Chereads / Dragon Demon Lord / Chapter 22 - New Skill, Taunt

Chapter 22 - New Skill, Taunt

Right after Sol spoke, in an instant, the spider dashed at him and grabbed him.

"Shit, that was fast!"

Using its webs, it began to wrap Sol's body up. Hurriedly, using the torch, Sol tried to burn the webs with it, but to no avail.

'What? Fire doesn't work??'

It was a Platinum-Rank webs, so it won't burn easily as the webs were as hard as steel.

During this time, before the webs fully covered his entire body, Sol quickly spat his saliva on the spider's face, hoping that the poison in his saliva would kill it. Unfortunately, the spider was immune to poison, thus it was futile.

'Welp, I guess it's time for plan B.'

Plan B is basically to enter the spider's body and kill it from the inside. However, the issue right now was that the spider wasn't hungry, so it didn't eat Sol right away as it was postponing it for later.

"Cool, so you're not going to eat me now, huh?"

Inside the sticky webs, Sol could barely move an inch and after trying multiple times, he gave up. As of right now, he could only wait patiently for the spider to get hungry and eat him.

'There's no rush, I might as well take a short nap while waiting.'

A few hours later…

The Spider became hungry again.

"Finally! Hahaha! That's right! Come and eat me!"

BITE!!!

BITE!!!

BITE!!!

No matter what it did, it was unable to tear Sol's body apart. During this moment, the spider was confused as to why Sol's body felt so hard like diamond.

"Don't stop, keep doing it," Sol said, 'Hmm, this isn't too bad, I kinda like the way this spider is biting my head as it feels like a head massage.'

Unable to chew Sol's body, the spider decided to swallow Sol as a whole instead.

With this, Sol finally entered the spider's stomach and once inside, Sol laughed sinisterly.

"Haha! You're dead now!"

While inside the spider's stomach, Sol discovered there were a bunch of human skeletons here.

'So I wasn't the first human that this spider ate, huh?'

Besides human bones, there were also other stuff like weapons, swords, jewelry, armors and many more around here.

"This is almost like a treasure room at this point."

As Sol explored around, he found a mysterious red glowing book that piqued his interest. For some reason, this book seemed like it was in good condition despite getting exposed by the spider's stomach acid.

Out of curiosity, Sol touched the red book, and the moment he did that:

Ding!

[Bonus Reward: You have discovered a legendary skill book!]

'What? A legendary skill book?'

[Would you like to learn this skill book?]

'Yes.'

[Congratulations! You have learned a total of 5 skills, however, you may only choose one among the 5 skills you have learned.]

[Here are the list of 5 skills that is available for you to choose, please pick one that you would like to learn]:

1. Taunt - Enemies that are taunt will be forced to attack you for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds)

2. Silence - A silenced enemy cannot cast any of their abilities for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds)

3. Stun - Stun your enemies for 3 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds)

4. Cripple - Reduce enemies movement & attack speed by 50% for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds)

5. Blind - Blind your enemies for 3 seconds. (Cooldown: 15 seconds)

'So basically these are all crowd control skills? Looking at it, all 5 skills seem pretty good, but unfortunately I can only select one… Looks like I have to think thoroughly first before making my decision.'

After giving some time thinking about it, he finally made up his mind.

'Taunt. Yea, let's go with this for now. This way I could kill my enemies by exhausting them to death since they are forced to attack me no matter what. Hehe, this is going to be fun, I can't wait to try it out.'

[Congratulations! The skill "Taunt" has been learned.]

"Alright, let's get out of here."

With this, holding a sword with his right hand, he began slashing and thrusting the spider's stomach. And each time when he slashed or thrusted, the spider would feel extremely irritated or uncomfortable.

After a while, the spider couldn't take it anymore and decided to forcefully vomit Sol out, but failed.

"Hmm, what's going on? Is it trying to vomit me out? Unfortunately, I can't let that happen yet until I kill it first."

15 minutes later…

[You have slain the Hairy Spider King!]

[Side Quest completed!]

Ding!

[You have received one Red Crystal!]

"Looks like it's finally dead."

With this, Sol exited the spider's stomach by crawling his way out through the spider's mouth.

Just when Sol thought it was finally over, suddenly, he was surrounded by at least 50+ Baby Hairy Spiders. It seemed the Baby Spiders were furious to find out that their mother had died.

'I thought it's over, but there seems to be more… Wait a minute, this might actually be a good opportunity to test out my new skill.'

A few hours later…

All the Silver-Rank Baby Spiders were finally dead.

After the long fight, Sol's body was dirtied as it was filled with spiders' blood, 'I might have to take a bath after this as my body stinks like hell.'

Just like that, Sol exited the secret dungeon and went to a nearby lake outside to clean himself. Good thing there was a lake nearby this village.

After Sol was done washing himself, he headed back to the village and slept for the rest of the night.

The next morning…

Sol left the village and continued his journey to Azurion City again.

A few hours later, the village Sol previously left, Hebelion and his men arrived.

"Master! Look here! I think you might want to see this."

They found the secret dungeon that Sol raided yesterday.

"A secret dungeon?" Hebelion was surprised as he didn't expect a secret dungeon would appear here.

Out of curiosity, Hebelion's group decided to explore the secret dungeon.

Eventually, at the underground arena where Sol killed the Hairy Spider King, Hebelion's group arrived.

"Damn, what the hell is this mess? Was this all done by a single person?" One of Hebelion's men was curious.

'Just what in the world happened here?' Hebelion thought.

By now, they had already guessed that someone raided this secret dungeon not too long ago.

Next, after they were done inspecting the secret dungeon, they then left the dungeon and headed outside. From there, they continued to inspect the whole village and finally, they found something, and it was Sol's footprints.

"Master! Come and take a look at this!" One of Hebelion's men said.

"These footprints… It seems like it's the same person who raided the secret dungeon."

***

On a beautiful day, walking in the forest, Sol was enjoying the scenery around him while walking leisurely with both hands behind his head.

'What a lucky day, I managed to obtain one red crystal and even a bonus taunt skill.'

During this time, a surprised notification from his system appeared:

[System Warning! You have three months to complete the main quest before the next Tutorial starts!]

'The next tutorial? Is this perhaps what David was telling me about when players first arrived in this world?'

[Warning! - Failing to complete the main quest would mean you are unable to complete the Game of Trigod. In short, you would not be able to return to Earth. Furthermore, failing the main quest would also cost all side-quests and System Shop to be removed permanently.]

'Wait… if I can't get access to the System Shop, that would mean I would never be able to get my full power back, right?… And of course… I can't return to Earth either. Shit… this isn't looking too good.'

It was at this moment, Sol realized he had to be serious and stop fooling around or else he might really fail to complete the main quest.

"Fuck it! Looks like I can't relax after all!!"

With that said, instead of walking around leisurely, he began sprinting at maximum speed. Of course, due to the debuff, even running at maximum speed was pretty slow, only at about 30 kilometers per hour.

One month later…

In a small town called "Maple Town," Sol arrived here and he was greeted by a bunch of demon soldiers that lived in this town.

During this moment, Sol realized the poison inside his body had already expired; meaning he may need to eat poisonous monsters again to refill the poison inside his body. However, there was no need to do that since he could use his Taunt skill to kill his enemies by exhausting them to death.

The best part about his taunt skill is that no one can run away from him, if they did, he just needs to taunt them and they will come charging at him immediately.
