Everyone in Weed's party was part of the entire stat bonus as the first person to enter the new dungeon. The stat defense bonus was focused on Weed and Surka as the main attackers in the team.
While walking through the dungeon, they prepared and devised a viable strategy. They were peering behind the darkness. In the passageway there was a small group of undead, 2 skeleton magers, 1 skeleton soldier and 1 skeleton archer. Their bodies are only made of human skeletons that look porous everywhere.
After being prepared enough they immediately stormed towards the enemy, playing their respective positions.
"Ma-human? A-da ma-man lives." The Skeleton closest to Weed shouted in surprise. His voice was hoarsely wet and stammered, like a very old man.
"Manu-sina." The empty eye sockets of the skeleton lit up as red as blood.
The killer's powerful aura gushed out strongly as they dashed towards Weed's team. Their skeletons churned as they moved, like the sound of a broken bone.
Weed raised the sword high, "Bring up the victory. Attack!"
CLANGS!
Weed, who had first advanced, immediately held back the Skeleton Warrior sword. Not just stopping the enemy's attack, Weed smoothly deflected the opponent's attack to the side, then counterattacked no less fierce.
That's not a skill in the game. Weed naturally unleashed sword arts in the real world seamlessly.
"Triple!"
POP!
SNAP OUT!
CRACK IT!
Weed was using 3 consecutive attacks. Stabbing the opponent's chest, slashing diagonally, as the sword retracted, utilizing the momentum of the body's movements to slash once again as an additional attack.
The mastery of this skill gave the potential to augment attacks. But still named triple because it is taken from 3 main attacks.
If the three consecutive attacks were blocked by the enemy, there was a chance to bring up the fourth slash. If this fourth attack could also be withheld, there was also a very small chance of taking out the fifth slash.
In the midst of a fierce fight, Weed pulled out a skill without shouting his nickname, Triple.
Triple is a very difficult skill to be followed by the eyes. Even a split second could determine between life and death. Especially if one was able to take advantage of that moment to target the enemy's weaknesses.
Because, Triple was originally intended as 3 quick slashes, which take advantage of enemy weaknesses when attacking.
On top of all this, Weed was able to maneuver the sword using his original abilities, to create a gap in the opponent's defense. Unsurprisingly, the Skeleton Soldier's ribs were shattered instantly, hit by Weed's sword attack.
Only someone like Weed, was able to think of using such a ruthless method when eliminating his enemy.
Just then, the Skeleton Mages in the back row started casting spells to target Weed. Fortunately, Romuna's spell blocked her attack first.
"Fire Strike!"
Due to his high ability, when using this skill, 6 fireballs instantly shot out regarding both skeleton mages at once. He's like an annoying bully who always thwarts enemy spells before they're effective. Romuna laughed vilely, her facial expression looking extremely irritating, "You guys are mine, you son of a bitch!"
Next to him, Pale focused on the only skeleton of the archer. The two were both fiercely replying to each other's arrows, "Eat this!"
"Blessed Arrow!" He released an arrow that emitted a flash of golden light blinding the eyes.
Naturally, the undead hated light, blessing and the like. Light is their main weakness. However, in contrast to the high-leveled undead, they could even walk under the scorching sun without any problems.
Pale arrows slid rapidly targeting the Archer skeleton. It moves as fast as lightning.
While in close combat, there was Surka who fiercely punched the Skeleton Mage with the support of Romuna. The muscles of the girl's hands until they form so fierce their fight. They fought hard at risking each other's lives because this was their first time fighting a formidable enemy.
On the left was Weed who only handled Skeleton Soldiers. His face looked calm, but his heart was overjoyed to enjoy this refreshing sensation. His muscles seemed to be burning by the flames of fighting spirit. 'Finally my body can breathe freely.'
"Matiiiiii!!!!" The bones of the skeleton soldier rattled as he leaped high then unleashed a powerful attack upon landing on the ground. Although his sword was full of cracks, but the power behind his attack was immense.
'Despite that, their movements were too easy to read.' Weed was just relaxing enjoying the battle.
He activated another skill, "Backstab!"
As the skeleton sword reached its target, only Weed's shadow remained. Weed's body was already behind the enemy, and slashed the skeleton's neck with a single slash.
