Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 69: A-rank Dungeon [3]
Chapter 69: A-rank Dungeon [3]
Two E-rank Aberrants stood before Brandon with their grotesque bodies hunched and twitching with erratic movements.
They were humanoid in shape, but their bodies were unnatural.
The one on the left crouched low as its fingers scraped against the dungeon floor, sending a sharp screech through the air.
The other raised its arm, and the muscles twisted unnaturally as it clenched its clawed fingers into a fist.
Brandon’s muscles tensed as the Aberrant on the left lunged first, closing the distance in an instant.
Brandon reacted in time before a clawed swipe aimed straight for his throat.
He twisted his body to the side, feeling the rush of air as the claws barely missed him.
He quickly counterattacked and his dagger flashed in a clean arc, slashing toward the Aberrant’s extended arm.
Clang!
The Aberrant twisted its arm at an unnatural angle and blocked the strike with the hard surface of its forearm.
Brandon’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t stop.
Using the momentum of his slash, he spun on his heel and brought his other fist up in a sharp uppercut.
Crack!
His punch connected squarely with the Aberrant’s jaw, sending a sharp shock through his knuckles.
The creature reeled back, but before Brandon could press his advantage, the second Aberrant struck.
Brandon quickly managed to raise his arms in time to block as a powerful kick slammed into his forearm.
The impact sent him skidding backward as his boots grinded against the stone floor.
The first Aberrant had already regained its balance and lunged at him again, this time using all four of its limbs like a wild beast.
It swiped low, aiming to take his legs out from under him.
Brandon reacted instinctively.
He pushed off the ground, flipping backward, and as he landed, he used the ether flowing through his body, reinforcing his muscles and speeding up his reaction time.
The second Aberrant came at him again, leaping into the air to strike from above.
Brandon exploded forward in a burst of speed and slid just beneath its airborne body.
The moment he was past it, he twisted sharply and lashed out with his dagger.
Schlick!
The blade sliced through the Aberrant’s thigh, cutting it down deeply.
"KRAAARGHHH!!" A high-pitched screech echoed through the dungeon.
The first Aberrant was already behind him.
He ducked just as claws swiped over his head and without hesitation, he twisted his body and drove his elbow into the creature’s gut.
Thud!
The Aberrant staggered, but it retaliated instantly and lashed out with its long arm, forcing Brandon to jump back.
The second Aberrant landed with a heavy thud as dark liquid oozed from its wound.
Despite the injury, its glowing eyes burned with the same murderous intent.
Brandon tightened his grip on his dagger.
He needed to finish this.
Taking a deep breath, he focused his ether into his legs and shot forward in an instant, closing the distance before the Aberrant could react.
*Sleesh* His blade lashed out in a deadly arc gaming for the kill.
The Aberrant tried to block again, twisting its arm unnaturally... but the same trick won’t work twice.
At the last second, Brandon flicked his wrist, changing the angle of his strike.
The dagger carved through its shoulder, splitting muscle and tendon.
The creature shrieked "GRAARGH!"
Brandon didn’t stop.
He twisted his body and slammed his knee into the Aberrant’s stomach, sending it sprawling backward.
The second Aberrant came at him again with its claws aiming for his back.
But Brandon had already anticipated it.
Using the momentum of his attack, he spun in place and ducked under the incoming strike.
In the same motion, he slammed his foot into the ground and launched himself upward.
His knee slammed the Aberrant’s chin.
CRACK!
The creature’s head snapped back from the force, and before it could recover, Brandon followed up with a downward slash of his dagger.
The blade sank deep into its neck.
"GWARGHHH!" The Aberrant let out a wet gurgle before collapsing.
One down.
Brandon barely had time to breathe before the second Aberrant came at him.
But it was slower now, weakened from the deep cut in its shoulder.
He darted forward and feinted to the left.
The Aberrant swung in response, falling for the bait.
SHLIK!
He drove the blade into the creature’s chest, right between its ribs.
"GHWAK!" The Aberrant let out a choked gasp and Brandon twisted the dagger. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
With a final, gurgling cry, the creature collapsed to the ground.
*THUD*
Brandon exhaled heavily, his chest rising and falling as he stood over the bodies of the two Aberrants.
Looking at him, Naevora smiled proudly and clapped her hands, walking close to him "Not bad, brat. Not bad at all."
Naevora nudged one of the dead Aberrants with the tip of her boot before glancing at him. "Looks like they have cores. Wanna take ’em?"
With a shake of his head, Brandon replied "Nope... I don’t want to dig up its body and take the core."
Naevora just chuckled and spoke "How do you feel now?"
He shrugged and replied "I am good. No injuries either..."
Her lips twitched in frustration ’It has only been a week since he learned this all-ether stuff and he is already strong enough to kill E rank bosses with no injuries, and that too without using ether skills.’
Her gaze flickered to the dagger in his hand. ’Sure, it’s a high-grade weapon, but that alone wouldn’t be enough. His instincts and his battle awareness are really good.’
’It is not simply trained... seems like he was born with this genetics.’
’Well, I shouldn’t praise him more. that will make him arrogant about his talent.’
She raised her hand and gently patted his head "You are doing good."
Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle feeling her pat, and muttered "I am not a kid..."
"Oh, you are..."
She ruffled his hair for a bit and retracted her hand.
Looking up at her, he asked "Now teach me the little technique you told me that you will teach."
She tilted her head in confusion "What technique."
He gave her a blank stare "Now, don’t play dumb..."
Seeing his face, she couldn’t help but giggle "Ok, look closely..."
She raised her hand, and as her finger touched the air, the air suddenly condensed and formed a blue round disc out of thin air in the size of a dinner plate.
Hm? Brandon frowned slightly and asked "What to do with this?"
She smiled and raised her foot as the blue hovering disc appeared below her foot.
She stood on top of it and smiled "You can’t fly.. so this is a good technique to leap around and reach high ground."
With that, she suddenly kicked off from the platform, propelling herself forward into the air.
Another circular disc appeared at her next landing point in mid-air.
The moment her foot touched the disc, she used it as a springboard and launched herself to the left.
Brandon’s gaze followed her movements as she dashed through the air, quickly moving from one disc to another.
"You can even use them like steps."
Naevora demonstrated by creating a series of platforms leading upward.
She climbed higher with each leap, and the discs formed in perfect synchronization below her feet with her momentum.
"And you can also use it during combat to gain some advantage..."
Her body blurred as she dashed through the air, kicking off one disc to another in quick succession.
*swoosh* *swoosh* Brandon could not even follow her movements and all he could see is just the blurring figure dancing in the air.
She suddenly twisted her body, flipping backward in midair.
This time, a larger blue disc appeared beneath her ass just enough for her to sit on it.
Crossing her legs casually, she leaned forward, resting her chin on her knuckles with a grin "Cool, right?"
The disc slowly descended until it hovered a few feet above the ground, aligning with Brandon’s eye level.
"These could come in handy..."
Brandon blinked and snapped out of his daze ’Holy shit...’
