Chereads / The Pawn's Pain / Chapter 15 - Petals

Chapter 15 - Petals

RESUME

The Thirteenth Continent is Liuhbas this continent is a disappearing island it appears at a random time. Because of this, no one dared to stay on the continent, people that stay went missing and never were found.

The Fourteenth Continent is called Bonfire it is a fiery island that has the shape of a bonfire but it also has another name Hell's Gateway because of the impossibility to extinguish the fire.

If there is a Fire island there is also nice and it is the Fifteenth Continent the Chione Archipelago this continent contains a huge amount of giant islands each island is as big as 3 countries combined, snow doesn't stop and ice don't melt the only way to melt ice on the island is using bonfire's fire and using dark mana on it to turn it into a Dark Flame. I also suspect that this continent is where the tutorial dungeon you came from is located.

And Lastly the most dangerous island the Sixteenth Continent we called this continent Monster Island but this island is impossible to name. When you check your profile you can see the time and if you clock on that you can see the full detail including the name of the island is only named 16 the default name of the continents.

This island is full of monsters and dungeons but you probably only see a few it is because of the skills of the monsters here camouflage is used to hunt their prey but if the mastery of the skill is high enough it can also be used to hide a cave or even a whole country.

"So there is that many continents and islands here and I just learned that you can see a calendar using the system, but what I'm confused about is this island's name is it not possible for monsters to name a continent?"

"Well It is possible but only a monster that can physically speak howl, bark, and scream doesn't count. It doesn't matter what language it is not as long as it's not an animal language."

"Ah, I see but monsters outside can talk using I don't know what language it is but I can understand some of the monsters, and what if there is someone who came here before you and they are the ones that named this island using its default name?"

"We actually thought that someone came here before us but when we tamed the monsters here and teach them language and asked them they said that they don't recall anyone coming here before us."

"Do you have any more questions?"

"For now I don't have any in mind."

"Okay, then I shall ask you this time."

"Ah, Yes!"

"What classes do you currently have?"

"I just recently got the Pawn Tittle and I have 10 classes I am The Witch, Berserker, Aura and Ki User, Ice and Lightning Magician, Beast Tamer and Hunter, Master Tamer and Jun's Successor."

"I know you're a Tamer but a Master Tamer?! And you said Jun's Successor?"She said shocked at what Pon just said.

"Ah Yes, I bought the Master Tamer class from the limited shop and Jun is a Tamer that made me his successor when I completed his quest to save his bestfriend."

"Jun? Bestfriend? Where did meet him?" She said asked curiously.

"We went to Saric Village after hearing from the other players that there is an old man that will reward the players a C grade class book if his quest is completed."

"Is his best friend a Wolf Type Magical Beast that have a special ability to sense artefact?"

"Yes! How do you know?"

"Are you saying you met one of the Pawns?"

"His also a Pawn?"

"Yes, He is one of the Pawns that died in the battle against the gods."

"But what I'm saying is true!"

"I know, I know there is no reason for you to lie but I'm confused how you meet someone that have already passed and what makes it more confusing is you are not even a spiritualist."

"When he offered me to be his successor he asked me to follow him inside a house and we wound underground, is that place his record?"

"Yes, that is his record. That is good that you already know where you can find his record."

"I think the Jun I meet is not him but a copy of him an NPC made by the gods."

"That's one way to think about it by the way can you summon Kleo?"

"Sure. SUMMON Kleo" Kleo was summoned and saw Amare and run towards her barking.

"Hahaha, Long time no see little helper."

Kwu wa

"It seems like you're close with him."

"That is true."

"You said that you bought class books from the limited shop and if you bought the other magician and sorcerer class use it so you can maximize your magic damage for each element early on."

"Oh, Thanks I think I bought all. I'll use them later."

"Amare Thanks for helping me out. I'll return later!"

I used the class books Amare recommended and now I have a talent for every element including dark magic. It's 9 months since we started to create the scroll and it's already 91% completed and only about 1 more month to finish.

"Master, You're back please rest, we are heading out early for tomorrow's expedition."

"Yeah, Don't worry."

They rested for the next day's early expedition. It's now 4 AM and they already geared up and about to leave.

"Master, Everyone's already geared up!"

"Then let's head out now while the monsters are still out."

