BXBX NOVEL Chapter 374 The Gravity King
Shin then announced that they had reached the West Terrain seconds after which, everyone jumped in excitement.
It was not that big of an achievement, but great news indeed. On seeing them excited, Shin decided to bring out food so that they could eat and fill their bellies – they hadn\'t done so earlier as it was not the time to eat yet.
Shin then brings out meat and water from his inventory. All the wolves start to enjoy their meals before once again continuing their journey.
They then spent their entire day walking, covering a great amount of distance.
It was a desert of course, but they didn\'t find any trouble. The only thing that messed with them was the scorching sun however they had nothing to worry about as Shin continuously gave them water from his inventory.
He had stored a lot of water from the river earlier, knowing that such a situation could occur.
Soon night came and everyone started to rest.
"Your Highness, please rest here…", Deoras said as Shin followed him and sat on the elevated sandy mound created by them.
Ass for others, they surrounded Shin, ensuring that no danger approach him.
They thought that it would be a peaceful night considering the fact that they didn\'t have any trouble during the day, but they couldn\'t have been any wrong!
An ominous feeling shrouded the area as their instincts screamed aloud.
Not only Deoras and Shin but also other wolves could feel that something was wrong.
Soon, the ground started to shake. The sand started moving and seconds later, many scorpions made their appearance.
Tens… no, hundreds of scorpions surrounded them.
"Your Highness! What do we do!?", Deoras asked Shin as he looked towards him.
Deoras panicked because many scorpions appeared, however, when he saw Shiin\'s calm gaze, he soon realized that there was nothing to worry about.
Deoras was the one who asked the question, but instead of letting Shin reply, he himself ended up answering, "How about you kill them all with a single whip of your tail? Just like how you did with that kingdom.", Deoras said with an excited look, to which a confused look appeared on Shin\'s face.
"What do you mean by, a whip of my tail?"
"Your Highness, that…"
"Stop dreaming and just go and attack them with the rest of the shadow wolves!" Shin ordered Deoras due to which he and the other shadow wolves attacked the scorpions.
Deoras and the other shadow wolves melted into the darkness and then appeared right behind the scorpions, launching shadow slashes toward them.
Blue Blood splattered as the shadow slashes slashed through the Scorpion.
At that time a scream of a scorpion was heard. Suddenly a pressure enveloped the place.
"ROARRR!" A gigantic scorpion, completely black in colour with crimson-red eyes appeared in the place. As soon as the scorpion appeared, it seemed as if the gravity of the place increased by ten folds.
Scorpions were also ranked based on the colour of their body – the darker the colour, the stronger the scorpion was. Of course, a white scorpion to date wasn\'t found.
Shin then asked the system to show the level of the scorpion.
[Name: -<none>-]
[Race: Level 60 Gravity Scorpio (Exp: 8.09%) ]
[Title: Gravity King.]
Shin didn\'t care to check the rest of the stats when he looked at the Level.
One must not underestimate the enemy, however, Shin thought that there was just no need to look at everything else. A level 60 monster has a max level set that by no means exceeds that of Shin, so, he had nothing to worry about.
However, one thing surely caught his eye – the title.
He used to ignore the titles if they existed, but the current title said, Gravity King.
Shin instantly realized that the increase in pressure in the surrounding was an effect of the title which affected both, enemies and allies – other scorpions were visibly struggling.
Shin was sure that Deoras could handle it. What Shin actually thought that Deoras was merely Lv.60 and thus, it would probably be somewhat troublesome for him to face the Scorpion, however, when he coincidentally checked his stats, he found that Deoras was Lv.77!
\'What the…?\'
All this time, Shin had remembered wrong. In fact, anyone who encountered Deoras didn\'t think that he was that strong!
Even Terran and Raka were almost in the 60s due to reduced stat, so, if compared, Deoras was probably the strongest out of all of Shin\'s followers, except Blanca of course.
Looking at the scorpion that just appeared, Deoras could sense that, it was strong but not stronger than himself or his master.
Deoras then melted into the darkness and then reappeared behind the scorpion.
As soon, as he appeared behind the scorpion, Deoras used shadow manipulation and created several slashes which were launched toward the gravity king.
The scorpion was very fast and was able to dodge those slashes. At that time the gravity around Deoras increased, bringing great pressure on him. Deoras felt as if his weight was increased hundred times. Also, since there was no exact stable footing due to the sand, it felt as if Deoras was getting sucked into the sand.
Deoras quickly used his skill and melted in shadow. This not only enabled him to avoid gravity but also helped him to cover the large distance between himself and the Gravity king unscathed. He once again appeared behind the gravity king and launched multiple shadow slashes toward him.
Deoras then once again used shadow manipulation and created several shadow chains, using them to bind the scorpion.
He then uses his skill [Rain Of Terror]. Shadow particles started to accumulate in the sky, and form a shape that resembled tiny drops of water.
Soon those shadow drops were launched toward the scorpion at a very terrifying speed, directly piercing through its shell.
Blue blood splattered from the scorpion\'s body as it screamed in pain.
At that moment, Deoras once again melted into the darkness and then appeared right behind the scorpion, and used his skill, [Shadow Explosion].
A black-coloured explosion occurred causing Deoras\' shadow to expand.
Deoras was planning to engulf the scorpion as a whole, but the scorpion dodged it pretty easily by going inside the sand beneath and re-surfacing behind Deoras.
It basically uses the same trick that Deoras had used multiple times a few seconds ago!
