After Jake recovered his mana, he went through the same tunnel he had made for Minerva. He could sense the fights happening above.
Droge and the Court Mage's battle was entertaining to view. The fight of that Grand Knight was also interesting.
But they still have done nothing for him to join in the battle. In his mind, Jake had already sentenced death to the monsters keeping the Marquis busy. They could always be replaced, anyway.
Jake was also not worried about the trap master escaping out of the dungeon as he had already blocked their exits. They would soon find themselves facing dead ends in all directions.
It was nearing two hours since the battle started. Climbing to the 9th floor, Jake's plan was now simple.
Corrupting those he who might be useful to him, and killing those he didn't want. To be honest, this was disappointing. This whole battle seemed underwhelming.
It could be because he was prepared from the start. If this reinforcement team had appeared when he had prepared nothing, Jake would have had much bigger loses than this.
Bam!
Tiiinnng!
He heard sounds of battle as soon as he reached the 9th floor. Jake flew over to the place where they were fighting, crossing various chambers.
Goblins used to reside on this floor, but now it was a dark and cold place. He had told every monster living here to go to the lower floors.
''She's tough!'' Minerva exclaimed at this moment, sensing Jake's presence.
He looked below and saw how the assassin clad in a black cape flickered from one location to another.
Whatever spell Minerva used, it was unable to hit the target. Her undead warriors laughably fell confronting this ghost-like assassin. The teleportation skill made this beastkin too overpowered.
Ash, the Dark Knight, couldn't even put up a fight against her. He was already injured from her numerous sneak attacks.
Whoosh!
Ariel suddenly appeared before Jake and swiped her magical dagger on his neck.
''Tch!''
He was caught off guard. Jake knelt and clutched his neck which began bleeding immediately. That dagger was poisoned as well!
[Minor Regeneration]
Jake hurriedly patched up that wound. Honestly, cutting his neck wasn't anything different from cutting his hand. He didn't need to breathe to survive. As long as his head wasn't sliced off, Jake would have control over his body.
So, he really shouldn't have panicked that much. It was because of his instincts as former human. Jake realized this only after his cut healed. He touched the red tissue on his neck which had formed a scar and withdrew a detoxification potion from his inventory.
Instead of appearing on his hand, it appeared inside robe's pocket. Jake took it out and acted as if he was going to open the bottle.
Whoosh!
The assassin suddenly teleported in front of him to steal that potion bottle. Jake smiled at this moment. She wasn't expecting it to be a bait. That bottle had disappeared from the demon's hand.
She was hit squarely on her stomach. Spilling out saliva and blood, the beast woman flew back only to disappear midair.
Ariel appeared a lot far into a distance and warily glanced at the three 4th Circle beings. She was contemplating whether she should retreat.
'No, I can still handle them alone… I have to wait for Ivan and Rowan to come…' She spat the blood in her mouth and wiped her lips, standing straight.
[Ding! You have made another individual commit a prideful sin. You gain 120 Evil Points!]
That message surprised Jake. However, he didn't lose focus. Using Demon Eye on this assassin, he saw her mana had depleted a lot.
Indeed, using that teleportation skill cost mana. It was a low amount, maybe 3-5 points, but knowing that she couldn't limitlessly teleport was somewhat comforting.
If he could, Jake would have stolen such a useful skill. However, his Greed-Specific Ability [Skill Steal] only worked on those ranked lower than him.
Now the only option left was to somehow deplete her mana, so that she wouldn't be able to get away. Of course, she would try to teleport out before that happened, so things were tricky.
Jake lightly kicked the ground and suddenly turned into a blur. Ariel just laughed at this demon trying to get her. She disappeared and appeared beside the Dark Knight, cutting his tendons again.
Before the man could attack her, she disappeared again. People didn't call her The Shadow Mistress for nothing. She had toyed with her opponents until they went mad. These three were nothing.
'Pride… What a relatable feeling…' Jake chuckled visibly.
''Fuck you!''
Minerva cursed at this moment, finding that the fox woman had cut her cheek. She hit the ground with her staff and a dark magic circle appeared. All mana converged beneath her feet.
Jake knew she was about to cast an area of effect skill. However, Ariel just teleported to the upper floor at this moment, leaving the three of them.
''Aarrggh!'' Minerva clenched her palms. Her undead seemed terrified by the pressure she emanated.
'Control yourself,' Jake told her with Magipathy. Although this necromancer was powerful, she had a fatal weakness. It was the importance she gave to her looks. It was easy to make her angry by just harming her skin.
''Master, how are we going to defeat such an opponent?'' Ash came to him at this moment.
Jake glanced above and closed his eyes. He could see that assassin inside a tunnel on the 8th floor, tending to her wounds.
'Ariel Decker huh…' To him, she felt like a rabbit. Looking like an easy prey, but quick to run away.
''We have to target her weakness…''
''And that is?'' Minerva touched her left cheek and asked.
''Her ability to teleport is a weakness in itself,'' Jake looked at her and said, ''Imagine what would happen if there was a trap right where she teleported.''
''And how would we know where she will teleport?''
Jake just smiled, tasting her salty curiosity.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