Even though they cannot understand Hisses (The name of the Tribra the) they know that it knows the place very well so they made him lead the way to wherever he wanted to go. They went through the largest forest towards northwest monsters in forest woke up and followed them while the others from the back shoot and attack the following monsters behind.

While running they found a cave and went inside then blocked the way.

"We got followed again, is this a normal occurrence?"

"Unfortunately, Yes"

"Master, We plan to go deep inside will you accompany us?"

"Yes."

Even if I want to tame the monsters outside I am unable to because of the overleveled monsters and their resilience.

[You have entered Rose Vampires]

[Obtained 20 Bronze]

[Obtained Fame]

In this dungeon, there were no monsters but on the floor, blood is barely visible and rose petals are on the floor scattered randomly. On the first floor of the dungeon scratching, sounds can faintly be heard the door to the second floor is locked unable to enter we look around for a lever or button to open the door.

A few moments later the scratching sounds started to be more clearly heard and faint mana can be felt behind us. The scratching us stopped but the mana I sense started to get close and the rose petals flew fast at us but we managed to burn the petals.

When the rose petals have burned the door from behind creaked and opened a little behind the door is a stair to darkness. "Master, I think we need to burn the petals." Bite said and we listen and burned the petals. The door opened and the smell of blood stings our noses.

We also see petals on the floor of the second floor and because of the first floor we also burned the petals we saw on the second floor. Upon stepping into the second half of the room our hp started to drain and the petals returned but this time around the petals flew aggressively and rapidly.

Scratch fling fling

The loud sound of the petals scratching and hitting each other echoes the floor. It seems like the petals are made from our hp and have the same speed and strength of our stat and the petals that flew on us are not switching on others.

Even using heatwaves and a lot of mana on the skill was still not enough to melt the petals unable to do anything I did the only way I think I unsummoned them and used the most powerful fire spell I had and used dark mana to amplify its destructive power.

The door to the third floor opens and unlike the first two floors, the third floor has rooms 7 rooms to be exactly. For the 7th door the boss room to open we needed to clear the first 6 rooms. I summoned them back out and we entered the first room where rose petals on the floor turned black.

"Master, Is the petals imbued with dark mana, it is similar to the mana Fool uses." He is right the petals have dark mana. But because of my Dark Magician and Sorcerer class my talent for dark magic is tripled as regular talent and I was able to take over the dark mana on the petals and by that the first floor was cleared.

After we replenish our mana and hp we entered the second room upon entering our hp was drained again and the petals were again as fast as before. "I'll unsummon you guys, for now, I noticed their pattern."

"Ye-" Again I used my powerful fire attack and imbued it with dark mana and didn't work now this time I tried to do what I did on the first floor and take over the petal and it worked. After I replenish my mana and HP we entered the third floor. I am still summoned despite knowing what the pattern is because the pattern might change.

In the Third room was again petals were scattered on the floor and this time instead of mana it is covered with aura. The petals might be slow because of the aura but it was heavy and when it can potentially break bones. Thanks to my 8 months of aura training I am able to flicker the petals and burned them before the aura returns.

We entered the fourth room and still this time I was right on what the pattern is the petal was covered and imbued with aura and dark mana. This room gave me hard time because of the dark mana it made it harder to flicker the aura on the petals and because of the dark mana its speed is now fast enough to even equal a movement of an assassin.

The only reason I managed to keep up is that there are only 3 petals because I didn't summon the others. I tried to flicker one of the petals and take over the dark mana as fast as I can and manage to destroy one but a petal is heading toward me from behind. "PERMEATION" Thanks to that skill I manage to dodge the petal by making it pass through me.

Only two more petals left and I can't use the skill anymore because of its cooldown. I forgot that I have other elemental attacks and now I used spike wall to slow the other petal while I flicker and take over the other. My mana is rapidly decreasing because of the spells I cast but thanks to that there is only one more left and I was able to take over it.

After I replenish my mana again I was contemplating if I should summon them and follow me to the fifth, if my hunch is correct that means in this room the petal is now also using a Ki. I entered the room without them and I was right that the petals are imbued with Ki but because of it, the petal used its ki and now the speed of the petal is twice as other ones before. "Ah, I don't have high proficiency on this energy.

I used another spell to stop the other but it just dig through the ice and land I created. And I remembered the record when I tamed a nonliving object. I covered myself with ice land and coated myself with all kinds of energy I have and focus all my remaining aura to tame one of the petals.
