Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master
Chapter 109 Kraken's Whirlpool

Narrowing his eyes, Alex stopped holding back.

Opening his skill tree, Alex learned a new skill without hesitation.

[Energy Slash]

[B-rank]

[Effect: Gather mana into your weapon and slash it at your enemy to deal damage that is equivalent to the amount of mana that you use multiplied by 3.]

[Cooldown: Null]

…

This skill doesn't have any cooldown probably because the damage it can cause is dependent on the mana that the user outputs.

That means, if Alex used 10 mana to activate [Energy Slash] he can cause 30 damage to the enemy.

By the way, this skill cost Alex 20 skill points even though it's just a B-rank skill.

This just shows how powerful this skill is even if it's just a B-rank skill.

Looking at his new skill, Alex sighed.

'I should've done this from the beginning, I just wasted my time,' he thought.

Shaking his head, he turned his eyes back at the squids that were rushing towards him.

From the looks of it, those squids are trying to stick their suction cups to Alex probably to tear him apart.

However, those squids are only Tier-1.

They can't even get near Alex, much less cause damage to him.

Anyway, Alex extended his hand and a knife from his inventory appeared on his hand.

As the only limitation of the skill [Energy Slash], it is necessary to use a weapon to activate it.

Luckily, Alex still has the bunch of knives from the minotaur's drops back in the Trial Tower in his inventory.

[Minotaur's Horn Knife]

[Rating: Rare]

[Details: A knife made with the horn of the powerful monster, Minotaur.]

[Effects: +50 Strength, +80 Agility]

[Skill: Minotaur's Courage]

[Condition to Use: Level 20]

…

[Minotaur's Courage]

[D-rank]

[Effect: Boost the user and temporarily increase your Strength and Agility by 100.]

[Duration: 5 minutes]

[Cooldown: 30 minutes]

[Cost: 30 Mana]

…

Looking at the details of the knife, Alex was unimpressed.

Playing around with it in his hand, Alex thought, 'This thing should be a great item for level 20 newbies. But at my level, this thing isn't anything special.'

Even though Alex thought like that, he didn't let go of the knife.

Anyway, he only needs it to activate his [Energy Slash].

After looking at the knife for a while, Alex turned back his full attention to his enemies.

Narrowing his eyes, he didn't waste anymore time and launched himself towards those giant squids.

When he got to the nearest squid, Alex activated his skill.

"[Energy Slash]!"

With a thought, Alex started pouring mana into the knife on his hand.

Suddenly, the knife started glowing with a bright white light.

The more mana Alex pour into it, the brighter the light grows.

Alex continued pouring mana without stopping.

Only when exactly a thousand mana have been put into the knife through the skill [Energy Slash] did Alex finally stop.

At this point, the minotaur's horn knife has started letting out a creaking sound as if an old gate that's on the brink of breaking.

It seems like because of the amount of mana that's been injected to it suddenly, the knife has been put through a huge pressure.

But Alex didn't mind that.

After he stopped pouring mana, he slashed the knife at the squids.

Shiiing!

A cold and sharp sound echoed underwater as a huge crescent 'sword' slash made out of mana came out from Alex's knife.

The 'sword light' continued moving forward and when it made contact with the squid, it just passed through it like there was nothing.

On the other hand, the squid slowly split into two in the middle.

However, it seems like the squid is still unaware of its situation because even though it's been cut and supposedly dead, it's still trying its best to attack Alex.

Until its body disappeared into particles, it was still trying to attack Alex.

Alex didn't care about that and went to the next squid.

After charging his knife with [Energy Slash] for the second time, Alex slashed at the second squid and killed it without surprise.

Next, Alex started killing the Kraken's summons, the giant squids, one by one.

From afar, the Kraken watched as Alex slaughtered his summons.

Seeing it, the Kraken was furious.

With its eight great tentacles, the Kraken stretched out and attempted to attack Alex.

However, Alex evaded it smoothly before slashing down at another squid.

Seeing that its attacks didn't work, the Kraken roared.

Then suddenly, the Kraken extended each of its tentacles forward, as far as it could.

Next, it started spinning around like a propeller.

It started slow at first then its speed grew so fast that each rotation of the Kraken attracted the surrounding waters and caused the water to start spinning as well.

Because of that, a large whirlpool started to brew from the water.

At this time, Alex had just finished killing the last squid and turned his eyes in the direction of the Kraken.

When he saw the large whirlpool created by the Kraken, Alex frowned.

Even him, who has stats high enough to contend with 4-Star monster felt some pressure from this whirlpool.

Alex felt the pull coming from the whirlpool and his frown deepened.

At this time, while he's observing the Kraken, an urgent chat comes from Kris.

[Kris: Alex, help me!!!]

Alex immediately turned his head in the direction where he left Kris and was surprised.

Because of the force coming from the whirlpool made by the Kraken, Kris is starting to get pulled towards the Kraken.

Alex saw her desperately resisting and swimming in the opposite direction but it was to no avail.

A whirlpool that a 3-Star monster like the Kraken can make is enough to even crush a Tier-4 player without a problem if they got sucked inside it.

The powerful pulling force that it has can only be imagined.

Anyway, after seeing Kris' in danger, Alex didn't hesitate and rushed towards her at full speed.

The next moment, Alex appeared beside Kris and held her by her waist.

Not even giving her a chance to react, Alex retreated further away from the reaches of the whirlpool.

After successfully leaving the range of the whirlpool, Alex looked at Kris and asked,

[Alex: Are you okay?]
