Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Master, do you wish for me to drop my power level to an equivalent cultivation grade 4?" The cloaked person asked through the System Channel and Jin wanted to laugh. Surely not all of his monsters have not realised that he had become an entity that had surpassed the so called legendary grade 20 and was something of similar status to a grade 24.

However, if he were to say that, the monsters under him would not understand him and they might also misinterpret without proper explanation. Thus, he decided to do a half truth half lie instead. "Nah, I am just suppressing to look like a Grade 4. Go full force against me." Jin said and the clocked person nodded his head.

As for the identity of the cloaked person, Jin had selected the Variants that he had caught in the Dungeon World previously. They had been going strong considering that they had the level system from the Dungeon World. From all the work that Jin had utilised them for, they had gained a heck lot of levels which would have made them 2x more powerful than before.

This could not have been achieved in the Dungeon World because of how the monsters they had been fighting were not of relevant experience and this would not allow the Adventurer Variants to grow.

The one that Jin would be duelling with was the Warrior Variant but unlike normal warriors, this Variant had been built in such a way that he could wield some magic as well and that included monster summoning.

For him, summoning the Wolves was not because he was not strong enough but rather, he had been using them as a distraction or buffer against enemies so that he could fight to the fullest at every major enemy group that he encountered. But this time round, it was different compared to the usual enemies that he had been fighting.

The Warrior Variant who had been stripped of his name upon his creation by Kraft finally get to fight against his Master.

He had always wondered how strong his master really was when he remembered the days that they got decimated by Kraft and his other minions. Perhaps if he managed to win against the master, the Warrior Variant might be able to request something from his master once the duel was over. That thought alone and the permission to go full force against Jin made the Warrior Variant to be extremely delighted.

He did not remove his cloak but instead pulled down his hood to show a full mask of his own too. Modelled like a full metal helm, his eyes glowed with magic from within which caused him to look extremely menacing and he got even badass looking as he summoned out his two blade axe out. At that moment, Jin continued to use keep Boo hidden and had the dagger as his own weapon.

It did not take long for Grand Headmistress Yuan to acknowledge that this was going to be a fight that would be of a different proportion and requested the System to turn on the force field barrier up to protect the audience.

A sheet of energy suddenly shot out beyond the rails of the stadium and that was the signal that was needed for the Panda Masked Demon Exorcist to clash with the Warrior Demon Exorcist.

In the blink of an eye, the two fake Demon Exorcists left their positions, leaving nothing but dust on their floor tiles. Sparks were already flying as the two interacted with each other. It was so fast that the floating TV monitors that were spread around the stadium started to show close quarter shots of the fight.

Jin managed to use his hand to bring Warrior Variant's axe away with just a palm flick, sending his dagger dangerously close to the opponent's neck.

But at that moment, a Demon Wolf came out from midair rushing towards Jin with the goal of biting the Jin's neck as well. It was a tit for tat which the Warrior Variant believed it would deter Jin from going his throat. Yet, he was so wrong to think that his master would react that way.

In fact, the Grade 4 Demon Exorcist ignored the Demon Wolf and focused on going for the Warrior Variant's neck instead.

That was when the Warrior Variant could feel his blood pulsating faster than usual. It had been some time since he had been stuck with such dangerous incidents. For this, he hardened his shoulder muscles and attempted to stop the blade move slitting through by neck by using his shoulders and chin to block the attack.

As dumb as it sounded, the move worked as Jin needed to spend some attention on the Demon Wolf who was terribly close to his neck as well.

The Dungeon Supplier also stiffened his shoulder muscles but not for the same reason as he had used his head as a counterattack against the Demon Wolf, slamming directly on his front fangs that they broke upon contact. It flinched the wolf so hard that the Warrior Variant was equally surprised to see it unfold for the first time.

Since the dagger had been stuck, Jin decided to pour chi into it causing it to release a quick burst of hot steam from it which forced the Warrior Variant to release in order not to be scald from it. That was however not the end of it as the steam subsequently turned into light and later an explosion ensued.

Usually, when this happens, the person casting it will take a few steps back to assess the situation before doing anything else.

Jin did not do that.

Instead, he went for the Demon Wolf so that it would not bother him again when he was aiming for the Warrior Variant. The dagger flew as the Demon Wolf was reeling in from the pain from the broken front fangs.

The audience had no idea how painful it was to receive such a blunt hit from the front as the fangs did not only break but the roots of those fangs had been pushed so deep that it penetrated into the Demon Wolf's nose, causing severe bleeding.

But even as the Demon Wolf was able to sense Jin at the very last minute, its movement was not fast enough to utilise Shadow Steps to prevent a stab into its neck. That was not the end of it as Jin stretched forward to hold onto the Demon Wolf's torso as he used it as a shield against the Warrior Variant attack when he was preoccupied with the killing of the Demon Wolf.

The attack from Warrior Variant was a straight pure vertical slash from his axe but there were tricks involved in it. Without shouting the name of his skill as he should have, the axe glowed bright red as it swung downwards.

Jin did manage to block the initial attack but not the subsequent aftereffects of it. It was a high level skill called Explosion Swing and he too had received the pain he had administered to his enemy. During that short downtime, the Warrior Variant did not waste any time as he poured magic into his legs and did a bullrush when he caught a glimpse of Jin's silhouette after the explosion swing.

But as he moved through the smoke, he realised that the distance he estimated was wrong and in actual fact, his master was not there as well. It was a second later that he realised that Jin had manipulated his location and positioned himself nicely within the smoke debris.

"Your wolves are not the only ones who know how to perform shadow steps." Jin said as he grabbed the Warrior Variant's head with his left palm and wanted to snap his head as well as insert a dagger's blade into his neck.

"As a Warrior Variant, I feel it is regrettable that my master used assassin tactics to fight with me instead of frontal assault." The Variant stated as he quickly used his hand to cover the spot where Jin was aiming, causing the dungeon supplier to miss the neck and the dagger was plunged into his palm.

At that point, Jin already poured chi once more and did the same attack pattern where hot steam and later explosion came to destroy his hand before moving back to gain some distance away. "I apologise, in my mind the fastest way to kill a warrior like you is through swift assassination.

But you have already blocked my assassination attempts twice and proven yourself to be a strong warrior." Jin responded as he swung his dagger and it slowly grew in size.

A proper long sword emerged and Jin took a frontal stance while waiting for the explosion dust to settle. Out of the smoke came out the Warrior Variant partially wounded from the attack but ready to go for the next round. He had lost his right hand but within that smoke, he already tore the cloak and used it as an impromptu bandage.

"For the dishonourable act against you, I too shall handicap myself and work with my left hand only," Jin added as he placed his right hand behind his back and the sword was held with his left.
