Chapter 59: Darkest Night’s Second Ability

[Host! The Darkest Night’s second ability has just extracted some energy from the enemy. Using it to recover the Host’s stamina.]

A notification appeared, and the next moment Ember could feel a surge of energy within her body, which filled her with the strength she had lost.

Her body felt good, and it was as if the punch she had received was just a small push, nothing more.

’System, what is this?’

A smile bloomed on her face and she could hear the footsteps of the machine, as it was walking toward her, but, she ignored it and just looked at the new screen which had appeared in front of her.

[This is the ring’s second ability, and it is called ’Life Drain’ which absorbs a part of the enemy’s life force and converts it into your own stamina and health. Since your current enemy is a robot it could only extract some energy, but, if used on a living being, it will be able to drain someone’s health too.]

The system explained and the girl, after reading its explanation, couldn’t help but nod her head.

"I can’t waste this opportunity."

Saying that Ember clenched her fists and took a deep breath, before raising her head to look at the incoming machine.

’System, tell me how this works. How can I absorb more energy from the robot?’

She asked and the next moment her answer appeared in front of her.

Ding!

[Life Drain – This is the second ability of the ’Darkest Night’ Ring. It can be used to extract life force from enemies, and the absorbed energy will convert into your own life force, strength, and health. The more life force the user takes, the higher the chance to take a vital part of the opponent’s life and increase the chance to steal the opponent’s skill.]

[Long explanation short: Just hit it or get hit by its attacks, and if it is an attack that can be avoided, then don’t avoid it and take the hit, because, if the robot hits you, a bit of its energy will be transferred into you.]

"I see, so, I just need to keep getting hit."

Ember said and the next moment the machine reached closer to her, and its leg raised, before the girl took the hit.

Bam!

The kick connected and the girl was blasted away, but this time, she didn’t let herself get thrown far, as she landed on the ground.

"Ugh!"

A loud groan left her mouth but the smile on her face never disappeared.

"System, don’t use the energy and instead keep gathering it."

The system acknowledged her and did as she said, while the girl went for the machine again.

Bam!

Again, the punch landed and again, the kick connected, and this time, she was blasted away even further.

But, her body didn’t stop moving, and she got up immediately, before running toward the machine again.

And, again, with a punch in her face, she crashed into the ground and a painful cry left her mouth.

Her whole body was aching, and she could feel the taste of blood in her mouth.

Yet, her will was not broken, and the girl got up again.

The test went on for 5 minutes, and Ember kept getting hit and kept getting up again until the last hit made her unable to move.

Now, she was lying on the ground and her whole body was aching like hell.

Blood was trickling down her mouth, and the girl was breathing heavily.

"Huff, huff, huff, huff,"

Nevertheless, a smile was on her face and her eyes were looking at the machine that was now above her was going to stomp on her.

"Participant Ember, please give up. I repeat, participant Ember, please give–"

The announcer was shouting, but his words fell on deaf ears, as the girl couldn’t hear him.

It was because her senses were all focused on the robot above her which had its leg raised high, while she patiently waited for it to come down on her.

All the spectators were silent, and the people watching from the control room were thinking that the test was going to fail.

Yet, the moment the machine brought its foot down, the girl’s lips moved and a single word "System," left her mouth.

Ding!

[Using some of the extracted energy to recover the Host’s health and the remaining energy to increase the Host’s power by 10 times.]

A notification appeared and Ember’s body began to glow with a dark aura.

It was not an illusion, everyone present there could see the burning dark glow surrounding the girl.

It was as if Ember’s whole body was on fire and instead of being red, yellow, or green, its color was black.

Just then, the girl’s right hand moved and caught the leg that was about to hit her.

Bam!

Instantly, the leg was stopped, and a loud explosion was heard, which caused the spectators to widen their eyes.

"Oh my god,"

"What is this?"

"How did she do it?"

The spectators were surprised and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

As for the ones in the control room, their jaws dropped open and their minds were in disbelief.

Because, what the girl had just done was something beyond their expectation, and was something not even they had anticipated.

Ember had caught the leg, and the next moment, with a smile on her face, her hand began to push it up, and the robot, whose balance was lost, began to fall.

Bam!

Another loud sound was heard and the machine crashed onto the ground.

However, the robot was not broken, and a moment later, it tried to stand up again.

But, its attempts were stopped by the girl, as she stood up and pointed her hand toward it.

"System,"

The word left her mouth, and a few moments later, a black ball of energy appeared in her hand.

It was different from the previous one and was much bigger and black lightning could be seen crackling on it.

Then, in an instant, the girl launched the black ball, and it collided with the robot’s chest, causing another loud explosion.

Boom!

The robot was blown up into pieces and a wave of black energy was sent out, which pushed the girl back a bit.

Clink!

Clank!

The pieces of the robot fell into different places, and smoke rose from the pile of metal that was in front of Ember.

"Participant Em-Ember’s test has ended. The score is 65 out of 100."

The announcer’s voice sounded a bit shocked and it was only because he had witnessed what had just happened.

The spectators, on the other hand, were a bit stunned, and their bodies were stiffened.

"We just tried to make an enemy out of the wrong person."

The guy who had shouted earlier about Ember having her turn before him couldn’t believe what he had just seen, and the same was true for the other candidates.

"Yeah, she is amazing."

"I agree. She is very cool."

"Whoever her boyfriend is, he must be very lucky."

While the candidates were chatting among themselves, Ryan, who was looking at the testing area with a calm face, couldn’t help but let out a small smile, and then, a chuckle.

"Hahaha,"

He was laughing, and his eyes were filled with pride as he looked at the girl, who was still standing in the same place.

’You did well, Ember.’

Thinking that the man’s lips parted and the word, "Good," escaped his mouth.

Meanwhile, Ember, who was panting heavily, couldn’t care less about what others were thinking, and her mind was only focused on the results.

’Only 65?’

A frown appeared on her face and her mind was disappointed.

She thought she could at least get over 80, but instead, she got only 65, which was a very low score for her.

"Hey, Ember,"

Suddenly, her ears picked up the sound of Marine’s voice, and she turned around to where the sound of the footsteps was coming from.

"Are you okay? You aren’t much hurt, are you?"

As soon as Marine was close enough, her hands stretched forward as she began to examine the girl.

She saw small scratches, some wound, and a burise on Ember’s face. There was even blood on her lips, but the most worrying thing was the girl’s eyes, which were a bit red and her eyelids were half-opened.

’Damn, she is really hurt. I don’t even know how she is standing.’

Marine thought but didn’t show her concern and just continued, "Good job. Now, come. Let’s go to the waiting room and get your wound healed."

After saying that, Marine helped Ember walk out of the fighting area, while the other candidates just kept watching them silently.

Meanwhile, Ryan, who was also watching them, took his phone out of his pocket when he saw them leaving, and began to write down a message.

’Is she alright?’

He typed and sent it, after that he kept looking at the screen, and a moment later, a reply appeared.

’Yeah, she is okay. The damage was not much and I will heal her when we go back. So, don’t worry.’

It was the reply he had gotten, and reading it, Ryan smiled, before typing his next words.

’Ok, take care of her.’

Sending the message, Ryan put his phone in his pocket and stood up from his chair.

"Let’s go. It is the time to meet the old man Issac,"

With that, he, too, left the room and the door was closed behind him.
