Gordon Lazuli crushed the automaton between his hands.The automaton for its part simply dispelled into magic and dissipated.Eldora Galvano marvelled as she saw it happen.
"So it was the result of some kind of spell.Its too complex to be an elemental though it was made of multiple different materials.How did they achieve this?How long is the spells chant?"
"There likely is no chant."
Gordon bluntly put an end to Eldora's tirade of questions.She appeared surprised by his answer but hid it beneath an ecstatic attitude.
They entered the dungeon and experienced the feelings that came with spatial distortion.Gordon promptly fell into a spiked pit trap to which Eldora simply giggled.
"This dungeon still only has one floor but the mana tells me it has expanded well recently."
Gordon grinned at that it was nice to know something that his scholarly friend had no idea of.
Gordon removed himself from the pit and walked onward with Eldora's projection following close behind.They walked for a bit through the forest.
A metallic throwing knife was flung towards Gordon from behind a tree.Gordon grabbed it out of the air and glimpsed at it.
"Mark for death"
After that a bit of hostile mana attempted to enter his body but was negated by Gordon's presence and purity of mana.Gordon crushed the throwing knife in his hand and looked towards the throwers position.
An invisible figure with silent steps was quickly advancing towards Gordon's position.Gordon could still sense them though due to the fact that he was a higher rank then they were.
Gordon quickly grabbed the human by the face and lifted him.The invisibility and stealth was dispelled and Droit was revealed.He was now level five and had picked a class.
His new armour,equipment and skills was a sign of that.He was wearing black leather armour and had a bunch of sheathed throwing knives all over his body.
Droit was actually one of the first to reach level five and pick a class due to his stealth killing of orcs.He was about a bit stronger then a level 2 elite human thanks to his class.
The class he had picked was shadow assassin.He had gained rare rank skills such as Mark for death,poison weapon,shadow walking.He also had equipment such as throwing knife sheathes that could create more throwing knives through his mana,smoke bombs and thin metal wire to wrap around throats.
Droit had been ecstatic with his new class but his mind was filled with anything but joy right now.What kind of monster had wandered into their territory?It had seen through his stealth instantly.The only people who could reliably do that was Arther and the bosses.
Droit brandished his daggers and used poison weapon.His daggers became covered in lethal poison but his vision turned black.Gordon had tightened his grip around Droit's skull crumpling it instantly.
"Well aside from that fascinating use of magic that was rather underwhelming."
"Agreed"
A lot of war crys resounded as a lot of regular humans charged towards Gordon.They had sent Droit in to test the waters.Frank had told them they wouldn't be facing an ordinary opponent.They were able to quickly tell that this opponent could easily kill each of them 1v1.He had that sense of danger about him.
If they couldn't beat him that way then they would attempt to overwhelm him through sheer weight of quantity.They would make him waste as much mana and stamina as possible so the elites,bosses and Arther could handle him.
"Hmmm it seems the rabble is coming out of the woodwork."
Gordon picked up Gordon's drops which consisted of a scroll and blood essence crystals.The space ring on his middle finger glowed as it took in the drops.
The closest humans began to unleash attack skills and debuff skills which consisted of ice spikes,breathing fire,elemental arrows,sonic attacks and even thrown spears.
They did nothing to Gordon Lazuli.Such low level attacks couldn't even breach his aura to land against his skin or scales.
Gordon threw out some punches.The humans close to him found entire sections of their body or their limbs missing as they were turned to red mist.The level 4 human by the name of George who possessed the hardening skill was also turned to red mist even though he now possessed extra defensive skills such as consecutive hardening which enabled him to create multiple layers of hardening on his body and crystallise which enabled him to grow crystals on his hardened body parts.
Eventually Gordon had punched all of them to death and collected all the loot.Gordon had simply been too much for them.
"Let's continue exploring there should be stronger ones."
