[You have defeated Level 56 Death Dog]
[Gained 1000 Experience]
It counts, even if my minions kill the monsters, I still get the experience.
Well, that leaves us with three more dogs to deal with.
The dogs appear to have some kind of inherent resistance to toxins or acid. After the initial burst of corrosive poison, they promptly recovered taking aggressive stances.
I was about the same height as the minion gnoll, and its frame was a bit bigger than mine. There's no way I can handle four of them on my own, but the gnoll was capable of. My hypothesis proved to be correct...when I combined the two monsters, their experience also combined, making them stronger and more intelligent.
Enraged, these three monsters begin slashing their claws wildly, nearly cutting their own allies. They lost their minds, did they?
But it became even riskier than
The mosquito didn't bother me yesterday, and the crazy dogs didn't appear either. I slept peacefully for several hours.It's been a while since I have had much rest, and my injuries have also healed completely.. It never ceases to astonish me how quickly I recover from injury.[Mana 219/255]Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for my mana regeneration. Is there a way to increase my mana regeneration speed? I would have to look for it from the system skill shop.Come to think of it, the new skill I obtained from the Gnoll Boss didn't appear too effective.[Life-drain(Unique): The user steals a certain amount of HP from its target, and apply it to their own]Is the life-steal too low compared to the damage taken? Given that it is a rank Unique skill, it is rather disappointing. What? Is it an active skill?[Life-Drain: Active skill]There is no way I could have known that! No wonder I couldn't feel its effe
City of LightAmy was on her way to the location given on the quest, it was quite a distance away from the City.[Quest]Explore the abandoned community on the south coast. Additional instructions will be issued by the department head.Amy was checking the quest she got while riding in the cart, "I'm almost there. I wonder what I have to do in the village."After the driver dropped Amy off near the end of the road, he gave her directions, "See the signpost over there? Go towards it and then turn left and you'll be in the village.""Thank you." Amy was grateful for his kind advice.Right after Amy turned left she saw a few houses. Children were playing around in the open field, adult men were chopping wood, women plucking fruits, and everyday stuff you see in a rural place."But she said it was an abandoned village," Amy said, startled.Knowing she won't find out anything just standing there thinking, Amy decided to walk
The dungeon raid for the heroes ended a few days ago and the result was not one Ladia expected.The plan was to rush 3 dungeons with five teams, but a rare monster was found in one dungeon, so the plan had to change.21 heroes from three teams each consisting of seven members entered the dungeon, the abomination maze in order to battle the Blue Slaad, a rare monster.While the two remaining teams were sent to the other two dungeons, all accompanied by 4 C-class warriors of the Empire.Kuro along with six other heroes attacked the Winter vaults dungeon, it was there where he showed his value to the princess. With the help of his Unique skill and his own ability, he cleared half of the monster by himself.The other heroes also followed his lead together taking down the boss of the dungeon without any assistance from the empire's men.This was the report given to Ladia from his men.
Shit, what is that thing?!!!If all the giant creatures I've seen so far can be called huge, then this one is ridiculously huge.No time to waste time! Shit run!Spread-out, minions! Save your master!Using all my strength, I dashed away from the gigantic ice monster, slipping and falling occasionally due to the slippery ice surface.Ghost and gnoll separated into two directions, while the other three minions were placed in the opposite direction...It was all done so that the giant monster would become distracted by them.The only thing I need is enough time to leave this area! I ran for a while without looking back, all I had in my mind was to escape from this goddamn place.My attention was drawn to the monster's movement getting farther away and further away by the second.It appears that my minions distracted the monster.&nbs
The entire process of recovery took approximately two days. Then I made my summons dig out a cave with sufficient room for one person that would be my temporary base. Seeing their skills in digging me out of the ice mountain encouraged me to do so. The forest region would be my hunting ground in search of dungeons or creatures of mystic rank to fuse with my summons.It was unnecessary to cover my summons since they are immortal, so the cave needs just enough space for me.It is unclear how many times my summons can be fused, so I must make an informed decision and pick monsters wisely. The monsters I would like are the bosses and monsters of the mystic rank and above.I move away from the cave, with Ghost scouting the perimeter and Gnoll leading the way, and begin to follow a different path back to the forest region. Hoping to encounter something on the way.The team had been without food for 2 days because I was recovering, I
[You have defeated Level 54 Thunder Ape][You have reached Level 15][Gained 6 stat points]My body was exhausted from the grind as I dropped the body of the dead ape.Due to the immense amount of health of the centipede, I obtained a large amount of CON after consuming the essences and stats of it, a total of 225 CON!In spite of all the cuts by the system, I still obtained over 2,000 health! This was more than I had previously! In addition, I was only able to obtain 3000 essences from the centipede, a very small amount that wasn't enough to upgrade anything, so I decided to go on a mass monster hunt, clearing a safe part of the forest.Running into a strong monster wasn't a problem, since strong monsters were always huge because they chose that size when they evolved.I would recognize a dangerous monster even from a mile away as a result of their size, so I was confident that
It has already been 3 days since Amy started the mission. Her collection of artefacts was cleaned with ocean water during the time she spent searching for them, but unfortunately, she was unable to unlock them yet. In addition, it was discovered that the items had a connection with the ocean. Thus, she used ocean water to clean them up. When doing so, the artefacts began to glow as if they were recharging with mana. Unlocking them, however, was not possible. How did she manage to discover all those artefacts, you ask? It's only because she learned a new skill. Amy experimented with something new on her second day. Although she hasn't learned much about mana control, she knew there was so much more she could do. So she didn't just rummage inside the burnt hut for artefacts. She made it a challenge for herself, walking to the beach and meditating there for an hour and overcoming her frustration. Such patience is admirable. During her meditation, she was
The discovery of dungeons has been the task of all civilised races that live above the ground ever since the first dungeon was discovered.Nevertheless, it has proven impossible to facilitate a unified approach and free sharing of information. All empires, kingdoms, churches, organisations or aristocratic families that spent time and effort revealing the depth and secrets beneath their feet kept their own piece of information hidden from common perception. Holding onto snippets of information like family treasure.Although public information about the world below has been confirmed much, enough is known for everyone to have an understanding of the dangers and opportunities that may exist.A key discussion is the various grades of dungeons, according to the depth and amount of mana they contain.The highest level of dungeon ever conquered by the Civilization was of disaster grade, with 60 S-class warriors deployed and 200 A-clas
"Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st
Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for
My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to
A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,
"Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou
The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g
The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of
Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br
The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
