Dungeon Hunter Chapter 127:
Chapter 127: Shadow of Nothingness, Contegonom (2)
Then Tashmal accused him .
"Bah, it looks like you can’t remember anything but your name . Everything else has been lost into nothingness!”
Supak!
The shadow that called himself Contegonom moved .
Kwarung!
Tashmal responded . Countless dark spears shot towards him .
However, the shadow was fast . It wasn’t easy to hit him . On the other hand, Tashmal was injured every time the shadow moved .
‘Contegonom . ’
I consider that name for a while . I had heard it somewhere before .
Soon I received a small surprise as I searched through my memories .
‘Contegonom was king of the yetis!’
The king that no yeti dared refer to by name . He was the ancestor of a cursed yeti sold at the Demon World Auction and his name was also on a helmet in the Achievements Store . I never thought I would hear that name here .
The form of the giant shadow looked similar to a yeti . He must have died and become this . He was in a shadow state .
‘It is certain . ’
I needed to get rid of him in order to move forward .
“Mago . ”
Huuung .
This time it was the 2Lv high class creature purchased at the Demon World Auction .
The one-eyed Mago came forward . Mago regarded the shadow slowly . She had wise eyes that seemed to allow her to see right through the shadow .
'Fortunately, she is in a normal state . ’
Due to the failed contract with the dark spirits, sometimes Mago would have seizures . They didn’t know how to catch a high class creature, so I was dealing with the result . She would become tired approximately once a week and then calm down .
But today she was calmer than usual . Her one eye read everything about Contegonom .
Hwiing!
A gust of wind rose next to Mago, and she hid herself in the wind .
Mago’s habit was to mix in with the wind . I was reminded of her skills and laughed with satisfaction when recalling her status window .
Name: Mago | |||
Stats | |||
Strength | 89 | Intelligence | 93 |
Agility | 92 | Stamina | 68 |
Magic Power | 93 | ||
Potential: (435/446)
Uniqueness: Unstable due to the contract . Skill: Perfect Hurricane (Epic), Sage’s Eye (Epic), Wind Tread (Epic) |
It wasn’t a surprising status window for a 2Lv high class creature . The disadvantage was her low stamina, but that didn’t matter in the current situation .
Mago reappeared behind Contegonom . Her one blue eye was shining as she stabbed the centre of Contegonom’s hand .
Puok!
-Kuaaah!
Contegonom, who had been pressuring Tashmal, screamed . It was the first time an attack had succeeded . Mago used the skill ‘Sage’s Eye (Epic)’ to examine Contegonom . That was how Mago seemed to know a weak point .
Mago’s eye alone made it worth buying her .
Contegonom jerked back from the unexpected blow .
That wasn’t the end .
Mago pulled strongly on Contegonom’s shadow . And the figure hiding in the shadow was revealed .
-You . . . !
A terrible shape appeared from the shadow . A simple piece of flesh . The eyes, nose and mouth had melted together like he was failing to maintain his form .
He was a six to seven metre bipedal species but he really couldn’t be called a normal existence .
'He lost all shape . ’
Indeed . Aside from his memories, it seemed like he had even forgotten what he previously looked like . Something like pus was dripping from his skin, giving off a terrible stench . Bubbles occasionally popped on his body in different places . He was nothing more than a crumbling mess right now .
Contegonom urgently covered himself in the shadow again . His ugly appearance was once again hidden in darkness . However, I had clearly seen his shape .
"Gigantes . ”
I used Gigantes to verify this .
“Enemy! Win!”
Kung! Kung!
Gigantes seemed unstoppable as he moved forward . He was holding the huge club that the dwarf king made for him . Gigantes was thrilled about using the weapon . He was roughly snorting with excitement at finally being able to play .
It was a unique grade weapon with the skill ‘Instant Acceleration’ attached, overcoming some of the disadvantages of its size . Gigantes also wanted to see how quickly he could move .
Kwakwang!
He swung down with the club and accelerated . Gigantes had incredible strength . Normally the floor shook when he just walked, but the result was terrible after acceleration was used . However . . . the impact wasn’t as large as I expected . The shadow-covered Contegonom didn’t budge . The shadow was lacking to be called an armour .
-I will kill all of you!
Contegonom flicked out his shadow . The shadow was used to hide his body but it had a further effect . The shadow swallowed up Gigantes .
“Cough! Blocked! Out of breath! Let go!”
The shadow covered his entire body .
It slowly entered Gigantes . After making contact with the shadow, it seemed like Gigantes was dyed in darkness .
"Come out! Don’t become stained with nothingness!”
Kururung!
Tashmal struck down with the dark thunder spears but it wasn’t very effective . Like Tashmal, the shadow also had the attribute of darkness, so the effects were cut in half .
Mago was busy dealing with Contegonom’s main body .
And I . . .
"Do you come here looking for a coffin? Randalph Brigsiel . ”
Okullos and his creatures slowly approached me .
There were the 30 year old death knight purchased at the auction, a bugbear, a dark warrior and 100 advanced creatures . There was an advanced 4Lv horned ant king and some gigantic ants .
Of course, the one I hated was at the front .
“Okullos . This guy, what did you summon?”
"A **** who was trapped in nothingness . I called out to him . ”
The word ‘nothingness’ popped out to me . Where was it located? Okullos’ smile just intensified .
“By the way, how did you discover the location of my dungeon?”
