Chapter 44: Ultimate skill: Plot Hole

A loud bang was heard as all of Skullix's attacks hit the ground. The entire ground on the tenth floor of the dungeon immediately shook violently like an earthquake. Chunks of earth were scattered into the air along with flying dust.

A strong gust of wind blew from where the explosion occurred, and all the monsters that were not affected by the explosion began to scatter in the wind. Lightning seemed to strike in different directions from where the explosion occurred.

Raff immediately threw a stone upwards in his right hand, and Skullix tried to kick Raff with his foot. Skullix tried to slash at Raff with his sword, but Raff threw the stone in his hand upwards again and his body disappeared again before being hit by Skullix's sword strike.

"Still not there yet," Raff muttered after hovering near the knee bone of Skullix's Electro-Monster.

This time the lightning on Skullix's back responded again, seven bolts of lightning shooting at Raff as he floated in the air. This time, Raff immediately threw the eight pebbles in his hand into the air right around the body of the Electro Skullix monster.

Raff's body suddenly disappeared as seven lightning bolts shot into the place where he had been floating. The sound of explosions could be heard as the seven lightning bolts hit the ground below, but the lightning bolts on the Electro Skullix monster's back shot back toward Raff's body.

This went on for seven strikes, and on the eighth strike, Raff threw his pebble right into the Electro Skullix monster's stomach. Raff's body vanished again as the lightning almost hit him.

Raff caught the pebble that was parallel to the monster's belly, this time Raff immediately threw another pebble he hadn't used at the monster's belly armor. Electro Skullix tried to retreat, but Raff's pebble was much faster.

"Now," Raff muttered after planting both feet on the monster's abdominal armor.

Raff closed his eyes for a moment as he extended his right palm toward the armor on the Electro-Skullix monster's abdomen. A small, hair-sized sphere appeared in Raff's palm, its color much blacker than black itself.

"Plot hole!" said Raff as he slammed his right palm into the monster's abdominal armor.

"Gawrr!" roared the Electro-Skullix monster in pain.

Slowly, the armor hit by Raff's palm began to shrink along with the monster's bones inside, and Electro Skullix's body was absorbed into the small pitch-black ball in Raff's palm.

Skullix's body immediately collapsed to the ground, and his entire body was suddenly enveloped in a bright flash of lightning. Suddenly, Raff, who was clinging to his body, was also struck by the lightning, but Raff immediately coated his own body with his Black Lightning Element. Blood seemed to flow from the corner of Raff's mouth.

"Damn it, I can't stand it completely. The power is too much to handle with the limited mana I have," Raff muttered, feeling pain all over his body.

"Gawrr!" the Electro-Skullix monster roared in pain again.

Now the armor that covered Skullix's body had all been absorbed by Raff's ultimate skill. The power of the lightning that enveloped his body also began to diminish, and Raff spat blood from his mouth several times. But he held on until Skullix's bones began to be absorbed. The monster crystal behind Skullix's skeletal sternum also began to appear as his armor was absorbed.

"Haa!" shouted Raff as he swung his left hand at Skullix's monster sternum.

Raff's left hand seemed to start bleeding from the wound caused by the impact of his fist on Skullix's sternum. But Raff didn't give up, he kept hitting Skullix's monster sternum until it finally broke. Raff immediately took the monster crystal from the body of the already helpless Electro Skullix.

At that moment, the light in Electro Skullix's eyes went out. His body collapsed to the ground. Meanwhile, Raff had used his active skill to move to avoid being crushed by Skullix's bones. At that moment, all the monsters on the tenth floor of the dungeon immediately ran to another corridor after seeing Skullix dead.

"Yeah!" shouted Raff happily as he stood up and picked up Skullix's Monster Crystal.

On the other side, Hayato and Sonia had managed to defeat the two giant skeleton monsters that had attacked them. The sound of Raff's scream could also be heard from where they were. Hayato seemed to smile, his breath caught in his throat.

"That fool, it looks like he did it," Hayato said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Unbelievable, he managed to defeat such a powerful monster all by himself?" thought Sonia, who was also injured on several parts of her body. "It seems that he can indeed fight the impossible in this world, his eyes that have no doubt don't lie," Sonia said, smiling breathlessly.

In the distance, Raff began to approach them. He seemed to be brandishing the Skullix Monster Crystal in his hand, his body full of wounds as if he didn't feel them at all.

"Hahaha... I thought you were dead, Hayato!" Raff yelled from a distance.

"You think a main character like me can die so easily? Don't dream!" Hayato shouted as he joined in the laughter.

"Sonia, you can take the rest of the Electron Skullix monsters over there now. All the monsters have also moved away from the tenth floor," Raff said after he had gotten close enough.

"Yes," Sonia replied. "But before that, you'd better treat your wounds before they get worse," Sonia continued, throwing three potions from a small pouch at her waist to Raff.

"Thank you," Raff replied as he caught the three potions.

Raff used the three potions from Sonia to treat the wounds on his body, while Hayato seemed to be checking Skullix's monster crystal. Sonia herself rushed to carry her big bag to collect the materials from Electro Skullix's monster and the giant skeleton monster she had defeated with Hayato.

"This crystal is much bigger than the other monster crystals," Hayato said as he stared at the bright blue monster crystal. There seemed to be a small form of the Electro Skullix monster inside the crystal.

"How did you defeat that terrible monster, Raff?" asked Hayato with a curious look on his face.

"Why do you ask me that? Do you doubt my abilities?" replied Raff while looking at Hayato.

"You may be great, but your body's mana is currently very limited. I'm not sure if your attacks can hurt him even if you mobilize all your mana at once," Hayato explained.

"You're right, even my passive skills were useless against him. I didn't expect to be beaten like that. This is the first time I've seen such a monster in the dungeon, my magic attacks didn't have much effect on its body," Raff said.

"Let's not beat around the bush. How did you defeat it?" asked Hayato.

"Of course, I used my ultimate skill," Raff replied with a laugh.

"Ultimate skill? I see, so his three skills are passive skills, ultimate skills, and skills that are commonly acquired by people in this world. It's likely that the skills commonly obtained by people in this world are active skills," Hayato thought.

"I see. Is that the skill you showed when you fought with Professor Nia?" Hayato asked.

"You think I'm stupid? I won't reveal my skills to anyone," Raff replied as he lay down to rest.

"Tch. What an ancient person," Hayato grumbled.

"Are we going right back?" asked Sonia, who seemed to have finished gathering the monster materials she needed.

"Looks like we'll have to rest on the ninth floor," Hayato replied as he stood up. His eyes fell on Raff, who looked very tired. "Unbelievable, I met a person who was able to defeat monsters equivalent to five S-rank adventurers. Will he be my right hand later? Or is he destined to be my strongest follower?" Hayato thought as he looked up to the roof of the dungeon.
