The Dark King – Chapter 330
Dudian was overjoyed at sight. He was anxious to load a shark spear and use it once more. However he restrained himself. If he continued to launch then the barrel would most likely burst.
Nicholas’s eyes were full of shock as he overlooked the splitter that was running away. He didn’t expect that even such a terrible monster would in an awkward situation in front of this teenager. Although he didn’t have much knowledge about the monster but he knew that the it was an unusual monster. Otherwise a person like Dudian who was close to senior hunting in terms of physique would not prepare large number of methods and select such a terrain to attack the monster.
The most that made him shocked was the weapon assembled. The destructive power of the giant spears were simply scare. He couldn’t think how the barbarians would dare to invade if they had such weapons on the forts.
In addition to the weapons the most he felt threatened by was Dudian himself. Nicholas had never met such a terrifying person. Not to mention that the latter looked like a tender young boy. The last shark spear which Dudian had loaded and shot had insidious prejudgment and calculation involved in it.
His perception of Dudian had change in this period of short ten seconds. Before he thought that Dudian was more mature in comparison to the people of his age. He was a talented youth who was able to become a senior architect. Nicholas thought of him as a rare character. But at the moment he thought of Dudian was a devil covered in human skin. The kid was cold, calculating and had the extraordinary wisdom to forge terrifying weapons. Nicholas thought that only devil could be like him. Overlooking everything!
Nicholas once again regretted offending such a monster by prematurely exposing his ambitions. At the moment he was speechless as he looked at the hideous monster that was thousands of meters away. Its body was wrapped in chain as it struggled to move.
“Give me the bow.” Dudian’s voice pulled Nicholas back to reality.
Nicholas had goose bumps the moment he heard Dudian’s words. He reacted on instinct as he looked for Dudian’s bow and arrows. He picked them up and gave them to Dudian.
Dudian grabbed the bow and arrows but didn’t look at Nicholas. His eyes were firmly locked on splitter who was desperately struggling. Finally it was able to cut off one of the chains and restore back its mobility. It quickly rushed forward as its speed was better than the past.
Dudian’s eyes narrowed as he held onto the bow and took a step forward. He stood on the edge of the giant wall as he faced the cold wind that blew against his clothing.
Nicholas’s face turned white as he saw Dudian’s bold move. He was aware that they were at least a kilometer higher than the ground and the wind was fierce. A bit of carelessness would end in a devastating situation.
Dudian was not nervous as he slowly opened his arms. He was holding the bow in one hand. It looked like he was embracing the wind.
Dudian’s body slowly leaned forward and he suddenly jumped!
Whoosh!
Dudian’s body shot down.
Nicholas jumped out in fear as he would never think that Dudian would be so short sighted and make a suicide at this point.
He rushed to the edge of the giant wall as he looked up and down.
Nicholas saw Dudian’s body was flying down. The kids head was down while he feet were facing the sky.
Nicholas mind went blank. Why would he make a suicide now? He couldn’t figure out but the scene in front of his eyes was the truth.
In about after 100 meters of free fall suddenly a semi-circular fabric appeared in Dudian’s armpits. His speed was greatly reduced as he rapidly glided away. The people from the old era would find the scene extremely familiar. It was the equipment from the extreme sports – gliding. At the moment Dudian was using it to hunt the monster.
Nicholas’s eyeballs almost protruded and popped out. He was stunned at sight. A flying person!
Whoosh!
There was tension in Dudian’s heart as it was his first test flight and the first time he applied this method in actual combat. However he was against a legendary monster which was deemed to be level 68.
At the moment the wind whistled in his ears. His arm slightly shook as he adjusted the gliding angle. After sliding through for two or three hundred meters he got used to the sense of the wind. Dudian was able to grasp more about controlling the gliding process. The wilderness and soil at the bottom was rapidly overtaken. The blood boiled as Dudian’s hormones soared in excitement and adrenaline.
As he was about five hundred meters above the ground Dudian tried to adjust the angle to follow the splitter.
Although the speed of gliding was fast but running speed of the splitter was much faster. Previously he was looking at it from the giant wall so he didn’t have close visual contact to see how fast it moves. But the closer he got the better he saw the speed of the splitter. Moreover this was its injured state!
Boom!
The splitter moved forward. Along the way its body chopped large dents on the ground. The distance between it and Dudian quickly opened. At the moment when Dudian was about two hundred meters above the ground he could only see splitter as a small black spot which was running away. It was about to disappear from his sight.
Dudian refused to glide as used his hand to pull the string on his backpack. The backpack was pumped open as a fluffy clothing burst out. It was parachute.
