The Abandoned Hunter

Chapter 146: Return To The Sky Dungeon - Part 1

'Ding'

==========

[ Chances Of Surviving/Escaping ]

-> 59%

[ Chances Of Defeating The Sorcerers ]

-> 47%

==========

The moment he looked at the Chances, his entire expression changed.

He didn't know if it would be best for him to rejoice at the sight of it.

"That's...", he couldn't even think of anything.

Right now he wondered that the Chances Of winning increased only because of the thing which he was talking about which was situated in the Sky Dungeon.

No matter what happened, he had to take a look at what was present there because that was going to save him and his sister.

'But... how do I go there?', he wondered.

The Sky dungeon was floating somewhere in the sky and without a doubt would be quite far from here.

Therefore his Telepotation skill wouldn't be able to keep up with the vast amount of distance that was available.

That was what he was worried about for now because he had no idea about it.

He then turned towards Wolfy and started to think if he would be helpful.

But then again, Wolfy wouldn't be able to open the gate or the portal until and unless he himself had visited the place.

And since Wolfy had never visited that place, he couldn't possibly use the gate.

Jay now started to think even more deeply about the possibility of arriving at the sky dungeon when all of a sudden he remembered that he could fly on Akaluman.

He almost immediately took a turn and stared at Akaluman immediately after which his expressions turned gloomy yet again.

'Oh man... how did I forget that Akaluman had already been reduced into this state...', he stared at him awkwardly.

"What are you looking at?", Akaluman asked right away because Jay's stare was hurting him.

"Ah... nothing...", he turned back and didn't mind him.

"Weird...", that was all that Akaluman said and then started to think about the sky dungeon too.

While he was doing that, Jay was planning of a way to reach the dungeon.

'Ah...!!!!!'

All of a sudden he got a wonderful idea and it was basically a fact which he had ignored previously.

'I too have wings... I can also fly... then why don't I...?', he asked himself.

He was indeed right. He had the skill to grow wings that would help him in flying to great heights.

He had basically not considered that because he wondered if the wings could fly to such a great height because till now he had only used wings for great distances.

That confirmed him the way to handle them and have him enough experience.

He also verified that the amount of mana which he had was more than enough to let him reach the place.

But the only problem was that, he wasn't sure if the flight vertically would be possible for him or not.

Since till now he had only travelled at almost a same level while going and returning just earlier, he had no idea about the weight that would be impacted on his own body while climbing the sky and moving upwards.

'Hmm... I don't have much of a time... I guess I will have to try that method...', he thought in his mind.

He then took a look at others and said, "Well, I will be leaving for now..."

Immediately after that he was about to use Teleport when Akaluman stopped him.

"Wait boy!"

Jay who had almost ended up using teleportation had to pause the moment he heard the black dragon call out to him.

He looked towards him and said, "What happened...?"

It wasn't that he was annoyed, but the fact that he had almost no time left was indeed true.

Furthermore, he had no idea how his sister would have been there because he couldn't possibly truth any of the sorcerers.

He clenched his fist just at the thought of something wrong that could have happened to Sera.

"Tell me... is something the matter? Why did you stop me?"

Jay seemed quite impatient and no matter what the dragon would have said right now, it would have sounded insignificant to him.

Akaluman understood that very well, but just because if that he couldn't possibly skip an important information that he was about to give.

"Listen Boy... do you know the way to the sky dungeon?", Akaluman asked.

"..."

The moment Jay heard that, he was annoyed.

He obviously knew the way and if that was the reason why Akaluman wasted his time where he was considering each and every second, then he would have gone mad.

"Is that all...?", but since he respected because the fact that the strength he had received was from Akaluman, he controlled his boiling anger.

Somehow he was able to suppress it and asked calmly but Akaluman understood that he was no longer going to listen or think properly of something idiotic was going to be told.

Hence he just said one last thing, "Remember not to offend the Divine Statue..."

"Huh...?", Jay heard that and started to wonder what he meant by that.

But he could hardly waste any more of the time so he right away used the skill Teleportation in order to reach a good amount of height in the sky.

He was easily around 1,000 metres from the sea level immediately after which he used the skill 'Wyverns Wings'.

The system message also appeared as usual and everything was perfect, just that the sky dungeon was still pretty high.

'System, tell me the distance left to reach the sky dungeon...', he asked the system in his mind.

As soon as he did, another notification popped up.

'Ding'

==========

[ Total Vertical Distance to be covered ]

-> 3 km

[ Covered ]

-> 1 km

[ Remaining ]

-> 2 km

[ Total Horizontal Distance To Be Covered ]

-> 65 km

[ Covered ]

-> 0.3 km

[ Remaining ]

-> 64.7 km

==========

The system notifications were displayed one by one and after taking a look at all of them, he decided to increase the pace.

"It's not that far...", he said.

Since he was now the owner of that dungeon too, he was able to feel its presence and was able to spot its location.

