Chapter 48: Abandoned Temple



Chapter 48: Abandoned Temple

[You have created the Instant Domain [Hunting Domain (Rank 1-2): Abandoned Temple]!]

"Abandoned Temple…? It seems to work even without being on Earth… Just what principles does this Skill have?" wondered Frank, as his senses suddenly sharpened, alerting him from a lurking presence sneaking from behind, a large, flying creature screeched loudly baring its sharp fangs towards him!

"Screech!"

Frank glanced at an enormous, almost one meter of height bat covered in dark fur and possessing sharp and long fangs. Its crimson eyes flashed with an eerie light as it confronted Frank head-on!

"This thing… The monsters already began to appear straight away…?" said Frank, moving a few steps back as he barely dodged the creature's sharp fangs. Frank's detection abilities had become better and better as he improved his senses through leveling up.

"Screech!"

The giant bat flapped its wings as it quickly changed its direction, moving towards Frank again.

Frank quickly activated the Body Aura and then the Bronze Skin Skills, while using this intrepid bat for a few experiments.

He shielded himself with his arms as he let the bat bite into his arms!

"Screech!"

Frank felt a small amount of pain, as if something sharp pinched his skin, but did not manage to tear it down, these were effects of Bronze Skin and Body Aura stacked together, Frank could feel that his defensive capabilities had improved exponentially, but the drained Mana was more than he had expected, as it quickly began to outspeed his Mana regeneration.

As the bat tried to bite down Frank's arms, he quickly tried out his newest spell, generating Mana Threads and entangling the bat with them. With the use of Mana Manipulation, the bat was tightly entangled, falling into the ground with a loud 'bang!' sound.

Frank glanced at the struggling bat as the Mana Thread he created was tightly grabbing on the creature. Frank had just created yet another Spell, which he simply named as 'Bind', adding it to his Gray Magic.

"Phew… It seems that the binding can last for a few more seconds, but I better dispose of it straight away," said Frank, conjuring a Spinning Mana Bullet into the Bat's head, exploding into mana smoke as the bat quickly turned into black smoke and disappeared, leaving behind a tiny purple Magic Crystal.

Frank sensed a small number of Experience Points embrace his body like a refreshing cold breeze. He quickly saved the Magic Crystal as he detected several presences at the same time glancing at him, and alongside this, Frank's vision was greeted with a System notification, a new 'quest' that requested him to defeat twenty 'Giant Bats' for a Dungeon Boss to spawn.

"So, it's just like in there… they will only drop Magic Crystals, and the Boss will most probably give away more valuable things…" thought Frank, as he noticed that his Mana quickly regenerated back to full due to him having deactivated Body Aura and Bronze Skin momentarily.

"Damn, I should have asked Matsuo if he could have lent me the Magic Spear…" thought Frank, evading another Giant Bat while moving at great speed and intercepting it with a strong punch by using the strengthening of his Body Aura alone.

"SCREECH!"

The Giant Bat screeched in pain but seemed only annoyed, his bare punches were simply not enough to dispose of them, so he decided to simply finish it off through a shower of Mana Bullets.

"It seems that I am shaping myself into more of a mage than… anything else. Maybe if I learn that martial art techniques book… Well, that can wait for tomorrow!" said Frank, as he evaded two more Giant Bats while using Mana Threads and Bind to entrap them while finishing them off with four Spinning Mana Bullets.

As Frank kept fighting the creatures one after another, he kept using more and more magic, as he sensed that his Magic senses became sharper, and his ability to manipulate Mana was becoming better as well. He quickly started to think about new ways of using the Mana, shaping its sharp spear tips, and firing them towards the flying Giant Bats through midair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three flying spears he sent hit right into the creature, making it fall into the ground as it exploded into black smoke.

"I'll call this one… Flying Mana Spear" said Frank, deciding the name of a new Gray Magic Spell.

"Screech!"

Frank kept fighting the Bats, although his reflexes were sharp, whenever one approached him without him being capable of evading in time, he would activate Body Aura and Bronze Skin at the same time, blocking most of the damage while making use of the approached Bat to finish it off with a powerful Flying Mana Spear.

