Chapter 101: Proof of Abilities (4)
“Who are you?”
Kang-jun asked the woman. The woman then smiled with ridicule and said,
“Dekail. Remember that name since I will be your master.”
Dekail?
Kang-jun finally knew who she was.
Evidently, she was Dark Mage Dekail, one of the advanced lords under the Second Demon King.
He was surprised by Dekail’s sudden appearance but Kang-jun just said with a determined expression,
“Dekail! I was looking for you in order to kill you, but you came freely to me.”
“Hohoho! This guy! You still don’t know the danger of the situation. This is my domain. No matter how powerful you are, you won’t be able to get out.”
“Nonsense!”
No more words were necessary.
Lightning fast!
Kang-jun rushed toward Dekail. However, an unknown curtain blocked Kang-jun.
Kaaang! Kang!
It was an invisible wall. Kan-jun couldn’t reach the place where Dekail was.
“What is this?”
It didn’t break even when it was hit by his sword. It was clearly a magic curtain.
‘Heavenly Flow!’
Kwaang!
At that moment, there was a crack in the membrane.
Jjejejeok!
‘It worked.’
It was a magic defense skill, but it was no different from an attack when it came to breaking the magic barrier.
‘Heavenly Flow! Heavenly Flow!’
He used the skill twice more and the wall broke like shattered glass.
“T-that is ridiculous!”
Dekail looked confused. She had never imagined that Kang-jun would be able to break her wall.
Kang-jun smiled widely.
He didn’t need to fear fighting a magician after acquiring a Heaven’s Blood Sword Style skill that could break magic attacks.
Sukeok!
Kang-jun rushed through the undead and immediately cut Dekail’s neck.
Duk.
Dekail’s head fell to the ground.
‘Is it this easy?’
Kang-jun was dumbfounded by the situation. He didn’t think that he could kill Dekail by a cut to the neck.
No matter what, she was still an advanced lord.
Yet she was helpless as her neck was cut.
Surely, this couldn’t be it?
There was no way.
There wasn’t a single drop of blood coming from the body. Additionally, the two eyes in the head on the ground stared up at Kang-jun.
“You aren’t dead?”
Kang-jun swung his head again and smashed Dekail’s body and head.
Then her body scattered into smoke.
‘What? My experience hasn’t gone up.’
Kang-jun knew that the Dekail who just died was a clone. No, it was more like an illusion than a clone.
A clone would drop some experience and items.
Dekail reappeared in a space approximately 30 metres away. She smiled widely and scoffed.
“It is useless. Just give up and join me.”
A dark light flashed from her forehead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, a bizarre thing happened.
The black light from Dekail enlarged and covered the area in an instant.
Sususu.
Kang-jun was moved to a space where the woman’s giant face stared at him.
Her two eyes glowed in a manner that reminded him of the sun.
Just looking at it caused him to suffocate with fear.
“Lucan! Surrender. I am your lord.”
She had an oddly magnificent voice like a goddess.
An appearance that gave off awe and fear!
Anyone in this situation would drop down in front of her.
However, Kang-jun’s eyes shook and he regained himself.
“Stop talking bullshit and show yourself in front of me.”
A light flashed in Kang-jun’s eyes and the space shattered.
From the very beginning, there was no such thing as another space.
It had just been an illusion.
Dekail had cast a magic spell to subjugate Kang-jun.
However, Kang-jun couldn’t be controlled by any mind magic due to the Wyvern Ring.
Therefore, the virtual space created by Dekail’s magic was shattered by his will.
He ran forward and wielded his sword.
Seokeok!
Dekail was cut from her head to her crotch.
Hoever, once again, the two halves of Dekail just stared at Kang-jun.
This was also a vision.
“Don’t crouch in the dark and come out.”
Kang-jun looked around and shouted. Once again, Dekail appeared 30 metres away from him.
“Fool. If you won’t surrender, I’ll have to kill…”
She didn’t finish speaking. Kang-jun’s sword reached her neck.
Kang-jun cut her off every time she appeared.
That wasn’t all.
‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’
He used the wide area skill to take care of the undead around him.
The dullahans and death knights were just normal monsters in front of Kang-jun.
At that time, the outraged voice of Dekail resonated in the cave,
“Go! Get that insolent brat!”
It seemed like she was giving orders to other subordinates.
Three giant monsters surrounded Kang-jun.
Undead minotaur.
Undead ogre.
And an undead lycanthrope.
Surprisingly, he felt a lord level atmosphere from them.
They weren’t advanced lords like the centaur lord, but were low or intermediate level monsters.
That wasn’t all. Dekail appeared behind them but this time, the atmosphere was different.
“You fool! I will turn you into an undead and make you my eternal slave.”
With those words, she waved her staff and flames emerged from it.
Hwaruru!
Kang-jun didn’t flee but used Heavenly Flow. The fireball was split in half and the halves then flew towards his sides.
‘Ugh!’
A power that couldn’t be extinguished by Heavenly Flow!
It was quite powerful because it was a spell from an advanced lord.
Therefore, he received some fire damage.