Dudian had planned this as a life insurance while climbing the giant wall.
Dudian slowly descended to the ground after the parachute opened. He rolled after he landed and quickly unlocked the backpack. He held onto the bow as he looked at the direction the splitter had run.
The real hunting was starting now!
It also meant that he was now risking his own life.
Thanks!
Wow… Just wooooow…
Thanks MadSnail =)
The splitter must die. Thanks for the chapter~!
This was actually cool. Hope it doesn’t get derailed like all of his previous hunting trips.
You can glide down at 200km/h to 300km/h and splitter is running faster while being seriously injured? What?!!! Then it’s normal speed is like over 400km/h? WTF?! That is a bit unbelievable speed to be reached by something that uses insect legs instead of wheels… The legs would have to be moved so fast you probably would only see a blur and it would make so much noise that it would probably sound like a very high volume chainsaw… Even if it’s a monster, such speeds is just a bit too unbelievable… What’s going to be next? A monster that can break the sound barrier while running? Sigh….
A car can reach 200km/h, because we have decade of research in that field, it’s his first attempt. And even if we consider he has the knowledge thanks to his computer, he would still do something far behind what we can do because first, he don’t have any gliding experience at all, and you don’t learn to drive a car at 200km/h, and second, he don’t have access to the proper materials, it’s already a miracle they have plastic, don’t expect them to have the specific type of plastic used in gliding. Also the splitter is running in a stray line compared to the ground, while Dean goes diagonally, so if they both have a speed of 200km/h the splitter would still run faster.
What are you even talking about… For Dudian to lose sight of the splitter at while gliding, which is a 30m high HUGE monster at the horizon while at a higher point of view, it would need to be going atleast more than double the speed Dudian is doing at air or maybe triple… There is nothing to block sight of such a big monster it can’t just hide it’s ass so it would be visible till it passes horizon… And yes Dudian only has about 30 seconds at air since he jumped from 1000 meters high and started gliding at 900 meters. That doesn’t give him much gliding time at all! Also a wingsuit speed has a lower limit at stable flight which is about 150 km/h if there is no updraft while upper limit being 360km/h, so you can’t not go slower or you will lose altitude too fast. Can you slow yourself down momentarily to 60km/h? YES… But you can’t keep such a slow speed and you will lose your glide the moment you do so. So you can’t not go slower than a specific speed with a wingsuit… This is not a car we are talking about it can’t stop… With Dudian pushing his speed he must have atleast been going over 200km/h even if he has inferrior quality material. Tho i doubt the textile quality would effect the speed too much since it either rips or not. There is no middle point. Only the design would effect the speed which Dudian must have an even better aerodynamic futuristic design than todays wingsuits thanks to his chip and him being from future. Tho how would he find materials that can withstand that designs loads i have no idea, you would have to ask the author… But since it didn’t rip he must have somehow found something to substitute to be used in the design…
You know the manga terra formars ? its interesting to read and imagine how insect would be if they were our size, not to even mention 30meter tall lol
that manga is just…. nonsense (* from a real world view point, first consider if you enlarge an insect won’t its metabolism be more and hence the need for food, secondly a larger brain need not necessarily equal to more intelligence and no even if cockroaches do evolve it would not turn into humanoid shapes unless artificially breed…… nvm ignore me)
Ch. 327 “..equipment moved 5 km from the entrance…”
Ch. 328 “In less than 30 seconds the splitter was below the location of Dudian”
So it’s max speed is around 5km/30s=600 km/h.
Also spear speed doesn’t make any sense. Chapter 329 ” … in less than 2 seconds reached 500m… bullet speed 400m/s… at the moment spear has reached that speed…”
Avg speed 250m/s (2s to travel 500m) yet currently moving at 400m/s which gives g=150 m/s^2. I guess he is living on a small star.
And don’t even get me started on the gold.
Ch. 190 “Afterward, he paid her four silver coins which were worth an ordinary resident’s monthly salary.”
So roughly 50 silver/year=0.5 gold/year of income. And he wants millions for his inventions. So he could potentially hire millions of people to work for him.
Ch. 182 “I should sell one thousand of them for twenty silver coins..”
1000 matches = 20 silver coins
So avg monthly salary of an ordinary resident is worth 200 matches. You need 2 months worth of salary in order to afford roughly 1 match/day for a whole year.
It’s too big of a spread for such a small population.

So avg monthly salary of an ordinary resident is worth 200 matches. You need 2 months worth of salary in order to afford roughly 1 match/day for a whole year.
