Infinite Dragon Beast: Taming Ice Dragons with SSS Ranked Talent-Chapter 57: Dungeon Illusion Maze
ROAR!
The monster roared as it swung its bloody axe. Through its scream, the goblins in the area rushed to kill Aiden.
[Magic Element: Fire Arrow]
From Aiden’s hand, he brought forth five fire arrows with small ice thorns surrounding each of them.
With the control of his mind, Aiden released the fire arrows forward, piercing without mercy into all the goblins he met.
Having no defense mechanism of their own, the goblins died with their bodies and heads pierced through.
Their bodies froze and shattered into small pieces of ice, the impact of Aurora’s power.
Previously, Aurora had given Aiden a small amount of her power during the main trial.
From that, Aiden’s fire arrow ability increased many times over. However, it didn’t happen that his enemies were frozen in ice and destroyed.
This time, half of Aurora’s power was in Aiden’s body. As such, Aiden’s fire arrow power increased far more than when he was in the main test.
Seeing Aiden’s horrifying abilities, their natural instincts kicked in. Each of them ran for their lives, but Aiden was ruthless.
He shot the five fire arrows forward again, killing the rest of the fleeing goblins. In total, Aiden had killed 45 goblins, all of whom died in the same way, shattered into tiny ice pieces.
Aiden stretched his hand out, taking the beast essence from the goblins he had killed. He gathered a total of 45 C-level beast essences in his hand.

Seeing all the goblins dead, the minotaur before Aiden shouted loudly again for the second time. It sped powerfully ahead while swinging its bloody axe.
Aiden smiled. He jumped to the side before the axe hit his body, so it only hit the ground and stuck deeply into it.
The young man shot his fire arrow straight ahead, striking the back of the minotaur which was its blind spot. But something happened.
The fire arrows had trouble piercing through the minotaur’s skin, able to deal damage but not too significantly.
"I knew it, it’s not only big, but its level is different from goblins," Aiden explained.
The monster screamed again, was able to pull out its stuck axe, then threw the axe powerfully in a magical spin at Aiden.
The rate of attack was so strong, Aiden could hardly dodge and chose to shield himself with his magic. The two forces clashed, creating a roar of wind that shook the cave roof.
Cracks appeared in Aiden’s magic wall, he could not continue to defend it.
Before the wall was destroyed, Aiden hurriedly jumped to the side to escape the spinning axe attack.
Sure enough! A few seconds after Aiden dodged, the magic wall shattered and caused a powerful magic boom to spread throughout the room, along with a strong gust of wind.
As Aiden looked on, the minotaur’s attention was still on him. Lacking full control of its weapon, the minotaur was forced to walk over to its axe stuck in the cave wall.
"I won’t let you come any closer to your axe!" Aiden declared.
[Elemental Magic: Chain of Blaze]
He brought up the fire magic rune in his hand, then he aimed the rune at the ground.
In a flash, several red magic circles appeared and began to shackle the minotaur’s body in a powerful chain of blaze.
The minotaur’s steps were halted, Aiden couldn’t stay any longer. The longer he fought with it, the more his MP would be drained as he continued to defend.
[Magic Element: Crimson Fire]
With his strength, he brought up the fire magic rune in his hand again. Aiden swung his hand to the front to release a long red scythe horizontally.
Aiden gasped. From the red fire scythe, another ice-blue scythe emerged in front of him.
’Is this Aurora’s power? Is her ice power so flexible in line with my fire magic spell?’ Aiden asked.
The ice-blue scythe managed to hit the minotaur, instantly freezing all parts of the monster’s body, causing it to hardly move.
"Now, take my attack!" said Aiden.
The red scythe shot forward and hit the minotaur right in the waist. In a significant clash of strength, Aiden’s crimson scythe defeated it.
Its body was sliced and burned, its organs scattered on the ground with blood pouring down the rocky ground of the place.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Aiden fell wearily to his knees as he looked on, watching the minotaur monster defeated by his power. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Finally ... I was able to defeat it," Aiden said.
After a short rest, Aiden reached out to catch the beast’s essence and a few items dropped by the monster.
"Hmm, it seems that only some monsters have items other than beast essence, like this one," Aiden remarked.
[DING! Congratulations, you got the Item]
[+1 Beast Essence Lv. S]
[+1 Turquoise Gem]
[+5 MP Potion]
[+5 HP Potion]
[DING! Congratulations, you got +EXP]

’It’s true, it’s a S-level monster,’ Aiden explained.
’It seems that the deeper I go down in this dungeon, the more high-level monsters I meet,’ Aiden said.
Aiden walked closer to the minotaur’s bloody axe. The young man seemed to feel something different about it, like it wasn’t a random weapon.
He tried to touch it, resonating with his power. As a result, the axe turned smaller and changed its form, from a bloody axe to a fiery axe.
"What kind of weapon is this actually?" asked Aiden.
"I don’t use axes. I’d better save it for later," he said.
After he survived the threat of the monsters in this room, Aiden stepped back down into the dungeon’s depths, hoping to meet the Dragon Undead right away.
Again, he was met with 4 different dungeon routes. Each of these routes must have led to a different place.
"Where should I go?" asked Aiden, confused without Noah’s mapping.
Aiden didn’t have the best way to decide on the next route, he didn’t have any tracking birds, nor did he have any other methods of exploration.
"Noah? Wait! How did you get here?" Aiden asked.
What a surprise! Noah walked out on the middle route and met up with Aiden.
Noah was really shocked, he had followed the route on his map but instead he was brought back to Aiden.
In fact, Aiden was clearly heading down the dungeon to find the Dragon Undead, while Noah was heading up to return to the cave entrance.
"You? Aren’t you—"
"Damn," Aiden interrupted.
"We’ve been trapped," he replied again.
"Trapped by what? Wait! How do we get out?" Noah asked.
"This dungeon has turned into an illusion maze."
"The only way we can leave is by defeating the monster that controls it!"
