Dungeon Hunter Chapter 125:

Chapter 125: Demon Predator (2)

The preparations were over .

The only thing left was to move there .

“My Dungeon Master . Fairy-nim hasn’t appeared yet . ”

"I know . But I can’t delay it any longer . ”

I said to Chrisley before turning around .

All the creatures except those left behind to defend the dungeon were gathered behind me .

There were 4,000 intermediate and 100 advanced creatures . There were also three high class creatures . Tashmal was recovering her strength and easily reached the rank of a high class creature . If I included her then it would be four high class creatures .

It was at a scale that no demon could match . Sweeping away one dungeon would be a cinch . This was 80% of the power that I had gathered in three years .

In particular, I had considerable expectations for the Kur clan warriors .  They were riding the infernos and carrying weapons created by the dwarf king . Plus, the clan warriors became stronger when they were together .

“War! The Kur Warriors also like war!”

Their voices rang in my ears . . . war . I would use the momentum of their shouts .

“The enemy is Grand Duke Okullos . If we delay any longer then it will become disadvantageous . Lightning fast . Exit quickly after hitting him in the neck . If we miss this opportunity then it will become more difficult . We have to kill Okullos at all cost . In addition, if he crosses another line . . . I need to pull out his roots before he becomes more annoying . ”

Krasla had sent me some amazing facts while he was scouting .

It was the reason why I was busy in many ways .

I wasn't the only target, and Okullos had attacked other dungeons simultaneously .  Two demons from other factions had been dragged inside Okullos’ dungeon .

Krasla placed himself at risk and entered the dungeon .  And . . . he confirmed that Okullos was a demon ‘predator . ’

It was different from insanity . I was utterly disgusted by the actions described to me . A predator of his own kin . . . !

He broke another taboo .

Demon Predator .  That was Okullos’ new title .

‘His soul seems to have gone out of balance because of the assimilation . ’

The original Okullos maintained a moderate position . He didn’t do anything extraordinary . Now he had transformed into a dramatic character thanks to the soul assimilation . It was impossible to assimilate other demons without the soul being harmed .

‘It will be a hassle if he grows like me . And I don’t know what he will become capable of over time . ’

I could get extra stat points by controlling dungeons and hunting demons . However, Okullos was likely to gain something as well from eating other demons .

That was enough for me to move, but I also couldn’t guess Okullos’ behaviour . I needed to destroy him before he went beyond what I could face .

I organized my thoughts and took one step forward .

"Follow me . We will destroy the enemy . ”

 

A large group of creatures started to move from the dungeon in China .

Okullos’ dungeon was located in Brazil, South America, so I needed to go by sea . The turtle islands I bought were ready to move . I had purchased an additional nine turtle islands .  They were big enough to be called small islands and 10 of them could carry 5,000 creatures .

"Stop! Warning! Don’t come any closer . . . ”

The problem was that the humans had a reaction to the large number of creatures moving .

Several thousand humans with tanks blocked their path . There were also dozens of Awakened .

It had already been three years . It was impossible that the humans didn’t know negotiating with creatures was impossible . It would have been better if they struck first instead of giving a warning . The creatures were only stimulated by the loud noise .

The faces of the humans were filled with tension . It seemed like they wouldn’t get out of the way . It was apparent from their attitude and the fact that this place wasn’t far from an city .

‘Annoying military . ’

I clicked my tongue .

Still, I needed to take care of them if I wanted to pass .

This was a Pandora’s box that they shouldn’t have opened .

I had brought thousands of creatures .  Their fate was to be brutally trampled on . But if they were trying to buy time to evacuate the buildings . . .

I could waste some time here .  I would use the Kur clan warriors to sweep them away .

"Master! We will show the strength of the Kur clan!”

"I’ll leave it to you . ”

I coldly accepted .

If I used the griffin then I could quickly clean them up . However, it wasn’t bad to look at the combat power of the Kur warriors .

With my permission, the Kur warriors were all riding infernos .

“Hi-rah!”

"Wipe them out!”

The 100 infernos that the Kur warriors were riding kicked off against the ground .

They were 3m tall . There was also the moderate size of the Kur warriors . An ordinary human would have to look up to barely see their heads .

Kung! Kwarung!

The tanks fired . The Kur clan had never encountered weapons like this before .

The Kur warriors were hit by them . One of the warriors was literally knocked to the ground .  But he just got up from the dirt .

"That hurt me a little bit!’

The Kur warrior just laughed like it was a joke and got back on the inferno . Amazing actions followed .

The infernos swiftly moved among the humans . Their skins were tough and close to impervious, making the bullets unable to penetrate them .  Even the flames emitted from an inferno were fatal for humans . The humans couldn’t extinguish the hellfire .

“This weapon is very good!”

As expected from weapons made by the dwarf king . The weapons he made from the roots of the Tree of Origin had a unique rating and were extremely sharp . The Kur warriors could even slice through a tank .

The humans were wiped out in 20 minutes . It was a long time but that was due to the brutality of the Kur clan .

Despite the person being dead, they would keep slicing the body again and again .

"Master! Slaughter is fun!”

"Yes, I can see . "

I nodded . The Kur clan received no damage . There were some minor injuries but their power was preserved .

'This isn’t all . The true strength of the Kur clan will only appear when dealing with strong enemies . ’

They were a species specialized in fighting together .  This was the Kur clan .

There was also a skill associated with them .  Rendezvous (U) . A skill that raised strength and stamina when many Kur warriors faced an enemy .

"The Kur clan warriors are strong!”

