Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 28: Grand Duke Okullos

'Rather...'

I started to get a headache. Several situations had twisted together. It seemed like I wouldn't be able to easily solve this. I glanced towards Okullos and the dukes.

A quandary. The Cruel Commander really made everything become tangled up. The Cruel Commander and his corps who called me 'Master!' I somehow gained the qualifications to cut off the Cruel Commander's head here. I didn't know why he referred to me as the Emperor. But.

'Waking up.'

I caught those words. This guy obviously knew about the Heart of the Hell Monarch. The Heart of the Hell Monarch played an important role in raising my intelligence. Even so, he said that it had yet to fully awaken.

If awakened properly then my problem could be solved. The problem of how to get out of this crisis...

I immediately looked with Mind's Eye.

[Relative Comparison]
Randalph Brigsiel

Cruel Commander Maxium

Strength 91 Intelligence 86 Agility 85 Stamina 94 Magic 74 Potential (410+20/410)

It was considerable. He reached all his potential and even got 430 points. He had as much as 3 titles. And there were two epic grade skills.

'There is no growth potential so he is in an almost finished form.'

This was enough for a high class creature. A little stronger than the griffin or Gigantes.

The skeleton soldiers around were also usable. The regular soldiers were intermediate level while the knights reached advanced. Greed emerged.

Nevertheless, it was too early to have Okullos as an enemy. I was wearing a mask but...that wouldn't be able to fool a grand duke's keen eyes.

Then Cruel Commander Maxium said to me.

"Your Majesty. The new Maxium will help you by sweeping away the dirty demons and creatures. After a long time, I finally have the privilege of fighting on the battlefield with you."

His eyes shone. It was filled with expectations.

But my eyes were still looking at Okullos. He was slowly moving towards me with the dukes.

'I don't know what to do.'

Overall I was weak.

Maxium's army was decreased. His numbers were similar to the creatures. In qualitative aspects, I was slightly lacking. I had a chance of winning if I faced the grand duke and dukes. But one direct hit might reveal my identity.

However, my concerns were surprisingly useless.

"Randalph Brigsiel."

Okullos said to me.
