The Rise Of A Porter Chapter 88
Advertisement
Arnold raised his arms to protect himself from the flames, he never believed his hands would be able to stop the flames but his actions were totally based on instinct and reflex. He knew he messed up. BIG TIME. When he saw the sea of flames coming towards him.
Arnold expect he'll get burnt or at the very least, he'll feel some of pain, but instead he just felt... warm, as if he was sitting next to a fireplace.
'That's weird.' Arnold thought and slowly opened his eyes and witnessed that a transparent and colourless jelly like substance had completely covered his body. This layer of mysterious substance was protecting him, but sadly this wasn't the case for his clothes that got vaporised the moment the flames touched them. Before Arnold could think what was going on, a text appeared on his interface.
___
passive skill : [Devil's Advocate] has been activated.
Your immune to true damage causing abilities.
You're immune to Vritra's [HELLFIRE] attack.
___
"LOOKS LIKE, I'M A LUCKY SON OF A GUN, AFTER ALL!!!" Arnold screamed his lungs out and then his eyes fell on his body, "...my clothes..."
Arnold was completely naked in front of the fire breathing Wyvern. Talk about disrespecting your opponent! When the Wyvern finally stopped spewing fire, even it looked confused.
No one would ever be able know why the Wyvern was confused. Maybe it was confused after seeing that Arnold was unscathed from its attack or maybe it was confused after seeing Arnold's own 'baby Wyvern'?
But for whatever reason, the Wyvern was pissed and it was ready to vent its anger out on Arnold. After letting out a high pitched roar, the Wyvern turned around to confront Arnold, who was still surrounded with the jelly-like substance.

Vritra¹ is about to use [HELLFIRE] lvl 9.
___
Arnold was once again surrounded in flames but the end result remained the same. Vritra's hellfire attack was similar to Arnold's arcane flames ability and was simply it's evolved form. Hellfire was superior to arcane flames in every factor, the only problem was that the Wyvern's skill had evolved to become true to its name - Hellfire, a fire that could devour anything. Essentially it meant that the Hellfire could only cause true damage... something Arnold had immunity to.
The Wyvern, no matter how hard it tried, could not cause Arnold any harm using its most lethal and effective skill. Seeing it's attacks fail again and again, the Wyvern finally gave up on using fire attacks and went back to attack Arnold using it's claws and tail. But to the Wyvern's surprise, even though it's attacks were hitting their intended target, Arnold wasn't getting hurt by the attacks at all! It was because...
___
Passive skill : [WILL OF EARTH] has been activated!
The user HP is below 20%.
The user has entered the state for a duration of 20 second.
___
The Wyvern looked at Arnold in confusion while Arnold burst into laughter. He finally figured out why his some of his abilities were still functioning.
Although the system had informed him that all of his abilities had been sealed, in reality only his 'active' abilities had been sealed while his 'passive' abilities were still active and working as usual.
"It's been quite a while since the last time [Will Of Earth] had activated." Arnold smiled, "Twenty seconds of immunity against the Wyvern's attacks? I'll take it."
Arnold hurriedly grabbed the vindicator and used his ice elemental abilities to quickly refill the empty magazine of the gun.
"You had thirty seconds to end me... but you couldn't. Now I have twenty seconds to end you and I'm sure I will." Arnold was still smiling as he pointed the guns towards the Wyvern's tail first, and without wasting a second, barraged it with bullets.

Arnold wasn't sure whether it would cause any decent damage to the Wyvern or not but the results were surprising to say the least as not only the bullets shot out of his guns managed to penetrate through the Wyvern's skin but also managed to trigger various passive of his gunslinger subclass.
___
You've dealt 598(+0) points of damage to your target.
Damage inflicted after damage reduction due to target's defense : 120 HP
Your bullets triggered the exclusive skill :
• [EXPLOSIVE SHOT]. Additional Damage dealt : 72 HP
• [LUCKY SHOT]. Additional true damage dealt : 39 HP
• [DOUBLE EDGE]. Damage dealt was multiplied by a factor of : 2
Total damage dealt : 461 HP
Target's remaining HP : 20396/25000
___
"Looks like you weren't anything special after all..." Arnold didn't know why but he was a little bit disappointed by the results, he had only fired 10 bullets and not only the Wyvern's tail got severed, it also lost about a fifth of its health!
The Wyvern that was just moments away from killing him, turned out to be pretty weak and yet Arnold was having such a hard time trying to stay alive from the Wyvern's attacks in the first place! Arnold was now pissed at his own 'weakness', wondering if he was actually nothing without his weapon and spells?
The Wyvern was clearly in pain, since it's body was huge, none of the bullets missed their mark. The Wyvern started smashing his paws left and right but it had no effect on Arnold who kept shooting at the lesser dragon, and each of the bullets triggered two if not more passive effects but every sixth bullet that hit the Wyvern was incredibly more painful.
It was because, every sixth bullet that escaped Arnold's weapon had a special effect.
___
• [ STATIC RAGE ] : (Passive ability) After successfully inflicting damage for 5 times in a row, the sixth attack would deal +35% of physical attack as additional true damage.
___
"It's over for you." Arnold mumbled as the Wyvern finally succumbed to the innumerable wounds on its body.
___
You've killed a cosmic being.
EXP : +10000
First rank C Cosmic being killed :
EXP : +12000
First Wyvern killed.
EXP : +8000
___
Although the experience he got was quite huge, his eyes were fixed at one thing, "That Wyvern was a rank C being?"
*****
1. Vritra, also known as "Ahi", is a serpent, wyvern or dragon and is a major asura (demon) in Vedic religion. He is the personification of drought, and adversary of Indra the thunder god (in hinduism) and king of heaven.

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

The Order
The Order takes place within the Human-led Empire, within Glory City. In this Empire in which Magic is policed and its use is regulated, Mages are required to have a licence in order to practice Magic. The Magically inclined, Non-Human Races that have lived under Human rule lived a markedly different life to Humans, which had led to a somewhat contentious relationship. A law enforcement agency known as The Order is responsible for maintaining Magical order, and is also responsible for doling out justice to those who break the law. Consisting of the Magic using Mages, and the more technologically inclined Knights, these Agents are regarded as protectors by some, but as oppressors by many. The tale follows the exploits of Izano Zuko, a mysterious man, covered from head to toe in burn scars and wrapped in bandages. He arrives in Glory City with the backing of the City Lord, unknown abilities and secret intentions. Trouble starts up almost as soon as he arrives, and Zuko is thrown into a conflict between the Order and an unknown enemy. This is a complete book, and I plan to upload a chapter every week or so. No cover as yet.

Lord of cauldrons
A man reincarnated to a world where cultivation ruled supreme. One were even practices like human cauldrons and dual cultivation was commonplace and a part of the culture. What was not commonplace was treating these cauldrons with any ounce of respect or affection. These cauldrons were like pills or potions to be used and consumed or thrown away. They were often just a stepping stone in one's immortal path. One man thought, "What if they were my immortal path." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My chinese knowledge is limited to wuxia/xianxia books and cultivator games and I will only follow it loosely, I have my own cultivation system which will be basis for this story The reason I am writing this is because I have yet to find a dual cultivation story that has something I really wanted to read. Using the 'cauldrons' like Pokémon and the 'cauldrons' being the main source of power. I will update this at a minimum of once per week.
