Dungeon Hunter Chapter 124:
Chapter 124: Demon Predator (1)
Haien Moon’s Necklace .
The owner was a master swordsman and wearing the necklace taught a powerful sword technique . Ariel Diablo had obtained it in my previous life, using the advanced proficiency to conquer her enemies .
But now it was mine . I owned it, not anyone else .
I placed the moon shaped necklace around my neck .
At the same time .
-The Haien Moon’s Necklace has been worn .
The secret sword technique ‘Moonlight Falling (Epic, Passive’) has been learnt . |
A refreshing aura covered my body . The blue light around my body resembled that of the moon . Today was a full moon . This was the perfect day to experiment with the new sword technique .
‘This is . . . Moonlight Falling . ’
I accepted the energy . The information about the sword technique slowly entered my head . And I could see Haien Moon .
He had a beast-like body . His hair looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while and he had a beard . He wore worn clothes and walked forward with two swords in his hands .
The image of the sword technique demonstration was etched into my retinas . I admired the beautiful sword trajectory as it moved in the moonlight .
‘Beautiful . ’
I had that thought while watching the swords move . It couldn’t be compared to the dancers who moved holding swords . Every single movement was important . It was beautiful but the sword also pierced the heart and head of the enemy .
It was a new experience for me .
'Swordsmanship on an entirely different level . ’
Ha!'
In my previous life, the Moonlight Falling that Ariel used was intense . However, it wasn’t beautiful . She had probably reassembled Moonlight Falling according to her own colour .
She knew tens of thousands of sword techniques . She absorbed everything and turned it into ‘Abyss Sword . ’ Haien Moon’s sword technique was just one part of this .
‘I will leave it as it is . ’
My thoughts were different .
I didn’t know any proper sword techniques . They were given to me during actual combat . A technique to split the flesh of the enemy . Simple ways to break the enemy’s bones . That was it . I thought that was enough .
Swordsmanship? I hadn't felt the need for it .
This bias changed after seeing Haien Moon performing Moonlight Falling directly .
This . . . was complete by itself . There was no need to make any changes to it .
Of course, there would be differences based on the interpretation . I lagged behind significantly when it came to actually using Moonlight Falling . But if I kept learning Moonlight Falling, I was confident that I would break the ‘wall’ on my own .
In fact, my swordsmanship had been stagnant for more than 10 years . My abilities rose as I became stronger, but there was no change in the techniques themselves .
So I wanted to learn . I wanted to absorb it . Ariel reassembled it but I didn’t want to destroy the ‘purity’ of the original owner, despite my lacking skills .
‘Haien, I will carry your method forward . ’
I stretched out my hand . Haien Moon’s movements imprinted in my retinas were carried out through my hands . There was no notion of reality . My hands continued to draw Moonlight Falling . Moonlight fell on me from the full moon and it felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on me .
A prophet . A sword master .
He was strong and I respected his purity .
Haien Moon loved the moon . His emotions were contained in Falling Moonlight .
The desire to learn and grow from Haien Moon filled my head .
"I am fond of the full moon in the quiet sky . ”
I laughed .
I recalled the days spent on the battlefield .
A place of slaughter . A place where I couldn’t even trust my allies .
Still, the moon was the only one on my side . It would never change or betray me . I understood a little bit of Haien Moon’s heart .
I held Wrath in one hand and the Emperor’s Sword in the other .
And I brandished them until dawn .
I couldn’t move without a plan . I needed to draw up a plan, divide the troops and give them time to adjust to the items purchased from the Demon World Auction . Okullos was a grand duke so I needed to be well prepared before going against him .
"You absolutely can’t get caught . It is important to monitor the dungeons of Okullos and important demons from an appropriate distance . Send me reports through the crystal ball once a day . ”
“I will follow your words, Dungeon Master . ”
Reconnaissance was a must before moving .
I used Krasla and a few dark elves for mobility .
Okullos knew my status window but he wasn’t aware that I knew the exact location of his dungeon .
'Your **** arrogance . It will make sure that you aren’t prepared . ’
My purpose was to catch him off guard . It wouldn’t be long . Meanwhile, I would use this time to gain a little bit of strength .
