Chapter 175 Why On Aidos, Didn’t I Use This Before?
Before the boss could even compute its next set of thoughts, Evan's weapon control had already pulled his sword back into his hand as Evan instantly imbued the blade with his aura faster than he ever had and thrust it forward.
Sensing the amount of aura in the blade, Pride made the split-second decision to grab Eliza by the waist and jump out of the way, even going as far as to propel herself with wind magic.
In the same instant she did that, Evan's destructive energy circuit went wild as his aura manipulation speed skyrocketed, with his golden aura swirling around the blade of the unforged so fast it looked like a blur.
"Ho-!"
The boss monster didn't even get its first word out as in the next second, the wildly spinning spiral-shaped mass of aura slammed into the body of the blade wraith with the full force of Evan's C- strength stat and all his stat boosts behind it.
***BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
The ground trembled as a terrifying explosion shook the entire boss room. The sturdy dungeon walls began to show signs of collapsing from the explosion's initial shockwaves.
[Level Up]
Every adventurer on the large tenth floor of the monster of the damned felt the ground trembling as the walls of Evan's boss room shook harder before eventually crumbling under the pressure.
The earth split into pieces, with large cracks spreading around everywhere as the entire boss room lit up golden as Evan's vortex decimated everything in its path.
It took a few minutes before the ground stopped trembling as the explosion began to slowly die down, with the main culprit behind it staring at the wrecked boss room in front of him as one thought came to his mind.
'Why on Aidos, didn't I use this against Elecrus?!'
As Evan had very obviously vented out all the rage he felt towards the poor boss monster, he was now clearheaded enough to think about past events that had come and gone, as he stared at the destruction he had caused.
Evan didn't know it, but a thin layer of red light was currently surrounding his sword, giving the sword an ominous vibe that was no less than Pride's weapon, Vanitas.
Looking down at the hole in the ground that formed after the earth split into pieces, Evan could see the next basement floor along with the corpses of a few unfortunate rift mages that happened to be in the area.
He then turned his gaze to the side and saw that he had only wrecked one half of the boss room and although the other was still relatively 'intact' when compared to its opposite half, it was still messed up due to his actions.
Before he could even think about anything else, his hair stood on end as he felt an attack coming from behind him. His body reacted appropriately as he jumped out of the way just in time to avoid the large lightning-clad fist the size of his head that tore through the air.
[Stupid Master!!!!]
The voice of his familiar contract spirit rang out as Evan realised the identity of the gigantic fist to be Kayla's hand which she had enlarged with her body transformation skill.
However, he didn't have the time to think about that as the glare the lightning spirit was giving him, sent chills down his spine, worse off when his connection to her told him that she only felt two things towards him at the time, and those were anger, and disappointment.
'Ah, shit.'
It was at this moment, that it fully dawned on Evan, that he had indeed fucked up big time.

Grand Magic Tower
City State of Magic, Kasteblum
December 29th
Year 1051
On the topmost floor of the Grand Magic Tower, a grey-haired old man was going through dozens of files on his desk, signing some and stamping on them occasionally.
The desk was an 'L' shaped one, with him sitting on the top side and working there, while the return side had a few papers open and pens surrounded in magic power moving across these papers and writing different things.
**KNOCK!
p
The man gave permission to the one who knocked, following which the office door opened to reveal a fairly young man dressed in green robes that had the symbol of the Grand Magic tower, a magic staff inscribed in a pentagram embroidered on it with gold.
"Sir, I have brought the results of your inquiry to the adventurer's guild."
"Carry On."
Receiving the old man's order, the young man opened the file in his hands and quickly skimmed through the contents before summarizing it to him.
"The person you inquired about has been discovered. A black-haired, grey-eyed teenage boy with a weird crest in his eyes.
He is registered in the adventurer's guild with the name, 'Evan Bourne'. He is in an adventurer party called the rangers with two other people named 'Eliza Lane' and 'Pride'?"
Towards the end of his speech, his words turned into a question as he found it a bit hard to wrap his head around the fact that someone was called 'Pride'.
'The people of the west indeed have weird names.'
Nevertheless, he got over this quickly and pulled out three pictures from the file, placing them on the desk of the grey-haired old man.
Seeing this, the man picked up the pictures and looked through them, nodding in affirmation when he saw the last one before dropping them on the desk.
"His whereabouts?"
"He checked into the 'Mansion of the Damned' on the 19th and has not checked out since.
Speaking of which, a lot of adventurers checked out of the 'Mansion of the Damned' today, with the majority of them reporting that the tenth floor of the dungeon was trembling for a period of time and they left to avoid getting caught up in whatever was going on.
The adventurer's guild requested our help in looking into the matter."
The old man rose an eyebrow upon hearing this, his hands that were signing papers stopping temporarily as he gave out orders.
"Send in 2 Class B and a team of Class Cs to investigate the matter with the adventurer's guild.
As for the boy..."
