[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 545

The match starts, and I point my lightning daggers forward and wait for any sign of the applicant from the Phantom Region to activate their skill.

Every time this man disappeared in the previous matches, it was right after his opponent attacked.

I can feel his mana control, and it's nearing that of a level 700. I witnessed him defeat an opponent from the Vice Region stronger than himself in seconds.

I'm confident whatever skill he's using will have no effect on me; however, I do want to know how it works...

We both stand in silence, eyeing each other down for a full five seconds.

I even do an appraisal on his black sword, but it's nothing more than a 120% Strength and 110% Speed enchantment.

He stares forward at me from behind his black mask. All I can see are his dark eyes waiting for me to make a move.

I whisper under my breath.

"Alright, I'll humor you... Let me see that skill of yours..."

I run forward to mimic the other attacks I saw him defend earlier, and just before my dagger hits him, the same phenomenon occurs.

He disappears from my vision, and less than a tenth of a second later, appears right behind my back with his sword pushing forward to kill.

If I were to only use the perception of the hunter Ray Anderson, I'd be killed by this attack in an instant.

I didn't even see him move...

This is because he didn't move around me at all. Upon activation of his skill, this hunter really disappeared. He teleported from in front of me to right behind me, mere millimeters away from my heels.

While I could turn around and block this attack on the spot with the milliseconds I have left, there's a more believable move to make.

I power up my lightning magic and sprint forward using speed nearing that of a level 800-850 hunter.

My body crackles with lightning, and in my split-second decision, the hunter's black blade slices through the illusion of the cloak that I'm wearing.

The crowd of remaining applicants, and some of the guests from the seven regions, begin to chatter amongst themselves as I narrowly miss this attack and turn toward the black swordsman again.

I grin and point my daggers at him.

"Neat trick... But I think I'm a little too quick for you."

In all honesty, I think it is a useful ability. The only downside of it is that my reaction time is far faster than any average elite hunter. Even if he were to use that skill on a hunter with the mana control and speed I just showed, it's doubtful they could have reacted in time. That is, unless they were double ranked up or have some speed based ranked up buff.

I hear a grunt come from the man, as he is probably thinking the same thing.

It's far more clear how he defeated those earlier applicants with such ease now.

I take a step forward and get ready for our second exchange.

This time, I send long-range lightning crescents his way, not wanting to do the same thing twice.

Every time the yellow static attacks get close, the man disappears and reappears about a meter away, narrowly missing getting sliced in two.

After I send out about half a dozen crescents and watch him dodge them all, I figure out how his skill works.