Meanwhile, because Frank was a bit obsessed with leveling Skills, he conjured 'Dirt' with his free hand every second, creating piles of dirt everywhere in the span of the time that it took him to reach twenty Giant Bats defeated.

As he neared the last Giant Bat needed, he kept detecting the presence of the monsters rushing towards him, which finally gave him a new Skill related to this in specific.

Ding!

[Due to having sharp senses of detection, you acquired the [Detection: Level 1] Skill!]

[Because you are good at detecting the spots and weakness of foes, you acquired the [Inspect: Level 1] Skill!]

"Oof! Two new Skills! Finally! …But isn't this way too fast? Perhaps is Abraddon's Divine Protection helping me gather proficiency for Skills faster…" thought Frank, as he made good use of his Inspect Skill to see the stats of the nearest Giant Bat.

[Name: Nameless.

[Race: Giant Bat.

[Active Skills: [Bite: Level 2], [Sonar Waves: Level 2]

"It really just shows all of its stats… But I bet I have to level up detection for stronger enemies…" thought Frank.

"Screech!"

As Frank inspected the creature's status, the Giant Bat flew towards him with great momentum, however, he just raised his arm as he let it bite on it.

"Mana Thread, Bind,"

Flash! Flash!

Easily taking the bait, the bat was bind completely as it fell into the ground, Frank finished it off with a single Flying Mana Spear, as the quest for the Dungeon Boss spawn was completed. He acquired twenty App Points and also the 'reward' of having the Boss Spawn straight away.

Flash!

The Black Smoke released by all the defeated Giant Bats gathered in a single place, as an enormous figure formed, reaching almost three meters of height with wings that easily surpassed the four meters.

"SCREECH!" roared the gigantic bat, glancing at Frank with voracious crimson eyes.

"This thing… here it is! It's probably Rank 2, I bet… Inspection!" said Frank with a fascinated smile, inspecting the monstrous creature in front of his sight before it was to fly towards his position.

[Name: Nameless.

[Race: Great Giant Bat.

[Types: Dark/Flying

[Monster Rank: 2

[Active Skills: [Bite: Level 3], [Sonar Waves: Level 4], [Intimidating Glare: Level 2], [Gust: Level 1]

"It's quite strong… And those Skills! Intimidating Glare and… Gust? What the hell is Gust? Like… wind?" thought Frank, and as if answering his question, the bat flapped its wings into the air as it began to release gusts of wind towards Frank.

"SCREECH!"

"Ah, damn, here it comes! Come at me!" said Frank, as he tried to entice the Bat to attack him with its fangs by yelling it. It was the same and obvious strategy of luring it in front so he could bombard it with strong spells while also adding the possibility of binding it in place.

And as if it didn't know any better, the Great Giant Bat flew towards Frank, while releasing strong gusts of winds towards him.

"GRRYYSHA!"

The Great Giant Bat was about to bite on Frank's arm, however, instead of doing so, it released a strong Sonar Wave through its stretch, making Frank shiver in dizziness and confusion.

"S-Shit!" said Frank, evading the confusion-inducing attack and then moving around the Bat's range.

"Flying Mana Spears! Flying Mana Spears!" he said, as the mana exuding from his body materialized into spear-shaped projectiles that flew towards the Great Giant Bat, hitting it directly!

"CRRRYYAAA!"

"Oh? It seems that whenever it does a big attack, it cannot dodge as easily…!" thought Frank.

The Great Giant Bat's body was drenched in blood, as its defense and resistance stats were still rather abysmal, making it susceptible to the damage of any kind.

Frank glanced at the creature shriek in pain as he approached it with great speed, using this opportunity of weakness to conjure Mana Thread and then Bind straight away!

Frank was someone that likes to grab any opportunity given to him, he was not willing to see the creature slowly wake up from its pain, he instinctively strived forward, catching the weakness of the creature!

"I got you!" said Frank, as the Great Giant Bat fell into the floor. The creature glanced at its last view, as dozens of spears made out of transparent blue mana rained upon it one after another.

Boom!
