Werewolf (2)

It wasn’t a top species just because of its size.

The top species usually have more powerful and diverse ways of using the main skills of the lower species.

In the case of the Giant Spider, they have the same spider web attack, but with more power and more techniques to use them.

The Giant Wolf also had the incredible speed of its lower counterparts, especially considering its huge mass.

“Aw wow!”

“Kuh-eo-oh!”

In particular, they have rapid acceleration at unexpected moments.

A unique ability to hit a blow that is impossible to avoid.

Now, I have to face five of them.

However, compared to an intermediate monster, their body movement is still dull.

If I was facing five trolls at the same time, I would have been knocked out by now, without even hitting any of them even once.

But they weren’t trolls.

My Beast Charge was at a Lower level. My physical abilities were even better.

It means that my speed can easily match theirs.

If the Werewolf King was alive, it would have been quite annoying to face these guys, along with whatever magic trick he has.

But he’s dead.

These wolves have lost their leader.

I cut them down steadily and quickly with Power Attacks.

Don’t let them dodge your attacks; don’t let their attacks hit you.

Compared to Giant Spiders, the number of airborne exchanges decreased. That alone sped up the battle.

I was able to catch up with them with my speed, and my power overwhelmed them.

Gradually, a puddle of wolf blood covered the 2F boss room’s floor.

I let my armor and sword absorb them.

Every time Blood Shadow swung in the air, flaming blood shoots out of it. Its accuracy is greatly influenced by Martial Arts, and they land upon the wolves’ exposed necks effortlessly.

“Kuh-eo-oh-oh!”

The last remaining Giant Wolf cried as if it was unfair.

“Yes, you are right. I’m sorry,” I kindly replied, before cutting his neck off with simultaneous manifestation of flaming blood and black thunderbolt on my sword.

“I’m too much.”

[You gained 20,580 experience.]

[You acquired 27 silver.]

[You acquired Giant Wolf’s mane.]

[You acquired the Grudge Fang.]

His body collapsed. This means that all the monsters guarding the 2F boss room have lost their lives.

One Werewolf King, and five Giant Wolves.

It was obvious that the wolves’ superior species would taste great.

I would have explored the taste right here, but now there was something more important than that.

[0:06:29]

A buff that triples the amount of money and items acquired. Six minutes is still a long time.

It took me 15 minutes to reach the boss room, and about 9 minutes to kill all of them.

If you compare it to the boss room battle in 1F, it was really an incredible development.

The Werewolf King’s throne disappeared, and the reward that I was expecting came out.

I opened the treasure chest.

On 1F, I received Erma’s Carnelian Staff, the sacrificed weapon I used to make the Blood Shadow.

As this is a higher-level reward, I thought it would be better than that, and the thought that it tripled was also filling my head with expectations.

I opened the treasure chest immediately.

What appeared in it were two scrolls and a ring.

Honestly, it was a little different from my expectations.

I was a little disappointed as I checked them.

[Armor Synthesis Scroll (1/1)]

[Erma’s Bloodstone Ring (280/280)-Defense 0.]

[Emotion scroll (1/1). Rareness Unique.]

“Hmm.”

Although the rewards were subtle, it was enough for me.

My weapon is good for me already, and I have a lot of armor, so it was a good time for the armor composite scroll to appear right now. It’s just a pity that I don’t know now whether this synthesis scroll is rare or unique.

An accessory named Erma, just like the staff. This is also good. Other than weapons and armor, accessories can add special abilities to me. This rule often appears not only in games but in various novels and movies. Isn’t there a story of suffering through hardship and adversity with the power of a special mirror and a special ring? However, as with the armor scroll, the rarity of the ring was not specified.

Then, a unique emotion scroll. This costs 55-gold in Rain’s shop. What am I supposed to do with this?

Wait a minute…

My ignorant head seemed to find out a solution.

Synthesis scrolls can be activated when I’m ready to build the armor.

Depending on the level of the scroll, the number of materials required to use it will also vary.

The lower the grade, the more materials it would need. The higher the grade, the less.

Then, I don’t need to use the emotion scroll to find out the grade of the synthesis scroll.

I’ll find out when I use it.

In that case…

I triggered the emotion scroll to evaluate Erma’s Bloodstone Ring.

At that moment, the red jewel at the center of the black metal ring sparkled.

[Erma’s Bloodstone Ring (280/280)-Rareness Unique. Armor 0. Increases magic power by 30.]

[30% increase in the effectiveness of all blood-related skills. Injury recovery rate increased by 20%.]

