Let's Go To Dungeon !

Chapter 21's

The ice lion began to run towards Ace, with an angry look he drove very fast. "Huh, he's fast too..." Ace praised.

"Ace, careful. This lion defense is quite strong !" Sahut Helus.

"Just calm down, captain, about speed I won't lose. And as for strength, where there is something I cannot penetrate !" Ace was a little confident facing the ice lion.

"You're this..."

"Groooaarr !"

The ice lion jumped up and charged straight at Ace with its sharp claws. However Ace dodged the attack, with easy steps he dodged all the attacks aimed at him. The ice lion grew angry, then he opened his mouth wide. He breathed a cold breath towards Ace.

"Woe... Great as well you are !?"

"Rooaarr !"

"Guussh !"

A cold chill blew towards Ace, then he quickly jumped dodging the attack. At that instant, the altar floor instantly froze and gave rise to a mound of ice due to the cold breath of the lion.

"Luckily, try if I get the attack earlier. I could be a silly ice sculpture here !" Ace.

"Groooaar !"

"Now it's my turn...! Devil's Step...!"

Ace very quickly drove towards the ice lion. And launched several attacks with his dagger. With his speed he continued to slash at the ice lion.

"Groooaar !"

However, as if not feeling any ice lion continued to stand still and survive receiving an attack from Ace. "Geez, what kind of monster are you ?" Said Ace who felt his attack had no impact on the lion.

"I told you earlier, he has a strong defense !" Helos reminded me again.

"Hm.... It is strong, but there must be a gap" Reply Ace who appears to do the horses prepare to attack.

"What are you going to do Ace ?" Ask Helos.

"Look at the boy, what is he going to do ?"

"Is he not sane...!?"

"...Yes, what will he do !?"

The other adventurers were shocked by Ace. He looked like he was about to launch a very powerful attack. "I'll finish it..." Said Ace with a sharp look towards the ice lion.

"Devil's Steps...!"

.

.

Ace quickly disappeared, because the speed was very fast piercing towards the ice lion. At once he was in front of the ice lion, and jumped to thrust his daggers.

But it seems Ace's attack has been read by the ice lion. Then the lion made an ice shield to block Ace's attack. Sontak Ace thrust out his dagger, and hit the ice shield. "Ughs... A shield like this won't stop me..." With great force Ace pressed his dagger.

But there was not the slightest visible scratch on the surface of the ice shield. That made Ace even more upset. "...Hard as well you ! Shadow Demon...!" And made Ace cast all four of his shadows to help him.

Each shadow thrust their two daggers. And not too much impact on the ice shield.

"Grooaarr !"

The roar of the lion made other adventurers close their ears. Due to the loudness of the sound waves produced. And also made Ace's shadows fade, and disappear.

"What ? Great as well...!?" Ace was angry.

But the vibration that also generated sound waves against the ice shield made one of Ace's daggers crack. "Ughs... What's going on ?" Ace said in shock.

"Shriinnkk !"

"Kraakk !"

Making Ace's defense falter for a moment, and must receive an attack from the ice lion. Ace was thrown hard enough to hit the slippery and cold altar floor.

"Arrghh..."

"Br !"

"Rooaaarrr !"

With a scratch wound on his body, Ace appears rigidly lying on the floor. The other adventurers who witnessed it were also saddened and shocked to see the plight. "Curtain, Ace... Awake !" Shouted Helos worried.

"The boy was brave...!"

"Yes, he's great too ! But alas he also could not defeat the lion..."

"Wait all, take a good look at the boy !"

One of the female adventurer magicians pointed towards Ace. Seen from a distance Ace stood up again, and with a broken dagger in his left hand. "You ! ...You broke my beloved dagger ! ...You have to replace it !" Ace looked angry.

.

.

A bluish aura began to emerge from Ace's body, and was followed by a dark aura that began to envelop Ace's body. Ace's gaze was only on the ice lion, with a blank look he was so angry that his aura emanated quite strongly.

"God ! He's lost control... How can ?" Helos said in shock. "If left unchecked then he can destroy himself ! Cih, how's this...!?"

"Don't let the boy lose control...!"

"God ! It's even worse"

Ace seemed to have fallen into his rage, instantly appearing four black shadows with small horns on them. Each shadow held only one dagger in their right hand.

"Is that his ability ?"

"That's similar to the previous one, isn't it ?!"

"That's a shadow demon...! Not an ordinary shadow, but a shadow that has its own consciousness. The shadow demons were similar to the previous shadows, but this time they were smarter and not easy to control" explained Helos who was worried about Ace.

"I'll kill you...!" Ace and his shadow drove towards the ice lion.

They are fighting non-stop and constantly. However, the ice lion still defends itself from Ace's attack. "He was great, able to coordinate that shadow even in a furious state !" Said another adventurer who saw Ace's fight and the ice lion.

"Feel this...! I'll kill you...!" Shouted Ace very angry.

He and his four shadows attacked with full force. They worked together to break through the ice lion's defenses. But the rigors of the ice lion's defense are very difficult to penetrate. The sound of azure daggers and the loudness of the ice shields clashed against each other, echoing throughout the ice cliffs around the ice altar.

"This fight is still out of balance !"

"Yes, from any side. The one who lasts the longest is the winner"

"And I think the ice lion is very profitable. Because it has a very strong defense !"

Other adventurers boisterously exchanged their opinions. They expect Ace to be the winner in the fight with the ice lion. However, it appears several times Ace and his shadow was exposed to the claw of the ice lion. Which makes them quite trying hard to penetrate the ice lion's defense.

"Impossible, even an ice lion could still withstand an Ace attack !" Helos said worriedly.

"Captain, what should we do ?" Ask an adventurer.

"Due to your distance, do not do anything before I command !" Replied Helos who was also worried about his troops. "I don't really know what to do either ! I have absolutely no plans, this is beyond my previous plans" murmured Helos who looked puzzled.
