Chereads / The King of the Hell / Chapter 9 - Phantom Queen

Chapter 9 - Phantom Queen

Previous Chapter:

"Please just once, just once" Sorren continues to beg for permission from Xane.

"Ok fine but under one condition" after saying that Xane grinned.

"Ok that feels creepy" Sorren felt that something was wrong.

____________________________________

"Ok I don't care much so tell me your condition"

"I will send you to a dungeon but not only to kill monsters but to observe someone also"

"Observe? who am I supposed to spy on, and can't you just send someone? Sorren was confused that why he have to spy someone.

"No I can't because this person not so easy to spy on and I want to make it natural as much as possible" Xane Sighs.

"So who is that person that you are so curious?"

"The Phantom Queen" Xane says it with a serious face.

Sorren lost his words for some words and says "Do you want me to die in her hands or what? she is a monster at least that's what I heard"

"True that's why I am interested what is she capable of doing by going into the same dungeon she is going"

(Phantom Queen: She is the only BS User in the whole Country who is capable of using three different Element that are Ice, Wind and Water. She gained the Title 'Phantom Queen' because not a single monster has been able to put up a scratch or touch her, and also for her extreme speed she has)

"So do you agree to go into a dungeon but also to spy on someone?" Xane asks him.

"Yes, I agree with your conditions" Sorren grinned. "But before going can I use a heal stone? My wound is way to deep for it to heal up quickly."

"Yes, Sure!"

In the training grounds...….

Sorren heals himself using the heal stone and thinks of checking his status window as he remembers that he leveled up quite the numbers during the Calamity Break.

"Status Window"

"Wait I got a new element? Let's goo!" Sorren was overjoyed after seeing that.

"I see wind, huh?" Asten speaks up.

"But why I don't have skills available for it?" Sorren didn't see any wind skills which he gets if he gets a new skill.

"You are limited because you can't use the suits full potential" Asten explains it to Sorren

"Wait you say full potential then what is 'Partial Deployment'?"

"It just grants you access to deploy one part of the whole suit"

"One part huh?" Sorren felt like he can do something with it.

"Why are you saying it like that? Partial Deployment kind of sucks"

"What can you do with it ev-" Asten lost his words when he saw what Sorren using Partial Deployment. Sorren has condensed the power of lighting on his right hand by using Partial Deployment and deploy right arm of the suit which was shiny black and red linear design.

"Yo-You...What the heck are you doing?"

"Why, just trying to condense Lighting Energy?" Sorren said it as if it was no problem.

"Just do you know how much fricking mana it takes!?, absorb it back right now, at least you can get back some mana!!" Asten got angry on him.

Sorren absorbs the condensed energy back and get's back some mana but lost was huge.

"You are only left with 170 mana..."

"Umm forgive me I will not condense energy unnecessarily" Sorren tries to shrug it away.

After that Sorren borrows 1 D-Class Mana stone from Xane and absorbs it back which restores his MP back. He packs up and moves out for the dungeon with the spying job he is supposed to do because the dungeon he is goin' 'Phantom Queen' coming also.

After some time walking he sees a group of people standing close to a Dungeon Gate. As he moves more close he sees a UQ Fighter wearing a BS Suit the design was quite beautiful and the Main color of the sui seemed like Dark Blue and secondary color mix was bright Blue.

(Dungeon Gate: It is just a gate through people can enter a dungeon but without 'Return Stone' they can't exit the Dungeon.

Return Stone: It is a bright Blue Stone which allows a group of people/ one person to exit a dungeon, it can be found in dungeon after defeating the boss of that dungeon or can be found in the mineral spot of a dungeon.)

"Ok, I am sure that's Phantom Queen" Sorren was quite confident.

As soon he gets close to the group and person comes towards him and asks "Are you here as a part of the group? if yes then with what name is it registered?"

"I registered with my name only 'Sorren Liston'" Sorren replies that person's question.

"Ok your name is registered here, you can go along and have a safe journey." that man waves his hand at Sorren as he moves.

"This is some proper group" Sorren was impressed with the number of people and proper type of BS Users who are specialized in one particular ground like tankers, healers, mages and warriors. Some people were wearing BS Suits and some not, he thought that maybe they don't have proper control over there suit and that's why not wearing it.

