Chapter 118: Time to head out
Damon happily blasted through the dungeon without holding anything back. His new full gear set took care of the toasty environment around him, and without any care, he slaughtered his way through the dungeon, clearing out every single monster, even the ones hiding in the nooks and corners.
So many things were happening right now, and most of them seemed to be beyond his control. Even though the old man had given him some semblance of control in their deal, Damon could see that if he truly wanted to, he could take it all back.
Heck, his family was now at the mercy of these unknown people. Damon could not accept such a thing. It made him very restless and uneasy. He needed to become a lot stronger and powerful, and he needed to do this ASAP.
With the Golden Throne event and his quest for the hidden alchemy lab, maybe it was best he focused on dungeon clears for the next few days. This also would help him amass a boatload of stat points and skills.
Making a mental plan of which dungeons to hit next, he executed his new attack, Crimson Fire Lance.
The lance, formed from a fusion of [Blood Lance] and a tiered fire spell, tore through the dungeon’s elite mini-boss like it was made of paper. The impact detonated on the far wall in a bloom of crimson fire and molten rock, leaving a charred crater where five enemies had once stood.
"Damn," Damon muttered, a grin spreading across his face. "Now that’s what I’m talking about."
His fusion skill was a success. The new ability didn’t just combine two effects. It amplified both, borrowing the penetration and health-drain from [Blood Lance] and the firepower and insane damage ability from his fire spells. The results were devastating. And more importantly, repeatable.
He tore through the dungeon’s remaining mobs by trying out various combinations of his lesser blood magic and lesser fire magic. He knew the two were somewhat compatible, as he had seen fire vampire mages in his last life, but they were not nearly as powerful as he currently was.
