Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master



[Zero: Are you okay?]

After they got in a safe distance, Alex put down Kris and asked her.

Kris nodded and just gave an 'OK' sign with her fingers.

After confirming her condition, Alex turned back his attention to the Kraken.

With a deep frown between his eyebrows, Alex thought, 'Hais, I'm really starting to get irritated now. Why did I made this sh*t longer.'

Sighing, Alex looked at the knife on his hand and saw that it seems like it's about to break.

'Endure for a bit more, stay with me just until we defeat that stupid Kraken.'

Alex said in his head while touching the blade of the knife.

Bzzt!

Suddenly, the knife let out a light vibration as if to respond to Alex's thoughts.

In surprise, Alex's eyes widened as he looked at the knife incredulously.

'This… did the knife just responded to my thoughts?!'

Beside him, Kris saw Alex looking at the knife with a shocked face and became curious.

[Kris: Alex, why are you staring at your knife like that?]

Seeing Kris' message, Alex paused before shaking his head.

[Zero: It's nothing, I just thought about something.]

Alex decided to not tell the truth.

It's not that he wants to keep a secret or whatever.

It's just that, even Alex wasn't sure if the movements from the knife were real or not.

It's fine if it's real, maybe Kris can even provide him an explanation about it if she knows something.

But if not…

Alex can only imagine Kris looking at him like he's crazy.

Anyway, Alex decided to keep this little thing to himself for now until he confirms it.

For now, his main concern should be that Kraken who's been going in circles.

Looking at it, Alex narrowed his eyes.

'I'll end this in one hit.'

Without wasting any second, Alex used [Energy Slash] and charged his mana into the knife in his hand.

1 mana… 2 mana… 5 mana… 10 mana… 100 mana… 1000 mana!

At this point, the knife seems like it's already on the verge of getting destroyed by the mana being inputted into it.

But despite that, Alex continues adding more mana into it.

'Just a thousand mana isn't going to be enough to kill that Kraken. I need more, more!'

With such thoughts in his head, Alex started pouring more mana into the knife at a faster speed.

Soon, ten thousand mana has been put into the knife!

At this point, long cracks have started to appear all over the knife.

It looks like all it will take to break it is a light touch from Alex.

Looking at the knife, worry flashed through Alex's face.

'Will it break after I use it this time?'

Honestly, Alex doesn't want the knife to get destroyed.

After all, even though it seems illusory, for some reason, he felt like there's a certain bond between him and the knife.

At this time, just as he's worrying, the knife once again vibrates as if to sooth Alex's thoughts.

Alex paused before a smile appeared on his face.

'I was right. You're indeed not a simple knife. Please hold on for a bit longer, we will end this soon together.'

At his thoughts, the knife vibrated again as if to respond to him.

To that, Alex smiled before turning his eyes back at the Kraken.

Next, with a serious look in his eyes, Alex disappeared from where's he's standing.

When he appeared again, he was already near the Kraken, inside the whirlpool.

'Kukh! The pressure is really too much!'

With him inside the whirlpool, Alex naturally felt the pressure more directly.

He felt like the water from all sides was trying to squeeze into mush.

Trying his best to resist it, Alex continued advancing forward, closer to the Kraken.

Or course the Kraken won't let that just happen.

Seeing Alex approaching, the Kraken suddenly opened its mouth and spits out a bunch of purple bubbles.

With just one look, it's already obvious that the bubble is a poisonous thing.

Once Alex touches it, he will certainly get poisoned.

 So, while fighting against the water current, Alex tried to avoid the poisonous bubbles.

But in the end, there was too much for Alex to avoid while under the strong pressure.

Pop!

A bubble managed to hit him and when it did, the bubble popped and covered Alex with a viscous purple liquid.

Not gonna lie, it looks disgusting.

[Hint: You have been hit by the Kraken's [Poison Bubble], you've been inflicted with poison status.]

[Hint: Your health will decrease by 100 points every second for the next 60 seconds.]

Seeing the system notification that appeared in front of him, Alex's face turned ugly.

'Damn it!'

With his health decreasing by 100 every second, if he can't get rid of his poisoned status, he will lose 6,000 HP by the time the poison stops.

Currently, Alex has 36,000 HP, that means if he gets hit by this kind of poison again and again, in just 6 minutes, he will run out of HP!

Because of that, Alex became more determined.

'I got to end this fast!'

Using all the power he could muster, Alex kicked his feet off the water and launched himself towards the Kraken once again!

Boom!

The force he let out caused the water around to explode and the next moment, Alex is already beside the Kraken.

Panic flashed through the Kraken's eyes.

From watching Alex's actions earlier, it knows that Alex is very strong.

Its instinct is even telling it that the moment Alex gets close to it, it will die.

And now, the thing that it wanted to avoid happening, Alex getting closer, just became a reality!

The moment Alex appeared beside the Kraken, he didn't hesitate and swung his knife.

"[Energy Slash]!"

A bright light flashed by, it was like the sun that covered everything with its light.

Its seems like the whole world turned white for a moment.

Along with it, a low roaring sound also echoed in the secret realm.

"ROOAARR…."

It was the dying roar of a fierce beast in this ocean.

Beside that, the sound of metal shattering also sounded.

Shatter!
