Primordial Chaos Dragon Tower: Harem System

Chapter 512: Clash With The Hunter (1)

Kent clashed with the Hunter, distancing her from the rest of the battles.

The moment he left, his team went into battle too. Kaizo was the first to lunge forward, taking on one of the fourteen abominations.

The rest also picked their opponents, with Zareth alone taking on two. The enemy outnumbered them, so he had to take on two in order to prevent them from going back to their master.

Kent was already going against odds that heavy, so adding more was simply too much.

Kazarak, the lion-headed man-beast who summoned the five Hellhounds, also took on two Core Formation enemies. He and one Hellhound were on one, while the other four Hellhounds were on the other beast.

The rest was up to Kentʼs ability to handle the Hunter before they could no longer hold them back.

But asking that was just underestimating Kent. So far, he had pushed the Hunter back with his punches, showing her he wasnʼt a mere Root Ascension expert.

He had seriously underestimated his own strength. The punches he was landing on the Hunter werenʼt something any of the Core Formation experts he had fought would have been able to handle.

Whenever he punched using his full strength, the space seemed to crack, threatening to open the void. However, Kent wasnʼt thinking about that, considering every single punch was him testing how much he had grown.

”Is it just me, or are you just weak and canʼt handle my punches?” Kent paused, looking at the Hunter, who had been punched back for the umpteenth time.

”Shut up.”

Instead of answering, the Hunter waved her staff, and a powerful beam of dark energy shot from it, speeding toward Kent.

Kent was on the move, evading the dark beam. He appeared behind the Hunter and kicked forward, trying to land a powerful kick on her neck. However, the Hunter blocked with her arm and swung her staff.

Kent blinked away, avoiding the swing before landing a punch on her face, only to be blocked again. He distanced himself once more, appearing several meters from her.

”I donʼt know why you think you can kill me or make a big deal out of your presence, but tell me this: how did you manage to kill thousands without getting caught?

You are weak, which is normal considering youʼre a necromancer. But just where is your strength coming from?”

Kent asked, not understanding something. The Hunter he was facing now wasnʼt much. He was pushing her back, and to be frank with himself, he was starting to think that perhaps something was wrong.

However, while it would have been great to get the answer the simple way, which means by hearing it from the Hunter, she wasnʼt about to speak.

Instead, she waved her staff, conjuring thousands of dark shards to appear in the air and shoot at Kent, who started moving between the attacks.

The more he moved, the more and faster the shards appeared and rained down on him. However, regardless of how fast the shards were coming, Kent was weaving his way through them like it was the easiest thing to do.

His speed and strength had already become monstrous, so there was no way he would struggle against such an attack.

Being a necromancer, the Hunter didnʼt pose much of a threat. But that didnʼt mean Kent underestimated her.

Eventually, he had had enough and retrieved his sword.

The moment the sword entered his grip, his energy exploded, pushing the Hunter back. This caused her to narrow her gaze at the sword in Kentʼs hand.

”No need to look shocked; Iʼm richer than you,” Kent said, taking a swing.

The Hunter, who recognized the swordʼs value in Kentʼs hand, distanced herself from him and raised a defense to block the swordʼs attack.

The sword arc landed on her defense, creating a crack in it.

However, Kent didnʼt waste time as he unleashed the Lunar Eclipse Slash, sending a powerful crescent-shaped sword arc at the Hunter.

The moment the attack landed on her defense, it shattered, causing her to cough blood as a powerful shockwave blew her back.

Kent didnʼt let her rest as he unleashed another powerful sword slash, sending her flying back even farther. Noticing she wasnʼt putting up much resistance against the attacks, he continued bombarding her without pause.

Meanwhile, his team was also engaged in fierce combat with the fourteen abominations.

All sides of the battle were chaotic—perhaps even more chaotic than the clash between Kent and the Hunter.

Not that it was unexpected. The Hunter was a necromancer, meaning combat was the last thing she specialized in. So the fact that she had managed to hold Kent back this long was a miracle in itself.

The fourteen abominations, however, were made for combat, and that was evident in how they were facing Kentʼs team. Still, they didnʼt have the upper hand in the fight.

Kentʼs side was also monstrous, and as such, they were handling themselves quite well. Even Kaizo, who was by far the weakest, managed to hold back the Core Formation expert he was engaged in combat with.

Kaizo gritted his teeth as he blocked another strike. The Core Formation abomination towered over him, but Kaizo didnʼt back down.

His movements were slower, but he stayed in the fight, dodging when he could and countering when he must.

The sounds of battle rang out everywhere—swords clashing, spells crackling, roars shaking the air. The ground was scarred, and the air was thick with smoke and blood.

Meanwhile, Kent remained focused.

He swung his sword again, the arc of energy smashing into the Hunterʼs defenses. Her body was thrown back, crashing into a jagged rock. She staggered to her feet, blood dripping from her lips.

Kent didnʼt know why, but despite pushing the hunter back, he wasnʼt happy about that. It was like something else was at play, and he needed to be extra careful.

The Hunter dropped to her knee, blood dripping from the corner of his lips...

”You canʼt win, so you might as well tell me your deal with the Hand and perhaps their location,” Kent said flatly, walking toward her.

The Hunter didnʼt answer. Her eyes narrowed. Her grip tightened on her staff.

She raised it slowly, dark energy swirling around her. She locked her gaze on Kent as if looking into his soul.

Suddenly, the sky turned pale. The ground trembled. Kent came to a stop, sensing the swift in the air. A sense of dread washed over him, causing him to look back.

Somewhere atop where his team and the abominations were fighting, A loud crack appeared in the air, echoing across the battlefield.

Then came the roar—deep, hollow, and chilling.

Bones clawed their way through the crack.

A massive skeletal form appeared, its wings wide and empty of flesh. Its eyes glowed with sickly green fire, and its jaw opened in a silent growl.

Kent felt something lock onto his body when the bone head appeared.

He turned his gaze from the Bone Dragon back to the Hunter, who was now forming a seal with both hands. A glowing spell diagram appeared beneath her feet, pulsing with eerie light.

”Soul Sacrifice,” Kent muttered at first, but then his eyes widened as realization struck him.

”No... Soul Swap. Youʼre not the necromancer, are you? Youʼre also an undead.”

Kent spread his senses outward, searching. But he found nothing-no presence, no heartbeat, no soul.

He took in a sharp, cold breath.

”So what if youʼre a Bone Dragon... Youʼre just a cheap copy anyway.”

With that, Kent lunged toward the Bone Dragon. He knew he had to be extra careful now.

The Hunter was becoming more mysterious by the second. Even Kentʼs Enchanted Eyes couldnʼt read her anymore.