However, Kang-jun’s surprise was nothing compared to Dekail’s.
The fireball that had just blown up was called Brimstone a.k.a. hell’s fire, making it a very power attack magic.
Even a lord couldn’t withstand it but Kang-jun blocked it. Therefore, she couldn’t help feeling fear.
“What are you doing? Go and kill him.”
Her undead subordinates…
They were all undead warriors more powerful than the skeleton lord.
“Kuwaaah!”
“Kuaaaah!”
The undead ogre and minotaur roared and struck Kang-jun from both sides.
At that moment, a mysterious light shone in Kang-jun’s eyes. He aimed at the undead ogre on the left.
Flash! Flash!
An intense light from his sword struck the undead ogre’s body.
Kwaang! Kwaang!
The upper body and lower body of the undead ogre was separated.
“Kueeeeeok!”
It was the end. The undead ogre broke apart and scattered.
[Your level has risen.]
[10,802 nodes have been gained.]
[62 small moonstones have been acquired.]
[24 large moonstones have been acquired.]
[You have earned 250 red moon achievement points.]
[Dark Staff (Hero) has been acquired.]
Kang-jun didn’t spare on using his chaos power. It was irrelevant to save it if he died.
The power of Heavenly Unyielding Slash combined with Will to Fight.
The undead ogre was destroyed at once.
‘Okay! Level up!’
As his level increased, his health and black magic energy were restored to the maximum.
He also received a hero rank weapon called Dark Staff.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a golden box or a legend ranked item.
Still, his level rose.
Levelling up meant that he would become stronger.
‘Will to Fight! Heavenly Cut!’
Kang-jun didn’t delay and used a skill toward the undead minotaur.
“K-kuwok…!”
The undead minotaur tried to avoid it but Kang-jun attacked faster.
Kwaang! Kwaang!
The undead minotaur collapsed.
[Experience has been gained.]
[9,802 nodes have been gained.]
[59 small moonstones have been acquired.]
[23 large moonstones have been acquired.]
[You have earned 250 red moon achievement points.]
[The Spellbook of Darkness (Hero) has been acquired.]
This time, only his experience increased.
Instead, he received the Spellbook of Darkness.
As usual, it disappeared as soon as it entered his inventory.
At the same time, unknown characters were absorbed into Kang-jun’s head.
[You have learned Aura of Darkness.]
[Aura of Darkness]
-Rating: Hero
-Additional dark damage will be added to all attacks.
-The power of your attacks will increase greatly in the darkness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm-Consumes 10 black magic energy.
-Duration lasts for 1 minute.
-Can be used simultaneously with Aura of Light.
‘Oh! This is?’
Kang-jun was delighted. It was the third one after Aura of Earth and Aura of Wind.
However, unlike the previous auras, Aura of Darkness was a hero ranked skill.
It was also the skill that Kang-jun most needed.
-The damage will increase greatly with Aura of Darkness.
Kang-jun was finally able to use one of the options of the Vampire Lord’s Sword.
‘Aura of Darkness!’
Kang-jun used Aura of Darkness without hesitation.
Chu chuk!
A black aura wrapped around Kang-jun.
At the same time, Kang-jun’s vision cleared.
The surroundings brightened like it was daytime.
Until now, he had to concentrate in order to see in this dark space. However, now, many things naturally caught his eyes.
-The power of your attacks will increase greatly in the darkness!
It was due to this option.
“Kuwaaah!”
Then the undead lycanthrope ran toward him. Kang-jun immediately used an attack.
Flash! Kwaang!
The undead lycanthrope was pushed backwards as it ran and scattered into smoke.
[Your level has risen.]
[8,732 nodes have been gained.]
[49 small moonstones have been acquired.]
[21 large moonstones have been acquired.]
[You have earned 250 red moon achievement points.]
[Dark Robe (Hero) has been acquired.]
Just one attack. Of course, it was due to the combination of Will to Fight and Heavenly Cut.
His damage had become much stronger due to Aura of Darkness, so the undead lycanthrope had been blown away.
Moreover, his level had risen to level 61.
Dekail stared at Kang-jun with a frustrated expression.
“Now, there is only one left.”
Kang-jun arrived in front of Dekail and swung his sword.
Flash!
Kang-jun didn’t think of failure and used all his power.
Kwaang!
Heavenly Cut, which contained chaos powerbody, broke through Dekail’s shield and struck her body.
“Aaack!”
Dekail screamed as she was pushed back.
Blood was pouring from the gaping hole in her chest.
“Ohh!”
Her face distorted with pain.
It wasn’t the freaky mannequin-like face, but her true face.
A beautiful face was revealed beneath the purple hair.
However, her dark eyes shone eerily. She glared poisonously at Kang-jun.
“V-vengeance…Colladikus will surely get it.”
“That won’t happen. Stop, Dekail.”
Kang-jun raised his sword with a grim expression.
However, that moment, Sud cried out desperately.
(Lord! W-wait a minute. This is a request.)
“What’s going on?”
Sud suddenly moved from the shadow and gazed at Dekail. For some reason, the expression he had toward Dekail was full of turmoil.
