Chapter 394 Boss Room Battle
After resting for nearly seven hours, Ethan, Nicole, and Samantha felt revitalized.
Unlike the carefree teenagers, Lady Johanna didn’t get much sleep because she didn’t dare lower her guard inside a Dungeon.
She was even feeling a little helpless because she had to follow Nicole’s Team who lacked self-awareness.
Who would sleep inside in a place filled with Monsters?
Also, who in their right mind would bring two beds in their storage rings?
In fact, how did two beds even manage to fit a storage ring? At most, a storage ring was like a cabinet. It had a very limited amount of space. Maybe Ethan's was the size of a closet, but even then, fitting one bed was already pushing it, not to mention two!
But Lady Johanna didn’t say anything and simply rose when Ethan and the others woke up.
The young man even took out a pot of chicken porridge made by the kitchen workers at Brynhildr Academy and asked Nicole to heat it up.
His control over fire wasn’t as good as Nicole’s, who specialized in Fire and Water.
Yes. Nicole’s Main Elements were actually Fire and Water Magic, and not the Ice Magic she used every time she fought.
Ethan assumed that this was the power of her Legacy and that Nicole was focusing on it to better understand how this power worked.
“The taste of home,” Samantha said after taking a spoonful of porridge. “I miss the food in the academy. It’s great that you brought something like this Ethan. How much food did you prepare for this journey?”
“If I were alone, my food supplies would last five months at most,” Ethan replied. “But with the two of you joining in, it will only last two to three months, give or take.”
“…”
“…”
“… Who the hell would pack up five months’ worth of food?”
While Nicole and Lady Johanna were rendered speechless, Samantha looked at Ethan in disbelief.
She could understand if the young man had packed enough food to last for a month or two, but five whole months?
That was simply unheard of.
Ethan didn’t reply to Samantha’s question and simply enjoyed his meal. Even he was aware that his preparations were over the top. Even so, he would rather have five months’ worth of food than have nothing at all.
Morrigan’s Ring prevented anything put inside it from spoiling, including food. Even if the food in his storage ring remained untouched for eternity, it would smell and taste as good as it would the day Ethan had placed it inside his storage ring.
After eating their meal and packing up the beds, Nicole briefed everyone on their strategy just in case they forgot.
“Remember, focus on protecting Samantha and target the Hobgoblin Archers,” Nicole stated. “I will handle the rest.”
Ethan and Samantha both nodded their heads in understanding.
Lady Johanna didn’t make any comments and just followed behind the three teenagers.
As soon as they entered the room, all the torches that hung on the wall lit up one by one.
Loud cries echoed inside the Boss Room as a Goblin that was over three meters tall roared at the trespassers that entered its Domain.
It was none other than the Goblin King, who was also the Boss of the Fifth Floor of the Weeping Dungeon.
Samantha cast a spell that enveloped her and Ethan in a blue barrier of light.
Her specialties were healing and protective magic.
The only offensive spell she knew to cast was Arrows of Light.
Ethan, on the other hand, walked out of the barrier, but he didn’t wander off too far. He only stood a meter away from Samantha’s barrier so that he could take care of the four Hobgoblin Archers, who had appeared as the Boss Monster’s guards.
“Aqua Anguis!” Ethan pointed his wand at the ground in front of him and summoned dozens of Water Snakes that charged toward the Hobgoblin Archers like a tide.
This was Ethan’s most used spell due to its flexibility, control, and power.
After deepening his relationship with Lilian, his control over Water Magic grew even more, allowing him to control each Water Snake if need be.
In the past, he just unleashed this spell with the intention of letting the Water Snakes chase his target.
But it was different now. Not only was his Water Magic stronger, but now the Water Snakes could target anything he wanted with just a thought.
The dozens of Water Snakes were divided into groups of six and attacked the four Hobgoblin Archers separately.
This prevented the Hobgoblin Archers from mounting any kind of resistance and prevented them from attacking Nicole, who was engaging the Goblin King and the six Hobgoblin Fighters at the same time.
“Samantha, attack the Hobgoblin Archers with your magic while I restrain them,” Ethan ordered.
“Okay!” Samantha nodded and pointed her wand at the Hobgoblin that was tied up like a spring roll by Ethan’s Water Snakes.
“Sagittae Lucis!”
An arrow of light flew from the tip of Samantha’s wand and hit one of the Hobgoblin’s in the center of its forehead.
She did the same for the three other Hobgoblins, ending their lives without much effort.
‘Her aim is good,’ Ethan thought. “And her hands don't shake when she points her wand at her enemies. Looks like I worried for nothing.”
Unlike Nicole, Ethan was still unsure about how proficient Samantha was in fighting in a group.
Because of this, he didn’t finish off the four Hobgoblins and simply bound them with his Water Snakes.
He wanted to gauge Samanthat’s fighting ability to let him know what to do in the future.
After defeating the four Hobgoblin Archers, Ethan once unleashed dozens of Water Snakes to bind the Hobgoblin Fighters, preventing them from encircling Nicole.
Although he was confident that Nicole could handle fighting against her enemies, he wasn’t someone who would just sit back and watch his teammate fight alone.
After their bodies were bound by the Water Snakes, Nicole didn’t hesitate to decapitate all of them, turning them into particles of light.
When the small fries were eliminated, Nicole finally focused her attention on the Goblin King, whose attacks were nothing to scoff at.
One clean hit and Nicole would find herself in a world of pain and might even die if she was careless.
Ethan no longer supported Nicole because he could tell that she wanted to fight the Goblin King alone.
Because of this, he stood guard beside Samantha and watched the Magical Knight dance a deadly dance that soon turned the three-meter-tall Goblin King into particles of light.
