Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

How to bully a gorilla arachnid? Well that is a very tall order but not something impossible, first you have to attack before it does, out speed it and generally be such a nuisance that both halves have to forget how to cooperate. And that is what Yunan and Reina did but in a more round about way, as the taunt kicked in Yunan used his buff and a dizzying spell on the gorilla, the spell is not meant to affect the opposition much, more like slow their thought process, very discreet and effective.

Reina also cast a buff on Yunan and then cast a mirror image to buzz around the gorilla-spider hybrid and distract it from Yunan. With the dizzying spell and two Yunans dodging around it, the gorilla-spider started to show signs of slowing down, just a bit, nothing remarkable, but it was enough for Yunan to get close and dismember the front two legs it used to hold and weave its thread.

With the spider thread having lost its versatility and became only projectiles, Yunan had much more freedom to scorch the already woven threads and make the fight with the gorilla into a head on clash. Reina kept throwing illusion magic at the boss, stunning it and make hallucinations to effect the monsters sanity. As the monster started attacking and stabbing its spear like spider legs into the ground, Yunan climbed to its back and started breaking the chitin on back to creat a wound, then he poured a vial of putrid maw poison inside the bleeding wound, and then burnt the wound location to cauterise it preventing the poison from flowing out.

Seeing Yunan riding the boss, Reina started to use fire type spells to attack the upper body of the boss and keep it from turning on Yunan, at the same time making the hallucinations distract the gorilla and lead it into a wild chase. Yunan gave Reina the thumbs up and then started attacking the joints connecting the spider half and its legs, which annoyed the gorilla to the point it swung its axes at Yunan breaking its own feet in the process, it was surely losing its mind, unable to focus and only wished to get rid of the nuisances that came for its life.

Once all the 8 limbs were either broken or detached, the second faze started. With the boss now immobile and basically having to crawl to move, Yunan told Reina to use her hard hitting spells to attack while he just used spitting flames from behind the boss. The boss was literally being cooked alive, Reina had cast a fire field spell under it while Yunan was using the armor assisted spitting flames. The chitin plating did protect the boss from external damage but it did not protect its organs from heat, especially something that was draconic in nature.

It is worth mentioning that the spitting flames spell when cast in conjunction with the Dragonification armor, does not act like any other case, where the user has to keep their mouths open to sustain the spell. With the armor it was instead casted from the mouth of the helmet, giving the caster free use of their mouths, and Yunan had to only keep supplying mana, and never worry about using his mouth.

The boss died from cooked brain a few minutes later, but Yunan did not stop grilling the corpse until it smelled heavenly, after that he shared the well cooked innards with Reina who did not mind eating even though her companions were begging her not too. The brain gave both Yunan and Reina 5 points of wisdom upon consumption, the heart gave them 7 points in strength and dexterity, the liver and spleen added 4 points to constitution, the kidneys added 3 points to constitution and sucking the spinal cord from the vertebrae gave them 2 more points in wisdom.

Yunan finally knew why Drogon would eat those parts first whenever it ate corpses higher than level 10. from here on out, there are edible parts in each floor boss that can be eaten to empower the adventurers faster, Yunan even speculated that the higher level monsters were basically just extra points waiting to be harvested, but he also understood that there was a catch, the points does not last as long as the meat is good, probably within an hour of death one cannot extract the points from the monsters.

When it came to looting after Reina and Yunan ate the vital organs, Yunan asked for the left over corpse and Reina could have whatever was in the chest, and she agreed readily, the chest was always worth more than the boss, at least to most adventurers. In the chest there was a staff and a golden book. The golden book looked old and blurry and did not open no matter what Reina tried so she just threw it at Yunan, chalking it to his stupidly good luck, however she demanded payment for the book, and Yunan gave her a cup of honey, first she did not think much of it, but after she drank the honey and was almost fully restored to top shape, she did not ask for more.

Yunan gave her a 1 liter bottle for old times sake and then made the armor feed on the boos and all its items, the axes seemed to have elemental magic imbued in them so the armor gained a bit of those attributes but only minute amounts, the armor also upgraded the mace Yunan had to have sharp edges instead of being totally blunt, and the string on the crossbow was augmented as well. Finally Yunan had a proper bow made from chitin and spider silk on his back, ready for use.

When everything was cleaned up, Debauchery style Yunan picked Reina in a princess carry, and with Drogon by their side, they took the downward spiral staircase leading to the 10th floor, they arrived in the middle of a big village, almost a city, Following the signs, Yunan took Reina to the nearest lodging zone and rented a luxury cabin with a huge bath, and the best beds one can ask for. They planned to laze about for a while and enjoy each others company for as long as they could.
