Chapter 6: Labu Fights, Labbu Destroys
Entering the core area, we sighted Ruka being protected by three of the observing guards. Ruka seemed to have broken her leg, because she had it bent at an unnatural angle. Because of this, she was unable to run even if the adults held the BOSS back.
Most of the observing adults were from the guards. Because most guards are only at the 3rd gate, the three adults are only around level 33-35.
However, the situation is quite bad for them. Right now, they are fighting the BOSS Labu and monsters under his control.
Surrounding the group were about twelve crocodiles. They all had sharp spikes protruding from their head like a horn.
The BOSS Labu was as big as a house. It had reptilian skin and had spine-like hair running along its front and back. It only had two legs, but it supported itself with his tail. The head was a mix between a crocodile and a snake. Overall, it gave off the appearance of a giant sea monster.

Even with a difference in level, the guards were surrounded and they also have to defend Ruka who cannot move. Also, more crocodiles seem to come from the lake. If they do not receive help, they will be overwhelmed.
Soula: "Rudy, go over there and..."
Rudy: "Wow, look at that beauty over there. Seeing her body covered in sweat emphasizes her curves."
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?! Oh, I see. One of the guards seem to be a real beauty. I guess Rudy's perverted mind would focus on her, wait! CONCENTRATE!!!
Soula: "Rudy, get your mind out of the gutter and help your sister."
Rudy: "OK."
God, what is with that kid. Thinking of something like that in this situation. As Rudy runs off to help them, I stay behind. Now don't get me wrong here. I'm not backing off from a fight. I'm just channeling my mana right now. I don't really care if people know that I can use magic, but I better keep it in moderation.
Ok, I'll use that spell.
You have acquired a new skill: Spiral Arrows (Mana Variant)
Because of prior knowledge of the skill, the skill proficiency is raised to Mastered Lv: 0.
Spiral Arrows [Rank B] Mastered Lv: 0
Create a group of spinning arrows made of mana. Each arrow is equal to your ki infused attack values.
Mana to Arrow Conversion: 10:1
Ok, this spell is enough to damage the minions, and I sooo have enough mana for that. In fact, if I use all of my mana, I can create 174056 arrows.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
But for now, I'll just use enough to get rid of the minions. I make around 500 arrows and aim them at the minions. ALRIGHT, MASS SLAUGHTER!!!

After the barrage ends, what was left were a few surprised guards, a boy and girl with confused looks, and a very scary BOSS that's CHARGING STRAIGHT AT ME!!! OH GOD, I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEAT A LEVEL 20 BOSS YET!!!
Quickly, I activate another magic of mine. Through continuous experimentation of system commands during our stay here, I learned that inventory is basically a spell. Apparently, a guard from this morning used it and told me it was taught to him when he went to a far away academy. He showed me how to use it last night.
You have acquired a new skill: Inventory
Inventory [Rank A] Mastered Lv: 0
Stores any non-living items in a space inside your soul. The maximum capacity is dependent on your [Soul] stat.
Size to Soul Conversion: 1 cubic foot:1 [Soul] Stat
Costs 1 mana per sec per use.
Because most people have a low [Soul] stat, they use this to store a small weapon or something. But because I'm such a cheat, I can hold so much more than others. Also, I even discovered a new trick.
The skill said that it can't store non-living items inside, but you can shave off parts of a monster.
I started spamming [Inventory]. I slowly shaved off the hair and skin of the monster. For some reason, the skill has a grey line on what it can take. Unless a part like an eye or a limb is attached to an living animal, I can't absorb it.
However, this skill totally ignores defense. So this skill is probably the most efficient skill I have. Plus, it only uses 1 mana per use.
With this tactic, I slowly start shavinging off Labu's HP. Even though, the damage is miniscule, it also has the hidden factor of removing his defence. If his armour-like skin is damaged, then it might even be possible for me to damage him.
All of this is good, but the main point of this is to allow the others to escape. From the corner of my view, I see Rudy and Ruka being escorted by one of the guards while the other two attempt to come over.
Great, then they can go kill this basta… hey wait. Why did they jump over his back. And why are they picking me up and running away. Come on, he only has about 10% of his health.
At that moment, Labu suddenly stopped moving. Then, metal started growing over the damaged scales I gave him. In fact, his whole body started to turn to metal. Is it because of the skill of his [True Form: Last Stand].
Weakened Form: Iron Labbu [BOSS Monster]
Lv: 40 Health: 40000
Attack: 3000-3500
Defence: 4000
Skill(s): [Iron Serpent Strike] [Metal Regeneration] [Area Declaration: Metal Dystopia]
Description: The true form of Labbu. In mesopotamian myth the sea, tāmtu, has given birth to the dragon Labbu. Killed by the god-king Tishpak, Labu slowly regains his powers to one day destroy Eshnunna to weaken Tishpak. However, when the skill [True Form: Last Stand] is activated, all of his saved power will temporarily power up Labu for 5 minutes. Before Labbu dies at the end of those 5 minutes, he will destroy everything he can.
Oh we're dead.
