Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 189: Advent Dungeon (1) (Part 2)

Finally, as the blood mist scattered, his form was revealed.

[Danger!]

[Black Dragon Halgiraf Lv.64]

Steel-like claws and massive wings. His body was densely covered with shiny scales.

His slitted pupils were directed at me.

The creature’s jaws opened wide.

“Graaaaaaah!”

A roar that shook the air.

In an instant, the Black Dragon’s body disappeared.

I instinctively drew my sword and swung.

Clang!

[This monster is immune to physical attacks!]

The sword slid helplessly off the scales.

As expected, its characteristics hadn’t changed.

I jumped back and swung my sword wide.

Clang! The black scales the creature threw sparked against my sword.

[Corrupted Shadow Lv. 31] X 15

Shadows sprouted from the scales buried in the sand.

Physical and magical immunity, scale throwing, and minion summoning.

These were the three patterns I had become accustomed to.

“Graaaaah!”

As the creature’s claws struck the ground, a wall of sand rose.

I deflected the claws and retreated to the edge of the field.

Much faster and stronger than before.

I discarded my sword. It was useless against its physical immunity.

I extended my hand into the air.

“Send it.”

<Deploying.>

As I raised my hand, a translucent sword appeared.

Varisada. One of the Niflheimr Collection, a weapon with physical penetration attributes.

As the floor level increased, weapon summoning efficiency gradually decreased.

Although I didn’t have Bifrost, it wasn’t impossible to summon a weapon.

So I should use it. I saved it for this moment.

“Graaaaaah!”

The Black Dragon roared and leaped several meters into the air.

On the ground, its shadow lunged toward me. I loosely gripped Varisada and swung it in a half-circle.

[Physical Penetration!]

Slice.

“Kyahaaaaak!”

“Talking nonsense.”

Crunch.

I stomped on the dragon’s front paw, spraying black blood everywhere.

I had already analyzed its pattern long ago, did you think I couldn’t catch it alone?

Physical immunity was the only problem. With that resolved, it was nothing.

I grinned and lunged into its body.

Slash.

About 15 minutes later.

The Black Dragon lay collapsed on the sand.

Its viscous blood pooled on the ground.

I shook the blood from my sword onto the sand.

It wasn’t particularly difficult.

I had fought this thing before, and I had become immeasurably stronger since then.

There was no need to use Ascend.

[Stage Clear!]

[You have cleared the Intermediate Advent Dungeon.]

[You have obtained the special engraving ‘Black Dragon Blood (C+)’ which can be given to the hero who challenged the dungeon.]

[Eligible hero – ‘Han (★★★★)’]

Wooong.

A black light floated above the Black Dragon’s corpse.

I moved the control panel to check the engraving.

[Black Dragon Blood (C+, Lv.1)]

[Pure blood proving the lineage of the dragon that has been passed down since the beginning of time. It has been greatly diluted over many generations.]

[Effect: Physical Defense +10%, Magical Defense +10%]

[Unique Skill: Dragon Scale (Duration 1 second)]

The additional effects weren’t particularly special.

The noteworthy point was the unique skill, Dragon Scale. There was no description, but it wasn’t hard to guess its effect.

Immunity to all physical and magical damage for 1 second. The performance and duration of the skill would increase as the engraving skill level rises.

On its own, it’s a common skill, but thinking of its synergy with other skills changes the story.

Because I have special skills that return damage when used.

‘If I use Soulblade Fusion during Dragon Scale…….’

I could use that skill one time without any burden.

I could finally escape being a suicide bomber.

The black orb circled around me.

Reaching out my hand would start the engraving ceremony.

My first engraving would be determined as Black Dragon Blood.

‘……Of course.’

That wouldn’t do.

I smiled and walked past the Black Dragon’s corpse.

Do you think I would be satisfied with a mere C-grade engraving?

Then all the trouble in the dimensional city would have been meaningless.

While engravings could evolve through growth, this level wasn’t enough.

<Master.>

“…….”

<Doing more than this is reckless.>

Yurnet seemed to have realized what I was about to do.

I had told her I was challenging the Advent Dungeon, but not this.

“Prepare the last weapon summon.”

<Master! A second advent is still too early…….>

“Please.”

I closed my eyes.

35th floor.

The scene vividly came to mind.

I would never go through that again.

In that case, I had to take this risk.

<……Are you serious?>

“Yes.”

<Understood.>

The silent Yurnet replied.

Good.

I took out the highest-grade Advent Stone from my pocket.

I had heard from Iselle how to do this.

Bring it on.

A stronger engraving.

This is not enough to even tickle me.

[Notification!]

[The Advent Dungeon is over. Press the ‘Exit’ button.]

“F*** off.”

I threw the rainbow-colored stone at the Black Dragon’s corpse.

A black hand emerged from the blood pool next to the corpse and swallowed the stone.

[Warning!]

[The difficulty of the Advent Dungeon has been changed to ‘Superior’.]

Crack.

The sky began to split open.
