With his preparations done, he put on the [Rangers badge] and used one of the basic mana stones to restore his mana.
He saw it was once again turned into a ring of silver, he walked through the gate again, and through the bridge to the gate of the boss of the dungeon.
He did not have time to be impressed by the workmanship of the gate all the statues, he simply had to defeat this boss, and get out of here before the black mages catch up to him.
The gate opened.

The boss of the dungeon was a fat knight, who also stood at 2.5 meters. He had a custom made armor that fit him perfectly. The armor style was completely different from this world's.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had a butchers knife for a weapon, except it was enlarged so much that it was longer than 3 meters.
Hidden by the helm, he could only catch small glimpses of red crazed eyes, the monster produced terrifying howls and grunts. It had its spit leaking out of the bird-like helm.
It lunged at him the moment he entered, Esdras charged at it for his part yet before they completely collided, he jumped, and somersaulted in the air.
While, still being in the air over the back of the juggernaut, his empty hand suddenly produced a great sword, burning with vigor directly first through the armor, and stab through the body of the juggernaut.
But it was not deep enough, although it broke through the armor, it actually consumed much more power and force than he had expected. By the time the sword stabbed into the body of the monster, it had lost much of the power behind it.
And the sword was stuck, however, immediately turned into a silver liquid and into a ring, once again in his hand. The first collision was over, and he landed on his feet.
The monster screeched in pain and stomped on the ground with its feet, causing several protrusions to appear in the entire battlefield.
The sudden appearance, and change in the environment, underneath court him of guard, and he lost his balance for a short moment.
But even then, that was enough for the monster, who was agile to an insane degree, considering how fast he was.
The butchers knife cut through his body, and immediately cleaved the right side of his body and stopping only at his collarbone.
If he did not have an enhanced physical body that one at that would have killed him at once.
But this was still bad enough, however, he ignored the pain coursing through his body, and his empty hands produced a 3 meter long spear.
In order to make it that long he had to make it extremely thin, and yet it was entirely covered in his vigor and pierced through the armor of the juggernaut once again.
The juggernaut was probably confused as to how he managed to produce and Hide weapons at will.
Esdras withdraw the spear and circled around the juggernaut to evade a second strike with a butchers knife, which caused the ground to shatter.
He took that moment to why did the distance between them, and took a Health potion, and while one low level health portion was not enough to heal his injury immediately it could stop any further harm for the moment.
After making up the distance, he launched a fireball at the juggernaut, which had to have grown sluggish, not showing that previous agility.
It exploded and the fire and the air pressure whirled around it. But it was clearly not enough.
And the sad thing about the spells he got was that each one took 10 seconds or more of preparation to Cast it.
He continued to widen the distance between them he launched several stone bullets, unfortunately the juggernaut used it's butcher's sword to block them.
Esdras rushed in once again, if he didn't do anything, then this battle could be prolonged for a long time, which he did not want to see.
You couldn't stay far away, he was clearly losing more mana and stamina than the juggernaut. He had to change his strategy.
In the meantime, his wound was healing up nicely perhaps, in several minutes, it could be back to normal.
He crossed over the distance, extremely quickly and not to more stone bullets which the juggernaut once again blocked. But that was exactly what he wanted as when he did that it lost side of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly a blue flash lit up the area, and a broad sword cut off its sword, wielding hand along with the butcher sword it fell on the ground green blood sprayed around.
Esdras was in the line of the spread blood and noticed that his poison status bar started rising, it had poisonous blood. No matter.
He climbed over the body of the staggering juggernaut, and stab through the gaps between the helmet and body armor of the juggernaut.
Perhaps, if it was a normal stab, it would not have even harmed the juggernaut in the least. But it was not, it was done using [penetrating vigor]!
Through the opening of the helmet, a green poisonous spray was spat on him directly, which immediately filled up the poison status bar.
He was poisoned.
Unbelievably, even with that sword, and even with that stab, the juggernaut had somehow remained alive.
He removed it helmet to reveal it's ugly malformed face, recalled the sword and turned it into a short sword which he stabbed through the eye of the monster and twisted.
The monster went into frenzy, and tried to bite him while slamming and destroying the ground around, Esdras held on to the store for dear life.
When the master opened it's maw, he took a risk and punched with his fist infuse with all the Vigor he had left, destroying its head and scattering brain matter everywhere.
The monster still didn't fall and he didn't get any EXP notification.
Cursing, he channeled his mana to the [Rangers badge], ten arrows shot out immediately destroying that head completely.
In the meantime, a fireball twice as big formed over his left hand, and he shot it through whatever remainder of the juggernauts neck after his head was blown off.
He expected to be blown off by the air pressure, but he wasn't. He was caught in the juggernaut left hand and a crushing feeling came over him.