Critical Hit!
A critical attack!
Requiring proper timing, even 1/1000 second will have an effect on critical attack success.
Intentionally doing so means having its own risks. Therefore, if successful it will be very satisfying.
After receiving damage from Triple and Backstab, the bones of the Skeleton fell scattered into a pile without life.
"Weed, over here!" surka shouted, her voice sounding very tired. Fighting two Mage Skeletons at once was too draining his strength. As a Paladin, he did have high Agility until his movements were very fast. But at this moment, his body was gradually numb. He was already out of bounds.
The stat notification bar of the window makes the focus of Surka diverted.
You've been poisoned!
You have been cursed!
Strength decreases!
Agility decreases!
He really fought it all out, until his life was at the end of the horn. The intoxication and curse made his wounds bleed nonstop. Surka's entire body was covered in black smoke from the curse of the Mage Skeleton. The curse was stronger and faster than Irene's blessing, so she was overwhelmed by her support. But they can't stop fighting because Surka's life is at stake. They end up suffering together.
"My precious EXP, I'm coming!' Weed lightning-fast shot towards one of Surka's bullies to save him.
"Sculpting Blade!" He shouted out in spirit as he entered the battle arena.
Since where Weed had recovered, he instantly launched the Sclupting Blade skill to slash through the mage skeletons, instantly disappearing in a flash of gray light. They died sooner than he thought. This was thanks to Romuna who had previously bombarded where they got to the bottom.
Finally, the remaining Skeleton Archer immediately died due to the attack of Pale arrows supported by Romuna.
"Wow! We finally won!" Surka shouted excitedly while looking relieved.
"Even our levels go up." Pale smirked in satisfaction feeling his strength slightly different.
Their opponent had just been level 15 levels higher than them. Of course they would get a lot of stat hikes, coupled with stat bonuses as the first person to discover a dungeon. Of course they won a lot.
Romuna and Irene were sitting limp, still bored. Romuna gave a small laugh looking at Irene, her partner also laughed, he raised his right hand, then they were five. After that they both slept together to recover the mana they lost a lot while dispelling the curse and bully the troops.
Meditation can restore mana. Unfortunately, those exclusive skills were only for the Mage and priest professions. It meant Weed couldn't learn it. He is happy that his partner can recover quickly, although a little sad about this reality. But as usual, he chose to ignore it, each profession had its own advantages and disadvantages. He was sure that one day he would definitely find which recovery skill was faster.
Pale sat down next to Romuna, "Good work everything."
Weed replied to Pale and the others, "Should we see now what items we got?"
Surka raised her hand, "Again! I'm very curious."
In the previous battle they would take the drop item only when they wanted it. But this time was different, they had only gone through one fierce battle, as if they were walking on a thin ice-covered lake. Every missed moment is precious. So they would collect all the drop items that the skeletons dropped.
Worn Bloodstained Gloves!
Endurance :7/40
Defense :6
An item filled with hatred and death.
Although it strengthens the user, this item is better avoided.
Terms :
• 50 Levels
• 100 Of Strength
Effect :
• 20 Increases Strength
• 10% Offensive Strength%
• 200 HP decrease
Surka and Pale let out a long sigh seeing his weakness except Weed of course.
Boots of the Cold Ones!
Endurance :9/50
Defense 5
Shoes made to fight the grip of the ground. Because it is made of water buffalo skin, it will give a comfortable feeling when worn.
Effect: Increases ice magic resistance by 15%
Items like this aren't bad at all. Can be sold at merchants, but better used. The gloves reduce the user's HP, but the defense is quite high. It will be more suitable if used.
At present, some stat bonuses from the discovery of the dungeon are still continuing, there are still many best items that have not been identified. While resting, they checked one by one the drop items that the opponent dropped earlier.
Clay Swords!
Endurance: 12/65
Damage: 23-25
A magic sword with ice magic. Will provide 2-5 bonus damage to targets that use armor and reduce enemy movement.
Terms :
• 60 Levels
• the 200 Strangt
Effect :
• 2-5 damage ice magic
A terrible smile appeared on Weed's face, 'Jackpot!'
