Dreambreaker : The extra from 2393

Chapter 40: Dungeon Trials[2]

[ Battle Mode activated], Nano's mechanical voice resounded in Noah's head.

In response, a swarm of five billion microscopic nanites surged forward, converging upon Noah's iris.

As they infiltrated his once black iris, a transformative effect began to take hold, gradually turning it from its original color to a striking shade of gray.

[Three monsters drawing near from the 2 o'clock position,one other monster approaching from the 1 o'clock position. The distance separating them is 45 meters and 50 meters respectively.]

....

I was captivated by the breathtaking sight that unfolded before my eyes.

The entire expanse in front of me was adorned with a mesmerizing display of vibrant green grid lines.

These perfectly aligned horizontal and vertical lines intersected with precision, forming a mosaic of interconnected squares.

As I gazed upon the scene, every intricate detail of the surrounding objects, be it the majestic trees or the weathered rocks, manifested in my augmented reality vision.

Each element presented itself with meticulous analytical data, resembling the information displayed on a computer screen.

Step-Step-Step

I cautiously ventured forward, surrounded by the rocky terrain and rolling hills that dotted the landscape.

With a slight tilt of my head to the left, a small pond revealed itself, adding a serene touch to the scene.

Yet, amidst this tranquil backdrop, a sense of anticipation hung in the air.

Nano alerted me to the presence of four approaching mana beasts, reminding me to stay vigilant.

Soon enough,

three wolf-like creatures entered my field of vision, their black fur contrasting sharply against their piercing red eyes.

One particular black wolf stood out, slightly larger than the rest, positioned not far behind the other three.

"Blood hounds", I murmured, identifying the fierce beasts.

As I continued to stride forward, a black machete materialized in my right hand, conjured from my dimensional bracelet.

But before my right foot could make contact with the ground, my perspective suddenly shifted, and I found myself perched above a velvety black seat.

It appeared as if I had been transported to a different location, positioned in the opposite direction from my intended path.

I looked below to find that I was seating on top of the largest Blood Hound, the one who was behind the other three.

Confusion clouded my thoughts until my eyes fell upon the radiant glow of the red bracelet in my left hand.

"Nano used the [Mystery Of Teleportation]. But how?"

My left hand held high in the air, I cast my gaze upon the bewildered trio of blood hounds, their heads tilting in unison, perplexed by the sudden turn of events.

With a single fluid movement, a brilliant surge of yellow electricity crackled in my left hand as it reached out and made electrifying contact with the neck of the bloodhound I was seated on.

Zzzzttt~

"Taser", I murmured under my breath, a frown etching on my face.

"Awooooorghhh!!" The blood hound unleashed a furious roar, its futile struggle quickly waning as its knees buckled, and its head succumbed to the earth below.

Yet, my right hand, in a rapid blur of motion, approached its neck with startling velocity, brandishing the trusty machete in a poised stabbing posture.

Chuck~ The blade sank deep.

Simultaneously, my upper body leaned forward, assuming a shift in my seat, deftly redistributing my center of gravity, my weight now firmly resting on the blade.

Chuk~ A peculiar sound resonated through the air as the machete nestled deep within the blood hound's neck.

Krkrktk-

With a twist from both hands, a bone-crushing crunch filled the space, further punctuating the unfolding spectacle.

Zzzttt - A brilliant burst of yellow lightning shot forth from both of my hands, illuminating the surroundings like a fiery electric display.

The glimmering machete in my grip seemed to pulse with raw power.

[One threat neutralized] Nano's mechanical voice echoed resoundingly in my mind.

In the blink of an eye, a F-rank monster died.

Grrr ha grreere~ Peculiar and unsettling growls permeated the air, drawing my attention upward.

Three blood hounds gradually closed in on me, their menacing presence palpable as their teeth bared disdainfully.

Two of the approaching adversaries lunged forward with alarming speed, propelled by a primal instinct to sink their jaws into my flesh.

Meanwhile, the third blood hound maintained a cautious distance, a flicker of wariness glimmering in its eyes.

Suddenly, my body moved autonomously, propelled upward from my previously seated position, defying the laws of gravity.

In my augmented reality field of vision, three distinct blue boxes materialized, highlighting the imminent threat posed by the oncoming blood hounds.

In a mesmerizing display, the blue box hovering over the third blood hound that approached me slowly unlike the other two, began to pulsate, its hue transforming into a foreboding shade of red.

Three words materialized above the box within my augmented vision, its declaration clear and resolute: Target selected - Execute.

All this while my body remained suspended in mid-air from the prior jump ; it gracefully spun and rotated with precision.

