Rise of a Dungeon Lord

Boss Room (II)

"Don't turn back, run for the castle, as long as we beat the boss we'll we can get out of this darn place"

With a shout, Arthur continued to lead the charge toward the castle. 

Just as they were about to reach it, a burst of loud laughter came from above, gaining their attention.

[Zehaha! human you're going in the wrong direction]

looking at the grinning vampire floating above a name flashed in everyone's mind.

"Khaled!"

[Zehaha, did you miss me? because I sure enjoyed watching you perform just now.]

[ Wait, wasn't there one more of you? Oh right, he died Zehaha]

Ignoring the increasingly gloomy look on their faces the vampire above continued to laugh completely disregarding his earlier elegant persona.

Just as he was about to continue talking, a loud shout interrupted him.

"Dammit I can't take this anymore!"

"If you lose, you die. if you don't fight, you can't win!"

Stepping to the front of the crowd was their classmate, Kevin , with a slightly rugged face, pitch-black hair, and eyes, he seemed ready to burst with anger.

"Kevin calm down, just feel his aura there's no need to fight him"

Just as Kevin was about to move closer a big hand from behind landed on his shoulder stopping him from moving forward.

"Song Ye let me go! I have to deal with this bat bastard!"

Ignoring him, he continued to walk forward with anger, tiredness, determination, and a bit of relief in his eyes

"Kevin! stop for me!"

However, he turned a deaf ear.

before anyone could say anything else, bit down on his finger turning into a Giant of about fifteen metres.

"Ahhh! take this, you darn vampire!"

throwing a fist with all his strength, time seemed to stagnate at the moment.

"Wow! I didn't expect Kevin to be so hidden"

"It's definitely an A-level ability!"

"No, it's definitely S-level!"

seeing the huge fist crashing down, the whole crowd burst into exclamations envying and shocked by the power of their classmate.

*Cough cough*

"you're all wrong, it's-"

Seeing the ignorance of his classmates, Jiang wanted to use this as an opportunity to establish his knowledge and snatch back the leadership role from Arthur , unfortunately things don't always go as planned.

"S-level Gigantification ability"

"It would have been rated SSS level unfortunately users of this ability need pain to transform and can only live for thirteen years"

Before Elric could finish speaking, Arthur who had just finished scanning Kevin with the help of the system subconsciously spoke out after seeing such an outrageous change from his classmate.

"Gasp!"

Seeing the side effects, their expression cooled down and no longer had the envy of before though few still had a look of jealousy written on their face.

"Now's not the time to talk, let's watch Kevin fight"

Seeing his classmates lose focus on the fight at hand, Arthur quickly brought their attention back.

Turning their attention, a look of surprise showed on their face.

At this moment Kevin 's fist was rapidly approaching Khaled. 

Just when everyone thought they were about to see a mashed vampire, his fist passed through Khaled's body leaving a black mist.

[Oh? What do we have here? it looks like someone is being disobedient]

with the same wide grin, he started to observe 

Kevin 's transformation and new found strength brought a gleam to his eyes, it was like he had discovered something interesting for the first time.

*No wonder milord pays so much interest in them, it seems I should take them more seriously*

Thinking of his lord, a look of reverence appeared on Khaled's face. 

However, just as he was about to envision the full image of his lord, Kevin 's scream rang in the background interrupting his concentration.

"Arghhhh! Damn Vampire, come fight me like a man!"

And Kevin  in a fit of rage unfortunately could not see the anger rising on Khaled's face.

*Foolish human! how dare he interrupt me from imagining milord's face*

Thinking of what just happened he became angry, completely disregarding his interest in humans at this moment.

With a loud shout, the gravity of Kevin  seemed to increase tenfold out of nowhere forcing one of his knees onto the ground.

"Kevin!!!"

"what the heck just happened!?"

Seeing the change of pace, the classmates wanted to rush and save Kevin , however, how could Khaled give them the opportunity?

[Insolence! it seems you've forgotten your position here completely]

putting away his smile he spoke in a deep voice

[Dark Water!]

With that command, his shadow began to rise until it formed a huge wave of about twenty metres heading in Kevin 's direction.

Not giving anyone a chance to react, it directly drowned Kevin in darkness not even leaving behind a corpse.

~hssss

Silence filled the air as the scene in front of them was too shocking.

[Now that I've disposed of the trash, let's continue our earlier discussion.]

[Any opinions?]

"....."

Hearing such an obvious sarcastic question everyone chose to keep quiet especially after watching a classmate die with no resistance to fight back.

[Good no questions]

With a clap of his hands, he continued to explain their current situation 

[As I was saying before being so rudely interrupted, You're going the wrong way, look ahead]

It was then that they noticed that the castle they were all so close to had disappeared.

[Zehaha I forgot to tell you, the castle you see here is a reflection of the one above]

With his usual laugh albeit in an awkward tone, he pointed above his head.

Turning their heads up everyone noticed the exact castle they were approaching directly above their heads.

"..."

[Zehaha Don't be like that, speak up don't be shy, I don't bite]

"...."

Seeing there was no reply he cut to the chase

[Although I made a slight error, as a proper gentleman, I'll help all of you land directly in the castle]

As he spoke, he took a handkerchief out of nowhere and began to fold it.

"..."

Silence as everyone still looked at him blankly with an  'i don't believe you, get out of here you vampire scumbag' face

[zehaha I'm sure you don't trust me, but don't worry there's a catch]

As soon as he said this, everyone had an ominous premonition, especially Elric  who had already started to slightly tremble.

[All of you may go apart from him]

he spoke pointing to Elric .

"Wha-"

However, before anyone could speak Khaled waved his hands making everyone apart from Elric disappear on the spot.

After making sure that everyone had gone, he floated over to a trembling Elric and said something that made him feel chills all over.

[Now shall we talk now Elric? Or rather Milord's mysterious benefactor!]
