《Heretic King》Heretic King - Chapter 18
Advertisement
As we approached the hut, we caught sight of the beast guarding it. It was white, with sharp teeth that could kill a man in seconds, it had sharp hearing and long feet to help it move faster. It was gonna be a tough opponent.
The Killer Rabbit of CaerbannogThis beast has killed many a man, be wary as it is quick on it's feetLevel56
Shit if only I had a Holy Hand Grenade! The bunny was just sitting there surrounded by corpses of the men who tried to get into the dungeon. We quickly retreated to think of a plan.
"So anyone got any ideas?" I asked with a look of worry on my face. The girls not understanding why asked:
"Isn't it only a rabbit?"
"Yeah why are you so afraid of it?"
It seems these two haven't seen what happened to Arthur's Knights of the Round Table when they confronted it. They would have all died without the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. We have no such luck with an item.
"That beast could chew through both of your throats in an instant, are you sure you should be so casual about this?"
As I said that they seemed to realize even a little of how dangerous it was.
"Our best bet would be to somehow limit it's movement. My blood magic won't work as it needs fresh blood to use, and Elemental manipulation won't work as with it's skill level I need to be really close."
I could choose my sub-class which would open up more options for me to work with.
Sub-Class OptionsHeretic KingLeader of the Heretics. Destined to lead the Heretics to purge Heaven.Immortal KingKing of the Immortals. A Immortal with special abilities suited for controlling/leading the other ImmortalsSorcererA class specialized in Spirit Magic. Originating from Celtic Ireland.SynergistA transmutation artist. Crafting Class.Unholy MasterMaster of the unholy arts, and natural enemy to those who follow the Gods. Specializes in Forbidden Magic....

In this situation some would say Sorcerer but I am kinda thinking Unholy Master. Like forbidden magic has to have something I can use against the thing. Heretic King is out cause it would only improve my CQC abilities, which right now is a no go. Immortal King could work but I don't know any Immortal Spells and I don't have any flying swords, or just swords in general. Sorcerer doesn't seem as appeaing when I have Elemental Manipulation. Once that reaches a high level the Sorcerer class will be redundant. Synergist is there even a need to explain my reasoning for that? So Unholy Master it is.
Would you like to select Unholy Master as your sub-class?YesNo
"Yes."
"Switch main and sub classes!"

Those really do have good reason to be forbidden grade. Just Soul Siphon by itself is a good deal. If I restrain a level 100 monster could I drain all it's EXP or just a small amount. These will be answered with practice I guess.

Time to deal with the Rabbit.
With some help from Julie this should be easy. I just need one good hit on the thing and it's toast.
I quickly told Julie my plan and she agreed.
I began my chant for the activation of All-Devouring Flame.
"Oh Fire, who can create and destroy, empower these flames with pinnacle destruction so my enemies may know your power."
Just as i finished my chant earth sprung around the Rabbits feet and restrained it. Just long enough for my flame to reach it. It was pretty anti-climatic after that. I guess that was my own version of the Holy Hand Grenade huh?
Level Up
Ooh, yay a new level, first let's eat some of the remaining bunny.
Gained SkillGouge
Pretty self explanatory ability.
It seems a downside of using the flame is that no equipment drops...
Oh well. "Status!"

Crimson Astral Cascade
Summary: A vampire-astronaut from a futuristic super-reality, is reborn into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and now must make a living for himself and his family as a summonable spirit of the void. The ‘chosen’ son of a vast, multiversal, empire is exiled for the sake of political expediency. Honestly, they might have been trying to execute him, rather than just sending him away, but as it turned out, he survived. He fell into the grand nebula, the sewage line, and the plumbing system for the cosmos. Then he was within the base layer of the collective of mostly-destroyed universes known as the core worlds of Tesson. Now for the sake of his new family and new life, he will have to do his best as a “heroic” Astral, traveling between the myriad fractal-worlds of Tesson that still reside outside of the nebula as means of making a living. TLDR: Who hasn’t played a gacha game by now. But have you ever wondered about what kind of life those characters you’re trying to win have lived and are living? Posted only Scribblehub and Royal Road Confirmation Sequence: 2, 4, 16, 32, 64, 128…Tasty Cool.
