NOVEL WEB Chapter 32 - Floor 1 Boss Battle
With the reinvigorated Bloodlust forcefully improving his body's power and the snow leopard glaring at him prepared to pounce at his prey at any moment, an event was initiated.
{Ding, the host has entered the final battle of Floor 1 and this will now be the host's checkpoint until he completes the Boss Battle} the system announced.
{Ding, Boss Battle initiated - LVL 10 Snow Leopard}
Adam had released his suppression of the Bloodlust characteristic, that he had previously worried about losing control. He enjoyed the exhilarating rush of fury and knew it gave him strength so he allowed the Bloodlust to roam freely through his body.
The Dungeon was the perfect place to relieve the thick Bloodlust that he gained through the system.
The beast roared at him as he glared back with his burning desire to ruthlessly slaughter it, as he tightly clenched his daggers.
Adam had inversely, instead of suppressing and controlling his Bloodlust, had not only let it roam freely but was boosted the power and control that it held over his body as he gave in to the all-consuming and insatiable desire to kill.
In the dungeon, Adam was not worried about any consequences and with the ever-increasing power it granted him, it was perfect for him to hunt in dungeons.
As he did so he felt his blood begin to literally boil and his body, that was already in pain, felt as though it was internally burning as the pain surged to the level that his mind shut down, but his thick Bloodlust was the only thing keeping him in a semi-conscious state.
Adam's mind was no longer functioning as his pupils dilated and his body was only capable of moving with its Bloodlust and instincts guiding it as his skin began to visibly tint red and burn and his veins were inhumanely bulging almost at the point of bursting.
Unintentionally Adam had unlocked two extensions of the Bloodlust characteristic but he didn't receive the notification from the system that knew that he was in no state to hear the announcement.
He could feel his blood burning and evaporating, and while it did so he felt his body surging with power.
But if his nervous system was functioning, he would have felt excruciating pain on a level that he had never felt before.
However, something else seemed to have caused him to enter a crazed state where he was reliant on merely Bloodlust and instinct and was no longer conscious or aware to feel the pain.
The snow leopard unlike in the sub-dungeon was not restricted by anything as it slowly approached Adam prepared to pounce on its prey.
Meanwhile, Adam who had reached a peak in power, suddenly burst towards the snow leopard with its boosted speed from both his equipped daggers and the Bloodlust characteristic.
The gap in LVL was covered by Adam's self-sacrificial methods that he had accidentally used to increase his strength as the snow leopard pounced at Adam who was charging towards it.
By instinct, Adam dashed to the side barely evading the frontal attack, but his thirst for blood was overwhelming his instincts, that were focused on survival, as he launched himself onto the beast and dug both his daggers into its side.
The beast not expecting such a reckless attack, howled in pain, as it whacked Adam off its side who held tightly onto his blades as he was sent crashing into the snow.
In a frenzied state, the additional pain was nothing compared to the pain his body was already in as his HP continued to fall at rapid rates and he charged directly at the beast.
Roaring at the top of his lungs, unable to speak words in his berserk state, he crossed both his blades across his chest and launched twin crossed energy blades at the snow leopard's face slicing its face apart.
Everything Adam learnt through the system was taught to him with complete mastery of what was available to him at his current state and was embedded into not only his mind, but also his body, making it become a natural reflex and instinct to Adam.
Instinctively using the skill, had weakened the snow leopard massively, as Adam jumped into the air at the snow leopard that was blinded by the flood of blood over its face.
As he launched himself into the air he landed directly above the large snow leopard and using his downwards momentum struck down with his twin blades onto the head of the snow leopard and with such power and momentum, he managed to strike with incredible force.
The strike was enough to crack the skull of the beast and barely pierce through as he was swatted by the beast's paw and sent rolling away in the snow.
It was a fatal strike and the snow leopard was dying with its brain pierced by Adam's two blades and its frontal skull being shattered by the impact, but Adam was also dying and had few dwindling HP left.
He began to vomit blood profusely as his blood vessels burst and a thin layer of dried blood was forming around his burnt skin.
Adam wasn't dying from the attacks of the beast but the dying was caused by the extensions of the Bloodlust he had accidentally used that had pushed past his body's limits.
Despite it granting him great power boosts, it burnt away his blood and vitality as a cost and could only be sustained for short whiles without the risk of death and had forcefully removed his awareness to allow him to thrive only on Bloodlust and instinct.
With Adam's weak dungeon form, his death was enviable as the still bloodthirsty Adam in his final breaths, crawled over to the dying snow leopard in a final bid to spill more blood.
{Ding, the host Dungeon Form has died, the host is being retracted from the dungeon and back into the host's body}
"AAAAHHHH" screamed Adam who jumped up from his bed.