But unfortunately he couldn't teleport to it directly because of lack of the teleportation skill's efficient.

Furthermore it seemed like most of the spells which weren't of the Dark Attributes were repealed and were prohibited from entering inside, at least that's what the default function was.

Nevertheless, he didn't care about any of those.

What he was thinking of right now was only about saving his sister and for that reaching the sky dungeon was utmost necessary.

Without doing that, he would never be able to save his sister.

"Hyaaaa!!!"

He used up almost half of his MP only to boost the speed and maintain a steady balance of the wings while flying.

He slowly started to increase the angel of inclination by which he was going to fly now.

Firstly its was 20, then it became 30 and now finally he was flying at an angel of 45 degrees with respect to horizontal.

That was somehow proving to be much easier.

Though, the moment he started to rise high and high, the clouds started to appear near him.

The vision was being blocked by them, but right now he didn't care about those, what he was thinking of right now was just the sky dungeon.

Furthermore, he had to just follow the map that was being shown by the system.

Thanks to that, the problem due to the vision didn't affect him much.

Though the less temperature did give him a hard time.

It was so freezing cold that he could have got frostbite anytime soon, but right now he couldn't afford to have such a disease.

He used up 50% Of the Remaining MP and formed a mana covering over himself.

Thanks to that, he was able to handle the cold and was able to move ahead without much trouble right now.

'Fwoosh'

'Swoosh'

Thanks to the wind current that was blowing in his favor; he was able to fly at a much faster pace and even before realising it, he could already see the sky dungeon in front of him which was hiding behind the clouds.

"Finally!!!"

He was quite happy to look at the sky dungeon and rushed even faster when all of a sudden he heard a warning note from the system.

'Ding'

==========

[ WARNING ]

-> MP: 15

-> Less than 5% Of MP is left.

-> Initiating MP regeneration by Heat Conversion

==========

'Ding'

==========

[ Failed to detect extra heat ]

[ Surrounding temperature is less than body temperature ]

[ Blaze Sucker cannot he used ]

[ Failed to restore MP ]

==========

"Wha-", Jay was shocked by the messages that popped up and even before he could tell anything, another message popped up right away.

'Ding'

==========

[ MP Conservation and Restoration program has been activated ]

[ All the skills will be deactivated ]

[ No skills can be used for a duration of 1 hour < 00:01:00:00> ]

[ Detected 'Wings Of Wyvern' ]

[ Deactivating the skill Wings Of Wyvern ]

==========

"Huh...?"

The wings disappeared all of a sudden, and Jay who was only 10 metres away from the dungeon, ended up falling towards the ground.

"Aaahhhhh!!!"

"..."

His scream could be heard loudly as he was falling down.

It was as if death was finally standing in front of him.

Though in reality, he could basically look at the massive sky dungeon that was right in front of him, going away from him.

Although he didn't rear right now since he knew that he could revive himself again as he still had one life point, the pain that he would feel would have been immense.

He didn't want to experience something like that and no matter what happened wanted to reach the dungeon.

But it seemed as if the dungeon that was within his grasps, just went away as far as it could and it was till going farther though quite the opposite was happening.

"Wings Of Wyvern!!!", he shouted But nothing happened.

"WINGS OF WYVERN!!!", he shouted at the top of his voice yet again but the result was still the same.

No matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't change at all.

"Dammit... why?", he asked himself.

He could feel the cold air blowing past him as he descended.

Though it was not that cold since he was falling at a great speed and the friction was doing its job while the height was being reduced, the anxiety was making him feel everything 10 times much more than how he would feel normally.

"Damn... Dammit all...", he clenched his fist and grit his teeth.

"Why...? Why the heck are my skills sealed again?"

"..."

"Aren't they supposed to be mine!!!?"

He kept on asking the questions to himself.

The height though which he was falling was indeed great and was noteworthy, but due to the great speed, he would have reached within 1-3 minutes.

But this very minutes, seemed like ages to him.

"Again... everything is being messed up by this fucking system again!!!l", he shouted.

He regretted getting such a system.

He still had at least 4-5% Of MP which would have been more than enough for him to reach the dungeon.

Moreover, he could have actually started to recover after reaching there, but thanks to the idiotic system, all his skills were shut and no matter what he thought of now, it would be impossible to be alive.

"Damn...", that's the only thing he could say.

The only thing now that was visible in front of him were the clouds and the sky dungeon was no longer visible.

Just as he was going to close his eyes, a system notification popped up.

'Ding'

The moment he heard that sound, he thought that he could use the skills again, but as soon as he took a look at it carefully, he found out that it was nothing other than the timer that was being shown.

==========

[ Time left for all the MP to be restored ]

-> 00:00:59:11 [ 59 minutes 11 seconds ]

==========

He just closed his eyes right after he saw that and accepted his fate.

'BAM'

"..."
