The Abandoned Hunter

Chapter 196: The Blood Overlord's Apostle?

[ HP: 5505+1000/5005|| Max. HP: ??? ]

[ MP: 4505+5000/4005 || Max. MP: ??? ]

[ Exp: 510595+100 || Max. Exp: 520000 ]

The MP, HP, and Exp had all increased, of course, with a different amount.

This was all thanks to the skill Blaze Sucker, one would think that the place for him would be like a hell, however, it was like a blessing.

What would beat getting exp and leveling up? Probably getting new skills?

In any case, it was a good thing that he had such a skill.

Was it just a coincidence when he gained this skill earlier? Or was it prepared for the moment?

Whatever the case may be, he was glad that he had this skill.

His healing rate had increased too, of course, he wasn't hurt at the moment but he could use the fir that he sucked in and was sucking in to heal himself. This was probably a good thing since he could not use Heal and Light heal at the moment!

He didn't care about Koriantan Combat at all since it was useless for him, he hadly ever used it in the first place!

*tap tap*

He had used the skill Dash however he disabled it after reaching the edge of the area.

How did he now? He found a huge wall separating the blazing side of the city and the non-blazing side.

"..."

It was as if a clear border was made between the parts of the city.

Why didn't he that both were different kingdoms? It was because there was no noticeable feature or palace or some sort of huge mansion on the blazing side.

If both were separate kingdoms, then there should have been a palace and a king, he concluded that both were the same city or kingdom since he could see a huge palace touching the sky just by standing on top of the wall.

There were guards, not one nor two, but thousands of guards.

All had red skins just like the ones he had seen earlier however they were a bit different.

They were much more healthy and well built than the ones that he had seen, also, they were probably twice the size of the previous people.

Their height was almost the same and the size seemed to be the only difference, however, when he noticed carefully, he found long horns that emerged from their ears!

'The heck?', that was the only thing that he could say to himself in his mind.

Ears were supposed to be hearing devices, however, that concept seemed a bit off here because instead of any ear canal through which sound could pass and reach the eardrums, there were huge thick horns, one on each ear!

'Quite interesting...', he said in a sad tone.

He wasn't happy about everything because right after the wall he could see that there were tons of beings that were happy.

Happy? Yes, they were happy in mistreating others.

Probably not all, but there were quite a few that were using tons of slaves.

"This is supposed to be a city right...?"

"Are there no laws...?"

Although the right seemed quite prosperous, there was a division here too.

The area was divided into two zones, the zone that was at a lower level than others was inhabited by the slaves and other lower classes.

The zone that was at a higher place when compared to the previous was the place where only the rich ones lived.

Rich? In terms of money? Maybe, however, the strength and powers played an important role as well.

In any case, one thing was for sure, the large castle that Jay could see which was on top of the hill or the higher area was the person who was dictating all this.

The ruler made no laws and was allowing his people to do whatever they wished.

For some reason, Jay's blood was boiling.

The ones below him were no different than humans because they too showed emotions.

Many of them were being tortured while getting whipped again and again.

Most of them were being bullied and kicked, everything was seen and the happiness that emerged from that seemed quite disgusting.

"These things disgust me...", he said while walking in the wall.

Of course, he was still using the skill of Stealth.

It wouldn't deactivate even if it were to use mana because his MP kept increasing even now, that was because of the burning fire on the walls of the city that was getting sucked inside him slowly.

Well, the heat due to them was more than enough to increase his MP and HP.

Regardless, it seemed like he had some plans.

'I don't want to mess with these small fries...'

'I will take care of the boss directly which will make all of them stop...', was what he decided to do.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

Right after using the skill, he rushed towards the castle after landing on the ground, by jumping.

He then rushed through the streets and as he passed by each and everyone, he could sense a weird feeling.

'Tsk, I hate this feeling...'

He thought that it was some disgusting feeling coming due to them, however little did he know that it was fear that he was feeling!

He had no idea about the feeling until he reached the castle.

The moment he stepped on the stairs that led towards the main gate of the castle. his legs started to tremble.

'What the-'

Indeed, he was confused. He hadn't got such a feeling in a long time due to which he had no idea about it however he sure was familiar with it.

'This...'

'This...

When he recalled, he found that he had got a similar feeling when he had first seen a monster in a dungeon!

Regardless, he used the skill Dash again and in a second or two, arrived at the gate.

Since his stealth was still active, he was able to slip through the gates and the guards.

The guards just kept getting bigger as he got closer to the castle and when he saw the guards in front of the gate, he was reminded of the moment when he had met Akaluman for the first time.

He entered the castle from the front gate and found the golden throne room and the throne too. A person was sitting on the throne with his hand on his face as if he was depressed.

'Is he the king...?', Jay asked himself.

Without any hesitation, the system answered.

'Ding'

[ Affirmative ]

[ Advice: The system advises the host to run away after using the rune of agility ]

As long as the system said affirmative, it was fine, but the moment Jay read the advice, he was shocked.

'What does the system mean...?'

'Has it gone crazy?'

'It was the system that asked me to kill him in the first place and now it wants me to run away?', he asked himself.

He basically ignored the system's message. The screen then disappeared and the moment it did, the person who was initially sitting on the throne stood right in front of him with wide eyes and a creepy smile with mouth wide opened and teeth clearly visible.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

Jay stepped back with surprise.

However the moment Jay stepped back, the person followed him too. It was as if the distance between them didn't change at all.

"And who might you be?", the person asked in another langue which Jay knew not about but was weirdly still able to understand.

'I'm still in stealth mode, aren't I?', he asked himself even though he was sure about it.

'This person can definitely see me...', right after saying that he deactivated the skill Stealth.

"A human?", the person or rather the demon started to laugh.

"A human here? Haha!", the laughter was as creepy as the smile that Jay had seen earlier.

[ You Have equipped the Cursed Daggers ]

[ Attack power doubled ]

[ Defense doubled ]

[ HP recovering rate decreased 50% ]

[ MP recovering rate decreased by 50% ]

Jay used this because he was way too terrified to think straight and just when he did, his weapons were snatched away from him by the demon.

"Interesting..."

"Now I understand how you are fine here..."

"You are the Blood Overlord's Apostle aren't ya", the demon gave the same creepy laughter again.

"..."

Jay didn't care about that and almost immediately summoned another weapon!

'Ding'

[ You have summoned The Hammer Of Darkness ]

[ All your stats have been temporarily increased by 500 points ]

[ Passive Skill Intimidation has been activated ]

[ Effects of all skills has been risen by 200% ]

[ Recovery rate is increased by 100% ]

[ Partial Body Armor equipped ]

[ Passive Skill 'Ruler Of Darkness' has been activated ]

[ Blood restoration has been increased by 500% ]

"Huh...?", the demon stopped his laughter almost immediately when Jay equipped the Hammer Of Darkness.

"..."

To be continued...
