The Dragon Soul Forging

36. Arc 2 End (A Family)

Roxy keeps barking at the laptop, I think she misses her employer.

“Maybe we really need to visit the refugee once. But before that let's do some preparation.”

Roxy was immediately excited to hear that we were going to the evacuation. He'll go outside soon.

I am reminded of the evolution we all went through after going up against Wong Pute or the Old Star. The scales on my body grew more and more after the evolution of being a lizard man, while Jek somehow transformed into a woman.

We both experienced significant changes after evolving, but in contrast to the animals whose changes were not very visible.

I don't even know what's different about them.

Unless if.

The dragon's eyes shone as I used the new ability that opened up.

Doesn't Underdog mean Featured?

Does that mean Roxy is the flagship dog breed?.

I had absolutely no idea about the kind of race that changed after evolution. My own race is a lizard-man but I look more like a human, although there are some reptile scales in some parts of my body.

Roxy's unique Skill (Shadow follow) and Skill (Shadow) caught my attention, roughly what kind of ability it was. I wanted to hunt monsters with Roxy and the other animals to see their development after evolution, but I couldn't do it because my work was so much.

***

Going down to the basement, I saw that place had actually turned into a blacksmith's workshop. Many swords and various weapons of various types hung neatly on the walls.

While many boxes containing monster materials and iron stacked neatly on the other side where Tohir did weapon forging. Seeing how indifferent the Dwarf was to the surrounding area while forging, it made me doubt if he was the one who cleaned up all the equipment in this place.

“Is it possible that Jek cleaned this place?.”

Tohir who was so focused on making me not want to disturb him, I chose to wait and pay attention. Unknowingly the dragon's eyes shone again then...

[Getting knowledge about blacksmithing]

“Hah?.”

[Job Blacksmith open]

“Lah?.”

Suddenly I opened the blacksmith job just by watching how Tohir works. Perhaps this is the effect of the new abilities of the dragon eyes that I have opened.

[Dragon Wisdom 2: Sharpen observation]

Thanks to this ability as well I was able to see the stats belonging to others.

I wonder how Tohir has much stronger stats than Roxy, what this has to do with the Dwarf Race, or due to other factors like Job and Degree.

What is Blessing?.

How did he get it?.

I'm very curious.

[Job Blacksmith level up]

Without doing anything the work of the blacksmith had already leveled up. The power of the dragon eye is indeed very extraordinary, maybe there will come a time where I can master all the abilities in this world.

“Huwa..”.

“You've been waiting a long time?.”

I almost laughed out loud, Tohir's therapy awakened me. Apparently he had finished making the weapon he was working on.

“Yes, that's it. But don't worry I really enjoy watching you work, it gives me a lot of knowledge on how to become a blacksmith.”

My words are not a lie, because I already have a blacksmith job just by paying attention to how he works.

“Good then.”

Tohir smiled widely, as if he was planning something on me. After picking up the equipment, we got out of the house. Pushrank, Roxy and the others were already waiting outside.

“Everything is ready?.”

My question was answered with the noise of the stars, Yep they are ready. Me and Tohir immediately boarded the carriage pulled by Pushrank, while Jek sat in front as a coachman.

We went out of the fields and residential areas to the forest where the Dungeon was located. Our goal of approaching the territory of the monsters was to harvest herbs and also we would build a garden there.

“Good be prepared.” I warned everyone.

The skill (Hero sense) I have has reached level eight, making me able to feel all the existence within a radius of 150 meters.

From the smallest creatures to the ones hiding their existence in the trees, I can see their existence very clearly.

Tohir soon changes Jek's position as a coachman, while Jek himself now aboard Goty's mistress will be tasked with protecting the carriage along with the dogs and chickens.

As for me, “West at ten, standing on the branch of the tree.” after hearing my words, Jek immediately picked up one arrow then released it in the direction I pointed.

The cry of the monster sounded as soon as Jek released his arrows. It was a chameleon as big as a cat, a monster that could camouflage so it was troublesome to deal with.

But the skill is meaningless in front of the skill (Hero Sense) that I have.

Suddenly there was a herd of monsters was a huge number heading towards us. It seemed like the Dungeon was already aware of the existence of this troupe.

I immediately prepared myself for the fight.

An entourage of monsters of various types, they were much stronger than the monsters encountered outside the forest. Most have levels between 7-9, and some have broken through level 10.

That means they've made evolution. We have to be wary of monsters that have evolved because they have unique skills.

The fight went well. Despite being outnumbered but the compactness and fighting experience made us superior. The number of opponents gradually began to erode, the fight would soon be won.

But it won't be that fast.

The wind blew, a streak of wind drifted towards Roxy, aware of the coming attack, making the Doberman dog immediately enter into the shadow that is the expertise of (Shadow follow).

The invading monster turned out to be a blue praying mantis, it was clear that he was an evolved monster.

Roxy who entered into the shadow again appeared near the praying mantis, he immediately jumped out and pounced on the insect's neck until it broke.

Some raccoon assassins target Roxy who is suddenly in the middle of the enemy ranks, but the fast-moving chickens jump from the branches of the tree share the ninja to face the raccoons.

Akita howled while activating a skill (Gigantism) that made the dog's body grow bigger. In addition to making the body shape bigger, the skill also makes the health and defense of the Akita strengthened.

Then the last is the support group, tek, Oyen and their mistress Goty provide assistance to the front row attackers by attacking from behind and providing supporting magic.

“Looks like I don't need to intervene.”

This fight will last for days. I want to clear the forest of monsters because there are so many things I want to do here.

“Creating a secret fortress is not bad.”

Many things we did in the forest and plantations, so it did not feel even a few weeks passed. During that time I felt our relationship was getting closer, as if I had found a family.
