Chapter 124: Demon Predator (1)

Haien Moon’s Necklace .

The owner was a master swordsman and wearing the necklace taught a powerful sword technique . Ariel Diablo had obtained it in my previous life, using the advanced proficiency to conquer her enemies .

But now it was mine . I owned it, not anyone else .

I placed the moon shaped necklace around my neck .

At the same time .

-The Haien Moon’s Necklace has been worn .

The secret sword technique ‘Moonlight Falling (Epic, Passive’) has been learnt .

A refreshing aura covered my body . The blue light around my body resembled that of the moon . Today was a full moon . This was the perfect day to experiment with the new sword technique .

‘This is . . . Moonlight Falling . ’

I accepted the energy . The information about the sword technique slowly entered my head . And I could see Haien Moon .

He had a beast-like body . His hair looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while and he had a beard . He wore worn clothes and walked forward with two swords in his hands .

The image of the sword technique demonstration was etched into my retinas . I admired the beautiful sword trajectory as it moved in the moonlight .

‘Beautiful . ’

I had that thought while watching the swords move . It couldn’t be compared to the dancers who moved holding swords . Every single movement was important . It was beautiful but the sword also pierced the heart and head of the enemy .

It was a new experience for me .

'Swordsmanship on an entirely different level . ’

Ha!'

In my previous life, the Moonlight Falling that Ariel used was intense . However, it wasn’t beautiful . She had probably reassembled Moonlight Falling according to her own colour .

She knew tens of thousands of sword techniques . She absorbed everything and turned it into ‘Abyss Sword . ’ Haien Moon’s sword technique was just one part of this .

‘I will leave it as it is . ’

My thoughts were different .

I didn’t know any proper sword techniques . They were given to me during actual combat . A technique to split the flesh of the enemy . Simple ways to break the enemy’s bones . That was it . I thought that was enough .

Swordsmanship? I hadn't felt the need for it .

This bias changed after seeing Haien Moon performing Moonlight Falling directly .

This . . . was complete by itself . There was no need to make any changes to it .

Of course, there would be differences based on the interpretation . I lagged behind significantly when it came to actually using Moonlight Falling . But if I kept learning Moonlight Falling, I was confident that I would break the ‘wall’ on my own .

In fact, my swordsmanship had been stagnant for more than 10 years . My abilities rose as I became stronger, but there was no change in the techniques themselves .

So I wanted to learn . I wanted to absorb it . Ariel reassembled it but I didn’t want to destroy the ‘purity’ of the original owner, despite my lacking skills .

‘Haien, I will carry your method forward . ’

I stretched out my hand . Haien Moon’s movements imprinted in my retinas were carried out through my hands . There was no notion of reality . My hands continued to draw Moonlight Falling . Moonlight fell on me from the full moon and it felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on me .

A prophet . A sword master .

He was strong and I respected his purity .

Haien Moon loved the moon . His emotions were contained in Falling Moonlight .

The desire to learn and grow from Haien Moon filled my head .

"I am fond of the full moon in the quiet sky . ”

I laughed .

I recalled the days spent on the battlefield .

A place of slaughter . A place where I couldn’t even trust my allies .

Still, the moon was the only one on my side . It would never change or betray me . I understood a little bit of Haien Moon’s heart .

I held Wrath in one hand and the Emperor’s Sword in the other .

And I brandished them until dawn .

I couldn’t move without a plan . I needed to draw up a plan, divide the troops and give them time to adjust to the items purchased from the Demon World Auction . Okullos was a grand duke so I needed to be well prepared before going against him .

"You absolutely can’t get caught . It is important to monitor the dungeons of Okullos and important demons from an appropriate distance . Send me reports through the crystal ball once a day . ”

“I will follow your words, Dungeon Master . ”

Reconnaissance was a must before moving .

I used Krasla and a few dark elves for mobility .

Okullos knew my status window but he wasn’t aware that I knew the exact location of his dungeon .

'Your damn arrogance . It will make sure that you aren’t prepared . ’

My purpose was to catch him off guard . It wouldn’t be long . Meanwhile, I would use this time to gain a little bit of strength .

"Stein . How is the work of the dwarf king progressing?”