How not, a sword worth over 100 gold finally arrived before his eyes as a drop item. Although compared to the Clay Sword in the store, the drop of items like this was lower. And the maximum endurance of the sword will be reduced little by little, if the sword is not immediately repaired. But Weed was still very satisfied, because he had repair skills.
Pale closed his eyes for a moment while staring in amazement at the sword, "Isn't this-" He couldn't continue words so shocked by its advantages.
Even he felt greed begin to creep around him. However, he is also an ordinary human who can feel jealous, greedy and others. Remember that! It is categorized as human nature.
Weed was of course the first to notice Pale's gaze, he walked slowly into the middle of the team. The clothes look simple, there has been no change since the beginning of entering the game until now. He has neither armour nor strong shoes.
Weed deliberately looked at Pale while clucking his waist. "The assailants just now were really draining. I don't know how our lives are going now if they're twice as many."
"..." - ".Pale stammered knowing the intent behind his words. He tried hard to hold back the tears as he pulled over, allowing Weed to claim all three rare items. If Weed who was their main shield did not have good equipment, then who would replace him if he happened to lose his life.
"Things like this should belong to Pale." Weed's voice sounded weak and uneasy.
Pale was at a loss for words made by him. Even more surprised by Weed's stratagem, "..."
"However, since I am someone who has to fight enemies on the front lines, it would be helpful to wear good gear. Take it easy, the next drop item will definitely be given to Surka and Pale." Weed nodded confidently.
This is a classic example of transmitting a disease then offering a cure.
Weed would be the luckiest person if he got the items. But back again, this is everyone's decision. If he managed to obtain it, then he would be freed from the Hard Iron Sword instructor awarding in the Training Hall.
Suddenly a hoarse voice shocked the tense atmosphere.
"Ma-human! There is nothing, beloved Undead Knight!" A skeleton knight appeared uninvited.
Everyone suddenly froze on the spot, too shocked by his arrival.
They made a mistake, but this time it was fatal. Usually they deliberately lure the enemy into the territory that has been prepared. But now the skeleton knight found them first while on a break. This was because they were too careless towards the enemy territory.
The eyes of the skeleton knight were glowing sinisterly. His entire skeleton was covered in armor that looked strong. A monster of more than 100 levels. This formidable creature directly attacked Weed's team.
The Skeleton Knight swung its sword from afar, successfully slashing at Surka's waist which happened to be right in front of her, "Kyaaa!"
Surka was still frozen in place, forgetting to dodge. Luckily he did not die, but his HP was reduced by more than 35%.
"Groan!" Weed jumped between Surka and the skeleton knight while holding the Clay Sword he had just picked up. He was the only one who could still think clearly in the midst of a crisis like this.
'A monster of a level above 100.' Certainly not an easy opponent to face.
Weed's knees started to shake. Not out of fear of the enemy, because he considers an opponent who is level 30 over him is a fair opponent for him. His concern was only with the miserable endurance of Clay Sword. He was afraid in case the sword was destroyed during this fight.
Unfortunately he could not change weapons when the enemy was right in sight. His heart was anxious, but he had to focus, "Please, please, don't destroy my new weapon!"
Surka finally realized when Weed was already fighting desperately against the enemy, "Weed! Be careful!"
He ran back, clutching tightly onto the shoulders of his two comrades who were still fast asleep, then shook him with all his might, "Romuna! The irene! Banguuunnnn! Skeleton knight has appeared!" He screamed right in the ears of the two.
Finally, all the team members suddenly prepared to fight. Yet the skeleton knight had no desire to wait for them to finish preparing. He had already started an extremely powerful first attack, continuing towards the next attack.
For the first time, Weed felt the need for the existence of his fragile sword, 'I cannot lose this sword!'
It would be too late if he wanted to back out. So Weed could only dodge the opponent's attack, not block it. As a result, minor injuries were inevitable, but he felt his body was worth sacrificing to protect the fragile bones. Of course this word brittle bone was addressed to his new sword.
'Wait, have I fixed these gloves and shoes?' Weed tried to dig into his memory.
"Damn!" Weed hissed as the endurance of his gloves and shoes nearly ran out.
