BXBX NOVEL Chapter 737: Challenge: Defeat All Enemies
He took a step back and the air around the room seemed to shift and surprisingly, the location changed.
I found myself falling for a short moment until I hit something, blinking to see that I was now sitting on a couch overlooking an arena.
I inspected my surroundings to find that I was now seated in a colosseum in the box where I assume the king would normally be seated at.
The rest of the colosseum was empty save for the stupid Off-Worlder who was standing inside at one end of the arena.
Just like before, I was able to move around and I\'m surprised that the location actually changed since I didn\'t know that was a possibility.
Jerry didn\'t seem that surprised by this and even brought out his staff from who knows where as though this had happened before.
That was when a string of words appeared over the arena which was the announcement of his challenge.
[Defeat All Enemies]
That\'s unexpectedly straightforward… So what kind of enemies would show up?
The gates opposite the Off-Worlder then slid open and his opponent stepped out, the sight of the enemy making both the Off-Worlder and myself stunned.
It\'s a Cave Goblin.
What the fuck? Excuse me? Hello? I have zero intentions to have sex with this dude! Why the heck is he getting such an easy enemy?! Even the one year old me could have killed this monster!!
Don\'t tell me this bastard has some kind of skill or artefact that lowers the difficulty of this challenge?! Fuck! Can I interfere in this challenge?!
"Bend and mend the earth that I call upon, move as I ask the unyielding stone to yield to my form. [Earth Ball]."
While I was still considering if I should jump in, he already fired off that ball of earth towards the goblin and struck him in the head, completely blowing the head off and killing it.
The goblin\'s dead body fell onto the ground before disappearing into particles of light.
See?! That\'s so easy! How can that even be proportional to my feelings?! This is bullshit!
[Wave One Complete]
[Wave Two Starting]
I paused as soon as I saw those words and directed my gaze towards the gates right as it slid open again.
This time, it was a Goblin Mage.
The goblin started chanting as soon as he stepped out but the Off-Worlder was faster and the same ball of earth struck the goblin in the head and killed it instantly.
[Wave Two Complete]
[Wave Three Starting]
Huh… How many waves are there? There doesn\'t seem to be a counter either…
The gates opened and this time it was a Cave Goblin and a Goblin Mage appearing at the same time.
That stupid Off-Worlder didn\'t seem that concerned and raised his staff once again to start chanting his [Earth Ball] spell.
The Cave Goblin started charging towards him while the Goblin Mage also began his chant.
Interestingly, idiot Jerry chose to fire the conjured ball of earth at the mage instead of the goblin that was currently charging towards him.
His spell killed the mage but now he did not have time to cast a second spell since the goblin was just a few more steps away from reaching him and attacking him with the club he wielded.
Stupid Jerry reached for his waist with his other hand and pulled out a sword that I didn\'t even realise was there.
He then sidestepped the goblin\'s overhead swing before slashing his sword down, decapitating the goblin with practised ease.
The two goblins then disappeared, prompting the message to appear again.
[Wave Three Complete]
[Wave Four Starting]
Don\'t tell me they\'re just going to keep increasing the number of goblins…
The doors slid open and… Oh, it\'s not a goblin this time.
In fact, it\'s a monster that I\'m surprised I have not seen in my Dungeon dives yet, not counting the stronger variants of course.
[Name: Skeleton Swordsman
Race: Monster
Stats:
20 Strength
15 Dexterity
10 Endurance
5 Magic
Skills:
Martial Skill-(Sword Proficiency (Tier 1))]
It\'s stronger than the goblin but not by much, though I guess that\'s expected since it\'s just a skeleton…
I\'m starting to see a pattern where this challenge would slowly increase the difficulty of the enemies he has to defeat with each wave. But the problem now is that neither of us even know how many waves there are…
This could even be the last wave for all we know but something tells me it\'s not since I know the difficulty should be near impossible…
The Skeleton Swordsman tried to charge towards that stupid Off-Worlder and predictably got destroyed with just a single [Earth Ball] spell.
Damn dude, do you only know that spell or something? Don\'t you have other magic proficiencies?
Oh wait, I guess he\'s just currently grinding his Geomancy to level it up. That makes more sense…
Damn, now I kind of want to join in on this since it looks like it\'s literally free exp to grind your skills on… Can I do that?
I tried to climb out of the box, only to realise there was an invisible wall blocking me from leaving the place.
I went to check every corner of the box and it seemed like the invisible wall extended all around to box me in here.
So I couldn\'t even interfere even if I wanted to huh…
[Wave Four Complete]
[Starting Wave Five - Boss]
Oh, every fifth wave is a boss wave I see.
That stupid Jerry seemed to have expected it too since he started chanting even before the door opened.
Fuck… That means he has experienced this challenge before… I\'m not the first one he used this skill on… This fucking hypocritical bastard…
The boss turned out to be an Orc Grunt.
Tch… Just another small fry…
"What?! What\'s this?!" That idiot Off-Worlder shouted out, clearly surprised. "Where\'s the Hell Wolf?! That was supposed to be the boss!!"
Eh?
The Orc Grunt let out a roar and hefted its two handed axe to charge towards him.
To that idiot Off-Worlder\'s credit, he quickly fired off the [Earth Ball] spell he had materialised and hit the monster right in the face and causing him to stumble in his charge.
He quickly took a few steps back while frantically chanting another spell, this time trying to cast [Shadow Forge].
The Orc Grunt shook off the impact and turned back to growl at the Off-Worlder before resuming his charge.
Jerry managed to complete his spell and created a shield out of shadows strapped to the arm that was holding his staff right as the Orc leapt at him.
He raised his shield and deflected the overhead strike to the side before stabbing his sword forward, the stupid Off-Worlder managing to catch the orc in his side.
The Orc Grunt was not amused as he swung his arm to smash it against Jerry\'s shield, launching him flying away.
The idiot crashed into the ground before rolling up to his knee and quickly starting another chant to cast another spell.
The orc growled and recognised the threat, taking another leap towards the idiot Off-Worlder to try and decapitate him with an overhead slash.
Jerry rolled out of the way without breaking his chant, raising his staff right as the orc landed at where he had been moments ago to cast [Fire Blast].
The swath of red hot flames flew out from the space in front of his staff to consume the orc, completely bathing the monster in the fire.
The orc roared and tried to fight his way through the flames to get to Jerry, only for the stupid Off-Worlder to stab his sword through the monster\'s throat as soon as it managed to get out.
It struggled against the sword for a moment before Jerry pulled it out, letting the orc crash onto the ground and disappear into light particles.
He gasped for breath, "What… What\'s going on… Why is the monster different this time? It\'s always been the same for this challenge… Even for other Off-Worlders I used this on… Why is this different?"
I knew it, this fucker has been using this to fuck others and he pretends to be disgusted by their promiscuity…
[Wave Five Complete]
[Starting Wave Six]
As expected, it\'s not over yet huh…
The gate opened and this time it was two Orc Grunts, one of them wielding a two handed axe while the other had a greatsword.
Jerry widened his eyes at this, "No, no, no! This is all wrong!! Wave six should have been two skeletons instead!! What is going on here?!"
The orcs did not care about his complaints and charged, forcing him to fight again.
Huh… Now this is actually entertaining… Now I kind of wish that there\'s some popcorn or something for me to snack on while I watch the show…
\'Pop\'
Eh? What was that sound behind-- Eh??
There\'s a bag of popcorn on the couch where there wasn\'t any before.
What the heck?