"First time to a dungeon?" a unknown voice asks Sorren.

Sorren turns around and sees a guy who was wearing a heavy type of BS Suits which makes Sorren think that he is maybe a tanker "Yes, it is my first time to a dungeon."

"You seems to be way more confident and not even surprised for a guy who is going to do for the first time." the unknown man was picking up suspicious.

"Wait really do I look like that?" Sorren started to feel uncomfortable.

"Well staying confident is good but don't be over-confident that you don't need to wear your BS Suit" the unknown man advises him.

"Umm yeah"

'What can I do if I don't have access to use my whole suit' Sorren mumbled.

Suddenly the 'Phantom Queen' starts to command to enter the dungeon "Everyone let's enter the dungeon and come back successfully."

Everyone shouts "Yeah!"

"Well let's go into the dungeon" Sorren was excited.

"Yep, let's go" Asten replies to Sorren.

Everyone started to move inside the dungeon gate and Sorren does also, slowly entering and soon reached the other side of the gate. It was a huge room with white support pillars everywhere.

"What was the class of this dungeon?" Sorren asks Asten

"As much I remember it is D-Class?" Asten replies Sorren.

"Try to observe skill on 'Phantom Queen'"

"Skill Observe? now that you mentioned it, I never really used it"

"Use it on Phantom Queen"

"Umm ok"

Sorren hesitated to use it on her but he didn't have choice.

[Strength: 310]

[Agility: 460]

[Stamina: 1290]

[MP: 1500]

"Holy she can single-handle a C-Class Dungeons" Sorren was bit terrified of the stats of 'Phantom Queen'.

"This can't be" Asten was feeling troubled.

"What happened Asten? Why are you acting like that?" Sorren was trying to understand why Asten was acting like that.

"No it just that the special skill, I felt like I know which BS will have that but don't bother yourself with that, focus on this dungeon hunt"

Sorren realised it now that they have been walking for quite the time but saw no monster till now. He suddenly sensed something above him.

When he looked up he saw thousands of Red colored spider which got shiny blue eyes.

"EVERYONE LOOK UP!" Sorren shouts

Everyone looks up and as soon they sees they get's ready with weapon except the 'Phantom Queen'

All those spiders jumps towards us and the mages uses Fire and Lighting Magic. Sorren takes his 'Night Dagger' in his hand.

Sorren's dagger was engulfed in a layer of bright red colored electricity, it shined like a blood moon. The dagger travelled through everything it touched. Spider's dived at him from all directions but his speed was way too much, easily ripping through their bodies and a viscous blue liquid gently flowed out from the corpses.

"What!? these spiders are mutated, if so...no this can't be" Sorren tried to anticipated a worst case which can happen.

Suddenly He feels that the atmosphere turns cold. As he turn his eyes to 'Phantom Queen' he was surprised.

Thousands of spider where freeze to death just by condensed energy of Ice, the ice started to take color of dark blue because of the spider corpse.

"Holy she is on another level." Sorren just couldn't get enough of the view.

"More spiders are coming!" someone of the group shouts out to alert everyone

"ok that's way too much" Sorren lost his confidence because it was way too much to handle even with fire magics and lightning magic.

Suddenly 'Phantom Queen' speaks up "Let me handle it"

"But Celestia think it not just 1000 spiders they are more than that" one of the teams speaks up.

"If I say I can then I can handle it."

Phantom Queen moves forward and suddenly a sword made of pure ice appears. She grabs that sword and was waiting for the perfect chance to swing the sword.

As soon those spiders got close like 80m far she condensed wind energy into her blade and then pull out her sword and released all the energy she condensed in it which created a huge Wind Blade piercing through almost the whole spider group.

Everyone was just astonished of what happened in front of them. They killed the rest of the spiders which survived that attack.

"Everyone lets proceed to boss room" Phantom Queen commanded everyone.

Sorren thought 'I guess she really does deserves to be called the 'Phantom Queen' if she grows like that, then no one can touch her.'

But no one understood one thing in the whole room that Blood of those spiders spread everywhere. Those blood with become the next trouble for them as the blood contains corrosion effect on the suit which destroys one's suit slowly. These blood also have toxicity in them...
