DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 48
—–
We were sitting on a log right at the front of the village entrance.
You see, the tents are centered at the left side of the lake, while we were sitting right in front of them where the forest begins again.
And right from there, three creatures leaped out of it.
All of them were releasing powerful death and dark auras. Their power was commendable, and they were overflowing with mana.
I analyzed them and got this.
[Dark Netherworld Beast: Lv 1] [Rank: C-] [State: Hungry for souls and flesh]
[Dark Netherworld Beast Pack Leader: Lv 1] [Rank: C+] [State: Hungry for souls and flesh]
[Dark Netherworld Beast: Lv 1] [Rank: C-] [State: Hungry for souls and flesh]
I saw that their stats were pretty high, higher than I expected.
They’re at the same Rank as me but higher than my companions. However, they seem weird, they’re just level 1, and all their skills are not so strong nor varied.
At most, they had the basic stuff with some unique things such as [Nether Bite] and [Corrosion Claw]. They also had magic such as [Venom Bullet] and the classic [Dark Sphere].
However, aside from that, they looked not so threatening, aside from the big stats, which were more inclined towards speed and offense, leaving them vulnerable for strong and explosive damage.
We have to stop them before they get into the village and make any fuss.
I used my authority over the Undead I raised, and all the Zombies and Bone Beasts rushed near the tents and camps, protecting the people there.
In the worst-case scenario, they’ll use themselves as meat shields so the people can escape.
But the ideal case is to kill them before anything of this happens, of course.
“Lucifer, you know them?”
“Yes… Powerful Necromancers summon these monsters. They’re impossibly hard to summon because most people lack the magic circles, inscriptions, and materials. You see, Necromancers can even make recipes about Undead and- We better not talk about this here,”
“GROOARR!”
Our discussion lasted about 10 seconds before the three Beast leaped towards us.
They had the shape of oversized wolves with the heads of skulls and had black fur with black miasma inside of them.
Their empty eyes glowed with blue phantom flames, and their tails were bony and spear tipped.
The Pack Leader was fierce and targeted me right away, while the other two targeted Lucifer, Kuro, and Partner!
“GRAAOOO!”
Kuro roared loudly as he leaped towards one of them, his jaws quickly tearing apart their flesh, and his claws, which were coated in shadows, slashed right through their bony bodies!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Partner wanted to stay at my side, but I gave her the order to assist Lucifer and Kuro, so she nodded and used her spear to release three powerful thrusts behind the back of the Beast that Kuro was targeting.
The beast roared in anger as it fired a barrage of Dark Spheres that she evaded by jumping around swiftly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
On the other hand, Lucifer transformed into a dragon and used a strong body slam against the near four-meter-tall Beast that targeted him, surprising them as he transformed.
He used his claws to slice the beast’s front limbs, but the beast regrew a new one by producing a black substance that materialized into a leg.
“Damned beasts…!”
Lucifer got angry and bathed it in his breath of phantom flame.
The beast evaded, but it still took some damage while jumping over him from his tail and firing a barrage of venom bullets towards his face.
And me? Well, the pack leader was looking at me as if he had fallen in love with my ghostly beauty.
“What’s wrong? Too scared to come at me? Oh right, sorry, I am draining you guys’ Mana while sitting here… oopsies.”
“RROOOAAR!”
The beast was easily provoked as it opened its jaws and released a blast of nether through its [Nether Blast Breath] Skill, which I evaded, leaving an afterimage of myself made of shadows which it thought it was me!
I sneaked through his own shadow and emerged from behind him before shaping my shadows into tentacles that grasped his legs.
I grabbed him tightly and began to slam him into the ground, smacking him while bombarding it with [Dark Gale] and [Dark Sphere].
I had to be rough here, so I went for [Shadow Arrow Spears] too, and as the monsters had high resistance to dark and death element, and were immune to status effects, my Famine aura was not too good, and my venom and poison production would not work here either.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The beast got tired of my bullying while its resilience showed no bounds.
Its regeneration power was the strongest asset it had, as it regenerated at an insane rate and without it didn’t even require consuming energy.,
But this was all due to their innate skill: [Super Regeneration].
“GRROOARR!”
The beast roared at me before leaping towards me.
I evaded swiftly, but he followed me from behind even when I dove into the shadows, as he fired dark spheres at me and then slashed the shadows themselves.contemporary romance
This actually managed to slash my body and left some ghostly wounds on my body, causing me to lose HP.
However, I used [Undead Heal] on myself and brought myself back to full HP once more.
The thing is, two of his attacks quickly brought me down to 10% of my HP, and if there was a third attack, then I would’ve been a goner.
Thankfully with my [Mana Drain] and [Undead Heal], I can keep my mana and health up no problem… as long as I don’t get hit a third time consecutively.
There was no time to think things through too much, as I abused my constantly refilling mana pool to bombard it with long-ranged attacks as if there was no tomorrow.
The beast roared angrily as it took damage, its regeneration unable to withstand so much, so it began to lose HP permanently… but it was still too tough.
Should I get a bit more serious then?
I used [Shadow Storage] and threw the beast in there, enveloping it in a sack of shadows.
I began to shapeshift the sack into countless spikes and started to smack the beast into the ground.
But It didn’t work as the beast slashed my own shadows before jumping towards me.
“GRRAAAOO!”
Tough motherfucker…
