Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 196 Bounty

After a day of rest and recuperation Yunan descended to the 39th floor, it was home to water drakes, snake-like limbless bodies with rough scales and the heads of dragons, know as flood dragons, a sub-species of dragons and are a very aggressive and mindless beasts who l.u.s.t after plunder, destruction and sowing their seeds on any creature that was at hand during heat.

Drogon lazily stirred when he caught a whiff of the water drakes and looked at Yunan as if asking for permission, And Yunan told him to do as he pleases as long as he doesn't harm himself, after all, Drogon was not all-powerful and might get overwhelmed if he bit more than he could chew. As for Yunan, he tried to find the boss as soon as possible and while in the way he did not mind grabbing the water drakes that barred his way.

Just like the crocodiles, the water drakes seemed to have an evolutionary chain, where there were multiple shapes and sizes of water drakes that Yunan met in his quest for the boss cage. The first change Yunan noticed was upper arms and later on almost humanoid upper halves, and the boss followed this trend. The boss itself was a humanoid with a tail and drakes head and horns. It looked to Yunan like an emperor of the seas, something majestic and unapproachable but Yunan could not shake the feeling that he was not supposed to fight this lord of the sea.

It approached Yunan who seemed to be in a daze not knowing what kind of action to take, there was no hint of danger in the boss, there was no rage nor bloodl.u.s.t, it was just observing Yunan, well that was what Yunan felt until he heard the roar of Drogon. The moment the roar reached Yunan he snapped out of his trance, he was under a mind spell, something that he was completely unaware of, and totally defenceless against. However, before Yunan could do anything to retaliate Drogon was by his side making a most threatening aura flood from his body.

To Yunan, it felt like an oppressive force that was telling him to bow and beg for dear life. Yet he could still resist the force after a moment he knew that it was only thanks to the armour that he could feel this force. "Its called Dragon's might, an innate aura only true dragons have to influence dragonkin and inferior species with draconic blood" the voice of Drogon rang in the ear of Yunan "an old savage like this one can resist it to some extent simply because I have yet to fully mature".

"Let me have him, I am sure it is much more than age that helps him resist a Valyrian like this". With that Yunan activated his buff, a full 300% increase in all stats, Drogon retreated to his old position and the water drake hybrid charged forward with the intent to kill, the sudden rise of Yunan's power level did not go unnoticed and it though that it can kill Yunan before the new power took effect.

Yunan did not usually forgive a slight especially one that was aimed at his life, so he decided he would toy with this boss for a while and drive it to the depths of despair. Inside the cage of the boss, Yunan activated the most painful enchantments in the armour to make this boss pay. Wind and lightning coating, poison touch with a poison that would cause searing pain upon contact but nothing more, from now on every time the boss got close to Yunan ut would get its skin split by wind, its nerves overloaded with lightning and unbearable pain from the poison.

Yunan went with an unarmed fight against the boss, he took care not to make it look too easy, but he still made every hit he sent connect dealing damage while the boss would barely connect with Yunan's armour and still get damaged anyway, in less than an hour the mighty boss that was playing emperor was now grovelling at Yunan's feet begging for mercy, either killing it or letting it live would be a mercy in the boss's eyes.

Yunan used his dagger to remove its head from its shoulders and went to collect his bounty. After dealing with the treasury Yunan went ahead and started killing the water drakes to feed his armour, and then he did the same for all the other floors, when all was over and done with Yunan returned home to find a congratulation party already has started without him, so he simply joined the festivities, it was not like Debauchery to wait for fun to arrive.

Hephaestus joined them a few hours later laden with gifts for Yunan, it seemed only Fortuna was smart enough to bet on him among the G.o.ds who were watching the compet.i.tion between him and Hermes, there was even a written letter of apology for Ophelia with the gifts that arrived. During the celebration, someone said something about winnings and treasures and so Yunan had to promise to show all the items he gained in his adventures from the 30th floor to the 39th.

From the 30th floor he gained all manner of different materials and items as well as books, on the 31st floor he got the metal clams that could provide all the metals in Tartarus, the 32nd floor provided medicinal herbs and plant materials, the 33rd provided a library, the 34th provided body parts, the 35th gave him enchanted items of all shapes and sizes,the 36th yielded precious rocks like the spirit stones and jewels and jade and other non mineral resources, the 37th treasure was the eggs of monster pets, the 38th was an a.s.sortment of fruits and vegetables and other highly nutritious plants, as for the 39th the treasure was bodies and hearts of actual dragons, the treasury in Yunan's house was marvellously full of precious items.
