Chapter 26: Dungeon Raid [5]
The fight began in a flash as a large orb of slime formed above the Slob's body. With a swift gesture of its arm, the orb howled toward me.
My plan was simple. I wasn't planning on fighting the drifter Headon yet. First, my saints had to do their job so I could properly gauge his strength.
'Even those with overwhelming strength can still lose,' I thought, commanding Gobo to move first.
He was the weakest out of the three, but that didn't mean his ability was weak. With my awakening, he too had received some power-ups.
Gobo moved stealthily toward the drifter, his hands coated with cold white ice. He slipped from one shadow to another, trying his best to avoid a direct clash with the monster.
Dodging the orb that was about to hit me, Gobo finally slipped out from the narrow shadow between two cathedral chairs and sent his fist flying toward the drifter.
Faint traces of ice formed on the drifter's body, which cemented my initial reasoning. The drifter wasn't darkness, it just looked like it.
But even then, the attack did little to nothing to harm the drifter, but I never expected more.
The ice magic fizzled out as I caught sight of Gobo, who was slowly being pulled into the drifter's body.
I immediately called his shadow back, stopping his dismissal midway so that he was just a few steps away from the drifter.
This time, Gobo formed three ice shards over his head while summoning the hunter dagger vestige. He immediately imbued it with mana, which made the silver blade turn pale white.