With the force generated from this whirling motion, my machete descended in a swift slicing arc. My right hand firmly gripping the hilt, while my left hand clenched the blade in a reversed orientation.

The scene blurred as the familiar sensation of teleportation enveloped me.

Chuck~ A distinctive sound, reminiscent of a sharp object piercing through meat, resonated through the air.

Eagerly, I gazed forward, only to find myself positioned behind the two other blood hounds that had previously sprinted towards me.

I gazed backward to see my machete deep inside the other hound's chest. Right where the heart should be.

'This level of precision...'

With a climbing rotation, my body rolled in tandem with the blade, my left hand seamlessly seizing the creature by its neck just as it lunged to bite at me, its ferocity momentarily restrained.

Kieeek-Kieeek~a plaintive cry erupted from the blood hound below, its desperate plea reverberating through the air as if a wounded dog bared its soul.

Witnessing this scene, the other two hounds swiftly sprinted towards me, their fierce growls in unnerving harmony with the pitiful sound below.

"Grrr-roar"

Yet, my hands persisted, relentless in their twisted dance, until the creature's desperate cries tapered off into a haunting silence, its life extinguished.

From my dimensional bracelet, a vial of Mana Enhancer materialized in my left hand.

Serenely, I observed as the other two blood hounds closed in, their predatory determination unyielding.

Swallowing the entire contents of the vial, my throat constricted with anticipation, an electric surge coursing through my body.

Mana: G- │ 100/100 ? Mana: F+? │ 300/300

*Swosh*

One of the blood hound lunged from above, hunger emanating from its predatory leap.

My body contorted in a graceful backward rotation, limbs coiling into a defensive turtle-like stance.

As the wolf like creature drew near, I seized it with precision, the sound of its struggle melding with my senses.

In an instant, my body whirled, harnessing the explosive force within.

A swift kick launched the blood hound into the air, a symphony of sound accompanying its flight.

With calculated precision, I gracefully landed on one knee, my body fluidly repositioning itself. My gaze remained fixed on the lone blood hound that leaped towards me, its intentions clear.

In a seamless motion, I adjusted my grip on the machete, holding it in a reverse grasp as my body propelled forward.

Activating my momentum transfer skill, I tapped into the reservoir of mana within me, absorbing a substantial amount of 150 mana in one swift surge.

S L A S H

A resounding slash filled the air as my blade met its mark.

In an instant, a head soared through the atmosphere, a macabre testament to the demise of yet another blood hound.

Casting a glance behind me, I discovered the last monster fleeing in fear, its survival instincts overriding its predatory nature.

"Mmm, indeed. Mana beasts possess a trace of intelligence", I murmured, acknowledging their limited cognition as a testament to the intricate balance between instinct and sentience.

.....

(class A1)

"All clear!" Aurora's voice resounded through the air, a triumphant declaration that echoed with relief.

"How many monsters did we manage to take down?" Aeravat inquired, his curiosity evident in his tone.

"A total of 209", came the response, delivered with an air of accomplishment.

Hesitating for a moment, Aeravat made a decision.

"Alright, let's set up camp here!"

"As for the remaining hundred students, they can venture forth and explore the location of the dungeon", he directed, his gaze turning towards Luke.

Acknowledging his orders without protest, Luke dutifully replied, "Understood!" With the unwavering loyalty of a trusted soldier, he set off to carry out his assigned task.

Takahashi, who was engrossed in cleaning his Glaive, couldn't help but voice his concern. "I still can't believe you're allowed ' some' students to be on their own", he stated, his voice tinged with disapproval.

Aeravat remained resolute in his stance. "It's their choice. We shouldn't dwell on such matters",he responded, his words carrying the weight of his conviction.

Snorting dismissively, Takahashi retorted, "Oh, right! Your moral righteousness blinds you, my friend. We could have utilized them more effectively."

"But since they are on their own, they'll simply get eliminated"

An edge crept into Aeravat's tone as he pushed back against the critique.

"Let me remind you who the leader is here. You are not my friend. Behave yourself", he warned, his authority unyielding. "Engaging in petty squabbles with young masters suffering from eighth-grader syndrome simply do not make it to my priority list."

With those words, Aeravat forged ahead, leaving Takahashi alone.

....

"Engaging in petty squabbles with young masters suffering from eighth-grader syndrome simply do not make it to my priority list."

the mechanical radio sound resounded in my head.

With a nod of approval, I responded, "Okay Nano, cut off the transmission. Now, let's see what Class A2 is doing."

Thanks to Nano's hacking capabilities, I possessed complete control over the entire map of this place, a privilege not granted to anyone else.

Furthermore, I had the ability to eavesdrop on the conversations of others through their smart bracelets.

[Affirmative]