"You don’t need to know . ”
"Indeed . I don’t need an explanation . You will become trapped in nothingness and then you will follow my words . ”
His eyes turned towards Gigantes .
Gigantes had stopped moving after becoming tinged with darkness . The black shadow flowing around Gigantes . . . it changed his eyes .
The eyes were still hostile but he had changed his target . He was staring at me like he wanted to charge over .
“Is he being controlled?”
“Huhuhuhu . That’s right . Nothingness is not dependent on the shadow . Randalph Brigsiel, how long before all the high class creatures you are so proud of are controlled? I highly doubt that it will take more than an hour . ”
"Then I guess I should kill you before then . ”
"Do you think it will be that easy? You might have earned the title of hunter, but I am a predator . A showdown between a hunter and a predator! I’m trembling just imagining it . It won’t be as easy as last time . ”
He proudly spoke about breaking the taboo .
I didn’t answer him . This was shameful conduct for a grand duke . I needed to kill him as soon as possible before the shadow showed any more bizarre effects .
I gripped Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword . The moonlight was fully charged . I had practiced Moonlight Falling for almost a month . One month was nothing compared to Haien Moon’s existence, but that was enough .
“My Dungeon Master . Give me a command . ”
Chrisley spoke on behalf of the creatures .
She was holding a red jewel in her hands .
Huuung .
Huuuuong!
A ringing sound was constantly emerging from the jewel . It was the item Chrisley received from the Unknown Box!
"Break the seal . ”
“I will follow your words . ”
Gulp!
Chrisley swallowed the red jewel without any hesitation .
Suuuk .
Suuuuok!
She raised the Death Wand and produced hundreds of shades . Skeleton soldiers emerged from the ground and a large crow formed on the Death Wand .
'The King of Death . Ganak’s essence . ’
This was the item that emerged from the Unknown Box .
Chrisley owned the Death Wand, so the box seemed to release an item related to necromancy .
Garnak the King of Death . He was a necromancer who reached the pinnacle . Those who swallowed his essence could have his strength for a limited time .
“Chrisley . Help stop the enemy from controlling Gigantes . ”
“Yes . ”
“Krasla . You will lead the creatures . ”
“Leave it to me . ”
"I . . . have a neck to cut off . ”
The delegation of roles was over .
I turned and looked at Okullos .
Okullos had already used Naturalization and relaxation was on his face .
He had a completely different attitude from before .
Confidence . Arrogance . He was feeling those things .
“Let’s end this, Okullos . ”
“Come . Randalph Brigsiel!”
Kururung .
The creatures clashed with each other .
I was in the vanguard as I swung my sword towards Okullos .
Moonlight Falling!
It was a sword skill that consumed moonlight to make a sword of light . It increased the destructive power of the sword and also confused the enemy .
It was a skill that was compatible with Dark Sword .
"Become stronger! Huhahaha!”
“Noisy . ”
Okullos was still relaxed . By now, demons from his faction should be heading to this dungeon . Was he thinking of buying time? No . . . he really believed that he could win . Several branches sprouted from his right arm .
A myriad of branches popped out from the ground . They took a similar form to Okullos . It wasn’t very different from a clone . So two clones were created . Their destructive power could be compared to Okullos .
“Look! The demons I preyed on have taken on my appearance! Randalph Brigsiel, you will also have the glory of joining their ranks!”
Three against one .
One was easy .
Two enemies was similar .
But three . . . that was a little arduous .
The two clones even used the same skills as Okullos . It was no different from an infinite revival .
The injuries inflicted by the Dark Sword didn’t recover, but the naturalized Okullos could replace them with other parts . It wasn’t the same for the clones .
In short, I needed to handle the clones in order to increase the chances of winning .
“Lightning God!”
Although he had clones, I also had a powerful army .
Grwaaang!
Lightning God manifested and attacked . The giant lightning dragon rushed towards Okullos .
Meanwhile, I dealt with the clones .
Chwang!
My sword struck a long stalk . It had been reinforced so the cut wasn’t very deep . However, the whole area couldn’t be strengthened . The Emperor’s Sword struck the side of a clone .
Jeeeong!
I had two swords but there were two clones . They both complemented each other and were pressuring me .
‘If only I had the complete version of Haien Moon’s sword techniques . . . ’
It would be easy .
The practice time I had wasn’t enough . More complex moves were required to kill the enemies . My job would be easier if Haien Moon’s swordsmanship was completely learnt . Right now, I didn’t have enough power .
‘It isn’t easy . ’
The situation was neck and neck .
My creatures were a little bit ahead in that showdown .
However, Okullos and Contegonom were huge variables . Tashmal was covered in wounds and Mago was busy trying to hold on . At least Chrisley was properly dealing with the shadow-stained Gigantes .
If there was one more shadow controlled creature . . . the situation was likely to reverse .
‘Time . ’
It was running out but I couldn’t finish this as fast as I wanted .
There was another problem . The demons in Okullos’ faction were fast approaching . If they joined then my odds would become close to zero .
'It can't be helped . ’
Huu!
I sighed and took a deep breath .
I didn’t want to use it but it seemed like I had no choice . It was the skill I obtained when three of the Seven Sins set was gathered .
It had absorbed the other skills but I didn’t know how to take advantage of it . The description was short and also had a ‘warning’ attached .
But this was the only way .
I opened my mouth .
"Corruption . "
