Chapter 269: 269
Draco spawned in a valley with no trees, just green grass, and a gentle breeze . It was sunny and the golden rays made his skin feel vibrant on contact .
Such a pleasant place shouldn't possibly hold the Abyssal Trove, yet the large fort standing before Draco told otherwise . What caused him to be at a loss for words was the fact that it was painted pink and had cute hearts all over .
The gate of the fort slowly opened with a wave of fairies surrounding Draco with excitement and joy . They were all females, being around the size of Draco's thumb .
Each of their trails came in different colors, some being blue, some pink, some red . The only missing color was black… which was quite predictable .
Before Draco could ask one of them what the hell was going on, he heard a continuous patter of steps coming his way . He tore his eyes away from the fairies to glance upon . . . a troupe of cute, walking teddy bears .
All of them were the type that a little girl would love . This marching troupe played a band theme as they circled around Draco three times before making a pathway for him, standing equidistant from each other on either side of the way .
The fairies pulled and tugged at Draco for him to enter, but he made sure to scan the place with the Eyes of Caelo as well as his Control first . Sensing that there were no threats in the vicinity, he entered the fort amidst the fanfare .
The inside made him even more speechless . There were many walking dollies that pranced about daintily, as if they were in an 80's sitcom . When they saw Draco, they giggled and winked .
Draco walked through the courtyard of the fort and eventually reached the keep itself, having the door opened for him majestically by two female dolls dressed as maids .
Upon entry, he scanned the interior of the fort and found that there was nothing of note here . No items, money or other goodies were present, but he did see something that topped off the icing on the cake .
Sitting in a throne at the center of the main hall of the fort was a unicorn, its posture like that of a biped despite being a quadrupedal being . He had a look of interest on his face as he gazed at Draco .
"So, after how many thousands of millennia have passed, there is finally someone who managed to visit the Abyssal Trove . Good, good . " The Unicorn stated in a deep bass voice, which conflicted with his cartoonish and cute design .
Draco wondered if one of his prepared dishes had possibly included some kind of drug that happened to kick in just as he entered this quest . He frankly felt like someone had sent him into the dreamworld of a little girl . . .
"Where exactly is the Trove?" Draco asked calmly .
The Unicorn waved his hands . "Oh, don't worry, you'll be brought there soon enough . But before that, I have spent so long here without any company so I wish to spar for a bit . Surely you don't mind?"
"Sure . Please guide me, good sir . " Draco agreed humbly .
The Unicorn nodded in approval, clearly pleased with Draco's humility . "Truly an exemplary lad . Then, let's begin!"
As soon as the Unicorn finished speaking, it disappeared from his throne, shocking Draco greatly . He then drew both his swords and executed Sword Skill 147: Whirlwind .
This was a semi-defensive skill where Draco swung both blades in a circular fashion, using the force to spin himself in circles . It was very similar to Boyd's skill, Colossus, and it made Draco's immediate vicinity somewhat impassable .
There was a clang as his technique was halted, as Dragorugio had clashed with one of the Unicorn's hooves . The hoof itself wasn't damaged in the least . In fact, it looked to possess the same solidity and sturdiness as an actual weapon .
This fact was further confirmed for Draco as the Unicorns other front hoof shot forward like a snake, so quickly that his eyes couldn't follow . He was struck in the chest and knocked back a few steps .
-3,000!
The Unicorn's eyes widened when he saw how little damage he dealt to Draco with his casual attack, while Draco's eyes widened at how much a casual attack from the fellow had been able to harm him .
He was wearing the Dragorugio armor for Christ's sakes . Even a casual swipe from Qiong Qi, who was a suppressed Rank 7 entity, had done nothing to him back then .
Draco frowned and used his Sword Skill 97: Forceps . Dragorugio came in an uppercut strike while Fragarach came from an overhead one, both at the same but opposing angle .
If one looked at Draco from the side, he would look like a pair of scissors snipping on something, with his body acting as the pivot . The Unicorn saw this technique and was pleased .
He used both hooves to clash with the blades, stopping their advance with relative ease . Draco smiled wickedly though, activating his Horned Demon true body .
His strength took a sudden unexpected jump, and the Unicorn was caught off guard . Both swords closed in on him, cutting deep wounds into his body as he stepped back to avoid getting bisected .
White blood leaked from his wounds, and he seemed to find it hard to believe that he could actually get wounded . Just as Draco was about to continue, he was hit with an overwhelming hunger that overtook his reason .
When he turned to the source, he saw that it was the fallen and still dripping Unicorn's blood that called out his very soul like the music of a siren . Draco forgot about the battle and absorbed all the blood he could get .
"HOOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!!" Draco cried out in ecstasy as the blood entered his body and got consumed . Words could not describe the feeling of pleasure that coursed through his very blood as his Horned Demon Inheritance converted this blood into nourishment .
