Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 280 Kill The Wolf! (1)

As the large cube appeared, the [Perfect Night Domain], its presence demanded for all eyes to at least give it a glance.

One particular party was especially interested in this new development, the Mage who was battling Tulnas, flashes of lightning bursting from around her without her making any gestures turned to the scene.

The arching loud bolts she emitted sought out Tulnas who dashed to and fro while being covered by Bradd’s waves of sand.

‘So that’s the Mage. He didn’t seem like much before. What is that? A shadow element affinity? No, this feels different. Less… boring…’ the Mage, whose name had been said to be Gwendelina said as she gazed at the [Perfect Night Domain] in the distance.

She was slowly losing interest in the game that Tulnas was playing as he had simply been wasting time while monitoring everyone’s battles, making sure everyone was ‘fine’.

He was buying time in a way, but then again, Gwendelina wouldn’t stop him either as she was too lazy to engage seriously with him if this was all he had to offer.

Now, both Tulnas and her turned to the cube, the Guild leader wondering what Skullius would do next.

Gwendelina lifted her hand from under the gold and black robes, its slender appearance looking particularly beautiful as its movement became traced by an arc of white lightning that she then directed towards the [Perfect Night Domain]!

The arc flew unhindered, with its appearance lightning up the area as it reached the large, dark construct in an instant!

BZZTT! BZzzz…

The lightning bolt smashed into the [Perfect Night Domain] but shockingly, it fizzled out, sparks being the only thing that remained until even those little embers died down.

“Fascinating…” the Mage’s eyes lit up as she smiled lightly.

A pillar of sand shot towards Gwendelina, however, a magic formation sprung before her and warded away the sand.

“It’s not a good habit to divert your attention from your opponent Miss Mage…” Tulnas said from a distance with his taunting smile online over his facial network._.

“You’ve been playing a boring game. Why don’t you try to make me take you seriously?” Gwendelina retorted with an apathetic expression.

“Sure…” Tulnas gave a succinct answer as he started fighting seriously.

Darkness.

This was all the that alpha wolf saw.

A pitch black darkness from which nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard and nothing could be smelt.

It felt a powerful suppression that sought to trample over its might, limiting its speed and power but it persisted to fight against this, running around the darkness as it tried to somehow find a way to escape.

Skullius who was still in a torn state watched from the distance, his vision having much clarity to spare.

“[Luminous Healing].”

A surge of energy ravaged Skullius’ body, beginning to heal his wounds as a vast amount of strength almost overwhelmed his being as he was now in the [Perfect Night Domain].

He was empowered by the darkness and he enjoyed the feeling of overwhelming power with a satisfied sigh.

Given the circumstances, Skullius immediately rushed to attack the wolf which was not privy to his position as it darted around.

He hurried to attack because while his [Perfect Night Domain] was a great trap that dismantled one’s senses, rendering their ability to navigate and perceive danger useless, he was unable to move it.

It’s limited size culled his ability to make it an infinitely more perfect trap that would loop an enemies movements.

Additionally, the skill wasn’t geared towards holding things within and thus, if the wolf just started to bolt in one direction, even with its suppressed speed, it could eventually reach the outside of the darkness!

To all this off…

A Tier 5 creature!

This was Skullius’ first time seeing something like this!

It was a powerful monster too!

This creature’s stats were simply insane and it also had the <Empowered> tag much like the other creatures he had faced, possessing similar enhancements.

All this accounted for, Skullius had to take care of the wolf quickly!

But first…

‘Radiant Awakening!’

Skullius entire body turned bright, waves of light emitting from it like a miniature sun, the darkness around not quelling its brilliance!

He had activated the cluster of skills that he eventually wanted to turn into a singular skill, his body crackling with power that was further bolstered by the fact that he already had an 80% increase in his physicality!

His figure darted like a shooting star towards the blackish-red furred wolf that didn’t sense his speedy approach at all!

Skullius leapt up and brought down his fist onto the head of the wolf, the creature grunting in pain as it plummeted to the ground without any additional effects supporting this in the domain!

He leapt up once again, launching up high as a red glow bubbled in his palm as he cast a skill that summoned an incredibly dangerous heat!

The moment a ball of vicious flame fully manifested, he flung it down at the wolf which had been about to stand up!

In silence, tongues of fire roared as they covered a large area, madly flowing as they leapt and roiled with their red hue, encasing the wolf at the very centre as for the first time, the creature tasted the [Revenant Flames of Ecstasy]!

The image below the Discount Human truly looked like hell!

Skullius saw the wolf burn in the cruel flames but he wasn’t done yet.

He fell into the flames that didn’t have any effect on him and dashed forward with his radiant figure!

He grabbed the hilt to [Demion’s Dance] and slashed at the wolf that was burning with a basic upward slash that went from the creature’s chest to the shoulder!

Once again Skullius felt the sensation of death screaming from the sword as he slashed with its green blade, his hair rising as all his physical strength was used for the singular slash that seamlessly cut the beast’s defences, its frontal leg almost being completely lopped off by the sharp edge!

Blood poured and instantly burned from the roaring fire that was already devouring the wolf, burning away its fur without mercy as they left only charred flesh!

Skullius felt a wave of weakness like before, but the sensation was mostly held back by the fact that he was supported by the domain.

The Swindling Death Dance really took a lot out of him but he still felt like he wasn’t using it the fullest.

He drew back from the flames and watched as the wolf bled and screamed silently, its visage making strange expressions as the flame took effect.

‘That’s it?’ he thought as he felt something wrong.

Skullius didn’t think he would ever say something like this, but…

‘That was too easy…’

As the flame’s scope was limited by the darkness within the domain, Skullius waited, looking intently at the scene before him.

Then…

‘Of course you wouldn’t die just like that,’ he said as he saw from the large wolf’s head, a purple eye opening up as it went on to look directly at him!
