Chereads / The Reincarnation of Drake Silver / Chapter 27 - Secret Quest 2

Chapter 27 - Secret Quest 2

Drake laughed menacingly at the snake and yelled,"Call of a leader!". His speed dropped but his strength and vitality jumped considerably and Heth could tell that Drake's body had just undergone some sort of transformation, converting his speed for more power.

Heth nodded his head in satisfaction as he watched Drake thinking to himself,'So he finally realized that he can't beat it with traditional means. Now we will see the limits of his strength, for my sake I hope he is worthy enough.'

Drake said in his mind,"General, I have released all the power I can muster! Tell me what I need to do!"

General responded,"Yes, My lord! Run as fast as you can towards the snake and deliver an aura punch!"

Drake did as he was told and pulled more aura into his fist than the rest of his body. He rushed forwards as fast he could manage now that he had cut some of his speed and quickly got next to the snake before it could realize. He wound up his punch and struck the snake in its side as hard as he could. The snake was once again thrown into the wall, however this time there was visible damage on the snake, as the aura punch that Drake had delivered the snake had made an indent onto its side.

Drake laughed and said,"That was it!! Pure power! Hahaha! Let's do this, you overgrown worm!"

The snake, as if he could understand what Drake had just told it, screamed and slithered towards Drake, opening its mouth and letting loose a torrent of flames towards Drake. Drake didn't dodge and simply surrounded himself in his aura as a protective shield.

Heth was worried as he looked on at the battle and waited with baited breath to see if Drake had survived. Heth didn't know why Drake didn't dodge its fire breath attack as even he would be seriously injured if that hit him. Heth thought to himself,'More importantly, the unpierceable only uses its fire breath when it feels like it is threatened by a stronger existence than itself, or it has been injured while fighting. Drake, how strong are you?'

Heth would not have his question answered as Drake suddenly emerged unscathed except for a burn mark on his front chest piece. Drake looked down at his chest piece and smiled once more, looking up at the snake and saying,"Oh, you burned me…. You fucked up!" Heth watched as Drake's aura seemed to grow by almost double its size and how Drake's body seemed to get much bulkier than before once again. Heth once again thought to himself,'Just how much are you hiding? How strong are you?'

Drake then released one of his final tricks, lightning control. He summoned his red lightning aura into his hands and started to control its movements with his energy control skill. Drake had to admit for his first skill that was below epic class, even with it being a rare skill, his proficiency in using it was starting to shoot through the roof. Almost every attack at a high level of play requires a tremendous amount of energy, whether that be with aura, warrior energy, mana, it can be any type, however you must get better at controlling and using large amounts of energy. This was what Drake was doing recently, trying to fine tune his control over his energy through tough repeated battles.

Drake then gathered all the energy into his hand and struck at the ground as hard as he could, making the lightning travel into the ground and causing the ground to crack and shake as if there was an earthquake happening. The earthquake caused the snake to be caught off guard, and also lose track of Drakes location. Drake immediately took advantage of this and sprinted behind the snake, jumping up when the time was right, putting his arms around the neck of the giant snake. Drake couldn't put his hand together around its giant neck so he put his hand on either side of its neck and pressed them together as if he was trying to clap.

The snake, feeling the pressure on its neck from the human squeezing it, started squirming and launching its head at walls and the ground, trying to shake off the annoying human. However no matter how much it squirmed the snake couldn't get out of the humans grip, and his grip was starting to choke it! He was starting to have more and more trouble breathing! He had to get this thing off of his head now!

The snake then summoned his fire and shot it up at the ceiling, where it simply turned around and came back down on top of itself and Drake. The snake was immune, however Drake was not, and if Drake moved his aura away from his hands to protect himself from the flames he would lose his grip and lose any chance he has of beating this thing. So drake took the hard choice in this situation and chose to pour all of his power into crushing the snake, summoning his lightning into his hands, trying to conduct as much power as he could. He was getting close and he knew it, he just had to survive.

Heth watched on in awe as Drake took the fire blast straight to himself without any protection this time, screaming out in pain as he did so. Heth thought to himself,'Another bites the dust, huh?' Heth started to get ready to kill the snake as if he didn't it would slither over to his village and start eating his brethren. That was when Heth heard "AAARRGHH!! DIEEEEE!""

Drake was not dead as Heth had presumed and now the snake could no longer spew fire as Drake's grip became tighter and tighter. The snake started flopping around like a dead fish on land and was really struggling to breath as Drake kept pressing forward.

Drake sounded kind of desperate at this point, simply shouting over and over again,"DIE! DIE! DIE!" Drake's battle was going to end soon whether he liked it or not, as he would need to recharge his aura and moves before he could effectively fight this thing again. He was running on the last bit of fumes he had, as he was severely underleveled for this fight and only his insane stats were saving him.

Drake continued to scream at the snake to die until it stopped flopping around and layed still. Drake didn't let up for a second though and kept pressing even harder, trying to win, it had to happen now or never, he was almost out of energy! Every skill had been maxed out to get here, this was the final stretch!

3% aura energy left… 2.5%.. 2%.. 1.5%..1%.. Drake put all the rest of his energy and squeezed as hard as he could, until he heard an audible "schpewww!"

[System notification:Player has defeated Field Boss 'The Unpierceable']

[System notification: Player has gained exp! Player is now level 52!]

[System notification: Player Job has been updated to 'Beginner Adventurer' +5 Free Attribute Points]

Drake immediately upon hearing this notification released the snake and slumped down to the ground, exhausted out of his mind, not forgetting this time to stop his live recording. This was a secret quest after all and although people might see Heth in the background they won't know why until later or unless they knew about the quest, the latter of which was basically impossible.

Drake smiled as he looked at his new free five points, putting them all into his luck stat

[System notification: Player has invested all free points into luck, being the first to do so, gaining the secret easter egg and title, lucky boy! +3 to luck, congratulations player!]

[System notification: Player has unlocked ability to view luck stat]

Drake smiled as he looked at his luck stat, as this single stat is what gave top rankers the most pain inducing headache in the future and only he knew that literally the only way to get better luck stats was to use the free points you gain upon getting a better job. He told Loco this as well, but told him not to let anyone he doesn't trust know about it, as it is a major advantage. Luck came into play at level 100 and directly tied into a bloodline's effectiveness, which affected many other parts of your character.
