Ch 40- Bottleneck

"Hello Morgan. How are you doing?" i asked as i was supposed to hunt a ravaging dragon alongside him today. Morgan Like me is a Master Ranked monster Subjugater. We hunt

Together many times. Infact he is one those that i trust in Ardonia. He is also the one who introduced me to this world without scamming me at least.

"Yeah i am doing good but still could be better. Well to be fair I'm mostly worried about that you know." It seems he is worried about his rank up task.

As you can imagine rank up tasks are given to Monster Hunters who wish to rank up. It is usually fighting a difficult monster or just solving some problems in the city. It truly depends on your luck and rank.

My own rank up task was to kill an entire wolf pack led by an alpha. It was difficult even with my minions. In the end i triumphed over the alpha and now It's one of my loyal eternal minions.

We are currently walking across a forest path following the map given to us by the guild. The dragon we are hunting is apparently destroying innocent villages. Killing people and well just causing chaos. It's yet to mature thus only us Master ranks were sent out. Otherwise Grandmasters would've been sent out instead. After all its a dragon an apex predator.

I myself tried to take out a dragon once but I learned a valuable lesson from that day on. My elemental power was ineffective my other powers harmed it but the damage was quickly healed. I Didn't have enough mastery on my powers to take it on. Thus i quickly teleported out of there before i became fried dragon food.

Later i learned it was mature Red dragon and they are actually quite sturdy and powerfull than normal dragons.

But that was 4 months ago I've long since overcome that bottleneck. Plus the one we will fight is not mature dragon and It's not a red dragon. Otherwise we would for sure need a grandmaster even if it Isn't in mature stage.

Even with our speed it took us more than 3 hours to reach the area.Just goes to show how large the city of Ardonia is.

"Alright Zain, i will catch It's attention and tank its attacks while you chip out It's armor and damage it as much as you can." that was the battle plan we discussed simple and precise. However most of the times you don't really need a complicated plan for a battle.

Morgan took It's attention and the dragon it looked at him with hatred. The dragon had onyx scales and fiery red eyes. It was black a dragon.

It opened It's mouth fire pitch black as night ascended towards Morgan. Morgan however used his ability deftly. He dodged and responded with his force ability. The attack pushed back the dragon as well as rattled its brains. Force abilities like that are quite rare really It's different from telekinesis.

so I watched Morgan fight against the Dragon as I waited for the perfect moment to strike. After a few more moves between Morgan and the dragon i knew The perfect moment was here. I materialized my sword. Coated it with thick streams of abyssal energy. I jumped high with percision in my mind i cut the neck of the monster right as it was trying to bite through Morgans battle shield.

It was dead. The abyss energy also ate its inside and annihilated all its life force. I could feel the thick stream of power flowing through my body strengthen just at this moment which i knew that i advanced the final level.

"Whoo Good job there Zain, i honestly thought you were gonna wait more longer in which case i would've just brought it to you." Morgan joked.

"Nah you would become fried meat before you could bring it to me. I saw it was giving you quite a hard time. How will you lass your rank up task if yoy can't handle that much." i said mockingly

"Ohh you mean that..that was me being considerate you know. I thought i should give you this kill otherwise i might feel bad Since i had it all under CONTROL." rebuked Morgan.

Like that we went back after bickering on the road.

Finally Morgan went back since he needs to practice more for his upcoming task. I Was left all alone.

Now let's see what the long awaited benefits are and also what the newly awakened abilities i Get.

"Status" i say out loud excitingly.
