, but it works doesn't it?!

I don't know what you're talking about, stupid Dungeon. Also, explain why you can suddenly properly talk! What happened to being asleep?

<...>

Ah figures. AH! Almost tripped just now, catching these crabs to store them while running is hard man.

'Mountain Crab isn't doing so good huh? Better get him to run back now.'

The giant crab pierce with many burns and holes turned and rapidly churned the ground with its legs, charging up the path as blood kept soaking out.

Honestly it couldn't have moved that fast from how much pain it was in, but the commands from the Mind Puppet Cla.s.s Skill were absolute.

It quickly caught up, and we finally reached the door to the third test yet again.

'Alrighty, time to feed while those other crabs catch up.' And with that thought, I plunged my hungry-blade into the mountain crab's brain through a crack in its sh.e.l.l.

Was it cruel of me to treat a creature I'd used this way? Yes. In fact, on earth I would be charged with animal cruelty, and rightfully so.

But I need to survive, and feeding my blade seems to be important to my future, so I will.

I used it to help me survive, and now I'm going to gain as many benefits as possible from its corpse. That's what the Dungeon itself does, isn't it? Plus the brain matter is A LOT for a thing this big, and more brain matter means more growth!

'Wait no. Humans actually have really big brains, most other creatures have small ones. Dammit!'

Well I guess murders my best option there. Eh, it'll be fine. Growth is growth. Feed my blade!

As I felt the "meal" was finished, I quickly tried to store the crab, only to get a notice.

Ah... right. My slots volume is based on my body's volume. Uhh...

'Flame Weapon!'

I swiftly created a saber of fire, chopped off its arms, stored them, then roughly hacked it in half to store its main body and legs.

Then I turned and saw a tide slowly approaching of uncountable numbers of crabs.

"AGH! Get in, get in!"

Luna has been waiting by the door for me was panicking, and as she opened the door, a smoke cloud flew from the horde and became Fenrir just in time to leap through the opening, as Luna followed.

I ran into the door, turned, and yanked it shut fast as I could!

Then I turned, and froze in shock.

I was in an underground cavern filled with glowing crystals? This... wasn't the same place as before!

I looked back, still seeing the paper door, and as a crab began crawling through a hole I launched all 5 fireb.a.l.l.s of a FoxFire into the door, and as they exploded the door became shrapnel, leaving a stone wall with no markings, surrounded by splintered wood, paper, and crab meat.

'The door is... gone? I blew it up, and now there's no opening?'

'Oh f.u.c.k! Come on! How much is this upgrade?'

<150 dp.="" yes,="" you="" do="" have="" enough.="">

Gah... FINE! "Buy it!"

A burning sensation quickly ripped through my head, then faded as a slow coolness filled my skull.

'Wait... so he teased me, then threw me out to fight through a horde of minions?'

'That's...'

'Brilliant! I should take notes. That's a great Dungeon Boss strategy!'

'...perhaps it was a good thing the Foxkin denied their demonic nature and focused on the light. Foxes are indeed evil.'

'I don't know what you are talking about, me!'
