Chapter 203 | Reincarnated as a Dungeon: Farming Adventurers to Survive

Using a heroic gargoyle to fight a two-headed heroic gargoyle—and a mere Heroic Gargoyle Lv. 1 at that?

The summoned heroic gargoyle showed no fear, meeting the two-headed heroic gargoyle's attack with its greatsword.

But the strength of the two was simply not on the same level.

Though the heroic gargoyle's size was imposing, it provided Brock with little sense of security compared to the even more massive and majestic frame of the two-headed version.

The greatsword raised by the heroic gargoyle was easily deflected by the two-headed heroic gargoyle's Nail of Sealing.

However, even that brief moment of obstruction gave Brock a chance to steady his breathing and adjust his stance.

There was no need to be stingy with his mana now.

Brock summoned the Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment once more!

The snake bone instantly pierced through the earth, lunging at the two-headed heroic gargoyle from the side.

One of the two-headed heroic gargoyle's heads turned rapidly, and it stomped down on the lunging Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment.

At the same time, its two arms did not cease their assault on the heroic gargoyle.

In that moment, it was dealing with attacks from both sides without leaving a single opening.

Dual-mindedness... so the two heads weren't just for show!

The lunging Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment was blocked by the two-headed heroic gargoyle's heavy stomp.

As Brock raised his staff, he activated the snake bone's ability once again.

A pillar of silver lightning shot out.

The two-headed heroic gargoyle exerted force with its heavy sword, shattering the heroic gargoyle's guard and forcing it to retreat.

This time, however, the lightning pillar erupting from the Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment was not aimed at the two-headed heroic gargoyle.

Instead, it struck his own heroic gargoyle directly.

This was no mistake.

This was... a buff!

The lightning pillar instantly merged into the heroic gargoyle's armor, plating its surface in a layer of electrical protection!

The silver lightning surged into the heroic gargoyle's arms and coiled around the greatsword in its hands.

Leaping sparks followed the greatsword's swing as it smashed toward the two-headed heroic gargoyle.

It was a simple, unadorned greatsword, yet it carried the heroic gargoyle's wide-swinging, unstoppable style!

Caught off guard by the heavy blow, the two-headed heroic gargoyle took a step back.

Brock broke into a run, quickly repositioning to the side as he raised his staff and aimed it at the two-headed heroic gargoyle.

However, one of the two-headed heroic gargoyle's heads remained locked onto Brock's every move.

Dual-mindedness again!

Could the other head not just be for decoration!?

Brock cursed inwardly as he raised his staff, but his movements didn't falter.

“First-rank magic, Deep Sea Water Snake!”

A long-range control-type water spell, it was one of the most difficult and complex first-rank spells, a classic of its kind, and the one with the longest range among all first-rank magic.

In an instant, a blue magic circle expanded beneath the two-headed heroic gargoyle's feet.

With one head watching Brock's movements from afar and the other dealing with the heroic gargoyle's frontal assault, the two-headed heroic gargoyle seemingly hadn't expected Brock's spell to manifest directly beneath its feet.

Thick water pythons rose continuously from the magic circle, coiling around the two-headed heroic gargoyle's body.

Simultaneously, the heroic gargoyle pressed the advantage with its greatsword!

Pinned in place, the two-headed gargoyle was forced to hold the Nail of Sealing horizontally to block the frontal attack.

The hardness of the Nail of Sealing was extraordinary.

The heroic gargoyle's heavy sword struck it as if hitting a mountain, failing to inflict even the slightest damage.

However, the suppression from the control magic had already taken hold.

Brock did not lower his staff. He closed in to casting range and rapidly deployed a new magic circle.

“First-rank magic, Strong Acid Rain!”

A blue magic circle expanded above the two-headed heroic gargoyle, and corrosive acid rain poured down upon it.

The two-headed heroic gargoyle was rapidly corroded.

At the same time, the falling acid rain merged with the water pythons beneath it, dyeing the blue serpents a corrosive green.

Two sets of magic, one above and one below, working in perfect coordination!

Despite being a mage without teammates, Brock had used his summoning abilities as cover to unleash a combined magic attack.

As the outer rock layer of the two-headed gargoyle began to corrode, it finally made a new move.

The two-headed heroic gargoyle swung its greatsword violently, its Forbidden Fire erupting until its entire body resembled a gushing torch.

In a flash, the water pythons coiling around its body were boiled to a state of bubbling froth by the extreme heat.

Brock quickly deployed another magic circle.

“First-rank magic, Chilling Frost!”

A current of white, freezing air gushed toward the two-headed heroic gargoyle, rapidly cooling it down.

Yet, even this was not enough to resist the two-headed heroic gargoyle's sudden burst of power.

With Forbidden Fire coiling around its greatsword, its body broke free from the boiling water pythons, and it slashed at the heroic gargoyle in front of it.

With a single strike, the heroic gargoyle's greatsword was knocked aside, its defensive posture instantly shattered.

The heroic gargoyle's level was still too low. Even with the lightning enhancement from the Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment, it was no match for the two-headed heroic gargoyle.

A second strike would likely revert the heroic gargoyle into a monster card.

Brock quickly dismissed the wood armor monster from his own body and threw the monster card toward the heroic gargoyle.

“Wood armor monster, summon!”

The thrown monster card stuck to the heroic gargoyle's back. Vines rapidly grew out of the air, covering the heroic gargoyle's entire body to form a set of wooden armor.

Under the protection and empowerment of the wood armor monster, the heroic gargoyle finally managed to block the second blow with its greatsword.

However, splashes of Forbidden Fire still landed on the heroic gargoyle.

Seeing this, Brock immediately activated the water-attribute ability of the Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment.

The water pythons that the two-headed gargoyle had broken free from were quickly reinforced, coiling around it once more.

The heroic gargoyle took the opportunity to swing its greatsword, slashing at the two-headed heroic gargoyle's chest.

Brock waved his staff again.

“First-rank magic, Water Slicer!”

A magic circle expanded, and a stream of water like a beam of light shot toward the two-headed heroic gargoyle.

Its corroded armor finally failed to hold. Under the assault of the water jet, a smooth gap was sliced into it.

The heroic gargoyle's greatsword followed the path, hacking into the gap.

Not daring to close the distance, Brock cast another spell from behind the heroic gargoyle.

It was another Water Slicer!

Crack!

This time, the two-headed heroic gargoyle's defenses were completely breached. A massive fissure was hacked into its chest, and its body fell backward under the drag of the acid-laden water pythons.