"He is so amazing! Seven unique level weapons have already been completed . At this rate, the basic preparations will be ready in a fortnight . Once the huge weapon for Gigantes is finished, his power will instantly double . ”

Stein said in a proud tone . Indeed, good blacksmith skills and superior materials meant that decent weapons were created . Thanks to that, the dwarves were growing every day .

A fortnight . I couldn’t waste that valuable time .

After completing some urgent tasks and learning Moonlight Falling, I pulled out the rest of the items .

Millennium Stigma, Lightning Orb and Haien Moon’s Necklace were all items for my growth . To be precise, they worked to increase the impact of Lightning God .

‘Lightning Orb helps lightning related skills recover . '

I used Mind’s Eye once again to confirm it .

-Name – Lightning Orb (Ex U)

Description: An orb held in the mouth of a lightning dragon for 100 years .

* Strengthens the electrical properties of unique skills . The user’s electrical magic power can be restored once a day .

** Can grant electrical properties to spirits .

Lightning God had a higher rank so the strengthening effect would have no effect . I was aiming for the ‘recovery’ and ‘integration’ options .

‘Lightning God . Move . '

Lightning God started moving out towards the Lightning Orb .

It wasn’t a simple movement . Lightning God felt resistant, but it couldn’t go against my orders .

After a while, Lightning God finally reached the Lightning Orb . At that moment, a strong sense of effort could be felt, but I ignored it . This was work that required intense concentration .

-‘Lightning Elemental (Epic)’ has entered the ‘Lightning Orb (Ex U) . ’

The spirit rating is very high . The effect will be enhanced .

The name will be changed to Lightning Orb (Lightning God) .

The efficiency of ‘Lightning Elemental (Epic)’ has increased . The consumption of materials for its use has been reduced by half .

Then I pulled out the Millennium Stigma . This was an item that formed a type of ‘contract . ’ After connecting Lightning Orb and Lightning God, the duration that I could use it for had increased .

‘Do humans call something like this a trick?’

My eyebrows furrowed .

Some people might call it a trick .

‘No, it isn’t . ’

It was finding a method and taking advantage of it .

I grabbed onto the chance .

Once I confirmed that Lightning God had completed the change, I placed the seal around my heart .

-Millennium Stigma has been activated . Lightning Orb (Lightning God) and the ‘Heart of the Hell Monarch’ have been linked .

‘Lightning God’ will always manifest in the future . When the skill is not in use, it is possible to use one tenth of the spirit’s power .

Millennium Stigma has been destroyed after being used .

The stigma was a one-time item .

However, the effect was enough .

After a while, a small fist-sized dragon made of lightning appeared out of the Lightning Orb .

Lightning God . It was surprised by the sudden situation and quickly looked around .

‘The strength is reduced to one tenth, but it is active 24 hours a day . I can also recover the strength when the skill is used . ’

Lightning God would automatically keep protecting me . Originally, Lightning God couldn’t voluntarily exit my body . But thanks to Lightning Orb and Millennium Stigma, it could now manifest for 24 hours a day .

The small Lightning God moved around my head . It was in a good mood after gaining its freedom .

It couldn’t be underestimated just because it was the size of a fist . It only had one tenth of the power, but an advanced creature would still be in danger from one hit .

“I look forward to it . ”

Lightning God flew faster .

‘Now it is time for the box . ’

It was the last item left from those he purchased at the Demon World Auction .

The Unknown Box was waiting for its turn .

The box was shaped like a coffin .

Chrisley stood in front of it and asked .

“My Dungeon Master . You want me to open this box?”

“That’s right . The item that comes out will belong to you . ”

“ . . . I will open it . Please step aside . ”

Chrisley was worried since she didn’t know what would come out . However, I shook my head .

“It is okay . I will be safe here . ”

“I understand . Then . . . ”

Chrisley took a deep breath and moved . She carefully lifted the lid of the box .

Huuung .

A loud sound . It was like someone was roaring .

At the same time, a violet light poured from the box .

“My Dungeon Master . This . . . ”

Chrisley said with perplexed eyes .

"Indeed . It turned out like this . ”

I slightly nodded as I checked the result .
