Hero of Darkness

Chapter 92: The Magma Drake

Kahn stood rooted on the spot and forgot how to even breathe in front of this ginormous figure that appeared to be a descendant species of the mighty Dragon race.

As per the knowledge he gained from the books he read recently, Drakes were the lowest level of creatures that possessed the Draconian bloodline compared to other monsters such as Wyrms and Wyverns. But even then, they were nothing to be looked down upon because even a single drake was more than big enough to wipe out at least a?thousand enemies by itself.

And one of these creatures was standing right in front of him. Its 25 meters tall body and 10 meters breadth had filled a huge portion of this surrounding area.

The red aura this drake emitted was far stronger and more visible and dense, it made the undead Lich's aura appear not even worth comparing with this gigantic beast. Kahn who felt a similar aura coming from only 2 people he met so far. And those were none other than President of the Adventurer Association, Solomon Elfenheim and the commander Straze Boltomir from the Military.

In a way, it's aura had even more regality and dominance compared to them.

"A High Lord!" shouted Kahn in disbelief as his Hunter's Intent sensed the aura from the majestic and dreadful monster.

A high lord monster was comparable to a Semi-Saint rank fighter.. But given the draconian bloodline, the enemy in front of was no different than a first stage Saint rank enemy.

"Hmm.. A weakling dares to enter my abode?" a tyrannical and domineering voice filled the entire floor.. Kahn shuddered in fear and there were goosebumps all over his body after hearing the dreadful voice of the Drake.

"Apologies, o mighty Drake. I've mistakenly entered inside this place without knowing that a superior and magnanimous being such as yourself lives inside the place." spoke Kahn and bowed in front of this gigantic monster.

Its claws alone were more than enough to squash 5 Kahn's with a single attack and even if 10 Kahn stood on top of each other, it'd still be dwarfed by the Drake's height.

"You.. How can a lowly creature like you can speak our language?" asked the Drake as it tilted its head forwards and took a good look at Kahn.

Flabbergasted!

Kahn had forgotten that because of the All Languages Knowledge gift given to him by Kravel, he could speak even the most ancient languages in this world.. And that included the Draconian language.

"I have been under the awe of the supreme race your Highness belongs to. So I have spent years studying the Draconian language. But to see it finally proving useful and meeting your grand figure here made me forget my manners." replied Kahn quickly.. He had no choice but to butter up this drake or Kahn would be barbecued by this monster.

He was no different than Bilbo Baggins trying to sweet-talk Smaug from The Hobbit movie so that the dragon wouldn't eat him.

"Interesting. So tell me.. Why have you come to this place? Do you seek to conquer this dungeon or do you wish to slay me?" asked the Drake with a curious expression.

Thud! Thud!

It started walking towards Kahn and small tremors could be felt on these grounds that were made from cooled-down lava. Kahn jittered in fear.. He didn't even dare to make a run for it because he had no skills that could outrun this Drake if it chased him.

And where could he even go? Half of this floor was magma while the only safe place was the ground that was the territory of this drake. Even the exit was already closed. Kahn didn't want to be the mouse who was hunted by a cat.

"No, your greatness. I've mistakenly entered inside your territory. Had I known before that your grand persona resided here.. I would not have dared to disturb you." spoke Kahn hurriedly to keep the dungeon boss calm.

"Lies! The proof that you've come here means that you managed to kill Ajak. To think that pathetic skeleton would be defeated by someone like you.. What a disappointment.." rebuked the drake and tilted his head down, almost trying to sniff the scent down from Kahn.

"How surprising.. You now possess his aura and powers as if you've absorbed him inside you." spoke the drake.

"It was a fortunate encounter o great high lord. I barely managed to live. If you would allow me to leave.. I promise never to disturb and take your time again." replied Kahn as beads of sweat dripped from his head.

Because as soon as the drake came 100 meters close to Kahn.. His darkness barrier, the skill which protected the undead Lich from Kahn and his subordinates without getting a scratch had already started waning under the extremely high temperature that came from the drake's stomach and neck.

"Do you think of me as a fool, lowly creature? Do you think I do not know why the likes of you come inside this dungeon?.. You're after the Dungeon Core that runs this place, aren't you?" asked the Drake.

"The dungeon core? What is that if I may ask?" asked Kahn politely.

"Huh.. You outsiders dare to invade our home for our most precious treasure and then put up an act of being oblivious about what you seek? What a deceitful species indeed." scoffed the drake at Kahn.

[Nah dude, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.] spoke Kahn to himself.

"As the Guardian of this dungeon. I shall grant you a painful death, you pitiful thief!" shouted the drake and ripples of sonic booms filled the entire floor as the drake raged at Kahn.

Suddenly, the drake's stomach even grew more fiery red and something started amassing in its mouth. Kahn's Survival Instinct rang like a siren and quickly told him to run away.

Side Hopper!

Kahn quickly used the skill and appeared 50 meters behind his previous location. Just then, the drake spat out a giant blob of red hot magma and the darkness barrier that surrounded Kahn before was shattered like a mirror hit by a stone.

As soon as Kahn saw this, he dashed away in the opposite direction of the drake.. And only one thought came into his mind..

[Run bitch! Run!]
