The fight went on for a bit.

'My blade is barely scratching the surface of the Leviathan...' Jinwoo stared at his dagger. 'The shadows and I can't even get close to Kraken because of its wide range...'

Jinwoo seemed to be doing fine, but not enough, on the other hand, Erebus and the other shadows didn't seem to be able to deal any damage. Good news was, none of them were injured because of Cale's shield. But at this point, it would take them hours to clear this dungeon.

'Is their skin that tough to get through...?' Cale grew anxious. 'Or is because of their vision?'

ROAAR!!

Cale flinched. He instinctively turned around, faced with the open mouth of the Leviathan. 'Shit!' Cale braced for impact, though he still had his shield up.

Bang!

"Cale!" That was the first time Erebus spoke his name. "You should called me if you were getting attacked!" Erebus had thrown the Leviathan off course with his spear made of a shadowy essence.

Cale ignored him. He watched the dust disperse around the Leviathan. 'It's still uninjured, even from that...' Cale sweated, 'this is going to be harder than I thought.'

Ding!

[ Would you like a clue?

Yes (100 coins)         No ]

[ ^^ ]

'I don't have any coins though...'

Ding!

[ The God of Death has sponsored you 10,000 coins ]

'Oh? Are they watching me...?' Cale frowned. 'Whatever. Thanks, just this once.' Cale pressed "yes".

Ding!

[ The Leviathan:
Type: Oceanic
Abilities: Hydrokinesis (Rank S), Impenetrable Skin (Rank S), Prey (Rank A)....

The Leviathan is built similarly to a dragon, except underwater. It has great offense and defense, however, it also has a weakness. The scales of a Leviathan have a missing spot, which it's bare skin is revealed. For its offense, although strong, the Leviathan does not have a good view, once it attacks, it will not switch. ]

[ The Kraken:
Type: Oceanic
Abilities: Baby's Cry (Rank S), Tantrum (Rank S), Whiplash (Rank A), Ink Release (Rank A)....

The Kraken is known for its child-like attitude, however, it has the strength stronger than most. Once agitated or upset, it is almost impossible to defeat it. The skin of the Kraken may not be very tough, but the strength and range of its tentacles can cause earthquakes even underwater. ]

'This might do it...' Cale grinned. "Erebus, Jinwoo." He called out.

"What is it?" Jinwoo, who was once far away, retreated closer to the two. "Did you figure something out?"

"The Leviathan is similar to a dragon, do you know what the weakness of dragons are usually?" Cale asked.

"Hm.. their scales have a missing spot?"

"Correct." Cale nodded. "Try looking for that spot, and don't attack the Kraken."

"Alright." Jinwoo fled.

"What about me, my queen?" Erebus asked, a bit jealous.

"Go help him." Cale groaned silently.

"Yes..." Erebus seemed saddened. Was that not the answer he wanted to hear? "I'll be back then.. my queen..." He sulked.
