Dark King

Chapter 124

In a small building at the street.

Linda was sitting inside the shadows. She opened up the first aid kid and began to replace the gauze on her right arm and thigh. However, she was alert at all times as to prevent any sudden attack.

“I’ve done good camouflage by getting hurt. I don’t believe that you won’t be fooled!” Linda thought in her heart. She had specifically stood close to the place where the beast with similar combat abilities to her was living. The purpose was to hurt herself using the beast and make it look as realistic as possible.

The seabird beast that she had chosen was a level seventeen monster. It was an amphibious beast but it could survive on land too. If it fought within monster then the seabird could kill much higher level monsters as it was seabird homeground. However, on land its combat effectiveness and advantages were limited. As long as Linda was careful enough she could avoid being killed by it.

She had gone all out against the beast to make it more compelling to Dudian who was tracking her smell. Even if it was very hard for her to kill the beast but she had to face it head-on to convince Dudian. Afterwards, she thought that Dudian will get enough courage to attack her.

Her right arm and thigh were still numb as she replaced the gauze. The claws of seabird beast had paralytic toxins. She was lucky that she had control over blood and could discharge the toxins to a large extent. Otherwise she wouldn’t be able to use her right arm and leg for the rest of her life.

“After I catch you, I will impose all these pains thousand times over on you!” There was a strong killing intent bubbling in her heart. It would burst out after she would catch Dudian.

Se controlled the amount of blood that flowed in her face so that she looked extremely pale. Especially, her lips looked like had no color or life at all. She looked very weak as she slowly breathed and leant against the wall. (TL: She could act in broadway ) One of her hands was always on sword’s hilt, gripping it. However, with her weak appearance she gave an aura as if her alertness would be futile.

Whoosh!

A rapid arrow shot through the window.

It’s angle was diagonal, directed at her throat!

The original ‘dying’ Linda disappeared as her body suddenly rolled and stood up. She swung her sword on time to block the arrow. She locked onto her target – which was on the opposite small building!

“You are dead!”

She didn’t hide her killing intent as she jumped out of a window as if she was a cheetah.

However, as she got close to small building her eyelids twitched. Some sort of a feeling gripped her heart. It was hunting instinct or intuition of a kind which had developed inside her after years of life and death experience. She felt a trace of terror as she stopped.

She raised her head and looked at the window from where the arrow was shot. She couldn’t see Dudian, it seemed that he had fled.

She wasn’t in hurry to chase so she carefully gazed around as she spoke: “Don’t hide…I know you are inside… You have prepared a trap for ambush, don’t you?”

There was no movement.

“You had done a good job by forbearing for so long. But once you exposed there is no option for you but death! I’ll kill you!” Linda spoke in a cold tone.: ” Although I hate the reality that I’m facing right now but you should be prepared to attack me as I’m wounded. However if another day passes…”

Her heart was calming down as she talked. Her rationale was affected by her subjective assumption but now she could clearly see more.

There was no movement at all.

Linda frowned, is it was just a meaningless worry? Did he really run away?

“I know you are inside.” Linda didn’t give up on hope to agitate Dudian.: ” You are hiding inside trying to lure me in. It’s so simple to understand that there is a trap inside. But you shouldn’t forget that if I don’t kill you this time, I’ll have many other opportunities to kill you in future. After you finish the training period you will be a dead man!”

Anger gushed out as she saw there was no response but she tried to restrain herself. She sneered: “Then let’s check who’s more patient!” Then she went back to her small building and sat down: “I don’t believe that he is not in hurry. He wanted to kill me. This is how I will take the advantage and initiative into my hands. As long as he acts, he will be exposed!”

She was resting while she stared at the small building in the opposite side. Her heart was upset though. Since when a dignified silver level hunter like her need to be careful of a rookie?

After all, it was a mind consuming and psychologically affecting to be aware and wait for the moment when you will be sneak attacked.

She still held back the anxiety as she thought of other plans.

However, as the time passed there was no movement from the opposite small building.

She thought: “We will see who will be consumed at the end!”

In the blink of an eye day was replaced by night-time. She had become increasingly vigilant as night was the most suitable time for sneak attacks. Moreover, her vision was limited.

In the latter half of the night she felt a trace of sleepiness. Even though she was a mid-level hunter but her mental fatigue had passed the limit. Moreover, the other side was relaxed all day long while she was alert all the time. If it continued like this for a few days more, she would be exhausted!

Suddenly, she understood Dudian’s intention!

If she was told that a newcomer tried to agitate and mentally consume a mid-level hunter she wouldn’t believe it at all but she was living the experience right now!

“No, I can’t be dispirited!” Linda came to the corridor on first floor and found a gap in the corner and sat down. She leaned against the wall to relax as there was no angle from where an arrow could hit her.

Although she fell asleep but often would wake up if there was a sign of a slight movement as she was worried to be attack by Dudian.

The night passed.

Linda woke up in the dawn. She didn’t expect that Dudian wouldn’t attack at some point during the night. Her mind was angry as she thought that even if there were traps made up by him bu how lethal they could be?

She knew that Dudian’s performance at an alarming degree so she tried to treat everything with caution. But thinking about it, the other side was child. He had never been to hunting. Perhaps he had seen her during the night but couldn’t get the courage to shot?

She couldn’t stop her emotions anymore.

“Damned little devil, let’s see what kind of traps you have arranged!” She looked over to the small building and then decided to go after him.

As she entered the small building, a rotten smell blowed into her. The surroundings was dimly lit but sunlight was shining from the cracks of wall and windows. Her line of sight was not affected much. But she was still watching around carefully for traps.

Although she was not a scout but after all as an experience silver level hunter she had seen a lot of traps. She had seen the scouts arranging a lot of traps so she was knowledgeable about trap-making too.

At the moment, on the roof of three-storey building Dudian was standing against the wall.

Yesterday, after failed surprise attack he didn’t leave the small building. Nevertheless, all the explosives were inside the building. Once he left this building he will be in more danger than in here. When Linda was calling out to him from downstairs he thought a lot but at the end decided to control his emotions and stay silent.

Therefore, despite how many times Linda called out to him he didn’t answer. The purpose was to cause her anger and affect her judgement.

However, to his disappointment Linda did not come.

From his perspective the ambush had failed and he was thinking about other new plans. But he would never expect that Linda would come here on her own!

“She still wants to confirm whether I’m here or have left. It seems it doesn’t matter how good a hunter is. The may suppress the anger but can’t resolve it.” A trace of excitement flash in his eyes as Dudian went over to prepare the place.

Linda passed half-collapsed stairs and went to the second floor. She looked around but still didn’t see any traps which made her mood more angrier. She felt as if she was played around.

Suddenly, she heard subtle ‘hissing’ sound as if dozens of snakes were close by.

“Is her using monsters?” Linda was startled but her eyes lit up the next moment.: “he is still in here!”

She clenched the sword with her one hand as she was ready to go to third floor. Although she took into account that there was a possible ambush but with her magic ability she could restrain the toxic attacks of monsters. She wasn’t worried about not being able to escape.

As she was halfway to third floor…

Boom! . .

Suddenly a violent explosion occurred which drowned the entire small building.

From the first floor to the third floor, everything was blown up!