"Stein . How is the work of the dwarf king progressing?”
"He is so amazing! Seven unique level weapons have already been completed . At this rate, the basic preparations will be ready in a fortnight . Once the huge weapon for Gigantes is finished, his power will instantly double . ”
Stein said in a proud tone . Indeed, good blacksmith skills and superior materials meant that decent weapons were created . Thanks to that, the dwarves were growing every day .
A fortnight . I couldn’t waste that valuable time .
After completing some urgent tasks and learning Moonlight Falling, I pulled out the rest of the items .
Millennium Stigma, Lightning Orb and Haien Moon’s Necklace were all items for my growth . To be precise, they worked to increase the impact of Lightning God .
‘Lightning Orb helps lightning related skills recover . '
I used Mind’s Eye once again to confirm it .
-Name - Lightning Orb (Ex U)
Description: An orb held in the mouth of a lightning dragon for 100 years . * Strengthens the electrical properties of unique skills . The user’s electrical magic power can be restored once a day . ** Can grant electrical properties to spirits . |
Lightning God had a higher rank so the strengthening effect would have no effect . I was aiming for the ‘recovery’ and ‘integration’ options .
‘Lightning God . Move . '
Lightning God started moving out towards the Lightning Orb .
It wasn’t a simple movement . Lightning God felt resistant, but it couldn’t go against my orders .
After a while, Lightning God finally reached the Lightning Orb . At that moment, a strong sense of effort could be felt, but I ignored it . This was work that required intense concentration .
-‘Lightning Elemental (Epic)’ has entered the ‘Lightning Orb (Ex U) . ’
The spirit rating is very high . The effect will be enhanced . The name will be changed to Lightning Orb (Lightning God) . The efficiency of ‘Lightning Elemental (Epic)’ has increased . The consumption of materials for its use has been reduced by half . |
Then I pulled out the Millennium Stigma . This was an item that formed a type of ‘contract . ’ After connecting Lightning Orb and Lightning God, the duration that I could use it for had increased .
‘Do humans call something like this a trick?’
My eyebrows furrowed .
Some people might call it a trick .
‘No, it isn’t . ’
It was finding a method and taking advantage of it .
I grabbed onto the chance .
Once I confirmed that Lightning God had completed the change, I placed the seal around my heart .
-Millennium Stigma has been activated . Lightning Orb (Lightning God) and the ‘Heart of the Hell Monarch’ have been linked .
‘Lightning God’ will always manifest in the future . When the skill is not in use, it is possible to use one tenth of the spirit’s power . Millennium Stigma has been destroyed after being used . |
The stigma was a one-time item .
However, the effect was enough .
After a while, a small fist-sized dragon made of lightning appeared out of the Lightning Orb .
Lightning God . It was surprised by the sudden situation and quickly looked around .
‘The strength is reduced to one tenth, but it is active 24 hours a day . I can also recover the strength when the skill is used . ’
Lightning God would automatically keep protecting me . Originally, Lightning God couldn’t voluntarily exit my body . But thanks to Lightning Orb and Millennium Stigma, it could now manifest for 24 hours a day .
The small Lightning God moved around my head . It was in a good mood after gaining its freedom .
It couldn’t be underestimated just because it was the size of a fist . It only had one tenth of the power, but an advanced creature would still be in danger from one hit .
“I look forward to it . ”
Lightning God flew faster .
‘Now it is time for the box . ’
It was the last item left from those he purchased at the Demon World Auction .
The Unknown Box was waiting for its turn .
The box was shaped like a coffin .
Chrisley stood in front of it and asked .
“My Dungeon Master . You want me to open this box?”
“That’s right . The item that comes out will belong to you . ”
“ . . . I will open it . Please step aside . ”
Chrisley was worried since she didn’t know what would come out . However, I shook my head .
“It is okay . I will be safe here . ”
“I understand . Then . . . ”
Chrisley took a deep breath and moved . She carefully lifted the lid of the box .
Huuung .
A loud sound . It was like someone was roaring .
At the same time, a violet light poured from the box .
“My Dungeon Master . This . . . ”
Chrisley said with perplexed eyes .
"Indeed . It turned out like this . ”
I slightly nodded as I checked the result .
