The Abandoned Hunter

Chapter 79: All Hail The BLACK KING

It seemed as if he was going to take a bath in that in order to increase his strength and regain the MP which he had lost earlier due to reasons unknown.

All the vampires walked towards Jay in order to kill him as per the overlord's orders.

"Kekeke, prepare yourself for death... human!!!"

"..."

All the vampires who were basically low ranks when compared to the Overlord were arrogant when they saw Jay being helpless.

"Hyaaaa!!!!", one of them immediately rushed towards Jay in order to kill him when Jay used Dash skill to avoide it.

"Huh? You still have some strength left?"

The Vampire started following Jay wherever he went in order to kill him. Even though Jay was able to dodge the vampire, it seemed as if the Vampire was catching up to his speed.

"Damn... looks like my internals have been damaged."

Jay was already suffering from severe pain after receiving the attack head on earlier. However he still had to stay alive so he was somehow barely managing to dodge their attacks even while suffering from immense pain.

"You are like a slippery eel! Stop you human!!!"

Jay had no intention of stopping and kept on dodging his attacks when other vampires were laughing as they watched this happen.

It was just some show for them. They were in fact thinking of having such a show daily.

"Damn... enough is enough..."

Jay couldn't bear the humiliation and the laughters. He didn't have time in the first place since he wanted to save his sister as soon as possible.

On top of that he wanted to leave the dungeon as soon as possible since he was getting creepy feeling from it since the moment he had entered.

"Lightning strike!!!!"

__________

Skill [Lightning Strike] has been activated.

- all foes within a range of 10 meters will be rendered immobile for 5 seconds.

__________

Suddenly a large number of lightning appeared out of nowhere and hit the Vampire that was chasing Jay.

The Vampire couldn't dodge at all since he was already paralysed for 5 seconds due to which he couldn't even use any powers.

Even before he had understood anything, the lightning hit him.

'BAM BOOM'

The light that was emitted due to the lightning made some of the other vampires suffer. Their HPs decreased drastically.

It was only after that when Jay realized that the light that he was seeing from earlier was only made for him. Either his vision was enhanced or some illusion was casted for him due to the Free Pass since that was not affecting them in any manner.

However there wasn't anything much to think about it. All he could do was use this for his advantage since it was famously known that vampires were hurt due to light and especially the sunlight.

"Ughhh....", the vampire that was chasing him earlier who was hit by the lightning was completely burnt and roasted.

The moment other vampires saw this, some started to fear Jay while others thought about killing him as soon as possible.

Some even thought about getting revenge for killing their own kin but it was a mere act of self defence. Jay didn't attack anyone in the first place but it was the Overlord who started it.

That didn't mean that he had come expecting peace or something. He knew that he had to use force in order to rescue his sister.

"Tsk, there are many more that are planning to attack me. I think I have only one choice right now..."

He didn't knew if the skill could work right now but all he could do was bet on it. There was a very less chance of success but he didn't have any other options either.

He inhaled a large amount of air and then immediately shouted loudly, "Use... [DRAGON'S CONSCIOUSNESS]!!!!"

The skill dragon's consciousness was actually a passive skill. It was a skill that would activate on its own and cannot be forced to be activated. But there were certain conditions due to which it was passive.

When the HP would drop below 10%, the skill would turn to active skill temporarily.

On top of that if the other stats and health including the inflicting of poisons or other buffs had dealt a huge damage to the user, then too the skill could turn into an active skill but it would be temporary.

And right now, Jay had been damaged severely. His internals were already bleeding due to the one single punch from the Vampire Overlord from earlier.

He had even coughed a large amount of blood and that marked the decrease in HP. It indeed had decreased but still 40% was left so there didn't seem to be problem about that.

But his MP was already too less due to the continuous usage of [STEALTH], [DASH] and [LIGHTNING STRIKE].

He didn't have any other card up his sleeve and that was why he bet everything, even his own life, in the skill that he shouted when suddenly the skill responded to him.

It could be said that it was pure luck, or the right timing to call out to the skill because the dragon's consciousness was not just mere skill. It was a skill that actually had a dragon's consciousness which takes over Jay when the skill was used.

'DING DONG'

__________

The Skill [DRAGON'S CONSCIOUSNESS] is activated.

__________

"Ha... looks like I can sit back for some time...", his expressions had changed suddenly.

The reason was simple, it was because he had seen the missions being cleared and even the King of fire golems and the Undead King were also no match for this skill so he was rest assured.

He was about to fall unconscious and let the dragon's consciousness take over his body when suddenly something happened which actually made him thrilled.

It was not a new skill nor was it some artifact that he gained. It was probably a new feature which got added thanks to which he stepped into another level.

'DING DONG'

__________

[DUAL SKILLS] has been activated.

- Two similar based skills with similar origins can be used simultaneously to give 100x the amount of their original power.

__________

Immediately after the first message had appeared, another popped up suddenly.

'DING DONG'

__________

[DRAGON'S AURA] has responded to [DRAGON'S CONSCIOUSNESS]

- due to the usage of both the skills, the user has gained the ability to retain his consciousness.

__________

"Huh...? Is... is that even possible!!!?"

He was completely surprised by the system's message. It was totally unbelievable indeed. He couldn't understand what had just happened neither did he try to understand since he was in a dire situation.

"Haha... hahahahaha!", he laughed loudly.

Suddenly his body was being covered by black smoke and black flames. The nature of both his eyes had changed. The aura that he was emitting completely cancelled out the aura of the Vampire Overlord.

All the vampires were suddenly forced to withdraw from the position. It was as if their instincts were saying to run away.

"W-what is happening!!!?", all the vampires were screaming. A fear status was developed in them and it was as if they couldn't move from their position.

The Overlord immediately felt the aura and suddenly stared at Jay.

"Welcome... this is hell's travel agency. How would you like to enter to hell...?"

All of them weren't able to comprehend his words. They were already in a critical state due to the dark shadows that were behind him and the killing intent that he was giving.

"By chopping your head? Or piercing your heart?", it seemed as if he was in the mood to joke but by no means anyone could laugh.

Instead the way he was saying was giving even more fear to them.

"Im... impossible... who is he?"

The Overlord forgot everything about the ritual and blood bath. He was just scared enough to think about his survival.

"Wait a second, why am I scared of him? Without a doubt I am stronger than him!", immediately after saying this he rushed to attack him.

But he failed to even touch him. The moment Jay turned his gazes towards him, he suddenly paused. For some reason he could attack anyone and anything but couldn't even touch Jay.

Even his wide range attacks were completely missing Jay.

"Haha, you fool, do you think you can defeat me?", it was just a normal sentence that he told but the moment all of them heard this, they immediately bowed in front him.

"Huh...?", he didn't understand what they were doing.

"Why would the arrogant and prideful vampires bow to a human?", was what he was thinking in his mind but little did he know that unknowingly he spoke in Dragon language.

The moment they heard him speak in that language all of them had to bow. He wasn't even aware that his voice was different too.

He had just started to think about it when suddenly all of them shouted, "ALL HAIL THE BLACK KING!!!"

The sound echoed throughout the dungeon while the walls also cracked with the amount of noise they made.

"All hail the... black king?", Jay stood clueless while being surrounded by them.