As for weapons like Clay Sword would not lose much endurance unless it made a physical box straight away. Unlike equipment such as gloves and shoes that easily lose endurance when a player is hit by an attack.
Endurance is a strange attribute, when the points are very high, it decreases slowly. But when the points were low, a single strike would instantly destroy the item.
'Why do we have to now?' The longer Weed thought the longer his heart felt bitter.
His body rolled on the ground trying to dodge the skeleton attack.
Clangs!
The skeleton knight's sword swung down almost hitting his head.
Such skills often appeared in the action novels Weed read. Special skill, twisting motion then rolling on the ground to avoid the opponent's attack. But when practiced it is not as easy as read. Everything needs determination, struggle. Although his skill missed far, Weed ignored him. Something like self-esteem is meaningless anymore in this kind of precarious situation.
His heart was much more broken thinking his new gloves, shoes and sword had to be sacrificed. He deliberately stalled as much time as possible until all his team finished preparing.
Before long, they were finally ready to simultaneously begin to react launching their respective flagship skills. Pale the dart expert, Irene the blessing and holy magic expert, Romuna the magician, without hesitation launched the strongest skill.
"Fire Field!" In order to stop the movement of the skeleton knight as quickly as possible, Romuna deliberately cast an area spell.
THE VOOSH!
The red jago began to spread from the exact skeleton knight standing.
Weed and Surka retreated quickly to avoid the flames. As time went by, Weed used the small opportunity to remove new equipment, then replaced it with a scratch-off Iron Sword everywhere. He regretted not having time to use the repair skill on his items, especially now that the situation was dire, he only had time to remove his new item.
"I knew he wouldn't die so easily." Romuna was convinced by his opinion. "Eat the fire!" His spell attacked the enemy strongly but there was no significant change to the uninvited enemy.
"Basic fucking asshole!" Being too tired, he could not control his emotions. Swearing will lighten the burden on his shoulders. In the team, other than Weed's sword skill, Romuna's second greatest source of strength was Fire Mastery.
He was annoyed that normally the Fire Field skill would deal great damage to enemies. Of all the skills that increased fire magic power and effects, fire mastery was only ranked eighth. No one was sure if this attack was enough to kill an enemy of over 100 level like a skeleton knight.
The fire that engulfed the skeleton knight was instantly extinguished, while the skeleton knight was still standing there solidly, impeccably. His sword lit up with flames, the orange flames still enveloping his eye sockets and his rib cage. He looked like a Flaming Skeleton Knight. Although he received considerable damage, but he was still alive, instead the fire field seemed to make him even stronger.
"Fucking humans!" The Skeleton Knight directly charged forward.
Weed faced the damned creature with confidence. This time he would not hold back anymore, as there was nothing he was worried about like before. The fire of spirit in his eyes was no less dazzling than the rays of the eyes of the opponent.
"Sculpting Blade!" Iron Sword Weed danced gracefully as he approached the Skeleton Knight in front of him. Plus Romuna's spell, Surka's fist and Pale's arrow that strikes the target in quick succession.
"Grrr!" The Skeleton Knight was extremely strong, he was able to withstand their successive attacks casually, as if they were just tiny insects that could be stepped on whenever he wanted.
The fight is heating up and getting more intense.
Weed's mana had not been fully complete since the previous battle. So he could not use his deadly sword skill. So far, Weed could dodge enemy attacks relying solely on his agile moves. Honey, his attack couldn't deal damage to even a fingertip.
Not only was Weed in trouble, but all of his party members also found it difficult to deal with this one cursed creature. The longer the fight went on, the more mana was depleted, they could barely hold on. Within minutes, the situation got worse.
"Where I'm done. I can't give anymore blessings. I'm sorry, everyone." Irene looked desperate. He looked down sadly.
Even though Weed and Surka were still able to attack the enemy, it was only a matter of time until their lives were gone, then the lives of all the remaining members of his team would disappear.
'So it ended up like this.' Weed decided to use the most powerful last attack he had.
"Kaiser Word!"
Kaiser Swors were the final form of the Formless Imperial Sword Technique. However this was just a name made by Weed. He would have to wait to see if this skill was truly worthy of being given the noble title, Sword Kaiser.