The Kur clan cried out loudly as they held up their large swords . An attitude like they were showing off . Most of the creatures gathered here took it as a taunt .

“ . . . . . . ”

Chrisley was tired of it but ignored them . On the other hand, Tashmal, who was wearing Firm Conviction, spat out harsh words .

"Hmm, I can’t find any dignity . ”

Her tone was filled with thorns . She had been fidgety as soon as she left the dungeon because she was concerned about the baby angels .

Tashmal’s three pairs of black wings spread out in an intimidating gesture . Her stats had recovered quite a bit and she could match high class creatures .

I was resting for a while and had a chance to check Tashmal’s growth with Mind’s Eye .

Name: Tashmal
Occupation	Fallen Angel	Title	* Angel of Light Steeped in Darkness (Epic, Intelligence and Magic Power +6) * Firm Conviction (R, Stamina +3)
Stats
Strength	77	Intelligence	88 (+6)
Agility	83	Stamina	79 (+5)
Magic Power	86 (+8)
Potential: (413+19/471) Uniqueness: An angel that spread light into the world has now become a fallen angel . The stats have been lowered in the aftermath of losing her wings, but they will quickly recover . Skill: Propagation of Darkness (Epic), Barrage of Dark Spears (Epic), Dark Thunder (Epic)

 

[Before and After Comparison] Strength 68 Intelligence 93 Agility 78 Stamina 69 Magic 90 Potential (386+12/471) Strength 77 Intelligence 94 Agility 83 Stamina 84 Magic 94 Potential (413+19/471)

The Firm Conviction helmet . The helmet increased her stamina by five and her magic power by two . Her stats were more than 430 so she had already surpassed Gigantes and the griffin . This was almost as strong as a 2Lv high class creature .

I wondered what the result would be if she fought the Kur warriors, but now wasn’t the time for that .

“There is no time to delay . Move to the right . ”

I walked out .

I needed to stab a dagger into Okullos before he noticed .

 

Moving with turtle island was simple .

It dived into the depths of the ocean with a shielding skill . Thanks to that, I was able to reach South America without any interference .

Of course, there was one more bridge to cross . I decided to go through Peru .

'Everything has been destroyed . ’

It wasn’t a country with strong military power so I thought I could easily pass through . But this was completely different from what I expected . There weren’t even any ants or puppies, let alone a resistance .

All the cities were completely destroyed .  The smell of burning flesh and rotting bodies permeated the air . Peru didn’t have a dungeon so I could only guess that Okullos was behind it .

“My Dungeon Master . The smell is unbearable . "

Chrisley pinched her nose . The burning and rotten stench was the worst . It was hard for her superior senses .

I opened my mouth and said .

“There are no humans visible . ’

"Isn’t it due to Okullos?”

"You think so as well?"

"The signs are all around us . Did he intend to gather some points?”

The tragedy had happened not long ago . At best, it was only one or two months . It was something he clearly did before entering the Demon World Auction .

However, was it really for points?

"No . It is not for the sake of points . ”

Chrisley was puzzled by my words .

"Then . . . ?"

"Look at the bodies . ”

The area was littered with corpses .  They were eaten by insects, rotted or burnt, but were still obviously corpses .

“Ah . . . ! None of them have heads . ”

It wasn’t difficult to understand after that . She hadn’t been aware because the smell was so bad she turned away .

“Sacrifices . ”

Tashmal said with a serious expression .

I agreed with her .

“That’s right, Tashmal . They are sacrifices to summon something . ”

I couldn’t imagine how many sacrifices there were . It was at least hundreds of thousands .

Chrisley trembled as she was enlightened .

“Isn’t he a grand duke? An existence like that, making all these sacrifices for a summoning . . . ”

I couldn’t act recklessly .

I forgot my pride and couldn’t easily move .

A grand duke was strong . They had high standards in other areas, not just strength . Yet he was forced to offer many ‘sacrifices . ’

Especially since I didn’t know who he was summoning . It wasn’t possible for me to have an extensive knowledge of summoning .

“Right now, Okullos’ mental state isn’t normal . It isn’t strange that he would do something like this . ”

“This is really . . . insane . ”

Chrisley concluded with disgust .

Soul assimilation .

Kin predator .

A summoning ritual .

Judging by the scale of the ritual . . .

‘It won’t be easy . ’

But I also couldn’t stay put .

A grand duke was a presence that I couldn’t leave alone .

I didn’t want to .  I hoped to knock my opponent down from his position .

At the very least, Okullos was within a short reach .

A fight between a predator and a hunter .

I formed fists .

It would be hard but that didn’t mean it was impossible .

 

Wide plains . Hundreds of thousands of human skulls were skewered .

A cumulation of cruelty . Okullos grinned as he looked over it .

Soon a magic circle was invoked on the whole plains, and a huge mountain-like shadow appeared .

“Who summoned ‘Nothingness’?”

Nothingness .  Something that no one knew or could explain .

A shadow of Nothingness was summoned .

“It is good to meet you . I am the one who summoned you . ”

Okullos said to the shadow .

Then he turned his attention to the Shadow of Nothingness .

"Are all those heads my food?”

“That’s right . Feel free to eat!”

"I am not satisfied but . . . I won’t refuse this big portion . ”

Kuwuong!

It wasn’t a mere shadow . The shadow moved over the land . The shadow swallowed up the entire plains .

In the blink of an eye .

All the heads instantly disappeared .

“Huhuhuhu!”

Okullos’ smile widened .

The ritual sacrifices had been completed .

The existence that no one knew about was now in his hands .

Okullos lost any fear .

Now victory was his .