When I saw the information window, I knew that using the emotion scroll was not in vain.

It was a unique item. What’s more, it was perfect for my set of skills.

My blood-related skills are regeneration skills and the blood salt from Blood Shadow.

In the future, I’ll be able to expect more damage from the blood salt, as well as an increased rate of recovering from injuries from the regeneration skill.

It was essential to me. I took off one gauntlet and put it on my hand.

Is it because it is an artifact? It automatically fits my finger without any effort, just like my armor.

The treasure chest opening is over.

A dark passageway to 3F appeared, but I didn’t want to look at it now.

Looking back, there are the bodies of five Giant Wolves and a Werewolf King.

From the entrance of Dungeon 2F, I have been waiting for these.

“I will enjoy this food.”

[Predation after hunting Giant Wolf 5/5]

[Lower Beast Charge has become Lv8.]

[Predation after hunting Werewolf King 1/1]

[Lower Regeneration has become Lv7.]

[Lower Power Attack has become Lv9/]

It just took five minutes to eat up five Giant Wolves and a Werewolf King.

For me, this amount of meat was at the level of an appetizer.

I have eaten a thousand monsters in one sitting before, so six was nothing.

The taste was better than I expected. It was so soft and sweet; it was hard to tell if it was more like beef or more like sugar.

I thought that my Predation skill reconstrued the taste of monster meat based on

However, the taste was not so light. I expected beef, but their meat was soft and sweet enough to make it hard to tell whether it was beef or sugar.

Although I believed that the predation skill reconstructed the taste of monster meat based on the food I’ve taken when I was a human, I was wrong.

This luxurious taste – I have never tasted anything like it in my poor, third-class human life.

Five minutes was too short to enjoy the taste of meat that seemed not to exist on Earth.

I wondered if there was really a counterpart to it on Earth.

I deliberately ate slowly to savor the taste, but they soon disappeared without a test, and the only thing left was the leather vest worn by the Werewolf King.

But it doesn’t mean I should be disappointed.

Monsters in 3F are now available to my taste buds.

The monsters in Jinma Tower will also bring me great pleasure.

I just have to be stronger. Then, I can eat more delicious things.

I decided to take the vest of the wolf in my inventory. Then, I checked the description field of Pelcadia’s Gem (Blue), which was full of question marks like that of Pelcadia’s Gem (Red). The Grudge Fang is a non-weapon, pink amulet that looked similar to the dagger I have on my thigh. I placed it alongside it.

This was the first time after killing a monster that I got a weapon that the monster wasn’t ‘wearing.’

It wasn’t strange at all if I compare it to the games I played when I was a human.

Spiders that drop silk gloves, wolves that drop thick wooden canes – in games, getting raw items that seemed to have nothing to do with the monster wasn’t unusual.

I’ve stopped thinking of this dungeon as a game, but it betrayed me.

This time, it was a pleasant betrayal.

Grudge Fang. I’m not sure what this is yet, but I thought it was definitely not an ordinary weapon. I don’t have any regrets using the emotion scroll on Erma’s Bloodstone Ring, however. I may have to visit Rain soon.

But there’s something else I have to do now.

The first time I went in, the ordeal I faced was terrible.

Now, there were nine more trials waiting.

[The conquest of Jinma Tower 1/10]

[Kang Si-ha (Fate)]

[Hob Goblin Assault Lv 58]

[Strength – 338 health – 312 Magic – 146 luck-???]

[Skill-Ebon Heart, Predation Lv3, Intermediate Martial Arts Lv3, Intermediate Armor Defense Lv1, Intermediate Regeneration Lv7, Intermediate Flame Magic Lv3, Intermediate Trap Creation Lv6, Intermediate Power Attack Lv9, Intermediate Power Arrow Lv2, Intermediate Black Lightning Lv3, Intermediate Leap Lv8, Intermediate Sensing Lv6, Intermediate Raid Lv5, Intermediate Lv3, Intermediate Beast Charge Lv8, Lv3, Spider Web Creation Lv3, Beginner Poison Lv7, Intermediate Leadership Lv2, Intermediate Immunity Lv3]

Only

I checked myself. I looked at my own level and skills one by one.

And I was convinced that it was possible to clear this through.

The Ebon Heart thumped.

It’s quickening beat was telling me that the fourth evolution won’t be long from this point.

“Even if you don’t rush, I know.”

Greater changes await me.

I summoned a special door, not to meet Rain, but to meet A.

I headed for the Jinma Tower.
