After dispatching most of the monsters in the vicinity, Rain began to advance towards the location of the Boss monster.
Although he was feeling weary and drained from the battle, he knew he had to move quickly to clear the gate before someone notices the gate.
As Rain approached the massive structure towering in the distance, he noticed the intricate carvings that adorned the rough stone walls.
The images depicted warriors engaged in battle with monstrous creatures, their faces etched with determination and fear.
The entrance to the structure was a large, ominous gateway, guarded by two stone statues of snarling beasts.
The air around the structure was thick with foreboding energy as if warning Rain of the danger that lay ahead.
However, will Rain turn his back?
No.
He entered through the gateway cautiously.
The area was a large circular chamber, dimly lit by flickering torches mounted on the walls.
The stone floor was worn and uneven, with cracks and crevices that seemed to writhe with shadows.
In the center of the chamber stood a raised platform, upon which the Dullahan was perched, its body wreathed in a shimmering black aura.
Rain narrowed his eyes, studying the monster from afar. The Dullahan was, even more imposing up close, its body towering above him as he approached.
The monster was a Dullahan, a low-ranked creature without a horse to ride. Nevertheless, it had the appearance of a headless undead knight, much like those found in RPG games.
Its body was clad in rusted battered armor, and it carried a worn and damaged sword.
The exposed neck area is typically depicted as raw and bloody, with blackened veins visible beneath the surface of the skin.
Instead of eyes, there were empty eye sockets which added to the creature's eerie and otherworldly appearance.
"It's so scary, it would be great if this was some horror movie," Rain commented.
He started to make a strategy to kill the Dullahan.
The Dullahan was known for its medium speed, high strength, and stamina, but had low intelligence.
"Long-range attacks would be the most effective, but since I am not a mage and gunshots would not do much damage as the Dullahan is wearing the armor." Rain pondered as he stared at Dullahan.
"I guess I can only go for close combat," He decided to attack his opponent, the Dullahan.
Without wasting any time, he threw a mana grenade toward the Dullahan, which exploded with a loud boom.
Taking advantage of the Dullahan's momentary confusion, Rain swiftly approached it and struck with his sword.
The blade glimmered in the light as it sliced through the air, landing a powerful blow on the Dullahan's body.
However, the Dullahan was not an easy foe to defeat. It retaliated with a series of swift and deadly attacks, its movements as fast as lightning.
Rain was barely able to dodge the Dullahan's attacks, his heart pounding in his chest.
"That head is sick," He noticed that the Dullahan was carrying its head under its arm, he felt like two eyes from the otherworld were staring at him.
Rain was barely able to dodge the Dullahan's attacks and was getting cold sweats as his heart pounded in his chest.
He thought, "I can't keep this up forever. I need to find an opening and take this guy down."
Rain's feet danced across the ground as he evaded each attack, his eyes never leaving the Dullahan.
He kept his cool, waiting for the right moment to strike.
And when it came, he lunged forward with his sword, the sharp blade cutting through the air and connecting with the Dullahan's body.
The Dullahan let out a bone-chilling screech as it stumbled back, the sound echoing through the air.
Though it was an undead creature, it could still feel pain.
The Dullahan summoned a group of low-grade undead to attack Rain, hoping to catch him off guard.
But Rain was ready for anything. He quickly retreated and threw a mana bomb toward the Dullahan, causing a massive explosion that decimated the undead army.
As the smoke cleared, Rain and the Dullahan faced each other once again.
The Dullahan charged forward, his eyes wild with fury. Rain braced himself, his sword at the ready.
Rain prepared himself for the battle against the Dullahan.
The undead monster charged at him with its sword held high. Rain swiftly dodged to the side, feeling the rush of wind as the sword missed him by mere inches.
The Dullahan continued its onslaught, swinging its sword with deadly precision.
Rain evaded each attack with ease, his footwork precise and his movements fluid. He waited for the right moment to strike.
Finally, he saw his opening.
As the Dullahan thrust its sword forward, Rain lunged forward with his own sword, slicing through the air and striking the Dullahan's body with all his strength.
The Dullahan stumbled back, but quickly regained its footing and charged at Rain once again.
The battle continued like this for what felt like an eternity, each opponent exchanging blow after blow.
Rain's movements were agile and graceful, while the Dullahan's were brutal.
The sound of swords clashing echoed through the air, filling Rain's ears with a deafening roar.
Finally, Rain landed the decisive blow, striking the Dullahan's body with all his strength and bringing it down for good.
The Dullahan let out one final scream before collapsing to the ground, defeated.
"Huff... Hah... Huff..." Rain's chest was heaving with exhaustion and he was covered in cuts and bruises from the battle.
Despite his injuries, he managed to collect his rewards from the boss monster and make a swift escape through the portal.
The portal was a mystical gateway that led to different parts of the world.
It was activated by defeating boss monsters like the Dullahan and only remained open for a short period.
As he emerged from the portal, Rain quickly mounted his Space Sprinter and rode away.
After traveling some distance he stopped his vehicle, turned his head, and saw that the gate disappeared.
He was relieved to see the gate disappear behind him, as it usually did after defeating the boss monster.
Nonetheless, he knew that there was a chance for the portal to malfunction if the gate isn't cleared for a long time. Therefore, he was grateful to the patrolling teams that monitored the area.
Finally, Rain arrived at the Inn where he had stayed the previous night. He took a relaxing bath and rested for a while. The comfort of the bed was so inviting that he quickly fell asleep.
After several hours had passed, Rain emerged from the Inn where he had been staying.
He had managed to sell all of the items he had obtained from the portal, except for the growth elixir, which he decided to keep for later.
As he walked towards his Space Sprinter, Rain thought to himself, "I might need this growth elixir in the future. It's better to save it for later."
He decided that it was not the right time to use it, and he needed to focus on executing his plan.
He had just completed his outdoor training, and with the elixirs, he had obtained from the black market, his Rank had risen to E+, which was an average level at the academy.
Rain grinned to himself and muttered, "Finally, my Rank has increased. Now, I can get closer to achieving my goal."
Rain had just finished his "three days" of outdoor training, and his birthday was approaching in "two days".
Rain thought to himself, "My birthday is in two days. I must prepare for the final phase of my plan before then."
With this thought in mind, he started driving his Space Sprinter toward his home.
Rain couldn't help but feel excited as he anticipated the outcome of his plan. He chuckled inwardly, confident that everything was going according to his calculations.
"I can't wait to see the results of my hard work and planning," Rain thought to himself.
