The Abandoned Hunter

Chapter 98: The Ring Of Shadow Merchant - Part 1

Suddenly all the elves vanished.

"Huh? I can swear that I didn't do anything... then what was that?"

"..."

That was quite shocking but then Jay thought that this might be one of their tricks and thought that they might attack again from the behind.

So he immediately turned back only to find the shadow elf from earlier who has initially stabbed him a few moments ago.

"I knew it... you!", he was about to use lightnight Strike on it even after knowing that it wouldn't have much of an effect on the shadow elf but he wanted some time and that was why he thought of that.

"Lightning....", he paused again.

He wasn't able to find that shadow elf either. It seemed as if all of the elves vanished on their own.

"What the heck is going on?", he wasn't able to understand the situation in which he was put.

He wanted to kill them and not let them escape but it seemed as if something had happened to them due to which they vanished automatically.

"Weird... too weird.", he kept on saying this when soon another message popped up.

'DING DONG'

==========

[Congratulation]

[You have killed 87 Shadow Elves]

[You are eligible to redeem the [Advanced Reward] ]

[Would you like to redeem now?

-> Yes

-> No

The redemption will be valid only after the quest is finished ]

==========

"Huh? What the heck are you saying? When did I kill the shadow Elves?", he was puzzled after looking at the system notification which has popped up just now.

He was previously confused as to what happened to the Shadow Elves but now he somewhat came to knew that they were ultimately killed.

However he believed that it was not him who killed them because he didn't even know where they went to.

He didn't have a method to kill them either so it was nearly impossible for him to kill so many of them. Instead his life seemed to be in danger for a moment.

"Oh well, I guess the system might have had some bug or something because it's crediting me for something which I didn't even do."

Jay didn't have any problem in accepting the credit and reward since he welcomed everything that would help him to get stronger and be the best hunter of the world.

He looked at the message again and thought about redeeming it, but then whatever he would get be of no use since he couldn't use that unless the quest was over but instead of thinking all this he thought it was best to redeem it.

"I'll click on Yes!"

'DING DONG'

==========

[Your Redemption has been used]

[The Skill <Dragon's Breath> has been gained]

==========

"Huh? A skill? Dragon's breath?", he suddenly had a weird feeling cause no matter what skill he had, if it was associated with a dragon directly, then he would have hard time mastering it.

It was the same for Dragons consciousness and Dragons aura. So he thought that it would have been better if he were to gain some other good skill but now that he had already used the redemption, it was of no use to think about it anymore.

He looked here and there and found that there weren't any other monsters that had spawned other than the shadow Elves so he thought that it was save to look into the new skill's stats.

"Let's see... what's this Dragon's breath..."

==========

"Wow! That's not bad at all! It's freaking S rank!!!", he was stunned when he saw the stats of the skill.

It was definitely an attack type skill which could have helped him a lot but unfortunately he couldn't use it until the quest is over.

Other than that the info seemed a bit more details as it told about maximum and the limit of the skills.

"It's a good thing that I have got... Sigh. I wish I would be lucky like this always...", just as he hadbwished this, he got another notification from the system which made him frustrated.

'DING DONG'

==========

"Huh...?"

"..."

"Haha... haha... hahahahaha!", he started laughing like crazy while the timer started. There were only 5 seconds left for the monsters to be summoned.

"The system never wants me to give a good time... it always gives me trouble...", he realised something while he was saying this.

"I'm pretty sure now, there is someone who is watching me! It's not the system but that person who purposefully is making my life hard!!!", he shouted with all his might just after which the monsters started appearing.

"Dammit... I don't have a sword... nor do I have any potions.", he had thought about saving the potions for later but it seemed like the system understood his plan and restricted him from doing so.

"But it's good that I'm still wearing this glove..."

He was still wearing the glove in his left hand since earlier which he didn't remove since it felt comfortable.

"Now, this is the only weapon I have other than my skills...", his expression suddenly changed and it seemed as if he had a dedicated look on his face.

"Come on you fuckers, try and face me!", he was ready to face all the monsters head on while thinking that he had only one weapon but little did he know that there was another weapon in his hand.
