RAIDS ONLINE: RAGNAROK BEAST

Chapter 23: Lucent's Training Arc - Weak's Determination



...ROOAAARRRRR!!!...

[Rank D Ragnarok Beast, Codename - Shadow Hyena.]

"Show me your determination to make Selene happy, Lucent!"

"I know!... Charge! x Howl! - Moonlight!..."

Unlike Luel's Howl Skill, which summons a moonlight that rays upon him to give him increased vitality and heal his injuries, the Moonlight Skill has the additional effect of revealing any Ragnarok Beasts hiding using their stealth ability, allowing Luel to identify which is the real body among the dozen illusion of Shadow Hyenas.

Luel's surroundings have been illuminated with moonlight rays, and the true body of Shadow Hyena has been revealed, or rather, the true bodies of Shadow Hyenas are finally confirmed.

"You could at least tell me that there were two of them back then, SILVERPUP!"

"Ehh?... Did I not?..."

Luel screamed in frustration at the fact that SilverPup kept it a secret that he was fighting two Rank D Ragnarok Beasts with his first fight against the Shadow Hyena, while SilverPup, who was sitting on top of a boulder away from Luel, tried to play innocent with her cute acting which only looks kind of dumb for Luel.

Luel's suspicion of SilverPup keeping a secret arises when he tries to fight the Rank D Ragnarok Beast Shadow Hyena using the Training System at Moon Server. At that time, only six Shadow Hyenas appear to challenge him, one is the true body, and the other five are the illusion.

It means that Luel managed to defeat the first Shadow Hyena during his first fight against them while the second Shadow Hyena attacked behind and killed him.

"At least admit that I'm not a total noob!"

"You're a total noob, Lucent! Do you think Ragnarok Beasts always fight fair and square? They don't give a faqing care! Never! You better focus on the fight, Lucent! Unless you don't want to become Selene's headless knight in shining armor!"

With SilverPup's warning, Luel turns his attention back to the two Shadow Hyenas.

Before the effect of the Moonlight Skill disappeared along with the ray of moonlight illuminating his surroundings, Luel made his next move against the two Shadow Hyenas.

While the Moonlight Skill is in effect, another Orion Class Skill can be activated, which can give Luel the same stealth ability as the Shadow Hyena.

"Moon Shadow!..."

With the activation of Moon Shadow Skill, the moonlight ray illuminating the surroundings disappears along with Luel, like the moon disappearing behind the dark clouds.

The two Shadow Hyenas weren't able to respond to the sudden disappearance of their opponent, and before they could react or move from where they were standing, Luel appeared behind one of them with his next skill already at hand.

"Orion's Fangs!.."

Luel decapitated one of the Shadow Hyenas, biting its neck with his Devour Orion's Fangs Skill and devouring the dark aura that came out of its headless body.

"How does it feel to lose your head, bastard?!"

"Sheesh... Someone holding a grudge, aren't we, Lucent?"

"Of course, I am!"

"Anyway!... There's still another one. Finish it off so we could Raid more Rank D Ragnarok Beast."

"Charge!..."

To defeat the remaining Shadow Hyena, Luel activates his Charge Skill.

It would be much easier to finish the fight if Luel used the same combined skills as he did earlier. However, due to his low current Link Force which is at 10 percent, the number of times he could use his combined skill is only limited to two.

Luel already used one with the Moonlight Skill and the other one with the Moon Shadow Skill. It will take three minutes before the cooldown to reset. But that doesn't mean Luel is out of tricks already.

...ROOAAARRRRR!...

The Rank D Ragnarok Beast activates its illusion skill, summoning five Shadow Hyena illusions to hide itself from its opponent and charge at the same time to confuse Luel as to which one is the real body. However, Luel has already learned how to counter the Shadow Hyena's trick with a simple method.

"If there's only one Shadow Hyena, then this trick will do!"

As Luel dashed towards the Shadow Hyenas, he made a sudden stop and jumped sideways to his right side. Upon landing on the ground, he then continued his charge.

The Shadow Hyenas also stop in response to Luel's move. But before they could change their direction, while they were still in one single line, Luel was already charging to crash himself into as many Shadow Hyenas as he could get.

Luel crashed into four Shadow Hyenas and lucky collided with the real body as his charge attack destroy the other three illusions.

As Luel stumbles into the ground together with the Rank D Ragnarok Beast, the Shadow Hyena tries to activate its illusion skill to escape from Luel, but Luel immediately jumps to wrestle the Shadow Hyena and strangle its neck from behind.

"Go ahead and piss me off!

...ROOAA...

"I could choke the life out of you without..."

"Hey!... Beware of copyright, Lucent!"

Since the Shadow Hyena is a Rank D Ragnarok Beast, it is still much stronger physically than Luel who only has 10 percent Link Force currently. It tries to throw Luel off by rolling and crushing him on the ground, but what Luel is left to do is activate one of his basic skills so he can have enough strength to snap the Shadow Hyena's nape with both of his hands.

"Orion's Claws!..."

...SNAP!...

A loud cracking sound echoes from the neck of the Shadow Hyena as Luel snaps its neck and ends the fight.

...clap!...clap!...clap!...

"Congratulations, Lucent... You can finally take down a Rank D Ragnarok Beast even with just 10 percent Link Force. That's an accomplishment a noob player can't do."

While Luel is devouring the dark aura coming out of the Shadow Hyena with his Devour Skill, SilverPup makes her approach, giving Luel applause along with some compliments.

"Let's go, Lucent!... We're Raiding your next Rank D Ragnarok Beast!"

"At least let me take a rest..."

"Hey!... How could you say something like that when Selene is waiting, believing in that promise of yours, Lucent."

"That's not gonna go any time soon, isn't it?"

"Nope, it's not!"
