Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

After that, Jake brought a large shield that had a silver cross painted on it. It was too big even for his fighting style, so he would never be able to fight the way he wanted while he carried that. It was a weapon for those who are one hundred percent tanks. Just like the class…

"At least is a tier three class… wait, is that how people call it?" Jake thought. "I never heard anyone using that term… oh, well."

Those were the classes that he was interested in that were melee and that he could obtain right now using the dungeon shop. The next three needed some special items that were rarely dropped on some maps. The first one was in Fire Birds world, and the other two were, weirdly enough, in those two words that Jake fought on the last few days.

"I suppose I need to clear those dungeons…" Jake thought.

Planet Osteranis - Mission: clear the Ember Crows Dungeon in 30 days. Reward: 40.000 coins, 4000 fame, and a weapon.

In any case, Jake selected the mission to clear that dungeon again. The previous reward was all that and a magic weapon. Still, now it was only an ordinary weapon… speaking of which, the item was a weapon, so Jake wondered if he could get it by clearing the dungeon again. It would be really nice if that were the case… He never heard of anyone clearing the same dungeon twice, but he never asked anyone either.

"Well, let's see if I can confirm that and learn something new," Jake said and then chose his quest.

Things were the same as always in that desert, but the temperature seemed a bit better than before. Probably because Jake had increased his willpower and mentality. He even managed to go on without having to use his cloak to protect himself from the light of the sun. Unfortunately, Jake found some monsters a lot sooner than he had expected and the sky on the horizon also seemed a bit weird…

"The people have been slacking off in clearing this dungeon, I guess," Jake thought.

When the monsters flew at him, Jame just split in two with Mana Blades. The ember crows fell without being able to do anything… In the end, Jake's strength far surpassed the level of that mission.

"I guess I will use this chance to gather essences and make potions," Jake thought.

Since his garden wasn't increasing in size anymore since it was a waste of time to keep planting them only increased his gathering time even further, Jake was storing them in his magic boxes. Still, they were getting quite filled pretty soon. Just leveling up his sword skills like that wasn't so bad, so Jake kept going like that for five hours until he finished the whole army of ember crows. While he had to kill thousands of them, he didn't get the drop the item that he wanted… At that point in time, Jake began to think that the only way to get such a weapon would be by clearing the dungeon… Sooner or later, he would learn that, so why did Frederick keep that information hidden?

In any case, Jake entered the dungeon while wondering how he should deal with the boss. The creature probably won't be a challenge if he fights the same way he did with Vare.

When Jake reached the final room, he noticed that the level of that boss had increased by twenty, and the creature didn't look particularly angry while looking at him, so he assumed that it wasn't the same monster as before. Still, when Jake approached to fight, the beast just began to bombard him with Fireballs. Even if it wasn't the same monster, it certainly was copying the same fighting style…

Jake sighed while he was sidestepping and dodging the projectiles. Since the monster wanted to play like that, he could be annoying as well. Jake equipped his crossbow and then began to fire the bolts at the monster.

At first, the beast ignored the damage received since the effect of the poison was relatively small. Still, now and then, the poison would explode due to the effects of Exceeding Poison. Since his intelligence wasn't that high, it took around two minutes for the health of the boss to reach the halfway point. At such a moment, the bird brain finally realized that Jake didn't lose a single inch of health.

The monster decided to fight at close range, but that didn't help much since Jake had the chance to target the eyes of the monster with more ease. Thanks to that, the beast soon lost sight of him, and Jake finished off the monster without suffering a single scratch… He didn't even let the beast use its last resort and make lava rain around the area.

"I guess this is one of the merits of always fighting bosses much stronger than me… My strength always increase by ten or teeth percent with each battle," Jake said.

As one would expect, Jake was teleported back to his base after getting his coins and fame, and then a dark steel gauntlet appeared in front of him.
