Lucifer's Descendant System-Novel

Chapter 266: Danger

(This chapter isn't edited yet)

"I'm feeling the danger... something much more intense than the trolls..." The team scout gave me a worried tone.

"Maybe it's the necromancer?" The bearded man asked as he swung the ax and held the shield to kill a skeleton that passed the trolls.

"No, the necromancer gave me a bit of a sense of danger before, but now that sense of danger has intensified even more... it's like a new monster has emerged." The scout responded with furrowed brows.

Noah looked at the scout with a curious expression covered by the armor's helmet. This scout had previously shown that he could feel the danger, something like a sixth sense that his blessing did. But it wasn't that sharp…maybe this stronghold really does have more dangerous things than the vampire he'd encountered in the castle earlier.

As the castle was being obscured by fog, as a form of illusion, the scout felt nothing, meaning this danger he was feeling was something they would definitely have to deal with.

Gripping the hilt of the new sword tighter, Noah stretched his wings and began to fly, trying to see something that might give some sign of what the danger was.

But still he couldn't see anything, probably meaning the danger was hidden somewhere, waiting for them.

'Shit, I hate dealing with this kind of monster. Dealing with brainless idiots is much simpler.' Noah thought as he looked at the trolls that kept killing the monsters and generating Exp for him.

Of the total 30 minutes, 5 minutes had already passed, which meant he only had 25 more minutes to control the monsters.

Following the direction the skeletons were coming from, the team realized that the necromancer was in a cave.

Prepared for a possible chaotic battle, the 15 blessed followed the two trolls that entered the cave's vanguard.

"These monsters are useful boy, how did you get them to obey you?" The bearded man asked the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to, but didn't have the courage to ask.

With that, the other 13 blessed paid attention to Noah's response, even the blessed Rank B.

"I found out that the trolls were being controlled by some kind of curse on their heart, so I just burned their heart and all the blood they had, with that I used a control spell to trick them into doing what I ordered. It's not something as powerful as mind control, but still useful in a situation like this. Honestly, it's the first time I've tried this spell since I received it a short time ago." Noah replied, feigning as much sincerity as he could.

He didn't want to say exactly what the skill did, but he could guide what the blessed imagined the skill to do, making him sound sincere, and at the same time not revealing everything he had.

This made the blessed ones marvel. From what Noah said, he was practically controlling the monsters like the Necromancers did, which as much as Noah tried to cover up with modesty, they knew how powerful it could be in a real battle.

"Can you also control these skeletons?" The young team leader asked curiously.

"I don't think so, as I need to burn the target's blood for this to work, and even if they had blood, it wouldn't be worth it, as using this skill consumes a lot of mana. Using it on monsters that weak wouldn't be worth it ." Noah responded, but putting aside the fact that he could turn other monsters' corpses into mana for himself.

"That's a shame, as having this army of skeletons would be helpful in avoiding damage...but still, having both trolls is good enough, way more than we could ever ask for." The leader responded with a polite smile.

The blessed Rank B was forced to raise Noah's rating even more, he was even angrier at his friend who had been bragging about Noah the night before, but didn't reveal anything about the boy's ability. If he knew everything it would be much easier, but since he didn't know anything, he was just feeling peeling an onion, with each petal he takes, another one pops into place for him to take, never getting to the core of it, but it's of course, it also made the experience much more fun.

"This one!" The scout screamed in alarm as he took two steps backward in fear of something.

Hearing the man's scream, the rest of the team was 100% on alert, prepared for a possible fight at any time.

*Baaaaaang... Baaaaaang... Baaaaaang... Baaaaaang...*

The rumblings of these monsters' footsteps were much louder than the rumblings of the trolls' footsteps, to the point that the trolls' footsteps felt like little toy drums, while the monster coming at them looked like an entire orchestra.

"Prepare yourselves!" The team leader yelled in concern.

*Baaaaaang... Baaaaaang... Baaaaaang... Baaaaaang...*

The steps grew louder with each moment, making the blessed ones even more tense.

But just as the monster was about to reveal itself, the blessed Rank B screamed, leaving the blessed even more scared. "Shit back off, this isn't something you can handle!"

"What?" The bearded man yelled back in confusion.

The blessed Rank B was quiet most of the time, just watching everyone perform, but now he had yelled something so strange?

"Don't ask, just obey. Hurry, get out of the room!" The team leader had a quick mind and ordered the blessed to leave in a hurry.

Hearing their leader scream, the blessed finally reacted and ran out of the cave.

Only one blessed did not come out completely.

Noah wanted to help at least by controlling the trolls to delay the monster that was coming, but that wasn't the real reason.

He had never seen a battle of blessed Rank Bs, so finally being able to see a battle like this would be very revealing for him, mainly to know what enemies he would have to deal with in the future.
